Head to head Hollywood 940 Author Qian Duxue Full text 2495 words

"A big gift?" Leonardo still couldn't figure it out. Dunn patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "From the perspective of values, it is still difficult for a movie of the type "The Departed" to win the favor of Oscar. But well... don't forget, Oscar is Hollywood's Oscar The Oscars are not only the cultural export window of the United States, but also represent the dignity of Hollywood!" Leonardo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood. Today's event will definitely be a big deal! It is conceivable that within 24 hours, the entertainment news around the world will launch a large-scale report on this matter, and the voice of the debate between "The Departed" and "Infernal Affairs" will become stronger and stronger. It can be said that this is the purpose of Hong Kong government filmmakers. It is really a great honor to be able to compare and compare films of the same level as "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs". This is an Oscar-level movie. Looking at the Chinese-speaking world, how many movies can have such a level? This is a shot in the arm for the declining Hong Kong government film market. Fans all over the world, when watching "The Departed", if they can also have some interest in "The Departed", it will have a huge influence on Hong Kong films. There are many benefits. To put it bluntly, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, which is convenient for speculation. However, for Hollywood, it is a bit of a loss. Martin Scorsese is Hollywood's top master director. Actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Pacino, Cate Blanchett and others are Hollywood's first-class actors. Comparing a top Hollywood production with an investment of 100 million US dollars and a star-studded "The Departed" with a Hong Kong film with an investment of only 5 million Hong Kong dollars is not a comparison, it is an irony. In particular, there are still many skeptical voices, who think "The Departed" is better than "The Departed". This is even more intolerable. This is no longer aimed at the movie "The Departed" or the film's producer, Dunn Films, but at the collective face of Hollywood! Belittling a top Hollywood movie in favor of a shoddy Hong Kong movie? At such a moment, Oscar will definitely stand in Hollywood's position, high-profile and firm to maintain Hollywood's decency and dignity! The name of "The Departed" must be righted through the Oscars, the highest hall of the world's movies! Hollywood is Oscar, Oscar is Hollywood! The next story can be imagined. "Infernal Affairs" won't get any nominations even if it is sent to the Oscars for best foreign language film. Not only did they fail to get nominations, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" dared to appear on the scene of the trial, and they had to be ridiculed by the Hollywood media. Then, in the Oscar selection process, "The Departed" will definitely win, and it will inevitably become the biggest hit! Martin Scorsese's directing style is contrary to the purpose of the Oscars. It is very difficult for him to win the final award. "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas" made a sensation in the world and were more classic than "The Departed", but unfortunately they were not selected. This time, the weather, the right place, and the people! With this farce created by Hong Kong government filmmakers, "The Departed" will definitely be the biggest focus in next year's awards season! The only focus! "So..."The Departed" will win the grand prize?" Leonardo said excitedly, his eyes brightened, and his voice lowered. Tang En said with a smile: "What do you think? However, even if there is no such thing as today, I have the confidence to push "The Departed" up." Leonardo said with a deep opinion: "Yes, yes, the movie was shot so well. , it's too much to say if you don't win the award. Then...that...the actor you promised me..." Dunn laughed and said, "In such a hurry?" Leonardo shrugged, "I'm getting married, it's better... ...It's a good harvest for both career and love." Dunn nodded and glanced at him, "Have you agreed with Gisele?" Leonardo's expression changed slightly, and he didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, "Yes. Now, this trip to the Hong Kong government is not all bad. By tomorrow at the latest, entertainment news from all over the world will rush to report this. This is just hype, maybe the box office of "The Departed" will be even higher!" Tang En Indifferently said: "No matter how high the box office is, you can't get dividends." Art films rarely talk about dividends. Leonardo's salary in "The Departed" is 20 million US dollars. Only in "Inception" such In commercial films, he will take a large share of the box office. Leonardo raised his neck, "I'm still a shareholder of New Universal! I subscribed a lot of shares at the beginning. Dunn, you said that when New Universal is listed, can I join the board of directors?" "You?" Dunn laughed Looking at him, "Do you think you can do it?" Leonardo thought about it seriously, and then shook his head, "Forget it, with this time, it's better to know more long-legged models." Tang En's eyes narrowed slightly, "Giselle agrees?" Leonardo said "um". Tang En said with a smile: "The Hong Kong government is the last stop. The promotion of "The Departed" is over. Where are you going next? Would you like to go to the north with me?" "Mainland?" "Yes." "No. Go, I'm not interested, Gisele and I are going to Hawaii for vacation." "Okay, I wish you a happy wedding." "What are you doing in the mainland?" "I was invited to talk about the reform of the mainland's film market." "Amazing!" ...The mainland has a very large population base, and the economy is developing very rapidly. The prospects of the tourism industry are very promising. As early as 1999, Disney had intentionally contacted the Chinese government and planned to build a Disneyland in the magic capital. However, the amount of money involved in this project was too large, and even the magic city government did not have enough authority, and it rose to the highest level. For such a large foreign-funded enterprise, China's requirement is that it must take the lead. Disney's commitment to the tourism industry, especially Disneyland, can be said to be killing the whole world. When have you encountered such a threshold? The project was shelved because of the great disagreement between the two parties in terms of controlling rights. This also gave Dunn a chance. He knew that China could not give in! The Disneyland in the previous life went through many struggles. Later, as China’s development got better and better, Disney finally couldn’t bear it anymore. It had to bow its head and give up the controlling stake. China and Disney accounted for 57% and 43% of the equity respectively. To put it bluntly, Magic Capital Disney is actually a Chinese company, and the majority of its holdings are the local government. A real estate tycoon made a rhetoric to make the magic capital Disney unprofitable within ten years... Probably because he was so crazy that he had no brains, and it was inevitable to be cleaned up. Tang En didn't have so many entanglements. When it was time to give in, he gave in as soon as possible. The Hengdian Film and Television Base invested by Warner also only holds 30% of the shares. At this time, it is no problem to take the initiative to compromise and get 49% of the shares. In a few years, it can only be like Disney, with fewer and fewer share quotas. Of course, in terms of profit distribution, it must not be distributed according to the proportion of equity. According to the standards of Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland, a management company is usually set up, with a profit of 73%. The Hollywood side holds the core brand and trademark copyright, and has an absolute advantage in the management and profit distribution of amusement parks. Universal Studios is now far from being a rival to Disneyland. Tang En came to China, intending to do this. Even if you make some more concessions, you must take down the tourism real estate project of the magic city! . Nine Heavens God Empero
