I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 378
[Chapter 375 Take advantage of my family]
In the years before Eric’s rebirth, the Oscars
have become more and more niche. Even though many movies won the best picture, they did not do much at the box office. Of course, this situation is also related to the general environment at that time.
But in the 1990s, the gold content of the Oscars was still very high. Winning the Oscars for a movie brought not only fame, but also tangible benefits.
Moreover, the treatment of Oscar nominees and Oscar winners is also very different. Only nominated for Oscars, at most, they can only enjoy a little glory before the awards that year, and few people will mention it after that. Once recognized by the Oscars, the film will be forever recorded in Hollywood film history.
Since its release in early June, “The Silence of the Lambs” has not only received more than 100 million US dollars at the box office, but also won a lot of praise from film critics in more than two months. It can be said that it has become the gold seed in the next Oscar. player.
But if next year’s Oscars don’t win a few major awards, then “The Silence of the Lambs” will certainly no longer have the wide and lasting impact it had in its previous life.
Just like the sensational “The Exorcist” in the 1970s, if you don’t mention Oscar, “The Exorcist” is better than “The Silence of the Lambs” in terms of box office and fame. “The Lamb” won a number of important Oscars, but this movie has a much higher status in the hearts of many people than “The Exorcist”.
That’s why many directors and actors tirelessly pursue the Oscars.
After the success of “The Silence of the Lambs”, Elizabeth, who originally wanted to make a difference in Hollywood, became more complacent.
The next operation of “Silence of the Lambs” to make it win the next Oscar is a very important part of Elizabeth’s plan, because it can expand the influence of tg film company in the shortest time.
Get Hollywood recognition for the three-girl-founded film company.
Attract more excellent filmmakers to work with.
therefore.
After Eric finished the analysis, Elizabeth paid more attention to it than the other two girls beside her. The girl temporarily ignored Eric’s ‘great hatred’ for pumping her ass and said seriously: “Eric, since this movie is currently If it is not favored by the industry, maybe we can find a way to delay the release of this film until next year. Well, I remember that Orion’s current holding company is Metropolis Media, and my dad is good friends with the boss of Metropolis Media, John Kruger. Maybe let Mr. John Kruger say hello to Orion.”
Although Elizabeth has shown her shrewdness in the operation of the “Silence of the Lambs” project.
Even though there is no lack of family influence in the process, but without much experience, he successfully completed an excellent film for the first time as a producer. Elizabeth’s ability is definitely the best among Murdoch’s children. .
But hearing this, Eric felt that the girl was still a little tender, or lacked aggression.
Eric is sure that if Murdoch is sitting opposite, the old guy will not negotiate with others for an extension, and most likely instruct his subordinates to take the film and distribute it by himself.
“Liz, this is a business. Involving tens of millions of dollars in business, how much do you plan to ask your father to mediate for you?” Eric asked in return.
Elizabeth sees Eric rejecting the offer.
He quickly realized his purpose: “You mean, we snatch this movie from Orion?”
“Bingo,” Eric snapped his fingers.
Elizabeth frowned slightly: “Didn’t they all sign the distribution contract, so it should be very troublesome?”
“Of course it is troublesome for a well-received film, but “Dancing With Wolves” is obviously not the case,
you want You know, the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” at the beginning of the year was because Fox was not optimistic about the distribution prospects, so we bought the distribution rights very easily…”
Before Eric could finish speaking, Elizabeth put a pillow hard. He slammed him in the face: “Also said! You bastard, taking advantage of my house!”
Eric quickly caught the pillow and threw it back, but it fell into Julia’s arms. Seeing Elizabeth picked up another pillow, Eric immediately said, “Stop, hit me again and slap you.”
Elizabeth After a pause, he pursed his lips reluctantly and put the pillow on his knees and rubbed it ruthlessly, still muttering to himself and complaining in a low voice: “You just like to take advantage of my family.”
“This is business, buy it and leave. , willing to admit defeat, do you think your father never thought of taking advantage of me, but he just failed.”
Elizabeth still snorted angrily before asking reluctantly, “Then what should I do? ”
It’s very simple, and you are also very good at it. Next, you have to play the eldest lady.”
“I was originally the eldest lady,” Elizabeth said proudly with her chin raised.
Eric nodded in praise and said, “Yes, that’s what it tastes like, but you have to exaggerate a little bit. You have to act like a spoiled little princess.”
After saying this, not only Elizabeth, Julia and Drew all He showed a curious and suspicious expression.
Eric didn’t give a shit, and then said: “The next story is this, Miss Elizabeth of the Murdoch family made a film that was well-received, and in order for this film to win the Oscar, the spoiled The little princess recklessly used her family’s influence in Hollywood to snipe films that might win awards. It just so happened that a film called “Dancing With Wolves” received good reviews after an internal preview, in order to prevent “Dancing With Wolves” “Dancing With Wolves” participated in the competition for next year’s Oscar. Elizabeth unreasonably requested that the film be postponed. The distributor of “Dancing With Wolves” did not bow to the evil forces in Hollywood. The price bought out all the copyrights of this film, now, the story ends here.”
“Tsk tsk, the plot is full of ups and downs, full of negative energy, it’s time to make a movie,” Drew said with a smile.
Julia also smiled and said in admiration: “As expected of a gold medal screenwriter in Hollywood.”
Elizabeth rolled her eyes: “Why do you want me to be this villain, why don’t you play that ‘Hollywood villain’ yourself?”
“Of course I won’t let you do it for nothing,” Eric took out The checkbook quickly wrote a check and handed it over: “Hey, spend my money, can this be okay?” (To be continued.) The
