"I'm sorry, Pat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Duke spread his hand and made a helpless gesture, "I don't quite understand what you mean, I'm just a director." ”

Pat? Of course, Kingsley understood that Duke was playing dumb, but she explained, "You and Leonardo? DiCaprio is a good friend, so why not convince him to join Nancy's ICM? ”

Hearing this, Duke shook his head, "You should talk to Nancy about this kind of thing, not me." ”

Although he is not afraid of anyone, including CAA, he will not randomly open the aura of ridicule to attract all the hatred in the industry.

In Tom? Hanks is gradually fading out of the actor industry and transforming behind the scenes, Leonardo? DiCaprio became the current controller of CAA, Eno? Martin's most heavyweight client, everyone knows, can firmly stand in the brokerage company under the partnership system, Ino? One of Martin's biggest barriers is the heavyweight customer in his hands.

It's clear that ever with Ino? Martin teamed up to get rid of Martin? Bob's Pie? Kim Si Li has already begun to plot the chair at the front of CAA.

With Michael? Ovitz and Martin? With Bob's departure, the battle between Duke and CAA has long since come to an end. Martin has a very general relationship and will not accept the CAA's packaging policy, which does not mean that he will put himself on the opposite side of the CAA again.

One less enemy is better than one more.

There is no monolith within any company, and internal strife is a normal thing, this is a caa-internal strife, and Duke does not want to be involved in it.

It didn't do him much good, to be exact.

What if Pat? Kingsley finds Nancy? Josephson is going to poach Leonardo, Duke will not intervene, although several brokerage companies are working together against Michael? Ovitz manages the artist's company, but just like Hollywood's six major companies are both cooperating and competing, it's not uncommon to dig into each other's corners.

Seeing that Duke didn't mean to nod his head, Pat? Insley didn't say much and quickly left the place.

"What did you talk to Pat about?"

Another man walked over. She sat directly across from Duke, "She didn't seem to be happy. ”

"Nothing," Duke took Kate? Blanchett handed over the wine glasses and took a sip together. "It's just a few trifles." ”

Kate? Blanchett put down his glass and suddenly said, "I have news that you must be a little interested. ”

Duke made a gesture of please.

"I heard about it some time ago." Kate? Blanchett stopped selling off and said, "Pat wants to take Mel? Gibson brought back to Hollywood. ”

"Really?" Duke couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Your Australian Gang is going to grow again." ”

He didn't care at all, and he didn't really care at all, even if Mel? What else can Gibson do when he returns to Hollywood? This is a circle of forgetfulness, he has disappeared from Hollywood for almost fifteen years, and even when he comes back, he can only play soy sauce in some small production B-grade films. It's basically impossible to get back into the mainstream film industry.

Once had Sylvester? Stallone and Little Roth? Donnie's support, Mel? Gibson disappeared from Hollywood for a shorter period of time, and he couldn't change his fate, let alone now.

The two have not been in contact since the filming of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and the relationship in the past few years can only be said to be very average, Duke can't guess Kate? Blanchett's purpose in saying this, but he also understood that the other party was not just coming over to talk.

Like most people in Hollywood, Duke and Kate? Blanchett then talked about the situation of "The Hobbit", but what was going on in their hearts was known only to them.

That's right. By Peter? Jackson's "The Hobbit" trilogy is about to start filming, and like Duke, New Zealand's big fat man will also adopt a one-time shooting strategy, due to the success of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, a large number of Lord of the Rings fans have created. Warner Bros. also gave Peter? Jackson had a level of trust and support.

In fact, Duke also knows that as long as the special effects of the trilogy are guaranteed, the story is not particularly bad, and the box office and commercial income are not a problem at all.

The day after the party, Duke went to Peter? Jackson met with him in his office in Los Angeles. The whole crew is about to go to New Zealand, and the other party still chose their own home country as the filming location as before.

Of course, the New Zealand government gave the crew the greatest assistance in terms of taxation and manpower support.

Duke didn't stay long before returning to his office, Tina? Faye is already waiting here.

"Our competitors are starting to pull in."

Took the coffee pot and poured yourself a cup, Tina? Faye sat across from Duke's desk and said, "David? Ellison's Sky Film Studios has been actively in contact with several film funds recently, and he himself met with Michael? Eisner and Relativity's Ryan? Kavarag. ”

"So......" Duke's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair, "is he in love with a Disney project?" ”

"Four mega projects, to be exact." Tina? Faye put down his coffee cup, "Tron, Robin Hood, Supership, and Alien Battlefield." ”

She shrugged, "If it weren't for the limited funds he has in his hands, I'm afraid other projects would have been involved." ”

Duke nodded slightly, "David? Ellison could not have more than $300 million in liquidity. ”

Larry? Ellison does have tens of billions of dollars in assets, but with David? Ellison is two different things, and assets and liquidity are different.

What Hollywood and Wall Street film foundations lack now is not assets, but liquidity.

In this respect, Duke, who had been prepared for a long time and had plenty of cash in hand, was a trade partner they could not refuse.

Tina? "The good news is that we have basically agreed with Relativity on four projects, namely Twentieth Century Fox's Avatar and X-Men: First War, and DreamWorks Animation's Crazy Primitives and How to Tame Your Dragon," and the Foundation will acquire their stakes in these film projects at a 40% price that Lalativity originally invested. ”

"Sign the agreement as soon as possible."

This is indeed good news, Duke vs. Tina? Faye gave a thumbs up, "Well done, Tina." ”

"Thank you." Tina? Fei Ze laughed, and then made a joke, "I'm also helping myself make money, don't forget that the foundation has a part of my own investment." ”

Pay to get something, this is the most basic business law, there is never a thing in this world that is willing to serve others and does not receive remuneration.

Duke is well aware of this, and the core members of his team are the highest-paid people in the same position in the circle, such as Tina? People like Fei will also get a portion of his investment funds in return.

Is it possible in this society to want people to do their best for you without giving real money?

Tina? Fei has served him for more than ten years, and the relationship of trust between the two is indeed extraordinary, in addition to the promotion of his position, Duke has never neglected the monetary reward.

"The rest continues to negotiate." Duke admonished, "Especially a couple of Disney projects. ”

Those are really special projects that Duke still can't figure out, Michael? What the hell was Eisner thinking, to start so many big productions.

In addition to these four, there are also "Alice in Wonderland" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and if it weren't for the previous support of the Film Fund Platter Program, Disney would definitely not have taken a huge risk to start these projects alone.

Hollywood has always liked to have people pay for their production costs, even if the money comes from Wall Street.

Today's Wall Street is in turmoil, and these film funds are not those large companies with a long history and strong strength, and their own ability to resist risks is average.

Two days later, Duke made an appointment with Relativity's Ryan? Kavalaug met at a clubhouse in Burbank.

"Let's put it that way, Mr. Kavalaug."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Duke went straight to the point, "How long has Relativity's headquarters in New York been besieged by investors?" How long has it been since you made a public appearance? ”

Like all investment funds, Relativity's investment in movies does not come from its own company or a few individuals.

"Relativity invests in high-quality projects!" Ryan? Kavalaug was also unrelenting, "If it weren't for that, with the eyes of director Rosenberg, it would not be possible to take a fancy to them, would it?" ”

"It's true that I think these projects have the potential to be profitable."

Changing to a more comfortable sitting position, Duke shook his finger at him, "Don't forget, the current economic situation is bad, few companies are willing to invest in the film industry, and now Hollywood is in a money shortage, major companies are shrinking their money to save money, and the six major companies have postponed and cut many projects this year......

After a slight pause, Duke added, "The North American economy may recover in the next two years, and Hollywood will return to its former prosperity, but can Relativity wait until then?" I'm sure it won't be long before you and your company get a court summons and those angry investors will tear you up. ”

This is a business negotiation, and Duke doesn't need to be polite when he speaks, "As far as I know, many of your investors are big names. ”

Ryan? Kavalaug opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Relativity needs a lot of money to get out of this mess," Duke tapped his chest, "I have enough cash to get you out of this mess right now!" ”

"Forty percent is too low!" Ryan? Kavalaug shook his head.

Duke stood up, "That's already a fair price, if you think about it, you can call Tina directly?" Miss Fei's phone. ”

Leaving Burbank, Duke drove to the Hollywood area, where an awards show awaited him tonight. (To be continued.) )
