When Roland confirmed that his target was Disney, he was ready to develop Warcraft films and television on a large scale, but unfortunately, when he poached Evelyn Watson from Sony and asked her to form a company according to the standards of first-line film companies, he found that his Warcraft films and television still did not need to recruit.

Why?

Isn't that because Warcraft Films' current operating model is exactly the same as Time Warner?

Outsource! Outsource! Outsource!

Say the important thing three times!

The five pits opened by Warcraft Film and Television are all undertaken by the complete production team, and the location shooting locations are all over the world, in this case, there is no need for the entire company to transform and expand according to the operating model of Disney and Fox.

In this way, Evelyn Watson's job is actually to connect with each group and control the overall situation through feedback.

For example, now, after inspecting the crew of "The Princess Diaries" and finding that there are no unstable factors in it, she left the set with peace of mind and let Jon Landau monitor and control.

Then he went to Sony and asked about the release of Memory Fragments.

After learning that Sony would bring "Memory Fragments" to Cannes for the exhibition, the question of safeguarding the interests of the boss also followed-

"Although Cannes is the most commercially successful international A-category film festival, didn't the French Prime Minister issue a call this year for European cinema to unite against Hollywood?"

"After learning about France's attitude, other film companies have withdrawn their films from the exhibition, and in this case, isn't it humiliating for you to take "Fragments of Memory" to the exhibition?"

The questioning words made the leaders of Sony Global Distribution Company panic, and quickly explained: "Although "Fragments of Memory" is a Hollywood-funded film, the director Christopher Nolan is British, so when we declared, we modified the origin of the film and made it a US-British co-production. ”

"Co-production?"

As soon as she heard this, Evelyn Watson's voice became even higher-pitched, "Are you all fools to be a judge at Cannes?" ”

"They're going to not see what's going on in this?"

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw! Hurry up and withdraw the film for me! ”

"Change the film festival, change Venice!"

"Then show me, who are the judges in Venice this year?"

The neat instructions made Sony numb, although they wanted to complain, the company had already spent more than 300,000 on Cannes, but before these words reached their mouths, they swallowed them.

No way, who made Evelyn Watson represent Roland Allen?

And the top leader of Sony's North American headquarters has already informed them that they don't need to ask about projects related to Roland Allen, just do it.

Because even if you ask, the above has no right to care.

Under their rummaging, the jury lineup of this year's Venice Film Festival was also presented in front of Evelyn Watson.

"The president of the jury of this year's Venice Film Festival is Milos Forman, and the jury is Jennifer Lee, Shamila Makmarbaf, Giuseppe Bertolucci, Claude Chabrol ......"

When a person's name keeps coming out, Evelyn Watson, who is spinning her brain wildly, has extracted a lot of useful information, "Isn't Milos Foreman the director of "One Flew Over the Asylum"? Isn't Jennifer Lee's father Vic Morrow and mother Barbara Turner? Isn't Giuseppe Bertolucci Bernardo Bertolucci's younger brother? ”

"These judges are all their own people!"

"With them, what are you going to Cannes?"

"Go to Venice! Give "Memory Fragments" a prize! ”

Such words almost choked these people from Sony Global Distribution.

Although all awards rely on public relations, the question is, what company can kill like your boss?

We also know that Milos Forman has a very good relationship with the Jewish Gang, we also know that Jennifer Lee's parents have a very good relationship with the Jewish Gang, and we know that Giuseppe Bertolucci's brother has a very good relationship with the Jewish Gang, but ......

We don't know them well!

However, these are all difficult to say, because after saying it explicitly, there will be an illusion that the profession is compared to the amateur, so these guys nodded helplessly, and they should have done this difficult job.

Of course, they're not stupid.

"If we want to win the award, then we have to write Warcraft Film and Television in the column of the production company that sent the exhibition book."

This is to tell people that the whole movie is produced by Roland Allen.

Those who understand naturally understand, and those who don't understand......

They don't have the right to vote!

"Yes." Evelyn Watson knew the little calculations of these people, and nodded directly: "Just do it." ”

"Oh yes, the boss also ordered that the premiere of this movie must be held, and when the time comes, invite all those suspense masters, like David Fincher, David Lynch......"

After dealing with the production of "The Princess Diaries" and the promotion of "Memory Fragments", Evelyn Watson's day's work is actually over, and this is also the benefit of outsourcing.

Of course, the company that took a month off in the first half of the day is not so easy to open.

Because the foundation that sustains it is still the unparalleled influence.

Time Warner has been open for so many years, and the resource channels it has mastered are not comparable to those small companies, while Warcraft Film and Television has not been open for so many years, but the resource channels it has mastered can still crush all non-first-tier companies.

This success cannot be replicated, and this ease is eye-catching.

…………

And when the time came to April, Evelyn Watson, who had been resting at home for almost a month, also packed her bags and flew to New Zealand by plane, because "The Lord of the Rings 1", which had been filmed for more than seven months, had officially ended, and "The Lord of the Rings 2" was also launched at the same time.

Although all the post-production of the three-shot project of "The Lord of the Rings" will be completed in New Zealand, and there is no need to worry about the American contracting company, the face project still has to be done.

For example, condolences to the staff-

"Filming went well, right? Because I took over Warcraft Film and Television after the project started filming, I didn't have time to communicate with you. At the finale of "The Lord of the Rings 1", Evelyn Watson looked at everyone with a smile.

And her words also aroused a lot of complaints:

"Smooth? It's going well, if you break your teeth and ribs, you don't count. ”

"That's right! Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom insisted on not using a stand-in, and as a result, they both got injured! ”

"Viggo Mortensen had a tooth knocked out by an iron sword!"

"Orlando Bloom broke a rib while hanging Wia!"

Even though these accidents are tolerable accidents during the filming of major crews, Evelyn Watson still threw her surprise at Peter Jackson and asked: "Peter, didn't our crew sign a protective contract with the actors that must force the use of stand-ins for dangerous actions during filming?" ”

"You're all shooting in the wild, and if there's a big accident, it's too late to rescue."

Words similar to questioning made everyone present hurriedly mention Peter Jackson to explain.

"No, no, no, this is what we insist on." Viggo Mortensen said.

"Yes, it's none of the director's business." Orlando Bloom nodded in agreement.

"We wanted the images to be more realistic, so we didn't need a stand-in."

"Because he went into battle in person, the director could shoot more close-ups and show the thrills in the fight."

Although Evelyn Watson's words are not humane at all, and in her conversation, she does not treat those stand-ins who are engaged in dangerous work as people at all, but the problem is that no one at the scene thinks it is strange, because this is the norm in the circle!

The meaning of the existence of the stand-in is to help the leading actors from all walks of life do dangerous actions!

And why help them do dangerous moves?

That's not because stand-ins aren't worth much!

If a leading actor kneels during filming, then a series of problems such as inspection, compensation, restart, and reshooting will cause the capitalist to suffer heavy losses, but what if a stand-in kneels during filming?

Take the insurance and let the insurance company pay for it.

At that time, the media questioned the danger of filming at most, and then the producer stood up and said that he would definitely conduct a thorough investigation, and expressed his sorrow for the death of the stand-in, and finally opened the back-up man who was in charge of safety and props.

Compared with kneeling a starring role, kneeling a stand-in is the best choice with the lowest cost.

Although a lot of propaganda labels life as priceless, as long as people still need to survive, it has a price.

Therefore, after learning that the crew members were eager to pursue a better viewing effect, Evelyn Watson immediately shook her head and said: "I respect your choice, but I also hope that you can protect your own safety." ”

"Did the crew arrange a helicopter rescue team?"

"No?"

"Then this guarantee, the company will come out."

…………

After helping the "Lord of the Rings" crew contact the 24/7 all-weather rescue service, Evelyn Watson, who had a wave of affection in front of everyone, returned to Los Angeles to represent the company at the premiere of "Gladiator" on May 1.

Although she was not interested in this fictional Roman historical drama, she still watched the movie very seriously and gave a high evaluation - no way, who let this movie be invested and filmed by DreamWorks? And director Ridley Scott is about to accept the project "Black Hawk Down"!

That's right, although the project "Black Hawk Down" is under the full control of Sony, there is no Warcraft Film and Television in the production company's column, and there is only Arnold Schwarzenegger's name in the producer's column, but in fact, Sony doesn't care about anything other than paying for the venue.

Shoot as much as you want!

Don't beep with me!

Because even if you beep with me, I can't make a decision!

In this way, the whole project is actually equivalent to outsourcing, Sony is the nominal contractor, Warcraft Film and Television is the actual contractor, and the team led by Ridley Scott is the contractor.

In this case, isn't it obvious who is in control?

And after the release of "Gladiator", Evelyn Watson invited Ridley Scott to come out for a gathering on the grounds that she won nearly 35 million box office in the first weekend, and mentioned "Black Hawk Down" a little-

The old man, who had already guessed her thoughts, immediately smiled and said, "I have already studied that book." ”

"I know what you're trying to say."

"Rest assured, I won't do artistic reprocessing under the supervision of the Americ Department of Defense."

"Besides, your boss lady still has to call me uncle, I won't cheat my own people."

"Oh yes, since you made an appointment with me, then I'll talk to you."

"Originally, the start time of the movie was May 18, but after reviewing the training level of the actors and referring to the opinions of the consultants, I decided to give them an extra ten days of assembly drills, so the official start date was scheduled for the 28th."

Such words made Evelyn Watson laugh.

As long as Ridley Scott follows history and doesn't make a few random changes, then there is no problem.

Because their biggest goal is to make a war movie under the guidance of the American Ministry of Defense, what a medieval witch, an inexplicable phoenix, but don't show up.

…………

And shortly after "Black Hawk Down" was launched, on May 30, "X-Men" was also announced.

As with "The Lord of the Rings 1" before, on the day of the completion of "X-Men", Evelyn Watson also fulfilled her role as the spokesperson of Warcraft Film and Television, and went to the set in person to celebrate with the staff.

It's just that this series is not a continuous shooting, so after the celebration, the next day everyone went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, as for Kevin Feige, of course, it was buried in the studio with the director and editor, and tried to get the rough cut out within half a month, so that it could be lost to Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Domain, and Weta Digital, so that they could make special effects.

So far, among the six projects that Warcraft Film and Television are operating, "Memory Fragments" is in the publicity stage, "X-Men" and "The Lord of the Rings 1" are in post-production, "Black Hawk Down" and "The Princess Diaries" are in the filming stage, and "Harry Potter" is ...... Steven Spielberg had just finished filming "Artificial Intelligence" and needed a three-month break.

Therefore, "Harry Potter", which has been prepared, is scheduled to start in October.

As for why May plus March equals October?

That's because the old man said that since Roland is getting married, he will wait until his wedding is over.

Just a few days after filming, the whole group stopped work to attend the wedding, this kind of waste of resources, it's too shameful.

…………

And just when Evelyn Watson was gearing up to make a preliminary publicity plan for "X-Men" and "The Lord of the Rings 1", on June 1, Intel also low-key threw an acquisition offer to ATi.

Such an abrupt move has attracted the attention of the outside world, and everyone is wondering whether Intel wants to monopolize the CPU and GPU market at the same time as Microsoft, but before some experts can come to a conclusion, ATi decisively refused.

Such a vigorous performance made the market breathe a sigh of relief.

No one wants to see the birth of a Roman Empire that has squeezed its own living space.

But just when those small capitalists were lamenting that ATi still had backbone, on June 13, the Ontario Securities Commission summoned ATi's management to learn from them about the stock sell-off a few months ago.

This abnormal behavior made the hairs of the little capitals who had just relaxed flare up!

Because of this trick, they have seen!

Intel, it's a stud as soon as you get started!

It's a pity that even if their hairs stand on end like monkeys, they can't change the fact that Intel is attacking ATi, and when Intel uses long-arm jurisdiction to force ATi's shareholders to change their leaders, so that they can swallow the company, the recipients related to it are not looking forward to it at all, because on June 16, "Frozen Planet" was released.

The agreement between Blue Sky Studios and Fox is invalid.
