"Okay, guys, I know you care about me very much, and I know you have done a lot for me, but... don't worry, it will be fine." Sean said immediately, and said with a matte blow to them.

Frankly speaking, there has been a lot of good news during this period, such as the TV script of "The Big Bang Theory" has been obtained by Reincarnation Pictures. This is a TV series that Sean remembers little clearly, so it started to attract attention in the middle of this year and successfully reached an agreement with Chuck Lor, one of the creators.

This means that Cyclone Film will continue to maintain its advantages in TV production with other production companies in the same level.

In addition, good news came from youtube. After more than half a year of negotiations, the parent companies of the five major TV stations finally officially came forward. Although it is estimated that they will be in talks for another half a year, this is a good sign.

"In fact, what we really need is suppliers, so the goal is them at the beginning." Neil explained.

That's right, youtube itself is a channel, or new media. As long as there are enough high-quality programs, it is not difficult to watch for paid viewing. However, in this way, suppliers are very important. If they join forces to ask for a lot of share and leave if they can't reach an agreement, it will be a problem for youtube.

"We can't act too urgently and make them feel profitable. You know, we are new media, and now we are the most valuable ones. If they want to take the first bus, they have to give enough benefits." Neil planned it at the beginning.

As a new media and a very rapid development of new media, it is impossible for several major media groups not to ignore it. But since they are old media groups, it will inevitably be more difficult to turn around and adapt to the new environment immediately. Then cooperating with existing new media and even including it in the group will become the best choice.

However, so far, as for video websites, the first youtube who is trying to do something new is undoubtedly the fastest and most large-scale, with the support of Sean's funds, so if they want to reach out to new media early, they can't avoid it. This is also where Neil's confidence and trump card lies.

Therefore, we keep negotiating and exchanging conditions, carefully cover our trump card and then peek at others, and then reach an agreement through constant temptation and confrontation.

Therefore, although it is only for several major media groups behind the five major TV stations to stand out, it can indeed be considered a victory. At this time, a little push is added - in late November, driven by Reincarnation Pictures, several mid-range production companies, Lions Gate, Weinstein, AMC, etc., have reached agreements with YouTube to start trial operation of paid on-demand business.

So far, the paid on-demand business has been quite smooth. Although it has only been half a month and cannot play a decisive role, just looking at the booming situation, you can tell that time is on their side. As for Wall Street, since it has been so long and they still haven't responded, it's better to trust Neil.

This is one aspect. As for the other hand, Alexander and Suri are growing up healthily, and Suri caught a small cold in early December. Although Katie is not as careful and patient as Naomi, she is basically competent as a mother. Camilla and Haydn are still tangled with Sean, sometimes being ostentatious and sometimes being well-behaved, and his bold style is very helpful.

However, "The Blood is Coming" is ultimately a thorn. Whether it was "The Genius Ripley" or "The Aviator", even though he was full of setbacks, he still tried his best to overcome it. In addition to his own efforts, he also had a lot of friends to help. However, in this regard, he faced the point of being powerful and having nowhere to be used.

After all, in the face of such an owner of the film copyright, the independent film director and producer will not be a problem as long as he can convince the other party. But Anderson has undoubtedly completely sentenced Sean to death in his heart. This independent film director has always been self-centered. Weinstein also said that he has a bad temper and naturally will not agree no matter what.

"Why don't we find a way to threaten him, you are also a big shot in Hollywood." Garen once suggested this, of course, this is a joke.

Sean is indeed a big shot in Hollywood, but there are more than one big shot in Hollywood, and there are more and more big shots. If he is the CEO of the Media Group, if he is the boss of the theater, if he is an investor, he can naturally make him surrender in various ways, but unfortunately he is not. Of course, even now, he can also cause obstacles to Anderson through various connections and finally make him admit defeat, but there are two problems.

First of all, as mentioned above, there are many big names, and Anderson may not be able to hold on to other big names when he is impatient. In the eyes of most people, "Blood is coming" is just a literary and artistic film. They are not Sean, and they do not have the intuition to detect the future. They must think that Sean is making a big deal.

If they come forward and ask Sean to give them face, will Sean give it or not?

Then, the second question is also a more important one. Even if he surrenders, what if he doesn't cooperate during the shooting? I said before that an independent filmmaker like Anderson regards his own production power more important than anything else. If he is forced to shoot randomly, who will bear the consequences?

Well, you can change the director, but don’t forget that one of the highlights of independent films is the director’s style. Can different directors shoot the same effect? ​​Don’t forget what Sean’s purpose is. Don’t forget that he worked hard to give up a series of blockbuster movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, and picked and used the "Fast and Furious" and "Batman Prequel" series to maintain commercial value, and at the same time searched for suitable literary and artistic characters everywhere.

The audience may like or even be obsessed with Captain Sparrow, but the judges of the Film Academy did not. They gave Depp a nomination in the first part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", which was basically at its limit.

Is this road really that difficult? Sean couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Something that was clearly within his reach slipped away because of an accident and was unwilling to accept it. In addition, Zoe and Emily are still unable to handle the matter, and Natalie refused to meet in the near future because of the previous incident. Naturally, she couldn't get better. Now it seems that she can only hope for time.

"Look at it, it will be fine in a few weeks." Sean said again at this time, barely pushing out a smile.

Garen and the others had nothing to say, and came over and patted his shoulders one by one, and then a voice rang out: "What are the characters who are easy to win the Oscar for Best Actor, Sean?"

The sound came from the floor-to-ceiling window. Frederick had been standing there against the wall since he came, holding his chin and thinking about the problem until he asked a question just now.

"What?" Sean didn't know what he wanted to say.

"I mean..." Frederick walked over slowly and stared into his eyes. "You want to hit the Oscar, but can only "Blood is coming" hit the Oscar?"

"...What good script have you seen?" Sean was not a fool, and reacted in a few seconds, and immediately clenched his fists.

Frederick did not answer, and still stared at him with his eyes. Sean continued to say understandably: "Madman, pervert, madman, has an inhuman side, and will suffer and torture, but not too much."

Frederick still didn't say anything, Sean had to think about it carefully, then snapped his fingers: "Okay, there are also homosexuals..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, then opened his eyes wide and looked at his agent in surprise.

"Yes, homosexual." Frederick nodded and admitted, "I know there is such a script, the director is also well-known, and it is a gay biographical movie. The character is not young and can give you the advantage. You may even have some understanding of the character, and it is very hopeful to hit the Oscars, so..."

He made a gesture and made two circles and did not continue. Then, several pairs of eyes in the room turned to Sean.

"Tell me in detail." Sean pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth.

"Okay," Frederick took a deep breath, "You grew up in San Francisco and you must have heard of the name Harvey Milk?"

"Harvey...Milke?" Sean frowned and recalled carefully. "Some impression is that he seems to be... the first person to openly have a gay identity in... politics?"

"That's right, Milk was born in the 1930s and grew up in New York. He knew he was gay very early. He moved to San Francisco in the 1970s and started to fight for rights for the gay team, fighting conservative groups, and after the city of San Francisco changed the candidacy system of the committee in 1977, he was elected as a member of the Fifth District of the Municipal Administration Commission." Frederick said clearly.

"Then at the end of 1978, he was shot and killed by Dan White with the mayor," Sean took it on, "San Francisco still has events commemorating him every year - is his affairs going to be adapted into a movie?"

"Yes, I have the exact news. The other party has contacted many actors and is lacking in funds." Frederick nodded, and a hesitant look flashed across his face, as if something was difficult to say.

"This is... really a difficult thing to decide." Sean, who grinned and took a breath, hesitated for a while, and he looked at his best friends.

"I think you can try it, Sean." Garen said.

"You want to watch him kiss a man on the screen? Mr. Tang might kill those who instigated his son." Neil shouted immediately.

"Mr. Tang is not disgusted with the gay team, and everyone knows...Shawn is a lustful guy." Garen retorted, "and he has two children."

"It doesn't mean that having children can't tell you the problem. The media likes to make a big deal." Neil was obviously quarreling.

"Okay, you two," Sanders stopped them and looked at Frederick, "Fred, you have nothing to say."

Sean didn't notice it, he noticed it.

"Yes," Frederick didn't hide it, either, "the director and producer is Gus Van Sant."
