Heads Up Hollywood

Compared with Russia's depression, China's economic development is booming.

This summer, Tang En's main travel destination was actually China.

After finalizing the cooperation with South Korea's Special Effects Industrial Park, Hollywood is actively looking for a connection with the Chinese market. Not to mention big companies such as Disney and Warner, even Dreamworks Animation Department intends to come to China to establish a branch.

Needless to say, New Universal.

Although China's film market has not exploded yet, the consumption power of luxury goods has been revealed. For European luxury brands such as LV and Hermes, 80% of their annual sales come from East Asia. South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, the mainland, and Singapore are the largest consumption areas.

In particular, China, with its rapid economic growth, has become the mobile wallet of the luxury market.

Prada's sales volume is extremely high in Japan, and it is also very popular in Hong Kong, but it is slightly sluggish in China and South Korea. The upstarts are more aware of luxury goods with big logos such as LV and Hermes.

Next, Prada...including the "Victoria's Secret" underwear that is being acquired, the marketing and market expansion in the mainland market will be an important development direction of the consumer goods department.

In short, as time goes by, there will be more and more cooperation between New Global and China.

After leaving Moscow, Dunn flew directly to China.

Until the plane landed at the Capital Airport, Tang En seemed to be still immersed in the blissful enjoyment of that wonderful night in Moscow, unable to extricate himself.

So exciting!

Open ten buds in a row, all of them are red.

Russia is also worthy of the title of a fighting nation. Although those beautiful girls are also newcomers, they are different from the soft and cute girls in Korea and Japan. They are really strong. Even if it is the first time, they will not refuse anyone. Boldly Cheng Huan, she shed tears even if it hurts, but also gritted her teeth and persisted.

The quality of will is particularly good!

Really a rare experience.

Tang En came to China with a very full schedule.

First of all, he is going to the crew of "Mulan".

The movie has been wrapped.

Rose Pictures is negotiating with China Film to coordinate the post-production of the next film and the marketing work that will start immediately.

The movie is expected to be released in March next year.

Now is the time to warm up the hype!

The global distribution department is responsible for the publicity and distribution work in overseas markets. The mainland market is quite special and is monopolized by China Film Group. However, China Film's publicity strategy and marketing methods are relatively old and backward, and the US is actively arranging to teach them the operation experience of commercial blockbusters.

This is helping!

In the process of the rise of great powers, it is often necessary to spend money to buy experience and advanced technology in order to avoid detours and develop in a straight line.

It can be said that the American crew of "Mulan" has received great respect and warm hospitality from China Film Group.

Very happy to cooperate!

Tang En came to the International Hotel where the crew stayed and found the executive producer of "Mulan", Barry M. Osborne.

He is probably the best producer of commercial blockbusters with cross-border cooperation in Hollywood, including "Samurai", "Face Changing", and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, etc., in which he participated.

It is the first time for him to cooperate with the Chinese side.

"Everything went well. Although many of their actions were not professional, they were sincere and their execution was very strong." Barry Osborn did not complain when he met the big boss Twain.

It seems that he appreciates this Sino-US cooperation.

Tang En smiled, "I heard... a little accident happened when you were selecting the extras?"

"Oh! That incident!" Barry Osborne smiled wryly. "It was my responsibility. I didn't communicate with the Chinese team at work, and this accident happened."

A commercial blockbuster like "Mulan" is not a shooting team. Literary and martial arts go hand in hand, as well as location and interspersed plots, which are often shot separately.

It's not a literary film, as long as the plot is smooth and the language of the camera is generally acceptable, shortening the cycle is equivalent to saving the budget.

As a result, an accident happened when a filming team was filming the plot of the heroine Hua Mulan's hometown.

"What's going on?" Dunn asked.

Barry Osborne sighed, and described the ins and outs of the incident in a rambling manner.

This second wave of filming teams went to the location to perform shooting tasks. First of all, they had to select extras, and then they went to Huairou Film and Television Base. However, they never expected that most of Huairou's extras are liars!

The group leaders, directors, extras, and intermediaries there colluded with each other to jointly manipulate the extras market, forming a gray industrial chain.

These group leaders and homeowners rented the farmyards around the film and television base, and then began to recruit extras under various names.

Many young people who don't know the depth and have dreams of movies will accept interviews from intermediary companies after seeing the recruitment advertisements.

Then, the intermediary will ask for the payment of introduction fees, insurance fees, deposits, handling fees, security deposits and other expenses.

The reasons are all kinds of strange, all in all, it is to collect money!

After paying the money, these young people will be dragged to the rented yards around Huairou, which is commonly known as Huairou small courtyard.

After coming here, it really looks like a pyramid scheme organization, and it will carry out brainwashing propaganda of "making money first".

The group leader will confiscate their credentials and tell them to wait patiently, but basically there is no chance.

It's not bad if you can run a few tricks a month.

In this way, they will not be able to maintain their lives at all, what should they do?

The group leader has other arrangements.

Better yet, go to the movie company to pick up "public relations" orders and accompany big clients. Maybe in the process, he was photographed by the big boss, so he jumped up to the branch and became a phoenix, and he could directly be the protagonist.

Almost... I can only go to nightclubs to accompany drinks.

Generally speaking, young people with movie dreams don't look too bad!

Those who are too bad will not be accepted by the group leader.

If anyone is unwilling to leave... Yes, all fees and deposits paid before will not be refunded.

Prior to this, the local film and television company had reached a tacit agreement with the group leaders.

Hello, hello, everyone, live in peace.

"Mulan" is a Hollywood blockbuster, and it has been widely spread, with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars!

Very rich!

After the crew invited extra actors from Huairou, they encountered a series of troublesome events.

The group leader asked that in addition to the necessary salary, they should also undertake businesses such as prop rental, studio chores, and box lunch delivery.

do not accept?

When filming, those group actors would make noise to affect the actors, or block the lens to affect the camera, or switch the power source to affect the lighting... In short, they tried their best to create troubles and interfere with the filming of the crew.

According to conventional logic, in order to ensure the smooth shooting, we quickly reached an overlord agreement with them, and it is better to have less than one more thing.

Many crews in the Hong Kong government do this.

But "Mulan" is a Hollywood movie, and the Americans don't like it. They immediately announced the shutdown and reported it layer by layer.

The production assistant reported to Barry Osborne, and Barry Osborne communicated with Mr. Han from China Film Group.

Things went wrong!

This is not the money-making movie of the Hong Kong government. This is a commercial blockbuster with international significance co-produced by China and the United States! This has international political significance for China!

This incident will have a very bad negative impact!

The next day, the relevant departments took swift action and arrested a group of gang performers in the gray industry chain. Even Huairou's district leaders came to the door to apologize.

"Actually, Mr. Han told me beforehand that he must communicate with the Chinese side in terms of recruiting staff and actors. I really didn't pay attention to the group of group performers, which is why such an accident happened." Barry. Osborn shook his head, "The environment is different, and we really need the cooperation of the local department."

When he was in the United States, Tang En only heard Catherine Kennedy, the director of Rose Films, casually say that a little accident happened during the filming of "Mulan".

I didn't expect it to be so magnificent. This has overturned a gray industrial chain!

"This can be regarded as our contribution to the purification of the mainland's film and television environment, a good thing!" Tang En was very satisfied after hearing the story.

At this time, the door knocked.

Barry Osborne went to get up and open the door, and then saw two beautiful actresses, the heroine and supporting actress of "Mulan".

Miss Zhang said in surprise, "Mr. Osborne, is my brother here?"

"Your brother?"

Barry Osborn froze for a moment.

Miss Zhang pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Dawn Walker."

Barry Osborn couldn't laugh or cry, "Oh! Ah... yes, there it is!"

He is over sixty years old.

I have worked hard in Hollywood for most of my life and have seen too many storms.

The heroine and supporting actress will come, what do you mean?

It's obvious!

Purify the entertainment industry?

Don't even think about it!

Tang En is the biggest beneficiary!

Barry Os found a random reason to leave and gave up the room to Dunn.

"Brother Tang! You are really here!"

After Barry Osborne left, Miss Zhang quickly ran over with her arms open, her face flushed, and she looked very excited.

Tang En snorted coldly, stopped her with a wave of his hand, and reprimanded: "Why did you come here? I'm working, don't you know?"

Ms. Zhang said aggrievedly: "Brother Tang, I miss you. I heard that you are here, so I brought Tiantian here as soon as I heard."

"Sweet?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on the delicate and handsome girl behind Miss Zhang.

It really was her!

Big sweet!

She was wearing a long black dress, with cute red lips, delicate face, long fluttering hair, and she was charming. Especially the big eyes that blinked, seemed a little afraid to look at Tang En, a little shy and pure.

I don't know if it's a feeling of being close to home, Tang En felt that the beautiful girl in front of him was really glamorous, much more beautiful than those cute girls he had collected in Korea and Japan in the past two years.

There is a very close sense of nature.

"Ahem!"

Ms. Zhang coughed heavily, and then with a joking look on her face, she came over and sat next to Tang En with a coquettish smile, hugging his arm flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, don't you think Tian Tian is pretty? ?”

"Well, it's good."

Tang En maintained the majesty of a big boss and remained calm.

The Adam's apple moved inadvertently.

This Miss Zhang really has a good level of flattery!
