Chapter 1410 Star Studio
One second ★Small △ said § Net], wonderful novels are free to read without pop-ups!
After resting for seven or eight hours on the plane, we arrived in Los Angeles.
At this time, it was four o'clock on the sixth day in Los Angeles, and the person who came to pick him up was Ivor Spencer, the housekeeper of Xiao Yunhai Manor Villa.
In the car, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Ivor, is there any interesting news from Hollywood recently?"
Ivor Spencer thought for a while and said, "There are a lot of them, but they are all boring news. Like this movie star and that actress have a private room, who is divorced, and who is holding a third wedding. Wait, the mess has no value. However, I heard recently that several entertainment company stars are making trouble, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's going on?"
Ivor Spencer said: "It seems to be for some personal studio. I also read it in some newspapers and magazines. It is impossible to judge whether it is true or not."
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing looked at each other, and at the same time remembered how Xiao Yunhai agreed to let him set up a personal studio in order to sign actor David Hartnett to his company.
It wouldn't be because of it that this happened.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai picked up the phone and called Raul.
"Raul, what are you busy with?"
Raul said: "Boss, I'm having a meeting with Miss Mo to discuss the issue of the artist studio."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "It's such a coincidence that I'm calling you for this reason. I just heard that many entertainers in Hollywood entertainment companies are now requesting to set up their own studios, right? Does our company have them? What happened? You can tell me."
Lauer said: "Okay. The cause of the incident is Mr. Hartnett. He..."
It turned out that since Hartnett joined Marvel, he built his own studio at his own expense.
The big move of an actor naturally attracted the attention of the Hollywood media. After many stars learned about his personal studio, they didn't care too much at first, after all, it is a new thing, who knows what the result will be.
Originally, this matter passed in such a confused way, but when a financial officer of Hartnett's personal studio counted the annual accounts, he found that Hartnett had earned 340 million US dollars in revenue in just half a year. So, I took a photo of it and posted it online.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and no one thought that a star studio could make 340 million US dollars, not counting David Hannett's remuneration and advertising expenses, so Hollywood's eyes were all focused on David Hannett. On Hartnett.
Those movie stars and queens came to him to learn from him. David Hartnett was very troubled, but he couldn't do anything about it.
After learning about the entire operation process of their individual studios, these big Hollywood stars are not calm at the moment.
Although most of them are members of the tens of millions of dollars club, in a year, they can make up to three films, and even if they add advertising revenue, they can finally get $200 million after tax.
And David Hartnett's personal studio made 340 million US dollars in half a year. It is conceivable how much impact it will have on their hearts.
As a result, these movie kings and queens, and even some first-line stars,
They all found their own owners and asked to set up their own studios under the company.
The best actor and actress can say that the company itself can only extract 10% of the profits from them. As long as he is still in his company, they can do whatever they want. But those first-tier and second-tier stars are not good enough. Most of the company's income comes from them. How can they be allowed to do so.
As a result, the conflicts between artists and companies have arisen, but most of them are among those second- and third-rate entertainment companies, and artists like those giants have not yet had the courage to bargain with them.
But as long as the artists of those companies are successful, they will definitely join forces to compete with the parent company.
So everyone is waiting for things to develop.
Most of Hollywood's media is in the hands of giants, and Ivor Spencer can only learn something from some unpopular magazines.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Raul, how can David's studio make so much money?"
Lauer said: "Boss, Mr. Hannett made three literary films in the second half of last year. One failed miserably and lost 60 million US dollars. He acted in person and made a huge profit of 400 million US dollars. After subtracting the 60 million from the loss, it is exactly 340 million. In this way, those big stars who think they are amazing are red-eyed, which makes the artists and their The company has a conflict."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Then what mentality do our Marvel artists still have?"
Raul said: "Let Miss Mo tell you about this matter."
Mo Yina is the manager of Marvel's agency, and she is naturally very familiar with artists, so she is the most appropriate.
"Sister Mo, long time no see."
Mo Yina snorted and said, "Boss, it's good that you know."
In public places, Mo Yina still knows how to act, and she always calls Xiao Yunhai the boss. But in private, it's different. For a while the sea of clouds, for a while that guy, what kind of names are available.
The two laughed for a while, and Xiao Yunhai asked, "Sister Mo, what's the situation with the artists now?"
Mo Yina's tone was a little dignified, and said: "They didn't talk to me about this issue formally, but I know that they are talking about it in private, and there has been a great change in their psychology. This personal studio you have set up is not right for you. Their attraction is so great that if I were them, I would definitely choose to be my own boss."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Why do I hear you complaining a little about me? However, let me tell you, it's not that easy to set up a personal studio. After David's luck this time, he made three films, one of which was one. It's a big sell, but they don't think about it. If the third film is also finished, then David will not lose money. You have to talk to the artists about this matter, and don't let them think that setting up a personal studio is a guaranteed profit. It's a lot more risky than an entertainment company."
Mo Yina smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think they will listen to me? Now that all Hollywood is red-eyed, who would want to lose money. Not only artists, but directors want to set up studios."
Xiao Yunhai said: "It seems that I have to go to your place to hold a meeting. In this way, Sister Mo, you invite all the company's artists over tomorrow, and I will go and talk to them in person. This issue must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the more The bigger the procrastination problem is. By the way, what is David doing now? No filming, right?"
Mo Yina said, "No."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay, I must call him in tomorrow's meeting. Let him handle the trouble this kid caused. I don't care about other companies, our company must not have problems. Forget it, I'll give it to him. let's hit."
Mo Yina said: "Okay. By the way, "King Kong" directed by Bikoven will premiere in North America at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Since you are here, are you going to stand on the stage for him?"
In order to establish himself as the chief director of Marvel Comics, Beekwen was extremely strict with the filming of "King Kong", and every shot was guaranteed to be perfect, not to mention post-production, which almost reached the point of nitpicking. So despite all the hard work the Magic VFX crew did for his film, it was still very slow, and it wasn't finalized until last month.
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "We'll talk about this after meeting with Director Beekwen tomorrow."
