911. People are stupid and have more money
Steven Chris was also discouraged.
But my heart was filled with resentment towards several Hollywood film and television giants.
However, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has his intention.
Bick Downey is the son of David Downey, a famous North American IT giant.
Bick Downey doesn't like the IT industry, he prefers Hollywood that is so ecstatic.
In fact, the media industry is also a huge cake, but Hollywood is quite exclusive.
Even the vampires on Wall Street dare to cheat, not to mention those like Bik Downey, who seem to be stupid and have more money.
After Bick Donnie entered Hollywood with a large sum of funds, his investment was very smooth at the beginning, but in two years, he realized that none of the projects he invested in had made profits, and even if he thought he was not short of money, he felt very distressed.
Then, soon, Bick Downey began to learn from his mistakes and began to take good care of the investment projects.
However, most of Hollywood's high-quality projects have always been controlled by several giants.
Before, Bick Downey was rich and didn't choose projects, so they naturally enjoyed cheating him. The investment projects he brought him were almost all of the more spicy projects.
The result is naturally self-evident.
But when he found out that Bick Downey was not so easy to deceive, these people who were originally welcomed by the Hollywood giants who smiled and welcomed him suddenly changed their faces.
Hollywood has many platter plans, but in fact, this money is not a normal investment in film projects.
The reason why Hollywood is willing to accept these investments is mainly because of sharing risks and also to ensure capital flow.
But it does not mean that they are really willing to give up a lot of benefits.
In fact, most of Hollywood's high-quality projects are digested internally by several giants. Although they have always been in a competitive state, most of the time, competition and cooperation coexist.
Bick Donnie quickly discovered that some of the high-quality projects he liked were not taking him to play with.
What’s interesting is that Bick Downey has been cheated by several giants before, and the two most miserable giants among them are Matsumoto Universal and Miner Group.
Therefore, Bick Donnie naturally holds a grudge against this matter.
But it was useless, and he still couldn't open the situation.
Not that the Hollywood giants are really so awesome and can kill him!
In fact, the main reason is that Bick Donnie is thinking too beautifully, and the targets are all those high-quality projects. How can the Hollywood giant allow others to share the cake?
So it's normal to be cheated.
Bick Donnie naturally understands that those high-quality projects are not so easy to remember.
So, he began to switch to the independent film industry outside of several giants.
But soon he discovered that this circle is even more cruel than the mainstream Hollywood film industry.
The mainstream Hollywood film industry, especially the projects led by several giants, at least many of them look very good and promising.
But if you want to find good movie projects in the independent film industry, it is a big wave of storm!
However, Bick Downey is the son of David Downey, a madman. He has been influenced by him since childhood, so he is naturally not a fool.
Soon he found a new and reliable investment path.
Since projects are difficult to find, then do your own projects, but how to ensure the return rate? How to improve the success rate?
It’s natural to choose those who succeed!
For example, a well-known director!
But why should those successful big directors work with themselves?
So, Bick Donnie needs to find some special directors.
And Steven Chris is one of the candidates he likes.
Although Steven Chris failed in his transformation, he is actually very good at literary and artistic films.
Although the previous movie of Steven Chris failed, it actually did not lose too much, but it just didn't meet expectations.
So, Bick Donnie was more interested in Steven Chris.
Because only directors like Steven Chris who have encountered setbacks but are actually quite capable will be willing to cooperate with capital like him.
Of course, there is another point that Steven Chris's mocking Matsumoto Universal and Miner Group is exactly what he wants to say.
One of the earliest projects that Bicdonni invested in was the project of Matsumoto Universal, which was an island country comic adaptation film project.
When Matsumoto Global Investment invested, it was a sensation.
Because the investment in this project is really huge, with a total investment of US$200 million.
Large groups like Matsumoto Global are also unlikely to own a sole proprietorship, so they set up a platter plan and lobby people everywhere to invest.
In fact, that island country comic is indeed quite famous in North America, but the result is that few big capitals are willing to participate in this platter plan.
The main reason is that there is no successful precedent in Hollywood for the adapted movies of the island country, and without exception, they are all frustrating.
At this time, Matsumoto Universal took the initiative to find investment everywhere, and Bicdonnie, who was stupid and came quickly.
Bick Donnie was fooled and was fooled by various investigation data taken out by Matsumoto Global.
It suddenly smashed 80 million US dollars, which made Matsumoto Global so happy.
Then, the movie started filming, promotion and release. As a result, the box office in North America was less than 30 million! It can be said that it was a huge prehistoric pit.
Originally, it is normal for investment to fail. There is no guarantee of profitability in investment, and Bicdonnie also considered himself unlucky.
But later, Bick Donnie accidentally heard the information revealed when Matsumoto Universal was chatting with others.
It turned out that the project was a scam plan. No one in Matsumoto Global was optimistic about this project. So maybe someone would ask, why aren't it optimistic about this project but still doing this project?
Because Matsumoto Universal is completely playing tricks.
That IP belongs to Matsumoto Global. The IP itself is not valuable in North America, but they need to make this IP valuable and sell it at a good price.
Then, this project appeared.
As a result, the movie lost money and failed, but Matsumoto Universal made a lot of money.
Bick Donnie was also joking by the middle-level Matsumoto Universal as a boy who gave money.
Because the platter plan was not completed at all, the largest amount of funds came from Bicdonnie.
But they can easily make these operations legal and reasonable, so that even if you know, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
For this reason, Bicdonnie naturally held a grudge against Matsumoto Universal.
Therefore, Steven Chris' attitude towards Matsumoto Universal and Miner Group is very in line with Bick Downey's appetite.
Moreover, after all, Steven Chris has won the Academy Award for Best Director nomination, and more than once. If it weren't for the lack of public relations skills, he would probably be the Academy Award for Best Director!
