World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Director Xu."

Qin Dong pressed the phone:

"Take two foreign language versions of the script and give them to my agent Martin."

After finishing speaking, Qin Dong looked at Martin:

"Okay, there are indeed two female characters in the script. One is a newcomer to Tom's team, and the other is a villainous female killer. You can decide for yourself which one is more suitable for Elizabeth."

Martin smiled. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. This Chinese woman suddenly came:

"OK, let me read the script first."

After saying that, he took Elizabeth out and walked out.

"My dear, you seemed unhappy just now. What's wrong?"

Seeing that no one was around, Sisi let go and asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I'm going to film the fourth part of [Mission: Impossible]. Martin just wants to seduce someone, just the girl just now. Of course I'm not happy about it."

Qin shakes his head and talks casually.

"Oh, that's it. The girl just now is very beautiful, especially with a good figure."

Sisi stared at Qin Dong's eyes and said suggestively.

"Beautiful? She looks average to me."

Qin shook his head and replied with a somewhat disgusted expression.

"Is it normal? I think that girl has big breasts. Isn't that what you like?"

Sisi didn't believe the man's statement and pointed it out directly.

"When did I say I like people with big breasts?"

Qin Dong asked back, as if he was not such a person.

"hehe..."

Liu Sisi smiled and did not take things seriously with the man.

This man may have many problems, but Sisi is very sure about loving her. She knows that the man's love for her is very deep, very deep.

...

"Martin, were you acting just now?"

In the lounge next door, Elizabeth asked curiously.

"Didn't Martha teach you to be careful when going out?"

Martin frowned, his face turned cold, and he lectured.

"Ah...well, I was wrong. I will follow Martha's teachings carefully when I go back."

Elizabeth was taken aback and quickly apologized. Her question just now was a bit arrogant. There were indeed some things that a young artist like her was not qualified to ask.

"Remember, talk less, do more, and don't waste the opportunity."

Martin thought that Qin liked this girl, so he reminded her carefully:

"You only played a small supporting role in a literary film before, and you are not famous. This time you play the heroine of Tom's movie. You must know how to cherish and be grateful. Know who gave you the opportunity. Don't let Qin down.

Don’t cause trouble for him, understand?”

Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

...

It wasn't until an hour later that someone came to notify Qin Dong.

"How about it?"

Qin Dong came to the conference room again, looked at Paramount's production supervisor Hans and asked.

"Qin, we all agree that the script is very good. There is nothing that needs to be changed. It passed perfectly. It's just that there are a lot of shooting scenes. We traveled to many countries. I'm afraid that in half a month, the preliminary work may not be completed."

Hans said a little embarrassed.

After they read the script, they discussed it together. They felt that the script was perfect and could definitely be filmed directly. There was no need to modify the script. However, they found that the locations of Qin Dong's script involved multiple countries. These communications were very troublesome. In just half a month

A little difficult.

"Hans..."

Qin Dong didn't say anything, but asked:

"Have you checked my information before you came here?"

Hans nodded.

"Now that you've checked, you know my movie-making habits. Don't apply your Hollywood model to me."

Qin shook his head and said calmly:

"My time is precious, so I will give you five more days."

"If you can't accomplish this in 20 days, then I will doubt your ability at Paramount."

Martin heard Qin Dong's tone and stood up:

"Hans, I hope you will convey my customer's wishes to Paramount's senior management."

"Qin is very busy. This time he took over the job temporarily. It only took him three days to write the script you have. I have read the script and my opinion is the same as yours. It is perfect.

The script can definitely boost the reputation of the [Mission: Impossible] series."

"So, don't make things difficult for my customers. Otherwise, as Qin's agent, I can only bring Tom, our old CAA customer, to change some plots in this script so that it will not have anything to do with [Mission: Impossible].

It’s time to start shooting a new movie.”

Hans looked at Martin's face and then at Qin Dong, he understood.

This Chinese director doesn't want to talk nonsense at all, and Martin, the president of CAA, actually follows the steps of this Chinese director.

"OK, I understand. I will report to the senior management after I return and try to secure these shooting locations within 20 days."

Only then did Qin Dong smile:

"That's right. What a wonderful thing it is for everyone to do things neatly and not waste each other's time."

"Actually, if some locations cannot be fixed in the short term, we can directly shoot with green screens and models."

Hans felt better now. No one else would be comfortable being treated rudely all the time.

It would be easier if Qin Dong took a step back after saying this.

After all, green screen is a magical part of filming a movie.

If there is no suitable location, then green screen can meet all your requirements. Whatever location you want, green screen can do it.

When combined with a green screen, the model can express any scene you want.

"Qin, our preliminary calculation of the cost is about US$120 million to US$150 million."

Qin Dong was stunned and shook his head with a smile:

"I don't understand this. I don't know much about prices in foreign countries. It's up to you to figure this out. I'm only responsible for filming. By the way, the crew, I will bring my team. You can also put some people in and let me

Look how your Hollywood crew works."

Hans nodded, hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"Then editing rights..."

Before Hans could finish speaking, Qin Dong pointed out:

"Hans, it goes without saying. Martin knows my habits. Just wait until you go back and ask him."

"I've heard about your movie-making model, but those things are none of my business. I have the final say on everything about my movie."

"You can send a producer to supervise the operation of the crew, you can also send people to provide music, and you can also have subtitle translators. Other things have nothing to do with you."

"When I finish the post-production of the film and the finished film is released, you can come and watch it before we talk about anything else."

Seeing what Hans and Tom's CEO Caitlin wanted to say, Qin Dong didn't give him a chance and stood up directly:

"That's it, you only have 20 days, so don't waste time with me."

"Martin, take them back."

When Martin received Qin Dong's eyes, he understood what he was thinking as a customer, and stood up:

"Hans, Caitlin, let's go."

"Qin, I'm leaving first. In a month, I'll ask you to pick up other scripts, by the way..."

Thinking of something, Martin pulled Qin Dong to the corner of the house and whispered:

"Qin, the copyright of the novel [Get Out of My Way, Let Me Embrace Happiness] that you mentioned is going to make Jennifer win an Oscar has been taken over by the Weinstein Company. In Harvey's hands, the other party has no intention of selling the copyright."

"This man is very energetic when it comes to Oscars, you see..."

When Qin Dong heard this, he asked expressionlessly:

"Then what? Does it matter?"

"The Weinstein Company, Harvey, I've heard, isn't this a poor man who can only collect low-budget films, or deceive foreign film producers, and get films at low prices? Such a person, Martin, you need

Do you care? Or do I need to care?"

Qin Dong really knew this person, but he had no good impression of such a person.

Harvey is indeed very powerful in Hollywood, but unfortunately he can only be powerful when it comes to Oscar awards.

His company is not big, it is an independent production company. It is not strong enough and can only make small-budget films. Although he has energy and has produced actors and directors, he actually does not have much capital.

He is also outspoken, has a very bad temper, and is lustful. All six major Hollywood companies have been scolded by this person.

If it weren't for this person's race, plus the fact that he was very good at pleasing the old Oscar judges, giving gifts every year with all kinds of tricks, and PR men in their 70s and 80s, the six major companies would have wanted him out long ago.

It is precisely this point that makes the six major companies hold their noses and endure it. Many actors and directors still value the Oscar.

Harvey also relied on this to win many Oscars, including Best Picture and so on. Many "Queens of Water" were produced by Harvey. It is commonly said that actresses with poor acting skills can win Oscars.

Best Actress Award.

However, it can also be seen that this fat guy is good at public relations with the old Oscar judges. However, Harvey is very proud of himself. He is so proud of it that he has actually ruined the reputation of the Oscars. Many people know this very well.

There is no principle of fairness in awards. Only fools believe it.

I heard that this person does a lot of red sofa operations.

And he often does forced things, not to mention forced, the key is that he often eats for free without paying, he is a very disgusting guy.

This person's company is not very strong, but he is very good at deceiving, especially foreigners.

I often go to foreign film festivals and discover good movies from other countries. I will brag about buying them and releasing them in North America, and do some PR and Oscar awards to keep the prices down.

Even if the price is low, the key point is that he likes to be indifferent and often breaks contracts. For example, a North American film company took notice of a film at a foreign film festival, and they offered 5 million US dollars to win the copyright. Harvey.

A poor man will say 8 million.

He was not a generous person, he just said this deliberately so as to crowd out other people from other companies, and then he refused to sign the contract. After the film festival was over, he said he didn't want it anymore. At this time, these foreign filmmakers were dumbfounded.

All other North American companies left, and in the end they had no choice but to sell it to Harvey at a low price of two to three million.

There are directors in China who have encountered this kind of thing several times and been tricked, so Qin Dong knows nothing about this scumbag.

As soon as I heard this name, my face immediately turned ugly and my words became rude.

....

Martin was stunned and understood.

This Chinese director doesn't look down on Harvey at all, and doesn't care about his relationship with the Oscars. This man may really have no intention of competing for Oscars. Although Martin doesn't care, most foreign artists and directors care about Oscars.

ah.

"I understand, as you said, Harvey is a poor man."

"He can only hang out with the old guys like Oscar and use some worthless antiques to fool these old guys."

"It's just awards. We don't need these to fool outsiders. Movies that make money are the truth."

"After I go back, I will ask the author of this novel to break the contract, and we will pay CAA the penalty for breaking the contract."

Qin Dong nodded indifferently:

"Very good, that's it, just break the contract. With Harvey's temperament as a poor guy, the royalties will not be much, and the break-up fee won't be much either. Just take it. I don't care about the break-up fee. It's not necessary.

Let CAA come out."

After thoroughly understanding Qin Dong's attitude towards the award, Martin left with satisfaction.

Mere awards are just for deceiving people and are for outsiders to see.

Anyone who really understands it understands it, but big Hollywood companies like them must adopt an attitude of taking Oscars seriously.

Didn’t you see that some of the best actor and actress Oscar winners could get 20 plus 20 in salary?

Yes, but few. On the contrary, most of the superstars who are not valued by the Oscars receive such top-level salaries.
