The distributor Universal can share the money from all aspects of the box office revenue, but it itself has been losing money year after year, after all, it takes tens of thousands of employees to maintain the global distribution network, and it is impossible not to remember that thieves are beaten when they eat meat, movies are high-risk industries, and in addition to losing money, the distributor has to bear the loss of hidden costs such as schedule waste, and a blockbuster film has to delay the huge loss for at least two years.

But if Universal itself is not profitable, it does not mean that the industries around it are not profitable, at least those production companies, insurance companies that have completed this guarantee, banks that provide financial services, consulting companies that provide film equipment, film, printing, box office and word-of-mouth research services, public relations companies that provide film critics, advertising companies and media that help with publicity, special effects companies that produce special effects, record companies that produce soundtracks, chain stores that sell merchandise and video tapes for sale and rental, and Universal Studios itself, which relies on tourism income. And so on and so forth......

This industry feeds a large number of peripheral companies, well-managed distribution companies, many of which are inextricably linked with the capital behind the issuing company, and profits naturally flow back to the capital through these channels. If the management is not good, such as Universal and Columbia Pictures of the book, it is cheap for professional managers, so as soon as Spielberg learned that his Jewish compatriots were going to join Universal, he hurriedly wanted to settle the settlement, and everyone knew that Simberg was about to be unable to cover the chain of interests under the water.

This is also the reason why Song Ya was ambitious to establish a global distribution channel when he first entered the record industry, and he didn't mention it at all in the past two years, it is useless to win a huge distribution company, and if he doesn't thoroughly penetrate into all aspects of the industry, he is waiting to be burdened with the burden of feeding tens of thousands of employees.

Let's honestly talk about the apocalypse and work steadily.

With 26 million in hand, Song Ya is in a good mood, the competition for the director position of the two projects in his hands has quietly begun, he is now a fragrant bun, and as soon as the news of his arrival in Los Angeles spread, he received a lot of invitations to dinner.

"Amy Adams is beautiful, but her acting skills are not enough, and her agent, Mr. Hayden, who is also your agent, refuses to accept other roles other than the heroine, so I can't make up my mind for ......the time being."

The first face is naturally given to Amy, of course, Amy will not appear at the same table as himself, he met the screenwriter and director, one of the few successful women in Hollywood, also called Amy's Amy Hecklin. She wrote and directed herself, and she had a great say in that project.

"If it's an art film, Amy can play a supporting role, but not a youth campus film."

Don't look at Hayden's submissiveness in front of him, he already has a certain majesty in front of others, and he directly extinguished the quid pro quo hinted by the other party, "Who are her competitors?" ”

"Alicia Silverstone, Catherine Heigel, Brettney Murphy......"

Hecklin reported a lot of girls' names, none of which were as famous as Amy, and Song Ya only had an impression of the most popular Alicia Silveston, who was famous for 'pushing her lover's bed' in '93, and seemed to be the flesh and blood of the rock band Smith Aero, and acted in a lot of music videos for that band's singles.

"Personally, I'd prefer you to be the director of the sequel to my life, Ms. Hecklin." Song Ya also hinted.

"Let me think again." The other party did not immediately agree.

Later, Stephen Gyllenhaal's wife, Naomifner, also met with him through Halle, in fact, her status in Hollywood is much higher than that of the director's husband, plus she is still Jewish, and her relationship with Yeremov is also good.

"Naomi takes good care of me."

While helping the producer say good things, Harley picked up a leaf in the salad with a fork, stuffed it into her mouth and tasted it slowly, her face was as if she was eating some kind of meal, this self-discipline would be perfect if she changed it to her fiancée......

Forget it, think ahead, "Thank you, Ms. Ferna, Harley and I are very good friends. Song Ya shook her head and shook off the messy thoughts.

"Hallie's acting is amazing, and I love your performances, dances, and songs that you've danced in my life."

The two sides flattered each other for a while, and the other's sincerity was much higher than that of Hecklin, but sure enough, Naomi hinted that he wanted his daughter Maggie Gyllenhaal to play the heroine of the sequel.

"I also heard about your cat and mouse game project, maybe my son can go and audition for the male lead?"

This family...... dragged the family and didn't miss any opportunity in Hollywood.

"Auditions? No problem, I'll just say hi to Hollywood Studios. ”

Song Ya doesn't know what her son and daughter look like, but judging from the appearance of her parents, she shouldn't be ugly, and it's an audition.

Then Stephen Gyllenhaal is an alternative to the director, but it needs to be limited in casting power.

He then went to see Adam Shankeman, the guy asked Anne Fletcher to help pull the relationship, Song Ya was perfunctory, Anne Fletcher didn't really want to help, she still wanted to be the director of the sequel, so she had left the Sankeman Dance Company in advance and flew solo, so she hid it from Adam Shankeman.

So now there are five directors who are candidates on the surface, two of which are acceptable to Universal and Song Ya, plus three escorts Adam Shankman, Zack Schneider and Anne Fletcher, of course, they don't know that they are out.

"Amperin Entertainment has a stake in Universal, and Spielberg will probably put more energy into DreamWorks, and his honeymoon period with Universal is almost over."

In terms of directing the cat-and-mouse game, Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, is pulling people around with a constantly improving script, and now he has a bit of eyebrows, David Fincher has read the script and likes it very much, he intends to direct, but he has to be busy with another project, Seven Deadly Sins, and he is only available in the second half of 95.

Song Ya was just as acceptable as Song Ya when he started filming later, and Linton, who was gloating about Spielberg's encounter, asked, "Is David Fincher the biggest director we can find?" ”

"Yes." Linton nodded, "None of the directors with higher coffee positions are interested, and we can't afford to pay for them." ”

"He only made Alien 3, and the box office was okay, but the reviews ......were not good," Song Ya asked worriedly, "Alien 3 is a special effects film, and the cat-and-mouse game is completely unnecessary, what is needed is the acting skills of the actors." ”

"I'm not in a hurry to decide for the time being, I will invite more people to try, but at the moment it's just him."

Linton said: "You know, he was born in the MV, at least in terms of camera expression, he has been involved in various industries in Hollywood, special effects, documentaries, etc., and he also has the ability to lead big productions." The Seven Deadly Sins he is filming starring are Blatter Pitt and Morgan Freeman, the production cost should be not small, it must be a film that focuses on actors' acting skills, and when the time comes, I will find a way to go to the Seven Deadly Sins crew to inquire about information. If that movie is good, then we will use him, but we must get the contract as soon as possible, so that he can take advantage of the results of the Seven Deadly Sins to increase the price. ”

"Intelligence work is really important, okay." Song Ya nodded, "What about the male protagonist?" ”

"Male protagonist, hehe......"

Linton took out a large pile of actor resumes and spread them on the table, "Look, all young and handsome boys, be careful not to drool APLUS." ”
