Chicago 1990
Chapter 908: No holiday
Harvey still holds part of the equity in Miramax he established. He is also the king of independent films. There is no doubt that Linton is stabilized within Disney. No matter how the box office revenue is settled, Miramax’s total share is He couldn't afford it, and Linton's Hollywood film industry was in a difficult situation at the time. No one can be sure whether the cat and mouse game project will succeed. He really helped Linton with the money.
This year's Oscars everyone has gained, and the mood is just right. Naturally, they chatted very speculatively and burst into laughter from time to time.
"Ovitz is the emperor of CAA and Eisner is the emperor of Disney. They can cooperate but cannot work together."
Harvey and Linton talked about the gossip of Disney’s senior executives, especially the dispute between Disney’s chairman and CEO Eisner and the subsidiary company Disney Pictures President Ovitz. Eisner didn’t let Katzenberg take over. Choosing a childhood friend, CAA founder Ovitz airborne, this directly led to Katzenberg's departure and went to create DreamWorks with Spielberg and David Geffen.
But Eisner regained all the power of Disney after recovering from heart bypass surgery. Both he and Ovitz had a strong personality, and soon turned back due to management differences.
Harvey gloated at this, "Eisner led the wolf into the room. Our merger with ABC is also a silly move. Now we have to use the profit of the film industry to subsidize the TV network. We spent nearly 20 billion going out, and we also cooperated with News Corporation and Via Cam was in the same quagmire."
The News Corporation behind Fox in the twentieth century was dragged down by the huge losses of its British Sky TV network. The same is true for Viacom behind Paramount. They are subject to successive years of losses by their audiovisual chain company Blockbuster. torment.
Otherwise, the 20th Century Fox and Paramount are both one of the seven, and the brave heart with a budget of 60 to 70 million would have to pool together the two.
"Disaccompany."
Song Ya noticed that Linton started talking in Harvey's ear and whispered, so he leaned to leave. Both of them have the opportunity to benefit from the infighting of their bosses. The content of the conversation should be inconvenient to listen to.
"Boss, here." Yeremov found him and took him to discuss the Blade Warrior project with Catherine and his wife. Then the soup agent sent Kingsley to join him.
Preparations for this project are in full swing. The hero, Harry Berry's heroine, Taraji plays the hero's mother, and then the Vampire Council elders in the villain role also have black actors, and the other villains are all white.
In addition to the set aside for Charis, Pakinsley also "blackmailed" a lot of casting and staff contracts, plus the martial arts and stunt double groups introduced by Bruce Lee's daughter, and the special effects team that Industrial Light and Magic has already started. The basic framework Already fixed.
"The budget will rise to 28 million, temporarily."
Catherine said: "It all depends on the director's dissatisfaction with the special effects. If it doesn't work, the production cost may be overrun." She joked to her husband, "You know, now that special effects blockbusters are all the rage, Hollywood special effects companies are simply grabbing money."
The project that was originally scheduled for 20 million will be over 30 million after a single pass. "Haha!" Her husband laughed, "Zack has a lot of ideas, and it might really be possible then."
Zach Schneider is a co-director, and he is finally out of his head. He hasn't come today, and he is monitoring the location and props of the Blade Warrior project day and night.
"M-Fxxk! This kid!"
We chatted happily here. Quincy Jones, who passed by in the distance, couldn’t help but blurted out. He just finished chatting with the Oscar organizing committee. Whether it’s the organizing committee, film critics, or TV audiences The award ceremony was very dissatisfied.
Everyone criticized the opening fashion show, and said that it was nondescript. The award ceremony of serious movies does not need to be mixed with fashion circles. He hasn't been able to throw the pot to the director of the awards ceremony, because the fashion show is exactly what he insists on, and only one white man among the five opening models is also his idea...
Tomorrow’s media is expected to be overwhelmed by criticism. Next year, the Oscar Committee should no longer invite itself to be a producer, although those people did not say clearly...
"Daddy, what does APLUS mean?"
When this kind of distress, the daughter still chases behind the **** and makes trouble. Rashida Jones asked: "Speaking of my sister's half-brothers and sisters, besides Little Jones III, do I have other half-sisters? Otherwise, APLUS won't say that!"
"APLUS?"
Of course, Quincy Jones and the white actress Natasha Kinski also have a young daughter named Kenya Jones, who is less than three years old and has been kept secret from the outside world. Natasha Kinski is still a famous guide Polans Ji’s ex-girlfriend was once known as the number one beauty in Europe, "He... what does he know!? Don't listen to that kid's nonsense."
Song Ya is really nonsense, just to fight princess disease casually, but he didn't expect to be right.
But Rashida Jones didn't believe it, he knew his father too well, "You have a ghost in your heart! Don't run! You can't get past me, old man!"
The next day, various entertainment media really stared at Quincy Jones and fired. Jeff Magris, the hapless director, was also scolded. Fortunately, this part of the public opinion had little influence because most of the front pages and covers were given. The big winner Mel Gibson.
For example, the Hollywood Reporter magazine, the cover is Mel Gibson's personal photo, and the headline feature picture is a snapshot of him and his brave team holding five statuettes and laughing brilliantly at the camera.
The second topic is a tribute to the paralyzed "Superman" Christopher Liffe, and the third topic is an analysis of the reason and emotion and why they are so frustrated.
The fourth topic is the Douglas and his son. His father Kirk is a veteran Hollywood movie star, film company owner, and producer. This year's Oscar won a lifetime achievement award. His eldest son, Michael Douglas, is the Oscar actor who flew over the lunatic asylum, Wall Street, instinct, and peachy secret. The youngest son Joel Douglas is a well-known Hollywood producer.
For the fifth topic, it was Johnny Carson’s turn to win the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay with APLUS. The tribute to Johnny Carson at the award ceremony and the historical entanglement of the original work of Johnny Carson and the cat and mouse game In the main part, there is also a special introduction for the male protagonist Jared Leto. APLUS became the first African-American Oscar and Grammy winner in history, and the box office transcripts of several movies produced by A+ Film Studio Was put to the end.
"How many cinema chains will there be in the Beimi Pai film of Cat Mouse Game next week?"
Song Ya put down the magazine indifferently, he only cared about money.
"Two hundred companies, and the brave heart has only risen to five hundred." Hayden replied: "Probably only a few hundred thousand dollars increase."
"Fine."
Song Ya curled her lips, "No matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat."
"Hey, it has a big boost to the global box office." Hayden smiled and looked at his watch. "Are you awake? We're going to go."
"I didn't drink much, so I went to chat with Jobs."
Song Ya put down the coffee cup. After talking with the Catherine and his wife yesterday, he met Pixar animation boss Jobs who came to congratulate Toy Story for winning the Special Achievement Award. This time they talked for a long time.
Because he didn’t mention Apple’s stock price stupidly anymore, and Jobs was very interested in the PalmOS operating system built by Palm founder Jeffrey Hawkins and the upcoming graphics chip of 3DFX, as well as the new trends of Netscape. He seemed to have everything. Understand, ask everything.
Amy, who was drinking coffee across the table, immediately went to get his coat and graciously helped the man put it on.
"Call." Song Ya hugged her and kissed.
"Ok."
Leaving the hotel where he was staying, Song Ya drove to the project set by Xue Linfen, on the way he called Dr. May, "May, when I mentioned 3DFX to Jobs last night, he said nothing. What kind of DRAM is expensive these days, what does it mean?"
"EDODRAM? Yes, memory manufacturers have insufficient output, market demand is strong, and prices have skyrocketed. Our VOODOO1 graphics card will use eight chips as video memory, a total of 4M." Dr. Mei replied: "We are working with graphics card manufacturers. Negotiations on the first price of the graphics card."
"So this is a problem for the graphics card manufacturer, right?"
Song Ya relaxed slightly, "We are only responsible for the graphics chip."
"But if VOODOO graphics cards are too expensive, it will also affect our chip shipments." Dr. Mei said.
"How much will the price be?" Song Ya asked.
"399 dollars."
"Oh..." Song Ya subconsciously thought it was not expensive, but it was not quite right to think about it, "Wait, 399 dollars? Wouldn't it be a hundred more expensive than Sony's PS game console... If you buy it home just to play games , Can PC gamers afford it?"
"More than that, our graphics cards have to cooperate with 2D graphics cards and high-end CPUs to achieve the best results. So we have to negotiate, and the trio is out of anger. At the meeting, all the graphics card manufacturers are threatened by playing in series in private. If they don’t lower the price, we will simply produce our own graphics cards in the future and we won’t take them to play."
Dr. May said: "But it seems difficult, after all, the cost of EDO memory is there, and graphics card manufacturers can't control it."
"It's April to speak. Tell the trio that they have the last two months left."
Song Ya has no choice. 3DFX has already raised nearly 20 million yuan, bank loans nearly 10 million yuan, playing semiconductor is really a bottomless pit, in any case, only wait for the first product to go public.
"Congratulations, Shinco Oscar for Best Screenplay."
The studio rented by Xue Linfen is very small, and the setting is the main scene in the movie: the heroine's home. She also lent her personal nanny car to the heroine Sandy Newton, the black actress who Song Ya had met once during the premiere of the night interview with the vampire.
Sandy Newton has a good relationship with Alvis Mitchell, the screenwriter and critic of a low-cost black film at A+ Studios.
"Thank you."
Song Ya hugged Xue Linfen who was teasing herself again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Are you working here? "He pointed to this very rudimentary producer's office, "In fact, the producer doesn't always have to stare at the set. "
"It's my first time to participate in a production project, and I want to save money as much as possible."
Xue Linfen really cherishes this opportunity, "I thought you would go home to live last night."
Come back home? Oh, she was referring to the ‘home’ in San Marino...
"Why don't you bring little Robb?" Song Ya was stunned, and she asked again: "I miss him."
"I don't want him to fly around with me. I can't stay in Los Angeles for another two days. Aunt Susie is taking care of her. Don't worry." Song Ya smiled and locked the office door.
"You have something else?" She let the man do it.
"Yes, I'll go to the Blade Warrior project team later." Song Ya lied. In fact, he had asked Linda to call Mila and took off the glasses on the bridge of her nose. "So hurry up. "
It’s great, no more holidays after the divorce!
