Chapter 636: The Deal in Hollywood (1)
Chris Swift's answer to reporters' questions set off a thousand waves for a while, and the media and Hollywood trade unions all set their sights on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
That's great! They're the best substitutes!
What advertising fees do nonprofit magazines cost? Are you seventy or eighty years old, and you are not retired yet? If we kill all those old guys, how many seats will have to be vacated in the academy, and how many people will get the damn right to vote! As long as you have the right to vote, those damn big guys will look up to you, and the film contract will be tendentious!
As long as the reform of the academy is promoted, Hollywood is the most courageous place in the world to correct its own mistakes! Don't you see that we have sent the big guys to the dustbin of history?
For a time, all the media and Hollywood practitioners pointed the finger at the film school, and everyone was discussing how the 66-year-old school could redeem itself. That's right, it's self-redemption, because the media thinks so, Hollywood people think so, so the American people also think so, they should redeem themselves!
Just as everyone was criticizing him, Jiang Peng immediately called Chris Swift, who was filming on the set, and ordered him to be interviewed by ESPN.
Chris, the, resolutely obeyed orders based on the principle that the greater the fame, the better, and the more prestige the better. After some preparation, Chris Swift, the national spotlight, finally went to ESPN for an exclusive interview at 9:30 p.m.
"According to our statistics, the members of the academy are indeed quite old, with 18% over 70 years old, 17% between 60 and 70 years old, and 24% over 50 years old."
"Yes, according to statistics, 26% of the Academy's members have completely left the film industry, but only 8% are engaged in film-related work. In other words, 18% of the members are no longer filmmakers, they have changed careers or are in a state of complete retirement. ”
The two hosts sang and explained the current situation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and then went to play a supporting role for Chris, the popular fried chicken.
"Chris, you're now the fair representative of Hollywood, did you want the old guys to get out of the academy at your morning press conference?"
After rehearsal, Chris reversed his usual hanging, and retorted solemnly: "No, no, that's not what it meant. I mean, those who have made outstanding contributions to Hollywood movies can be awarded the honor of life membership. ”
The moderator immediately asked, "Chris, you mean, give honor, but take back the right to vote, right?" ”
Chris Swift pointed at the host and laughed, "That's your opinion, but I agree!" If Hollywood wants to develop, it should give power to more creative and energetic young people, which is an objective need. Can we imagine that if our president was in his seventies, would America still be a great, dynamic America? We boss say that America is great because it always makes the most talented people stand out, regardless of your skin color or creed, which is the American dream of their newcomers! The reason why we in the United States are getting stronger and stronger is also because we in the United States can attract geniuses from all over the world to the freest and most democratic land in the world and realize their dreams! ”
……
Just such a star's interview instantly created a rating of more than 45% in the United States! Who made the American people too entertaining, and the topic of Hollywood/revolution was too hot?
……
The thief takes a bite and goes into the bone for three points!
This is the pain of Carl Molden, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Academy Awards, under the leadership of him and his predecessors, have become the most influential film awards in the world in 30 years, and when they are moving towards the most authoritative stage, they have pushed a into a corner.
No, the couldn't say those words, and behind him was the abominable yellow-skinned monkey! The whole American people know that the yellow-skinned monkey is the boss of the!
That yellow-skinned monkey is ruthless, advocating that magazines such as "United Performance Daily", "Premiere" and "Hollywood Reporter" cancel movie advertising, isn't this cutting off the college's financial resources with one slash?
Abolishing the tenure system is not forcing yourself to retire?
Without the tens of millions of advertising expenses that year and the lifelong system, can I take a high salary and generous public funds and comfortably retire in the college?
Carl Molden stayed in his cozy office, watching the glorious sunset outside the window with a splitting headache as hundreds of reporters gathered downstairs, waiting for his response.
First Vice President Frank Pearson also stood at the window, looking at the aged Carl Malden with reverence and some pity.
It was this old man and Mr. Conrad Nagil who turned the Oscar into the most influential film award in the world; It was also the two of them, united with those giants, who turned Hollywood into the most desirable place for filmmakers all over the world.
But his time was coming to an end. The elite who had discussed with him and Mr. Conrad Naggill how to extend Hollywood's influence to the rest of the world had long since gone to heaven.
After a long silence, Carl Molden looked at the sunset on the horizon and said lonely: "Frank, my time is over, and before I announce my resignation, you immediately start drafting a reform plan." Remember how we turned Hollywood's Oscars into the world's Oscars? ”
Frank Pearson adores: "Establish authority and follow the trend." ”
Carl Molden suddenly seemed to be a different person, and his whole body glowed with a strange light, "Yes, these are the two! Go ahead, arrange for me to meet with the leaders of the various trade unions, the light and shadow company relies on its own production advantages to force outstanding actors to sign long-term contracts, which damages the long-term interests of actors and violates the principle of fair competition. ”
Well? Frank was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "They also have an artist agency department, which excludes non-company contracted actors, and strictly destroys the principle of fair competition." ”
"Go ahead, don't show your mouth until you don't get a result."
"Understood"
Frank Pearson turned and walked out of the office, walked briskly to the downstairs of the office, and stopped on the steps. A few of his tall and sturdy men who followed him hurriedly walked in front of him and separated him from the reporters outside.
The impatient reporters who had been waiting in the courtyard immediately surrounded them and shouted, 'Frank, when is Carl coming down?' ’
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet".
Eager for news, the reporters fell silent and stared at the first vice president.
"Gentlemen, Mr. Carl Molden asked me to tell you that he was deeply touched by Chris Swift's interview with ESPN. He is thinking, after 66 years of development, what aspects of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are no longer suitable for this era of rapid development? Those outdated systems, how to reform? Let our Oscar become the most just and authoritative award for world cinema.
Gentlemen, this is a complex system project that touches every aspect of the film school, even every corner. ”
Carl Malden served the film school for nearly four decades, and his achievements are obvious to all. If he really wants to carry out reforms, he is the only one who has that prestige.
"Gentlemen, I know what else you want to know. Mr. Molden had decided that the day of his resignation would be when the reform of the College was completed. Gentlemen, let us firmly believe that the film school belongs to Hollywood, and to the people of the United States. Thank you! ”
……
'Bang', Sun Ziming turned off the TV with the remote control, and his fingers rubbed the stubble on his chin. Damn, I really underestimate the heroes of the world!
This Malden is not a mortal, he snatched back the initiative in a conversation and laughter, and he can also push his prestige to the top when he leaves. Bird, that old guy is in his eighties, how many years can he live? If you are old and do not die, you are a thief!
"Ming, let's go", Mary, who had already cleaned up, went to the living room to say hello to Sun Ziming, and drove home one after another. In China, it is much more comfortable to work as a domestic servant than in other places, taking the salary of a full-time domestic servant, but only doing part-time work.
"Brother Ming, I'm going out to play, and I'm not coming back at night", Lu Huiguang, who took a shower, also came to greet him with the car keys.
Armani, diamond stud earrings, Rolex watches, leather shoes are bright enough to be used as a mirror, and when you look at this guy's sassy appearance, you don't need to ask to know that you are going to spend time drinking.
"Get out!"
Lu Huiguang saw that Sun Ziming was still sitting on the sofa, staring at the turned off TV in a daze, and leaned over and smiled: "Brother Ming, why bother? There are so many beauties in the world, how good is it to be happy? ”
"Get out! Without Lao Tzu's desperate planning, we can live in this big house, can you make the Gold Club your home? ”
After a long time, Lu Huiguang did not regard Sun Ziming as an employer, but regarded him as his own boss, just like Guangzai at the beginning, without even a trace of respect.
"Cut, you just don't calculate, we can live in a big house, and I can also make the Gold Club home! left, and said that he was a cultural person, and he didn't even know how to have fun in time. ”
Everyone left, the manor was quiet, and Sun Tzu didn't figure it out for a long time.
The whole American people know that Chris's words are what they have to say. That old fox brought Oscar to such a high position, dug a pit himself, buried him, and forced him to get out, can he not fight back?
But where does he start? The light and shadow company does not ask for others, only others ask for their own share. As long as the light and shadow say which movie wants what actors, it is guaranteed that the company will receive a large amount of information, and the agents will also flock to it!
After thinking for a while, Sun Ziming, who couldn't figure it out, hung up a phone call to George, asked him to worry about it, pick up the car keys and prepare to go out. Ah Guang is right, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.
As soon as the inconspicuous Toyota Crown arrived at the gate, Sun Ziming wanted to grab a gun and burst the car across the road at the door. , don't let people live?
Sun Ziming, who was very unhappy, drove back and was so angry that he wanted to scold.
Just as they were about to go back to the house, they saw a forest of tulips in the moonlight, and suddenly remembered that they could walk from Tom. Damn, Guozhong will have to put a trolley in the future, this big night from others, people see it, I don't know what to think!
Went upstairs and took a bundle of cash, left the lights on, locked the door, and Sun Ziming took advantage of the moonlight like water to burrow into the dense woods. Fortunately, it was still spring, and the young leaves could not stop the bright moonlight, and the woods were full of silver light.
