This midterm election was called the Elephant Party Revolution. The Elephant Party gained dominance in both houses, and Gingrich became the Speaker of the House of Representatives as he wished. His "Contract with America" ​​action has become the basis for every newly elected president.

It’s a term that all Elephant Party members talk about.

The commander-in-chief was in great embarrassment. Two years after taking office, he lost the support of both houses of Congress. In the next two years, and if he wants to be re-elected, all bills and executive orders will encounter congressional constraints.

It’s funny to say that the original Xiang Party was actually an urbanized party associated with big cities and capital, factories, and large enterprises, while the Donkey Party was a political party in the south, midwest, and labor unions that cared about small people and towns.

Since Richard's former leadership opened up the South, the entire structure of the two parties has been reversed. The original Southern Donkey Party (southern countrymen who supported segregation and slavery) gradually changed into the Elephant Party. Under the predecessor Ronald Sr.

The situation was officially reversed when the General was in power, and the Southern Donkey Party became a historical term.

However, in elections in southern states, including governors and members of Congress, many people from the Donkey Party were still elected based on inertia. Until Gingrich's revolution, all the local political forces in the South voted for the Elephant Party.

The same thing has also changed in the big cities where the Donkey Party is entrenched. Starting from Roosevelt, the Donkey Party has been closely integrated with the labor unions. As the Elephant Party went south and the equal rights movement later took over the ideology of the big cities, most of them

Everyone agrees with their approach.

It just so happened that the two parties changed sides. Because of this, although the Elephant Party won a big victory in this election, New York and Los Angeles, where Ronald often lives, have become more Donkey-like.

Only Staten Island, where Ronald is registered, still maintains the lead of the Elephant Party, and the congressman was elected again without any suspense.

Ronald looked at the election analysis Roger Ailes sent him, and he had some ideas about the future of Hollywood.

First-line major productions are increasingly dependent on the box office of big cities. In the past five years, many traditional cinemas in big cities have been renovated or demolished and rebuilt, and many multiplex cinemas have been added to new shopping malls.

The national box office structure is also gradually leaning towards these new cinemas. The proportion of box office occupied by old-fashioned cinemas in small towns has been declining year after year. Not to mention, these old-fashioned cinemas can often only be allocated to second or third-run copies.

, the box office share ratio is much lower than that of the first round.

This also brings about a problem, that is, the new Hollywood commercial film productions are increasingly catering to the aesthetic sense of audiences in big cities - that is, they tend to be more like donkey gangs, where women can work independently and have complete control over their bodies.

control; equality among ethnic groups, each ethnic group has good and bad people; more inclined to believe that the Bible is outdated knowledge, and go to church very rarely...

The tastes of audiences in second-tier markets have become different from those in big cities. In the past two years, some B-level genre films have abandoned the big city market and focused on the small town market.

These movies are also getting closer to the aesthetics of the Elephant Party, where white people created this great country; you have to go to church every week, what the Bible says is true; it is best for women to return to the family to take care of their children, and abortion is immoral.

.

Judging from the absolute box office numbers, the audience population of multiplex theaters in big cities is slightly larger than that of traditional theaters in small towns combined, but the difference between the two is not big. So why do big productions generally adopt the aesthetics of the former?

What are the rules for writing scripted stories?

This has to be said that after the end of the Cold War in 1991, an increasingly obvious trend was Hollywood's intrusion into overseas film markets.

Whether it is old allies like Western Europe, former enemies like Eastern Europe, or fast-growing emerging markets like Asia, they all more recognize the story aesthetic that favors the Donkey Party.

This is also related to the fact that the share ratio of movie box office is increasingly biased towards first-run screenings, so studios must pay attention to the first-run big city markets that bring them more shares.

Even in a new market like China, which has just opened its door to branching out, "The Fugitive" achieved impressive box office results in the six cities where it was piloted.

On the one hand, it pleases the working-class audiences in big cities around the world. On the other hand, these profits also feed back Hollywood's production funds. In the future, this kind of de facto review of scripts will only become more and more popular under the influence of the Matthew Effect.

obvious.

On the other hand, do those markets that have been ignored by big Hollywood productions also have some market space? Anyway, they are small-production B-level movies, specially for the southern market, making some films that are offensive in the eyes of hard-core fans of the Donkey Party.

Stories, maybe you can also get profits from this market segment.

Anyway, moviegoers in big cities are unlikely to watch a story that audiences in a small southern town like to watch.

"Attention, attention, give me a copy of the scripts, memos, and other printed things you have received from agents and producers. Each sender must give a copy every year. Luo

Nader’s direct order, we must establish a modern filing system, future offices will be paperless, and all of this must be entered into the computer..."

At the same time, Daydream's office was extremely busy. Yang Yanzi took charge and asked people from all departments to send a copy of the printouts they had received in the past few years to a special allocation for her use.

Inside the large conference room. Several large boxes of scripts and memos were quickly gathered here.

"We copied this ourselves. No, I want the original, the original..."

"This is handwritten, why are you here? I just want it printed by the printer..."

Yang Yanzi also summoned five or six secretaries to sort out these printouts in the conference room. Since Dr. Henry Lee gave the samples, they began to work within Daydream and Cruise's CW Films

Covert operations.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Yanzi managed to get various printed documents that he had received, because Ronald believed that those who could know the secrets of Tom Cruise were very

Most likely, they are agents and producers who have worked closely with them. In other words, it is very possible that the files printed by the same printer are still quietly somewhere in Daydream or CW Pictures.

Lying down.

"To be precise, we want it to be printed with a laser printer. We don't need the dot matrix printer... nor the inkjet... If you can't tell the difference, let Maria take a look. She is the most senior person in our office.

She is the secretary who prints the most documents, and nothing escapes her eyes..."

These people were allowed to put their other work on hold and try their best to sample every script and memo. They randomly selected a sample, put it in a plastic file bag, put it in a special box, and sent it to Luo

Nader's home.

There, a specially hired doctoral student from Connecticut majoring in criminal investigation was hired by Ronald with a high salary to compare the printer's traces.

"Dear, Barbara called and said she wanted to visit..."

Ronald had just returned home with the documents waiting to be read when Diane came up to tell him that someone important was looking for him.

"That Barbara, can't she be little George's mother?" Ronald's heart trembled. Barbara preferred her youngest son Jeb. Jeb was not elected governor, but little George was elected instead, which made her very embarrassed.

I was so embarrassed that I didn't even go to my eldest son's celebration party in the end, and I didn't know what to say when we met.

According to Roger Ailes, who had just arrived, Barbara cursed everyone at Jeb's place in Florida. Jeb's campaign team, Jeb's Latina wife, and George Jr.'s important strategists were lured away for publicity.

Jay Ayers snatched it away (in fact, Jeb himself didn’t want it), and also scolded George Sr. for being partial. In short, it was shocking.

Barbara also vowed to get Jeb elected governor of Florida...

An old lady who prefers one son always reminds people of a certain empress in Chinese history...it makes people shudder.

"No, what else is called Barbara in Hollywood?" Diane was overwhelmed by Ronald's association. Of course she was talking about the famous singing and performing amphibious star in Hollywood...

"Oh, Barbra Streisand, why is she looking for me?" Ronald thought of her unremarkable face with only a big nose and prominent features, and felt that Streisand was more suitable for the music industry.

In the film industry, she was sneaked into the role of a beautiful heroine, and it was thanks to her Jewish identity...

"I said I have a script that I want to talk to you about..."

"Talk to me? Ah, she won't take it seriously, right?"

Ronald recalled that at the Oscars that year, Barbra Streisand felt that she was not nominated for Best Director due to sexism. She saw him at a party and even invited him to make a movie with her.

Ronald feels that Barbra Streisand is not so shameless. Hollywood is a place that praises hyperinflation. When people say they want to collaborate with you, it is basically just polite.

I want to work with you in Hollywood, it's like a guy in Ohio saying good morning to you enthusiastically when you go for a morning run, or a guy in New York giving you the middle finger to a driver who robbed your parking space, it doesn't mean anything special, it's just

A daily courtesy.

"Barbara... I'm Ronald. I heard that you wanted to see me for something?"

However, the other party can still be regarded as a representative of female celebrities. There are many handsome celebrities in Hollywood who have benefited from her. She can be regarded as a medium-sized force, and she is a target worthy of public relations in order to win awards.

"Ronald, I didn't expect that you have such a beautiful garden in your house... Diane, the layout of your living room is really beautiful. Whose living room is it based on? Do you mind if I learn about your sofa?

Does it match with the coffee table? It’s really chic..."

After making an appointment on the phone, Barbra Streisand came to Ronald's home and was attentive to Ronald and Diane as soon as they entered the door.

"She definitely wants something from me..." Ronald made a face at Diane.

"I'll let you two talk about serious business, I still have lines to memorize..." Diane walked away with a smile, leaving the room to Ronald and Streisand.

"What to drink?"

“The best is mineral water from Bali…”

Ronald was not in the room yet, so he went out and asked the maid to bring a few bottles. The traces of beauty treatments on Barbra Streisand's face were still quite obvious. She also paid great attention to taking care of her throat and did not drink any irritating drinks.

"Bali mineral water, is there anything I can do for you today? Barbara?" Ronald sat down and opened a bottle of Coke.

"Let me tell you the truth. The last time we met, I extended an invitation to you. I have always wanted to make a movie with you. I would star in it and you would direct it..."

"Ah...oh..." Ronald thought to himself, are you really coming?

"I don't expect you to have time to direct a film about a woman that I like, but I'm here to ask you to let this film be shot..."

Ronald touched his chin. Does this mean he should settle for the next best thing and let himself invest?

"Barbara, what is your story? No one in Hollywood invests in your script? What about the script you starred in? If no one else tells you, Ovitz of CAA will definitely chase you for investment..."

Ronald teased the other person. Ovitz always treated other people's projects as business. Only for Jewish celebrities like Barbra Streisand, he always took the initiative to invest and took a relatively large share.

He recommends shares and the best package candidates.

"Especially Ovitz, he makes me very angry..."

Barbra Streisand said Ovitz's name with a bit of resentment in her words, and a bit of annoyance at being told something important.

It turns out that when Barbra Streisand got the script, the first person she thought of was Michael Ovitz.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She wants Ovitz to lead this movie. Not only does she want to star, but also the director has to take over. This time she must make a movie that will impress the market and awards.

A work recognized by everyone. Robert Redford was as popular a star as she was back then. Redford won the Oscar for Best Director when he became a director for the first time. There is no reason why she can't do it.
