World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Martin took Qin Dong around the banquet hall and introduced Qin Dong to some gold medal screenwriters and gold medal producers in the industry who were present.

"Qin, when we come down there, I will introduce you to the presidents of other giant film and television companies. Now let Jennifer and her manager Martha take you to get acquainted with the artists in the industry."

After the lap, Martin said something before leaving and gave Jennifer Lawrence a look.

Martin doesn't expect Jennifer to be Qin Dong's girlfriend, he has no such idea at all.

It's just that Jennifer is an artist under his banner. As long as this woman can benefit from Qin Dong, then CAA will naturally make a profit, which is enough.

Compared to Paris, who is an outsider, Martin certainly has to create opportunities for his own artists.

Hollywood is a perfect ecosystem. Top artists, top screenwriters, and top producers can all receive high salaries and even box office dividends.

This kind of box office dividend is not only the product of superstars, but can also be obtained by gold medal screenwriters, gold medal producers, and super directors.

For a person of this caliber, Martin would have to personally take Qin Dong to introduce him.

As for other first-line artists, directors, screenwriters, etc. below the big directors, Martin will not come forward in person, which is too cheap.

"President, I know most of the people in the meeting today, and I can do it."

Jennifer Lawrence received the hint from Martin's eyes and immediately stood up to reassure her, taking the opportunity to hold Qin Dong's other arm.

"Bichi."

"Bitch."

Paris Hilton, who had been holding Qin Dong's arm tightly since entering the venue and never let go for a moment, heard this and immediately looked at Jennifer Lawrence through Qin Dong.

The eyes of the two women were filled with fire, and each of them secretly cursed the other.

"I'll be there later, Martin."

Qin Dong noticed the undercurrent between the two women on the left and right, but remained indifferent. He just said something to Martin and then walked around.

The two women holding his arms also actively followed the man's footsteps.

"Hani, this is..."

"This is..."

Jennifer Lawrence lived up to her word.

She really knew most of the people present, and for every artist who was introduced, Jennifer could name each other's masterpieces.

I wonder if her agent Martha told her in advance.

"Haney, this is your compatriot. He is also a director and screenwriter. His name is..."

"I know what his name is."

When Jennifer followed Qin Dong's footsteps and walked up to a middle-aged man with the same skin color as Qin Dong, and was about to introduce him, she was interrupted by Qin Dong.

"BOSS..."

This middle-aged man with the same skin as Qin Dong was bending slightly to greet Qin Dong.

"James Wan, this is the first time we have met."

Qin Dong looked at the short man in front of him. This man with the same skin color as him was a Chinese.

It's a pity that the other party can't even speak Chinese.

However, Qin Dong still has a sense of intimacy. Compared to the white and black foreigners, the Chinese man in front of him, James Wan, is more pleasing to the eye.

"Yes, BOSS, this is our first meeting. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to join Heishui Longqi Company. It also freed me from the oppression of some people, so that I can be worry-free from now on.

I only focus on making movies, thanks to BOSS..."

There was gratitude and excitement on Wen Ziren's face, he spoke for a while, and finally bowed to Qin Dong.

"Wow, bow, this is the habit of islanders and stick people. You are Chinese, James Wan. Although you can't speak Chinese anymore, and you were not born and raised in China, your blood flows with our Yanhuang

With your blood, there is no need to do these actions, not to mention that we Chinese people have to stand upright wherever we go and will be bullied by others, let alone you are a talented director, even if you are not,

If I find out, I won't stand idly by, not to mention that damn fat man, I've wanted to deal with him for a long time..."

Qin Dong reached out to pull Wen Ziren up, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

Show your toughness by the way.

.......

Among the outstanding directors in the Hollywood directing world today, there are two Chinese-American directors, one is James Wan in front of me, and the other is Lin Yibin who is good at shooting car movies.

Lin Yibin and Qin Dong still don't care. Even ten years later, the focus of this director's resume will still be "Fast and Furious", the world's most famous drag racing series.

This director may have great talent in directing. When the third installment of "The Fast and the Furious" was filmed, its reputation was completely ruined. It was this director who made the fourth, fifth and sixth installments and brought this racing movie back to life. In the future, there will be a third installment.

Ten parts.

But in Qin Dong's view, that's all this director did.

On the contrary, the short Wen Ziren in front of him is a treasure.

.......

In 2004, this little man shot his first movie "Saw", which became a hit at the box office and was called the dark horse horror film of the year.

The next year, filming of the sequel "Saw 2" began. This time James Wan was no longer just a director, he was also a screenwriter and producer. Especially in terms of screenwriting, this person showed his talent.

What he is good at is horror movies.

Perhaps outsiders think that horror films are difficult to release globally and are not as profitable as commercial blockbusters.

But commercial blockbusters are indeed the most profitable, but they are also the most risky. High investment and high returns come with high risks.

Many commercial blockbusters hit the market, and the producers lost their pants.

It is difficult for horror movies to be released globally, but the cost of horror movies is also very low, ranging from a million US dollars to a maximum of 30 to 40 million US dollars. Low cost, low return, and accompanied by low risk.

If you spend millions of dollars on a horror movie, even if it hits the street a few times, it will only cost you two or thirty million at most. But as long as it hits the market once, you will make money back. If it hits the market twice, you will make a lot of money.

This kind of probability, placed on James Wan, is definitely a worthwhile reward.

James Wan is simply a director and screenwriter born for horror movies.

Qin Dong, who knew the future, had high hopes for James Wan in front of him. This little man could be said to be a super director in the global horror film field.

After seeing the superhero movie universe created by Marvel, James Wan in the future came up with the idea of ​​creating a horror universe of horror movies. This person had an idea and did the same in the future. His horror movie universe also received huge rewards.

.

.......

"BOSS, no matter what, I sincerely thank you for making me feel so relaxed for the first time in these years. We Chinese have suffered too much rejection and bullying in Hollywood."

After Wen Ziren was helped up by Qin Dong, his eyes turned red and he thanked him again.

"Everything is over. Have you got the copyright of [Latent] back? I've been busy these days and haven't paid attention to this matter..."

Qin Dong knew why the other party was like this.

It is said that a man does not talk about tears easily because he has not yet shed tears.

Now that the time has come, then it’s not a sin for a man to cry.

Qin Dong entered the film industry in 2009. He only focused on global commercial blockbusters and profitable movies after 2010, so he registered all those scripts in advance.

Most of James Wan's horror films are low-budget and released in North America. Qin Dong remembers the world-famous series of horror films [Saw]. Unfortunately, the first film in this series was filmed by James Wan in 2004.

, naturally I stopped thinking about it.

When Qin Dong's film career became more and more successful, he had too many things to do and was so busy that he forgot about it.

Until last year, when Qin Dong had a conflict with Harvey, the fat guy from the Weinstein Company...

At this time, Qin Dong wanted to deal with this fat guy, and asked CAA to start a relationship and spend money to collect dirty information about this fat guy. In these materials, Qin Dong saw Wen Ziren and recalled this talented horror film master.

I also saw it recorded in the information, at the Golden Globe Awards dinner in early 2012...

James Wan was threatened by Harvey and was even locked in a hotel room, refused to come out, and had his phone confiscated.

Why? Because James Wan is good at horror movies, and the cost of each horror movie is still very low, and the return rate is super high.

James Wan, who has been writing "Latent" for 12 years, was seeking investment, but Harvey saw the future of this script and wanted to make it his own.

But the conditions were too harsh and the price was too low. Wen Ziren wanted to refuse. Unfortunately, because of Harvey's status, Qin Dong could not give up, and even slapped this fat guy.

Qin Dong dares to do these things, but Wen Ziren cannot. Not only does he not have the ability, he is also very afraid of Harvey. Horror films are on the same level as literary films, and they fall within the scope of independent production companies like Harvey. He wants to refuse, but doesn't care.

Harvey directly and arbitrarily asked the bodyguards to lock James Wan in the hotel and confiscate his mobile phone. Even if someone saw it, no one dared to care about it.

This is the reality for outsiders in Hollywood...
