After the Oscars, there was a party as usual.

When director Li An won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the photos of director Li An chewing hamburgers at the party were once spread all over the world.

It can be called a great hero, only a true hero can be a romantic figure!

At the party in summer, I was not in a hurry to have a meal, but was busy dealing with people from all walks of life and media reporters who came to congratulate me.

Tianxia Production won 16 awards at this Oscar Awards ceremony, which can be said to be the biggest winner since the Oscar Awards ceremony. No one can match it.

Although the scale of Tianxia Production is already very large and its valuation is not less than that of any Hollywood giant, it is only considered to be half a giant because it has been established for too short and has a short experience.

But now, it has won sixteen trophies in one go, and combined with its previous accumulation, the number of Academy Awards produced by the world has reached 23.

With so many awards, such great fame and such strong strength, today's production has become a veritable giant company.

In this way, Hollywood has another giant.

The number of giant companies controlled by Xia Tian has reached three. Among the seven major Hollywood giants, he has monopolized three of them. In terms of strength, he has occupied half of Hollywood.

In this way, not to mention actors, directors, producers, etc., it depends on Xia Tian’s expression. Even other giants must have a good relationship with Xia Tian in order to avoid competing with Xia Tian, ​​especially avoiding collisions.

Otherwise, it had just released a blockbuster and was about to earn more box office, but it immediately released another blockbuster in the summer. When two blockbusters were top-notch, the box office would definitely decrease due to competition. This is a destined thing.

Therefore, in order to avoid vicious competition, major Hollywood films usually negotiate schedules before the movie is released and stagger the time between them. Otherwise, no one will have a better life. Of course, because there are three major films in summer and have the advantage in power, they will naturally have a relatively advantage in negotiating schedules.

...

"Mr. Xia, your World Production won sixteen trophys this time, which is really gratifying. What is your secret to success?" A reporter asked Xia Tian.

"Actually, it's the same as I said on stage just now. As long as you make the film carefully, there will be rewards." Xia Tian smiled, "This is my secret to success."

"Mr. Xia, you said it very well." The reporter nodded, "Then what movies do you think should have won the award at this Academy Awards, but unfortunately they didn't win the award in the end?"

Xia Tian smiled slightly when he heard the reporter's question.

This question is difficult to answer. What does it mean to "win the award but not win the award", is it implying that there is a shady story in the award ceremony, is it implying that the Oscars are unfair? If he complains about a certain movie, will he be regarded as being a good person?!

This question is really treacherous.

"Since these movies can be shortlisted, it proves that they are indeed unique. I think it is a certainty to be shortlisted." Xia Tian smiled.

Hearing his answer, the reporter laughed. He wanted to trick Xia Tian, ​​but he was not fooled at all.

It seems that even if I won the sixteen trophys today, I did not get carried away in summer, giving them the opportunity to take advantage of it.

...

After accepting the interview with reporters, Xia Tian went to meet Fox's boss Smith Spike with Cameron to discuss the filming of "The True Lies 2".

The reason why he can't wait is mainly because he returns to the mainland in two days in the summer. He still has a lot of things to do in the United States, so he has no time to delay.

It would be best if there was a result as soon as possible. If Fox doesn't agree to the cooperation, he would modify the script and turn it into a new spy action movie. He believed that with the blessing of him and Cameron, it would be difficult for this movie to lose money.

After hearing Xia Tian’s proposal, Smith Spike was very surprised. He didn’t expect Xia Tian to want to work with Fox to shoot "The True Lies 2".

However, after considering this proposal, he agreed in principle.

On the one hand, summer scripts have always been very good, with very high praise in the industry, and the box office has always been guaranteed.

Now Cameron is becoming more and more famous with the popularity of "Titanic", and is also a powerful caller for the box office.

"The True Lies" was so popular back then, with a global box office of more than $300 million, making it the most popular movie Fox in recent years.

With the combination of triple elements, "The True Lies 2" makes a certain amount of money. Fox has not developed well recently and has not produced several big-selling movies a year. Finally, he invested in a "Titanic", but he still didn't recognize the gold and jade and sold this project to Xiatian.

Today, the box office of "Titanic" has exceeded one billion dollars, and the summer revenue exceeds five hundred million dollars, while Fox only gets one hundred million dollars. The fat ducks he got ran away, which makes Fox almost the biggest joke in Hollywood.

To change this image, Fox must make some achievements. The movie "The True Lies 2" is a destined to be a big hit, which is just right for it.

On the one hand, the cost of the first part of "The True Lies" has reached 90 million US dollars. If the second part is to be filmed, with James Cameron's current net worth, the cost is likely to exceed 150 million US dollars.

Although this movie is likely to be sold for money, $150 million is also a considerable burden for Fox. If there is one in Wanli and it is really a loss, then Fox's physique will not be able to hold on at all, so introducing partners and sharing risks together is a normal operation.

Many big-invested movies in Hollywood often have four or five film companies invested together. This is already a very common thing.

Furthermore, Cameron is now close to Xia Tian, ​​but there are still some knots with Fox. If he doesn't work with Xia Tian, ​​not only will the script be gone, but Cameron probably won't be willing to work with it anymore.

If it doesn't require Cameron, and the director is invited to film the sequel to "The True Lies", there will be no guarantee of box office.

So, in general, it is more in Fox's interests to cooperate with Xia Tian.

Therefore, Smith Spike agreed to this cooperation in principle. However, there are still many things that require detailed consultation on the distribution of profits, ownership of copyright, production, distribution, etc.
