Barry Meyer is indeed a little frustrated, because this time he almost occupied all the opportunities, and finally missed Hugo's work.

Although Hugo still has not completed the adaptation of the script, in Barry's view, the North American box office guaranteed revenue of this work is 150 million - even the North American box office of "Death Row" reached 8,300. Wan, this time Hugo wrote a biography of John Nash, which is bound to cause a greater sensation. Even if the quality of the finished product is not satisfactory, relying on the golden sign of Hugo is enough to attract the audience crazy into the cinema.

What's more, Barry himself had read the biography "The Beautiful Mind" written by Silvia Nassar, and he immediately thought of Hugo. Like Allen, Barry also knew "Death Row". How far-reaching the impact of the events during the filming is, to this day, whenever people mention the unreliable behavior of the uncrowned king, Michael Jackson's "children's case" and Hugo's "psychiatric case" have become negative teaching materials. A typical case. This time, Hugo's adaptation of John Nash's biography is obviously not just casual talk.

Barry understood Hugo's real thoughts at once, and he and Allen's thoughts were synchronized. Therefore, Barry can be 100% sure that the market effect of this work is simply incalculable. This is definitely a business that makes a profit without losing money.

Therefore, the cooperation of "Beautiful Mind" is Barry's ambition to win, but now he has lost his hand to DreamWorks. Even if Barry knew that between DreamWorks and Warner Bros., Hugo would definitely choose the former, but Barry still couldn't calm down the depression and anger in his heart.

He clenched his fists and closed his eyes on the sofa chair for a while, but the restlessness in his heart still couldn't calm down. Barry opened his eyes and picked up the telephone receiver, pressed the secretary's call button, and quickly confessed, "Help me Make an appointment for the golf course at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and the relevant meetings tomorrow morning will temporarily move to the afternoon."

After the explanation, Barry really calmed down.

What really made Barry angry is not just the miss of the "beautiful mind"-the profitability of this work is important to Warner Bros., but it has not yet reached the point of survival; more because of Hugo and DreamWorks. Cooperation, which means too much.

Hugo did not choose Sony Columbia Pictures, which is spending big money, nor the sincere Warner Bros., but the ambitious DreamWorks. This incident itself has hinted too many things.

What's more, although Barry did not find out the specific cost budget of "Beautiful Mind", DreamWorks has been moving frequently recently, and the company's internal mobile funds are certainly not much. Not long ago, "Saving Private Ryan" was the first work officially released after the establishment of the DreamWorks publishing department. It was a huge success, but so far, the proceeds of "Saving Private Ryan" have not yet arrived, making DreamWorks It must be stretched within a short period of time. Therefore, the budget of "Beautiful Mind" cannot exceed the 80 million U.S. dollars proposed by Warner Bros., and he suspects that it is even less than 50 million U.S. dollars.

This small detail can be seen. Hugo's choice to cooperate with DreamWorks is more of a strategic move. This is also another step that DreamWorks has taken to declare its strong presence to Hollywood after the establishment of the publishing department, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Prince of Egypt", and it is a crucial step.

In other words, DreamWorks will then have an impact on the film industry-and in the context of the current turmoil in the entire film market, DreamWorks' lethality has soared. However, as Warner Bros. as a top predator, the impact of DreamWorks must be limited. For Barry, he is more concerned about the troika of Hugo and DreamWorks, which can almost be said to cover half of Hollywood. For the future Warner Bros. every move is bound to have an impact.

Therefore, missing the "beautiful mind" made Barry so angry. Otherwise, with Barry’s high-level cultivation and wisdom for many years, the miss of a work does not need to go to war-even Hugo does not need to be so angry.

After calming down, Barry started to organize his thoughts again. He knew that the cooperation between DreamWorks and Hugo could definitely be called a combination of two swords.

Before that, everyone was still waiting and watching-wondering what kind of changes Hugo could bring after moving into DreamWorks, but before the "beautiful mind", people's attitudes were relatively conservative, because in addition to "saving private Ryan "In addition, in the past year, it has been difficult for DreamWorks to produce topical works. After Hugo moved into DreamWorks, he almost disappeared, making it difficult to detect Hugo's influence on DreamWorks.

But now, everything has changed. Hugo not only began to exert strength, but also full of confidence. Next, the influence of DreamWorks is bound to rise steadily along with the advancement of time. Barry needs to re-adjust his strategy toward DreamWorks. Of course, Steven Spielberg and Hugo Lancaster are still the number one objects worthy of cooperation.

Compared to Barry Meyer, Mark Canton’s reaction was much more direct. He called Hugo and expressed his regret strongly, “Hugo, I think we can really cooperate this time. Yes." Hugo couldn't help feeling a little guilty just by saying.

The last time Hugo cooperated with Sony Columbia Pictures was "Night Sleep in Seattle". Later, because of the fight between "Life and Death Hour" and "Wolf", Hugo made some unpleasant events. Since then, Hugo has completely missed Sony Columbia Pictures. Cooperated. Mark has worked tirelessly over the years, so close to Hugo, but so far away.

Even businessmen whose interests are paramount, inevitably owe a debt of favor. What's more, Hugo's impression of Mark has changed a lot. At the 1994 Los Angeles World Cup final, Hugo and Mark were not happy getting along, but afterwards, Mark's hard work, friendliness and calmness have successfully changed Hugo's views.

"Next time, I will give priority to your company for the next work." Hugo can only express his apologies with a helpless look.

Missed the "beautiful mind", but won Hugo's favor and guilt. Who can say that Mark is really an "inexperienced impulse"? In this confrontation, only the parties know which one wins and which one loses.

Soon after, Sony Columbia Pictures officially announced that it was cooperating with Endeavour Elite Agency to shoot "Patriot." -Crow is the role, and the heroine is handed over to Sandra Bullock. In addition, Heath Ledger and Alexander Lorraine will also play.

In addition, they also signed several works cooperation agreements with DreamWorks including "Almost Fame" and "Bald Savior (An....

At the same time, Twentieth Century Fox and Disney, which have always been invisible, have also begun to implement their plans in an orderly manner.

Twentieth Century Fox not only cooperated with DreamWorks on the "Desert Island", the two sides also signed a cooperation agreement on five works including "What...beneath" and "Return to Glory", and it has become Universal Pictures in one fell swoop. In addition, Universal Pictures, the film company that cooperates most closely with DreamWorks, relies on the personal relationship between Ron Meyer and Steven, while Twentieth Century Fox relies on a keen sense of smell and real deals.

Disney did not show any weakness. They worked with Endeavour Elite Agency to develop "The Inside Story (The., "Three Kings of Prison Escape (o., where. Art., and "Remember. The." and other works, which makes Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company truly become the fourth brokerage company in Hollywood that can independently complete the packaging agreement.

Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company surpassed United Elite Brokerage Company and became the first company that can complete the packaging agreement for a long time and multiple works in addition to the three major brokerage companies. This not only means that the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has gradually gained a firm foothold, and it has begun to show its glory.

At present, only in terms of the number of agents, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has reached 75, which is already on par with the Creative Artist Brokerage Company.

However, the number of brokers has never been a measure of the level of brokerage companies. If it is purely in terms of the number of brokers, the international innovation management company is the largest, with more than 170 brokers ranking first in Hollywood, and William- Morris Brokerage Company also has more than 150 brokers. However, the innovative artist brokerage company has become the current industry leader with a "district" of one hundred brokers. It can be seen that the level of the artists under the agency is the level of ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that really determines the ability of the brokerage company.

The level of its artists determines the success ratio of the brokerage company's packaging agreement. It can be seen that Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has indeed become the top leader outside the three major brokerage companies, without a doubt.

It's hard to imagine that an actor's move can actually drive half of Hollywood's movement, a picture that could not be constructed a year ago. In the peak period of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, they used to have this ability. The production of "Indiana Jones" caused a sensation throughout Hollywood, but then George gradually turned behind the scenes. Steven began to concentrate on shooting war biographies, and the original momentum that stirred up waves with a single stone is gone forever.

But now, such a momentum has appeared again. Just a "beautiful mind", just a Hugo-Lancaster, so that the five major Hollywood studios have joined the competition-in addition to the standstill MGM and Paramount, there are also self New-line film industry with limited funds. This is also the most special phenomenon since the beginning of the blockbuster era: it was not a $200 million investment, it was not James Cameron’s grand plan, it was not a disaster film, a science fiction film or an action film—not even a commercial film, but it still caused it. Stormy seas.

This is the only one in the world, and there is no semicolon.
