"The wizard of commercial films has not been able to resist the temptation of the Oscar for Best Director. Will Ronald Lee transform into an art film director?"

The next day, many Hollywood newspapers published manuscripts of Ronald's interview. Although the title was very exaggerated, the content was quite objective, focusing on two main points:

First, Ronald does not believe that whether the stage play is adapted or whether there are recent movies with similar stories that have tired the audience are the key reasons for box office success or failure. No matter how Hollywood and Wall Street judge it now, he still insists that good stories and good performances are the key factors in box office success.

The old saying that is the key reason for success or failure.

Second, Ronald is indeed spending money to collect some highly artistic film scripts. But he does not admit that this is to compete for the Oscar for Best Director, but because the current film industry needs to give some space to art films and independent films.

Ronald is willing to do this job of giving back to Hollywood.

"Do you think I'm tall..." Ronald smiled to Diane, who was also reading the report.

"Yes, yes... get me a glass of water, dear, and bring me two of those oranges from Ehime Prefecture..."

Diane ordered Ronald to do something when she had the chance, and the two of them enjoyed themselves happily.

…

"Is it effective?" Ronald asked him when he saw David Simkins who came to report at home.

"There is no news yet, but my source said that your remarks have been compiled into a summary, and both CEO Daley and President Temer will read it.

Ronald nodded. This was a strategy he had discussed with Simkins and Michael Gray, the public relations consultant.

He deliberately released some news that was false and true, and then hoped to influence the attitude of Warner Bros. executives. After all, these news are not all false. It is not a secret within Hollywood that Ronald hopes to win the Oscar for Best Director.

Often, opponents will be fooled by information that is 80% true and 20% false.

The so-called stage play adaptations are not doing well at the box office, and other scripts with similar stories that have been released recently are not doing well at the box office. This is a newly popular box office prediction formula in Hollywood and Wall Street. There are also large studios that have hired programmers and made a set

Evaluation models are used to score each script, casting, and director in an attempt to predict the box office prospects of the project.

Warner Bros. actually bought this script because of a word from CEO Robert Daley. As an invisible Jew, people in American society now have an increased resentment towards Jews on Wall Street and the media who break the rules.

The trend is a bit worrying.

In a sense, this script of "Other People's Money" also clears the reputation of Jewish bankers. After all, the banker Garfinkel's name sounds Jewish, and the name of the factory owner Jorgensen,

A name more in line with an old-school entrepreneur.

However, it is not certain whether the other party will really take this kind of influence seriously and whether they will take the bait.

"There is indeed a trend in Hollywood to use mathematics to quantify box office..." Michael Gray added next to him. His consulting company, which uses common sense and experience to do movie marketing, has recently received a lot of competition, and those young people have

With just a computer, I can compete with him for big projects. If Ronald hadn't cooperated with him for a long time, there would be real pressure in business.

"They don't understand movies, they don't understand Hollywood..." Ronald doesn't believe this. Today's computers are still far from the future computers that are smarter than humans in Hollywood science fiction dramas. His Ghost

The movie is being delayed by the post-production of special effects and will not be initially completed until next year.

"Really, many producers who have stockpiled scripts adapted from best-selling novels are now selling scripts." Simkins added with a smile.

"Really, I heard the news before I came here that Steve, the youngest son of the Tisch family in New York, also began to seek to sell the Forrest Gump script. When he bought it from the original author Winston Groom

It’s too expensive, so it’s hard to sell it now…”

"Ah?" Ronald jumped up from the sofa when he heard the news, "Why do you want to sell it? Really?"

"Well, because Steve Tisch Jr. said that they always make movies with an idiot male protagonist. If they make another movie, they will be like Valmont. Even if the movie is better than the previous movie Dangerous Liaison, it will fail at the box office.

What’s more, last year’s Rain Man won many Oscars and did very well at the box office.” Michael Gray told Ronald all the gossip he had heard.
