I’m in Hollywood

After a while, Harvey left alone, and Elizabeth moved towards Eric and whispered, Eric, what do you think I bought Miramax?

Eric motioned for a waiter to take away the plate he had finished, and asked for a glass of champagne, Why do you suddenly have such an idea?

Elizabeth said: I heard that Miramax lost a lot of money this year. After the success of Sex, Lies and Video Tapes and My Left Foot last year, the Weinstein brothers bought more than ten movies in one go. Most box office failures, and nothing at the Oscars, I think this is a good opportunity.︽,”

Good opportunity, what good opportunity? What is your purpose for buying Miramax? Even if you buy it, do you have any specific plans for Miramax, and what is tg's development idea? Do you have these? Have you considered it?

Eric's series of questions directly confused Elizabeth. After the success of Silence of the Lambs, Elizabeth just wanted to strike while the iron was hot, continue to make films, and grow tg, but the specific planning... What does a production company like them need? planning? In addition to making movies, isn't it still making movies?

Okay, let's come one by one, Eric looked at Elizabeth who was at a loss: Why did you buy Miramax?

For... Oscars, the two brothers are very good at PR Oscars. In addition to helping the PR of Silence of the Lambs, they have also been nominated for five best foreign language films.

Although there are best-selling movies that go to the Oscars every year, most of the Oscar-nominated movies are still works of art. Since you want to buy Miramax. That is to say. Have you decided to concentrate on making art movies that go to the Oscars in the future?

Elizabeth shook her head: Of course not. It's just...

Just when you need it, let them do public relations, right? For the Oscars, you bought a company for the production and distribution of literary and artistic films. Do you think tg has this strength now?

Elizabeth moved her waist unwillingly, and the silver knife in her hand pulled a prawn on the plate in front of her, and muttered, Okay, just don't buy it.

Eric added: In fact, most of the time the Oscars are just a icing on the cake. We can't deny that it plays a very important role in the sales of videotapes. Stars who win Oscars will double their worth. But every year Hollywood produces There are hundreds of movies, but there are only a few dozen or so that can compete for the Oscar. If hitting the Oscars is the business goal of a film company, then the company will never grow and grow. In fact, it is an example. I remember a few years ago, Orion received 18 nominations in one Oscar,

But it is still on the road to bankruptcy.

Elizabeth waved her small hand to stop: Okay, I'm just a temporary idea, you don't have to talk like an old man. My father doesn't talk as much as you.

Eric looked at Elizabeth very 'hurt': If it's an irrelevant person, do you think I'll chatter?

Elizabeth's face was slightly rosy: Even if...even if I was wrong. Is it okay?

The Silence of the Lambs is a famous work by tg, this one is an exception, but then you choose another road movie, um... I haven't read the script yet, so I won't comment for the time being, but you've thought about tg What will be the focus of future filmmaking?

Elizabeth showed a thoughtful look: I really didn't think about it, I just thought that as long as I could pick out a good script and make a good movie, it would be fine. Well, of course, the plan I set for myself is within five years. By not making films that cost more than $30 million, you can minimize the risk, and even if you accidentally lose money, you won’t lose too much.”

I will not comment on the Seventh National Congress, but for Firefly, my plan is to make big-budget movies with special effects based on Firefly itself, New Line is responsible for horror thrillers, Flower Pictures will focus on action movies in the future, Pixar is responsible for animation, Because the black ant was an accident, there is no accurate positioning for the time being. Eric finished briefly and looked at Elizabeth: So, what type of movie do you think tg is suitable for?

Elizabeth pinched her delicate little finger and pondered for a moment: It seems that if we can't specialize in art films, the larger category will be comedy films.

Finally put this: That's it. In the future, tg will specialize in making comedies. In fact, it is very beneficial to focus on one type of film, just like the Weinstein brothers have worked out a set of rules for special PR Oscars, if you transform into comedy production, Over time, you can figure out a suitable path. And comedy films are usually cheap to make, making them ideal for independent studios.”

Elizabeth also seemed to have figured out some other meanings. Looking at Eric, she said suspiciously, How do I feel that this is all arranged by you?

Eric snapped his fingers, showing a complimenting look: It's so smart, so, are you okay with it?

Elizabeth asked weakly, What if... have an opinion?

Eric looked at Elizabeth with a smile: Look, you used an interrogative sentence, indicating that this is just a hypothesis, then you must have no objection in your heart. If that's the case, then it's such a happy decision. Let's talk about the details later. In fact, I have a lot of good ideas in my heart, but I have never had the energy to implement them, and I am not reconciled to handing them over to outsiders, so I am cheap for you.”

Elizabeth stared at Eric for a few seconds, pursed her lips, silently forked the only prawn left on the plate in front of her, and shoved it into Eric's champagne glass, which was optional. After venting, he lay on the table and said depressedly, Oh my God, how could I meet a shameless guy like you, I'm going crazy.

Eric looked at a layer of oil in the cup, and the old god sighed on the ground, what a waste. Standing up regretfully, he exchanged another glass with the waiter, and by the way, he also thoughtfully brought a glass of wine to the girl next to him: Come on, have a glass of champagne, you should thank me, but I took a big, big one. The 'gold mine' is up to you.

I unload~ unload~ you, Elizabeth glared at Eric through gritted teeth, took the glass of champagne and drank it. (To be continued..)u
