The United States is a strange country, where Americans wear clothes made in China, shoes made in India, corn grown in Mexico and Brazil, and many of the cars they drive are Toyotas in Japan and BMW in Germany......

In short, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of this country are basically made by other countries. However, they also have one thing, but it is made locally, and they are in charge of the world's cattle ears, and that is ...... Movie!

Yes, the United States is the country with the largest film production and sales in the world, with a total annual film value of more than $20 billion.

The output of American movies is amazing, but there are many losses, and there are many who can rush the gate and throw dark horses.

Low-cost, small-scale production, and the most successful but amazing box office, such a dark horse is not without in the history of American cinema.

For example, the classic love film "Human Ghost Love" filmed in 1990. The total investment of this drama is less than 10 million, and most of the funds are used for the special effects design of "ghosts", but the box office of this drama is amazing, in just four months, the box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars in China; Immediately after, it received 2.8 billion yen in Japan, beating blockbusters such as "Total Recall" and "Back to the Future 3" in the United States to become the box office champion.

In the end, this low-cost "ghost film" reached a staggering $500 million at the global box office! That's not all, this drama has also won six Oscar nominations and four Golden Globe nominations, won the British Award, and won N overseas awards, which is definitely the highest level of fame and fortune!

Since there is such a precedent, Yi Feiyang is very confident that he hopes to find a suitable film company to negotiate with the other party about the sale of the copyright of the play "Blair the Witch", and it is best to sell it at a good price.

Of course, if you have your own film company, your own cinema chain, and a lot of money for publicity, you don't have to sell such a lucrative movie to others. As long as the movie is released, it will be able to sit on the box office in the future.

But today's Yi Feiyang has nothing, even if he does, he still has to face a problem, that is, the box office is not accumulated in a day, and you can get money in a day; It takes at least half a year cycle, or even a year or two, to actually receive the money. During this time, you must be able to ensure that you "live".

Yi Feiyang is a very utilitarian person, he understands his strengths and weaknesses, and everything he does now actually has only one purpose, that is, to create wealth for his original accumulation!

With the money, you can do bigger things, make the movies you want to make, do the things you want to do; Conversely, you can't do anything without start-up capital!

A penny is hard to beat a hero!

In the same way, a penny can be any genius!

There is no doubt that the United States is a country with an exceptionally developed film industry, and with such a huge film empire, film companies are like the Warring States era of hegemony, with seven countries competing for power.

And these seven kings of movies are MGM, Columbia, Disney, Universal, Warner, as well as Paramount and Fox!

These seven major film companies basically control the rise and fall of the entire Hollywood, and are in charge of the general direction of the world's film industry. Occasionally, however, new studios have popped up to challenge their authority, such as ...... Lionsgate.

The founder of Lionsgate is called "Frank Gusta", who was originally a Canadian banker who single-handedly established Lionsgate in 1997. At that time, he wanted to invest in the thriving film industry. In the early days, the company purchased many small production equipment and distributors, and spent a lot of money to purchase a number of large cinema chains.

Lionsgate's first commercially successful film was American Psycho. Thus began its controversial journey in the mainstream American film industry. And from the perspective of Lionsgate's dominant audience, they are aimed at American teenagers, so most of the films they produce are horror films and thrillers for this audience.

The reason why Yi Feiyang chose Lionsgate to buy and sell the copyright in his hands this time is because he takes a fancy to this. And in his previous life, Yi Feiyang loved Lionsgate very much, and loved the "Chainsaw" series and the "Hunger Games" series filmed by this company.

Lionsgate's corporate headquarters in the United States is located in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles, which is a battleground for N multi-film companies, facing Hollywood in the east and the Pacific Ocean in the west.

When Yi Feiyang came to Lionsgate's headquarters with confidence and looked up at the newly established film company, Yi Feiyang knew very well that in another ten years, that is, in 2007, this young lion would replace the original MGM and become a lion in Hollywood. Become one of Hollywood's new Seven Heroes.

Guarding the door was a gorilla-like black security guard, who looked vigilantly at Yi Feiyang, a Chinese man with strange behavior.

He didn't understand what the other party was looking up, but as a security guard, he walked over very vigilantly and asked Yi Feiyang: "Hey, man, do you have something?" If you're not in trouble, don't wander around. ”

Yi Feiyang smiled and said politely, "I'm here to find Mr. Gusta, and I have important matters to discuss with him." ”

"Gusta? Are you looking for our boss? Unfortunately, our boss is out of luck, so please come back next time! "The black security guard naturally doesn't believe this guy's nonsense, see our boss, do you look like someone with that kind of qualifications.

"It's okay, I can wait for him here, when will he be back?" Yi Feiyang was not discouraged.

"I don't know about that, but I'd advise you to leave, man, do you know what I mean?" The black security guard was getting impatient.

Yi Feiyang shrugged, "Then can I find someone else, for example, there is a Mr. Mike, who seems to be the head of the distribution department, and I look for him the same." After speaking, Yi Feiyang walked in, and then sat on the chair in the leisure area.

When the black security guard saw him like this, he seemed to curse something, and he stopped paying attention to him.

Yi Feiyang waited for a while, looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. So he got up and went to the secretary's desk and said to the female secretary who was applying nail polish, "When will Director Mike come to work?" ”

The female secretary said in a tone of ignorance: "How do I know this? I'm just the secretary here, not his babysitter! ”

Yi Feiyang had no choice but to nod, and just as he turned around, he heard someone shouting: "Mr. Mike, there is a document here that you need to sign." ”

Yi Feiyang looked back and saw a short and fat white man coming in through the revolving door, and a company employee followed him with documents.

Obviously, this dwarf winter melon should be Director Mike.

Director Mike took out his gold pen, brushed it, and signed the document in style, then threw it back and boarded the elevator with his personal assistant.

When the elevator door was about to close, a hand came in, and then I saw a Chinese man say to him: "Hello, Mr. Mike, my name is Yi Feiyang, and I have contacted Mr. Gusta before about the issue of the film copyright in my hand......

"Oh, you're the one...... The boss mentioned it to me; But I'm busy right now, man, you see, I have a very important meeting to go, so just wait a minute! With that, Director Mike pressed the button, and the elevator closed.

Yi Feiyang didn't expect this dwarf winter melon to be so faceless, seeing that the other party had gone upstairs, he had to return to the leisure area again and continue to sit on the cold bench.

Time passed slowly, minute by minute.

Yi Feiyang waited a little impatiently.

At the secretary's desk not far away, a black security guard was grinning and farting with the female secretary.

Yi Feiyang walked over, "I'm sorry for you, may I ask Mr. Mike if he finished the meeting?" ”

"How do I know the way?" The female secretary was very upset, and someone interrupted her chat.

"Then I'll give you a phone call and ask."

The female secretary gave Yi Feiyang a fierce look, "You wait!" ”

Call over, and after a while, the phone is connected.

"Mr. Mike, there's a gentleman downstairs looking for you...... yes, it's that Chinese, well, let him wait a little longer...... It's good, it's good, well, see you again! ”

"Do you hear me, tell you to wait a little longer!" The female secretary hung up impatiently.

"Hey, man, just sit there! Don't bother anyone anymore, Mr. Mike will call you when he is free! The black security guard complained about the female secretary.

Yi Feiyang took a deep breath, tried to suppress his fiery temper, and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait a little longer." "Walked back to the relaxation area.

The black security guard turned his head and said to the female secretary proudly, "Damn the Chinese guys, that's how they don't know each other!" ”

……

Another hour passed.

It was already noon, and Yi Feiyang's stomach began to growl. The female secretary and the black security guard had already switched shifts for lunch.

The black security guard was burping, picking her front teeth with the company keys she was equipped with, and the female secretary was holding a small mirror in the front desk to apply her rubbed lipstick.

A delivery man opened the door and walked in, saying that Mr. Mike had ordered a French set meal, black pepper beef tenderloin, cheese gratin snails, and French foie gras......

The female secretary quietly called Mike's supervisor and said, "Your food delivery has arrived, and the Chinese is still waiting." ”

"Oh shit, that idiot hasn't left yet?! Let him wait, just say I'm busy, wait until I've had lunch! ”

Then there was a woman's laughter on the other end of the phone, and Mr. Mike's laughter: "Baby, look, are we going to drink red wine or brandy later?" ”

Sneakily hung up the phone, and when the female secretary looked up, she saw Yi Feiyang looking at her with a smile.
