Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter borrowing flowers to offer Buddha

"Director Bruno!"

"Miss Jenny!"

After hanging out for a while, Song Yang and Jenny, who was dressed up, came to the headquarters building of Western Pictures in Los Angeles.

When Western Pictures was first established, its headquarters was only placed in an ordinary small building in Los Angeles, serving as the headquarters of Western Pictures. Now it has moved to a film park in Hollywood.

This studio shooting park is not as large as the Paramount headquarters with 29 studios, or Hollywood giants such as Disney and Columbia Pictures, but it also has more than eight studios and several office buildings, all of which are now owned by Western Pictures.

When Song Yang passed by, Ted Shalando, president of Western Film, brought a group of executives to welcome the arrival of the big funder.

Unlike the previous raft team, there are already many executives of Western Film now, including production managers, distribution presidents, finance, personnel and other departments.

Moreover, compared with Hollywood giants such as Paramount and Disney, Western Pictures also has an additional management team and Internet online video business!

Like Saipan Music Store, Western Pictures also plays the online video business. However, compared with the Saipan Music Store, which has become famous, Western Pictures' online video business is still somewhat less famous. The key is that it cannot get too many film and television copyrights.

Like the five major record groups, they are even better than that. Hollywood has also held the copyright of film and television in its own hands and is unwilling to sell it. Even if it sells a few film and television copyrights, it is outrageously expensive. This has led to the online video business that Western Film and Television joining forces with IMDB website to play, and it can only be regarded as a small fuss!

"Ted!"

Song Yang shook hands with Ted Shalando, then looked at the three people standing behind Ted Shalando, "Taylor, Jackson, Jimmy!"

Richard Taylor, Peter Jackson, and Jimmy Selkirk are the founders of Vita Special Effects and are of course currently affiliated with Western Film executives.

Previously, for the special effects clips of the "Matrix", Western Pictures not only cooperated with Industrial Light and Magic, but also acquired Vita Special Effects as Western Pictures' own special effects studio.

"Although Western Pictures' studio is not the largest in Hollywood, this studio has invested more than 65 million US dollars for renovation and upgrading. It is now the best studio in Hollywood facilities!"

Ted Shalando took Song Yang into the set and introduced to Song Yang that several studios of Western Pictures are now at full capacity.

"Now, the Soprano, Grey's Anatomy, Shameless, Crime Scene Investigation, Big Bang Theory and other popular dramas on IC TV stations are shot in Western Film Studios!"

Ted Charlando and Western Films' production department manager introduced these studios, now IC, and even the most popular TV series in the entire America, have used Western Films' studios.

"According to the plan of Western Pictures, several major productions will be carried out next, and they will use Western Pictures' studios!"

Ted Charlando talked about Western Pictures' plan to make Western Pictures famous in Hollywood's "The Matrix" box office hit. In addition, the release of several TV series that dominate the America TV series channel made Western Pictures no longer an unknown person in Hollywood.

Ted Shalando himself has also jumped from being the head of an unknown small film and television company to one of the emerging big film and television companies in Hollywood now. He even became one of the candidate leaders of the eighth largest film company in Hollywood along with DreamWorks, New Line Films, Lionsgate Pictures, etc.

Song Yang looked at the busy set in front of him, one forklift after another, constantly transporting various roads from the prop production department inside the set and transporting them to the crew on the set for arrangement. The gardeners were taking care of the hibiscus hedges, and the electricians were setting up lines to hang lights. The busiest ones were also the crew members who were traveling back and forth in golf carts...

Song Yang looked at the busy set in front of him and the sets of other giants in Hollywood, and basically the difference was not much. Basically, the schedules were full of screenings. Now it can be said to be one of the best years in Hollywood.

Just looking at the scene in front of me, Song Yang didn't know how long it could last. After the online video business emerged, the studios of such giant film and television companies as Paramount, Fox, and Columbia Pictures would probably have to be rented for sale and loaned to online video companies to shoot...

"Western Pictures' set may not be enough. In the future, Western Pictures may produce more than 90 or even 100 movies, TV series, documentaries, etc. every year!"

After passing by the studio of Western Pictures, Song Yang smiled and said to Ted Shalando and other Western Pictures executives.

It sounds like a joke, but Ted Shalando and others were shocked. No matter whether it is a TV series, a movie, a documentary, or something, it is more than 90 movies a year, which is really scary.

According to the current filming speed of several major Hollywood companies, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Sony Columbia Pictures combined, the total number of films produced in a year is probably less than 90, and the funds required to shoot these films are even more than billions of dollars!

Traditional Hollywood practitioners who have not yet experienced the beating of online video companies and streaming media companies cannot imagine that huge impact, which has completely changed the pattern and model of Hollywood. All Hollywood practitioners are also facing new choices, whether to continue to stick to the traditional big screen or embrace the new online video industry, that is, the arrival of the era of online dramas!

Ted Sharando looked at Song Yang's face. Although Song Yang said those words in a joking tone just now, Ted Sharando was not sure whether what Song Yang said was a joke or it might be true!

If a company really wants to make more than 90 movies, TV series, documentaries, etc. a year, it is almost impossible for a company to fight against the entire Hollywood, and maybe it will not be at a disadvantage. What should such a company have in Hollywood?

After crossing the set of Western Film and coming to the territory of Vita Special Effects Studio, the first thing I entered was the prop model production workshop.

As soon as you enter it, you can see all kinds of props, clothes, weapons and models of movie creatures that appear in the movie. Most of them are hand-rubbed. This is also something that major special effects companies now have. The prop production workshop of Industrial Light and Magic is more than twice as large as this one.

"Now, Vita Special Effects Studio is preparing the props and models needed in the two movies "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings"!"
