Ella Deutschman was a little silent. After being in Hollywood for so many years, how could he not understand what Simon said.
But that’s how people are. Knowing a truth doesn’t mean that you can do it.
As a graduate of the prestigious Northwestern University, Ella Deutschman has a sense of academic superiority in front of most people in Hollywood. This sense of superiority also unknowingly restrains his behavior pattern, making He never forgot the dignity of an intellectual. Therefore, although it is clear that hyping up the elements that audiences like to see can help the film achieve higher box office, Ira Deutschman has always resisted doing so from the bottom of her heart.
The waiter just happened to bring lunch to him at this time. Simon waited for a moment, and when the waiter left again, he asked Deutschman: "So, do you still want this job?"
Ella Deutschman hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Simon, is it really right to purely pursue the commercial interests of a movie like this?"
"Many maverick filmmakers always say that I don't make movies to make money. But that's not actually the case. Since they have chosen movies, they are destined to have a stronger desire for expression than ordinary people. In their hearts, they definitely hope to be more expressive. Many people can see your film," Simon looked at Ella Deutschman and said slowly: "As a film distributor, it is your job to find ways to let more people see your film. Filmmakers are responsible, and they are also responsible for investors, regardless of whether it is correct or not. In a film that tells the true meaning of life, if you use sex as a publicity stunt, the director of the film may be very angry, but when this film originally only had a few million If a film with US dollar box office potential sells 10 million, 20 million or even more, and wins an Oscar, then you will find afterwards that not only will he no longer blame you, but he will look forward to continuing to cooperate with you. Ella, only winners will is always right, and the winner is not blamed.”
After hearing what Simon said, Ella Deutschman's expression changed slightly for a moment, and then she said sincerely: "Simon, I need to confess. Before the meeting, I very, very much hoped to get this job. But now, I find that You have far greater expectations for the company that I might be running than I could ever imagine, and I’m not sure I can do it well.”
Simon showed a smile on his face and said: "Actually, I'm not sure, Ella. The main reason why I chose you is because your conditions are just right in all aspects. You are only 35 years old this year, and you won't be like those who are in their 50s or 60s." Old men have completely lost their plasticity, and they also have more industry experience than young people who are just starting out. However, once you join the job, you only have one year."
Ella Deutschman wondered: "One year?"
Simon nodded and said: "Yes, even if you are willing to accept this job, you still need to go through a one-year inspection period. Within this year, I will completely follow the operation of Gaomen Pictures and personally urge you to change the past tradition. Conservative business thinking. After one year, if your work results satisfy me, we will sign a formal long-term contract."
Ella Deutschman keenly captured another meaning in Simon's words: "Simon, what you mean is that Gomen Pictures operates completely independently. I am only responsible to you personally and do not need to accept Ms. Pascal's leader?"
"Yes, and Highgate Pictures is more independent than you think. The production and distribution departments of Daenerys Pictures and New World Pictures are separate, but Highgate Pictures will have a complete In an independent film production and distribution system, in addition to the financial aspects that need to be supervised by the parent company, you will have great autonomy in other aspects. Of course, the premise is that you need to pass the test of one year first."
