American Fortune Life

"...um, ok, I see, thank you... Haha, it's not a secret, okay, I understand, I'll treat you to dinner another day. Well, goodbye."

With a smile on his face, Carl reached out to hang up the microphone, stood up, walked to the sofa in the rest area and sat down, and smiled at Andy, who was crossing his legs.

"The general content has been found out. The content of the negotiation is a cooperation agreement. The prerequisite is that Disney must first advance 325 million US dollars to DreamWorks, which is short of funds, to fill the funding gap of DreamWorks.

Starting next year, that is, in 2010, Disney will take care of the distribution and marketing of DreamWorks films. Disney will be responsible for distributing six DreamWorks films within a year. An 8% distribution commission is collected from the film's profits. And DreamWorks Animation each serve their masters.

In addition, if the negotiation is successful, Disney will also have the audiovisual products and TV distribution rights of the films produced by DreamWorks in all regions except Ah San.

That's the main content. Spielberg did not come forward to negotiate. David Geffen, one of the Big Three, has always approached. It seems that there are some differences because of which film company to cooperate with.

Spielberg has personal feelings for his old company, Universal Pictures, but after Universal Pictures rejected him earlier, he handed the matter over to David Geffen. "

"Ba ba ba—"

Andy tapped the wooden armrest of the sofa rhythmically with his fingers, frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, his eyes flickered and said: "The cooperation agreement can't satisfy my appetite, what I want is to make DreamWorks a subsidiary of Universal." company."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Spielberg and Snyder's team at DreamWorks is the most important creative force in the American film industry today. Even if we can successfully spend money to acquire DreamWorks, we may not be able to acquire Spielberg. Greg and Snyder were strapped firmly to the chariot.

It's better to control DreamWorks in the form of cooperation. Artists always like a high degree of autonomy. As long as it can help you make money, give it to them.

To be honest, I am not optimistic about the cooperation between DreamWorks and Disney. Many of the films they produce do not conform to Disney's family line that is suitable for all ages.

It is hard to imagine what would happen if such niche films as "Revolutionary Road" and "Tropic Thunder" were handed over to Disney for distribution.

The niche films and R-rated films that DreamWorks is good at are in line with Universal Pictures' route.

Spielberg is not difficult to convince. This time he and Snyder left Paramount and accepted financial support from Asan to reorganize DreamWorks. It was nothing more than greater autonomy and getting rid of Paramount’s internal strife , David Geffen is solely responsible for the split, but he will remain at Paramount.

It can be said that the Big Three of DreamWorks have completely broken up now. Spielberg is now like a wandering child. Although he really wants to be a businessman, he also has the cunning and greed of a businessman, but unfortunately he is not a complete businessman. "

"..." Listening to Carl's analysis, Andy frowned tightly. After pondering for a long time, he slowly opened his brows, looked at Carl and smiled: "It seems that the decision to push you to the front desk is very important. Right, you know Hollywood better and better."

"No way, since I have become your spokesperson in Hollywood, I naturally have to understand all aspects clearly, and if I don't work hard to keep up with you, I am afraid that one day you will no longer have my place by your side, and you won't even know when you cry Where are you going to cry, since you want to hold your big tui, you have to hold on to it, haha..."

Carl had a cheap face, and laughed happily. He knew better than anyone else how enchanting Andy's growth rate was. If he wanted to avoid being marginalized, he could only do the things Andy entrusted to him. more perfect, so he will spend a lot of time and energy on all aspects of Hollywood.

"You guy..." Andy shook his head and laughed. He was very satisfied with Carl's performance. He was not stingy with supporting Carl. He was most worried that Carl would not be able to keep up with his footsteps.

After all, he was his reliable partner when he was in his infancy.

"You have also read the materials of the three of them. If there are suitable Asian characters, leave them to them."

"I really admire you, this place is almost becoming your collection shelf..." Carl complained with a wry smile, "SonYeJin has great potential and should be able to gain a foothold in Hollywood. As for the other two, it's okay to play tricks , However, I think it’s better for them to focus on Korea... Don’t stare at me, this is not what I said, it’s what Maha said, and it’s not like you don’t know that the opportunities for Asian actors in Hollywood are inherently Not much, let alone an actress, unless you write the script yourself."

"Let's find some small roles for the time being." Andy was also a little helpless, the reality of Hollywood is like this, but what Carl said is right, if it doesn't work, just move the script by yourself.

"How did you find the crew of "Dolphin Bay"?"

"I screened out a few candidates. Louis Pishos, a photographer and documentary director who works for National Geographic magazine, is the best candidate. The underwater shooting technology is the top in the industry. I have contacted him and he is very interested in this. I am very interested in the project and will fly to Los Angeles in the next few days."

Andy nodded and reminded with a frown: "The foot basin people will not let the crew go to film the dolphin massacre, it will definitely be difficult, let everyone sign a non-disclosure agreement, before the filming is finished, absolutely no information will be leaked.

At that time, I will send a few security guards to accompany me for protection, and the foot basin people will definitely not issue a shooting permit, so I can only shoot 'illegally'. "

"Don't worry, they will figure out a way." Carl reassured, and then continued to ask: "What are you going to do about DreamWorks?"

"Ask Spielberg to come out and talk, and listen to what he has to say." Andy looked at the time on his watch, stood up and tugged at his suit, and said, "I'm going to take them to Universal Studios." Please take a look at the industry, and you send the script of "The Hangover" to Universal Pictures, so that Universal can form a crew as soon as possible."

"Okay." Carl nodded in agreement, and followed Andy out of the office.

Andy nodded and smiled and rushed to the staff who greeted him, came to the lounge of the three of Sun Yezhen and the others, knocked on the door, walked in and saw the three girls who were sitting chatting with the manager and said with a smile: "Okay, We should go, let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."

After Son Yejin, Han Chaeyoung and Han Jiaren stood up and hugged their manager Mahathir close to each other, they left the new power agency with Andy.

In the carriage, Andy put his arms around Han Jiaren's slender waist, leaned lazily on the car seat, and said with a smile, "The news should have been sent back to Korea, right?"

Han Chaeyoung smiled and said with narrowed eyes: "It has been spread on the Internet. There are rumors about Hallyu entering Hollywood, the endorsement of oriental faces, and so on. Yejin's popularity has exploded, and news of her participation in Hollywood movies is everywhere. "

"Haha." Andy naturally knew the piss and pride of the sticks. Although it was ridiculous, it had a huge role in promoting the status and fame of Son Yejin, Han Jiaren and Han Caiying in Korea.

"It's just a small supporting role." Sun Yizhen smiled like a moon, stretched out her hand to stroke her hair, and said softly.

"Hehe, there will be opportunities in the future." Andy smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap Han Jiaren's shoulders, which was blushing and shy, into his arms, caressing her arm, and said while looking at Han Caiying.

Son Ye-jin replaced the role of the hair-doing Christmas deer in the movie "Extraordinary", and Andy also specifically asked not to cut her part, I believe that the 10-minute part can still be guaranteed.

In the headquarters of Universal Pictures, Andy took the three daughters under the leadership of President Adam Ferguson to conduct the first inspection after taking over. As one of the largest producers of film and television studios in the world and one of the oldest companies in Hollywood, Universal Pictures, there are really too many things to watch.
