[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

And just when everyone thought that Fopper would take advantage of the victory and continue to star in a series of big productions during the hot period when both Golden Globes and Oscars were won, a piece of news was first revealed.

"Disney spent 30 billion US dollars to acquire the shares of Goldfinger Film Company! The dark horse in the film and television industry has changed hands!"

-- "Hollywood Today"

"It is reported that Disney's board of directors announced not long ago that it will spend 30.32 billion US dollars to acquire 80.00% of the shares of Goldfinger (North America) Film Company in Fopper's hand. It has obtained the control of Goldfinger (North America) Film Company and all the assets under its company name. Film and television copyright. The president of Goldfinger (North America) film company Fopper, the general manager Hughes and others all resigned, and Disney sent personnel to carry out the company handover. This means that Disney not only owns the already very popular movie IP, but also We have acquired the copyrights of a series of film adaptations including "Twilight" and "The Great Gatsby" acquired by Fopper in recent years..."

Everyone was shocked by this news.What did Fopper rely on to break into Hollywood?It's his film company.why would you say so?Although the United States is a country that claims to be free.But in fact, there is racism in many places.And Hollywood is one of the worst.

The reason why Fopper can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood is because of his Goldfinger film company.He can shoot movies by himself, unlike other stars.But now, he wants to sell the film company he relies on for survival.This is simply unbelievable.Although it is known from the news that Fopper did not sell all the shares, and even in a sense he became a minority shareholder of Disney.However, compared to a company like Lionsgate that can pose a threat to the current traditional six major film companies, this is simply a loss of watermelon and sesame seeds.

And why would Fopper do this?In fact, it was Fopper's own fault, as if he had split up Goldfinger Film Company before, and then handed over all Huaxia to Yunlong and Yuqing.He also has long been willing to sell the North American film company here.After all, no matter which Fopper it is, he has no experience in managing a company.Maybe there are people who study real estate.But you really can't expect someone who studied real estate to manage an entertainment studio.Maybe it's okay to have a golden finger now, but in the future, it will definitely be so cheating that you can't find the north.So Fopper decided to take action immediately without doing anything.Of course, there is another reason for this.That's why he wants to buy Marvel.He had this idea before.It's just that my own economic strength was really not enough before.But after Goldfinger Films sold it.The assets here are definitely enough to buy the entire Marvel.As for the reason for doing this... Maybe it is because this will be a cash cow in the future, and it is out of investment considerations.But the bigger reason is because he needs to have a certain say in Marvel.After all, Chris is married to him now, and it's hard to say whether it will be the original "Captain America" ​​in the future.

However, these all need to be considered. After all, during this period of time, the news that he sold Goldfinger Film Company was hot.Many reporters even wanted to find a relationship to ask about Fopper.But there was no sign of Fopper.

And a month later, the news of Fopper's acquisition of Marvel finally appeared, shaking the entertainment circle.

"Fopper's road to becoming a tycoon! $43 billion in Marvel! "Captain America" ​​belongs to Fopper!"

——The Voice of America

"Not long ago everyone was wondering why Fopper needed such a large amount of money, and now we finally have the answer. It's Marvel! Our comic book giant announced today that it has formally entered into a deal with Fopper Fopper invested US$43 billion to acquire Marvel, and the board of directors will sell more than 80.00% of the shares. Fopper has absolute control over Marvel. I believe everyone understands that Fopper’s rights in Hollywood will be It will be even worse! His road to a tycoon will begin. Last year on the Hollywood power list, Fopper became one of the 48 most powerful people in Hollywood with a score of [-]. He is also the only Chinese who entered the list .And now he has Marvel again. I can say with certainty here that next year his ranking will definitely be higher!"

Everyone was shocked by this news.Among them, people in the entertainment industry were the most shocked.After all, not only Disney and Goldfinger Film Company, even Showu has a great influence on the entertainment industry.And now the huge film and television IP of Marvel has fallen into the hands of Fopper.Although people now have hot and cold situations about comic movies and don't know how to locate them.But one thing they know is that this is a very large resource pool.

Instead, it will be spent in July in the chaos of Hollywood.It was not until the beginning of the Hollywood summer vacation that Fang Qiu formally announced the end of the discussion about Fopper's business criticism.On Fopper's side, it was not until July, when he had just settled all his business matters, that he began to prepare his new movie.

"Blowout Drummer", this is Fopper's upcoming new movie.It is also a film that Fopper feels confident about.

This movie is really a coincidence, and he discovered it by accident when he was bored as a script hunter.

Speaking of script hunters, this is indeed a very interesting profession.You know, Fopper was not famous for his acting skills in the beginning in Hollywood, but for his classic scripts.He is also a member of the Writers Guild of North America.In fact, except for the kind of self-written and self-directed directors with particularly big brains, the remaining screenwriters are all members of the North American Screenwriters Association.Because after becoming a member of the North American Screenwriters Association, it means that producers, actors, and directors of various North American film and television companies can spend a few dollars to tens of dollars to watch your script. If there is an eye-catching script, they will also bid to trade the copyright of the script with the screenwriter member.

And another advantage is that even if they read the script, they won't worry about being plagiarized.Because those who can read the screenplay are all real-name registered members of various associations, and they all signed a confidentiality agreement. Once plagiarism or any leaking behavior is involved, the intermediary association will take legal action against them.

Of course, in addition to this kind of registered members, there is also a formal script hunter.There are thousands of such professional script hunters in Hollywood, and their performance is linked to whether the scripts they have selected are adapted into works by their superiors.Each film company has its own script hunters, even Fopper's Goldfinger Film Company before.These script hunters will use their own eyes to assess the value of the script.From bad scripts worth a few thousand dollars to top-notch scripts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.All judged through their own eyes.Of course, this kind of price is considered very rare in Fopper's view.After all, compared to the box office of movies that cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.Screenwriters get too little benefit.It is because of this factor that there will be a general strike by screenwriters in the future.

And "Burst Drummer" was obtained in such a situation.At first, Fopper didn't feel that the script was the same script as the movie he had seen before.After all, even the names of the scripts are different.However, after confirming that the general framework was actually the same and the screenwriter was the same person, Fopper knew that the script he found was the script of the movie in his memory.So Fopper had a friendly discussion with the script's screenwriter, Damien Chazelle.And spent a lot of money to buy the script from him.Of course, the money is paid by Disney, and they also invested in the shooting of the movie.This was one of the additional conditions for selling Goldfinger Films.

And after going through the brain holes of Fopper and Damien Chazelle, no matter who it is, it feels that this movie will become a classic.Even Fopper felt that the script was better than the original.So, he also actively started to prepare for the shooting.
