The cooperation of "Kung Fu Panda" was finalized in a short time.

For Ye Zhiqiu and Fang Long, this cooperation can be regarded as a win-win situation.

Fang Long has been working in Hollywood for many years. He has funds and channels, but no good scripts; Ye Zhiqiu has scripts, but lacks reliable channels. The two sides complement each other.

The atmosphere of the dinner party later was very warm, and Fang Long's excitement and eagerness were beyond words.

For someone like him who has been working in the film industry for a lifetime, he can't be idle. Only by constantly accepting new challenges and working can he be in the most comfortable state.

However, compared with Fang Long's excitement, Ye Zhiqiu was a little absent-minded, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly said, "Brother Long, in addition to this cartoon, have you ever thought about starring in a movie yourself?"

Fang Long was startled, smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Old man, I can't do it anymore."

Ye Zhiqiu said, "No, I think your body is stronger than many young people now, and you can do a few more movies."

On the side, Wei Bing, who was listening to the two people chatting, kept winking at Ye Zhiqiu, asking him to stop talking.

Fang Long is in his early 60s this year, and his physical fitness is indeed quite strong. It is not a problem for him to continue filming, but if Ye Zhiqiu is deliberately flattering, this flattery is a bit of a flattery.

Who in the circle doesn't know that in recent years, Fang Long's movies have been mediocre at the box office, and the last one didn't even recover the cost.

There are many reasons for this. The main reason is that with the change of the times, the audience's taste in watching movies is also changing. They have become aesthetically fatigued with the relatively single film themes in the past. Fang Long's box office appeal is naturally not as good as before, and he is in an embarrassing situation of "good reviews but not good box office".

Fang Long naturally knows his situation, and this is also the reason why he transformed and cooperated with others to invest in animated films.

Fang Long was not angry, and smiled bitterly: "I can fight, but after all, I can't fight as hard as I did when I was young. I can't fight for my life, and hundreds of brothers under me are unwilling to let me fight."

"Now capital is very realistic. No matter how big you are, what lifetime achievement award, if you don't have box office prospects, they won't invest in you. At most, you can make a cameo appearance."

This is very straightforward, but Ye Zhiqiu said: "Brother Long, what if I invest in you?"

"I will write a script, you will be the leading actor, and it will be released in Hollywood."

When this was said, everyone in the private room was stunned.

Wei Bing looked at Ye Zhiqiu with incredible eyes, thinking that he had heard it wrong because he was drunk just now.

Didn't they say Fang Long asked Ye Zhiqiu to write the script just a second ago? How come it's the other way around now?

I've heard a lot of news about Fang Long supporting newcomers in the industry, but this is the first time I've seen a newcomer supporting Fang Long... Tian Gang is the opposite!

Fang Long was stunned and said, "Zhiqiu, are you serious?"

Ye Zhiqiu looked calm and said, "Of course."

Hearing this, Fang Long's smile gradually faded, and he said directly, "You should know that my first two movies were losses."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Long, I understand what you mean."

"But I think it's not your personal problem. Whether a movie is a hit or not depends on the cast and plot design, especially the latter is the key factor."

"With your personal influence among the movie fans, Brother Long, as long as there is a good script, I believe the audience will definitely buy it."

Fang Long's eyes flashed with a bit of desire, but he didn't So easily persuaded, he asked, "What do you think?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Of course it's an action movie, which is the type you are best at, Brother Long."

"The subject matter belongs to the action crime genre, mainly telling the story of a retired Chinese agent living in the UK, whose only daughter was unfortunately killed in a terrorist attack. In order to seek justice for his daughter, the agent avenges the terrorist organization alone..."

"My plan is that this movie will be co-produced by China and foreign countries. In the play, except for the Chinese agent protagonist and his family, all other actors will be foreign actors..."

What Ye Zhiqiu was talking about was a crime movie called "The Foreigner" in his previous life.

In his previous life, this film can be regarded as the most successful of Jackie Chan's many mediocre box office films in his later years. The global box office performance of more than 100 million US dollars exceeded the expectations of the producer, which is excellent compared to its production cost of more than 30 million.

As Ye Zhiqiu told the story, Fang Long listened attentively, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He has been filming for most of his life, and he has been in Hollywood for so many years, so he has a good understanding of the viewing preferences of European and American audiences. He can roughly tell whether a movie is good or not and whether it has potential.

Obviously, although Ye Zhiqiu's story is not much, the compact plot, suspense and reversal are very interesting.The plot, exciting fighting, and the combination of revenge, personal heroism, justice, family and other elements undoubtedly have the potential to become popular.

What surprised him even more was that Ye Zhiqiu's previous works were all released in China, but this script was very "international", or the style was very suitable for Western audiences.

This is very rare. The education and cultural background of a person basically determine the way he looks at things, and it is difficult to break out of this shackle.

But Ye Zhiqiu seems to have no such restrictions at all. He seems to always be able to accurately grasp the preferences of the audience group before creating...

At this time, Fang Long's interest has been aroused, but for various considerations, he still did not agree at the first time and wanted to ask more details.

Ye Zhiqiu said, "Let's do this, Brother Long."

"It's late now, and the plot can't be explained in a short time. There are still a few days before the Spring Festival Gala, and everyone should be in Beijing."

"I'll write the scripts for Kung Fu Panda and this movie during these few days, and then we'll make an appointment to talk in detail."

Since Ye Zhiqiu said so, Fang Long could only suppress his thoughts and agreed.

Wei Bing, who was sitting next to the two, had a flickering look in his eyes, and I don't know what he was thinking.

At night, the dinner lasted until nearly ten o'clock before it ended.

After several people said goodbye, Wei Bing, who was a little tipsy, got on the nanny car, and an assistant immediately handed her hangover tea and prepared tools to remove her makeup.

Although the cosmetics used were frighteningly expensive, they were chemical substances after all, and they would still harm the skin to some extent. Therefore, Wei Bing, who paid great attention to skin care, was used to removing her makeup immediately after all the schedules for the day were completed.

Wei Bing waved his hand and refused. The agent in the front row turned around and asked with concern: "Did it fail? He didn't even give face in front of the eldest brother?"

The main purpose of Wei Bing's dinner tonight was to borrow Fang Long's face to eliminate the gap between him and Ye Zhiqiu. The agent knew this.

Wei Bing shook his head and said, "It succeeded."

The agent asked curiously, "Why do you look so worried?"

Wei Bing took a deep breath and said, "I heard something big."

"Ye Zhiqiu and Fang Long plan to cooperate in making a movie, which will be released in Hollywood."
