In the first class of a Boeing 747 in Los Angeles, Michael owitz has been reading all kinds of materials during his 12 hour flight.
In the initial attempt to get Sony to buy MCA, Lou wassalman offered a high price of US $8 billion. Sony, with a market value of only US $14 billion, refused. Michael owitz turned his target to Colombia. Coca Cola also intends to give up its non core business, and the two sides have officially started negotiations.
It's January 7th.
Michael owitz, who led the acquisition team that helped Sony acquire Colombia, spent two days in Tokyo and hurried back today.
Now, the young man has left for Australia to shoot Batman, but these days, Hollywood still seems to revolve around Denise entertainment. All of the materials Michael owitz looked through along the way were related to Denise entertainment.
In the past year, as of December 31, 1988, the total box office in the U.S. market was 4.69 billion U.S. dollars.
According to the deadline of December 31 and divided by distributors, Disney is the highest grossing film company in Hollywood this year, with a total of US $531 million and a box office market share of 11.3%.
After Disney, the market shares of paramount, Warner and universal are about 10%.
Among them, "scream", "steel Magnolia", "death poetry club", "Rain Man" and "awera" independently released by danelis entertainment had only $256 million at the box office as of December 31, with a market share of 5.5%.
Judging from the data alone, danelis entertainment doesn't seem to have anything special.
However, Hollywood as a whole knows that this method of calculation is totally deceiving.
According to the producer's calculation, when Harry meets Sally, vulgar novel, instinct, scream, steel magnolia, dead poets' club and rain man, danelis Entertainment's seven films this year have grossed US $730 million as of December 31.
With $730 million, Denise Entertainment's market share will immediately rise from 5.5% to 15.6%.
What can't be ignored is that the $730 million box office, which accounts for 15.6% of the market share, is only produced by seven movies. Compared with Disney's $531 million box office figure, it means 15 movies, one of which is when Harry meets Sally, which is produced by daenerys entertainment.
Moreover, if calculated according to the total North American box office estimate of these films, the total box office of the seven films is likely to reach a terrible $900 million. That's close to 20% of the U.S. annual box office.
It can be imagined that if this situation continues, Denise entertainment is very likely to become a Hollywood overlord like MGM in the golden age.
The independent film company, which has been rising for only two years, has shown such a strong potential for discovery. If it's any other case, Michael owitz will not help but praise it. But now, such a strong company is in opposition to CAA.
Michael owitz doesn't regret CAA's contribution to the Rain Man incident. He once told his clients that he could kill for them if necessary.
Officially, because CAA stands on the side of its customers unconditionally and tries to protect the interests of customers as much as possible, more and more top stars are willing to join this talent agency.
Since we can't be friends, we should be enemies.
Denise entertainment is so strong that it will seriously damage the potential of traditional Hollywood film companies. A few days ago, after his intention to try to reconcile with danielis entertainment was rejected, owitz made a trial to the heads of Hollywood's major film companies. He wanted to know if the seven major film companies could unite to suppress danielis entertainment.
The answer is No.
Among the seven, Warner is cooperating with danilisi entertainment in Batman and over the air innocence. At this time, it is impossible to compete with danilisi entertainment.
Disney also has a director's appointment with Simon westero. Judging from "Lola Run" and "vulgar novel", the films directed by Simon westero have great potential to break the box office by 100 million yuan. Disney is obviously not willing to compete with danilisi entertainment and lose a project that is likely to break the box office by 100 million yuan.
Later, fox's cooperation in three consecutive films, butterfly effect, death is coming and instinct, together with the fact that the Murdoch family and his girlfriend John Stern's family are Australians, the possibility of fox's confrontation with Simon westero is also very low.
The third of the seven, together to suppress Denise entertainment has become a fantasy.
For the rest of paramount, universal, Columbia and MGM, paramount has been doing very well in the past two years and has no intention of competing with danelis entertainment. Colombia is too busy selling themselves to do so. MGM was put together in the rain man, but it has this kind of idea, but with MGM's present state of decline, it is totally powerless.In the end, Michael owitz knew that Lou wassalman was the main driver behind the scream rating event, but somehow, there was no other action.
All in all, it is impossible for the seven major Hollywood film companies to join hands to suppress the rise of Denise entertainment. In addition to the big seven, Orion, the second - and third tier film companies, have no capital to fight against danielis entertainment.
Michael owitz also understands that, in the final analysis, there is still a lack of interest driven. In other words, although daenerys entertainment occupies a huge share of Hollywood box office, it has not yet reached the point where other film companies feel unable to survive.
In this case, Hollywood traditional forces can only fight back instinctively in some aspects.
For example, the next awards season.
Oscar winners represent interests. In order to win the award, traditional forces will definitely sell and suppress danielis entertainment.
In addition, it's probably to snatch the possible successful projects directly from Denise entertainment.
With this in mind, Michael owitz bowed his head again and found two scripts, rocket expert and Firebird strike, from a pile of materials.
In recent days, owitz has read the two plays several times and inquired in detail about Paramount's acquisition of the two plays.
Sidney Ganis, Paramount's president, bribed Simon westero's secretary to cut off the two plays. In fact, this kind of thing is not rare in Hollywood, which can not be said to be disgraceful.
However, owitz instinctively felt that it was not as simple as it seemed.
Because Simon westero's reaction seems to be a little calmer, Denise entertainment just fired the Secretary afterwards, and did not make any attempt to recover the two projects. It's abnormal to compare what Denise entertainment and CAA did in the Rain Man incident.
Michael owitz has considered many possibilities.
Or is Simon westero confident that these two projects will not succeed in the hands of others?
Or is this a trap Simon westrow has thrown out?
Neither of these conjectures seems so reliable.
Michael owitz has always believed that as long as the film company pays enough attention and resources to a project, the film can't fail too much, or at least it can't fail completely. Because a movie has to go through too many links from script to film, Hollywood is unlikely to have scripts that are doomed to fail. In most cases, it is only the creator who messes up the script in the process of shooting.
I don't know how long it took for Michael owitz to come over from his thoughts when the radio in the cabin reminded him that the plane was about to land.
Maybe, I am a little suspicious.
Denise entertainment is currently developing films with two random changes, namely Batman and angel. Warren Beatty is also recently discussing with Disney about a makeover project, the supreme detective.
Well, if you look at this "rocket expert" in your hand, maybe it's really the trend in the next few years.
As for "Firebird strike", Tom Cruise personally promoted his role in "top gun" at the beginning. Now, such a film trying to copy the successful case of "top gun" is obviously impossible to fail as long as it is done seriously.
Moreover, it is said that Matt Dillon, the agent of Jonathan Friedman, is trying to win over the hero of "Firebird strike". The relationship between Jonathan Friedman and Simon westero is self-evident, which is enough to rule out the possibility that the play is a trap.
When the plane began to land, Michael owitz gathered the information in front of him and fastened his seat belt. He had made up his mind to let CAA artists fight for the dominance of the two projects as much as possible. Cruise should not be willing to repeat the similar role of "top gun", so the hero of "rocket expert" is very suitable for him.
With this calculation, I got off the plane all the way.
As soon as he sat down in the company's car, owitz's assistant told him something that happened suddenly these two days.
In recent days, one of CAA's leading TV stars, Kirsty Ellie, suddenly announced that she would switch to wma. Kirsty Ellie is still very famous in the TV circle. If a star of this level insists on job hopping, it is usually difficult for the brokerage company to retain him. CAA did not care, simply let the other party leave.
Then, just this morning, danilisi entertainment suddenly announced that Kirsty Ellie had officially joined the "flying over innocence" crew, replacing Meg Ryan as the number one actress.
After listening to the assistant's narration, owitz, who was always well cultivated, couldn't help yelling at people in the carriage.
Just a star job hopping, owitz doesn't care. However, the sudden arrival of Denise entertainment may send a wrong signal to the circle: if you want to join the films of Denise entertainment, you should quit CAA first.It can be imagined that if this view spreads, if the box office miracle of danielis entertainment continues, CAA will definitely face a brain drain disaster.
