The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Hainer wants to make his own Hollywood movie, and it is no longer a day or two. When he first entered Hollywood, Yang Dongxu had such a method. At that time, he knew that there were countless possible blockbuster movies that could be a dark horse running all the way.

But in the end, all these movies became the target of Heiner to invest and make money, and none of them belonged to Heiner completely. Basically, they belong to the type of people who get in the car and go whoring, and then the movie sells for a penny and leaves. Don't even think about the movie copyright, and you can't get in if you want to invest in the sequel.

It's kind of like going through all kinds of obstacles in Hollywood, and finally found your way out. But others built a train track on it to make money, so he didn't feel like it was a big deal.

And just because I didn't make my own movie, the most important point is that I got stuck on the theater line. Heiner, who entered Hollywood at the time, was ambitious.

Not only is it inextricably fighting with the three world giant record companies, Sony, Warner, and Universal, in the Asian record market. At the same time, while entering Hollywood, I feel like I want to overtake these people and ignite the flames of war in the United States.

As a result, coupled with the prejudice of Westerners against Chinese people, they naturally encountered Waterloo, and finally relied on variety shows to force back a wave of blood. But he recovered his blood on variety shows, but the film side couldn't open the situation for a long time.

The reason is that several giant companies used their personal connections not to arrange theaters for Haina's film. In other words, your movie is shot, but there is no place to put it, and no one will put it if you don’t want money.

Movies are made to make money, even if Yang Dongxu is not only for money. He is willing to lose money in order to build Haina's reputation, but what are you going to do if the theaters don't arrange filming for you?

Therefore, as an investor, it is no problem to invest in movies. If you want to make a movie, even if you want to make a movie, it is okay to approve the project, and if you want to release it, there is no problem. That is to say, in the past few years, the relationship between Haina and several major TV stations has become better and better.

With the investment in movies that are basically sold well, it can be regarded as having its own brand, and it has more or less contacts in Hollywood. I have accumulated these capitals, so I have the courage to shoot my own movie this time.

However, an opportunity is still needed to break the current deadlock, and Bieber is the opportunity that Joss found. With Bieber's endorsement, Hollywood can be regarded as a powerful person speaking for Heiner.

In this way, if the movie is really of good quality and can make money, then the theaters will give Bieber a little face. What's more important is that the Chinese film market has gradually risen in recent years. The common sense of the films sent here in the United States performed well, and they can be developed into a box office.

But Haina is undoubtedly a tiger that dominates the entire Asian market. If he wants to go to China to make money, he won't arrange a theater for you, believe it or not? Therefore, the interests of various parties sat down together, and the businessman who would not be able to get by with money smiled and expressed his willingness to show the movie made by Heiner.

"How did "The Da Vinci's Code" come up with the idea to make this type of movie?" In the spacious and bright meeting of Haina, Yang Dongxu asked in surprise as he looked at the selected script in front of him.

He hasn't seen the movie "The Da Vinci's Code", but the name sounds familiar. It is probably a very popular movie. After all, he was a poor boy at the bottom of society in his last life. If this movie didn't become a hit, he, a person living at the bottom of society, would never have heard of this name.

Although he knew that this movie should be good, but he hadn't seen it, and it turned out to be a horror movie. This can't help but make him hesitate.

After all, although thriller movies have performed well in the TV market in recent years, more of them hit the street. Especially in Huaxia, comedy is actually more popular.

"We don't have Marvel, we don't have magic like Harry Potter, and we don't have much comedy material. So now we can only start to find entry points from thriller movies, and thriller movies have always been expected to do well at the box office in the European and American markets. "Jose explained.

"What do you think?" Yang Dongxu looked at Bob and Peter next to him, and Joss moved quickly. The script has not been selected yet, let alone the actors and the director, and the investment has just been arranged with Bob.

Bob, who has cooperated with Yang Dongxu, naturally has no objection, and he has made a lot of money investing in movies with Haina in the past few years. So I also want to see if Heiner, a lucky boy in Hollywood, will be upset again this time and double his investment, so the invitation to invest in Joss is very exciting.

That's right, Hollywood is currently treating Heiner as a lucky kid, like a bum in a joint who suddenly wins the lottery. It's just that Heinardo clocked it a few times.

"The material of the movie is very good. The novel of the same name is very popular in the European and American markets and has a certain audience, so as long as the filming is not too bad, at least you can make a small profit." Bob said.

The investment is generous, but Bob still has to check what movie he invests in. Is he an idiot throwing money into the water, so Joss chose this script by me. He has done market research, so now he is more willing to vote.

"In the past few years, there have been no masterpieces of horror movies in the European and American film markets, and I have never heard of anyone shooting a large-scale thriller movie. Therefore, according to the large amount of investment this time, the effect should be good. Moreover, the material and content of this movie are very good. Maybe you can win a prize if you shoot it." Peter said.

Bob looks at the problem from the perspective of a businessman, while Peter considers it from the perspective of a director.

"Then let's settle this. Do you have any recommendations for actors and directors?" Yang Dongxu said.

Obviously, Peter's words that he could win an award moved him, although thriller movies are not as popular as literary movies. But it is indeed easier to win awards than commercial movies.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the box office of a movie is directly proportional to the award. If a movie wins an award, especially some important awards. Movies are likely to explode again, because everyone is curious.

There are always many people who want to see for themselves what are the unique features of the films that can be selected by the film festival. This is also because many movies have been released, but after the awards ceremony, the videotapes can sell a lot. Coupled with peripherals and various advertising effects, the film company can make another wave steadily.

So for those film companies on the eve of some film festivals. Don't be surprised by the public relations of stars and directors. Some public relations are to raise the status of newcomers, so that their own cash cow can grow faster by winning big prizes.

And some are because the money spent on public relations at this time will be earned back after the movie wins an award, or even doubled, and there will be no loss at all.

"For the director, I recommend Ron Howard. He has made great achievements in shooting thrillers. In 2001, he filmed "A Beautiful Mind" and won him the Best Director and Golden Globe Award for Best Picture.

Besides, Lang and I just met before. When we were talking about movies, he was very interested in the book "The Da Vinci Code". Come up with a movie script. " Peter said.

Not all directors in the director's circle are directors, but there must be many directors in the director's circle, and many of them are even good friends. It's a common thing to sit together, drink and talk about movies when it's okay.

"Then decide him, where is the actor?" Yang Dongxu nodded.

To be honest, he is not familiar with many Hollywood directors, that is, he knows the names of several well-known directors like Cameron, or directors like Ang Lee who are highly exposed in China.

In other places, if the Ron Howard Peter mentioned, he should be regarded as a great director, but Yang Dongxu didn't have much impression.

But here in Hollywood, sometimes directors are more famous than the stars in the movie, and they have to live, and the environment that can pull the box office is different.

In China, apart from those few directors who are bombarded back and forth in the media every day, they can be recognized by people. Even if it is a big-selling movie, what the audience can remember is that the hero and heroine of the movie are basically at a loss as to who the director is.

"Let's talk about it after talking with Howard. He is a great director of thrillers. Since he also thought about turning this novel into a script, he probably has suitable candidates for several roles in the novel.

So first meet with Howard to make an agreement. If he is determined to direct, then you can ask his opinion on the selection of actors. "Jose said.

As soon as his big boss opened his mouth, he knew what it meant. Obviously, he wanted to settle everything that could be settled while he was still in the United States.

But the script is easy to finalize, and my boss is not short of money for filming, so it is not a problem. But the director and the actors can't be decided in a few words, especially the actors have to go through several rounds of tests, even if Howard really came to direct the movie. He may have several candidates for that role, and he needs to make a decision on the spot.

"That's fine, we'll talk about it after the director settles down. Is there anything else?" Yang Dongxu asked.

Joss rolled his eyes, and Bob suddenly felt that his investment this time was a little too rash. Why does it feel that Yang Dongxu is not so concerned about this matter, but just deal with it casually?

"The company has basically made a decision on the variety show script. Now we are looking for a director and inviting guests. This seems to be more difficult than expected." Joss said helplessly.

Originally, he thought that variety shows could be replicated like talent show variety shows, but after watching the samples brought by Yang Dongxu, he realized that there is currently no suitable person in the US for the stage, host, or game content.

"I will say hello to Heiner, and ask him to send you some experienced people who are familiar with these variety shows to be producers. But my opinion is that if there are suitable ones in the US, look for them in the US. .

After all, everyone's sense of humor and what they like are different. Things that are popular in China cannot be imported to the United States by rote, they must be localized. For example, something that can make America laugh, Chinese people will find it boring, and vice versa. "

"I know this, but you have to find an experienced person to make the work go smoothly, right? As for the content of variety shows and guest games, we will hold a meeting to discuss how to localize it." Joss said.

"That's fine." Yang Dongxu nodded, "Is there anything else?"

Joss is speechless, you just came to the company and less than one disappeared, right? Why do you always feel like you want to leave immediately? Is the company incompatible with you, so you don't want to stay?

"I have a small party in the evening, and Charlie and Jimmy will also talk about it, and you can bring a female companion." Seeing that Joss seemed to have nothing to do, Joss said.

Hearing Charlie De and Jimmy Yang Dongxu immediately thought of Weta Digital, because these two are also shareholders of this company. However, I also heard from Peter that he could bring a female companion. It is estimated that the discussion is not about important matters of the company, but a simple gathering.

"Understood, what time?"

"At Bob's house at seven in the evening, he just bought a new house in Los Angeles." Peter looked at Bob with a smile.

Then, when he thought of Bob's new house, he seemed to think of something again, and he couldn't help showing a different look on his face.

"Okay, I'll be there on time." Yang Dongxu didn't know about Bob's new house purchase.

But he was very clear about Bob's divorce. To be honest, he was in a big dye vat like Hollywood. Except for people like Yang Dongxu who often work in the country and take care of themselves outside.

Whether it's the boss of a film company, a big star, or a big director, some of them are full of emotions beyond your imagination. For example, Bob is already divorced for the third time.

It stands to reason that for a diamond king like him, not getting married is the most correct choice. But every time he felt that he had met true love, so he happily went to get married.

Then within a few years, I found out that I didn't have true love for my current wife, and my true love was someone else, so I divorced and paid alimony. Start with your true love, then get married, and repeat.

You can say that he is a playful scumbag, he gets married every time, and divides the property to the woman after divorce. You say he is infatuated, but his true love will always be next.
