Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 81: Stardust-Orion

   Before coming to USC to attend the celebration party of "Fatal Bend", Judy Foster had a foreboding that he would receive some script invitations.

   No way, who made this a Boy Scout training camp for the Hollywood film industry!

  Countless young people with movie dreams are studying here. There are a few dreamers whose hearts are higher than the sky and want to soar into the sky with a script. What's so strange?

   If you are holding the script and hope that Judy’s "egg" production company will invest in it, then the actress is still interested in seeing it, but if you want to invite her to play...

   "The chicks who don't know the heights of the sky always have to go through several storms and setbacks!"

   Actually, even with Judy’s current coffee position, picking up the movie is by no means an easy task. In many cases, her agent would rather she not pick up movies and take a longer break than she would pick up movies indiscriminately.

   There is no way, it may take a long time to climb to her current position, but it can fall, but it only takes two failed movies at most.

   Hollywood may give people a second chance, but it will never be generous enough to have a third time.

   Therefore, everything must be cautious.

   However, no matter how careful, after reading about the new script that Charlotte handed over, Judy was still a little dumbfounded—

   Although a bit weird, it is indeed an interesting story!

   Judy has already confirmed this very much. What is strange to her is, why did Charlotte show her the script in the first place?

  —She is very confident about this judgment. After all, if someone from another company has read the script and plans to start a project, then director Charlotte will never be the only one who comes to her.

   Or did people from other companies not read this script?

   shouldn't be enough!

   In Judy’s view, once the script is filmed, there is definitely a chance that it can become a box office bomb in low-cost movies.

  Those people in large and medium-sized companies are so unsightly?

   Judy, who has worked with them many times, dare not think so.

   Normally, this kind of script that is close to the mid-range investment limit should be invested in Xinxian and others even if it is not invested in the seven major companies such as Fox.

   Anyway, Judy doesn't think that his own "egg" company will be the first choice of directors and screenwriters, especially when representatives of Fox and New Line are at the party.

   In fact, production companies such as "egg" founded by celebrities often wait behind large and medium-sized film companies and eat some leftovers.

   When the big companies have decided on the script and the director, and started to formally prepare for the funds, it is often the moment when their small companies enter the game.

  —They are the mobs who are in charge of standing under the banner of the opposing party. They can follow up, but they rarely have the opportunity to become an organizer.

   "The script is really good, but Westwood shouldn't read this script, right?"

   Judy glanced at the producer of the new line company who was talking to his alumni in the distance, and raised his own question.

   In her opinion, Charlotte and Mr. Westwood worked very happily in the movie "Fatal Turn". If there is no reason, the former would never bypass the latter to find himself.

   This is what she wants to know now.

   "Tony has some personal issues that need to be resolved."

   Charlotte didn’t explain it very clearly, of course, he didn’t lie either—

   Whether it is a decision to retire or leave, it can be said to be a personal reason, and this is indeed one reason why Charlotte did not talk to Mr. Westwood about his new script for the time being.

   Of course, the more important thing is—

   "We hope you can help us introduce Orion to participate in production preparations."

   Knowing that the young lady in front of her is not a fool, Charlotte simply stated her purpose directly.

   Orion, like Xinxian, is a medium-sized Hollywood film and television company, and it is considered a member of the second group behind the Big Seven.

   Different from the new line that later became famous because of the "Lord of the Rings", Orion has gradually declined after experiencing a glorious period in the early 1990s, and finally disappeared.

   However, in 1994, Orion is still a good production company, and its strength is equal to that of the new line.

   "Orion? My relationship with them is really good!"

  Judy Foster responded to Charlotte's words.

  Actually, at this point in time, the relationship between Orion and Foster is indeed very good, because the Oscar-winning film "The Silent Lamb" starring in the latter was produced and released by the former.

   "However, when you say that you introduce it, does it mean that new line companies will also enter the game?"

  —This woman is really hard to deal with!

   Charlotte gave a wry smile without refuting it.

   His plan to change the sky is not without loopholes in the details. The biggest one is how to get two medium and large companies, including Xinxian, into the game at the same time.

   Just as the big beasts have their own territories and seldom directly conflict with each other, there is also a certain tacit understanding between the seven major Hollywood studios and some of the more powerful medium-sized film companies—

   They try to avoid entering the same movie project at the same time, so as to avoid disputes over dominance.

   This is not an explicit stipulation, nor is it a hidden rule. It is purely a means of reducing unnecessary struggles among large companies.

   In fact, when encountering projects with good prospects, there will be competition among multiple companies. However, once the struggle is over, the losing party will often withdraw the investment and leave it to small investors such as Judy Foster's "Egg" production company.

   This is not out of **** self-esteem, but purely to save money and pursue profit-the same funds can be used in projects they can lead, and medium and large companies can make more money.

   Therefore, only a few film projects will have two large and medium-sized film companies in the list of investors. That is generally because both parties have insufficient funds at the same time, and they are very optimistic about the same project.

   Fortunately, according to the news recently collected by Charlotte, the capital chain of the new line company is relatively tight-otherwise they will not have another crooked idea of ​​delaying the share.

   "You want to use the power of Orion to check and balance the new line!"

   Judy Foster’s tone is not a question, UU reading www.uukanshu. com is affirmative. There was the shrewdness of a businessman in her eyes.

   "Can you tell me why?"

  —In terms of film investment, the actress is generally more cautious. She still feels uneasy if she doesn't figure out this issue.

   Charlotte pondered about this, but felt that he could actually tell the truth. Anyway, the other party will be able to investigate it sooner or later, and the vice of the new line's payment arrears is neither a secret, nor is it a day or two.

   "We intend to divide the previous movies into investment shares that will be converted into new movies, and then cash out!"

   "New line is going to owe movie share again?"

   Judy finally got it.

  At the same time, she also realized why Charlotte would show her the script of the new movie in the first place—

   This is not only asking for help, but also a reward for helping!

   If Judy is invited by Charlotte next, then as the pioneer of the film project, she and her "egg" company will definitely get more revenue and more dominance in the project. And this is the premise of bringing Orion into the game.

  —Without the support of Orion, which has a good relationship with her, even if Judy is the first advocate of the project, she can't seize the initiative in the face of the old gangsters and new lines in medium-sized companies.

   So, if she wants to get the reward Charlotte will give next, she must pull Orion on the thief ship.

   And this is exactly what Charlotte had originally expected.

   "This is really a bait that people have to bite!"

   knew that taking this script meant that he had to deal with a series of troubles later, but in order to let his "egg" production company grow as soon as possible, and also for his own desire to produce independently, Judy chose to agree.
