Entertainment: God-level director

Lin Ran woke up early in the morning.

Today is the day when”Cracking Drummer” is released in the United States. Since it happens to be in the United States, Lin Ran naturally has to take advantage of the promotion before returning to China, so as to earn as much box office as possible.

At seven o’clock in the morning, Lin Ran, Tong Liya and Feng Yuanzheng arrived at the hotel restaurant

“Brother Ran, a lot of media have reported on you today.”The assistant said with a smile.

“Yeah? Lin

Ran smiled, not surprised.

《”Crackling Drummer” became the biggest winner of this year’s Oscars, and there will certainly be no shortage of media coverage.

While eating breakfast, I searched for Oscar-related news reports on my mobile phone.

Variety show:”‘The Big Bang’ won five out of eight nominations at this year’s Oscars, while ‘Boyhood’ only won the Best Supporting Actress award.”

Entertainment Weekly:”Lin Ran won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress with”The Big Bang” Director!”

The New York Times:”The dust has settled at the Oscars. Eddie Redmayne and Julianne Moore were named Best Actor and Best Actress respectively, China Lin became the Best Director, and”Birdman” won the Best Picture!”

American Chinese Network:”Great news! Director Lin Ran won the Oscar for Best Director, and”The Burst” won five awards, creating a miracle for Chinese-language films!”

Fox News:”Experts doubt that”The Burst” can win five awards. , or it may be related to China’s huge film market!”

CNN：”……”

Lin Ran quickly browsed through the news and saw that many media outlets directly included”Exploding Drummer” in their titles, and couldn’t help but nodded with satisfaction.

Today,”Blast Drummer” will be released, and the media’s overwhelming coverage at this time is equivalent to a huge advertisement.

Normally, so many major media reports would cost at least several million dollars in advertising fees.

After breakfast, Feng Yuanzheng and Tong Liya went to a Chinese TV station to promote to Chinese people across the United States.

Nowadays, there are millions of Chinese people in Mihua, who can contribute a lot to the box office of movies.

Lin Ran, on the other hand, went to Comcast’s studio in Los Angeles to record a program to promote”The Explosive Drummer”.

Comcast, the parent company of Universal Pictures, is the major cable TV, broadband network and IP phone service provider in the United States.

It has 24.6 million cable TV users, 14.4 million broadband network users and 5.6 million IP phone users. It is the largest cable TV company in the United States and the second largest Internet service provider in the United States.

Ranked 27th among Forbes global companies this year.

Universal Pictures has been able to become one of the six giants in Hollywood because it has the support of a parent company that is a comprehensive media group including television, Internet, and media.

In fact, this is true not only of Universal Pictures, but also of several other companies.

For example, Disney announced its entry into the cable TV network business as early as 1981.

When 20th Century Fox was acquired by Disney, Netflix became a new member of the MPAA and became one of the new six.

The core reason is still that Netflix is a comprehensive media group that can watch movies and TV programs through PC, TV, iPad, iPhone, and connect to TV through Wii, Xbox360, PS3 and other devices. Its influence is no worse than that of the traditional media giants..

A simple production company like DreamWorks, even if its founder is a top director like Spielberg, is still unable to challenge several giants, and was eventually acquired by Universal Pictures.

Why?

Because, only the Big Six in Hollywood are members of the MPAA.

MPAA, the American Motion Picture Association, directly controls the power of film classification!

American movies have a rating system. Once the competitor’s movies are positioned more strictly, for example, those that can be rated NC-17 will be directly rated as R, and those that can be rated as popular G will be changed to PG. A large number of movies can be classified. Movie-watching groups were blocked outside, causing huge losses.

It can be said that the controllable space inside is very large.

So how can you become an MPAA member?

Of course, it relies on absolute hard power, so there have been only six MPAA members for decades!

To be a part of it, you either have to get a seat at the table through an acquisition, like Sony’s acquisition of Columbia Pictures.

Or it’s like Netflix, which grows wildly through the Internet. When the power becomes so powerful that the traditional giants have no choice but to do anything, Netflix will naturally become one of them.

But other film companies do not have this condition, and they will always be second-rate companies, unable to challenge the status of the Big Six.

Even Lin Ran’s Fantasy Entertainment cannot challenge it, because as a Chinese, it is impossible for him to obtain MPAA membership!

Ding ding ding…

On the way to record the show, Lin Ran’s cell phone suddenly rang.

It looked like it was an unknown number, but Lin Ran answered the call anyway,”Who is this?”

“Mr. Lin, this is Ethan Mike.”

Ethan Mike?

Lin Ran frowned. Why is this guy calling him?

Does he still want to continue to provoke?

Before Lin Ran could speak, Ethan Mike said:”Mr. Lin, I drank a little too much last night. , I’m really sorry for causing offense to you, please forgive me.”

Turns out I’m here to apologize!

Lin Ran didn’t find it strange that he was jointly banned by the Chinese market, Universal Pictures and Paramount. As long as this guy is not a die-hard who would rather end his career as an actor than apologize, he will definitely give in.

Hong What about the neck?

When it comes to their own interests, how many people can persist?

The reason why they usually speak harshly is that they have nothing to lose.

“Keep your mouth shut from now on.”

Lin Ran just responded lightly and hung up the phone directly.

Although he apologized, Lin Ran would not express his forgiveness directly. He called Universal Pictures and Paramount to say that he had forgiven the guy. Just leave it to dry.
