460 Meeting "Old Friends"
"You also know that I bought MGM and have the idea of revitalizing MGM in my heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf you are interested, you can consider joining us at MGM. Liu Anran looked at the two and said.
"In terms of actors, we will choose the right script for each actor and strive for the opportunity to act. In terms of directors, our rules are a little more relaxed. ”
"Just like James and Justin, the two of them now have their own studios, and AnnLee's studio is in the pipeline."
"In terms of cooperating directors, as long as the script has passed the review, how and how to shoot it is all the director's business. We won't interfere too much on our side, and we will give the director a high enough degree of freedom. ”
The revitalization of MGM should be done as a systematic project. MGM had countless directors and movie stars in its glory days, and it was precisely because of these talents that MGM created its glory.
The success of a film company is not just about how rich you are. Without these directors and actors to create high-quality works for you, no matter how rich you are, you will lose it sooner or later.
Danny? Boyle was not a prolific director, but he had a lot of gold. Cirian? Murphy is not a famous movie star now, but the future development is very good.
Can't all eyes be fixed on Leonardo and Tom? In the case of big-name movie stars like Cruise, they will have a lot of conditions when working together in order to get more income for themselves.
"You're not going to limit the number of videos you can make, are you?" Danny? Boyle looked at Liu Anran and asked seriously.
"How can it be, the director's salary is linked to the film filmed. If you want to rest more, it will only affect your income. Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.
"The reason why I give directors such lenient conditions is that every director can devote himself to the filming of the film, and I want quality rather than quantity."
"So I don't seem to have any reason to refuse? When I think about it, oh my God, why can't I find a reason to say no? "Danny? Boyle squeezed his eyes and said.
Danny? Boyle made a statement, as the lowest status in the house, Cirian? Murphy naturally had no doubts.
"Then you can go back a few days later, and wait for MGM to prepare and hold a signing ceremony." Liu Anran nodded and said.
MGM has just been taken over by itself, and the interior is undergoing a makeover, and the exterior needs to be moved. It's also an advertisement to announce that MGM really wants to do well, not just for the sake of the films in the library.
Now the identities of the two parties have changed, from the cooperation just now to the same company. Although the document has not yet been signed, there will be no changes.
It's a gathering place for Hollywood celebrities, and they often choose it when they talk about movies. When Liu Anran and the others came out after lunch, they met an "old friend" in the corridor.
"I'm thinking about whether to give you less dividends, our film hasn't been released yet, you don't do a good job of publicity and start preparing for the next one." Looking at Spielberg, Liu Anran said with a smile.
There are a lot of old friends, one is Spielberg, and the other is Paramount's Goss. And one of them, not old friends, is Tom? Hanks.
"You still say me? I'd like to ask you why you don't care about my films at all. Can't you help us get a little bigger publicity? This time, all the actors are newcomers, and I'm worried that the box office won't be too high. Spielberg said as he put his arm around Liu Anran's shoulder.
He knew a lot about the grievances between Liu Anran and Paramount, but he didn't expect that he would meet Liu Anran just after the film with Paramount was discussed.
He's nothing, mostly Goss. He could feel the resentment emanating from Goss, the grudge between the two was too deep.
"Hanks, it's a shame that the last collaboration wasn't done. But I still have a very good script here, and I'm looking forward to your joining. The premise is that the salary you want is not too high, and now we at MGM are operating in debt. Liu Anran didn't care about Spielberg but looked at Tom? Hanks said.
"Haha, Andy, I've been complaining to Spielberg for a long time, and I thought my acting skills were really not seen by you. As long as it's a good script, I'm willing to work with you once. "Tom? Hanks said with a smile.
Goss, who was on the side, listened more and more angrily. Seeing Liu Anran, the qi in his stomach was almost full. Now see Liu Anran with Spielberg and Tom? The interaction between Hanks, this rage value has exploded. He felt that Liu Anran was provoking him, or showing off Chiguoguo.
In fact, he really thought badly, and now Liu Anran didn't take him seriously at all. His targets are Paramount, as well as Paramount's parent company, Viacom.
You can't blindly use second- and third-tier actors, and occasionally launch films with the participation of these top actors. Anyway, as long as the film can make money by then, even if it is to give these big-name actors some more salaries.
This is the normal development idea of a film company, and the movies made by others are popular and popular, so you naturally have to give others more rewards.
"Gee, isn't this Goss? This year, the film you Paramount put out doesn't seem to be very good. How did this happen? You are a big film company, and you are a model for us to learn from. Liu Anran looked at Goss again and said with a very concerned look.
Goss felt that his blood pressure was rising in a straight line, but he couldn't find any words to refute Liu Anran.
This year, Paramount released a total of 14 films, and in terms of quantity, Dream Media was completely killed, but at the box office, it was only killed by others.
"Goss, are you feeling a little unwell? Can I call an ambulance for you? Liu Anran continued to ask with concern.
Goss struggled to calm himself down, at Spielberg and Tom? Hanks nodded, turned away without even saying a word.
"Andy, I found out, I must not be hated by you in the future, you are too mean." Looking at Goss's back, Spielberg said helplessly.
"I don't blame me, just think about what they've done to our company. And that Joe, who is now insane and being treated? Decatur, do you think this would have happened if they hadn't egged him on behind his back? Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said without being embarrassed.
Spielberg shook his head, competition between film companies is normal, but competition like theirs is rare.
