Chapter 150 "Tailor-made" works

However, Fang Mingyuan's next words made Spielberg turn from sadness to happiness.

"Director Spielberg, you should know that since I debuted, Kumho Film Group must be involved in the filming of every film. Otherwise, Ms. Yu Qiuxia will not be able to spare me!" Fang Mingyuan clasped his hands.

Tan said with a helpless look, "I really don't know who among us is the major shareholder!"

Spielberg couldn't help but laugh. Since he decided to come to meet Fang Mingyuan, Spielberg naturally had to know something about Fang Mingyuan's past. Naturally, he had also heard about these things between him and the Guo family over the years. It was indeed true.

As Fang Mingyuan said, whether the script he produced was handed over to Hong Kong filmmakers or shot by Cameron, Kumho Film Group had a hand in it. It is precisely because of this that a family in several countries has a hand in it.

A film company that did not exist at all a few years ago has now become the largest film group company in Hong Kong! It has a large number of talents. Although it cannot be compared with the big companies in Hollywood, it is no less inferior to those established companies in Hong Kong!

The current head of Kumho Film Group is Yu Qiuxia, the daughter-in-law of the Kwok family in Hong Kong, a young woman who originally had nothing to do with movies!

But Spielberg also has to admit that Kumho Group is what it is today, on the one hand because Fang Mingyuan can continuously provide high-quality scripts, and on the other hand, Yu Qiuxia also contributes a lot to the management of the group company!

"Director Spielberg, if you can convince Sister Qiu Xia to leave "Ratcatcher" to DreamWorks alone, then I have no objection here." Fang Mingyuan irresponsibly kicked the ball to Yuan Zai.

Yu Qiuxia in Hong Kong.

Spielberg laughed heartily. Fang Mingyuan's answer did not surprise him. Moreover, before coming, Spielberg had thought about how to cooperate with Kumho Film Group.

The reason is actually very simple. Although China has liberalized the film import market, the number is limited. Only twelve foreign films can be imported and broadcast domestically each year. Although, these twelve quotas are almost all by

Hollywood has taken it all, but these Hollywood film companies are not satisfied. China has the largest population in the world, which means it is the largest hidden movie-viewing market. Today, as the movie markets in Europe and the United States are becoming increasingly saturated, this market is for

These Hollywood film companies are especially important! For the hundreds of films produced by Hollywood every year, the twelve film import quotas are too few, too few, so few that these film companies cannot allocate them! They will have to compete for these.

With quotas, Hollywood film companies can simply break their heads!

Spielberg realized a long time ago that the existence of Kumho Group is a special case. Since the return of Hong Kong is imminent, the film market in mainland China has opened up to Hong Kong films. As long as the film can be approved by the relevant government departments, it will

There are no clear quantitative restrictions on the ability to enter the mainland market. Kumho Film Group and Jade Bird Film Group Co., Ltd. have undoubtedly taken advantage of this loophole!

Kumho Film Group, except for the first two co-productions, which invested 50/50 with Kingfisher Film Group, the rest of the films accounted for the majority of the investment. Although most of the actors are European and American

People, the filming locations are also in European and American countries, the director is Cameron, but they always arrange a Hong Kong director to be the assistant director, and then bring in a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that those Hong Kong people are all former

Those who go to study and start work have no real power in the crew at all. Cameron has the final say in everything. But externally, it is a collaboration between the two major film companies. In this case, these films can naturally be regarded as Hong Kong films.

Movies can enter China without taking up the twelve quotas! To be honest, seeing the Kingfisher Film Group’s performance booming due to its cooperation with Kumho Film Group, it’s only fair that the bosses of other Hollywood film companies are not jealous.

What a liar.

During this period, other film companies have made requests for cooperation to Kumho Film Group, but they were all declined by Kumho Film Group - not even politely declined. When Kumho Film Group was founded, to put it bluntly, it was just a grassroots team.

, there is no team of its own at all. It is said to be a cooperative filming with the Jade Bird Film Group Company and local film companies in Hong Kong, but in fact, except for the script and financial personnel, no one can be sent.

Kingfisher Film Group has Cameron here to help check the situation. Hong Kong's local film company has the giant Kuok Shipping Group, so there is no need to worry, but if you switch to another film company, Kumho Film is not familiar with the inside story.

The group company, Yingqi was sold, and he still counted the money for others.

But things are different now. After years of continuous talent cultivation and poaching from major film companies, Kumho Film Group finally has a capable team. Although it is difficult to compete with Hollywood.

Those old film companies can't compare, but in Hong Kong, Kumho Film Group is already the well-deserved leader.

At this time, Kumho Film Group really had the confidence to cooperate with other film companies in Hollywood. The lucky one chosen by Fang Mingyuan and Yu Qiuxia was DreamWorks.

As the saying goes, a man chases a woman like a girl, and a woman chases a man like a piece of paper. If they are in love, it will be a fire!

Since both parties are interested in cooperating, the next thing is simple. It didn't take Spielberg and Fang Mingyuan long to reach a consensus on cooperation - both parties will jointly invest in "Ratcatcher" and enjoy the success of the film together.

The profits generated from this. If the cooperation goes smoothly, the two parties can continue to cooperate on suitable themes in the future.

On the day he arrived in China, he was able to reach a draft with Fang Mingyuan on the cooperation issue. Spielberg was naturally filled with indescribable joy. You know, the screenwriter "Fang" is now also a famous name in Hollywood. Anyone with him

The movies he has written are all eye-catching masterpieces that have done well at the box office. In short, in the eyes of many people now, the name "Fang" represents high-quality products and huge profits! In the past year since its establishment, DreamWorks has

There are no blockbuster works released, but Spielberg believes that as soon as the news of the signing between the two parties spreads, DreamWorks will become the focus of American attention!

Just for the publicity effect generated by this, Spielberg's trip was worthwhile!

Spielberg, who was in a good mood, talked with Fang Mingyuan about his past, his childhood, and the difficulties and dilemmas he encountered when he first entered Hollywood. Although many of them, Fang Mingyuan was in his previous life.

I have seen it before, but how can the cold words be compared with the personal account of the person involved! Fang Mingyuan listened with great interest, and expressed deep emotion from time to time.

"Compared to you, my road is obviously too smooth!" Fang Mingyuan sighed.

Spielberg smiled and said nothing. To be honest, in Hollywood, Fang's rise is the biggest miracle. There was no warning, no long-term accumulation, and no one helped him hype, but Fang relied on the movie "The End"

2" has risen dramatically among Hollywood screenwriters. Then came the frequent production of high-quality films, coupled with Cameron's excellent directing ability, he produced one hit after another, and suddenly broke into a world in Hollywood. Now Fang Fang

He is also among the top screenwriters in Hollywood. Of course, Spielberg would not let go of this opportunity to ask for the script from Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan was not surprised by Spielberg's request. Moreover, he had already been prepared for Spielberg!

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Director Spielberg..."

"No, no, no, now that we are cooperation partners, you can call me Steven." Spielberg waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite, it will make me feel the distance between you and me!"

Fang Mingyuan shrugged and said calmly: "Steven, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Spielberg rested his chin on his hand and looked at Fang Mingyuan thoughtfully for a while, then said: "I'll hear the good news first."

"The good news is that I believe there is a script that suits you very well! And it is almost completed!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "I believe that under your direction, it should be qualified to win the Oscar in your country!"

"Well..." Spielberg's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of ecstasy, "What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that even if you finish filming next year, you still have to wait until the right time to release it! If you can't agree to this condition, I won't give you this script." Fang Mingyuan said with a wink.

"Steven, you better believe me, I will do what I say!"

Spielberg opened his mouth in surprise. Such conditions are really weird. Could it be that there is any mystery about the timing of Fang Mingyuan's script?

"Fang, what kind of script are you talking about?" Spielberg continued to ask after a long while.

Fang Mingyuan scratched his head with his right hand and pondered for a long time: "A war film with a strong sense of commemoration and reflection!" He was not so sure about this answer, but in his previous life, this film indeed inspired many people around the world.

A heated discussion about human nature and humanitarianism! Is it appropriate to use the lives of eight people to save a soldier's humanitarian spirit?

"War movie?" Spielberg was a little surprised by Fang Mingyuan's answer. After a moment, he continued to ask, "Can I ask, what did you name it?"

"Saving Private Ryan!"
