Chapter 594: Internal Meeting (4000+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
In the newly changed room, Wu Jianye looked at Zhao Fei and Chen Kaige who were sitting on both sides with frowns and frowns, the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, and they looked very happy.
Zhao Fei was rummaging through his camera, found that the film in the camera was gone, and raised his head to look at Wu Jianye.
"Where's the film?"
Tan Yang sat on the other side with a smile and looked at the two of them.
"Where's your pants?" Wu Jianye asked rhetorically.
Zhao Fei's face turned red when he heard this, "You know everything?"
Wu Jianye: "Not only did I know, but I also left some memorials!"
Zhao Fei and Chen Kaige stared at Wu Jianye tightly, and finally Chen Kaige made a final struggle: "Is it possible to eliminate it?"
Wu Jianye couldn't help but smile and looked at him: "What do you say?"
"Alas, I'd better go home, at this time, I suddenly feel that Hong Huang is very good!" Chen Kaige understood Wu Jianye's character, this kind of fun thing, since he had decided to stay, he had no chance to come back.
At this time, he suddenly felt a little exhausted, and Hong Huang's side turned out to be his safe haven.
Patting his ass and standing up, Chen Kaige continued: "I'm going back, I want to be calm and calm during this time!"
Zhao Fei muttered, "It's a wake-up bar!"
"You're embarrassed to say me, it wasn't you who pulled me to drink yesterday, if not, can Lao Wu take pictures over there?" Chen Kaige suddenly shouted angrily at Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei was also not to be outdone, stood up, and scolded: "It's right that I proposed to drink, that's right, who told me that the little girls in the bar here are very open, if you don't have to fool me into asking Lao Wu to take us to the bar, there can be this thing." ”
"Hmph, flies don't bite seamless eggs, if you don't think so, you can bring it up. ”
The two of them became more and more noisy, and in the end, there was a tendency to do something if they disagreed, which made Tan Yang, who was watching the play on the sidelines, a little unexpected, and hurriedly wanted to persuade the two.
However, he was stopped by Wu Jianye, and looked at the two of them playfully: "Act, play again, forget what we do!"
Zhao Fei and Chen Kaige's expressions froze, and they immediately showed flattering expressions: "You see it?"
"Nonsense, with your two acting skills, who else do you want to deceive!?" Wu Jianye teased.
"Alas......." Chen Kaige really sighed this time, waved his hand, and said, "This time it's really gone." ”
After speaking, he left the room directly, leaving Zhao Fei alone.
Zhao Fei wanted to continue grinding Wu Jianye, wanted to return the film, and even bluntly said that it was only for himself, what about Chen Kaige.......
But in the end, Zhao Fei was only in vain, and in the end, he was left to look up to the sky and sigh.
In the following days, Wu Jianye stayed in the hotel and waited for the script of "Speed of Life and Death" to be handed over from China, and when the script arrived, Linda's phone also called, and the behind-the-scenes team of "Human and Ghost Love" was also formed.
Wu Jianye took Zhao Fei to the hotel, and at the same time notified Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock to come over to sign the contract, the script of "Speed of Life and Death" has just arrived in Los Angeles, and as of now, the two leading actors have just been determined, as for the behind-the-scenes and other actors need to be recruited, but Wu Jianye will hand over these things to Linda to deal with.
These things are no longer difficult for her.
"This is your script, study it well when you go back!" Wu Jianye handed the script of "Speed of Life and Death" to Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
The two have now signed a contract with Phantom Entertainment accompanied by their agents, and the script of "Speed of Life and Death" has also been registered, so there is no need to worry about them leaking the script.
The two happily took the script and said that they would definitely study it well when they went back, and at the same time, Sandra Bullock did not shy away from telling Wu Jianye that he would go to the hotel to find him at night.
After they left, Linda asked curiously, "You broke up with Isabel!"
Wu Jianye pouted and said, "We weren't together in the first place!"
"Cut!" Linda pouted, then asked curiously, "How high do you expect this movie to be at the box office?"
All the movies written by Wu Jianye were sold well, and at the same time, Wu Jianye's estimate of the box office also surprised Linda Market, because Wu Jianye's estimate was generally very accurate.
Wu Jianye recalled for a moment and said: "The North American box office is over 100 million, and the global box office will probably reach about 300 million!"
Linda's eyes widened, and she looked at Wu Jianye exaggeratedly: "Are you kidding, a movie with an investment of more than 20 million US dollars, you said that the global box office can exceed 300 million!"
Now that Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have not become famous, the salary naturally cannot be compared with 93 years in another time and space, so in terms of salary, it has helped Phantom Entertainment save a lot.
"As long as the director you're looking for isn't too fucked, the box office of this film shouldn't be a problem!" Wu Jianye's expression was still calm.
Linda looked at Wu Jianye's appearance and really wanted to knock his head open to see what was inside, but then she suddenly shouted.
"Oh no, if you really want to think about it, then Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are really famous, we should sign a few more movie contracts with them!" After saying that, Linda didn't care about Wu Jianye, and directly picked up the phone on the table to call Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock respectively.
After the two received Linda's call, they were also slightly stunned, they didn't expect Linda to want to sign a few more drama contracts with themselves, but they have to think about this, although they are still just newcomers, but the sensitivity they should have will still be there, Linda wants to sign a few more drama contracts with them, so it means that Phantom Entertainment itself is also very optimistic about this movie.
At this time, they thought of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor signed a contract with Phantom Entertainment when he starred in Phantom Entertainment's movies, and then look at Arnold Schwarzenegger's influence in North America now, they almost didn't meet, so they decided at the same time, wait for this drama to be released!
If this movie is really popular at that time, then they won't just get paid now!
Linda put down the phone with some disappointment and looked at Wu Jianye complainingly: "You said it earlier, I said it earlier, and I would have added this condition to the previous contract!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Don't worry, if you have a good script, are you still afraid that there will be no good actors?"
Linda sighed and said, "I hope so!"
The two didn't communicate too much, at this time, the crew of "Ghost Love" had already focused on Phantom Entertainment, and Wu Jianye was going to go over to communicate with them.
When he walked into the conference room, Wu Jianye saw many scenes in front of and behind the scenes of the crew, the four leading actors, Mel Gibson, Isabel Adjani, Tony Godwin, Whoopi Goldberg, Zhao Fei, Tan Yang and others were also there, as well as David Fincher, the assistant director of this movie!
The addition of David Fincher made Wu Jianye very shocked when he first learned the news, although David Fincher at this time has not yet become famous in the director's circle, and has not even directed any movie, but he is also a famous figure in the Hollywood circle.
In the 80s, David Fincher joined ILM and participated in the production of the action sci-fi film "Star Wars Six: The Jedi Strikes Back".
In 1983, he participated in the visual effects of the action sci-fi movie "Star Wars 6".
In 1985, he got the opportunity to direct the documentary "Beating the Drum of Life".
In 1987, he founded Propaganda Films with three director partners.
This is some of David Fincher's experiences since joining Hollywood, as for why he was able to join the movie "Ghost Love" as an assistant director, it is actually because of Linda's investment in Propaganda Films.
And David Fincher is also a director that Linda is very optimistic about, thinking that he can achieve some achievements in the future.
Although David Fincher's future achievements are indeed very high, such as "The Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club", "Zodiac", "Rejuvenation", "The Social Network", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and other movies, and later went to make the popular "House of Cards" all over the world.
But these movies are not the same type as "Ghost Love", Wu Jianye didn't want to use him as the assistant director of this movie at first, in Wu Jianye's heart, he preferred to find an assistant director suitable for the romance film genre to help him complete the shooting, but then after thinking about it, he didn't find a suitable assistant director, so he left David Fincher.
The rest is the rest of the crew.
After everyone saw Wu Jianye, they also stopped talking to each other, and they all focused on Wu Jianye's body.
Except for Zhao Fei and Tan Yang, the people here are all cooperating with Wu Jianye for the first time, although some people have already believed in Wu Jianye's ability, but more people still have a certain degree of doubt about Wu Jianye's ability.
Is it okay for a Chinese director to direct a mainstream Hollywood romance movie, which has put a question mark in many people's hearts?
And Wu Jianye didn't deliberately want to say some big things here, or chicken soup for the soul or anything like that, he understood that most of the people here were skeptical of themselves.
It is difficult to dispel doubts with words, Wu Jianye always believes that only if you do it and achieve results, can you truly dispel everyone's doubts.
So Wu Jianye said straight to the point: "Everyone has already read the script, I will announce everyone's task now, David, you and Zhao Fei and others will go to New York to find a shooting location first." ”
"And you actors, during this time, I need you to come to Phantom Entertainment every day to familiarize yourself with the relationship between you, and at the same time, you must rehearse in advance, and strive to make the filming more smooth, I don't like unplanned things during filming, so you'd better be able to meet my requirements, everyone is, if I find out that you can't complete the requirements in my heart during the filming, then even if you sign a contract with Phantom Entertainment, you will be kicked out by me!"
Actors who signed a contract in Hollywood, but were flown out, this kind of thing is by no means a minority, Wu Jianye's words made Tony Godwin a little nervous, and on the other hand, Mel Gibson, Isabel Adjani, and Whoopi Goldberg were not so nervous, all three of them were in the field of acting, and they had watched the script of this movie repeatedly, and they were still very confident in themselves.
Then Wu Jianye explained their tasks to everyone, and when everything was over, Wu Jianye took them to prepare a press conference for a while!
A large part of the preliminary preparations for "Ghost Love" have been completed, and now the actors and behind-the-scenes lineup have also been prepared, so it is natural to make an appearance in Hollywood!
As far as Phantom Entertainment is concerned, the publicity work of "Human and Ghost Love" has also officially begun, and for this reason, Phantom Entertainment specially set up a publicity team for "Human and Ghost Love".
Specially responsible for the publicity of "People and Ghosts" from beginning to end!
The cost of all this has been calculated in the cost of the film.
At this time, the staff of Phantom Entertainment had also come over to inform Wu Jianye that the scene of the press conference had been arranged, and reporters from all walks of life had arrived at the scene.
After Wu Jianye listened, he took the entire crew and walked towards the press conference.
In the crew, some people have flat expressions, such as Mel Gibson, Isabel Adjani, Whoopi Goldberg and others, they have all been in the entertainment industry for several years, and they are naturally familiar with such a situation, and there is nothing to worry about.
As for the people behind the scenes, there is actually no change in their expressions, usually in this case, they are actually a set board, and there will be no reporters asking them questions, and even in other movies, they don't need to appear in such situations.
Nervous is Tony Godwin, Zhao Fei and Tan Yang and others, Tony Godwin is the first time to participate in such a large-scale press conference, and Zhao Fei and others are even if they have followed Wu Jianye for many years, but it is also the first time in Hollywood, when he was in school, Zhao Fei received an education of European and American films, and he had participated in European film festivals before, but now Hollywood is the world's largest film and television base, how can they not be nervous.
At this time, when they saw Wu Jianye in front of him, Zhao Fei couldn't help but sigh, he didn't seem to have seen Wu Jianye nervous, even at the award ceremonies of the three major European film festivals, Wu Jianye was always so relaxed.
It seems that no matter what happens, Wu Jianye has a feeling that he is in control.
Just when everyone had their own ideas, they had already come to the scene of the press conference, although the mainstream opinion in Hollywood was not optimistic about Wu Jianye's first movie in Hollywood, but this does not mean that there are fewer people at the scene.
On the contrary, there are more people than ordinary movie conferences.
This is not only due to Phantom Entertainment, after all, Phantom Entertainment is now one of the largest studios in Hollywood, and it is naturally impossible to have fewer people at the new film press conference, and at the same time, Wu Jianye's popularity in Hollywood is also very high.......
