Hollywood What If

Chapter 33

Hollywood Companies.

Production Companies. 

Movie/film companies.

Studio Companies. 

Film distribution companies. 

There were a lot of ways to call them. But basically, they are known as movie/film companies. 

Some film companies based their business solely on making movies. Other film companies had distribution channels to distribute their films. 

The latter companies were usually at the higher end of the pyramid. They earned more money by distributing their movies. There were two kinds of distribution, local distribution, and international distribution. 

The best examples of movie companies that had local distribution are DreamWorks, Lionsgate, and Miramax. They could freely distribute their movies in North America. 

Now, the film companies that have international distribution are the strongest. Especially the Big Six of Hollywood. These giants basically dominated international distribution. They made a lot of money by distributing their movies around the world.

MGM was one of the Big Five at that time, but it slowly lost its lead. It still has its international distribution, but it doesn't have much influence. 

The Big Six of Hollywood are:

Walt Disney

Paramount

Universal Pictures

Sony-Columbia

Warner Bros. 

20th Century Fox 

These companies have dominated Hollywood for decades. Their influence was strong and their power was almost equal. No one could take the lead. 

'Although in recent years before I die Disney has become stronger. They bought Marvel and made billions from Marvel movies alone. They also bought 20th Century Fox.'

Disney might be the strongest film company in the world. 

'In the 90s and early 2000s, Warner Bros took the lead. With the Harry Potter franchise, Matrix, Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight trilogy, and DC Universe.'

According to Kazir, Disney and Warner Bros are the big brothers of Hollywood. 

But let's not forget the runner-up. 

"20th Century Fox."

This company had created many masterpieces. 

"Titanic, Avatar, Kingsman, Terminator and X-Men+Deadpool. When it comes to movie franchises, 20th Century Fox can compete with Disney and Warner Bros."

Unfortunately, this Hollywood giant was still acquired by the politically correct Disney. 

Perhaps this was one of Kazir's greatest regrets in his former life. He saw one powerful company kneel before another. 

"Kazir Grey, good to see you again."

Tom Rothman walked over to Kazir and shook his hand. They both had a good impression of each other. 

Nancy Utley stood next to him, keeping her silence. 

"I'm happy to know that a person like Tom Rothman wants to meet me."

"Kazir, don't lower yourself. I believe you will have a great future. So when do we start?"

Tom Rothman saw that the projector was already ready and the screening could start at any moment. 

"I'm sorry Tom, can we please wait a few minutes? Apparently someone else wants to see this movie."

"That's fine with me." 

Tom Rothman nodded, but it was clear that he didn't feel well. Knowing that another person wanted to see Napoleon Dynamite. Tom Rothman easily deduced that it was a rival. 

'The question is, which company is it?'

The answer didn't take long. Another person appeared. 

"Terry, I can't believe I'm seeing you here."

Terry Semel, the CEO of Warner Bros. Another heavyweight came to the screening. Next to him was Enrico Pusi. Producer Enrico Pusi saw Napoleon Dynamite yesterday. He sent his summary to CEO Terry Semel. 

In the end, Terry Semel decided to see the movie. To decide if this Napoleon Dynamite was worth investing in. 

"It's the same for me. Tom, it looks like we are both interested in this movie." Terry replied. 

"Indeed."

The two maintained their smiles. But deep inside they were cursing each other. 

"Gentlemen, we are ready to start the movie," Kazir announced. 

"Hm."

The two nodded. They realized that this meeting could be manipulated by Kazir Grey. 

This unknown director had planned this meeting to increase his value. Very impressive, but it all comes down to his movie. 

If Napoleon Dynamite was that good, they would give Kazir a nice offer. 

October 7, 1995. This year Kazir successfully took a step toward stardom. 

The movie started and the two executives of Hollywood giants watched it seriously. They laughed along the way and accepted that Napoleon Dynamite was good. The delivery of the jokes was unexpected and funny. 

YoU'rE MoM GoEs To CoLLEgE~

I shaved my hair because I feel hot.

Napoleon's bicycle accident.

His uncle hit him in the face with a steak. 

It was a good formula. At least the two CEOs had fun watching the movie. Plus, the last few minutes were funny because Kip sang a song horribly. They could not stop laughing. 

"It's a good movie." Tom didn't have to lie. 

"Thanks, Tom."

After the screening, the two CEOs returned to their usual cold, domineering style. 

Terry Semel and Tom Rothman wanted the movie. That was clear. 

"Before we start the negotiation, Kazir, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead, Tom." Kazir nodded. 

"Are you a Jew?"

"... That's right. My mother is from a Jewish family. Her grandparents are from Poland." 

Kazir didn't expect to be asked about his race.

"Wait, you are Jewish?"

Terry Semel was surprised. 

Jews have a lot of influence in Hollywood. People may deny it, but it was true, Jews run Hollywood. Their presence was so great that they could decide someone's future. 

In a way, if you're a Jew, your life in Hollywood would be much easier compared to other races. 

In fact, both Terry Semel and Tom Rothman were Jewish! 

Hell, even Michael Ovitz of CAA and Michael Eisner of Disney are Jewish people! 

You see, the top positions in Hollywood were controlled by Jews. 

Even Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, and George Lucas are Jewish people! 

The two CEOs nodded when they realized that the person in front of them was one of them. The Jewish circle in Hollywood tended to help each other. 

'My mother is a Jew... She left us after she cheated on Dad.' He kept that to himself.

"Well, I guess my opinion has changed." Terry Semel shrugged. 

They didn't force him to tell his story. Everyone had a sad story. It didn't change the fact that Kazir was Jewish. /Puji_maki
