World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Dear Qin, can you accept an interview?"

After Qin Dong walked Jennifer through the red carpet and left his name on the signature wall, the red carpet host was smiling and waiting to ask questions.

"no problem."

Qin Dong smiled and nodded.

"Qin, congratulations in advance on your movie's box office success."

The host first congratulated and then glanced at Jennifer:

"I wonder if you can tell me about your relationship with this Miss Jennifer Lawrence next to you?"

"friend."

Qin Dong's smile remained unchanged, and he could be summed up in two words.

"Miss Lawrence, are you and Qin just friends?"

The host asked about Jennifer maliciously.

Qin Dong's answer was too cunning, so he decided to focus on Jennifer.

This is not because the host wants to find trouble. After all, it was arranged by CAA. It’s just that foreigners’ views on the scandal are very indifferent and they like to hear about it.

Didn't you see that there are no big stars from all walks of life here who are not involved in scandals? People here don't care about these, and there is still news about them. This is a good thing.

Otherwise, many so-called celebrities and so on, how can they become famous, all because of scandals.

"Yeah, we are friends, good friends. I like Qin's movies very much and admire his talent. Not only is he talented and a genius, he is also very handsome."

Jennifer Lawrence looked at Qin Dong, her big eyes showed admiration and even love, and she was full of praise.

"Wow, haven't you ever thought about taking your relationship to Qin further?"

The host made a booing sound and continued to ask questions.

"Of course I think it would be a woman's happiness to have such a boyfriend. It's a pity that Qin doesn't like me."

Jennifer deliberately felt aggrieved.

"Wow, this is such a tragedy. Qin, as a man, do you just watch a lady take the initiative like this? Where is the gentlemanly demeanor?"

The host kept asking questions about the relationship between men and women.

"So I prepared a series of movies for Jennifer, based on the North American best-selling book [The Hunger Games]. This gentlemanly demeanor is enough."

Qin Dong's smile did not change and he took advantage of the situation to play the advertisement.

"Oh, Qin, you broke the rules. Although this is your movie premiere, you openly advertised other movies."

The host said it deliberately on the surface, but in fact it was all a process.

"Okay, my bad, then bye."

Qin Dong immediately took Jennifer away.

As for Jennifer's performance just now, whether it was a show of true feelings or a show, Qin Dong didn't care at all.

If you want to be his girlfriend, you can only say that you think too much, woman.

...

"Qin, the presidents of several giant companies are here, go say hello."

As soon as Qin Dong took Jennifer into the Grand Theater, Martin came over and whispered.

"Oh, that's okay too."

Martin must be talking about several other CEOs who have a good relationship with Qin Dong. They come to support them, so they should take the initiative to say hello.

In a corner of the theater, several old men were talking together. When they saw Martin and Qin Dong, they immediately stopped talking and smiled.

"Haha, Qin, I wish your movie a big hit at the box office."

"Although I haven't seen it, I think the movie must be good."

"Barry, you definitely know this."

Before Qin Dong could speak, these old men smiled and spoke.

Both are acquaintances of Qin Dong. Warner President Barry Meyer, who has collaborated on many films, and Paramount President Brad Gray, who crossed paths because of Mission: Impossible, won the filming rights to the old version of the movie "Jurassic Dinosaurs"

Global President Adam Ferguson.

"You three, welcome, thank you, I hope the movie box office will be as you said."

Qin Dong smiled and extended his hands to shake hands one by one, then said a polite word.

"Qin, haven't we reached a cooperation? How can you make other movies in your new movie?"

After a few people laughed and said a few words, Adam Ferguson changed the topic and asked.

"Oh, Adam, blame me. This matter has been decided a long time ago. It can only be said that the agreement we reached is a step too late. However, my shooting speed is very fast. The new movie will be completed in three months at most. It is now mid-June and the end of September.

I will definitely shoot [Jurassic Dinosaurs] beforehand, it will only be a few months, so please be patient."

Qin Dong knew what Adam was asking and took out the draft without blinking an eye.

Martin laughed to himself when he saw Qin Dong opening his eyes and telling lies.

This guy really lied and didn't bring a draft. He had obviously planned to shoot "Jurassic Dinosaurs" later. The reason was why he told Martin.

It's just that the contract he signed has requirements, and the box office requirement is that the box office must reach 1.3 billion before he can get a high box office share. Qin Dong has already decided to try his best to delay the release time of this dinosaur movie, and then delay it.

"Three months, so it's really not a rush. Although it's not the first time I've heard about your shooting speed, it still sounds incredible. After all, it's a blockbuster. This speed is comparable to small-budget films."

When Adam Ferguson heard this, he felt comfortable and praised again.

"Just get used to it."

Qin Dong didn't take it seriously.

"Qin, has the special effects company decided in advance to prepare the relevant dinosaur special effects?"

Adam thought of something again and asked.

"I have already decided on this matter, don't worry."

Qin Dong nodded, special effects are an important component of this kind of blockbuster.

What's more, the protagonist of the movie, the dinosaur, requires special effects from beginning to end. Most of the cost of this movie was spent on special effects, which are indispensable.

"Has it been decided? Which special effects company? Industrial Light & Magic? Weta?"

Adam was stunned. He was the producer, the cost financier of this movie that had not yet been shot, and he didn't even know.

"NO, Daqin Special Effects Company."

Qin shook his head and said a name that was unfamiliar to everyone present.

"Da Qin? Your company?"

Although they had never heard of it, several people present were familiar with Qin Dong and knew all the information about this Chinese director. They immediately thought of something based on the name.

"yeah."

Qin Dong knew what several people were thinking, but he was still certain that it was indeed his company.

"..."

The three bosses looked at each other with surprised and uncertain expressions.

It’s not their fault. After all, they really don’t trust the special effects companies in China. This is reality.

Speaking of global special effects companies, most of the top ones are in Hollywood.

Even some big directors in China often come here to pay for special effects when they need them. At this moment, Qin Dong actually said that his own company would do the special effects for future dinosaur movies.

"Oh, my God, Qin, I don't know how to say it. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just..."

Barry Meyer and Brad Gray could still keep their composure, even if their expressions were a little strange. However, as the copyright holder and investor of the dinosaur movie, Adam Ferguson couldn't help it.

"Adam..."

Before Qin Dong could finish speaking, he reached out to interrupt the other party and said with a serious expression:

"I'm not going to risk my directing career, I know what you're going to say."

"Don't worry, it's still early and the movie hasn't been shot yet. Around the end of the year, I have a movie to be released with a special effects cost of nearly 200 million U.S. dollars, which was also made by my special effects company. When the time comes, I invite you to come to the cinema to watch it. Then you can

You’ll know how effective the special effects are.”

"What's more, the dinosaur movie hasn't been filmed yet. After filming, we have to do special effects, which takes a lot of time. If you feel dissatisfied with the special effects after the final product is released, then I am willing to spend money to let you find a new special effects company to do it again for free, so there is no delay.

I also compensate for the time lost, is that enough?”

Qin Dong, who had to say something harsh at this moment, made a promise.

He understands and understands that not only Adam, but probably everyone else thinks the same way.

Nowadays, they see Chinese special effects just like Hollywood sees Chinese movies. They are not worth mentioning. It is not an exaggeration to say that they look down from above.

Huaxia Special Effects Company all receives scraps from Hollywood special effects companies. They are OEMs. They are the simplest, most tedious, tiring, and least technologically demanding scraps. This is the reality.

And this reality was also brought about by people in the Chinese entertainment industry, because the Chinese special effects company is actually not that bad, but local entertainment companies don't give it a chance.

I would rather spend a lot of money to find a foreign special effects company than give a local special effects company a chance. What can I say?

"Adam, I know that my client is a very professional and trustworthy person. You have to believe his words, so rest assured. I will guarantee him. If the special effects are not good, you can find a new special effects company.

.”

Although Martin didn't know about this, he was shocked when he heard this. In his impression, the special effects companies in China seemed not to be good.

However, as Qin Dong's agent, Martin took on the posture of the president of CAA and blatantly stood up to Qin Dong.

"Adam, I also believe in Qin. He won't lie. Besides, he has given you a guarantee. You will lose up to half a year."

Barry Meyer, the president of Warner Bros. who had cooperated the most with Qin Dong, thought about it for a while and started to persuade him.

In fact, he was also worried because the movie that Qin Dong mentioned cost as much as 200 million U.S. dollars in special effects. It didn't take much to figure out that it was shot a few months ago, and that movie had some funding from Warner.

It's a pity that even though he and the people in his company know that Qin Dong has finished filming, they haven't seen any footage yet.

Now that he heard from Qin Dong that the special effects were made by his own company, he was immediately frightened, but he could only pinch his nose and pretend he didn't know.

Let’s wait until a few months later to watch the film. It’s too late to say anything at this time.

The expression and character of the Chinese man in front of me did not look like someone who could be easily persuaded.

"Although I don't have much contact with Qin, as a great Chinese director and a future international super director, I don't think Qin will ruin his reputation."

Everyone can say nice things, so why not be a good guy and do some favors? Seeing that Martin and Barry had said this, Brad, the president of Paramount who had collaborated once, also spoke up.

"Oh, oh, you all said so. Of course I have to believe Qin. Although I am still very worried, but as you said, I don't believe that Qin will destroy his reputation. I will have to wait and see later.

Already."

Adam Ferguson smiled helplessly and said, and the matter was revealed.

There is still time, so we have to look at it slowly, and we have to let this Chinese person sign a new contract later, otherwise what will happen if he defaults on the debt?

Adam was scheming secretly in his mind.

"Thanks."

Qin Dong opened his mouth to thank him.

I have to thank him because this was his own private choice.

[Jurassic Dinosaur] This movie is not his copyright, the copyright belongs to Universal.

Qin Dong just signed a filming contract with others, and he was the screenwriter and director. The box office reached US$1.3 billion and he could get a high share of the profits, but that was all.

The investor is Universal, others provide the money, and the producers and distributors are also Universal.

As the only six major companies in Hollywood, Universal is not a good person.

As a director and screenwriter, Qin Mo actually appointed a special effects company privately so that the funders would not know anything about it. This is really unreasonable.

Normally, these are the matters of investors and producers, and are within their scope of power. Qin Dong was offside.
