Chapter 610

Thanks to the hard work of abagnier's loyal fans, screenwriter Kunes and others, the cat and mouse game script is getting closer and closer to song Ya's mind. Therefore, in addition to abagnier, there is an urgent need to solve the director's problem. Although David finch has expressed his willingness to accept the director, as long as the contract is not signed, all oral promises can not be counted.

Song Ya and Linton are very clear about David finch's motivation. Before the seven crimes project is finished, he certainly does not want to sign any contract. The more the film is favored, the higher his price will be.

If possible, his agent even wants to talk about the specific contract after the release of the seven crimes next year, but at least it will be in the summer. Song Ya and Linton can't wait. Now the project is waiting for the director to participate in the adaptation of the script.

The cat and mouse game requires a lot of acting skills and can't use all the cheap ones. In addition, the script was adapted by song Ya according to the 140 minute guidance of the original film. It's a bit hard to get the 20 million budget done. Where the cost needs to be reduced, where it needs to be cut down and where a cheaper scheme needs to be changed, it is better for the director to discuss with the producer in the early stage of preparation, otherwise the project is likely to get out of control.

"We set a deadline for David finch to make a final decision?" Song Ya asked, "otherwise, we would never be able to do anything if we were hung up like this."

"Let me see. How about the fourteenth of February next year? Valentine's day. " Asked Linton.

"How do you get such a precise date?" Song Ya is very strange.

"It was the day when the Oscar nominations were announced. As you know, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman starred in seven crimes. Brad Pitt's night visit to vampires and Morgan Freeman's redemption by Shawshank are expected to be nominated for the performance award. If they are nominated, it will be good for the box office attraction of the seven crimes and David finch's bargaining power, otherwise It's good for us. We'll have a final talk with him and his agent, and we'll do whatever we can

Linton's words made song Ya applaud, "Wow, I like the arrangement at this time point. It's in place."

They sat there and played with each other for several rounds, and both the host and the guest were happy.

"The matter has come to this stage. Has your contribution been settled?"

Song Ya shook hands with him and said goodbye. According to the agreement, the cat and mouse game project will be funded in half by both parties. Money is not a problem for him. He also brought money from Johnny Carson. The Hollywood film industry in Linton is not necessarily the same. They always only make low-cost movies.

"We will contribute 5 million yuan, and then try to get other Disney film companies to help us. The rest of the gap has to be drawn from outside investors. Will you help me out then? You're more attractive to them. " Linton took the opportunity to propose.

"Well, what are you going to do with outside investors? Is that kind of money trap, or sincere investment? If it's the latter, I don't mind helping. " Song Ya is afraid that he will use his appeal to play Hollywood to kill outsiders.

Linton laughed calmly. "It's not sure yet."

That is to keep this in mind. If the external investors are naive enough, they will certainly start. No one in Hollywood can't play this game.

"I'll talk about it later." Song Ya didn't dare to agree. Instead, he asked, "did you say that other Disney film companies would help?"? The touchstone

"No Linton shook his head. "Miramax."

"Harvey Weinstein? Is he willing to? " Song Ya asked and remembered that Harvey Weinstein always liked to laugh at David Geffen behind his back, so he might be friends with Linton, who had a bad relationship with carsenberg.

"It's OK for me to ask him to help pay for one or two million." Sure enough, Linton answered firmly.

"That guy..." Song Ya thought of the red sofa theory that the other side had said when he fooled himself. "People are very interesting, but they are too cunning and have some color."

"Ha ha, he's not just a little bit of color. He is now the king of the independent film distribution circle in the United States. He is an expert in winning awards. When foreign films come to the United States for distribution, he also likes to find him. No one can beat him with his small and broad abilities. Have you read the vulgar novels of the cut film just released in October? The production cost of his release is 8 million yuan, and the global box office may exceed 100 million... " Linton said with a smile: "if you take a few more prizes, it's possible to go up to 200 million."

"That movie has Bruce Willie, John Travolta, and Samuel Jackson. How does an eight million budget make it?" Song Ya didn't watch the movie, but after hearing a lot of relevant news, he couldn't think about it. "Christopher woken is willing to play a supporting role with a low salary."

"That's the charm of Harvey, the director and the script. With a good script and a good prize operator, movie stars are naturally willing to take the initiative to reduce their pay for films." "In particular, former superstars like Bruce Willie, who have suffered setbacks in their career and are eager to turn over from word-of-mouth movies, have made several major productions in recent years, the ultimate sharp soldier, the night..."

"A vulgar novel may make an Oscar?" Song Ya asked.

"It's not possible. Harvey has a lot of influence at the Oscars and Cannes if he wants to. In the late 1980s, he released the "sex lie video" and helped the film win Cannes, nominated Oscar and achieved certain commercial success. Originally, independent films had a general living environment in the United States. Inspired by this incident, he had more than 40 independent films to be released in 1990. Since then, he has established his position in the independent film industry. Later, he has often been in the independent film industry To help European art film operators to be listed in the United States, the judges of the major film awards had a preference for art films. ""What's the annual amount of Hollywood's big commercial movies?" Linton said? How many bright winners can there be? In fact, most people in the film industry are struggling in the circle of small budget B-rated films or independent films in Hollywood. People need him as the biggest buyer, and he is very good at taking advantage of everyone's support. "

"I see. I thought he was just giving the Oscars a little gift."

Song Ya didn't have to hide, "I've learned, and I'm going to use this to rush for the Oscars for best original song. By the way, can you help too? "

"No problem."

Linton readily agreed, "but only this move is useless. Harvey's means are far more than giving small gifts. This is a deep knowledge aplus needs extraordinary social energy. After Harvey joins us in Disney, he doesn't have to worry about the joint hanging of the seven National Congress." "And don't forget that the quality of the film itself is the foundation, and public relations behavior is just the icing on the cake. Everyone at the major film awards can see and hear, and no one can go too far," Linton said

"What else does he have?" Song Ya asked.

"If I could figure it out, I wouldn't still be the president of Hollywood." Linton slapped song Ya's arm with a smile and said, "no one will show you how to look after your family."

"You are modest, Mr Linton."

Song Ya knew that he was the president of Disney publishing company. This guy just failed in the internal struggle of the company. Now the enemy karsenberg has left Disney. William Morris and yelemov are optimistic about him. He helps Hollywood film industry get more resources from Disney.

That's why I'm willing to cooperate with him at the level of 20 million, right? "Last question..."

They stood at the door and chatted for a long time, "will owitz of CAA affect us when he takes over Disney?"

"Don't worry, as long as Mr. Eisner doesn't die on the operating table, Disney will always be his." Said Linton.
