Chapter 1212 (2/2)

David Harnett sighed. ”I don't like their working environment. It's full of copper smell. In everyone's eyes, money is still money. It's not a company that really likes movies. There's no human touch in it.”

”I joined Columbia Pictures ten years ago, and my boss was Hugo Joshua. He was a good man and a real filmmaker with special feelings for movies. I have great respect for him, and he has taken a fancy to me and given me a lot of opportunities, which makes me step by step from a little boy to today's film emperor's position. It's a pity that six years ago, he died of illness and the company was handed over to his son, Isaiah Joshua. Everything has changed. He has become mercenary. He can no longer find the feeling of Hugo Joshua when he was alive

”Xiao, do you believe it? I haven't been to Columbia Pictures' headquarters for three years. I won't even go to the annual meeting. Isaiah Joshua seemed to know that I had made up my mind to go, and didn't even mean to stay. Hehe, anyway, I've made a lot of money for the company in the past ten years. He didn't even meet me. Just in the phone, the false appeal for some time, and then there is no movement. It's sad to think about it. ”

Xiao Yunhai said in a deep voice: ”nothing to be sad about. Columbia Pictures has gone from bad to worse in recent years. Although it has several Oscar winners and many Grammy winning singers, they have not made good use of them. The films and albums produced are not so well received. In the increasingly competitive Hollywood, I think it is not far away from the end. I'm sorry, but I'm telling the truth

David Harnett said with a little sadness: ”yes, it will be very difficult for it to return to its former glory unless someone can suddenly come forward to turn the tide.”

Xiao Yunhai was silent for a moment and said, ”David, I didn't expect that you should have left Columbia Pictures for this reason. In this case, let's come to marvel. I can assure you, as Mr. Hugo Joshua can do, so can I. I can do what he can't do. David, we all love movies and share a lot of common language. Why not give marvel and me a chance

David Harnett shook his head and said, ”I'm sorry, Shaw. I don't want to join any company, including your marvel. Over the years, I've made a lot of money myself. I'd like to set up a small film company and invite some directors to make films I like. This way of working gives me a sense of freedom and I really don't want to be constrained by the company any more. ”Hearing David Harnett's words, Xiao Yunhai couldn't help shaking his head and saying, ”David, I didn't expect that this guy is an idealist without any common sense of business. Ha ha, I didn't see that. Do you think you can set up a film company and be free? I'm kidding

”I tell you that if your plan is completely wrong, it will only make you more constrained. From the preparation to the final screening of a film, it takes many steps, such as shooting, post production, review, publicity, distribution, release and so on. Now you can do a few things. I counted the first three points. The rest of you need help. David, your film company won't bring you freedom. It will just lock you up like a chain and make you less free. Do you understand? ”

Mo Yina, who was next to her, obviously didn't expect that the famous film emperor would be so naive. She could not help asking Melinda next to her, ”Mr. Harnett wants to set up a film company. Why don't you stop him?”

Melinda shook her head and said with a wry smile, ”David just said to be a free man. He didn't tell me to start a company. If I had known, I would have stopped him

With that, Melinda said to David, ”Mr. Shaw is right. You should think about it. And what I want to tell you is that it's hard to manage a film company with your personality. ”

”I'm sorry, Melinda,” said David hannett stubbornly. ”I've made up my mind.”

Xiao Yunhai thought about it and said, ”David, why don't you set up a personal studio?”

David Harnett was stunned and said, ”personal studio? What? ”

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”this is a new thing I created. Let's put it this way, when a star becomes famous and wants to do a career on his own and is divorced from the high dependence on the entertainment company, but finds that he does not have the ability to be perfect, then he can set up a personal studio relying on the entertainment company. Use their own popularity and influence, borrow the resources of the parent company to integrate. The employees are recruited by the stars themselves, who are responsible for their own profits and losses, and maintain their own independence. When you see a good film, you can make your own investment, choose your own directors and actors to shoot. If you encounter problems such as capital, distribution and projection, you can also seek the parent company behind to solve them. Only the benefits obtained should be shared with the parent company. In this way, all the problems of stars will be solved. David, don't you think this studio is right for you

David Harnett listened to the glare of his eyes and nodded.
