World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Martin, Jennifer's acting skills are very good. I think she is one of the younger generation's future candidates for the Oscar for Best Actress."

Watching the first completed film of [The Hunger Games].

Qin Dong suddenly turned his head and said something to Martin.

"Yeah...this young actor is really good. His acting skills are quite good at a young age."

Martin agreed with Qin Dong's view.

Jennifer is his CAA artist, and with her relationship with Qin Dong, Martin will definitely pay attention to her.

I clearly know that Jennifer is only 22 years old this year. For a little girl born in 1990, her acting skills are already visibly outstanding at this age. As a man who has been in Hollywood for more than 40 years, Martin still has some vision and judgment.

"Congratulations, Martin, this movie is well made. This series will definitely make Jennifer a rising star among the younger generation in Hollywood. She will not be far away from becoming a global super female star."

Qin Dong is too aware of the bonus this [The Hunger Games] has had on Jennifer Lawrence.

In her previous life, this girl relied on this series to become a world-famous actress. This is her masterpiece. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is her only masterpiece.

"Haha... Qin, I have to thank you. Without you, Jennifer would be just one of the thousands of girls pursuing the Hollywood dream. There are too many such people in Hollywood every day and every year."

Martin laughed, this is indeed worthy of congratulations.

Because Jennifer is an artist of CAA, the more famous its artists are, the more money CAA will make and gain fame and fortune besides money.

But Martin is sober and knows who caused all this.

Thousands of young people come to Hollywood every year, all dreaming of becoming stars. Unfortunately, how many of them actually make it?

Every place has its own rules and interest chains.

The same is true in Hollywood. Among those young people who can get ahead, none of them have a backer.

Either the family is rich, or the family has a Hollywood celebrity, or is related to a celebrity.

If a young man with no background wants to get ahead, his chances are as slim as winning the first prize in a lottery.

"hehe..."

Qin Dong smiled, said nothing, and continued watching the movie.

He can't say that without him, Jennifer Lawrence would still be famous.

In the previous life, this girl became famous because of the fat guy Harvey who Qin Dong hated.

Not only for movies, but also for promotions.

Jennifer's public relations reputation relies on her silly and sweet appearance, compared to Anne Hathaway's hypocritical and perfect pretense, and she has become a typical successful public relations public relations.

Relying on comparison and binding, Jennifer successfully defeated Anne Hathaway. Anne, a representative rising star of the new generation of actresses who became famous six or seven years before Jennifer, became Jennifer's stepping stone.

Of course, there is no need to say what the girls need to pay here, it is a very common thing.

...

In the whole world, let alone Hollywood, which country's entertainment industry is not like this.

Even for a world-famous director like Spielberg, Gwyneth Paltrow, who became famous as his goddaughter, did not become the most famous Oscar-winning girl in the world.

Wei, this damn fat guy is pushing hands.

To say that Harvey did not sleep with Gwyneth Paltrow, Qin Dong would not believe it 100%.

If you want to get something, you have to give something. They are all in the circle, and no one knows who is who.

Although Gwyneth Paltrow told the media after Harvey's accident that she did not have a relationship with Harvey and said that Harvey did harass her, she found her then boyfriend Brad Pitt.

, and thus escaped.

But Qin Dong scoffed at this.

...

After Nicole Kidman divorced Tom Cruise, although she and her agent sent Kim to kill Tom and bring Tom into disrepute, Nicole still often thanked Tom in front of the media and thanked him for freeing her from all these years.

The unspoken rule was that she had an identity as Mrs. Cruise at the time.

Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow said the same thing, but Qin Dong believed Nicole's words, not Gwyneth's.

Because Tom Cruise was in the air every day in the 1990s.

During this period, Tom Cruise was taking the world by storm. Whether he appeared in commercial films or literary films, the box office exploded.

In the past ten years, Tom has made several literary and artistic films. Although the Oscars still look down on Tom, these literary and artistic films have made huge profits at the box office, not to mention other commercial films.

Such a superstar was welcomed by all film and television companies at that time, because as long as Tom starred in a movie, no matter what type, it would make money.

As for Brad Pitt, although he is very famous, it is a pity that this person is not taken seriously by Hollywood commercial blockbusters.

...

Because Brad is famous for his looks, and he is very good at business. The girlfriends he finds are all famous Hollywood actresses. First, he fell in love with Gwyneth Paltrow, the world's great director Spears.

Berg's goddaughter later met Jennifer Aniston, a big girl who became popular in North America through the TV series "Friends", and immediately abandoned Gwyneth Paltrow.

Even if they were engaged at the time, it couldn't stop Brad from wanting to be famous. Compared with the then-rising Jennifer Aniston, the mere Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow was not worthy at all.

Mention.

After Jennifer Aniston's reputation declined, Brad met Angelina Jolie, who became famous in the action movie "Tomb Raider". She was the most famous female star in Hollywood at the time and was very famous.

This scheming man immediately abandoned Jennifer and fell into the arms of Angelina.

Brad Pitt's only masterpiece is "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and this movie was his first love movie with Angelina Jolie.

This world-famous male star, throughout his career, most of his movies have not made money, and the few that have made money, except for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the other few movies that have made money are those of Brad Pitt.

Supporting roles, or movies with multiple protagonists, such as "Ocean's Eleven". In a movie with multiple protagonists, there is no difference whether it is with or without him. It would be just as profitable if another person acted in the movie.

But he is famous. How did he get it? He got it through women. This is why he is not taken seriously by Hollywood commercial blockbusters.

This man cannot support the box office. Although he has an appearance comparable to that of Tom Cruise, it is a pity that he can only be used to pick up girls. He does not have the ability to support the box office like Tom Cruise. This is the gap.

Therefore, Qin Dong believes that Nicole Kidman can avoid hidden rules by relying on her title as Mrs. Cruise, but does not believe that Gwyneth Paltrow can rely on her identity as Brad Pitt's girlfriend to make Harvey like her.

The unspoken bastard regresses.

Hollywood is realistic.

In order to make money, you can regress.

When Tom Cruise was at the height of his popularity, he could make money just by starring in movies. This kind of superstar had to be fawned over by even the Big Six in Hollywood, and no one dared to mess with him.

But Brad Pitt doesn't have this ability, so he certainly doesn't have the capital to make Harvey, a Jew, regress.

...

"Very good, let's put the movie in March next year, choose a low season."

After watching the complete "Hunger Games", Qin Dong praised it and then gave the exact release time.

"Off-season? It's okay. The boss has really considered it carefully. Although Jennifer Lawrence is somewhat famous, she is really not that big and cannot support the box office to compete with other blockbusters. And the other actors in the movie are not even as famous as Jennifer."

Caesar didn't expect that Qin Dong would arrange the off-season. After thinking for a while, he immediately figured it out and agreed.

At the moment, Jennifer Lawrence does not have a masterpiece, but she is still famous. First, she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for a small-budget art film "Winter's Bone", but that's all.

And the literary film "Get Out of My Way, Let Me Embrace Happiness", also known as "Silver Linings Playbook", starring Jennifer and released this year, will have to wait until next year, when CAA will win Jennifer the Oscar for Best Actress.

Secondly, it relies on the scandal with Qin Dong, but this girl still has no representative works in commercial films, so her fame is still limited.

"Qin is thoughtful. We at CAA have also discussed internally that the first film in a series of this kind should be famous, and the off-season of movies is indeed a good time, especially for actors who are not well-known."

"The Oscars are held in March every year. At that time, the literary film "Silver Linings Playbook" starring Jennifer can compete for the best actress. Regardless of whether she wins or not, CAA will definitely find a way to get Jennifer nominated. This is very important for "Silver Linings Playbook" released at that time.

"The Hunger Games" is bound to be good news that attracts the attention of the movie-going public."

When Martin heard this, he smiled and agreed. He was thinking more about the Oscars and Jennifer's artistic film released this year.

The so-called off-season is actually the month when the box office is low every year. Commercial blockbusters basically do not choose the off-season.

The most popular periods in North America are the summer vacation and Christmas periods.

In fact, it is equivalent to the summer vacation and the Spring Festival in the Mainland.

The popular schedule must be the most leisurely time for people and students, so that the box office will be very popular.

Several people left the screening room while talking and returned to the general manager's office.

"Caesar, Martin, my next movie [Gravity] is going to be released in two months. Please give me a plan and make preparations. I need this movie to hit the Oscars."

Qin Dong sat on the sofa in the house, pondered for a moment, and suddenly spoke.

"Oh, Gat, Qin, you finally thought about competing for the Oscar. I thought you didn't care about this award at all."

Martin's unexpected words came out of his mouth.

The Chinese director in front of me seems to have never paid attention to awards since he was making movies until now, and has even never attended an award ceremony at all.

According to Martin's understanding, this Chinese director not only does not attend North American award ceremonies, but also European and Chinese awards ceremonies. This Chinese director has not attended even one.

At this moment, when he heard Qin Dong suddenly proposed to attack Oscar, he couldn't help but express his surprise, because it was so unexpected.

"You are wrong, Martin. I really don't care. It's just that [Gravity] is a movie that may not be successful at the box office. I have to consider other aspects. If the box office is not very profitable, I hope to make up for it with awards.

..”

Qin shook his head and chose to tell the truth.

Anyway, the two people in the room at this moment are considered one of their own.

"Boss, don't you like your movie [Gravity]?"

Caesar asked with a slight frown.

[Gravity] is jointly invested by Yuefu Media and several other Warner companies. It has nothing to do with Blackwater Dragon Flag in North America, so Caesar, as the general manager of Blackwater Dragon Flag, doesn't actually know about it.

Blackwater Dragon Banner has some North American distribution rights, but it still has to lag behind Warner Bros. in North America.

Warner distributes globally, while Blackwater Dragon Banner only has partial North American distribution rights. China Film, Dark Line, Bona, and Yuefu Media equally share the Chinese distribution rights.

"I have not seen the finished film of this movie, I have only read the script. In fact, CAA has conducted internal research and it is indeed difficult for this movie to earn high box office."

Martin also shook his head seriously at this moment.

At that time, CAA was not optimistic about this movie. Unfortunately, no one, including Martin, could make Qin Dong change his mind.

Martin once advised Qin Dong that if he had to make this movie, he could choose to find an actress who could carry the box office. After all, you can tell from the script that this is a drama with a female protagonist, and 70% of the scenes depend on

The heroine was left to carry it all by herself, and the actor Qin Dong chose was one that Martin had never heard of, because she was just an actress famous in China. How could such an actor carry the global box office?

Qin Dong's well-intentioned suggestion did not make Qin Dong change his mind, so Martin was also worried about the box office after the movie was released.

"The actors are not well-known enough. Caesar, this is a drama movie that relies on a single female protagonist. It is indeed difficult to do well at the box office. However, this is a special effects blockbuster. With the high ticket price of 3D movie tickets, there is no problem in making money back."

."

Qin Dong nodded and expressed his opinion to Caesar without any concealment.

Martin has read the script, but Caesar knows nothing about it.
