Manhattan, the place where Hollywood movies are most happy to destroy. Independence Day in 1994, it turned it into a sea of ​​fire and then razed it to the ground. Three years later, another film has set its sights on it. Samsung Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment, decided to place a monster from Japan in Manhattan, demonstrating the terrifying strength of this monster in a way that the world's financial center was severely damaged.

At this time, there was chaos near the Brooklyn Bridge, and the crew was shooting nervously under the supervision of municipal personnel.

Oga Ninja stood on the terrace of a nearby building, looking at the blonde German director standing behind the camera, frowning a little tightly.

"Michael, are you sure Director Emmerich won't mess it up?" he asked next to him.

The person standing on the side was Michael Orwitz, who returned to the entertainment agency industry. After learning the painful lessons of Disney's failure, Orwitz established an artist management company, and used his huge network of personal connections and well-functioned packaged services. After months of hard work, he got the big production project "Godzilla" from Samsung Columbia.

Michael Orwitz returned to the familiar entertainment brokerage industry, and no one dared to underestimate it. Not only the Godzilla project, he also poached Martin Scorsese, one of the four major directors from Caa. The entire artist management company has risen in a very amazing momentum in the short term.

"Dahe..." Michael Orwitz was as confident as ever. "I think you should have watched Roland's previous directing "The Eagle", "Recreational Warrior" and "The Cosmic Strange Swordsman" and "The Strange Swordsman" directed by Roland. It is not difficult to find out his directing style. This is a director who is also obsessed with and good at special effects scenes!"

"If you can invite Duke Rosenberg, this video will be at least half successful!" Oga Nin still whispered.

Michael Orwitz did not refute, but instead said in agreement, "It is true. In the film, no one in Hollywood can compare to Duke Rosenberg, but he has already rejected you! Dahe, believe me, except Duke Rosenberg, Roland Emmerich is definitely the best director in the world who is good at destroying the earth!"

Oga Shinin knew very well. It was impossible to invite Duke. Although Roland Emmerich's first three movies were not a big hit, their profits were quite considerable compared to investment. Michael Orwitz helped Sony Entertainment to win Columbia Pictures. The senior executives of Sony Entertainment also trusted his vision and ability, so they packaged the project to him.

Although Martin Scorsese has invested in the artist management company, Michael Orwitz is very clear that if the company wants to truly rise in Hollywood, it must have a successful operation project. It took him nearly three months to get this project in the first half of the year, and even invited Stan Winston, the top Hollywood model maker who joined the digital field, to design and produce Godzilla special effects.

Even if the artist management company actually does not get much commission, it will still lead to the success of this project.

"I'm sure the video can catch up with next year's summer vacation?" asked Oga Nin again.

"I've communicated with Roland," Michael Orwitz said confidently, "He will complete all the production of the film at the latest in April. Sony Entertainment can fully mobilize media resources and start building momentum for the film promotion."

He then emphasized, "Dahe, why has Duke Rosenberg been successful in recent years? Especially the niche themes like "Chicago". Why can it be so popular? Because under his promotion, Warner Bros. attached great importance to publicity. The production cost of "Chicago" is only $25 million, but it invested $15 million in publicity and distribution costs! What about other films of the same period? Many films with $50 million invested such high publicity and distribution budgets!"

Oga Nin nodded slightly. In fact, the promotional and distribution costs of the videos released this summer have increased significantly by a certain level compared to the past.

"If Duke Rosenberg picked up the camera and was a successful director," Michael Orwitz continued. "Then when he put down the camera, he was definitely a standard businessman. The propaganda methods he used were lower than the 99% lower limit of directors in this world. His face was definitely thicker than the group of vampires on Wall Street!"

"So, Sony must come up with more effective plans in publicity!" he emphasized.

After saying this, Michael Orwitz turned to look in the direction of the Empire State Building, the project of his former empire and now a powerful competitor to the entertainment brokerage industry, was filming there.

Judging from the released release date, the other party's film is also scheduled to be released in May, two weeks ahead of "Godzilla".

According to general circumstances, there will be no fierce competition between the two sides after one weekend, but now it seems that other films are hiding these two super-major productions, and they are staggering the weekends in the middle, and instead gathering together to grab the Memorial Day schedule. Perhaps they should think of some ways to prevent the Caa packaged project from being too hot, so as not to impact "Godzilla"!

Although the person in charge of that project was Martin Bob, his former old friend and right-hand man, none of these could stop the existence of competition.

I believe many people in Hollywood don’t want the other party’s project to succeed. The reason is too simple. It’s a DreamWorks project. Everyone can see the ambitions of the three DreamWorks giants, but the traditional forces in Hollywood will never sit idly by and watch the rise of DreamWorks. Just like it has happened several times in history, they will never tolerate a new company coming in to grab the largest piece of cake.

Even DreamWorks has the most popular director in Hollywood, Steven Spielberg.

At this time, Spielberg and Martin Bob were standing on the viewing platform of the Empire State Building, watching the female director Mimi Ledell nervously assembling the crew.

Although he doesn't like Martin Bob and Spielberg's face are not revealed. As a veteran who has worked hard in Hollywood for many years, he certainly understands the simplest truth that he cannot mix his personal likes and dislikes into business.

Martin Bob looked at Spielberg. DreamWorks' film plan did not start well. The first film "The Lock Break" ended in failure. The commercial revenue of "The Peacemaker" and "The Rotating City" released at the same time was far below expectations. Spielberg's big-selling film "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" has little to do with DreamWorks. The ambitions of the three giants encountered serious setbacks at the beginning.

If it weren't for these setbacks, he wouldn't have done a lot of operation and won the "Clash of Heaven and Earth" as a packaged project.

Although he encountered some trouble in Caa, no one could ignore Caa's strong strength in the industry, nor could he ignore the resources that he, the caa controller, could allocate.

Martin Bob believes that with Spielberg himself as the producer and his efforts to help, the film is still the most popular science fiction destruction theme at present, and the chances of success are infinite.

"My original idea..." Spielberg suddenly spoke, "I wanted to find Duke to direct this video, but unfortunately he rejected me and George..."

"What a pity!"

Unlike the rumored chess piece of Caa, Spielberg didn't care about Martin? Bob's face obviously just treated him as a service staff member and said to himself, "If Duke joins, "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" will have at least a 70% chance of selling well."

Martin Bob not only did not refute Spielberg's words, but instead nodded in a hurry, "After Duke Rosenberg's "Independence Day", the theme of how to destroy the earth has become one of the guarantees for the success of Hollywood's production."

He didn't like Duke, but he had to admit it in his heart.

There is nothing wrong with admitting these. Martin Bob is obviously trying to please Spielberg. Now he lacks heavyweight customers. If he can win Spielberg over, let alone nodding and echoing him, he is willing to dance like Michael Orwitz to make the other party happy.

Thinking of Michael Orwitz and Martin Bob not only looked over the Brooklyn Bridge, but Michael Orwitz returned and poached Martin Scorsese from the Caa at a lightning speed, leaving him dull, and even became a new reason for attacks by Ino Martin and Pat Kingsley.

From the moment Michael Orwitz stretched his hand to Caa, his interests were touched, and the previous relationship between the two parties disappeared. Perhaps there may be improvements in the future, but at this stage, they can only be competitors!

Moreover, it is not without benefits to establish such a strong competitor for Caa. It can completely consolidate its position and allow the centrists within the company to temporarily unite and deal with external enemies, even if this enemy is a former Caa giant!

External enemies are often the best way to ease internal conflicts.

Since Michael Orwitz left office, there have been voices within Caa who questioned his ability. Now the two packaged projects can start indirectly colliding tomorrow's summer season. In Martin Bob's opinion, this is not a chance to prove himself. If "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" finally beat "Godzilla" in box office, reputation and commercial results, it can also prove his ability from the side. Once he wins completely, he can even win more support from others.

Why did a group of shareholders support Ino Martin? It simply believed that under his leadership, Caa can bring more benefits to them. As long as he proves that he can do better, Ino Martin's camp will be divided.

Martin Bob does not have as great ambition as Michael Orwitz. He was praised by gossip media for a burst of hype and praise. He really thinks he is the emperor behind Hollywood. What he wants to do most is to completely control the caa, and then mobilize the power he can mobilize to forcefully suppress the director who has made him lose face countless times.

Of course, if the other party is willing to take the initiative to bow his head and throw himself into his subordinates, he will also welcome him with both hands. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
