Ace Hollywood

On the eve of MGM's press conference, Hollywood was rocked by another blockbuster. www.geiliwx.com (no pop-up window, the best novel reading experience is in [novels])

The Weinstein Brothers and Disney have officially parted ways.

Harvey and Bob standing at the entrance of Miramax Films, surrounded by media reporters, did not have a lot of heaviness and frustration on their faces. Obviously, this protracted conflict can be ended, which is what their brothers would like to see matter.

Yes, we've just reached an agreement 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 re-live our film dreams. Weinstein and Miramax still have some projects together, but they will be two completely separate entities...

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

Robert Iger is becoming more and more like Michael Eisner. Although he became the head of Disney earlier this time, he has basically not changed anything, whether it is the conflict with the Mira Max Weinstein brothers or the relationship with Pixar. differences. However, Daniel is not sure that Robert's approach is wrong. In fact, the merger and acquisition measures taken by Robert will promote Disney to become the greatest company in Hollywood in the future-the number one without a doubt.

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

Whether DD Films enters MGM, or Paramount acquires DreamWorks Pictures, or now, the Weinstein Brothers bring their team to start anew, it will profoundly change the entire Hollywood ecological environment.

...

MGM Pictures will hire Mr. Lon Mayer as the company's CEO, and Mr. Mayer will be responsible for forming the new management team.

MGM will start filming 6 films this year, including the new 007 series and the movie Black Swan that will invite Natalie Portman to star.

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

...

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

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

Universal Pictures Senior Vice President Ron Meyer. He once left the CAA brokerage company he co-founded, and now he is about to bid farewell to Universal Pictures, which allowed him to start a new career, and join the new MGM, which has an uncertain future. This is a far-reaching industry news anyway.

Daniel doesn't have a playlist though. However, MGM has confirmed plans for six 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, there is no impulse, no passion, the acquisition MGM is well thought out by DD Pictures and Daniel. A well-prepared move, now it depends on whether Daniel can maintain his undefeated myth. After all, no matter how brilliant your past is, it is still difficult to give people a sense of security and convincing power when you enter a completely different realm.

Daniel confirmed that Natalie Portman will star in Black Swan. This work has become very popular because of Darren's intervention and the cooperation between Rachel and Daniel. Of course, the most important thing is to resume being single Daniel. Unclear relationship with Natalie. Already denied? Denial does not represent truth.

In Hollywood, not only the words of the media and reporters cannot be trusted, but also the words of celebrities.

They say they're drug-free, party wild, live extravagantly, believe in love, and be pure—clearly, that's all a lie.

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

After several years of development. With several blockbuster works, DD Films has a fairly complete distribution system in North America, although there is still a gap with established film studios in terms of film scheduling. But it's not that obvious anymore. In particular, DD Pictures has not made any money-losing works so far, which will make the theaters think a little bit more. Although MGM's distribution system has shrunk a lot, they have the experience and operation mode 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 countries with large box office, such as Britain, France and Germany, DD Films has basically not built 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 capacity, it is of course meaningful to have a regular distribution team. After all, distribution often accounts for 30% to 40% of the film’s box office. , some countries may be more.

In fact, MGM is also lacking in this point. After all, they have been in decline for many years. However, MGM is well-known and experienced, and DD Pictures 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 event for the industry. MGM had to hand over the film to other studios for distribution because of lack of distribution capabilities and resources before-this is where the benefits lie, 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 come up with this piece of meat. It’s just that DD Films now owns MGM, so some people will have some ideas. After all, DD is only an independent film studio. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time, money and manpower on the distribution system, then rely on others The distribution ability is a sustainable choice.

It is conceivable that many people will feel disappointed now that their hopes have been dashed.

Of course, none of these measures can compare to the attention that the last one has attracted.

MGM is selling the exclusive license to its most valuable library to Warner Bros. It was only at this time that everyone suddenly realized why DD and Warner would stand together. Obviously, Daniel made this promise to Warner very early on.

They're going to spin off MGM.

DD needs its production and distribution capabilities, while Warner needs its film library.

As for why it was 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 DD Films, which is not particularly under financial pressure. (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
