"Okay, guys, I know you care about me, and I know you've done a lot for me, but ...... Don't worry, it'll be fine. Sean then said this, and gave them a high-five in the face.

Frankly speaking, there is also a lot of good news during this time, such as the TV script of "The Big Bang Theory" has been obtained by Reincarnation Pictures, which is a relatively clear TV series that Sean remembers much, so it began to attract attention in the middle of this year, and smoothly with Chuck, one of the creators? Lore reached an agreement.

This means that Samsara Pictures will continue to maintain an advantage in TV production with other production companies in the same class.

In addition, there is also good news from YouTube, after more than half a year of negotiations, the parent company of the five major TV stations has finally officially come forward, although it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to talk, but this is a good sign.

"In fact, what we really need are suppliers, so we were targeting them from the beginning." That's how Neil explains.

That's right, YouTube itself is a channel, or a new media, as long as there are enough high-quality programs, it is not difficult to pay for viewing and developing. However, in this way, the suppliers are very important, and if they band together to ask for a lot of shares, and leave if they can't get along, it will be a problem for YouTube.

"We can't act too anxious and make them feel profitable, you know, we are new media, and now give them a chance to enter new media, so we are the most valuable, and if they want to get on the first train, they have to give enough benefits." That's what Neil had planned.

As a new media, and it is also a new media that is developing very rapidly, it is impossible for several major media groups not to ignore it. However, since it is an old media group, it will inevitably be more difficult to immediately turn around and adapt to the new environment, so it is the best choice to cooperate with the existing new media and even incorporate it into the group.

It's just that, so far, as far as video sites are concerned, YouTube, the first crab-eating YouTube, with the support of Sean's funds, is undoubtedly the fastest and the most large-scale, so if they want to reach out to the new media early, they can't get around it, which is also where Neil's confidence and hole cards lie.

Therefore, constantly negotiating, constantly exchanging conditions, carefully covering your hole cards and then peeking at others, and then reaching an agreement in constant temptation and confrontation.

Therefore, although it is only a few major media groups behind the five major TV stations to stand up, it can indeed be regarded as a victory, and at this time, a little more thrust - in late November, driven by Samsara Pictures, several mid-range production companies, Lionsgate, Weinstein, AMC, etc., have reached an agreement with YouTube to start trial operation of the pay-per-demand business.

So far, the paid on-demand business has been quite smooth, although it has only been half a month, and it has not played a decisive role, but just looking at the booming state of affairs, you can know that time is on their side. As for Wall Street, since it's been so long, they still haven't responded, so it's better to trust Neil.

This is one aspect, as for the other, Alexander and Surie are both growing up healthy, and Surie caught a small cold in early December, and Katie, although not as attentive and patient as Naomi, is basically competent as a mother. Camilla and Haydn are still entangled with Sean, sometimes flamboyant and sometimes well-behaved, and his bold style makes him very useful.

It's just that "Blood is Coming" is a thorn in the thorn after all, whether it was "Genius Ripley" or "The Aviator", even if it was full of setbacks, he still tried his best to overcome it, in addition to his own efforts, he also had a lot of friends to help. However, on this side, it is facing the point where there is no place to use it.

In the final analysis, in the face of this kind of film copyright owner, independent film directors and producers, as long as they can convince each other, all problems will not be a problem. But Anderson has undoubtedly sentenced Sean to death in his heart now, and this kind of independent film director has always been self-centered, and Weinstein also said that he has a very bad temper, so naturally he will not agree anyway.

"Why don't we find a way to threaten him, you're a big man in Hollywood." Galen had proposed, of course, that it was a joke.

Sean is indeed a big shot in Hollywood, but there's more than one big guy in Hollywood, and there are many more bigger big guys. If he is the CEO of a media group, if he is the owner of a theater chain, if he is an investor, he can naturally use various ways to make him succumb, but unfortunately he is not. Of course, even now, he can create obstacles for Anderson through various connections and finally make him throw in the towel, but there are two problems.

First of all, as mentioned above, there are many big shots, and Anderson may not hug the thighs of other big guys, and in the eyes of most people, "Blood is Coming" is just a literary movie, they are not Sean, and without the intuition to perceive the future, they will inevitably feel that Sean is making a big fuss.

If they come forward and ask Sean to give them face, will Sean give it or not?

Then, the second question, and the more important one, even if he gives in, what if he doesn't cooperate during the shooting? As I said before, an independent filmmaker like Anderson values the power of his own production more than anything else, and if he is forced to shoot indiscriminately, who will bear the consequences?

Okay, you can change the director, but don't forget, one of the highlights of independent films is the director's style, can different directors shoot the same effect? Don't forget what Sean's purpose is, and don't forget, he worked hard to abandon a series of blockbuster films such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Fast and Furious" and "Batman Prequel" franchises to maintain commercial value, and at the same time look everywhere for the right literary role.

The audience may like or even be obsessed with Captain Sparrow, but the film school judges will not, and when they gave Depp a nomination in the first part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", they basically reached the limit.

Is this road really that hard? Sean couldn't help but sigh inwardly. What is obviously at your fingertips, but it slipped away because of an accident, and I am not reconciled. In addition, Zoe and Emily's affairs are still unresolved, and Natalie refuses to meet in the near future because of the previous incident, so naturally she can't get better, and now it seems that she can only hope for time.

"Look, it'll be fine in a few weeks." Sean said again at this time, barely squeezing out a smile.

Galen and they didn't have anything to say, so they came over and patted him on the shoulder in turn, and then a voice sounded: "What are the roles that are easy to win the Oscar for Best Actor, Sean?" ”

The voice came from the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window, and Frederick had been standing against the wall since he had come, thinking about the question with his chin propped up, until he had just said a question.

"What?" Sean didn't know what he was trying to say.

"I mean......" Frederick walked over slowly, staring into his eyes, "you want to hit the Oscars, but only 'Blood is Coming' can hit the Oscars?" ”

“…… What good scripts do you see? Sean is not stupid, he reacted in a few seconds, and immediately clenched his fists.

Frederick didn't answer, still staring at him with his eyes, and Sean continued knowingly: "Crazy, perverted, crazy, there is an inhuman side, you have to suffer and torture, but not too much. ”

Frederick still didn't speak, and Sean had to think about it again, and then snapped his fingers: "Well, there's gay ......"

At this point, he suddenly stopped, and then looked at his agent with wide eyes and amazement.

"That's right, gay." Frederick nodded and admitted, "I know that there is such a script, the director is also well-known, and it is also a gay biopic, and the age of the character is not young, which can give you an advantage, and you may even know something about the character, and it is very promising to make an impact on the Oscar, so ......"

He gestured twice and didn't continue, and then several pairs of eyes in the room turned to Sean.

"Tell me more." Sean groaned, then gritted his teeth.

"Okay," Frederick took a deep breath, "you grew up in San Francisco, you should have heard of Harvey?" The name Milk, right? ”

Harvey ...... Milk? Sean frowned and recalled carefully, "Some impressions, he seems to be ...... The first in ...... People who are openly gay in politics? ”

"That's right, Milk was born in the '30s, grew up in New York, knew about his gay identity early on, moved to San Francisco in the '70s, and went into politics to fight for the rights of gay teams, fight conservative groups, and was elected to the Fifth District of the Municipal Board of Management after the City of San Francisco changed its candidacy system for the Council in '77." Frederick said.

"And then at the end of '78 with the mayor Dan? White shoots," Sean continued, "and there is still an annual event commemorating him in San Francisco - is his story going to be adapted into a movie?" ”

"Yes, I have exact information, the other party has been in contact with many actors, and there is a lack of funds." Frederick nodded, a look of hesitation flashing across his face, as if there was something difficult to say.

"It's ...... It's a hard choice. Shaun, who grinned, hesitated, and he looked at his friends.

"I think you can try, Sean." Galen said.

"Do you want to see him kiss a man on screen? Mr. Tang might kill those who instigated his son. Neil immediately shouted.

"Mr. Tang is not averse to the gay team, and everyone knows it...... Sean is a guy. Galen retorted, "And he's got two children." ”

"Having children doesn't explain the problem, the media likes to make a big fuss." Neil was visibly raising the bar.

"Alright, you two," Sanders stopped them, then looked at Frederick, "Fred, you don't have anything to say." ”

Sean didn't notice, he did.

"Yes," Frederick didn't hide either, "the director and producer is Gus?" Fan? Sant. ”

“…… Damn it! Sean, who had been stunned for a few seconds, then shook his fist in annoyance.
