Martin Scorsese is a well-known director in the beautiful country.

This is a director with great personality, who enjoys a high reputation in Europe, America, and even the entire film industry.

"Taxi Driver", "Angry Niu Niu", "Bad Guy", "Sheep on Wall Street" are all from his hand.

However, it was such a great director who came to visit in person and wanted to buy the copyright of the remake of "Infernal Affairs" from Lin Feng.

"Infernal Affairs" was not screened in Europe and the United States, but because of its popularity in Longguo, some foreign media also reported it.

Martin Scorsese is a director who is very keen on police and gangster movies. The name "Infernal Affairs" alone caught his attention.

He also wanted to see what was so unique about such a police and gangster movie that was popular in Asia.

So, he got someone to find the movie.

At a glance.

Martin Scorsese was astonished.

The ingenious setting of double undercover agents, the ups and downs of the plot, the complicated inner feelings of the characters, and the unexpected and reasonable ending of God's reversal.

Everything looks perfect.

It's an almost perfect movie.

Martin Scorsese has naturally heard of Lin Feng, the lead actor and director of this film.

Because Lin Feng threw the trophy at the Niu Yue Film Festival, the reaction in Europe and America was too strong.

In fact, he was Niuyueren, and he was there at the time.

I have to say that this young man is very energetic, but also very talented...

...

Lin Feng's studio.

When Lin Feng flew back here from Jinling, Martin Scorsese was waiting patiently with someone else.

Seeing Lin Feng coming in, Martin Scorsese stood up and said with a smile:

"Lin Feng, we meet again!"

Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, Lin Feng couldn't help being taken aback: "Mr. Scorsese, have we met before?"

Seth laughed: "When you threw the trophy at the Niu Yue Film Festival, I sat down and watched."

"Oh--"

Lin Feng was stunned, and said: "Your host is really rude, I have no choice but to do it."

"Understand understand!"

Martin Scorsese nodded with a smile, and said: "I think back then, when I made my first film "Who's Knocking on My Door", I also took this film to participate in the Chicago International Film Festival that year. Film Festival."

"However, none of those arrogant judges and distributors liked my film, and even made some sarcasm, which made me very shocked and angry. If I had the chance, I would also want to throw a trophy on the stage!"

"Since then, I have lost confidence in the movies of the beautiful country!"

"Later I decided to go to Europe to develop, so I went to Holland, but in Holland, the film I was after was still not understood by the producers. In Amsterdam, I had to edit for a living. .”

"To this day, my work is still not recognized by the Oscar, the so-called highest film hall in the beautiful country!"

An international director smiled and told Lin Feng about his past.

There is no airs at all, just like a kind old man from a foreign country.

Lin Feng did not expect that he would be understood by a great director from New York when he threw the trophy at the Niu Yue Film Festival.

But it's normal to think about it.

Martin Scorsese is a director with great personality. In an environment where Hollywood only advocates commercial results, he has always insisted on his own will and spared no effort to pursue the exploration of film language.

For this point, Lin Feng still admires it very much.

After the chat, Martin Scorsese also got straight to the point, saying: "The purpose of our visit this time, I think your assistant has told you, we hope to be able to purchase the remake copyright of "Infernal Affairs", what do you think? ?”

Lin Feng didn't hesitate, and replied happily: "But

by! "

"it is good!"

Martin Scorsese nodded in satisfaction: "Then how much do you want to pay?"

"Thirty million dollars!"

After hearing Lin Feng's answer, the manager of Warner Bros., the investor who came with Martin Scorsese, looked embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, the manager said, "Mr. Lin Feng, is it a little taller?"

In fact, his mental count was around five million.

Lin Feng suddenly offered up to six times the price, which still made him a little hard to accept.

However, Martin Scorsese liked this movie very much and expressed his desire to remake it many times.

This put Warner's manager in a dilemma for a while.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "If you think it's too high, how about this, I'll take 10% of the profits from the remake."

"This……"

The manager hesitated for a moment.

"Infernal Affairs" has never been screened in Europe and America. After the remake, it will almost be released in Europe and America as a brand new film. As for the box office, it is difficult for him to predict.

Because many movies are popular in Asia, but it is another scene in Europe and the United States.

However, it is reasonable for Lin Feng to ask for 10% of the profits.

Because this script was created by him, and it is linked to the box office, it is also excellent to tie everyone on the same boat and share risks.

The manager made some calculations and finally agreed to Lin Feng's second plan.

Martin Scorsese was as happy as an old child when he saw the deal was concluded, which shows how much he loves "Infernal Affairs".

Before leaving, he and Lin Feng exchanged numbers.

It is said that during the filming process, if there are any problems, Lin Feng must give advice...

...

The follow-up contract will be signed by Zhao Yongyue and Warner Bros.

And Martin Scorsese didn't stay long, and returned to China to remake "Infernal Affairs" as soon as he got the copyright.

And Lin Feng's new drama "In the Name of the People" has also officially started filming...
