Best Actor

    After I got Gisele, I quickly negotiated with Victoria's Secret and CBS. Vladimir's ability is indeed very good, although the company's establishment is still short, he Still signed the contract.

      Although the investment figure on the website says 12 million, it will not actually exceed 9 million. This time Sean only invested a part, and then Neil helped pull a part down, and Vladimir pulled another part from the Germans.

    There is a big loophole in Germany's tax code. The government allows German-owned companies to receive tax breaks for the project immediately after investing in the film, even if the film has not yet started. The best part is that, unlike other regions, the German government does not require movies to be filmed in Germany, or to hire local actors, but only requires German companies to invest and own copyrights and enjoy future benefits.

    So the next step is simple, Hollywood studios first sell the copyright to German companies, then lease back the modified film and have the right to repurchase the modified film in the future. At this time, the German company ostensibly owned the copyright of the film, and then after a series of agreements were signed, the responsibilities and rights of the German company were restricted, and the film was still in the hands of the filmmaker.

    Although it is a nominal copyright, the German company has to pay 10% of the purchase price to the filmmaker based on this right, and the remaining 90% is the price of the filmmaker's repurchase, that is to say, The filmmakers have already received 10% of the profits before the filming begins.

    Hollywood has been using this method to get money from Germany for many years, and German companies are happy to invest because they can reduce taxes. Will choose to kill the chicken to get the eggs.

    As the former deputy director of the distribution department of Bowei Pictures, Vladimir is very familiar with these methods, and his connections have not been completely cut off, so he easily pulled in 4 million US dollars investment.

    Well, this is a digression, the key is that Vladimir first used this to express to CBS and Victoria's Secret that we are a very motivated production company, and we have been seeking development . After stabilizing them, Vladimir immediately began to contact some investment groups on Wall Street through Neil, who he knew because of Sean.

    Although Neil's investment company is still fairly well-known, he has developed a lot of contacts, inherited from his family, and met at Harvard, which is quite extensive. In addition, he also made a lot of money during the 9/11 incident. Although he didn't want to take out 10 million as the principal like Sean, he still invested several million. In addition to Sean's commission, he also earned almost 20 million. By the way He has also attracted several clients, so he is very popular.

    With his matchmaking, Vladimir has contacted several major investment groups such as ABRY and AIG, and showed them the potential of Samsara Films: You see, we are not only making new films, but also Cooperate with CBS and famous underwear brand to produce talent show. However, he turned his head to CBS to increase the weight: You see, in addition to making movies, we are still looking for investment group financing, and we are in negotiations.

      In fact, he was aware of it, but he let CBS and the others make this bet through his ability.

    Of course, some of the benefits must be given up, and some conditions are relatively harsh. For example, it can only be broadcast on UPN, which is also called conservative consideration.

    UPN is a wireless station under CBS, the program is more mixed, but the big step part is for young people, putting "America's Next Top Model" on this instead of the CBS main station seems to be right The program has little impact. Sean really hopes to be broadcast on the main channel, in that case, he might be able to play against "Pop Idol" and make the show attract more attention.

      .And for us, how to start the TV production is the most important, there is no need to do unnecessary competition."

    Think about it carefully, although a little unwilling, but Sean also admits that Vladimir is right, just from the support of TV stations, "Pop Idol" will "American" "Supermodel Contest" throws out a cut. Even if Sean and the others made a version from another country to test the water, and the data looked good, Redstone never saw a daughter who liked the show and recommended it to her father.

    No matter how good the idea is, it must be based on strength, although there is still more than half a year to produce, and I believe that the TV department can produce a good program - generally speaking, new TV series And the programs are all broadcast in the fall, and most of the spring broadcasts are not finished in the previous season. Although it is not that there are no new TV dramas and new programs broadcast in the spring, most of them are used for emergency relief, and the ratings are also very average, so if you want to get a good start, it is the most appropriate to broadcast in the autumn. .

    But the shortcomings of the show itself, coupled with CBS's reluctance to take more risks, makes it difficult to get on the main stage. Put it in UPN, let's put it in UPN, let's talk about it after the results are made, and Vladimir has more acquaintances there, so he can get more convenience.

    Although this aspect was limited, other aspects went well, and Adriana Lima agreed.

    "I really can't see through you, Sean, you were just an actor a year ago." Adriana looked at Sean curiously, and then said.

      blush. It's normal to talk about things and go to bed. Sean and Giselle didn't go to bed while talking. As I said before, he just has the ability to make women put down their guard, not to mention He rolled over the sheets with her more than once.

    "Thank you for the compliment, it's an honor to be told that by you." Sean laughed, and the hand on her waist began to wander again.

    Victoria's Secret models, if nothing else, have at least a first-class body, not like the morbid skinny beauty that is popular in the modeling circle now, the plump plump, the thin Thin, very well-proportioned. Of course, there are still differences. Although Adriana has slender legs that are not lost to Giselle, and they are also round and elastic, unfortunately she loses a lot in terms of clamping force.

    In the first place, I was caught off guard, but Giselle used those long legs to shove it hard, and then I was ecstatic. Sean, who couldn't hold it, immediately threw it out and let Jisele go. Searle was complacent for a long time. Although Sean then rallied and killed her to the point of losing her armor and armor, it was undeniable that he was deeply impressed by the other party's long, taut legs.

    But if you really have to choose, Sean will still choose Adriana. Gisele is very similar to Sean to a certain extent. It seems that the development is smooth sailing, and they have the energy to not admit defeat. So after more contact, Sean feels like he is looking in the mirror. Except for the jealous guy who is narcissistic, I am afraid that no one will want to date and sleep with someone similar to him, even if the other person is a good woman.

    In addition, Giselle is very independent and will not be at the mercy of others, which is similar to Sean. Adriana is different. She is not much different from ordinary models and is easily influenced, so if she is selected as one of the judges, once Gisele becomes stronger, the producers can pull Adriana over. to balance this state of affairs.

    Victoria's Secret also has a tacit attitude towards this matter. After all, although Giselle is the top card, her interests are not exactly the same as theirs.

    Besides, although the strength of Adriana's legs is not comparable to Giselle's, it is not much worse, and she is more beautiful than Giselle no matter what. Of course, while Sean doesn't mind rolling a couple more times with the top model whenever possible, take the opportunity to enjoy the ecstasy and spin.

    Things on the company's side have come to an end for the time being, although the show is still early, the remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" will not start until the end of January, and the financing negotiations are even more Still a work in progress, but Sean believes Vladimir can handle it all.

    So let's think about my own business now, my acting career, he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award again for "Dance of Death Row", but I am afraid it is still a long way to win the award Indefinitely, the Best Supporting Actor is not classified into plot and musical comedy, but Sean has not summed up his performance style for a while.

    From Harrington, Sean has not received much guidance. In fact, he already understands everything in theory, but it is not easy to do. Just like what he said to his mother, he understood some things, and if it was his own words, he would make that choice, but emotionally he couldn't accept it.

    Not to mention that I have to sum up my own things. The reason why I took on several roles last year was to find my own direction. If he can't find it, it's nothing right now. He can play any role now, but when this good state or peak period is over, it may be a waste of time.

    This is why Sean will be very depressed after hearing that "Sniper Phone Booth" has been postponed. He has a lot of expectations for this movie. This is his one-man show, and he supports the whole movie alone. , he would like to know how critics and audiences will comment and feel after watching it.

    But the **** Fox postponed the movie for his own TV series. It's really annoying, but unfortunately, he can't do anything, he can only focus on the upcoming works On, such as the one that will be at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
