\"&　　"" The script is completed, but Hugo needs an investor, because Hugo doesn't understand the procedures and structure of making a film at all. It can be said that he doesn't know anything. He needs the help of professionals.

Although Hugo can serve as a producer, it does not mean that Hugo cannot spend the money to invest. If "" only invests a few million, Hugo can completely pay for it, but the problem is that he has no idea about these things. , What is the job content of a producer, how should it be executed, and what is the difference between a good producer and a bad producer, Hugo is. For example, the first step is the budget. Is this Hugo?

How much does it cost to invest in a movie, and what is the cost difference between 500,000 and 2.5 million? "Is it enough to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in such a movie that does not require too many actors or too many sets?" But... how does film count money? How should the remuneration of the photography group, lighting group, and prop group be calculated? Also, should publicity expenses and distribution expenses be added to the budget?

Barabara...These are all professional issues, and Hugo is a complete layman. Therefore, Hugo can invest on his own, but he needs to find a partner.

But recently, Glory to Death is intensively promoting the album "Bath in the Morning Light", so Hugo's own is very limited. What Hugo originally thought was probably going back, and it won’t be visible until October at the earliest, but he didn’t expect that after Joseph knew about it, he contacted Hugo in less than three days... …

Counting down Hugo’s current contacts, in fact, he can contact a lot of people, especially for a strongly experimental script like "". Hugo should spread the net, maybe the eight major film companies and their factories should all be. Put the script in the past and try it. In addition, you can contact Barbara Brockori who you know before, and you can also try the directors and producers of Hugo's previous films. Get in touch.

But this is too purposeless, and the efficiency is too low.

Relatively speaking, Steven, who has been close to Hugo recently, is the best choice. On the one hand, Glory To Death is currently discussing the issue of contract renewal with EMI. The meeting between Hugo and David will be a stimulus for Roger, which will bring great convenience to Henry's work.

On the other hand, Rick received a lot of trivial news. The company that Steven and David jointly established has gradually surfaced. At this time, Hugo took the initiative to invite cooperation. Not only the opportunity is greater, but the two sides know the roots and know the bottom line and cooperate. Will be more enjoyable.

So, after comprehensive consideration, Joseph contacted David for Hugo.

Joseph has now gradually mastered the rules of the circle. He moved some hands and feet very cunningly. On the dinner day, Glory To Death had a radio program recording task. In addition, there was a charity event that interacted with children in the Children’s Hospital. After participating in the promotion, Hugo went to the restaurant to attend the appointment.

In addition to Hugo, there were Henry, Rick and Joseph. Rick just greeted David and left first. Henry and Joseph had a very pleasant conversation with David for a while. I left before the appetizer was served, and finally left Hugo and David to talk privately.

On the surface, this is just Hugo’s dinner with David’s friends. Without talking about any official business, without the presence of brokers, managers, and investment partners, it would be difficult for reporters to make news if they filmed it; In the minds of people-Hollywood is a very small circle. The appearance of Rick represents the possibility of Hugo and David’s film cooperation, and the appearance of Henry means that David’s Geffen Records seems to have action. Although Rick and Henry both left early, Hugo stayed, and the content of the conversation was very intriguing.

A simple dinner will have different meanings on special occasions at special times.

"So, you took the initiative to ask me out today to talk about the band contract?" David is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, and his personality has always been very tolerant of friends, but he is true to enemies. Speech color. Just now when David saw a large army appear, he actually knew what was going on, but he didn't mind, instead he took the initiative to cooperate. Because David also has his own purpose.

DreamWorks will be officially established in October, and now David, Steven and Jeffery are all busy non-stop. Their goal is not just to establish an independent production company, they want to create a new bright spot that can change the landscape of Hollywood, without the help of a consortium, to become a top player in Hollywood.

Under such circumstances, Hollywood connections are extremely important, and uniting emerging forces is even more important. Hugo is not only Hollywood's top power upstarts, but behind him also represents endeavour elite companies. From the perspective of interest exchange, Hugo is a blue chip worth investing in.

Therefore, David cooperated with Hugo's actions, because he also asked for something. Hugo borrowed from him, so he was not borrowing from Hugo's power.

However, taking advantage of the situation, Hugo hadn't greeted him before, so he still wanted to make it clear. Of course, everyone who is familiar with David knows that he is willing to showdown like this straightforwardly only with people close to him. If it is a competitor or an enemy, David doesn't mind playing tricks in secret.

"No, the band contract is not in a hurry." Hugo was actually a little surprised by David's direct attack, but he could also feel that David was not hostile, so he replied sincerely, "I Today is to seek professional advice."

David raised his eyebrows slightly, and he got an unexpected answer. In the past few days, the news about the new contract of Glory to Death has been quite turbulent. EMI Records has been unable to bear the first shot. Among the competitors, Sony Columbia Records are the strongest. After the Sony Group acquired Columbia in 1989, it brought together subsidiaries including Columbia Pictures and Columbia Records, and became the largest record company in the entire US market in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, it is reported that Bertelsmann Records has also developed a great interest in Glory to Death. In fact, Bertelsmann Records was just an unremarkable German record company based in the United States at the beginning, but it has merged with four medium-sized record companies: Records, American Music Group (), Aristal (), Geffen Records After that, he immediately had the capital to compete with Sony Columbia Records. Geffen Records was acquired in 1990 and currently operates as an independent label under Bertelsmann Records.

Globally, EMI Records is the well-deserved boss; but in the US market, the strength of Sony Columbia Records and Bertelsman Records is unquestionable. Even Warner Records and Universal Music have some advantages over EMI Records.

So, signing a glorious death, for the four major record companies in the United States, just add a cash cow-this is no one will refuse, but the strategic significance is not great, because the new metal rock rose from last year to this year The momentum is strong, but it still cannot shake the deep roots of the country, pop, and rhythm and blues in the US market-at this moment, "Bath in the Morning Light" has not yet made history, just won the championship for four consecutive weeks.

But for EMI Records, it's completely different. Therefore, EMI Records has been moving frequently recently.

David originally thought that Hugo was looking for himself today because he wanted to use Geffen Records to contain EMI Records and seek greater initiative for the band, but now it seems that this is not the case. David quickly curbed his surprise. I got up and said with interest, "This is something I didn't expect. It seems that something new is going to happen. Let's order food first, and then speak slowly, how about?"

David is a person who knows how to enjoy. Not only did he order appetizers, main dishes and desserts, but also soup, cheese and a bottle of red wine. After the appetizers came up, David quickly asked. "So, tell me something novel."

Hugo looked at David’s enthusiastic expression and chuckled lightly, “I’m afraid you will be disappointed.” Hugo’s teasing made David raise his eyebrows, and he continued, “I still remember that I was doing it some time ago. Is it about writing the script? I have finished the script now, and now I need to find investors."

David has a good memory, not to mention the news that he cares about. Hugo is a screenwriter’s new work, and I hope he can invest. This is very special for David and for the upcoming DreamWorks. The business of David and Steven in the previous months has naturally paid off, but, Whether Hugo’s script is worth the investment, and how much the return can be ~www.readwn.com~ This is what David needs to measure.

Therefore, David was not in a hurry, but he said with a smile, "After George knows, he will definitely be envious." What is said here is that when we met last time, George was very concerned about Hugo's writing of the script. Interested, but also actively asked Hugo to show him the script for browsing.

Hugo blushed a little, "David, are you teasing me? I'm worried that George will throw me out with astonishment when he sees my script." George's words that day appeared to Hugo. It was just a polite remark, he would never take it seriously.

David laughed, "Don't you worry that I will do the same?"

"So I chose such a formal occasion." Hugo pointed to the restaurant environment around him, and replied wittily, making David smile all over his eyes, "I'm serious, I think my script is more experimental in nature. , It may be more appropriate for someone who is interested in it to invest."

"Regardless of whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, at least I am interested." David picked up the red wine glass and shook it gently.

"Then at least for me, this is a good thing." Hugo said with a smile, and a sentence made David laugh again. .
