Hollywood Director 1992

It took Link three days to complete the final work on Version Three.

He held a meeting with Daniel DeVito, Michael Leeson, Liu Xiaoli, and others to discuss how to promote and distribute the film.

Now that they had a company and funding, they no longer needed to beg and plead when distributing the film, or rush around for its release.

In addition, as "Buried"'s box office earnings continued to climb, his reputation in the industry grew, and the filming of this movie attracted a lot of attention, with many film companies willing to cooperate.

In this situation, "Paranormal Activity" had two choices: one was to have Guessing Game Pictures distribute it, and the other was to cooperate with a powerful film company.

The difference lay in the efficiency of distribution.

The most important aspects of distributing a film are publicity and channels.

Currently in Hollywood, the seven major film companies have the strongest distribution and publicity capabilities.

This is because the seven major film companies all have parent companies behind them, and these parent companies are mostly media groups.

For example, Paramount Pictures is backed by Viacom Media Group.

Warner Bros. Pictures is backed by Warner Group.

20th Century Fox is backed by News Corporation.

Universal Pictures is backed by Comcast Corporation.

Walt Disney has the Disney television channel.

Columbia-Samsung Pictures is backed by the Sony Corporation.

Except for MGM, the parent companies of the other six film companies own numerous media and publicity channels.

Including newspapers, radio stations, cable TV channels, television networks, or broadband networks, which are used to promote movies with greater intensity and efficiency.

This is also one of the reasons why the six major film companies are stronger than independent film companies.

They control film promotion and distribution channels, so even if their own film companies do not make money, they can still earn a lot of publicity fees each year by distributing films from independent film companies.

If "Paranormal Activity" is handed over to the seven major film companies for distribution, the distribution efficiency will be higher.

The disadvantage is that the production company will receive a smaller share of the box office revenue.

If Guessing Game Pictures distributes the film, he will need to spend a lot of dollars on publicity, which is almost the same as self-distribution.

The disadvantage is that the publicity and distribution efficiency will be lower.

The advantage is that after the film is released, he can get a larger share of the box office revenue.

The specific choice depends on the attitude of the seven major film companies, whether they are interested in this film, and whether they are sincere during negotiations.

"Michael, print out the basic information of the film and distribute it to the major film companies in Hollywood, telling them that our film is looking for a distributor, and interested film distribution companies can register to participate in the screening held at the company this weekend."

"Okay, boss!"

Michael Leeson went to make arrangements.

Link also called Liu Xiaoli, asking her to call Quentin Tarantino and Steven Soderbergh to inform them of the film screening time, and if they had time, they could come and watch.

He went home from work in the afternoon. Since returning from San Diego, he had been staying in the editing studio every day, without returning home once.

However, Monica Bellucci was temporarily living in the Golden Oak apartment, so after returning home, the house had some life in it.

"You're back."

Monica Bellucci walked out of the kitchen.

Wearing a cream-colored dress, with her long, wavy, brownish-black hair loose, she didn't seem to be wearing a bra.

The dress clung to her figure, her curves were smooth, and her pear-shaped buttocks looked textured under the thin dress.

Link put his arm around her waist and kissed her, his hand habitually moving slowly downwards.

"You lecherous fellow, you haven't showered for days, you smell."

Monica pushed his chest and couldn't help but pinch her nose with her fingers.

"Is it that exaggerated? I often shower in the editing room."

Link sniffed his armpits, there was no smell.

He was a genuine Chinese, and his sweat glands were relatively well-developed, so he wouldn't have any odor even if he didn't shower for seven days.

Monica Bellucci showered every day, and sometimes she would have body odor after strenuous exercise, but the perfume she used was relatively high-end, so the body odor would not be too obvious.

"There's a smell of smoke, sweat, and grease. Look at your hair, you can squeeze oil out of it, and you still say you shower every day?"

"There was a meeting at the company just now, someone was smoking, I must have picked up the smell of smoke. I'll ask Michael to free up a smoking room at the company tomorrow, and smoking will be prohibited in other areas except for the smoking room."

"You're the boss, you decide. Go take a shower first, the food will be ready soon."

Monica said, pressing his shoulders.

"You can cook?"

"I can order food. But I can also make spaghetti, seafood risotto, Milanese cold dishes, and fruit salads. If you want to eat them, I'll make them for you next time."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Link walked into the bathroom to take a shower. Because he was going to eat, he didn't lie in the bathtub to soak. He stood under the shower and washed with warm water, letting the warm water wash over his increasingly strong body.

"Monica?"

There is no wrong, one first, one hair, one content, one look!

"What?"

Monica responded from outside, holding a glass of red wine as she walked in, leaning against the door and looking at him with a smile.

"Handsome guy, nice body."

"Want to shower together?"

"No, I just did my makeup, I don't want to ruin it. I'll play around with you after dinner."

"You can just redo your makeup. When we were in San Diego, you didn't wear makeup every day, and I didn't dislike you."

"You're such an impatient guy!"

Monica couldn't resist his entanglement and could only follow his wishes, fooling around on the sink for a while.

Emerging from the bathroom, the two of them came to the dining room in bathrobes to eat a big meal.

In this triangular area of only six square miles in Beverly Hills, there are eight high-end restaurants that have appeared in the "Michelin Red Guide".

Four of them are on Rodeo Drive, two are on Beverly Drive, and there is also one on Wilshire Boulevard outside the Golden Oak apartment.

The restaurant is called Spago, specializing in French cuisine. The chef is Wolfgang Puck, who has been invited by the Academy Awards for three consecutive years to serve as the chef for the Oscar night.

The cooking is good, and the menu is also relatively rich, with dishes from the sea, land, and air.

Today, Monica probably wanted him to replenish his energy, so there were more meat dishes on the table.

There was charcoal-grilled steak, and the beef was snowflake beef from Hokkaido.

It was professionally seasoned before being made, grilled with apple wood and charcoal, and served with a special sauce. It was delicious and juicy in the mouth, with a strong beef and sauce flavor.

There was also braised abalone.

The abalone was red abalone from Southern California. The largest red abalone in the middle of the plate was more than ten centimeters long and weighed 600 grams, and the remaining six smaller ones were also over 200 grams.

This kind of abalone has tender and plump meat, and it is firm and chewy to eat.

The texture is as rich as Monica's.

There were also Maryland blue crab cakes, cream apple crumble desserts, Hawaiian fruit salad, etc., all of which tasted great.

"Link, this is specially ordered for you, eat more."

Monica smiled with her chin propped up, pointing to the plate of chilled lemon oysters, which are also known as raw oysters.

"You should also try them. Oysters nourish yin and yang, and can replenish moisture in the body."

Link and Monica shared five oysters.

After eating the big meal, a certain unit on his body was hot. He and Monica looked at each other, and at the same time got up and went into the bedroom.

Thanks to book friend 'Zhuang Xiaoxian' for the reward.
