Chapter 821: In Beverly
January 20, Beverly Hills.
Beverly Hills is actually a city within a city, 6 square miles, not only the world's most exclusive shopping streets, many mansions of Hollywood movie stars, but also elected mayors, police stations, fire departments, schools, etc., very complete.
The Golden Globes will be held tomorrow night.
The mainland was represented by Zheng Quangang and Xu Fei, general managers of the China Film Co-production Company, and Lao Song on the Hong Kong side, as well as Li Yu, Xu Ligong, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi.
Zhou Yanfa wanted to accompany his wife for the New Year, but he still didn't participate.
In the hotel café, Xu Fei was biting on a small dessert and was painting for the children.
This has become a habit, and whenever you are in the field, you must paint, and the artist's craftsmanship has picked up a lot. At the moment, this picture is Xiaolong wearing Sun Dasheng's outfit, holding a golden hoop stick to beat Superman on the World Trade Tower.
Xiaohu was wearing a Tang monk's robe, and kept chanting: "Don't fight, don't fight anymore! You can't beat Superman like this!"
Twin Towers, exactly one on the first floor.
“......”
But Xu Fei scratched his head after painting, a little unlucky, and tore it off and started again.
Turned into the Empire State Building, playing King Kong.
"What about your children again? I don't see that you are still an old father who values love and righteousness. ”
A good-looking hand reached into the plate, picked up a small biscuit, and stuffed it into Gong Li's mouth.
"You know? Anyone who has been in contact with me for a long time will unconsciously produce a change. ”
"What?"
"Language habits, like the sentence you just said, did you know how to say it before?"
"Uh......"
Gong Li thought about it, she really wouldn't, so she shrugged: "The one who is close to ink is black." ”
She recently ran the promotion of "No Thieves in the World", and she was tired and tired, and coming to the United States is equivalent to resting. I slept all the way on the plane, I was in good spirits, and I was bored sitting opposite him, and suddenly I saw him pressing a newspaper in his hand.
"What's that?"
"Old Song showed me, he just left. ”
Gong Li took it out and took a look, it was a gossip newspaper in Hong Kong.
"Brother Cheng Long recently filmed the new film "Rush Hour 2" in the United States, in addition to his old partner Krystac, he also added the extremely popular Zhang Ziyi, Zunlong, Allen King and other stars......
It is rumored that Prince Long's ancestral name went to visit the class on the set, and fell in love with Zhang Ziyi at first sight. ”
Burst!
"Really?"
"Why don't you ask her?"
"Am I stupid?"
Gong Li shook her head and said, "It's really amazing, what do you think of it as a boss?"
"The company doesn't prohibit falling in love, it's my business. ”
"Don't care, Xiao Zhang is much stronger than me, and he is a ruthless character. She reminded tactfully.
"Heh, of course she's a ruthless character......"
Xu Fei smiled, have you ever seen a cow who had an affair with both father and son?
The international chapter first passed on to Prince Long, and later Cheng Long's birthday banquet, what kisses, feeding grapes, pouring wine, contributed a set of very famous photos.
Hong Kong tabloid reported: Cheng Long initially took care of his son's girlfriend as a Shibo, but in the end he couldn't control his feelings. Zhang Ziyi and the "Love Saint Shibo" get along day and night, and the father and son are in love with one person......
Of course, these two are lustful and have a good relationship.
"Mr. Xu! Sister Gong Li!"
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the international chapter stepped on high heels and came over: "Are you chatting here, what about Director Li Yu?"
"Upstairs, you're from the set?"
"Well, in Las Vegas. ”
She played a gangster in "Rush Hour 2", responsible for creating difficulties for Cheng Long, with gaudy makeup and funny clothes, which was completely unsuitable.
But Xu Fei didn't pick a show for her, as long as it wasn't too bad, she agreed.
This is different from Gong Li, Gong Li is obedient, and the international chapter is the time when ambitions are inflated, and they need to be sharpened.
Xu Fei looked at her happily, talking about the feelings of filming in the United States, the little flame was about to erupt, and said with a smile: "I heard that I am going to shoot in Hong Kong?"
"Well, I'm going to Hong Kong in March or April. ”
"I've heard that you're in love?"
"Oh, Mr. Xu, you ......"
The international chapter twisted and pinched, found the newspaper, looked at it a few times, and wanted to say goodbye: "Why do you write everything, it's really ......"
Belch!
The two of them shook in unison.
After chatting for a while, Gong Li and International Zhang got up and went upstairs. Mr. Xu continued to paint, and he had no intention of leaving.
............
About half an hour later, Jerry of the Cactus arrived.
He is a U.S. investor in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
"Congratulations, you've made another successful movie!"
"No kidding, I'm worried. ”
"Worried about what?"
"Bad news. ”
The chubby Jerry squeezed hard into the chair and said, "Cactus has been too successful in recent years, there is not a single loss-making movie, and two big companies have already approached me to discuss acquisitions."
They will go and investigate the financial composition of the cactus in order to divide the shareholders, which is their old method......"
"Then I found out that it was a nesting doll. ”
"What nesting dolls?"
Jerry was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You have indeed engaged in a lot of offshore companies as cover, but whether you find it or not, we will face difficulties."
Big factories will not suppress as blatantly as in the 80s, but they will take advantage of our disadvantages and make our profit margins smaller. ”
"For example?"
"For example, if we don't have distribution channels for audio-visual products, TV platforms, or overseas markets, they will set a low price on the distribution fee and force us to sell it. ”
Jerry's hair thinned a little, and he seemed really distressed: "I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that I should stick to three points."
To ensure the quality of the work, our cost is low, but the fault tolerance rate is also low.
Acquire an audio-visual distributor as soon as possible to broaden the channels.
Stick to Lionsgate, as well as other independent production companies. ”
"How much do you need for an acquisition?"
"A medium-sized publisher would cost at least $60 million. We can take out a loan, and if it goes well for the next two years, we can pay it back quickly. ”
“......”
Teacher Xu thought for a while and said, "Yes, go in this direction first, and I'll figure out other ways." ”
"This is the script we received, and I don't think it's a good work. ”
Xu Fei took a book of materials, more than a dozen scripts, and each script made a one-page introduction to the theme, outline, and the like.
I flipped through it and stopped at a certain page.
"Little Sunshine Beauty" by Michael Amter.
The six Hoover family members all have strange personalities, each with their own problems, but each one is not willing to take the time to listen to others......"
There is also a cactus's evaluation later: "It's too bland, there is no explosion, it talks about the trivial life of a family." ”
"Little Sunshine Beauty"!
Mr. Xu is happy, this film is the same as "Blair the Witch" and "Juno", which can be called the standard of entertainment.
After the script was written, it couldn't find any company to accept it, and it took five years to be refrigerated before it was bought for a low price of $250,000 and then filming started in '05.
8 million cost, 59 million box office, and more importantly, won the Oscar!
"Talk to this screenwriter, don't be in a hurry, try to keep the price down. ”
"But the story ......"
Xu Fei interrupted the other party, took out two outlines himself, and handed one over first: "This is a story about various racial discrimination caused by a car crash.
You find someone to perfect, but don't shoot, with "Little Sunshine Beauty", you have to wait. ”
"What are you waiting for?"
and other social winds. ”
"You're an American, you know better than I do. Every once in a while, a trend of thought emerges in society, some new and some old.
If the influence of the ideology is great, a large number of movies will emerge, which are often the favorites of the Oscars.
It's called political correctness. ”
“......”
Jerry was dumbfounded and sighed, "I sometimes really suspect that you are a magician, you know America better than many Americans." ”
Hey, where, where!
Teacher Xu is modest, and it is all due to the understanding of the king.
(And ...... )
