Chapter 1347: The Next One Is the Favorite
Heiner wants to make his own Hollywood movie, and it's not a matter of a day or two. When he first entered Hollywood, Yang Dongxu had such a means, and at that time he knew that countless movies that could be big sellers could come and run all the way to a dark horse.
But in the end, these movies have become the target of Haina's investment and money, and none of them are movies that completely belong to Haina. Basically, they all belong to the type of prostitution that gets on the bus for a wave, and then the movie sells well and leaves for a penny, don't think about the movie copyright, and you can't get involved in the sequel or anything if you want to invest.
There is quite a kind of overcoming obstacles in Hollywood, and the way has come out. But others build a train track on it to make money, and he doesn't feel like he's doing anything.
And because he didn't make his own movie, the most important point was stuck in the theater. At that time, Heina, who entered Hollywood, can be said to be ambitious.
Not only is it inseparable from Sony, Warner, and Universal, the three world's giant record companies, in the Asian record market. While entering Hollywood, I have the feeling of wanting to surpass these people and ignite a war in the United States.
As a result, coupled with the prejudice of Westerners against Chinese people, they naturally encountered Waterloo, and finally relied on variety shows to forcibly return a wave of blood. can return to blood on variety shows, but the movie side has been unable to open the situation for a long time.
The reason is that several giant companies use their connections to not arrange theaters for Haina's films. In other words, your movie is made, but there is no place to put it, and no one will put it if you don't want money.
The movie was made to make money, even if Yang Dongxu didn't just go for money. In order to build Haina's reputation, he is willing to lose money, but if the theater line doesn't arrange a film schedule for you, how can you do it?
Therefore, as an investor, there is no problem in investing in movies, even if you want to make a movie, even if you want to approve the project, there is no problem if you want to release it. In the past few years, the relationship between Haina and several major TV stations has become better and better.
With the investment in the movies are basically big hits, they can be regarded as having their own signboards, and they have more or less connections in Hollywood. I have accumulated these capitals, so I have the courage to make my own movie this time.
But it takes another opportunity to break the current big impasse, and Bieber is the one Jos has found. With Bieber's endorsement, Hollywood can be regarded as a weighty person to help Heina speak.
In this way, if the movie is really of good quality and can make money, then the theater chain will give Bieber a little face. What is particularly important is that in recent years, the Chinese film market has also begun to rise gradually. The films sent by the United States with common sense have achieved good results and can be developed into a box office venue.
But Haina is undoubtedly a tiger dominating the entire Asian market, and if he wants to go to Huaxia to make money, he won't arrange a cinema for you, believe it or not?
"How did "Da Vinci's Code" come up with the idea of making this type of movie?" In the middle of Haina's spacious and bright meeting, Yang Dongxu asked with some surprise as he looked at the script selected in front of him.
He hasn't seen the movie "Da Vinci's Code", but the name sounds familiar, and it is estimated to be a very popular movie. After all, in his previous life, he was a poor boy at the bottom of society, and if this movie was not popular, he, who lived at the bottom of society, would not have heard this name at all.
Although he knew that this movie should be good, he hadn't seen it, and second, it turned out to be a thriller movie. This couldn't help but make him hesitate a little.
After all, although thriller movies have performed very well in the TV market in recent years, they have hit the streets even more. Especially in Huaxia, comedy is actually a little more popular.
"We don't have Marvel, we don't have magic like Harry Potter, we don't have a lot of comedy material. So at present, I can only start to find an entry point from thriller movies, and thriller movies have always been good at the box office in the European and American markets. Jos explained.
"What do you think?" Yang Dongxu looked at Bob and Peter next to him, and Jos's movements were fast. The script hasn't been selected yet, let alone the actors and directors, so it's time to take over the investment with Bob.
Bob, who has cooperated with Yang Dongxu, naturally has no opinions, and in the past few years, he has made no less money by investing in movies with Haina. So I also want to see if Haina, the lucky boy in Hollywood, will double his investment this time again, so the investment invitation to Jos is very cool.
That's right, at present, Hollywood regards Hainer as a lucky boy, just like a homeless man who suddenly won the lottery. It's just that Heinado clocked a few times.
"The film is very good, the same name is very popular in the European and American markets, and there is a certain audience, so as long as the shooting is not too bad, at least a small profit will not be lost. Bob began.
Investment is bold, but Bob still has to pay attention to what movie to make. He is not a fool to throw money into the water, so Jos chose this script by chance, he has done market research, so now he is more willing to vote.
"In recent years, there have been no masterpieces of thriller movies in the European and American film markets, and I have not heard of anyone making large-scale thriller movies. Therefore, according to the large amount of investment this time, the auction effect should be good. And the material and content of this movie are very good, maybe you can win an award if you make it. Peter spoke.
Bob sees things from a businessman's point of view, while Peter thinks about it from a director's point of view.
"Then settle on this, do you have any recommendations for actors and directors?" Yang Dongxu said.
Apparently Peter's sentence of winning an award moved him, although thriller films were not as popular as literary films. But compared to commercial films, it is indeed easier to win awards.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the box office of a movie is also directly proportional to the awards. If a film wins an award, especially some important awards. The movie is likely to be a big hit again, because people are curious.
There are always many people who want to see for themselves what is unique about the movies that can be selected by the film industry. This is also a lot of movies have obviously been released, but after the awards ceremony, the videotapes can sell well, coupled with the surrounding and various advertising effects, the film company can steadily make another wave.
So for some film festivals on the eve of those film companies. Don't be surprised by the PR of celebrities and directors. Some PR is to raise the value of the newcomer and make their cash cow grow faster by winning the prize.
And some of them are because the money spent on public relations at this time will be earned back after the movie wins the award, or even doubled to earn it back and will not lose at all.
"As a director, I recommend Ron Howard, he is very accomplished in shooting thrillers, and "A Beautiful Mind" shot in 01 won him Best Director and Golden Globe Award for Best Picture.
And when Lang and I first met, and when we were talking about movies, he was very interested in the book "Leonardo da Vinci's Code", and said that if I had time, I would find a few good screenwriters and see if I could come up with a movie script. Peter spoke.
Not necessarily all directors in the director's circle, but there must be many directors in the director's circle, and even many of them are good friends. It's not uncommon to sit together over a drink and talk about movies.
"Then it's going to be him, what about the actor?" Yang Dongxu nodded.
Seriously, he doesn't have a few Hollywood directors who are familiar with him, that is, he knows the names of several well-known directors of Cameron, or a big director like Ang Lee, who has a high exposure in China.
In the others, if Peter said this Ron Howard, listening to his tone, he should be considered a big director, but Yang Dongxu is not impressed.
But on the Hollywood side, sometimes the director is more well-known than the stars in the movie, and the environment is different to live, and he can pull the box office.
In China, except for those directors who bombard the media back and forth every day, people can get to know them. Even if it is a blockbuster movie, what the audience can remember is basically that the hero and heroine of the movie are at a loss as to who the director is.
"Let's talk about it after talking to Howard, he is a convenient director of thrillers, and since he has also thought about changing this into a script, he estimates that there are suitable candidates for several roles in his heart.
So meet with Howard first and agree, if you decide that he will direct, you can ask his opinion on the selection of actors. Jos spoke.
As soon as his big boss opened his mouth, he knew what it meant, obviously wanting to settle everything that could be decided while he was still in the United States.
However, the script is well settled, and his boss is not short of money, and the shooting funds are not a problem. But the director and the actors can't be decided in three or two sentences, especially the actors have to go through several rounds of testing, even if Howard really directs this movie. He may have several candidates for that role, and he needs to look pale on the spot before he can make a decision.
"Okay, wait until the director settles down, is there anything else?" asked Yang Dongxu.
Joss rolled his eyes, and Bob suddenly felt that he had made a little too reckless in his investment this time. How do you feel that Yang Dongxu is not so concerned about this side of the matter, and he just handles it casually?
"The variety show script has basically made a decision within the company, and now it is looking for a director and guests, which seems to be more difficult than imagined. Jos said helplessly.
Originally, he thought that variety shows could be copied like talent variety shows, but after watching the samples brought by Yang Dongxu, he found that there is no suitable person to do it in the United States, whether it is the stage, the host, or the game content.
"I'll say hello to Haina and ask him to send you a few experienced people who are familiar with these variety shows to come over as producers. However, my opinion is that if there is a suitable one on the side of the United States, look for it on the United States side.
After all, anyone's humor cells and likes things are different. The things that are popular in Huaxia can't be all brought to the United States, they must be localized. For example, if something can make the country laugh, the Chinese people will find it boring, and vice versa. ”
"I know this, but I always have to find an experienced person who can make the work go smoothly, right? As for the variety show content and guest games, there will be a meeting to agree on how to localize it at that time. Jos spoke.
"That's fine. Yang Dongxu nodded, "Is there anything else?"
Jos was speechless, you just came to the company and less than one disappeared, right? Why do you always feel like you want to leave?
"There's a little party I've got there in the evening, and Charried and Jimmy will say yes, and you can bring a female companion. Joss didn't seem to be the right thing, Joss said.
Hearing that Charried and Jimmy Yang Dongxu instantly thought of Weta Digital, because these two are also shareholders of this company. However, I heard Peter say that he could bring a female companion, and it is estimated that he is not talking about anything important in the company, but a simple get-together.
"Got it, what time is it?"
"At Bob's house at seven o'clock in the evening, he just bought a new house in Los Angeles. Peter smiled and looked at Bob.
Then I thought of Bob's new house and seemed to think of something, and I couldn't help but have a different look on my face.
"Okay, I'll be on time. Yang Dongxu didn't know about Bob's new house purchase.
But he is very clear about Bob's divorce, really in a big dye vat like Hollywood. Except for people like Yang Dongxu who often work in China and are alone.
Whether it's the boss of a film company, a big star, or a big director, some of them are definitely more emotionally rich than you can imagine. Bob, for example, is already in his third divorce.
It stands to reason that the fifth diamond king like him is the most correct choice not to get married. But every time he felt that he had met true love, so he happily got married.
Then within a few years, I found out that I didn't really love my current wife, but someone else, so I divorced and took out a sum of alimony. Start with the true love you have identified, then get married, and repeat ......
You say he's a scumbag, he gets married every time, and divides his property to the woman in the divorce. You say that he is infatuated, but his true love is always the next ......
