Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 294: Hollywood deal

Although as the screenwriter, director, and one of the three major producers of "Dropped Head", Charlotte does not account for much of the investment in this film after all.

Therefore, the box office income is okay to say that in the follow-up video tapes and other peripheral income, he only has a small share as a director.

In that regard, Judy Foster, the first producer and the powerful Paramount, is the one who gets the big head.

From this point of view, in order to increase the follow-up peripheral income of "Drophead Valley", Paramount's public relations with Oscars seems reasonable.

But the problem is that "Drifthead Vale" is not a real son of Paramount Pictures.

Take the videotape income as an example. Scraping Charlotte is purely a small part of the hard money, sharing the profits with Paramount, and there is Judy Foster.

Charlotte believes that if she is Shirley Lansing, she will definitely take back the share of Judy Foster before she can spend the money on the public relations of "Guillotine Valley". .

And Andrew Kevin Walker also confirmed his guess-

"Before the Oscar public relations, we did reach an agreement with Miss Foster."

He raised his wine glass to cover his eyes,

"Paramount's terms of supporting the best public relations film and a series of cooperation agreements, plus part of the cost, have obtained the half of the copyright of "Driftwood Valley" in Miss Foster's hands."

"She sold the copyright?"

Charlotte was surprised, and then reacted.

"It seems that Miss Shadow Queen has great ambitions in the field of production!"

"You really understand!"

Andrew Kevin Walker laughed.

Just like what the two said, Judy Foster sold the copyright of "Dropped Head", although it lost the long-term interests, it was not short-sighted.

On the contrary, this highlights her ambition.

To put it simply, as a newcomer in the field of production, Judy Foster is still in the stage of seeking fame.

Rather than taking half of the copyright of "Dropped Head", exchanging it, and using the title of Oscar for best film to gain prestige, so as to obtain more investment and more opportunities to make good movies, and to ambitious It's even more advantageous for the young lady.

After all, although the best picture of the Oscar is the honor of the entire crew, it is the producer, especially the first producer, who went up to receive the trophy...

What's more, it can also use this to reach a series of cooperation agreements with Paramount, one of Hollywood's top seven.

And it is estimated that the compensation cost will not be too small.

——Judy Foster is not at all disadvantaged.

Of course, as the other side of the transaction, Paramount will not lose.

Paramount Pictures, which is a big business, no longer need to advertise for themselves. For them, tangible actual profits are what they need.

And this is also the basis for the two parties to reach an agreement-

One seeks fame and the other seeks profit. This can be described as a win-win situation.

"Two women, Shirley Lansing and Judy Foster..."

Charlotte shook her head.

Charlotte had already guessed why they both avoided themselves and reached an agreement secretly.

This does not involve Charlotte's actual interests, what it does is nothing more than Oscar's public relations.

Just like Charlotte's own analysis, the seven nominations for "Drifthead Valley" actually have little advantage.

Specific to the three best actor and actress and the best director, it can be said that the disadvantages are obvious.

Without other factors, Charlotte and the others must have given up public relations.

After all, public relations also cost money. There is no hope, so why waste dollars?

But what if Charlotte knew about Paramount's best PR film?

The cunning Shirley Lansing is probably afraid that Charlotte and the others will take advantage of the public relations, but disperse the power invested in the best film.

And Judy Foster, who maintains a cooperative relationship with Charlotte, is probably acquiesced!

After all, this did not harm Charlotte's actual interests.

In fact, Charlotte really doesn't care much about it.

As he himself estimated, he really has no advantage in the best director award.

And Charlize's best actress is even more so.

As for Depp...

Forget it, don't care about him!

In short, Charlotte shouldn't be concerned because others use things that she doesn't get for profit.

For a moment, he even felt a little depressed by being treated like a villain to the belly of a gentleman.

However, in the next moment he realized that this seemed to be an opportunity to hold back——

After all, since Shirley Lansing and Judy Foster wanted to hide from him, it proved that these two women were a bit too shrewd and had a guilty conscience.

Can he take advantage of this opportunity?

Even if Paramount and Judy Foster owe him personal love, it's not bad!

Thinking of this, Charlotte pretended to make a face.

"Andrew, you reached an agreement without hiding from me, didn't you..."

——Sure enough!

Andrew Kevin Walker sighed in his heart.

He didn't really agree with the fact that Charlotte and Judy Foster reached an agreement without telling the truth.

But that can indeed avoid some troubles during Oscar public relations, so he has no objection.

It's just that he understands that this will definitely give Charlotte an excuse for making trouble.

Although Charlotte doesn't have anything to master about Paramount, it is still necessary to have a good relationship with a major commercial film director who is on the rise.

In particular, the failure to compete with Warner Bros. for the investment and distribution rights of Charlotte's new film "Sixth Sense" some time ago made Paramount even more aware of Charlotte's value as a director.

In this case, there is no need to provoke Charlotte.

Therefore, Andrew's party at Vanity Fair today is also accompanied by the task of appeasing Charlotte.

"Our main purpose of keeping secrets is not to hide from you, but to reduce the attention of opponents during public relations."

Andrew explained.

If possible, he didn't want to give Charlotte any practical promises in exchange for understanding. He relied more on his own three-inch tongue.

Besides, what Andrew said was right--

Unlike ordinary Chong'ao movies, as a commercial movie, "Driftwood" does not require large-scale public relations to let the judges know themselves.

——As the North American box office champion of the year in 1995, the popularity of this movie is high enough.

Therefore, the public relations of "Drop Head Valley" are really "public relations" in a narrow sense, and in popular terms are canvassing and squeezing money.

In the United States, a certain degree of "public relations" is allowed. After all, this is indispensable even in the four-year elections. How can Oscar be alone?

However, the grasp of "public relations" ~www.readwn.com~ is very difficult to grasp. If you are not careful, you will become a bribe and election if you cross the line.

Although the person involved will not take the initiative to speak out as long as they are not mentally disabled, this is Hollywood!

There is no shortage of reporters in the world!

Don’t say that the line is really crossed, but if there is no cross line, the reporters will find ways to cross the line for the report...

In this case, in order to avoid being caught by the competitor, the lower-key public relations action is naturally, the less people know the better.

Although total secrecy is impossible, it is always good to reduce the attention of opponents and the outside world.

In fact, the best film of "Guillotine Valley" this time can be said to a certain extent as a success.

Therefore, Paramount's act of concealing Charlotte's secret and reaching an agreement with Judy Foster cannot be said to be useless.

However, this is only the reason for Paramount and Judy Foster.

Charlotte was originally looking at the other party with some guilty conscience, and took the opportunity to ripped off, so naturally he would not be so "compassionate"——

"Do you doubt that I will leak the secret, Andrew?"

With a questioning sentence, he directly suppressed the eloquence behind Andrew Kevin Walker.

——What else do you say?

——We deliberately hide it from you because we are afraid that you will act in disorder! ?

Although this is the case, you can't say that, or you just cut off contact.

Andrew was a little frustrated.

He glanced at Charlotte and realized that the other person would say that, which meant he wanted to understand.

——It seems that it is impossible to not pay a price this time.
