Hollywood Hunter

Jack Valenti resisted being controlled by the young man in front of him and said, "Simon, the answer to this question is obvious."

"Yeah, obviously, the writers want more and better pay," Simon simply answered for Jack Valenti and continued: "However, it's basically because of the writers and producers. The People's Alliance has completely different positions. With different positions, there will be conflicts of interest, and conflicts are destined to cause losses, or even lose both, just like the past six months."

Jack Valenti felt Simon's calm and sharp eyes, and suddenly felt that he was really old.

"I see what you mean, Simon, but it's definitely not a wise choice. You can't go against the whole of Hollywood."

Simon shook his head and said, "Jack, you don't understand, I have no plans to fight against the whole of Hollywood. Although I am not afraid of this, right now, we are discussing the issue of position."

Jack Valenti wondered: "A position issue?"

"Yes, position issue, Jack, I don't dislike the rating committee's differentiated review strategy, vested interests maintain their own privileges, which is the instinct of any industry field. The traditional big seven studios are Hollywood's vested interests. , even Orion is actually in the same vein as the seven majors. They are the 'players' in this industry, and they are the rule-makers. The weak independent production companies can only submit to the rules like 'chess pieces'. This is very unfair, but also Fair enough. The problem now is that Daenerys Entertainment has the strength to become a Hollywood 'player', and some people still treat this company as a 'pawn', which is pushing Daenerys Entertainment to be with them Completely opposing positions."

Jack Valenti listened quietly and said, "Simon, since you understand this, you should also know that the change of status is never easy, you can't expect Daenerys Entertainment to be so quickly defeated by traditional Hollywood forces. accept."

"Whether you take the initiative or are forced to, you always have to face reality," Simon leaned forward slightly, looking at Jack Valenti and said slowly: "Next Monday, Daenerys Entertainment will resubmit "Scream" 's rating review, which is the last time this year, and also determines the position of Daenerys Entertainment. If "Scream" still fails to pass the R-rating review, I will face the reality and cancel the release plan of this film, And confirm my 'pawn' position. Then I will stand in my position and lead the other 'pawns' against the mpaa rating committee's longstanding injustice against independent producers."

Jack Valenti leaned on the back of the chair without a trace, but did not avoid the eyes of the young man opposite, and said, "Simon, do you think no one has ever done this?"

"The real 'pawn' is in the game, and naturally it is difficult to defy the rules. Daenerys Entertainment is different. The production cost of "Scream" is 10 million US dollars, which is very difficult for many independent producers. It could be an investment that decides whether the company exists or not, and if they encounter a similar crackdown, they usually have to bow to the big studios and take the initiative to hand over the distribution rights to the Big Seven to avoid losses. But I don't care, Jack, $10 million , even if I lose all of it, it doesn't matter to me, Hollywood shouldn't find a second richer than me," Simon said, suddenly accentuating: "But I will never be willing to bear this loss , they pushed a 'player' who is fully capable of breaking the rules on the board, don't blame me for breaking the rules. If "Scream" still fails to pass the review, first of all, the major mainstream media in North America will immediately There's a press release about the film being mistreated in the rating process, but that's just the beginning. Then I'll invest another $10 million in a film about what's happened to Hollywood's sole producers since the advent of the 'voluntary film rating system' The Injustice Documentary, Jack, I've had people list over 30 similar films that I intend to focus on for this documentary, and the list is in your folder."

Jack Valenti subconsciously reopened the folder in front of him. After the rating review memo for "Instinct" and "Scream", there was indeed a long list of movies, many of which are familiar.

Simon continued without waiting for Jack Valenti to respond: "It's very easy to justify the unfair ratings of these sole-producer films just by comparing the simplest of the Big Seven films with similar plots of these films. As a 'player' who has been pushed to the 'pawn' position, I will lead all the 'pawns' to change this extremely unjust movie rating system. Since the positions are different, I don't think the rating committee should be controlled by mpaa at all , it should either be an official federal agency, or be led by a wider membership like the Film and Television Producers' Union, in order to keep it as independent and impartial as possible. I can take it out if necessary $10 million to lobby the federal government. I believe that once the matter is launched, those independent producers who have been suppressed for a long time will definitely contribute their own strength in the process. Finally, I can even initiate the establishment of a special foundation. , filed a lawsuit against mpaa for a huge amount of compensation for the films that suffered from excessive ratings and suffered commercial box office losses in the past 20 years. Even if the lawsuit fails, I will stick to it. At that time, I am very curious about whether the annual budget of mpaa will be enough. Sustaining expensive litigation. Jack, do you want me to go on?"

Jack Valenti felt a thin layer of sweat unknowingly develop on his back.

If the documentary in Simon's narration does come out, mpaa is immediately in a very passive situation. Don't say the names of these 30 movies in the file

It's just that the two ratings review documents of "Instinct" and "Scream" are very clearly differentiated. Once published, it will be enough for Daenerys Entertainment to take advantage of public opinion.

Once the turmoil arises, the federal government has to take it seriously, which creates the possibility for Daenerys Entertainment to lobby.

Finally, the establishment of a special foundation to carry out lawsuit bombing is a very effective method, which can be called a rogue. No company or industry association can resist this kind of fatigue offensive for a long time.

Public opinion offensive, money strategy, lawsuit bombing.

Combining the three, sometimes subverting a regime is enough, let alone an industry association supported by a few companies, such as mpaa.

At a certain moment, Jack Valenti even had a strong doubt as to how this young man, who was only 20 years old this year, came up with these confrontation strategies that were more poignant and sophisticated than many senior politicians.

There is obviously other information behind the 30-movie list in the folder, but Jack Valenti found that he was a little too afraid to go through it. He closed the increasingly heavy folder again, and looked up at the young man on the opposite side. : "Simon, it won't do you any good doing this."

"I understand," Simon said with a serious expression, "but it's a matter of position, and it's some people's own choice. Jack, some time ago, an elder just taught me not to break the rules easily, and I really don't want to do it. But, Since we have chosen opposition, this is the inevitable result."

"Just for a Scream?"

"If this problem cannot be completely solved, Daenerys Entertainment will face more similar situations in the future, so, Jack, I will not back down."

Jack Valenti pondered for a moment and said, "Simon, you shouldn't have told me these words."

"You are the chairman of mpaa, Jack, you are obliged to lobby the federal government for bills that benefit the Hollywood film industry, and you are also obliged to let the big Hollywood studios understand their situation. Also, the old men are very good face, talking about this in person , I am worried that they are too embarrassed, and even angry. So, I am still a very good junior. "

"An aggressive and respectful junior," Jack Valentine twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Simon, don't you see that I'm already an old man?"

Simon shrugged. "Sorry, Jack, but it's your job."

A few half-joking words made the tense atmosphere just now relaxed a lot. As lunch was served, Simon also took the initiative to chat about lighter topics. However, Jack Valenti couldn't relax at all in his heart.

After lunch, Jack Valenti walked out of the restaurant with Simon.

Looking at the young man in the rearview mirror who was standing at the door of the restaurant watching him, Jack Valenti picked up the car phone and dialed a series of numbers just after the car turned a corner. The call was connected, he glanced at the folder on the co-pilot, and said in a serious tone: "Lu, I'm afraid we have to talk, talk about it carefully, I'll go to your side now."

Simon waited for Jack Valenti's car to go away, but he didn't board his car parked on the side of the road. He just walked south along the north-south street outside the restaurant at random, sorting out a lot of recent things in his mind.

Simon's remarks at lunch did not mean to bluff at all.

After this time, if "Scream" still fails to get the rating it deserves, Simon will not hesitate to stir up a storm and show the entire Hollywood that Daenerys Entertainment exists.

As for the result, let's do it first.

While strolling, I unknowingly came to the end of the street, and in front of me was a low highway overpass, which was the 101 highway across Burbank.

Looking at the overpass in front of him, Simon suddenly remembered the first time he came to Los Angeles after his rebirth. He got into the car in Watsonville, just following the highway in front of him into downtown Burbank, and had to spend the night in the valley because he underestimated the lack of public transportation in Los Angeles.

Two years have passed, but the situation at that time seems to have been a long time ago. The public transportation in Los Angeles has not improved in the past two years, but he is no longer the poor boy he used to be.

The two women he met for the first time had also become the closest people around him unknowingly.

Noticing a public phone booth on the street, Simon suddenly wanted to call Janet or Catherine.

When I walked to the phone booth, I found that I had no coins, only a few brand new hundred-yuan bills in my wallet. The lunch just now was naturally his treat, but even the tip was settled with a credit card, and Simon couldn't even remember the last time he used cash to buy something.

Janet took care of his life so meticulously, Simon discovered a long time ago that Janet had to rely more and more on her 'little conspiracy' to make him completely incapacitated. As a human being in two lifetimes, it is naturally impossible for Simon to truly become a person who does not distinguish between five grains, but he seldom bothers about these trivial things in life.

Neil Bennett, who had been driving slowly beside Simon, noticed the boss's actions and stopped the car with some doubts. He didn't know why Simon didn't choose to use the car phone, but walked to the public phone booth instead. Noticing the way Simon was checking his wallet, Neil Bennett pushed the door and got out of the car, and took the initiative to pass a few coins to Simon.

By phone yesterday, Janet, who had just traveled around Europe, is now living in the mansion in Cannes, France.

During this time, Janet has personally looked at all the properties that Sophia Fisher has selected, confirmed them, and is currently working on a loan.

total sixteen

Although he intends to buy all of the mansion, Simon has no plan to pay in full, and he can't come up with the cash now.

However, with Simon's current wealth, he wants to take out loans, and banks in North America and Europe are happy to lend him money. After all, the loan was very secure for the bank, and Simon's multibillion-dollar net worth meant he was well-positioned to repay.

Even in the event that Simon can't repay the loan, the properties themselves can be repaid. .

Although he clearly remembered the phone number in Cannes, the public phone in front of him could not make international calls. Simon put the coin into the phone and had to call Catherine's apartment in New York.

After the absurdity of that night, Katherine has been living in New York. The reason given by the woman was to make "Blue Angels of Thunder", but Simon could feel that Catherine was at a loss for the relationship between two or three people, so he deliberately avoided it.

It's the afternoon work time in New York, and I don't know if Katherine is at home or not.

"Thunderbolt Blue Angel" has been basically completed, but Simon knows that Catherine's life is not monotonous. At present, New York is still the home base of American independent films. Catherine gets along well with this circle. Recently, she also served as the producer of another independent film in the process of completing the later stage of "Blue Angel of Thunder".

I didn't expect it, but the phone was unexpectedly connected.

"Catherine, it's me," Hearing the woman's voice, Simon held the microphone and turned to lean on the glass cover of the phone booth, looking at the traffic on the road: "It's nothing, just here in Burbank, thinking of calling you Phone, what are you doing at home at this time... oh... Jenny will be back in the middle of next month, so, do you want to come to Los Angeles... I'm standing on the side of the road, of course there is a car noise, I don't think you will change the subject... hehe , why can't I stand on the side of the road... It's really nothing to do, I just had dinner with Jack Valenti, thinking about taking a walk on the street to help digestion... No one is watching, there are few people here , I'm a little lost, I should go to Rodeo Drive... Since you don't want to come back, how about I sneak over there tomorrow night? Well, so happily decided... Okay, okay, then I'll find other time Go over there...then, kiss...they don't know who you're kissing...or you take your phone and hide in the bathroom...heh, well, bye."
