World-class directors in the entertainment industry

People feel refreshed when happy events occur.

No, it should be said that only with desire can one have motivation.

What's more, this was Qin Dong's plan. He didn't want to waste time anymore, so he was very careful about the post-production of "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" and the requirements were very strict. Everything was progressing step by step.

Editing a movie is a very time-consuming task, but Qin Dong is an exception.

It only took Qin Dong two days to edit the movie. After all, all the plots had been perfected in his mind, and now he was just editing according to them.

This time, the subtitles, soundtrack, etc. in the later stage were not produced by Qin Dong, but were all found by Paramount and Tom Company.

However, Qin Dong had to keep an eye on the whole process, supervise these people to eat snacks, and finish their work as soon as possible.

...

【Death Star】Building.

CAA headquarters is also where Qin Dong’s company [Blackwater Dragon Flag] is located.

"Oh, dear Qin, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came here?"

As soon as Qin Dong brought people to his company, Martin Bob came after hearing the news.

"Martin, we are all in the same building, what can I say hello to?"

Qin Dong looked at Martin who walked in and shook his head, not caring.

This is also true. When the leather bag company moved here, it was the room provided by Martin.

Later, Qin Dong wanted to acquire a small, fully functional film and television company here and completely establish the [Black Water Dragon Flag] company, so he rented a few office rooms in this building.

"OK, I guessed that you think so, so I, as an agent, have to take the initiative to pay attention to your movements."

Martin shrugged, becoming immune to Qin Dong's words.

This director who signed a contract with himself has a very unusual personality and has his own characteristics.

These days have already become familiar to each other, so when he heard this, he didn't care about it, and instead talked about business. This is also Qin Dong's style, and Martin was very conscious:

"Qin, the last contract signed with Casa Film and Television was just a reservation. Are you sure you are coming this time?"

Qin Dong nodded:

"Yes, Martin, [The Hunger Games] has been filmed, and the [Blackwater Dragon Flag] company can no longer be what it was before, and must be formally established."

"The Casa Film and Television Company you introduced last time sounds good. I want to see more details."

Casa Film and Television Company is a small film and television company in Hollywood, with all the necessary features. Unfortunately, there are too many such companies in Hollywood. This may be a bit exaggerated, but there are not a hundred but eighty such companies, which is not enough to mention.

Many companies like this are built every year, and many go bankrupt every year.

Everyone knows that it is easy to make money in the entertainment industry, but when you really get into it, you find that it is not the case. You can only watch others make money, and you will fall into the mud if you get in.

"BOSS, President Martin."

Mary at the company front desk came in with two cups of coffee.

"Mary, give me the information about Casa Film and Television."

Qin Dong took the coffee, took a sip and gave instructions.

"Okay, BOSS."

...

Casa Film and Television Company is a small film and television company. The company was founded in 1998. Its founder, Ralph Casa, is a 42-year-old white man.

The company has a bit of history, but in the thirteen years since its establishment, the films it has released have all been low-budget films.

Very few of them even go to theaters, and most of them are released offline on disc.

"Oh, I've never heard of any of these movies."

Qin Dong looked at the information in his hand, which detailed all the films released by Casa Film and Television Company since its establishment. He saw that there were many catalogs, with dozens of films, but Qin Dong looked at it carefully and thought about it again and again.

I just can't think of any of them, none of the movies are familiar.

[Legend of the Wizard], [Strange House], [Death of the Widow], [Black House in the Woods], [Legend of Death], [Legend of Death], [Black Highway], [Christmas Fun Facts], [The Harlem Family], [

Cowboy Farm], [Game of Thrones], [Mirror Magic], [Home Alone], [Boring Novel], [Titanic], [Texas Chainsaw Massacre]...

"Oh, Qin, Casa Film and Television is just a small company. There are at least two hundred such companies in Hollywood. Do you expect such a small company to produce any famous films?"

Martin heard Qin Dong's complaints and said casually.

"That's right."

Qin Dong nodded, looking at the names of these movies, he was speechless. Some of the names seemed a bit familiar, but when he looked carefully at the leading actors and plot introductions above, he was speechless.

Why? Because the names of these movies look familiar, but they are actually imitations. They imitate some well-known movies, change the names, change the plots, make a specious movie, and release it directly on disc. As for theaters, what are they?

, didn’t consider it at all.

This kind of film and television company that mainly distributes offline discs was okay before. However, after the new century, as computers become more and more developed, especially in the past two years, with the emergence of smart phones, although they have not yet become popular all over the world,

, but it’s only a matter of time.

Under such a double blow, the offline disc business has gone from its peak in the 1990s to the decline after the new century, and now its decline is even more obvious. Many film and television companies that used to distribute such offline discs have gone bankrupt.

"BOSS, Ralph Casa is here."

Mary came in and interrupted Qin Dong's thoughts.

"Let him in."

Qin Dong gave the order without raising his head.

I came here today to resolve this matter, so I had already asked Ralph to come before I came here.

"Hello, director, hello, Martin."

A middle-aged white man walked in, first greeted Qin Dong, and then said something to Martin with a smile.

"Oh, Martin, you never said you knew each other."

Qin Dong could tell at a glance that this Ralph Casa was definitely familiar with Martin, and his expression of greeting did not look like a stranger.

Otherwise, why would a CEO of a small film and television company greet Martin, the president of CAA, like this? The two of them are not on the same level.

"Oh, dear Qin, don't get me wrong. Although I have known Ralph for many years, I am not exaggerating about Casa Film and Television Company's business, the company's property, and the ability of its employees. I even deliberately lowered the price.

, you can find someone else to investigate these."

Martin saw Qin Dong's eyes, slightly furrowed brows and expression, and immediately started to explain.

He didn't want to have any problems with his relationship with Qin Dong. This Chinese director had already proven himself in Hollywood and was destined to be a world-class director in the future. For this reason, Martin paid great attention to maintaining his relationship with Qin Dong.

Don't think that signing a contract means you are stable. Every agency has done this kind of poaching.

It is very common for managers to change jobs with artists.

Otherwise, why are the world's top stars and artists under Martin's name? After any agent under CAA makes their artists popular, these artists will be transferred to Martin's agency, and the original agent will still belong to the artist.

Brokers have just taken a back seat and are under the jurisdiction of multiple parties.

This setting is to prevent the agent from being poached by other companies. The agent can leave, but the artists in the agent's hands cannot leave. This is a defensive measure.

Bonuses from big directors are much more important to CAA than top stars.

Take Qin Dong's "Source Code" and "Super Human Body", the heroine is both CAA artist Scarlett.

Several of the supporting characters in [Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol], including Elizabeth Olsen and Clint Barton, are also CAA artists.

The only protagonist of [The Hunger Games] is Jennifer Lawrence, and the remaining supporting actors and actresses are all CAA artists.

What's more, Qin Dong has other movie scripts already planned. How could Martin make Qin Dong unhappy because of this?

Seeing Qin Dong's face, he immediately started to explain.

"Oh...that's it..."

Qin Dong squinted at Martin's expression.

He is an outsider and is in other people's territory. If these people give him something, they can really keep him in the dark.

So there is no reason why Qin Dong should not doubt it.

After all, he is very lazy and leaves everything to his agent, and doesn't want to worry about everything.

That's why I had this suspicion. It was because I saw that Ralph was familiar with Martin that I had this suspicion.
