After a while, Harvey left alone, Elizabeth moved towards Eric, whispered: "Eric, how about you say I bought Miramax?"
Eric signaled a waiter to take away his finished plate and asked for a glass of champagne before asking: "How come you suddenly have such an idea?"
Elizabeth said: "I heard that Miramax has lost a lot of money this year. After the success of" Sex, Lies and Videotapes "and" My Left Foot "last year, Weinstein Brothers bought more than a dozen movies in one go. As a result, not only most of Box Office failed, Oscar There is nothing to gain, I think this is a good opportunity. "
"Good opportunity, what good opportunity? What is the purpose of buying Miramax, even if you buy it, do you have any specific plans for Miramax, and what are the development ideas of TG's, have you considered them? "
A series of questions in Eric directly covered Elizabeth. After 《The Silence of the Lambs》 succeeded, Elizabeth just wanted to continue to make movies while the iron was hot, and continue to grow TG. But specific plans ... Do they need any planning for production companies like them? Apart from making movies, isn't it still making movies?
"Okay, let's come one by one," Eric looked at the overwhelmed Elizabeth: "Why are you buying Miramax?"
"In order to ... Oscar, their two brothers are very good at public relations Oscar. In addition to helping 《The Silence of the Lambs》 public relations, they also won the five best foreign language film nominations."
"Although there are hot movies that rush into Oscar every year, most of the Oscar nominated films are still works of art. Since you want to buy Miramax, that is to say. Do you decide to concentrate on making award-winning art films in the future?"
Elizabeth shook his head: "Of course not, just ..."
"Just let them public relations when they need it, buy a company for the production and distribution of literary and artistic films for Oscar, do you think TG has this strength now?"
Elizabeth moved the waist unwillingly. A silver knife in his hand dragged a prawn in the plate in front of him, muttering: "Okay, just don't buy it."
Eric added: "In fact, most of the Oscar awards are just a icing on the cake. We can't deny that it plays a very important role in the sale of video tapes. The stars who get Oscar will also double in value. But Hollywood There are hundreds of movies produced, but only a few dozen are able to compete for Oscar. If the impact of Oscar is regarded as the business goal of Film Studio, then this company will never be able to grow. The recently announced statement that the discontinued Orion Film Industry is actually This is an example. I remember that a few years ago, Orion got 18 nominations in the first Oscar, but it is still on the road to bankruptcy. "
Elizabeth stopped with a small hand: "Okay. I ’m just thinking about it temporarily, you do n’t need to chatter like that, like an old man, I do n’t have as much Papa as you."
Eric looked at Elizabeth very 'injured': "If it is an irrelevant person, do you think I will chatter?"
Elizabeth's face is slightly ruddy: "Even if ... I am wrong, OK."
"《The Silence of the Lambs》 is regarded as the famous work of TG. This is an exception, but then you chose another road movie. Um ... I have n’t seen this script, I wo n’t comment for the time being, but you think about TG later Where is the focus of making movies? "
Elizabeth reveals a thoughtful look: "This is really not considered. I just think that as long as you can pick a good script and make a good movie, it ’s fine. Well, of course, the plan I set for myself is five years. Within, do not produce movies that cost more than 30 million USD. This will minimize the risk, even if the loss is unexpected. It will not pay too much. "
"I will not comment on the Seventh Party, but for Firefly. My plan is to produce large-cost movies based on Firefly itself. The new line is responsible for horror thrillers, Flower Films will be the main action movie in the future, and Pixar will be responsible for animation. Because Black Ant is an accident, it has not been accurately located for a while, "Eric briefly introduced, looking at Elizabeth:" So, what type of movie do you think TG is suitable for? "
Elizabeth broke her delicate little fingers and thought about a moment: "It seems that if you can't specialize in making art films, the larger categories will leave comedy films."
Finally dragged this little girl into the pit, Eric said decisively: "Then, in the future, TG will specialize in producing comedies. In fact, it is still very beneficial to focus on a type of movie, just like Weinstein Brothers has figured out a set of special public relations Oscar. As the rules say, if you transform and produce comedy, you can find a suitable way after a long time. And the production cost of comedy movies is usually very low, which is very suitable for independent production companies. "
Elizabeth also seems to have figured out something else, looking at Eric and saying suspiciously: "How do I feel this is all arranged by you?"
Eric hit a finger click, revealing a complacent look: "It's smart, so, do you have any opinions?"
Elizabeth asked weakly: "What if ... have an opinion?"
Eric looked at Elizabeth with a smile: "Look, you are using interrogative sentences, indicating that this is just a hypothesis, then you must not object to it. Since this is the case, then you have decided so happily. Let ’s talk back The specific cooperation plan, in fact, I have a lot of good ideas in my heart. I have never had the energy to implement it. I am not too willing to give it to outsiders, so it is cheaper for you. "
Elizabeth stared at Eric for a few seconds, pursed the corner of his mouth, and silently forked the only shrimp left in the tray in front of him, and stuffed it into the champagne glass of Eric. Then, he lay on the table and said depressedly: "oh God, how can I meet a shameless guy like you, I am going crazy."
Eric looked at the cup and a layer of oil rose, and the old **** was sighing, it was a waste. I stood up and regretfully changed another glass to the waitress. By the way, I also thoughtfully gave the girl next to me a glass of wine: "Come, have a glass of champagne, you should thank me, but I put a big 'Gold Mine' is for you to take care of. "
"I unload ~ unload ~ you," Elizabeth gritted his teeth and glared at Eric before taking the glass of champagne and drinking it. (To be continued)
