Chatty Hollywood - Chapter 793
?Of course, although the business of TV dramas and games is getting stronger and stronger, the Ghost Party Studio is a movie studio after all.
No, when the release of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” enters the final stage, and the global box office is about to exceed 1.2 billion US dollars, the Ghost Party Studios invested in the Chinese director James Huang’s “Reaper Is Coming”, which will also be released in October 2002. It was released on Halloween on the 31st.
To this end, Charlotte used her position in the industry to specially invite many celebrities to join in.
To many people, this is actually a bit strange—
After all, for the Ghost Party studio, which often produces blockbuster movies and now has the title of “Ghost production, must be a boutique”, a horror movie of the scale of “Death is Coming” is really not a major project.
——In this case, Charlotte’s extraordinary attention is a bit puzzling.
However, this kind of incomprehension is limited to those who don’t know enough about the Ghost Party studio.
Many film company executives understand that the reason why Charlotte attaches importance to this “Reaper Is Coming” is not only because it is a film invested and produced by the Ghost Party studio.
More importantly, this is the first film released by the Ghost Studios in North America.
——Yes, after six or seven years of founding and producing a lot of high-quality movies, the Ghost Party Studio finally began to enter the field of film distribution.
Although for a long time before, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Seven Hollywood, and the funds in hand have more uses, Charlotte was not eager to let the Ghost Party studio develop into the field of film distribution.
But this does not mean that he was not prepared for it.
——Mr. Westwood has been staring at the small third-tier companies that have distribution channels in Hollywood.
——Even during the period when he died of a sudden illness and then became a ghost, he was extremely psychologically uncomfortable, he did not relax.
Charlotte and Mr. Westwood’s plan is to find a suitable opportunity to acquire two or three small third-tier companies with small distribution networks in one fell swoop, and then reorganize their distribution networks.
For this reason, within the Ghost Party Studio, some talents in the publishing field have been hoarded through recruitment and other methods in advance.
——“Always be prepared” is more than just a slogan for the Ghost Party Studio.
But now, the situation in Hollywood is changing. MGM, one of the seven Hollywood giants, is about to fall. The other six are busy competing for the wreckage of MGM. There is no time for him to take care of him. The Ghost Party Studio immediately seized the opportunity to complete itself. The formation of the North American distribution network.
The movie “Reaper is Coming” is the first test of the newly formed North American distribution network of Ghost Party Studios.
“The fall of MGM really gave this fellow Charlotte a good opportunity!”
At the premiere of “Reaper Is Coming,” David Hyman of Warner Bros. muttered in his heart.
In fact, in Hollywood film and television companies, in addition to the former seven, today’s six, although there are not many companies with a complete North American distribution network, they are not very rare.
In this era of globalization of Hollywood films, the six more important distribution capabilities are actually overseas distribution networks, not North American distribution networks.
After all, unlike film making, which depends on talent and luck, film distribution is more of a game of money.
Especially for overseas distribution networks, it is very difficult to establish without massive amounts of money and sufficient talents.
In contrast, the distribution network in North America, because the North American film market is very mature, it is relatively easy to establish.
——Of course, it is impossible without sufficient funds.
Under this circumstance, the six major players have tacitly adopted the method of grasping the big and letting go of the small, firmly grasping the line of overseas distribution network, and it has stuck other Hollywood second- and third-tier film companies.
——No matter how good they have made, as long as they want to make a fortune in the global market, they will inevitably be exploited by the Big Six.
-The difference is just who is exploited.
For example, the DreamWorks Company, jointly formed by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, was stuck on the overseas distribution network by the six major Hollywood companies——
Although this film and television company, which has been calling out to become a new major Hollywood company from its inception, is increasingly struggling, it has a lot to do with the struggle for power among the Big Three.
However, being restricted by the six major issues, it is still a fundamental factor that has never been able to obtain independent internal force for overseas issuance.
After all, if compared to internal chaos, DreamWorks is definitely inferior to Warner, which is known for its fierce internal high-level struggle.
But Warner is alive and well, even the most profitable company in Hollywood in recent years.
——This is enough to illustrate the importance of overseas distribution networks.
However, for Charlotte’s Ghost Party studio, Hollywood’s six restrictive methods are different from those for DreamWorks——
Who made Charlotte so perverted that almost every movie he shot has hit the box office?
Even Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, two recognized masters of commercial films in Hollywood, have a record of mistakes, but Charlotte has never failed.
He hasn’t even filmed films that don’t make money or lose money.
In this guy’s dictionary, it seems that in addition to “success”, there are only “big success” and “super success”.
-There is no “failure” anyway.
Once such a person has a complete film distribution network, what will it be like! ?
Therefore, the six major Hollywood companies want to cooperate with Charlotte in filming, and they are worried that after Charlotte has the distribution network in his hands, they will not play with them at all.
—— Therefore, although they will not deliberately suppress the works of the Ghost Party Studio for the sake of money, they still do not want the Ghost Party Studio to have the ability to distribute.
Fortunately, in the past few years, even with the continuous development of the Ghost Party studio, Charlotte has never reached out to the publishing field.
This made the Big Six of Hollywood gradually relieved, thinking that Charlotte may not be here.
However, now, the Ghost Party Studio took advantage of the opportunity to carve up MGM and obtained the North American distribution network in a nearly blitzkrieg way, which caught everyone off guard.
However, at this time the deal was done, and they had no choice.
“It’s all MGM’s fault!”
David Hyman complained about the MGM that was being divided by them~www.mtlnovel.com~ In fact, because of the repeated changes of hands in the late 20th century, MGM, which could have been one of the leaders in Hollywood, has long since changed hands. The vitality was badly hurt, and the signs of going downhill had already appeared several years ago.
Therefore, the other six major players have long been eyeing MGM.
However, MGM will fall so suddenly, but it is beyond everyone’s expectation——
“Who would have thought that “The Wind Whisperer”, the combined film of the great director John Wu and the first-line celebrity Nicholas Cage, could be such a bird!”
David Hyman sighed in his heart.
“John Wu’s pigeon magic has failed!”
