Ambitious Hong Kong filmmakers want to enter the United States.

After all, North America is the world's No. 1 entertainment market, so Fu Wenhuai is a Hong Kong movie tycoon!

not only pushed Cheng Long to Hollywood, but also filmed many English-language films, among which "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" achieved a box office of $130 million in the United States, setting a new box office record for Hollywood independent films!

Of course, this record was later surpassed by The Lord of the Rings...

Want to enter North America?

Because the most lethal thing about Hong Kong films is that the local market is too small, and it is difficult for Hong Kong's 7 million people to support the huge film industry...

So, they're going north!

Relying on the huge market of the mainland to feed Hong Kong films...

But now, a huge opportunity is in front of us - to participate in the investment, production of "Moving Maze"...

I don't know where I got the news, saying that "Moving Maze" has surpassed "Harry Potter" in sales and will be the next big IP...

Indeed, "Moving Maze" has been on the market for two months and has sold more than one million, far exceeding "Harry Potter" at the same time...

As for "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms", Lao Yang has now forgotten which three kingdoms the Three Kingdoms are!

“... Boss Yang, I'll tell you the truth, "Moving Labyrinth" is just "Moving Labyrinth", which is different from "Harry Potter"..."

Even "Harry Potter" is losing money on the books...

Shen Mengxi didn't want to cheat Lao Yang, so he invested money, even if they could make money, they could make a loss!

There are three things in this world that cannot be believed: the conscience of the capitalist, the chastity of the prostitute, and the righteousness of the traitor.

And "Moving Maze" is not a super hit, the original time and space, the first part cost more than 40 million US dollars, and the global box office is 360 million...

Compared to "The Hunger Games", "Twilight" and the like, it is not enough to watch at all.

Yang Shoucheng waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I only need to share the account in Greater China, and I will participate in 15% at most..."

Shen Mengxi was stunned at first, 15 percent, that is also 6 million US dollars, is the box office in Greater China enough to pay off?

Then I thought that what people might care about is not the problem of returning to capital, but driving up the stock price and cutting leeks!

Really, it's so calculated!

"Then let me introduce the project leader to you, it just so happens that DreamWorks has been short of funds recently..."

Shen Mengxi doesn't care, he and DreamWorks are only in partnership, anyway, his account is clearly signed in black and white.

By the way, "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms"?

Shen Mengxi asked decisively: "What about "Three Kingdoms"..."

Yang Shoucheng didn't think about it: "You call the shots..."

“20%？”

"Yes!"

"Not involved in casting?"

“... You don't mean the White Soldiers..."

"Oh, she's okay, I'll arrange a female number three..."

Lao Yang glanced at Shen Mengxi and lowered his voice: "... The white soldiers are in Beijing..."

Shen Mengxi hurriedly said: "No, I am a fellow countryman with her..."

Nima, home delivery again?

These days, there is a lot of Hong Kong-style seafood...

......

Lao Yang left, and Liu Yifei came over again: "You are the author of "The Maze Runner"?"

"Yes... Don't say you're a book lover. ”

"I haven't read the book yet, I've just heard about it. ”

Shen Mengxi was surprised: "Where did you hear about it?"

"The best-selling list in North America... The book has been in the top five bestsellers, and then it came out that Spielberg had bought the rights to the adaptation and became a producer!"

Liu Yifei explained in detail.

Shen Mengxi nodded: "I said that there is not much news in China, you know, so that's the case." ”

"Can you tell me what Moving Labyrinth is about?"

"It's the story of a group of people trapped in the maze and killing around, and everyone died..."

Shen Mengxi was concise...

The main Liu Yifei was a little close to him, and the smell of perfume on his body made him unnatural...

Quickly change the subject: "When is your next play?"

Liu Yifei replied: "Martial Arts Liang Zhu"..."

"Liang Zhu, also martial arts?"

"Well, it's the work of director Ma Chucheng, do you know "Star Wish"?"

"I know, Zhang Baizhi acted. ”

"The director told me that "Martial Arts Liang Zhu" is a martial arts version of "Star Whispering Star Wish"..."

Shen Mengxi wanted to say something, but still smiled and blessed: "... Come on!"

What is the martial arts version of "Star Wish", isn't it "Sword Butterfly", Lao Hu plays the villain.

This play is a work invested by Huayi Brothers, Liu Yifei and Huayi Brothers immediately became enemies, how could you play the heroine?

“... When are you going back to Beijing?"

"Tomorrow. ”

"So fast?"

""People in Embarrassment" is about to be released in a week, and I have to go back and run a few interviews!"

It's not embarrassing to change Liu this time, "People are in an embarrassing way", isn't it the drama that invited her to make a cameo appearance and was then rejected...

......

The whole banquet lasted to the extreme, Shen Mengxi didn't know, anyway, he got the investment in "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" and immediately returned to the hotel.

Except for Liu Yifei and Lao Yang, I didn't communicate with anyone...

When he came out, no one stopped him, after all, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Shen Mengxi was just an insignificant mainlander!

When I returned to the hotel, I immediately called Zhao Jinsong and asked him to prepare the project "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms"...

Emperor, Shanghai Film, Yingyi Entertainment, and Mengxi Studio, each of the four invested 20%, and the remaining 20% of the investment amount was reserved for the TV drama production center - this TV series will definitely be on CCTV!

As for Yingyi Entertainment, Yu Weiguo has long since changed his tune, no longer talking about Andy Lau's value, and honestly investing 20% - he can see that Shen Mengxi is not so superstitious about Hong Kong stars.

"By the way, find a few websites to break the news that "Moving Labyrinth" was adapted by DreamWorks, and I must add that I am also the screenwriter of "People in Embarrassment"..."

"Moving Maze?"

"It's a new book I wrote, and the Chinese version will be available next month..."

Zhao Jinsong immediately asked: "Boss, do you give more information, when did you write it?" how much adaptation money did DreamWorks spend, who is the director, who is the starring role..."

Shen Mengxi replied honestly: "The film and television adaptation fee of 5 million US dollars, I don't know the director and starring..."

"That's not going to work, you've got to provide some shocking content!"

“... Does Spielberg count as a producer?"

"He..."Zhao Jinsong lowered his voice: "Spielberg has recently made some improper remarks..."

"Huh?"

Is there such a thing?

"Some time ago, he resigned as an art advisor to the Beijing Olympics, citing dissatisfaction with certain policies in China, and also called on everyone to boycott the Beijing Olympics..."

"Damn, the old man is very idle, why don't you care about human rights in the United States when you are so free? I can't breathe!"

Shen Mengxi was speechless, why did this kind of thing break out at such a time, so it is unreliable to say that Lao Mei is really a chicken.

“... So what now?"

"Let's change the family, I'll let David contact Warner Bros., they didn't beep, right?"

"Nope..."

"Okay, I'll contact David right away and ask him to talk to Warner Bros., it's all done with DreamWorks, and this kind of thing is coming at this time!"

Looking at the time, Shen Mengxi called David.

David quit his job at DreamWorks and is now in charge of Shen Mengxi's business in the United States, specifically, selling books and copyrights...

"Knock... Can I come in?"

Shen Mengxi just dialed the phone, and someone knocked on the door...
