MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 1104 National propaganda film
Dunn is very self-aware, he never thought of rewriting the world pattern and international order.
To say change, at most, is to change the pattern of Hollywood.
Allow yourself to have a unique place in Hollywood.
The value concept shown in the film "Charlie Wilson's War" is, to put it bluntly, the official American propaganda film.
This is no different from the previous "Spy Situation".
From the perspective of cost-benefit, it is very difficult to make money for such promotional films!
Especially if "Charlie Wilson's War" wants to have a greater influence, it must invite big-name actors like Tom Hanks, and the cost will never be low!
Also has to reach 80 million US dollars!
If this part of the investment is fully borne by Universal Pictures, there is no doubt that the final result can only be a loss.
Fortunately, "Charlie Wilson's War" has a higher meaning than "Spy", involving the federal government, the military and the CIA.
Universal Pictures will enjoy preferential policies in administration, financial support in terms of funds, and free services in terms of military installations.
The official said that it can solve 35%-40% of the cost budget!
Moreover, after the movie is released, the copyright belongs to the producer, the official does not want copyright, and does not want a penny of dividends!
Therefore, for this type of film, whether it is "The Secret Service" or "Charlie Wilson's War", from the book point of view, the investment is high and the box office is very low.
For example, "The Secret Service", which cost 80 million US dollars, has a global box office of less than 100 million US dollars. "Charlie Wilson's War," for example, cost $75 million and grossed less than $120 million worldwide.
But in fact, Hollywood makes this kind of movie almost without losing money!
Hollywood is a business society first and a political environment second. If they lose money, no one is willing to cooperate with the authorities.
The premise of cooperation is profitable!
On this basis, let's talk about friendship.
After years of operation, Hollywood's personal connections have spread across all levels of the United States, up to the White House, the Pentagon, down to the dealers and pawns, and it is only natural.
Why are there so few Hollywood movies about the Korean War and Vietnam War these days?
Simple, this is the sad place of the US military!
The Pentagon will not sponsor such a film that insults the image of the US military.
Hollywood naturally avoids this subject for cost and revenue considerations.
In the same way, during World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union, and the United States and China had very close contacts, and together they wrote many beautiful chapters.
For example, the Flying Tigers aid China.
When the whole of Hollywood is showing favor to the mainland market, it stands to reason that there should be a film company shooting the Flying Tigers movie.
In fact, it's impossible!
Because it is impossible for the US to sponsor a war film related to China, the object of the fight is still its own ally Japan, which is not in line with the US' Asia-Pacific policy.
Without the support of the military, Hollywood's cost pressure has suddenly increased, and this type of subject matter must naturally be sealed.
As a result, there are almost no films about the theme of "World War II China Theater" in the world.
This is an important part of WWII!
There are themes in the Pacific Theater, there are also themes in the confrontation between the Soviet Union and Germany, and there are even more movies about the main battlefield in Europe.
The only thing missing is the Chinese battlefield.
So that the whole world has seldom heard of what happened on the Chinese battlefield during World War II, as if it never happened, not even the Nanjing Massacre.
This kind of national righteousness, relying on businessmen is definitely not reliable. Don't look at Wang Real Estate, Ma E-commerce and other super-rich people's bullshit, they will not do loss-making transactions.
It's up to the government.
Later, China Film took the lead, put aside the political differences between the two sides of the strait, assembled the largest creative team and cast in the Chinese-speaking region, got the strong support of the Bayi Film Studio and the Military Commission, and invited world-class director John John Wu. A film "Taiping Wheel" showing the theme of the Anti-Japanese War was made.
It's a pity that John Wu is already old, Jiang Lang's talents are exhausted, and even the quality of "Windtalker" has not reached.
Not to mention breaking into the international market, it has been sprayed into a dog in mainland China.
This is also a helpless thing. It is not enough for a movie to have money and resources, but also to have senior talents.
Such a big scene and blockbuster, looking at the Chinese-speaking area, who has the ability to control...except John Wu, that is, Laomouzi.
Hollywood's big directors can't swim in this muddy water.
Lao Mouzi's "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" failed, and only John Wu was selected.
In the final analysis, it is the lack of government support.
Hollywood war movies are so good because they are endorsed by powerful government resources. Every year, officials invest at least $500 million in Hollywood in terms of policy, funding, sponsorship, and tax relief!
With such a large amount of funds used for official "propaganda", coupled with the national environment's emphasis on film and television talents, as well as the great recognition of their political and social status, Hollywood's national image "promotional film", want to shoot Almost impossible.
In the United States, all actors, singers, and creators can be called artists.
Even Taylor Swift, who is not yet 16 years old, will widely use the title of artist in media reports because she sang a number one single with Dunn.
…
Dunn is very happy to cooperate with the official to shoot the film "Charlie Wilson's War".
It can not only make money, but also close the relationship between capital and power.
Why not do it?
There were many guests at the reception, so Tang En couldn't waste all his time on official figures. He had to take good care of every guest.
Talk to every guest he invites for a few minutes.
This is the most basic social etiquette.
As for those official representatives, it was left to Tom Hanks to deal with them.
Tom Hanks is capable enough.
Not surprisingly, his next movie is "Charlie Wilson's War", and he will play the leading actor Charlie Wilson.
As for the heroine...
He was also invited by Dunn to the reception.
"Julia, long time no see!"
Tang En carried a glass of red wine and was not accompanied by a female companion. With a smile, he came to an aura of a female star.
Julia Roberts!
She had just given birth and was waiting for a chance to come back.
"Dawn?" Julia Roberts turned back and saw Dunn, a little surprised, "I heard you have a great role, want to give it to me?"
Tang En smiled, "It's true, look over there."
After speaking, he pointed in the direction of Tom Hanks.
Julia Roberts was stunned, and her eyebrows were a little excited, "Is the hero Hanks?"
"If there is no accident, it will be like this." Dunn nodded.
Julia Roberts lightly covered her red lips, "Oh my God!"
For young moviegoers, Leonardo DiCaprio is Hollywood's number one man.
But for veteran fans and industry insiders, Tom Hanks is the biggest male god!
Dunn smiled and said: "This will be a historical biopic related to the war, you will be Hanks' lover, and there will be a lot of opposite scenes..."
Before he could finish, Julia Roberts was a little impatient, "Needless to say, I promise! Ever since I first acted in a movie, I've dreamed of working with Hanks one day. Oh **** what…"
Today, she is wearing a slim dress with suspenders, and the narrow belt cinches her waist, highlighting the upright and full upper body.
Tang En had several close contacts with her in the past few years, and she felt that her upper circumference was obviously larger, which might be due to breastfeeding.
I don't know how it tastes...
Cough cough!
Dunn quickly dismissed the idea.
It's not that she is worried about her getting married, having children, and having a stable family life, mainly because she is too old.
She is 38 years old this year.
Although the charm is still there and the charm is more charming, Tang En is also a little bit reluctant.
Seeing Dunn's eyes peeking inwardly along the neckline of her dress, Julia Roberts was a little dumbfounded and laughed in a low voice, "Where are your eyes looking?"
Dunn smiled and shook his head, "I'm just curious. Hehe, that's ok, I'm going there. Mr. Coppola is here today."
"and many more!"
Julia Roberts hurriedly reached out and pulled him.
Tang En stopped, "what's the matter?"
Julia Roberts said: "I want to ask you a favor."
Tang En said with a smile: "Speak directly."
"I have a niece...the equivalent of half my adopted daughter. Her dad is my brother, but he's a complete asshole. My sister and I brought her up since I was a child. You know, I came from an acting family and she grew up with Showed great acting talent. I hope you can help her and give her some resources."
This is Julia Roberts after all.
A Hollywood star!
Throughout today's Hollywood, the only female star who can be equated with her is Nicole Kidman.
Not even Natalie, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie.
Such a big star will naturally attract high-profile attention from the media.
Dunn also heard about it.
Julia Roberts really took special care of her little niece, just like her own daughter.
When she was very young, she used her industry contacts to help her build bridges and pave the way.
Not only engaged in performances, I heard that there is also an album released this year!
This is multi-living development!
Ambitious!
More importantly, she is younger than little Taylor!
Don't be afraid to grow seedlings!
Tang En was slightly startled, "How old is she?"
Julia Roberts said: "Already over 14 years old. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"
Tang En was a little surprised, "Julia, the environment in the entertainment industry... You must understand, you are not afraid to bring her in at such a young age... I mean, even with your protection, Hollywood is a big dye vat that can Quickly dye a piece of white paper."
Julia Roberts said sternly: "I said, she was abandoned by her parents since she was a child. The special family environment made her very mature. She can cope with this, and..."
Saying that, she raised her head and glanced at Tang En, "And if Emma can take care of you, even if you just say a word or two, people in the industry will not dare to attack her, what do you think?"
Dunn is sweating!
Are you really stupid or fake?
Don't you know who is the biggest threat to pretty girls in Hollywood right now?
