Best Actor

Vol 2 Chapter 269: inventory

    Maintaining the momentum sounds simple, but it is not so easy to do, especially for a production company like Samsara Pictures, which can be regarded as making rapid progress. No matter whether you make a movie, a TV series, or a reality show, it is essentially the same as gambling. No one can be sure whether it will be popular before it is released. Even if you can get the audience to the cinema through various publicity methods, if you are not liked by the public, then after all It will still be spurned, and even further affect the company's reputation.

    Therefore, even second-tier film companies are cautious about big productions. Miramax's biggest investment is "Cold Mountain" with more than 70 million yuan, and the North American box office has not yet passed. 100 million, it is already very good to have a profit at the overseas box office. The new line is also lucky to encounter the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The 300 million investment has brought many enviable profits, but even so, once there is a huge loss, it is still a painful thing.

    And even the big studios are now changing their operating policies, minimizing direct investment, supporting small production companies, and then focusing on distribution. In this case, if you want to have a few hundred percent of a movie every year, let alone a few hundred percent, it is a 100 percent profit, which is not an easy goal for ordinary production companies. Maybe a movie loses money. Fill in all the previous profits.

    However, the boss of Samsara Pictures is Sean. Basically, several high-box and high-ratings movies and TV series have an inseparable relationship with him.

    "As long as you can continue to provide...well...your intuition, we can keep the momentum going," Vladimir said.

    Well, if Sean gets another crystal ball and puts on a big cloak, he can pretend to be a gypsy and divination.

    But it doesn't matter, Sean doesn't care, as long as it helps the company's development, it's not difficult to spend more time reading the script. For example, the first episode of "Doctor House" that he was interested in has already completed the production of the first episode, and was picked up by NBC after threading the needle, but he still has to participate in the exhibition in May because he still has to attract advertisers.

    What's more, Vladimir is not a dry eater. For example, after the live-action version of "Transformers" was in trouble, and it was certain that he could not solve it for a while, he quickly shifted his target and unexpectedly met with senior Producer James Rust is co-financing Will Smith's new work, a romantic comedy called Rivals in Love.

    Since 1994's "Jedi Men", Will Smith has been proving his worth, and now he is one of Hollywood's most box-office male stars.

      Never did a comedy.

    Then, Vladimir took the opportunity to intervene, and Samsara Pictures became one of the producers.

    Sean naturally agrees with both hands, because Smith is one of the few black male stars in Hollywood who has a strong box office appeal, so he has some understanding of his previous life, and he also knows that in the first ten years of the new century In 2010, he basically had no loss-making movies. In this case, the investment in Fledimir was naturally applauded.

    It is great to have such a person as the CEO of my company.

      Sentence, did not expect to actually pick up a cheap.

    Although Sean doesn't remember the film's performance, his intuition tells him that it will not be much worse. Therefore, the production company's profit on the film next year is also guaranteed.

      Whether the work can be sold as well as the previous life, sometimes just repaying the favor is enough of a headache.

    For example, UPN proposed this year that it wanted to cooperate with Samsara Pictures on a campus detective drama, but Sean didn't think it was very good after reading the script, but it was difficult to refuse.

    Although the previous "America's Next Top Model" was a reciprocal cooperation, each got what they wanted and profits, but Vladimir still owed a few favors, not to mention his own movie production When promoting, UPN also gave some convenience.

    "You don't have to worry about this time, if it doesn't work, I will refuse." He was very generous, but Sean didn't plan to do it.

    Several major studios either have a TV station in their parent company, or have their own channels, so there are natural advantages in publicity. Although the second-tier production company can also cooperate with the TV station, when there is a conflict, the other party will definitely give priority to the big studio.

    Although UPN's ratings are not high and its coverage is not wide, Paramount often cooperates directly with CBS when promoting, so it may not be able to see UPN, but for Samsara It is a good partner for the film industry, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship.

     

    Intuition tells him that although the ratings of this TV series are not very good, it will not be unbearably bad, and the investment is not high, UPN is looking for them to cooperate to share the risk , then promise.

    However, another TV series is not so easy to deal with, that is, the one that Wahlberg intends to work with Sean, and adapted into a TV series based on his own experiences.

    Walberg managed to get his agent and Sean, and finally started preparations, but he couldn't find any TV station he was interested in. Basically, most people think that there is not much to watch in this TV series, the life of a star? The gossip tabloids have it, and it's even more exciting.

    In fact, Vladimir also privately told Sean that from his experience, the ratings of this TV series will be somewhat, but not too high.

    After reading the first draft of the script, Sean also agreed with him, but he has already agreed, and it is not easy to change his words, and he still thinks that this TV series will not be like "Desperate Housewives" It's a hit, and it won't be too bad.

    Probably, Sean also saw his own shadow in the script. After all, he, Galen, Sanders, and the others also traveled from San Francisco to Los Angeles together.

    Fortunately, Wahlberg's agent is very powerful. After being persuaded by him, Ali Emmanuel began to operate. When Sean officially entered the Batman crew, HBO The news of willingness to invest and broadcast came.

    As the most well-known and best-developed cable TV station at this stage, HBO has a natural reputation. Their TV series are basically produced by themselves, such as "The Sopranos", "Band of Brothers", etc., and they are all well-known works. With their participation, Wahlberg and Sean will have a lot less pressure, and they won't have to go to trade fairs. Cable TV makes money by charging and does not need to pull advertisements - except for basic cable stations.

    Of course, the scale of TV dramas is relatively large, but this is not a big problem.

    As mentioned above, the possibility of Samsara Pictures maintaining the current momentum is still very high.

    However, because of this, the chance of Sean making mistakes is also greatly increased. McAdams, got the role because he used the same means as Jessica.

    The whole process is very simple, that is, Sean participated in the audition for the role as a producer, and then "accidentally" met this woman at a later party, and the other party boldly teased, then…

    It's only been a few days, I just promised Katie that she wouldn't mess around again, and I forgot about it right away. Sean was also very puzzled. After thinking about it, he could only attribute it to his lucky fame being fired by the New York Post, and that this woman was bold and provocative.

    Although it has now been almost three weeks since the New York Post article was published, rumors about Lucky Sean are still circulating, although the women involved in the article, or He didn't respond, or laughed, and he never said a word.

    Gossip and gossip are always eye-catching, especially this kind of gossip that looks very interesting, so many people are speculating whether Jessica will win the Oscar for best actress next year.

    Of course, this is not what Rachel McAdams wants. Aside from these, Sean is still a first-line star, a well-known producer, and also owns a lot of production companies. More importantly, With immediate interests, the heroine of "Wedding Cracker" can fight for it.

    Sean's vision is also circulating in Hollywood now. Since he has participated in the audition for the role, it is enough to explain some things. Of course, if you can get some luck from him, it will be even better .

    So Rachel was very active and bold in bed, Sean just tried a little, and went straight to all three ways, especially when blowing, looking up and using the pair of gray-blue When he looked at him with his eyes, he felt quite a bit. And accidentally sprinkled it on her face, seeing her annoyed but unable to show too much, this feeling is even better.

    Because, when discussing the heroine, Sean did not hesitate to recommend her, which is what she deserved.

    Sean really doesn't care at all, especially when I heard that when she first took the lead role in "Miss Hot", she was confused with director Tom Brady .

    In addition to this, there is also Eva Mendes. In Will Smith's first romantic comedy, there needs to be a dark-skinned heroine. Even if there is black and white in the big production, it is a white male And black women, not black men and white women, that's one of the unspoken rules. But it was too deliberate to use black women directly, so it was obviously the most suitable to find someone with Latin ancestry, so Sean thought of cooperating Eva Mendes in "Fast and Furious 2" - Jordana is too young, for sure Not suitable.

    And when Eva Mendes heard about collaborating with Will Smith, Sean posted it without any hint, and his enthusiasm was no less than Rachel, even if Xiao En was already mentally prepared, and couldn't help smacking his tongue in his heart.
