World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Los Angeles Airport.

"Okay, let's send it here."

In the parking lot, in a luxury car, Qin Dong looked at Taylor and his agent Martin, who had come to see him off in person:

"Martin, in negotiations with Universal, we must help Nikolay win the leading actor position."

"Don't worry, Qin, I'm very confident."

Martin nodded calmly.

Not only is Qin Dong concerned about this matter, Nicolas Cage, as an artist under CAA, Martin also hopes that Nicolas can rise again.

"Then I'll wait for your good news. By the way, if you have time, ask Warner if you want to see the finished film of [Gravity]. If you want to, come and see me in China."

Qin Dong's warning was enough, and Martin understood the difference.

In order to ensure that Qin Dong wins the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film next year as much as possible, Martin also has to ensure that Nicholas wins the leading actor role in "Jurassic Dinosaurs" so that the Coppola family can support Qin Dong's first Oscar.

Tours guaranteed.

"Wow, this is really good news. It's rare that you Qin can still remember it. I think Warner must be so moved that he wants to cry."

Martin shrugged upon hearing this, his expression was very exaggerated, and he looked very excited.

"Shet, Martin, I'm just too busy, I forgot a lot of things and can't remember them."

Qin Dong smiled and cursed after hearing this.

Martin's words were not true words, but ironic words, meant to make fun of him.

"I understand, and I guess Warner also understands it, so regarding your movie, like Warner, I have wisely chosen not to ask anything."

Martin smiled in agreement, but his words were still joking.

[Gravity] This movie was invested mainly by Qin Dong's company and Warner Bros., which took up most of the funds. The rest was divided between China Film, Undercover, and Bona.

The filming of this movie has been completed a long time ago, and the post-production period of the movie has been completed early. It is now planned to be released in two months, and it is also targeting the Oscars in March next year.

It is under such a situation that Martin, as Qin Dong's agent, and Warner, as the main investor and distributor of the movie, have not seen the movie until now. This is very strange and completely violates the rules of the industry.

It is impossible to say that no one inside Warner is complaining.

However, given that none of Qin Dong's movies have failed so far, and all of them have made profits based on box office alone, and the cooperation with Qin Dong in recent years has made Warner make a lot of money, Warner's executives have wisely suppressed internal miscellaneous things.

He also made a smart choice not to disturb Qin Dong and pretended not to know everything.

"Just don't ask. When my movies stop making money, I may think of doing things according to the rules in the industry. But for now, Martin, I am a person who is not restricted by the rules.

"

Qin Dong was very thick-skinned and didn't care about joking at all. Instead, he became arrogant and unashamed.

It's not that Qin Dong doesn't understand some things, he understands them, but he's too lazy to abide by them.

Every time he invests in his movies, and other people's investment shares are just because Qin Dong doesn't want to be alone, this is the share he gave up, so others must be grateful and not want to restrict Qin Dong.

Therefore, Qin Dong doesn't care about the popular rules in the industry or what other people think, because his movies are currently making money, and this alone is enough.

"Yeah... I understand, and I think Warner also understands, so they wisely chose to remain silent and did not take the initiative to ask. Qin, you are a genius. CAA and I agreed a few years ago."

Martin smiled and nodded, joking, but he actually agreed with Qin Dong's big words.

This is a genius. Geniuses have privileges. The rules in the circle are to restrict ordinary people, not geniuses.

Just like James Cameron, this director habitually delays and increases the cost of every movie he makes, which makes the producers hate it, but in the end they have to pay more to make the original reservation

Good shooting dates are postponed again and again. This is what these film and television companies do when facing truly world-class directors.

Everything is about money. As long as the director can make money and make a lot of money for the company, it is worth asking these film and television companies to endure and stay low and small.

"Okay, Martin, just send it here."

Qin Dong said and stretched out his hand, making a handshake gesture.

"OK, have a nice trip, Qin, I won't disturb you anymore."

Martin looked at Taylor, who had been sitting silently next to Qin Dong, winked at Qin Dong, and wisely chose to leave.

As an agent and the president of CAA, Martin really doesn't need to see Qin Dong off. It's just that the old man obviously knows more and more about Chinese customs, so he chooses to do something to make Qin Dong comfortable. This is the favor card.

Very sophisticated.

"Bang..."

Watched Martin get out of the car and closed the door.

"BABY, the post-production soundtrack of [Mad Max] will be left to you. You have time to gradually become familiar with this kind of work. There is a lot of time."

When there were no other people waiting in the car, Qin Dong turned his head and stroked Taylor's hair, giving instructions in a friendly tone.

"Well, I will learn from some masters in the circle. Honey, when will you come back?"

Taylor nodded obediently. Although she was a genius in music, movie soundtracks were an out-of-circuit act. She didn't understand it and had a lot to learn.

But these were all trivial matters to her. The woman's face was full of expressions of reluctance to say goodbye.

"It shouldn't take long. Let's see when Universal has confirmed the actors for [Jurassic Dinosaur]. Then it will be time for me to come back and audition the actors. After the audition, I will lead the team to shoot."

Qin Dong stroked the woman's delicate cheek, and the woman's expression made the man like it very much.

No matter how much love there is, if a woman is beautiful, has a good figure, is talented, and is a world-famous star, such a woman's expression of reluctance will always make men feel proud.

"Honey, I don't want you to leave..."

At this moment, Taylor doesn't look like a big star at all, and she definitely looks like a little woman.

Women, no matter what status or worth they have, they are still women in the final analysis.

The two were affectionate for another half an hour, until it was time to board the plane and they had to say goodbye.

...

September 16th.

"I'm back..."

At Kyoto Airport, Qin Dong returned home again after more than three months.

It has been five days since I finished editing the movie [Mad Max].

That day, Qin Dong had a good chat with two brothers, Zhou Shan and Cai Dachun, and told them some things again. The next day, these two brothers left Los Angeles with the actors to shoot the movie "Super Face Hacker".

Qin Dong stayed for a few more days, handled some chores, and stayed with Taylor before leaving Los Angeles and returning to Kyoto.

"Sisi, I'm back..."

"Mimi, I'm back..."

"Xianxian, I'm back..."
