After pinning Roland to the ground and blasting the hammer, the refreshed truck driver left humming a small tune.

If the plaid shirt on his body hadn't rotted into strips of cloth, his image might have been even more handsome.

Stepping on the accelerator, the roar exploded, and with his departure, Roland was not idle, holding the four scripts rubbed by the other party's hands, and he directly asked the bodyguard to send him to Spielberg's house.

Buy three get one free, forget it, the key people are still the No. 1 box office project in film history, plus Peter Parker, who will not lose money no matter how the movie is made, and now Roland, not to mention how happy he is.

watched so many movies in his previous life, and Roland also understood one thing: actors' acting skills are high and low, and the script is good and bad.

Projects with good scripts and bad acting skills may be high at the box office and receive a lot of complaints; But for projects with bad scripts and good acting skills, almost no actor can save them alone; The most typical is Nicolas Cage, who was sprayed as the king of bad movies, but few people will disses his performance in bad movies, and people will only feel sad that he is affected by the script.

In fact, the script is the real core of a movie, after all, no matter how the movie is made, it is also storytelling, and the director is the storyteller, who controls the actors and depicts the world in the story.

Roland has always felt that acting skills are very important, but they are far less important than the story told by the director, as long as the story is good enough, it can move the world, and what the actor does is to live a wonderful life in that world according to the director's requirements.

In Roland's memory, many people in later generations felt that it was a pity that Xiao Lizi did not win the actor with "Titanic", or rather, he did not even have a nomination, which is the most unfair embodiment.

But who knows, when the internal viewing meeting of "Titanic" was held, the people at Fox didn't know what Leonardo was playing there! He has nothing but handsome! The so-called love –

Isn't this special code just that two people fell in love once in the crew?

You must know that he played a mentally retarded role in "A Different Sky" before!

What Fox wants is the kind of acting skills that can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but what Leonardo brings to them is only the peerless beauty in ordinary romance films, the sweet love of home, and the astringent life to death!

And this kind of thing, just find a cream boy, you can play it!

Just like "Top Gun", play a handsome pickle girl!

The point is that the truck driver can't even make a romance movie, a movie with sugar, how can the male protagonist die!

But—

This is precisely the shock that the truck driver emphasized!

The story that is sweet to the bone will never be remembered!

Life is precious, but death is even more valuable!

Marilyn Monroe is like that, Michael Jackson is like that, and Paul Walker is even more typical!

Of course, that's not the point!

The focus is on Roland's fan base!

What is Roland's fan base?

Older couples of the same age, older sisters with purchasing power, and older married couples with families!

In this case, a fairytale love story is simply a stab in their death hole!

Peers are already in the age of fantasy, the older sister party with purchasing power is more emotional than the men, and the elderly married couple has tasted love, and when these target groups rush into the theater for Roland......

Lore!

As long as these people walk out of the theater crying, what project will Roland be unstable after that?

Compared with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, this story is indeed ethereal, but-

Who doesn't want romance to come?

It's true that the project is not popular with critics, or rather, the whole story is too childish for more male compatriots, but Roland doesn't care if the story is childish or not, because it is childish for others, but it is different for him!

The male compatriot encouraged his girlfriend to watch "Spider-Man" with him, and the female compatriot asked his boyfriend to accompany him to watch "Titanic".

Even if the female compatriots think that "Spider-Man" is not interesting, but the box office has contributed well!

And even if the male compatriots think "Titanic" is boring and don't know where the girlfriend's tears are, it doesn't matter!

"Spider-Man 2" makes the two of you hug each other and cry, isn't it over?

Right!

The main viewers of the "Spider-Man" trilogy are men, and the main viewers of "Titanic" are women!

But if you combine the two of them and watch Roland's movies, isn't it the whole world?

At that point, it doesn't matter what the critics want to say, it won't work!

Because against me, you are against the whole world!

Well, this phrase is not nonsense......

The Oscars in '98 were still the highest-rated ones.

Because there is "Titanic".

It doesn't matter if you don't like it, your wife likes it, your children like it, that's enough.

…………

And just when Roland was daydreaming of his own and ran to Spielberg's house, it was the old man's wife Kate Capshaw who received him, and after inviting him to sit down, the other party directly said where her husband was, "After Oscar, Steven was very busy, except for coming back for dinner on time every night, the rest of the time was outside." ”

"He wants to deal with the things on the Universal side first, and then go to clean up the things on Sony's side, not only that, but Warner also invites him to various dinner events every day, but he refuses."

"He's been in close contact with Jeffrey (Katzenberg) and David (Geffen) these days, and he knows that you might come to him, so he said to me, if you come with a script, put it in the safe where he put the script in his study, and he said you know what the password is, and there's a file in a brown bag with your name on it, and you can take it with you, that's your stuff, and the script...... He'll take the time to look at it, but he hasn't had time to interview you lately, so if there's any problem, it's all on George's birthday party on May 14th. ”

When Spielberg's wife mentions Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, how does Roland not know that the old man is already starting to put his dream factory to life? Although "The Lion King" has not yet been released, and Jeffrey Katzenberg will not be able to leave Disney for the time being, this does not prevent the big three from talking about things first!

After pondering all the rules and regulations thoroughly, after waiting for the box office of "The Lion King" to come out, you can give Di Mouse a backstab, the hottest animated film operator of the year and the historical record?

Don't you feel distressed? Isn't it uncomfortable?

Maybe it's because of their beautiful departure, so these guys were retaliated against by their peers on the first day they formed the company, plus the three of them fought separately and dug people crazy, and those giants hated them even more.

But unfortunately, even if Roland knew about these things, he couldn't change them.

As long as you mix in this circle, as long as you have the idea of climbing the peak, then these things are impossible to avoid, Roland has no way to change all this, and even if Ronald Perelman and Carl Icahn also join, it will only make the whole situation more chaotic, because there are so many cakes, you want to raise your knife and fork to get a piece of the pie, isn't that just stealing someone else's job? You've all punched me in the air, so I'm not allowed to slap you?

There is never anyone right or wrong in business, as long as you can have the last laugh, you are the most successful one.

With Roland's current size, he couldn't play this game.

However, he did what he had to do, whether it was the shares of Sony's publishing company, or the bunch of Marvel copyrights he got in his hands, or the IMDb that waited for the other party to finish writing Harry Potter and gave them time to develop......

These behaviors are all picking up the old bottom of those film companies!

Curb them in content! Make a hole in the channel! Plug in the new media!

Roland is not short of money now, what he lacks is only time, and with the old man here, he can spend the first Internet outlet with peace of mind.

Let the old man who is backed by Microsoft, Samsung, and Chase Bank fight them first!

In the previous life, there was no distribution channel, and I was pressed to the ground and beaten wildly, but now I ......

They have channels and content, but they really don't know who beat whom!

And when Roland entered the old man's study, opened the other party's safe, and stuffed the script into it, he also saw the file bag that the other party had left for him; The document wrapped in brown paper was neither thin nor thick, and Roland thought it was a document from Sony's distribution company, but when he opened it, he startled Roland.

what should have been in Fox's hands for the rights to "X-Men" and "Daredevil"; "Fantastic Four", which was bought by Constantine Pictures as early as '86; and "Namor" in the hands of Universal, that is, the king of horses in DC who wears the same corn as corn; and a bunch of miscellaneous rags of Marvel copyrights......

Roland counted carefully, as if the copyrights sold by Marvel were now in the old man's bag of documents.

Not only that, but there was also a half-note attached to it -

[Roland, the copyrights sold by Marvel are here.

Fox wants to exchange their copyright for your image license, if you want, the follow-up re-releases of the "Home Alone" series, radio broadcasts, all kinds of audio and video products and derivative products will all be divided according to 2.5 percent, of course, the new project they want to pull you to do can't be a two-year contract anymore;

It's the same with Universal, they want to agree with you on the follow-up to Jurassic Park;

As for Constantine's "Fantastic Four" and the rest of the copyrights, I bought them, and Sony now wants to increase the shares by 10% more, that is, the shares of the publishing company and half of us, in exchange for 75% of the investment rights in the "Spider-Man" series, as well as game distribution, they hope that the game studio under your name can only use them on one platform when making "Spider-Man" games, and if you agree, they can let people come to America with engineering machines to assist in development.

Personally, I think the idea of the three of them is fine, but if your game is included, I personally think that "Spider-Man" can offset my "Jurassic Park", plus the extra 25% of the investment rights of each one, our previous distribution plan is obviously not applicable, so I buy the Marvel copyright on the market and exchange it with you, so that you can eat all the copyrights sold by Marvel on the market, and I hope that the companies of the two of us will eventually hold half of the shares. 】

The old man didn't leave much text, but Roland read it three times in a row.

The more he looked, the more he was so excited ↗ ↘!

Hold the grass!

These film companies have learned well!

I know that I will take the mass line first!

That's right, when Roland saw the old man's message and the copyrights sent by various companies, Roland immediately remembered Forbes magazine in March, and the reports of major news media after that!

From the bright side, regardless of whether it is Forbes focusing on the business field, or the major news media that are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, they all blow Roland, the new A+list, to the sky, which is rare in the world, against those film company executives, it is not lagging behind, but these are just the little ninety-nine played by those film companies!

Looking at the news, Roland is indeed a cow.

But in reality?

It's just a bunch of giants frantically throwing the pot!

At the end of this year, Sony's PS game console will not only be launched, but also the 135-minute storage disc format developed by them and other technology companies will also be announced. Let's not talk about when this standard will be set, but the technology is in front of us, but it is true, in this way, the former videotapes will definitely be swept into the garbage heap of history by the progress of science and technology, and in this way, those classic movies will be released in the form of DVDs, it seems to be deserved!

Don't think that old movies can't be sold at a high price, as long as the film company releases CDs, it proves that the market has demand!

In this case, Roland's film may not be available on disc, or what if there are still restrictions on his future contract?

Let the world know!

Praise him first, show that his project is dominant in the circle, let those fans worship him because of it, and then come to negotiate a follow-up contract with him, if it can't be negotiated, the film company can directly dump the pot-

Why can other movies produce DCD, HD-DVD, but not Roland's?

Because he is too greedy and the asking price is too high!

If you fans want to see it, then you have to wait for Roland to relax!

Roland is not a fool, after tasting it twice, he understands why those guys before are crazy about themselves!

Isn't this just killing?

They want to copy all the existing copyrights at a low price, and from now on, they don't want to sign such a contract with him!

However, Roland has people, and they won't force it too hard, Roland likes to collect Marvel's copyrights, so use these millions of things in exchange! Universal took the copyright of "Namor" to keep "Jurassic Park", and Fox took "X-Men" + "Daredevil" to keep the "Home Alone" series and the "Big Ship" on the trucker to fool Roland......

Of course, the two and five points that should normally be taken will still be given!

It doesn't look like a loss!

After all, Roland's value has already been reflected, and the "Home Alone" series has made Fox at least 500 million! And the follow-up income of "Jurassic Park" is definitely not lower than that of the "Home Alone" series!

Moreover......

Superheroes are fans who rely on actors, and they don't plan to shoot them!

"Ginger is still old and spicy! These people are really full of tricks! ”

Roland, who understood, shook his head with a sigh, although surprised, but not dissatisfied.

Authorization will eventually be ceded.

Because only in this way can the benefits be maximized.

As for how much it costs?

Roland was able to talk about it before, but now......

The price they give is already very good!

"Namor isn't worth much, but X-Men and Daredevil are okay......"

"The whole line of two and five is divided, a lot, after all, the amount is large! On the side of "Jurassic Park", there is also Universal toy income and park income! ”

"As for Sony plus 10% more, this is the more the merrier, the game PS is also exclusive for a limited time, compared with "Warcraft", the ACT version of "Spider-Man", that is also a test of the waters."

"As for the issuance company's equity split evenly?"

"Whatever......"

"The old man has helped for so many years, and now he is so clear, he is already very face-saving."

Roland pulled a piece of paper, wrote down his thoughts directly, and threw them into the other party's safe.

On the surface, "Spider-Man" and "Jurassic Park" games are offset, and the old man uses all the bits and pieces of copyright on the market plus "Fantastic Four" to offset the 25% investment that the "Spider-Man" series has given to Sony, Roland suffers, but-

It doesn't matter!

Not to mention the distribution channel, Roland can't be tough on Sony alone, and there are really Microsoft, Samsung, and Chase behind the old man, let's just say that the old man helped him get "Terminator 2" just by virtue of a master-apprentice status, took him to shoot "Captain Hook", and unceremoniously changed "Jurassic Park", these three helps, are worth more than the investment amount of 25 per film!

Not only that, but the thing "Spider-Man" didn't the other party help to take it down?

If money could buy the opportunity to explode, the two losers of the Ellison family would have made it a long time ago!

Besides, Roland's next movies still have to ask for people, and why should the A+list and A-list match him?

Isn't it still the relationship, and the affection that the old man helped them with back then?

You asked Warner DC to invite Tom Hanks to play a supporting role that died in half a movie?

No one bothered to pay attention to you!

And if it was Ron Howard calling, people would really come to make a cameo, and they wouldn't take any money!

What's more, Roland and the old man have the same goal.

They want to be the biggest, and Roland wants to kill (__)(__)(__)!
