Universal Pictures was also sold back and forth, and in 2000 the Seagram Group was acquired by France's Vivendi.

In 2004, due to poor management and debt problems, Vivendi had to sell 80% of Universal Pictures' shares to General Electric.

However, the development of Universal Pictures has been good. Whether it is the Seagram Group, Vivendi or General Electric, they all attach great importance to Universal Pictures.

In the previous life, Universal Pictures did not fully accept all PolyGram's business, but selectively sold some overlapping departments and subsidiaries, and sold them to Warner Music Group and American Network Corporation, and MGM also bought them. some assets.

Among them, what makes Ryan envious is not Polygram's music copyright library and film copyright library, nor is it the most valuable record business, but the initially established global film distribution network. grab grab

Even if the global distribution network established by PolyGram is not perfect, only Europe and Asia are barely enough, and many other countries only have one operator, which is far from being comparable to the seven major Hollywood film companies.

However, PolyGram's global distribution network not only has a good foundation, but also has been established in a very reasonable outline, avoiding the North American film market, as well as major Hollywood box office markets such as Latin America and South America.

As for Europe!

Polygram, as a British record company, Europe is its home, and Hollywood studios are outsiders.

The most critical point is that this is the only chance to obtain a global distribution network.淘戅Polaroid ol\u0026#戅

Of course, Ryan didn't choose to intervene directly, but wait and see for a while.

Otherwise, if you intervene too early, not only may you not get PolyGram's distribution network, but it will cause the vigilance and suppression of Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures and other giants.

So the timing of intervention is very critical

After shooting in Auckland for more than half a month, the crew returned to the studio in Wellington again.

This time Ryan did not choose to shoot in a studio, but built a house outside to serve as a temporary studio.

In the last scene shot, the crew needed to build the house,

Turned into a huge fireworks show.

With filming about to begin, Ryan nodded to Charlize-Theron and asked the crew to double-check the safety measures.

Next, Charlize Theron needed to shoot a scene where she jumped from a second-story window.

It stands to reason that a shot like this should be done by a stuntman, but Charlize Theron had to do it herself.

In this regard, Ryan didn't say much, anyway, it's not the first time for her.

Seeing that the crew was getting ready, Charlize Theron took a deep breath, ran quickly, and under the pull of Wia, jumped down from the window. The whole movement was almost done in one go, and the completion was very beautiful.

However, just when Ryan was about to shout, countless shouts suddenly came from a distance, accompanied by dense explosions.

Although listening to the distance of the voice, it is far away from the crew.

But the shouts and explosions were still very clear. Charlize Theron, who was still in the air, obviously changed her expression and subconsciously turned her head.

"What's going on?" Ryan frowned and stood up, looking in the direction of the sound, he could faintly see a trace of gunpowder smoke rising.

This is not a battlefield, where is the smoke coming from.

"It should be Steven Spielberg's crew." Akiva Goldsman thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be filming a war movie."

Steven Spielberg!

War Movies!

The name immediately came to Ryan's mind.

This film can be regarded as the most important project of DreamWorks right now.

"Call someone over to negotiate. It's better for the two crews to stagger the shooting time." Although Ryan was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say much.

"Let me go." Akiva Goldsman turned and walked towards the crew.

The distance between the two crews is actually not too far, and they were both filmed in the same studio, so Akiva-Gausman thought it would be better to go there in person.

"Charlie, take a break first." Ryan looked helplessly at Charlize-Theron, and estimated that she would have to dance again in a while.

It's not an easy job.

Akiva Goldsman came to the set and talked to Steven Spielberg and Ian Bryce for a while.

Ian Bryce said that the filming schedule of the crew was very tight and it was impossible to stagger the shooting time.

Instead, Steven Spielberg was willing to provide some compensation and let the crew change to another location for shooting.

Looking at the back of Akiva Goldsman leaving, Tom Hanks, wearing a US military uniform from World War II, showed hesitation on his face.

"Isn't it, can you think about it again?" Tom Hanks, who starred in the film, obviously didn't want to cause unhappiness to the two crews because of a trivial matter.

Without waiting for Steven Spielberg to speak, the crew producer Ian Bryce took the lead and said: "Our shooting plan is very tight, and it is impossible to change it casually, otherwise it will increase the cost of shooting."

It's a war movie with a budget of $70 million, starring Tom Hanks, plus Steven Spielberg's salary.

As a result, the budget of the crew is very tight, and careful planning is required.

In contrast, for an action movie without any big-name actors, the movie budget is as high as 75 million US dollars, which is higher than that of the movie.

Tom Hanks knew what Ian Bryce said was true.

But he still reminded: "It's Ryan Gosling's crew over there. DreamWorks and Orion Films have never had any competition. Doing so may cause some unnecessary troubles."

Steven Spielberg is not only the director and producer of the crew, but also one of the founders of DreamWorks, so there are many things to consider.

He tapped the chair lightly with his fingers, "Have someone go over and express his apology, be sincere, and I owe him a favor."

"As for the filming plan of the crew, continue filming according to the original plan."

It's not that Steven Spielberg doesn't want to stagger the shooting time, but just as Ian Bryce said, the crew's shooting budget is very tight, and the shooting plan cannot be changed casually.

DreamWorks is not Orion Pictures, with several films in succession selling well, without having to worry about funding, and can even spend tens of millions of dollars casually.

Almost all of the films shot by DreamWorks are financed and supported overseas. In case the budget of the crew is not enough during the filming process, it is not easy to make additional investment.

Inside the crew, Akiva-Gausman brought back news.

It made Ryan look a bit uneasy. Instead of agreeing to stagger the shooting time, the other party asked him to change the shooting location.

As for compensation, Ryan chose to ignore it.

"Change the shooting plan, let Jack bloom a feast, and switch to the studio for the rest of the shots." A sneer appeared on the corner of Ryan's mouth.

"I'm going to ask Jack to add more condiments." Akiva-Gausman came back with a stomach full of anger, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

It is obviously not a wise choice for the crew to stand in a stalemate with a crew that shoots a war film.

However, Ryan wanted to leave a deep impression on the other party before leaving.巘戅Fantasy 7HuAn.oM戅
