30 Chapter 30

Down's expression, Brian Lord, all looked in his eyes and smiled. "It's nothing. Sony bought Columbia Pictures for $ 3.4 billion, and Panasonic bought Universal Pictures for $ 6.6 billion. That's what CAA operates."

Tang En took a deep breath. "So a small company like Marvel Entertainment ... should be simple?"

Brian Loth was flat-hearted, but revealed his unquestionable confidence. "Of course!"

Tang En held a wine glass, shaking orange-yellow Liquid, "I look forward to working with CAA."

Brian Lord 's expression finally changed subtly and his smile was much thicker. "Given the mistakes CAA made this time, we are willing to serve you once for free, until Until the completion of the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment. "

Tang En raised his glass high," Thank you very much. "

Bill McNick breathed a sigh of relief, and the three laughed happily.

The next thing is the internal decision of Don and Brian Lord. It is likely to be dark, sloppy, and out of sight, and Bill McNick left with an excuse to leave.

Down was anxious, "Brian, what should I do next?"

Brian Lord made a down gesture. "Don, the reason Marvel Entertainment has a tough attitude now is not giving you a chance to negotiate at all. The main reason is that they still have fantasies about Marvel's superheroes and are very optimistic about the potential of Marvel Pictures. "

Tang En eyelids," So ... we have to break their thoughts! "

" That's right "

Brian Lord admires Tang's decisiveness and agility. It is hard to imagine that he is just a young man under the age of twenty." Now, the entire Marvel entertainment has set its sights on a super movie, This is the only big thing, the rest are small things. "

" Oh? Which movie? "Down seemed to understand what Brian Lord meant.

Brian Lord said, "Blade Warrior invested by Newline Pictures."

Tang En was not very impressed with this movie, but knew that "Sword Blade" had made several sequels, so it can be seen that the film should have a good box office and reputation.

At least there is no loss.

Brian Lord took out another document from his bag, which shows that his work is attentive and focused. "This film has been officially set up, and it will start filming on September 1. The budget will be about $ 45 million. Marvel Entertainment CEO Ala Arad and Chief Creative Officer Stan Lee are the producers. "

Tang En frowned slightly, and Marvel Entertainment's bosses were all personally producers. Value and hope.

Brian Lordon took a moment and then said, "In fact, the most important thing is that they invited the gold writer David Goyer in Hollywood. As long as the director Stephen Norrington doesn't mess up, the movie should have a good reputation. "

! Dunn clenched his fists," We must stop it, "

Brian Lord smiles:" of course, this work to me, give their movies create some trouble, not hard. "

Dunn Nodded, his face was cold. "Since the movie is about to start shooting, it is impossible to change the script, but it can create some difficulties in other aspects and increase their shooting costs."

Brian Lord waved his hand. Needless to say, please believe in the strength of CAA. However, to have a devastating blow to this film, it is best to do both. "

Tang En waved and sneered, "Since they are so confident in" Blade Warrior ", then they are going to hit the stage. I will prepare a movie and go against them!"

This idea was incompatible with Brian Lord. Together, "I have a few film sources, or ..."

"No need." Tang En rebuffed. He is not a CAA artist now, so there is no need to show his affection. "I just established Tang En Films. The first movie is necessary. "

Brian Lord shook his head." It's not easy to invest ... "

Tang En smiled." I'm a sole proprietor! "

" Huh? "Brian Lord changed his face and was surprised. Looking at him.

Use your own money to invest in movies? This is not a Hollywood game!

Tang En sees Brian Lord's bewilderment, secretly proud of himself: "How about? The famous gold broker can't figure out and can't figure out my mental routine?"

"Brian, I believe me The ability is as good as you believe in the strength of CAA. "

Tang En's words made Brian Lord laugh suddenly, stood up and shook hands with him," Well, let's break up and hope ... we can cooperate happily. "

" Of course, I also hope to put an end to past misunderstandings with our sincere cooperation. "

Tang En's face was sharp and his eyes sharp.

...

Thanks to the historical memories of filming "Titanic" and the study of reading during this time, Tang En is no longer poor in production and director. Through sunglasses, the professional attributes of "Town Walker" can be clearly detected. .

Among the five attributes of the director, palm mirror 15, plot design 9, image thinking 13, director 21, camera 7, among the remaining attributes, special effects 3, animation 0, color 8, art design 11, sub lens 10, dialogue 8 ...

Production in the five attributes, 1, the market is determined 52, 47 aesthetic literature, evaluation items 8, 14, writers' properties, the casting 33, the control field 62, marketing 57, rhythms 3, PR 39 ...

such data This surprises Tang En, especially the "market judgment" and "literature aesthetics" in the producer's attributes, which must be the accumulation of a large number of movies he has seen in his previous life.

Tang En is now looking for a new project to fight with Blade Warrior, the biggest reliance is definitely on the system existing in sunglasses.

Before setting up a project, you must first have an empire team ...

Tang En's current influence and reputation, let the brokerage company help, can form an excellent team. But Tang En hopes the team is loyal, reliable and capable.

Selecting talents naturally depends on the sunglasses system.

He first clicked on the "screenwriter" column, excluding dead and retired candidates, and ranked according to the numerical value, from high to low.

Tang En, wearing sunglasses, reached out and pointed in the void in front of him, looking very funny.

Soon, the candidates were selected, and Tang En was startled. There were too many screenwriters in Hollywood, right? More than 6,000 pages, more than 60,000 people?

A total of 7 "writers" with a score of 90 or more, the highest ranking is Dickon Whistler. The screenwriter ability: 99!

Tang En was a little bit enthusiastic. He opened Dickens Whistler's archives and found that he is now a non-writer in Hollywood. He is named in the screenwriters union and now works as the administrator of the University of California Library.

And his other ability options are very poor, production 0, market analysis 32, literary aesthetic 58 ... There is no possibility of being a producer.

In Hollywood, the number of screenwriters on the books is so huge that most people have trouble filling their stomachs, and the most fundamental reason is a shortage of skills.

If you want to start in Hollywood, if you do n't have a network, you must have a strong overall quality, be able to direct a show, be able to produce, or be able to act. Such a screenwriter can really enter Hollywood.

For the same script, the film company must choose a scriptwriter with strong comprehensive ability to write it!

But Tangn doesn't need it.

There is a specialization in the surgery industry, and you can do your job well.

The film company is difficult to tell which of the two screenwriters is more capable of writing stories, so it will choose the one with stronger comprehensive strength, but Tang En is different. He has sunglasses and can easily distinguish!

Since it is story-writing, it is good to have a strong story-writing ability. What can you do with the ability to direct and produce?

This is the biggest advantage that the sunglasses system brings to Tang En-to discover talents and see the pearl!

It's like a screenwriter wizard like Dickon Whistler. Because of his poor comprehensive ability, he is doomed to bury his life, but can be dug out of the soil by Tang En.

There was a pride that spread across Tang En's body.

On the option of screenwriter ability 95, Tang En found another guy named "Bryce Roach". His current job is a newspaper editor.

The next few have already made famous in Hollywood, such as Spielberg's royal screenwriter David Cap, such as the screenwriter Eric of "Gump of Forrest", "The Horse Whisperer" and many other films. Rose, and even famous directors Guy Richie, Woody Allen, and director of "The Shawshank Redemption" Frank Darabont.

These well-known personalities, Tang En, are not going to use it. To build a loyal royal team, they must send coal in the snow and dig in the loach.

It wasn't until the screenwriter's ability was 90 that Tang En found another suitable candidate—Nia Vadalas, a female screenwriter.

Similar to Dickon Whistler, the rest of the attributes are messy, and there is a slight talent for acting.

Tang En intends to build a core team initially, after the company develops, and then slowly grow its power, three screenwriters are enough for the time being.

Next, Tang chose "market judgement" in the screening of producers.

This is a very important item in the construction process of a movie project, which is to analyze whether the project and the script can be accepted by the fans and sold at the box office when facing the commercial market.

For example, "The Shawshank Redemption", director Frank Darabont's screenwriting ability is very good, with a rating of 92, but the "market judgment" ability is only 56 points, failed to meet the audience's taste, directly leading to the film box office failure.

The three screenwriters selected by Tang En have the best screenwriter capabilities, but the market judgment is poor.

But it doesn't matter, the surgery industry has a specialization, and Tang En will choose a few "market judges" who have very strong values ​​to provide opinions and improve the analysis.

Soon, Tang En found a man, Andrew O'Hare, with weak values ​​and 97 market judgment. He is now a vagrant.

"If this person is willing to join my team, he can become my chief market analyst in the future."

Tang En showed a satisfied snicker, and searched for the "literary aesthetics" column.

In contrast to "market judgment", "literature aesthetics" is aimed at the artistic sense of the movie and the reputation of the audience. It is an indispensable attribute for winning prizes.

Tang En found a "Manora Dargis" person, female, literary aesthetic 98, now working as an apprentice, is studying film art with Andrew Sarris, the film critic of the old-fashioned literary film, occasionally in the "Village "Sound" published a film review, sharp point of view, pioneering profound.

"Talent is definitely a talent! A must-have for Oscars, my chief art analyst!"

Tang En couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly felt that there was a feeling that the world's heroes had entered my door!

happy!
