Resource Tycoon Reborn

New Line Cinema is a leading production and distribution company founded in 1967. At that time, its main business was to distribute European and local low-cost horror films to American colleges and universities. This is why it later invested in "Death".

This is an important reason why we have a special liking for shooting horror films such as "Come Here". Since the establishment of New Line Cinema, it took almost more than ten years before it entered the production industry and began to invest in the production of low-cost horror films. However,

The box office performance of the film has always been unsatisfactory, and there is no masterpiece that can succeed!

New Line Cinema really achieved development in the early 1990s when it purchased the Hong Kong Golden Harvest film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from Fox, which it did not dare to distribute in the United States. However, it unexpectedly became a huge success.

, since then, New Line Cinema has become the largest film distribution company with widespread influence in the United States. In 1994, Time Warner acquired New Line Cinema.

In the president's office on the top floor of New Line Cinema's office building, President Seinov Krusli Albak was handling the company's affairs. But at this time, he seemed a little careless, shaking his head from time to time.

, crossed out the writing on the paper and wrote again.

Seinoff was the original president of New Line Cinema before it was acquired by Time Warner. After New Line Cinema was acquired, he still controlled the company's shares after Time Warner, making him the second largest shareholder of New Line Cinema.

shareholder, which is why he still serves as the president of New Line Cinema and enjoys the company's independent management rights! The other important reasons why Time Warner's other film companies cannot interfere with him at all.

But Seinov also understands that he still serves as the president of New Line Cinema and enjoys the company's independent management rights. This is just the result of the game between the two parties. In order to better annex New Line Cinema, Time Warner instead

If you only get a body, you can't just accept a tough attitude. It is for this purpose that you arrange to continue to serve as the president of New Line Cinema!

And once New Line Cinema's performance declines significantly, or when Time Warner feels that it has been able to firmly control New Line Cinema, that is when it, the president of the company, will step down!

Therefore, in order for him to continue to sit firmly in this position, he must use his performance to tell Time Warner's board of directors that he! Sheinov continues to sit in this position and lead New Line Cinema, which is in line with the times.

The interests of the directors on Warner's board of directors! It can maximize their interests! And removing Seinov will harm their interests! Only in this way can he continue to control New Line Cinema!

In order to achieve this goal, Seinov decided to make a masterpiece that is famous among magic fans around the world - "The Lord of the Rings"!

The film adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings" were sold long before the author Tolkien was alive. Tolkien once publicly expressed doubts about whether he could successfully film this story with a large structure and complex plot. The "Lord of the Rings"

The film adaptation rights passed through the hands of different people and companies over the next few decades, eventually being owned by New Line Cinema before being acquired by Time Warner.

The reason why "The Lord of the Rings" has not been filmed for such a long time! This is mainly because it is a movie that is recognized to be very difficult to make! The book "The Lord of the Rings" is majestic and involves many characters

, the area it spans is not only vast but also diverse. Various plots emerge in endlessly! If it were completely based on the novel, even if each episode was an extended version - nearly five hours, I'm afraid it would not be possible to cover it in the trilogy.

It's filmed!

More importantly, no one will watch a movie like a novel. The movie must maintain a reasonable rhythm in just a few hours. Otherwise, the audience will feel bored and uninterested. So, how to make such a movie

Adapting a large novel into a movie script has become a head-scratching thing!

Moreover, in order to perfectly express the grand Middle-earth world in "The Lord of the Rings", as well as the races with their own characteristics, as well as several extraordinary war scenes, the film shooting technology at that time was still very advanced.

It’s difficult to do, and the money required to shoot it is prohibitive for many people!

Therefore, this magical novel, which can be called an epic level in the Western world, has always been confined to books!

When Seinov made the decision to purchase the film adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings", he actually already had plans to film it. However, Time Warner's acquisition of New Line Cinema disrupted his original plan. Now everything has

After the dust settled, in order to consolidate his position in the company, he decided to put the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" on the agenda again!

For "The Lord of the Rings", Seinov planned to raise 300 million US dollars for filming, with an average budget of 100 million US dollars for each film, and this does not include the later promotion costs! Such a budget, even in 1998

, is also quite impressive. Not every film company can have this courage!

But here comes the problem. Funds can be raised by selling everything, but the screenwriter and director made Seinov very troubled!

Of course, Seinov hopes to hire a world-class director. In this case, this investment of up to 300 million US dollars can also be a little more safe! In recent years, Hollywood's high-budget and big-budget movies have failed

There are also many people in Waterloo! If New Line Cinema cannot even recoup the cost of 300 million US dollars, Seinov will have no choice but to resign!

Nowadays, the most popular director in Hollywood is naturally none other than Cameron James. A film (Titanic) that swept the box office of billions of dollars around the world made him both famous and wealthy! Now it is basically certain that for "Titan"

"Titanic" has already received fourteen Oscar nominations, tying the record of more than forty years held by the 1950 film "Titanic". And it is generally accepted that "Titanic"

" will be the biggest winner at the Oscars in 1998. The only thing that needs attention is how many awards it can win!

But... Cameron has announced that he will once again be famous in the world. He is also the most mysterious and never appears in front of the media. Even the Oscar Award will be accepted by Cameron or Yu Qiuxia, chairman of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group.

The screenwriter "Fang" is cooperating to shoot an unprecedented new film, and it is said to be a trilogy! It is certain that in the past year or two, there is no need to count on him at all!

From Cameron, he thought of "Fang", this mysterious screenwriter who is definitely Chinese, but his current achievements are enough to make screenwriters in the film industry all over the world go crazy! So far,

His works have been co-operated with many Hollywood film companies, and none of his works have lost money. They have achieved remarkable success in Hong Kong, the United States, and even the world! He has many fans all over the world!

If "The Lord of the Rings" can get his joining and he serves as the screenwriter... the success of "The Lord of the Rings" will undoubtedly be even higher!

But this "Fang" has a habit. All his works, whether they are produced by Hollywood or local film companies in Hong Kong, must cooperate with the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, and the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group usually requires

Occupying a controlling position. For this habit of his, Seinov both hates and loves it. Fortunately, in this way, only half of the $300 million budget pressure is left. For New Line Cinema's finances, this is natural

This is a good thing; but on the other hand, this also means that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group will also take half of the huge profits in the future!

So far, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has not lost money on any of its co-produced films!

After several considerations, Seinov finally decided to strive to cooperate with "Fang"! At least this is also a guarantee for the future box office of "The Lord of the Rings"!

New Line Cinema first contacted Cameron, who was preparing a new film, through various channels and expressed their desire to have a new cooperation with "Fang". It's not that they can't contact Kumho Film Group, but thank you

Inov feels that although New Line Cinema has been established for 30 years, there are really few masterpieces that can be said to be successful! There are no world-renowned directors and actors in the company! It is directly connected with Hong Kong Kumho Film

Group contact is likely to be ignored by the other party! After all, so far, the influence of the Hollywood film companies that can cooperate with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group in the American film industry is not comparable to that of New Line Film Company!

Just five days ago, Seinov personally visited Cameron James, and the exchange between the two parties was very friendly. Cameron expressed his regret that he did not have time to participate in the filming of "The Lord of the Rings"

. Moreover, Cameron greatly appreciated Seinov's idea of ​​inviting "Fang" to be the screenwriter for "The Lord of the Rings" and assured Seinov that "Fang's" work would definitely make him feel

Satisfied! Cameron also specifically mentioned that if New Line Cinema really plans to use "Fang" as the screenwriter, then it must give him enough confidence and power. In all aspects of making the film, as long as he publishes

Opinions must be carefully considered! Because this is Cameron’s own personal experience!

Cameron's appreciation and guarantee undoubtedly gave Seinov a little more confidence in "Fang" whom he had never met before!

Although telephones and faxes have become very convenient in modern society, in order to show sincerity and respect, Seinov still chose to send a request to Fang Mingyuan through a formal letter through Cameron, requesting a meeting for a detailed discussion!

Counting the time, the letter should have arrived in "Fang"'s hands. Now...it's just a matter of waiting!

Waiting for the response from "Fang" from China!
