One Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty-Nine Interwoven Interests

If it's just an ordinary actor, then the studio can completely ignore it; but those actors who reach the top of the pyramid, even the studio must be careful.

Renly's cleverness is that, first of all, he is a top actor, even the top actor in the whole of Hollywood; secondly, he is not greedy, and his requirements for remuneration and power are just right, and will never trigger a violent backlash from the film company. ; Once again, his control of the balance of power is very good - of course, provided that his talent and ability allow, which makes him not need to put all his eggs in one basket like Vin Diesel.

Warner Bros. is now just a member of the multi-party competition. Even if Warner Bros. is absent, this chess game can still continue, and Warner Bros. may be excluded from the entire chess game; more importantly, Disney and Sony Columbia Pictures. The industry has already joined the war, and now Warner Bros. has really little leverage.

This made Kevin fall into an embarrassing situation of dilemma and dilemma, and his whole body was extremely uncomfortable.

"Damn." Kevin couldn't help but wanted to swear.

"What's the matter? Who the hell offended our Mr. Kevin-Tsujihara?" A delicate/enchanting voice came from the side, with a bit of a sexy/sexy hoarseness, revealing a hint of fascination, but not going too far , everything is just right. If you are a Hollywood industry insider, you will know that the thorny rose, which seems to be open but is actually hot, is definitely not a guy to mess with.

Analucia-Lincoln (Analucia-), one of the top public relations people in the industry, although the title is "public relations person", she is actually the head of news. Her news network has spread all over the North American continent, from Hollywood gossip to paparazzi. A Washington lobbyist, she was able to pick up on everything from hip-hop thugs on the West Coast to elite intellectuals on the East Coast.

She is the smartest in the checks and balances of power. She never crosses the line, and she is never greedy. She is well versed in the profound meaning that affects her whole body, and she manages her own territory carefully.

Although it is impossible for her to protect herself, she can always find a place among different forces and cleverly use the balance of interests to gain breathing space for herself. This made her successfully enter the upper tier in the Hollywood power pyramid, playing a very special role.

In Anna Lucia, Kevin saw what Renly looked like; but the difference was that Renly was more sophisticated, smarter and more ruthless, and he didn't ask for anything, such a person was even more difficult than Anna Lucia. If possible, Kevin still prefers to deal with Ana Lucia rather than Renly.

"Renly-Hall." Kevin did not hide the answer, but did the opposite and took the initiative to throw out the meat. This is the principle of message trading.

Sure enough, Anna Lucia's eyes flowed under the moonlight, showing her intelligence, "As far as I know, personal grievances are always put behind the company's interests, aren't they?"

Kevin's pupils narrowed slightly.

Anna Lucia then added, "The smart thing about Renly is that he knows what people want and what people are willing to pay. Although it is very, very annoying, no one can No. That's the law of the jungle and the law of nature, isn't it?"

On the surface, Kevin and Anna Lucia are playing a riddle, but the content is actually very simple. Ana Lucia revealed a very important message: Warner Bros. competitors were ready to enter, and Renly's conditions gave them no reason to refuse.

Although Anna Lucia did not reveal who it was,

But Kevin knew that if it was just 20th Century Fox or Paramount Pictures, then she didn't need to emphasize it so solemnly.

Anna Lucia revealed the news, and now it's Kevin's turn to reciprocate, "You know, I always thought that the British gentleman's melancholy temperament in Renly fits very well with DC superheroes, what do you think?" At the moment of death, Kevin had already made a decision: Warner Bros. decided to enter the game.

Kevin is not Barry, he does not have the decisive temperament of Barry, to a certain extent, he can even be said to be indecisive; but as the CEO of a top super company, the choice of interests is his basic ability.

In fact, deep down, Kevin knew what the right choice was, but he still couldn't get past his own level. All he needed was a little chemical boost; now that Anna Lucia pulled the trigger, his decision was also It came out naturally, otherwise he wouldn't be able to climb to where he is today.

Ana Lucia nodded meaningfully. She likes big guys like this, and always understands the principles of information exchange. She decided to attach a little bonus message, "I deeply agree. Renly's temperament is indeed very suitable for DC. Oh, yes Now, have you heard? Thomas Tour went to the 'Interstellar' crew to visit last week. He really paid special attention to this work. The cooperation between Thomas and Christopher is always full of countless sparks. Does this mean that , we the audience can start looking forward to it now?"

Thomas Tour went to visit the crew.

It's a message without any properties, and it's a trivial matter. Among the countless busy and important information, a big guy like Kevin Tsujihara doesn't care at all, and he doesn't need to pay attention; but now that Anna Lucia is specifically mentioning it, it is obvious that there is something tricky in it, so Kevin will naturally pay special attention to it.

If it is an outsider inquiring, it is estimated to be very difficult; but if it is the CEO of Warner Bros. - "Interstellar" is invested and produced by themselves, then it is not too difficult.

If you ask carefully, you can find that, first, Renly was not there when Thomas Tull visited the crew; second, Thomas Tull, Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan stayed in the small conference room for ten minutes, No one knew the content of the conversation, but when the three left, Tour and Emma couldn't see why they were coming, but Christopher's expression was very stiff.

A closer look reveals that Emma Thomas and Andre Hamilton had a pleasant conversation at a private party the night before Thomas Tour went to visit the crew.

Who is Andre? Best friend of Renly and CEO of Sisyphus Pictures.

After all the news was summed up, things suddenly became subtle. For an intermediary like Anna Lucia, who is responsible for selling news, the connection and deep meaning established in the inextricable threads is precisely her value. On the surface, this bonus news does not have much meaning, but for Kevin It's worth a thousand dollars.

...

This year's awards season, Andre - Hamilton's figure appeared in every corner of Hollywood. Last year, Andre walked the rivers and lakes as the head of Dalmore whisky; this year, Andre was born as the CEO of Sisyphus Pictures. This subtle difference is doomed to a completely different situation. .

"So, everything's settled?" Tom-Bernard fiddled with the champagne glass in his hand, his eyes sparkling with interest.

Tom Bernard, Co-Chairman and CEO of Sony Classics. At this time, Tom quietly watched the man in front of him, tall, handsome, gentlemanly, and flamboyant. The unique temperament that burst out from the inside shone with the light of heaven's favored man, making people unable to ignore it easily.

Everyone knows Renly's talent and market value, but so far, Renly's hereditary aristocratic background still has unlimited potential that has not been tapped. The most important meaning of the so-called "noble" lies not only in the invitation letter for ordinary people to join the upper class, but also in the powerful contacts that the celebrity status can come into contact with.

To put it simply, ordinary people don't even know the existence of these private parties, let alone join them. , they are just "Grandma Liu". But hereditary nobles can easily become the guests of honor.

Of course, even hereditary nobles must be divided into ranks, and there are always three, six, nine, etc., and among them, those who can rank among the top are naturally the core of much attention.

For example, Andre Hamilton, appearing on any top occasion is the absolute focus of his duty. On the basis of identity theory, asset theory, and knowledge theory, they are all well-deserved masters. And the connections behind Andre are another world that the ordinary class has no way to spy on.

Thomas Tour started with a $50 million private equity fund, founded Legendary Pictures, and became one of the silhouettes of Wall Street controlling Hollywood; but compared with Andre, Tour can only be said to be insignificant Great witch, now Andre has created Sisyphus Films, which has revealed strong ambitions in every aspect, and no one can underestimate it.

In the past two weeks, Andre's figure has frequently appeared in New York, London, Geneva and other places, and the seemingly unintentional visit itinerary reveals his thoughts everywhere. Those who are interested can find that Andre is looking for more sources of private equity funds to win more start-up capital for Sisyphus Pictures.

In fact, in the past two years, the rumors that the head of Dalmore is preparing to enter Hollywood has continued, but Andre has never responded positively. In the end, after a long time, he just tinkered with a "Boom Drummer"; As a result, people in the industry inevitably developed a kind of idea of ​​"the children of rich families play tickets". While they paid attention, they did not pay too much attention. Every year Hollywood can see such rich second and third generations. They spend money like land to walk around, then turn around and disappear.

But now things seem to be different.

So, Tom is asking the sentence just now: everything has been determined?
