Chapter 793: Operation Blitz
Of course, while the business in TV series and games is getting stronger, Spectre Studios is a movie studio after all.
No, when the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is at an end and the global box office is about to exceed $1.2 billion, "The Grim Reaper", which is invested by Spectre Studios and directed by Chinese director James Wong, will also be released on Halloween on October 31, 2002.
To this end, Charlotte used her position in the industry to invite many celebrities to cheer.
For a lot of people, this is actually a bit strange -
After all, for the Ghost Party Studio, which often produces blockbusters and now has the reputation of "Produced by Ghosts, Must Be Boutique", a horror film of the scale of "Death is Coming" is really not a major project.
- In this case, Charlotte's unusual attention is a little puzzling.
However, this kind of confusion is limited to some people who don't know enough about the Ghost Party Studio.
Many film company executives understand that the reason why Charlotte attaches importance to this "Death is Coming" is not only because it is a film invested and produced by Ghost Party Studios.
More critically, this is also the first film released by Ghost Party Studios in North America.
- That's right, after six or seven years of existence and a lot of high-quality films, Spectre Studios has finally begun to make inroads into the field of film distribution.
Although for a long time, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Big Seven Hollywood, plus the funds in hand have more uses, Charlotte is not in a hurry to let the Ghost Party Studios develop into the field of film distribution.
But that doesn't mean he wasn't prepared for it.
-- Mr. Westwood has been keeping an eye on the small third-tier companies in Hollywood that have distribution channels.
- Even the time when he died of a sudden illness, and then became a ghost, and was extremely uncomfortable psychologically, he did not relax.
Charlotte and Mr. Westwood's plan was to find a suitable opportunity to buy two or three small third-tier companies with small distribution networks in one fell swoop, and then reorganize their own distribution network.
For this reason, the Ghost Party Studio has also hoarded some talents in the distribution field through recruitment and other methods in advance.
- "Always be ready" is more than just a slogan for Ghost Party Studios.
And now, the situation in Hollywood is changing, MGM, one of the original Hollywood Seven Giants, is about to fall, and the other six are busy fighting for the wreckage of MGM, and there is no time to think about it, and the Ghost Party Studio immediately seized the opportunity to complete the formation of its own North American distribution network.
The movie "Death is Coming" is the first test of the newly formed North American distribution network of Ghost Party Studios.
"MGM's fall really gave Charlotte a good chance!"
At the premiere of "Here Comes the Grim Reaper," Warner Bros.' David muttered in his heart.
In fact, among the Hollywood film and television companies, in addition to the seven in the past, the six in the present, although there are not many companies with a complete North American distribution network, they are not very rare.
In this era of globalization of Hollywood films, the distribution capabilities that the six pay more attention to are actually overseas distribution networks, rather than North American distribution networks.
After all, unlike filmmaking, which relies on talent and luck, the release of a movie is more of a game of money.
In particular, it is very difficult to set up an overseas distribution network without a large amount of money and sufficient talents.
In contrast, the distribution network in North America, because the North American film market is very mature, is relatively easy to set up.
- Of course, it is impossible not to have enough money.
In this case, the six major parties tacitly adopted the method of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and firmly grasped the line of overseas distribution network, which stuck other second- and third-tier film companies in Hollywood.
- No matter how good the film they make, as long as they want to go overseas to make a fortune in the global market, they will inevitably be exploited by the Big Six.
- The difference is only who is exploited.
For example, the DreamWorks company, which was jointly formed by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, was stuck in the overseas distribution network by the six Hollywood majors-
Although the reason why this film and television company, which has shouted that it wants to become a new first-line big company in Hollywood since its establishment, is becoming more and more difficult, it has a lot to do with the struggle for power and profit between the three giants within it.
However, being restricted by the six major and never being able to obtain independent internal strength for overseas issuance is still a fundamental factor.
After all, compared to internal chaos, DreamWorks is definitely not as good as Warner, which is known for its fierce internal struggles at the top.
But Warner is alive and well, even the most profitable company in Hollywood in recent years.
- This is enough to show the importance of overseas distribution networks.
However, for Charlotte's Ghost Party Studio, the Hollywood Big Six restricted methods are different from those for DreamWorks -
Who made this guy Charlotte too perverted and made almost every movie a box office hit?
Even Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, two of Hollywood's recognized masters of commercial films, have a record of mistakes, but Charlotte has never failed.
He has never even made a film that does not make money or lose money.
In this guy's dictionary, it seems that in addition to "success", there are only "big successes" and "super big successes".
- There was no "failure" anyway.
Once such a person has a complete film distribution network in his hands, what will it be!?
Therefore, on the one hand, the Big Hollywood Party members are very eager to cooperate with Charlotte to make movies, but on the other hand, they are worried that Charlotte will simply not take them to play after they have mastered the distribution network.
- Therefore, although they will not deliberately suppress the works of the Ghost Party Studio for the sake of money, they still do not want the Ghost Party Studio to have the ability to distribute it.
Fortunately, in the past few years, even though the Ghost Party studio has continued to grow, Charlotte has never reached out into the field of distribution.
This made the Hollywood Big Six gradually relax and feel that Charlotte may not be here.
However, now the Ghost Party Studios has taken advantage of the opportunity of the Big Six to carve up MGM and gain access to the North American distribution network in a near-blitzkrieg fashion, which has caught everyone off guard.
However, at this time, the wood was already in the boat, and they had no choice.
"It's all MGM's fault!"
David complained in his heart about MGM, which was being divided by them.
In fact, MGM, which was arguably one of Hollywood's leading bells, had already been demoralized several years ago because of several repeated changes of hands in the late 20th century.
As a result, the other Big Six have long been eyeing MGM.
However, MGM would fall so suddenly, but it was beyond everyone's expectations-
"Who would have thought that "The Wind Whisperer", a combination of the great director John Wu and the A-list star Nicolas Cage, could lose such a bird!"
David sighed in his heart,
"John Wu's pigeon magic has failed!"
