Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Having lunch at Julia's home, Julia and babysitter took care of the little guy, Eric and Elizabeth came to the study upstairs.

Spread the prepared materials in front of the woman, Eric takes out a video cassette and takes it to the recorder.

Elizabeth opened the data brought by Eric and looked at it. It is roughly Hollywood comedy genre and various types of comedy Box Office and other data analysis in recent years. It is being picked up and read at random. Elizabeth heard the news from the TV The sound, looking up, in the picture, a Actor with a very exaggerated facial expression is dancing with a girl in a forehand dance, but it didn't take long for this scene to cut to another completely different scene, but still the same person.

Looking at the Actor's exaggerated teeth from time to time, listening to the funny dialogue from the TV, Elizabeth quickly couldn't help laughing.

Eric turned his head and said to the girl, "Is it interesting?"

Elizabeth looked at the man in the picture and made an exaggerated hip-twisting movement. He could n’t help it: “Well, who is this, how come I have no impression before?”

"His name is Jim Carrey, he has played several small production movies. Last year, he appeared in a small role in a TV comedy of Fox TV Station. What you see is just the effect after he converged the performance."

Eric said, the fast forward button was pressed, and soon the screen turned to an audition room. Jim Carrey was performing a pantomime this time, and there was no sound at all, but the facial expressions and body language were even more exaggerated, even It can be said to be crazy.

"Have you thought of anyone?" Eric asked again.

Elizabeth dragged his chin and said quickly, "Does Chaplin?"

"Yes, it ’s Chaplin. I do n’t think Jim Carrey ’s comedy talent needs Chaplin at all." Eric rewinded the tape and played it again, got up and returned to Elizabeth, picked up the information just now, and said: In these years, the comedy of Hollywood is mainly based on love comedy and family comedy. The most successful ones are like 《When Harry Met Sally》 and 1987 Box Office champion "Three Men and a Baby", "Home Alone" can also be classified as family comedy, but it focuses more on children The audience can also be said to be a children ’s comedy. In addition, there are few outstanding works in other comedy genres, and Film Studio does not dare to try other genres boldly. So this is a good opportunity. From "Hot Shots" at the end of last year The only talents that can be watched, the harder comedies are very marketable. "

Elizabeth asked curiously: "What is a harder comedy?"

"It is comedy with spoofs and vulgarity as its selling point. The main feature of these comedies is exaggeration, the plot is contrary to or beyond people's common sense. Just like" Hot Shots ".

Elizabeth picked up the information in front of it and read it again. Eric did n’t bother. I found a copy of magazine and sat there and looked at it by myself. Those materials were prepared by him. He had read them in detail before. Many times, a lot of data has hit my mind and I do n’t need to read it again.

After a while, after reading Elizabeth. Said: "These data show that in the past ten years, spoofs and vulgar comedies have accounted for only 3% of the total Box Office data, and this type of comedy is also limited to North America. Now the proportion of overseas Box Office is increasing. Great, this type of comedy seems to have no future. "

"So I said, this is a big gold mine that hasn't been developed yet. It looks promising, just because no one pays much attention to this market."

How smart is Elizabeth, and soon realized what was happening, saying: "You would n’t let my TG be a fodder. Try water for these types of comedies?"

Eric nodded: "You can also say that, but I am here and I will definitely not let you lose. Jim Carrey was selected by you personally. This guy is still just a nameless pawn. As long as I come forward, I can Easily sign his option contract for at least three years. "

The so-called option contract is a kind of restrictive contract signed with the other party when the newcomer is activated when Film Studio is optimistic about a project. The newcomer Actor must sign the auxiliary conditions if he wants to get the role. Usually this condition is related to the sequel of the project. There are also requirements for Actor to appear in the company ’s movies within a certain time, or another movie must be signed at a low price. contract.

On the Drew birthday party, Eric proposed to let TG be specifically responsible for comedy production, Elizabeth has already made detailed considerations, although on the surface it is customary to fight a few words with Eric, but she also thinks that Eric said very well It makes sense that instead of picking a project like a headless fly to make a movie, it is better to specialize in one theme. Comedy is undoubtedly a very promising film category. With the help of Eric, she believes that TG will be able to make a good job in this regard. Results.

"Eric, what about ... the release?" Elizabeth blinked, and asked with ease.

"This is also what I want to discuss with you," Eric said with a smile. He knows that Elizabeth is definitely the kind of "gu family" woman, and any good will think of his family. In Eric's opinion, this is a very good quality. TG's current shareholding structure remains unchanged, with Elizabeth accounting for 40%, Drew and Julia each accounting for 30%. small girl is totally equal to its own avatar, so it is almost equal to owning 30%, plus the following conditions, Eric can take half of the profits of TG. Since the daughters of others are used as ‘brothers’, it is impossible to swallow up all the benefits. Besides, the market is so large, which is inherently impossible.

"I will not intervene in investment. As for the release, Firefly requires North America to be distributed locally and on videotapes, and overseas releases can be given to Fox."

Elizabeth said: "In fact, we can do the video distribution ourselves."

Eric shook his head and said: "It's not necessary, I won't let you lose anyway. TG only needs to concentrate on the production. With Firefly and Fox as the backing, TG will never encounter problems in discovery. "

Elizabeth reluctantly retorted: "I don't want to be a vassal. You have said before that a pure production company has no future."

"That's because they don't have enough backing support, so it's so decided, no more bargaining, let's discuss some specific things." (To be continued)
