One-on-one Hollywood Chapter 912 Sin City Quentin Tarantino waited outside the door with mixed feelings. Winona Ryder's rosy and shiny face was revealed, and she smiled, "Dawn let you in." "Thank you." Quentin Tarantino nodded and took a deep breath. However, the strange smell in the study made him dare not take more deep breaths, so he quickly maintained his normal state and walked in nervously and nervously. In the study, Tang En was sitting on the sofa, and he didn't know where he took out a bottle of red wine that had been treasured for many years. He opened the bottle and drank slowly. This is very impolite behavior. If you put it on someone else, you are guaranteed to be scolded! Dunn is different. He helped the Tribeca Film Festival a lot and solved Robert De Niro's pressing needs. What's wrong with drinking a bottle of wine? Dunn even suggested that Robert De Niro cancel the admission fee for the Tribeca Film Festival, so that more excellent films can come in for free. The "ticket" for each film is only 30,000 US dollars. There are more than 100 participating films, and the total income is more than 3 million US dollars. It's really not high. Independent filmmakers don’t have much money. $30,000 is nothing for the upper class, but it is a huge sum for the bottom filmmakers. At the film festival, the film is sold, so if it gets nothing, wouldn't it make things worse? Since it is an independent film festival, don't make it into a money-making game like many small film festivals, at least don't be too blatant. The "ticket fee" of $3 million is just a big deal, and Focus Pictures paid for the sponsorship! This can further deepen the relationship between Focus Films and the American independent film industry, and gradually eat away Harvey Weinstein's network resources in the circle. Quentin Tarantino walked into the study, a little embarrassed and a little overwhelmed. Dunn glanced at him indifferently, and pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit!" Then he nodded to Winona Ryder and waved to the red wine on the table. Winona Ryder understood it, poured another glass of red wine, and gave it to Quentin Tarantino. She smiled and said, "This is a good wine that Mr. De Niro treasures." "Thank you! Thank you." Quentin Tarantino thanks again and again. Winona Ryder didn't say much, and was very happy. To be so flattered by a famous Hollywood genius director, let alone now that she is at the bottom of her career, even if she was at the peak, it would be difficult to receive such treatment. Dunn... is really a big backer! Steady and heavy! It is a great blessing to have the opportunity to have a close contact with a big man like Dunn today. Tang En doesn't need such complicated thoughts. It doesn't matter what kind of genius you are or whether you are a genius or not. This guy in front of you is just a down-and-out director. His current career is no better than Winona Ryder! "If it wasn't for Sophia's intercession, I wouldn't have given you a chance to meet." Dunn was very rude and didn't save face for the other party at all. Sofia Coppola broke up with Quentin Tarantino two months ago. However, the two are still friends, and Sophia also admires his talent, and does not want to see such a talented and talented director die, and plead for mercy many times. Quentin Tarantino opened his mouth but said nothing. It's really not a decent thing for a man to rely on his ex-girlfriend's intercession. Not even as self-reliant Winona Ryder. Tang En didn't even look at him. He drank red wine and said casually, "Tell me, what are your plans?" "I want to make a movie." Quentin Tarantino hesitated and said out of its own purpose. "Making a movie?" Dunn made a mockery at the corner of his mouth, "You don't know MPAA's fax documents, right? Whoever dares to cast your movie will lose the opportunity to get a movie tax rebate. The newly appointed chairman Dan Glickman, although he is a layman, has close ties to the White House. In the next four years, he will offer Hollywood federal tax incentives worth up to $400 million." Who wouldn't take the money for nothing? In the next few years, the entire Hollywood will inevitably follow the MPAA's decision-making, holding Dan Glickman's stinky feet every day, in an attempt to win more tax incentives. It can be said that this federal tax benefit is a key factor in Dan Glickman's ability to quickly gain a foothold in Hollywood. Besides, even without the $400 million in tax benefits, there would be no giant companies that would put pressure on the MPAA to invest in Quentin Tarantino. Who didn't know he was offending the president in the White House? The United States has always been very strict with film regulation! Not much worse than the General Bureau on the other side! During World War I and World War II, every film produced by Hollywood had to go through an official review before it could be released. After the end of World War II, the federal government came to a wave of rectification, resulting in many directors, screenwriters, etc. imprisoned or fled, followed by the "Paramount Act". Although President Reagan took office, he let Hollywood go. However, there are still many ways to check and balance Hollywood! For example, if you want to film on a third-level highway, you need to apply to the local government; if you want to film on a second-level highway, you need to apply to the state government; if you want to film on a first-level highway, you must get approval from the federal government. Another example is to go to Central Park to film, to the White House to film, to Congress to film, to film in an antique building that belongs to the federal government...all need to apply. There are 10,000 ways the federal government can limit it. Even if these are all right, the federation will still have the means of tax rebates, the means of defense subsidies for military films, and the means of "color" subsidies that promote the main theme... Even the current Hollywood movies do not need to go through the government. Reviewed, but movies must have established rules. Movies like "Fahrenheit 911" are absolutely impossible for giant companies to pass. In the previous life, after "Fahrenheit 911" was released by Harvey Weinstein in a dark way, Disney made an easy profit of 120 million US dollars within a year. As a result, powerful figures such as Michael Eisner did not pay a penny, and all the proceeds were donated to charities. He is not stupid, and it is impossible to lose big because of small! Besides, the current Hollywood film companies are all backed by media giants. The federal government's supervision of public television stations will be more stringent, and the issuance of licenses will be reviewed every 6 years. If it really annoyed the White House and caused problems with the issuance of TV licenses, it would be a disaster. Therefore, in Hollywood, none of the Big Six dares to provoke the federal government. In contrast, some small independent film companies will be more daring, doing everything they can to attract attention and make a quick buck. Whether it is about politics, religion, race, abuse, large-scale, conspiracy theories, etc., films will be made without thinking. Anyway, they can't win the opportunity of tax rebate, why should they please the government? Why be politically correct? The strength of the six giants is strong, but there are also many constraints. Not as free as many smaller companies. Quentin Tarantino really didn't understand this kind of truth before. He only knew that he could eat and drink spicy food by following Harvey Weinstein. Fortunately, this summer's changes made him have a better understanding of reality, and his attitude was very sincere, "I just want to make movies, and in the future... be a film director with a duty." "You can have this understanding, It means you are mature." Dunn looked up at him and glanced at him. The Cannes Film Festival, instigated by the French to be gunmen, has simply become the biggest joke in the industry. "I want to make a movie... MPAA always has to give an explanation." "I still need your help." Tang En waved his hand and changed the subject, "Forget it, who told me to be so kind-hearted. Tell me Well, what movie are you going to make?" Quentin Tarantino's face showed a touch of excitement, "Manga change movie!" "Huh?" Dunn moved in his heart. "Huh?" Winona Ryder couldn't help but be stunned. Manga change movie? No way? Director Quentin Tarantino... is also compromising on commercials? Dunn smiled, "There is a huge market for comic book movies, whose comics are you going to adapt?" "Frank Miller's "Sin City~www.wuxiaspot.com~ oh." Dunn nodded, Sure enough. Quentin Tarantino added: "Actually, this project was negotiated a few months ago. It was led by Harvey. But then something went wrong and the project was shelved." Dunn didn't move. Sensually, "Adapting Frank Miller's comics... How did I hear that the old man is difficult to handle?" Quentin Tarantino said: "Indeed, he asked not to make any changes to the comic content, and even asked for As a director, I personally shoot a part..." In the previous life of "Sin City", in order to be able to set up the project, he did make a lot of concessions. Not only did Frank Miller become the director and directed part of it, but he also brought in a new director, Robert Rodriguez, and several directors worked together to complete it. As a result, the quality of the film is somewhat poor. Nothing like the work of Quentin Tarantino. Also based on Frank Miller's comic book adaptation, "Sin City" has a big gap compared to Zack Snyder's "Spartan 300 Warriors". Dunn said unquestionably: "No! He can be a screenwriter, a director... He's not at that level! Tell Frank, just say that's what I mean!" Quentin Tarantino was a little excited, "No problem. !" Being able to direct independently, no one wants to cooperate with others. "But..." Dunn paused and took a deep look at him, "Who did you decide for the heroine of "Sin City"?" Quentin Tarantino lowered his head and said: "The person Frank was expecting was Jessica Alba, but I think another Jessica is more suitable, Jessica Simpson..." Before he finished speaking, he felt that something was not right, and looked up. , Sure enough, I saw Dunn squinting slightly, and then I saw Winona Ryder sitting beside him with a blushing face, why didn't he understand? New York is the real sin city. Please remember this book's first domain name: . Nine Heavens God Emperor
