Ace Hollywood

On the eve of MGM's launch, Hollywood was rocked by another blockbuster. www.geiliwx.com (The best experience of reading novels without pop-up windows is in [Fiction])

The Weinstein Brothers and Disney have officially parted ways.

Harvey and Bob, who were standing at the door of Miramax Films, were surrounded by media reporters, and their faces were not particularly heavy and depressed. Obviously, this protracted conflict can be ended, which is what their brothers are willing to see. matter.

"Yes, we just agreed with Disney that Harvey and I are leaving Miramax, but we're not leaving Hollywood and ending our careers. We're creating a new studio, Weinstein Pictures , to relive our cinematic dreams. Weinstein and Miramax still have some projects together, but they will be two completely separate entities…”

Watching Bob make a statement to the media in a flat tone, Daniel shook his head.

Robert Iger is more and more like Michael Eisner. Although he became the head of Disney earlier this time, nothing has changed, whether it is the conflict with the Miramax Weinstein brothers or the relationship with Pixar. differences. However, Daniel is also not sure that what Robert is doing is wrong. In fact, the kind of acquisition that Robert has taken has propelled Disney to become Hollywood's greatest company in the future - no doubt No. 1.

The dramatic changes in the Hollywood pattern will undoubtedly completely change the original pattern.

Whether it is dd Pictures' acquisition of MGM, or Paramount's acquisition of DreamWorks Pictures, or now, the Weinstein brothers and their team start anew, it will profoundly change the ecological environment of the entire Hollywood.

...

"MGM will hire Mr. Ron Mayer as the company's chief executive officer, and the new management will be formed by Mr. Mayer himself."

"MGM will start shooting 6 works this year, including the new 007 series and the movie "Black Swan" that will invite Natalie Portman to star in everyone's attention."

"MGM and dd will operate independently, but dd's distribution system will be integrated into MGM's global distribution system, and the new distribution department will have the ability to release 15 to 20 films per year."

"..."

"MGM Studios will begin negotiations with Warner Bros., including but not limited to MGM's sale of exclusive licenses to MGM and DD Pictures to Warner."

Daniel personally attended the press conference and read out the major news one by one.

Ron Mayer, senior vice president of Universal Pictures. He once left the caa brokerage company he co-founded, and now he will bid farewell to Universal Pictures, which allowed him to start a new career, and join the uncertain future of the new MGM. This is a far-reaching industry news.

Daniel despite not making a list. But MGM has confirmed plans for 6 new films, including the "007" series, which is obviously in line with the previous "New York Times" speculation about Daniel's actions-everything is expected, no impulse, no blood, acquisition MGM is well thought out by dd Pictures and Daniel. With a well-prepared move, now it's up to Daniel to maintain his undefeated myth. After all, no matter how brilliant your past was, it is still difficult to give people a sense of security and convincing when entering a completely different realm.

Daniel confirmed that Natalie Portman will star in "Black Swan", which has become very popular because of Darren's intervention, as well as the cooperation between Rachel and Daniel, of course, the most important thing is to return to being single Daniel. Unclear relationship with Natalie. Denied? Denial does not represent truth.

In Hollywood, not only the words of the media and reporters can't be trusted, but also the words of stars can't be trusted at all.

They say they don't have drugs, they don't throw wild parties, they don't have extravagant lives, they still believe in love, they're pure - obviously, these are all lies.

The merger of MGM and DD Pictures' distribution system is a very important issue for the industry.

After several years of development. With several big-selling works, the distribution system of dd Pictures in North America is quite complete, although there is still some gap between it and the old studios in the fight for film arrangement. But it's not that noticeable anymore. In particular, DD Films has not done any money-losing works so far, which will make the theater chain think more about it. Although MGM's distribution system has shrunk a lot, the experience and operation mode it has are ready-made. Once they have enough confident works and enough resources to invest, they will soon be able to develop a stronger distribution system. This also includes the international distribution system.

Except for a few large ticket warehouse countries, such as Britain, France and Germany, dd film basically did not build its own international distribution team-because it is very expensive and unnecessary. However, as more and more works are released, this work becomes more important. On the premise of avoiding vacant distribution capabilities, it is of course meaningful to have a regular distribution team. After all, distribution often accounts for 30% to 40% of the box office of the filmmaker. , some countries may have more.

MGM is actually lacking on this point, after all, they have been in decline for many years. But MGM is well-known and experienced, and dd still has shortcomings in comparison.

Therefore, the newly formed distribution company is still based on MGM's distribution system, and is responsible for the global distribution of works produced by dd Pictures, dd animation and MGM Pictures.

This is of course a big deal for the industry. MGM had to hand over the film to other studios for distribution due to lack of distribution capabilities and resources. This is the benefit, and of course it is impossible now. But this is also a matter of course. Whether Sony or Warner buys MGM, it is impossible to take out this piece of meat again. It's just that dd Pictures is now in MGM~www.wuxiamtl.com~ will make some people think, after all, dd is only an independent studio, if you don't want to spend a lot of time and money on the structure of the distribution system And manpower, then relying on the distribution ability of others is a sustainable choice.

It is conceivable that many people will feel disappointed now.

Of course, none of these moves can match the attention the last one has attracted.

MGM is selling exclusive rights to its most valuable film library to Warner Bros. At this time, everyone suddenly realized why DD and Warner would stand together. Obviously, Daniel made this promise to Warner very early.

They're going to split up MGM.

dd needs its production and distribution capabilities, while Warners needs a library.

As for why it is only an exclusive license instead of a sale, it can obviously be regarded as Daniel's last move - selling such a valuable asset directly is not necessary for the dd film industry, which is not under great financial pressure. (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
