Ace Hollywood

(Second update, a little sad to ask for a collection and a recommendation)

"Danny, I want to make a movie."

"what?"

"You mean you want to be an actor or a director?" Daniel was stunned, "Don't you hate Hollywood?"

"No no no, you see I'm not that material, I mean I want to invest in movies." David waved his hands, "Yes, Hollywood is a bitch, but I used to decide to stay away from here because I don't I may succeed here, I don't have your conditions, and I don't have any talent, I'm destined to be a failure in Hollywood like my mother, so why should I come here."

"But it's different now, Danny, I have four million in my pension fund, and I can use the remaining thirty million to open a film company and make a movie. I know that thirty million is for "Gladiator" Or a big production like "The Lord of the Rings" is nothing, but it can also make a "School Blues"." David obviously started planning these after winning the lottery, and it sounds clear.

Daniel's brows furrowed together. To be honest, he has no experience in capital operations, but after all, he has already come into contact with some. Film investment is one thing, such as "Snow Eagle Fund", they will have a team to follow up the entire financial process, In order to ensure that his investment will not be abused and his rights will not be swallowed up - but it is only a pure investor, and it has no right to speak in the process of film production and distribution. At most, it can recommend actors, but no Discretion.

The production company is a completely different matter. You have to contact how many people the entire film needs, and then support it. All departments have to work together to complete a film. This is still the beginning, and the next thing is distribution. , Big distribution companies, such as the Seven, they sometimes issue DVDs directly to you, and they don't even have the qualifications to enter the theater. And for new companies, the division is absolutely harsh, and there are many tricks in it.

David clearly wants to make his own movies, his purpose is not to make money, but to be successful in Hollywood.

"David, you need to think again. Investing in filmmaking is not an easy thing, it's countless times more difficult than being an actor or director."

"I know, I know, so I'm here to find you. Otherwise, I'll go directly to register the company."

"I'm just a newcomer who has been in Hollywood for less than two years. I can't support you in a company." Daniel had a headache, and the old man seemed to trust him too much.

David still didn't care, "I can wait for you, a year or two, I plan to go around the world, and by the time I go back to Los Angeles, you must have become a superstar."

"You really have confidence in me."

"This is the prophecy of a Powerball first prize winner, Danny, you have to believe in God." David looked solemn, "Besides, I'm a good person, good people never lie."

"That's because good people who lie are winners, so they can change history," Daniel rolled his eyes, "You decide where to go first, every rich person has dreams of traveling the world, you're a cheesy nice guy.

……

Despite the dire situation, David still gave up his mind, so on the last day of his rest day, Daniel contacted Tim Rowland, whom he had just met, and took the liberty to explain the situation: He had a friend who had some money, and he wanted to Make your own movies.

"Snow Eagle Fund" has decades of experience in film investment. Although it has never participated in the production, it is still very useful for reference. Tim himself has a broad vision.

Tim Rowland has been in Los Angeles during this time. Before "Gladiator" is promoted to the audience, these investors and producers must establish a good relationship with all parties in advance, such as rating committees, such as theater chains, such as well-known brands. Critics and media editors, etc., a lot of work needs to be done ahead. Tim is well-connected, and naturally he can't hide in San Francisco and be lazy.

Still, he graciously spared a few hours to entertain Daniel and David.

"Seeing you, I really feel that our era has passed."

"It's not funny, Tim."

"I mean it from the bottom of my heart, Daniel," Tim gestured for them to try the freshly brewed coffee, a small South American variety with a special taste. "This little guy, Mr. David Roses ."

"You can call me Dave, or Dave." Dave was a little restrained, he couldn't be restrained, the strength of "Snow Eagle Fund" was not comparable to his 30 million.

"Dave, you are very admirable. Young people these days, who have such a large amount of money, only think of food, drink, and fun, and rarely can realize their dreams. From this point, you are really good young people."

"But, as Daniel said, making a movie is risky, it's not that it's hard to make a movie, all kinds of talents in Hollywood are looking for opportunities, you only need to have a check of tens of millions With a wave of your hand, you can find candidates for all the positions a movie needs. But these people may not be the right people, and they may not be able to make a good movie. Besides, whether your distribution partner is capable, worthwhile Not to be trusted."

"Of course, I support your dreams, so I can give you a suggestion, wait."

Tim Rowland looked at Daniel.

"Wait for your friend~www.novelmt.com~ If he can be successful, you can make your own success rate skyrocket, a convincing big star who can help you attract a good script, director, and even distribution Business. His connections can also protect your investment. But right now, Daniel is not enough, unless you can attract other big names, don’t start easily.”

"Yes, that's what I plan to do. I plan to go around the world first and wait for a year or two." David's plan was the same as Tim's suggestion, which made him a little more confident.

"Then poor Daniel is under a lot of pressure."

Daniel cooperated with a bitter face.

"Indeed, I'm going to meet my failed film tomorrow, Tim, you can't imagine that this student short film is now almost my future and destiny."

"Haha, I'll take a look when I get a chance. Is it the end of May?"

"Yes, as they said, in order to prevent cheating, the students submit their films directly at the screening meeting, and the judges will grade them directly after watching it. Interesting, right?"

"really."

……

David went to Stanford the next day, and met Mark once, who was busy with his feet off the ground. Now this man is so hairy, he doesn't quite recognize his original appearance.

"I really thought I made a mistake." David described the meeting scene when he called Daniel, "Where's the gorilla."

This made Daniel feel a little better when he was affected by the unhappiness he encountered on the first day of filming.
