hollywood entertainment mogul

On Friday, December 7, "Edward Scissorhands" was released in the United States. It received a box office of US$15.96 million in its first week, ranking first at the box office during the same period.

Johnny Depp, who plays Scissorhands, and the blonde beauty Winona Ryder are very popular, and newspapers are full of news about them.

In the past, when the media reported on the two of them, they always promoted that they were very much in love, a golden boy, a talented girl, a beautiful girl, etc., making the two the most popular celebrity couple in the entertainment industry.

After the movie was released, the media continued to hype the relationship between the two, with news saying that the two were experiencing a relationship crisis.

Last month, Depp's staff revealed to the media that Depp was planning to propose to Winona and the two would hold an engagement ceremony in December.

But then Winona's agent denied it, saying that they had not proposed marriage. The two were currently in a stable relationship and did not want to be disturbed by the outside world.

But not long after, the media broke the news that during the movie promotion period, the two of them interacted significantly less, and they were not as close as before. They were spreading shit everywhere, and it was very likely that they had broken up.

After this speculation came out, some media asked the agents of both parties for confirmation, but received no clear response.

The reaction of both parties was too dull, which aroused more speculation and discussion, believing that the relationship between the two would end tragically like the hero and heroine in "Edward Scissorhands".

However, as an insider, Duca knows one thing. The last time Depp proposed, Winona refused, hoping to calm down for a while before talking again, and then the relationship between the two parties entered a cooling-off period.

The movie promoters took the opportunity to hype up the relationship, claiming that the two received too much attention from the outside world and were under too much pressure when they were in love, and encountered a relationship crisis, just like in "Edward Scissorhands", where the hero and heroine were forced to break up under the pressure of the world.

The media made a lot of noise and regarded the relationship between the two as a business.

Keanu Reeves didn't fully understand the truth. He knew that Depp and Winona were having relationship problems, but he didn't know what the problem was, so he automatically assumed that a third party was involved.

Unsurprisingly, he assigned the title of 'third party' to Duka, who had both beauty and strength.

This is why he thinks Duka is a bad man.

Duca has always been too lazy to respond to such boring speculations. He is too busy. Firstly, he is sending a single to Shania, and secondly, he is looking for a publisher for "Reservoir Dogs".

The matter of releasing a single is not difficult to solve, as long as you have money.

Through River's relationship, he contacted the famous country music producer Tom Collins.

Tom Collins is 65 years old this year and is an old man in the music industry. He has served as the director of the music albums of famous country music singer Barbara Mandrell and "Long Hair Girl" Crystal Gale.

Producer.

Barbara Mandrell won the American Music Award for Favorite Female Country Vocalist six times in the 1980s.

‘Long Hair Girl’ Crystal Gale is also a star singer in country music.

Tom Collins is very capable in music production. After hearing "Yellow" sung by Shania and two other original pieces of music, he immediately agreed to serve as the music producer.

The role of a music producer is similar to that of a film producer. According to the singer's voice characteristics and music type, he matches appropriate accompaniment and harmony, and provides professional guidance to the singer during recording.

If a singer is like a jade in the rough, the producer is an artist who carves out the jade.

Tom Collins has an exclusive recording studio under his name. After getting the demo of "Yellow", he got into work mode and plans to officially record it after the year.

In the early stage, Duka only needs to provide 50,000 yuan in production funds. After the recording is successful, it will cost more money to record the record, promote it and release it.

The greater the publicity, the more expenditures will be made, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands or millions, depending on performance.

This method is also like an independent producer in the film industry. They record and distribute themselves and bear their own risks. The key to achieving good results is the quality of the music.

"Yellow" will become more popular more than ten years later. As for whether it will be accepted by the current market and audience, Duca is not sure.

After he was busy with music, he went on to work with movies.

After more than ten days of fine editing and editing, "Reservoir Dogs" was released, shortened from 105 minutes to 100 minutes.

Tarantino was not influenced by the outside world and cut out those bloody and violent scenes.

After watching it several times, he felt that the dialogue segments in the play were too long and wordy, so he deleted a few dialogue segments that had nothing to do with the main plot, and made some minor adjustments to the ending, but the changes were not major.

After the finished film came out, he invited Harvey to come to the company to watch the film and wanted to hear his opinions.

"Harvey, how do you feel?"

After the movie ended, Duka looked at the fat figure in the middle.

Harvey leaned on the chair, touched the stubble on his chin, and frowned slightly.

"Mr. Weinstein, you can say whatever you want, I won't care."

Quentin turned around and said, Harvey Weinstein is a famous producer, and Quentin takes his opinions seriously.

Harvey touched his round double chin again, "Director Tarantino, I must admit that you are a very talented director and you have made a good work."

"Haha~Thank you!"

Quentin grinned a little happily.

"This movie is novel, unique, refreshing, and one of the coolest movies I've seen in recent years."

Harvey continued to praise.

"That's a high praise, and it sounds like we succeeded."

Duca chuckled.

"Duka, I haven't finished my words yet. The novelty and uniqueness of the movie also means risks, and it means it is very niche. There are many bloody and thrilling scenes in the movie. It is difficult to be recognized by mainstream audiences after it is released. So its box office data

Not too high.”

"We have already prepared for this. "Reservoir Dogs" is our experimental work. As long as it has a good reputation, we will be successful. The box office performance is not very important."

Duka said nonchalantly.

"Hey, Duca, don't say that. The purpose of making movies is to make money. It would be better if the box office results are better. If there is a box office of 100 million, haha, if I get more than 100 million box office at a cost of more than one million, I will become famous overnight.

, wouldn’t that be cooler?”

Quentin spread his hands and said.

"One hundred million box office? You really dare to think that."

"Yes, this movie is too bloody and violent, and has no chance of being released on a large scale. It is impossible to get 100 million. Based on my experience, I predict that its North American box office results will be between 1 million and 2 million. If it works

If you do well, you can barely protect your capital."

Harvey Weinstein said.

"More than 1 million? So low?"

Quentin frowned. Just now, he had fantasized about making 100 million and becoming a dark horse at the box office, but in the blink of an eye, Harvey reduced his dream by 100 times.

"One million is quite a lot. There are about 600 movies produced in Hollywood every year, and less than half of the movies have a box office of more than 1 million.

You invested more than 1 million in this film, and you were able to break even on your first film. This is already very good, better than 99% of film companies and filmmakers, and I should congratulate you."

Harvey chuckled.

"Thanks!"

The first movie's breakeven was indeed not bad, but Duca heard that there was something in the fat man's words, and he felt that there was something more to come.
