Chapter 321 Westerns
In the era when Western films have been completely bankrupt, they actually planned to invest in Western films. This move by White Films is really shocking.
Moreover, it is not a small production, the budget of the film is as high as $50 million. For William White, 50 million is nothing. For Hollywood, this is a proper big production.
Just, Westerns? You're sure you won't run off the street.
Although they can slander, they don't dare to say that western movies are bound to hit. The Gate of Heaven has hit the street, that's because their level is not good enough.
As for William White?
Hehe, it would be great if this product failed once.
"What? You say it again?"
"Kevin, come back quickly, I have won you an audition opportunity."
"Mike, what you just said is the protagonist, are you sure you're not joking?"
"Other directors may not like newcomers, William White, he has already made a lot of newcomers popular."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Today's Kevin Costner is still a standard piece of fresh meat. Well, it may not be very fresh, but it is definitely the type that Lao Mei likes.
The guy who has just experienced ups and downs is obviously very concerned about this opportunity. I really don't understand, since the director likes his performance so much, why Mao cut all his shots.
Oh, is it because the requirements have not been met?
Looking at this guy's resume, William White was also dumbfounded. It should be said that Lawrence Kasdan is also a great god, and has a very good relationship with Lucas, and this time he is also the person recommended by him.
It's just that you should leave two shots for others anyway. William White has no particular feeling for Kevin Costner. This guy made a great movie called Dances with Wolves and a terrible movie called Aquaworld.
In William White's view, both films were essentially Westerns. The future water world is actually also in the style of western movies, just to play in the water.
Dances with Wolves wasn't that great, and Aquaworld isn't that bad either. All in all, both films have their flaws, and both have very good points.
Chosen by William White, Kevin felt like he was going to explode. As the protagonist, he believes that he will not be cut again this time, and he also believes that he will succeed.
"William, don't trust that old guy Lawrence." Lawrence Kasdan said that he didn't care about his good friend's complaints.
"Lucas, relatively speaking, he is more reliable than you old fox."
"Haha, William, at most I'll vote for one share."
"Cut, you can do whatever you want. Westerns are not allowed? Who said that? It's nonsense to say how much money this movie makes. It's impossible to lose money."
"Okay, I voted, but, that little guy can really do it?"
William White shrugged and said: "It doesn't matter if it's okay or not. His appearance is very suitable for that era. If I use Brother Cruise, I will probably be sprayed to death."
Kevin has undoubtedly become a lucky one, and White Films is already in full swing today. Not to mention this kind of big production, even those low-budget movies will also face fierce competition.
Well, it's still Westerns after all, and the giants haven't worried too much yet. After all, no matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to reverse the trend.
In fact, William White wanted to say that the western film has never left, but you think it is gone.
It is true that Star Wars is a science fiction film, but its core is still a western film. Just look at the screenwriter and you will know that Lawrence Kasdan is an avid Western fan.
That Raiders of the Lost Ark is actually a western movie, and this guy is so good here. No matter what script he writes, he always likes to add all kinds of private goods.
In fact, Laomei is a cowboy at heart, and of course they like this tone. Several of the most popular Star Wars are written by this man. One of his pens is arguably the most expensive in Hollywood today.
Of course, if William White is willing to make this money, his price is undoubtedly the most expensive.
Today's White Pictures has also started crowdfunding. William White has money, but it doesn't mean he is willing to take risks. The Hollywood model is still great, unless you make a really bad movie, you don't have much to lose.
Since everyone is playing within this rule, there is no need for William White to do anything new. It's character to come here once in a while, but it's stupid to do it every day.
Everyone knows that White Films is planning to go public. Otherwise, just make money quietly, there is no need to play fair and just.
Hollywood is home to villains, and there's nothing that can't be done.
Can you believe it?
Lord of the Rings is actually a loss.
In order to hack other people's script share, I can really do anything. What makes people curious is that the tax department can not make trouble.
William White has no shortage of such means.
However, he really didn't have to do that. The best way to learn from Buffett is that there is basically no need to pay taxes.
As a guy who has been at the top of the rich list for a long time, his annual tax payment is only a few million.
Ha, your money, are you sure it's not for a joke?
Therefore, in the United States, if you want to pay less tax, you must set up a holding company and an investment bank. Not only can you avoid risks, but you don't need to pay too much tax.
"Tsk, these companies line up to go public because they plan to become investment banks."
"Boss, several of their investment funds are also very active."
"By the way, speaking of investing, what about Coca-Cola?"
"Boss, this is a miracle."
"Okay, don't talk about miracles anymore, that bastard is full of miracles."
"Boss, the profit is nearly quadrupled."
"Ahem, haven't cashed out yet?"
"No, his fund is even adding positions."
"Hey, it's just a change of CEO, but it can have this effect."
William White didn't know that Morgan Stanley's top executives were studying him, and he didn't care if he knew it. Now it's where he is now. This thing is his buddy's pension money, so how could he sell it.
How many people in the world are drinking Coke every day, how can this thing not make money. Even if it was counterattacked by the blue storm, it did not change the pattern of making money.
Tsk tsk, do you want to mix cola with red wine in the future?
This is a must, no matter how bad it is, this is a must. Look at Buffett, insisting that Coke is healthy. Also said that the red pot brings good luck.
Alas, in order to make money, not only is he shameless, he may even risk his life.
If you want to say that this is delicious, I will admit it, but it is better for the elderly not to drink this thing. It is not only prone to osteoporosis, but also prone to high blood sugar.
However, as the largest shareholder, Buffett insisted that this is very good, if not, you can still drink cherry flavor.
Speaking of it, everyone's life is not easy, and in order to make money, it's not a big deal to make a fool of yourself. William White could hide at home with Lafite, but he wouldn't do it in front of outsiders.
Not only can't drink, but I have to explain from time to time that Lafite is a bit sour and not very suitable for my style.
The Gallic rooster wants to ask, you don’t drink it, why buy so much and go back? If you don't drink it, how could you know it's sour.
