Why did Spielberg fight paramount for Tintin?

In the 1980s, Spielberg moved Herge's widow Fanny with his talent, understanding of the story and enthusiasm. Finally, Spielberg won the shooting copyright of the film Tintin in 1984. However, due to technical problems, the shooting plan was "hidden" and did not start until recently.

Spielberg wanted to make the film into a live action film. He asked Peter Jackson for help. He hoped that his Vita could help make a digital snow white. The Gollum in the ring was impressive. Its emergence showed that the technology was mature, and Jackson himself happened to be a fan of Tintin. He persuaded Spielberg that only performing capture technology was the best The practice of putting Tintin comics on the screen. Spielberg accepted his suggestion.

The script of Tintin's Adventures: the secret of the unicorn was finally handed over to Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish after being handed over by Melissa Matheson, the screenwriter of E.T. and Steven Moffat, the British screenwriter. As the first shot of Tintin's trilogy, the film story of this episode integrates the comics of three Tintin's Adventures: Golden claw crab drug cartel, the secret of the unicorn, the treasure of red lakham.

However, paramount dismisses the script that DreamWorks spent $8 million on, and the production cost of this $100 million is falsely high. They hope to cut the budget to $70 million.

Everyone knows Lao Si's love for children's literature. Only then did the amazing alien et appear. When he was in DreamWorks, he lived the emperor's life. With a budget of 100 million, Gefen would grant an additional 20 million in case it was insufficient. The fund was qualified and almost cried him angrily.

If old Si is unhappy in paramount, he has the heart of job hopping. He also has shares in DreamWorks Animation. He can also make a profit in this ultra-high quotation business. By the way, he can connect with Disney. Disney's creative concept is similar to old Si. If old brother casenberg becomes the boss, he will treat him badly? So old Si nodded in this matter.

Everyone agrees that this is a good price. What's the reason for refusing? The person concerned is afraid of being cheated by the old fox Eisner, who has cheated many people.

Carsenberg and his colleagues used their personal resources to inquire about the matter from Disney shareholders and confirmed it from multiple channels. Disney shareholders are pressing Michael Eisner. He has worked so long that he can almost change Disney's name to Eisner. The two sides have reached an agreement. Michael retires with dignity. Disney will not pursue any responsibility for his resignation Before, Michael must set up a first-class animation department, and Eisner is also one of the shareholders, which is in his interests.

Carsenberg's ability is recognized, and his active contact has surprised Disney shareholders like a spring breeze.

To their delight, the great director Spielberg secretly promised that he would not renew his contract with paramount after the expiration of the contract. Disney is a priority, which can be regarded as hugging the grass and beating the rabbit.

Shareholders are very worried that Eisner has trained a CEO who is in collusion with him. There is no problem in this regard when cassenberg takes over. Cassenberg laughs when he doesn't tear them.

Moreover, kasenberg has worked as the head of the film department at Disney for ten years and has experience. This is the most satisfactory candidate for shareholders. It is rare that Eisner also agreed. However, Eisner also proposed that his deputy Peter Murphy be the chairman to check and balance kasenberg. The shareholders' meeting also agreed.

In this way, the marriage between Disney and DreamWorks Animation is surprisingly easy, and everything comes naturally.

However, DreamWorks Animation signed a relatively loose distribution contract with paramount. DreamWorks Animation raised its own funds and produced it by itself. Paramount is only responsible for distribution, and can't get involved in the copyright, and the compensation for breach of contract is not high. The relationship between the two sides is no different from that of general distribution. Paramount certainly wants to take DreamWorks under its banner, but the bid is not high. Carsenberg is unhappy with Mr. spending reduction , both sides can't pee in a pot.

This time DreamWorks Animation suddenly announced the termination of the contract and ran away from Disney, which made them regret and almost made a drama of chasing Han Xin under the moon.

However, Mr. Jianzhi's fund finally gave up. They decided to increase the investment in their animation department and build their own computer animation company. This is called Blacksmithing, but it still needs their own hard work. The adopted children are always unfamiliar.

That sounds good, but with the ability of the six giants, who can build their own top computer animation company, not even Disney, which started with animation, can only rely on the acquisition of DreamWorks; mm depends on Pixar; 20th Century Fox depends on blue sky studio.

Mr. Jianzhi's idea is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, ensure efficiency, and do less and make fewer mistakes. Now his financial statements are good enough, why bother yourself.

Today's Hollywood is not as prosperous and lively as before because of the writers' strike. Instead, there is some miasma. Last year, major film festivals are unfolding like fire, and the actors and public relations personnel of major film companies are busy participating in all kinds of selection activities. But now, as long as there are large-scale public activities, writers will go to protest and demonstrate, which is very annoying Scenic.

For example, the weathervane award of the Academy Award, the Radio Film Critics Association Award, the actors' guild, the directors' guild, the producers' Guild Award, and more than 40 film critics' Awards: the local film critics' awards in beimi, mainly including New York, Los Angeles and Boston, have been stopped successively, such as the Gotham independent film award, the American Independent Spirit Award and the golden Satellite Award, which has led to a depression in Hollywood.

The suspension of new TV programs will embarrass the major film companies? In this regard, advertising revenue is less, but more people choose to enter the cinema, or rent and buy DVDs. Large companies still do not reduce their revenue. Beimi's box office is more likely to exceed $10 billion than ever before. The tactics of screenwriters trying to make large companies yield seem to be a little ineffective.

And at this time, two major events shook Hollywood, MM's acquisition of Pixar and Disney's acquisition of DreamWorks, and the animation market became a confrontation between the two.

Pixar, who cooperated with mm, was almost abducted by Disney, while DreamWorks, which cooperated with paramount, was directly abducted, which worried 20th century fox. He directly launched merger negotiations with blue sky studio. He was also afraid that blue sky studio would be abducted.

Disney is an old hand in this film market. This animated film has always been most suitable for a family to watch. Therefore, as the best of them, Pixar and DreamWorks have sold a good price much higher than the market price. Cassenberg has realized his ideal of life and reached the peak of life, Michael Eisner, a strong man of a generation, officially retired after signing an exemption agreement with the company.

This is about a year away from the original retirement, but the situation is very different. The original version of him was ousted by the coup and retired sadly. After stepping down, he was sued and held accountable by the company. He has worked for the company for 30 years. All the disciples and old officials are all over the world and have been cleaned.

But now he is retired, and his deputy Peter Murphy is the chairman, which can ensure their interests to a certain extent. His big challenger, Joey of the Disney family, has been the most excited and jumping the most. This time he still has nothing to gain. The virtual title of a vice president certainly can't satisfy him, With the cooperation of casenberg as strong as Eisner, there will certainly be a spark between them.

There are only a few companies that can make money from cinema lines and DVDs, such as those art films and Chong Ao public relations companies. In the past, they were too busy to touch the ground. Now they are too busy to have a fly swatter. Those who rely on colleges, such as Miramax, Weinstein film, paramount advantage, Fox Searchlight and focus, have no jobs to open. After a series of trade union awards were cancelled, Whether the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, the most important plays in the entertainment industry, can be held as scheduled has become the focus of attention of the media and the public.

The Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association, the organizer of the Golden Globe Award, said that they had negotiated with TV writers and hoped to broadcast the Golden Globe award ceremony live as planned when the writers' strike continued.

The Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association said that they had held many negotiations with American writers and signed a "temporary agreement". Before that, David Letterman's company also signed a similar agreement with the writers' Union. According to this agreement, the David Letterman evening show was able to return to the broadcasting track.

George camara, President of the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association, said in a statement: "we think the agreement signed by David Letterman evening show is very reasonable and hope that the writers' union can sign the same agreement with us." camara said that a "temporary agreement" can enable the "Golden Globe" award ceremony on January 13 to be broadcast on NBC television as planned, Without setting up a cordon.

Because whenever there are large-scale activities, the screenwriter's union organizes a large number of people to demonstrate, which is called the cordon. Many stars and celebrities refuse to cross the cordon to participate in the awards. It is a shame to participate in the awards in the sound of demonstrations and protests. Some awards activities are not believed in evil and insist on holding them, because no stars come, they are cold and unattended, which has become a laughing stock.

So the key to whether we can draw the prize now is to see whether there is a warning line.
