Bai Tian's filmmaking is finally back on track.

As for that director of photography......

Zhang Hong heard that he took his assistant to shoot the wedding.

Anyway, Zhang Hong didn't see him in the crew the next day.

After staying in the crew for a few more days, Zhang Hong took Lin Muqing to the headquarters of Columbia Pictures.

10202 West Washington Boulevard, California, is the address of Columbia Pictures.

Mr. Donald had already sent someone to pick them up at the airport.

And he himself was waiting silently at the door of the company, like a chick waiting to be fed while the old bird was waiting to be fed.

As soon as Zhang Hong got out of the car, he hurried to meet him.

It is no different from Liu Bei seeing Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao meeting Guan Yu, and Qiu Yue Xiaosan seeing Ellie.

"Zhang, you're finally here!"

Old Tang held Zhang Hong's hand and didn't want to let go.

However, Zhang Hong seemed to be lacking in interest.

If you put it in entertainment, people like him can't be the protagonist.

His essential goals are less noble.

What is it to become an internationally renowned director, an international master, or something...... He didn't care.

He just wants to make money.

The top three film festivals in Europe?

Oscar?

Who care.

Anyway, Zhang Hong doesn't care.

Entering the reception room, there was still only Donald with a few of his assistants, and Zhang Hong here with Lin Muqing.

Other top executives at Columbia Pictures did not show up.

I don't know if I want to pinch it or if I want to pretend that I don't care.

It's a pity that there is a "traitor" among them, and Donald, the old brother, has already handed over all the foundations.

Zhang Hong is now very clear in his heart, Colombia is strong in the middle, and this will be acquired immediately.

And these white skins are not good people, if you die, others will not pull you, they will only compete for an extra piece of your flesh when they share your flesh.

If it weren't for the desperation, would this Hollywood film company go to China to find someone?

Laughing to death.

Zhang Hong understood in his heart, and chuckled: "Your company doesn't seem to welcome me?"

"No, Zhang, don't think about it, the other directors just have their own things to do. I know a couple of Michelin-starred restaurants that are very good, one of which is Japanese and French, and we happen to have reservations in Colombia. ”

Donald began to look at him.

And it also wants to imply that Zhang Hong and Columbia Pictures are not at the end of the mountain.

Zhang Hong smiled lightly: "Then I will return to China, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in China." ”

Donald's face instantly became bitter, "Zhang, even if it's for the sake of Bai's face......"

"It's not that I don't help, you have to talk about which one wants to buy you, honesty is the basis of cooperation. Zhang Hong said lightly, "Is it Disney?" ”

Thinking about it, Hollywood actually has several of the so-called eight major film studios that are not doing well.

Who else can be the fiercest now besides Disney?

And when he was in China, he knew from the news that Disney recently wanted to get involved in the live-action film industry.

Donald saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, and he was also very single:

"It's Sony. ”

Anyway, I've already given the bottom, and I don't care about this stubble.

Zhang Hong was slightly stunned to show respect.

Sony?

Actually, he wasn't surprised at all.

In his previous life, Columbia Pictures was acquired by Sony.

In order to tighten the rights to the Spider-Man movie in his hand, Sony also asked Columbia Pictures to make several Spider-Mans.

For example, "Spider-Man 1.2", and "The Amazing Spider-Man".

"Spider-Man 3" is produced by Marvel and published by Sony.

Later, it was just a cooperation with Marvel, in fact, the copyright of the Spider-Man movie series had long been sold by Marvel.

Sure enough, although this is a parallel world, some things will still happen, but it may be a few years earlier, or more than ten years later.

After that, Donald simply broke the can and told Zhang Hong a lot of detailed inside stories.

Columbia Pictures used to be really glamorous, and it has produced several Oscar-winning films.

Even many of the "007 Series" were filmed by Columbia Pictures.

But in recent years, the movies they have made have basically hit the streets.

Here, the investment in a commercial popcorn movie can range from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, or even more than 100 million.

And the unit is still dollars.

has lost money for several years in a row, and even Columbia Pictures can't stand it.

Moreover, many of them are VAM agreements or movies made with financing, and the loss is even greater.

By now, Columbia Pictures is actually teetering on the verge of bankruptcy.

That's when Sony jumped out.

Of course Columbia Pictures doesn't!

At least they didn't do it at first.

After all, the Anglo-Saxon descendants have bandit genes in their bones, and they are meant to be.

They have always been the only ones who rob others, and they can still be robbed by others this year?

The key is to rob me of Huaguo, even if it is Huaguo, why do you dare to take the lead as a concubine of Huaguo?

I can't bear it!

But you still have to endure it!

No way, they give too much.

Colombia is actually divided into two factions, one wants to sell, and the other doesn't want to sell.

As a result, the faction that didn't want to sell began to rush to the doctor.

So, Zhang Hong made his debut.

After Donald finished speaking, Zhang Hong basically understood.

In fact, they are using themselves as tools, hoping that they can make a money-making movie.

Not to mention making money, at least it can return to its original cost.

This can initially save the hearts of the board of directors and make everyone continue to be patient and hopeful for Columbia Pictures.

Is Zhang Hong willing to be this tool man?

Apparently unwilling.

Unless......

"Dear Donald, let's talk about compensation first. ”

Zhang Hong cocked Erlang's legs, "What conditions are you going to give me?"

Donald picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of red wine before saying, "Five million dollars, Zhang, this is not low." You know, in Hollywood, you're still a newcomer. It's too high, and the board of directors can't approve it. ”

"Five million ......" Zhang Hong smiled, "The two movies I just released add up to 2.2 billion at the box office." After deducting costs, I made more than two billion billion. ”

According to the exchange rate of this world, 2.1 billion is more than 700 million dollars and close to 800 million dollars.

He also understands very clearly, Lao Tzu makes a lot of money from making movies in China, and he still cares about your fifteen million remuneration?

Donald accompanied the smiling face, "Zhang, this is Hollywood!"

Zhang Hong smiled but did not speak.

It's not Hollywood, it's his business?

Hollywood is the mecca in the hearts of all film directors?

Maybe.

But there is definitely no Zhang Hong among these people.

In his eyes, Hollywood is no different from Ah Sange's Bollywood.

It's not nothing, maybe the difference is that you can make more money in a Hollywood movie.

Anyway, hearing Donald's implicitly smug words, Zhang Hong just stretched out his left little thumb and plucked his ear, then blew his nails, and said nonchalantly:

"I remember that Sony is a company in Fuso, I am quite familiar with Mr. Wu Dingguo, the president of our Chinese Film and Television Association, I heard that the East Asian Film Exchange Seminar is about to be held, do you want me to call him and ask him to help ask Sony what the situation is?"

What is shrimp pork heart!

This is called shrimp pork heart!

In fact, what Zhang Hong wants is very simple.

As long as he exceeds a certain amount at the box office, then he will have a high share.

For example, if you invest 150 million dollars, counting the cost of publicity and distribution in the later stage, you have to earn at least 500 million dollars to return to your capital.

If the box office exceeds 500 million dollars, Zhang Hong will ask individuals to share 5 to 20 percent of the profits.

Anyway, his bottom line is five points, and the highest goal is twenty points.

Donald understands in seconds.

He immediately said: "We need to discuss this, but we will have a result in half an hour." ”

Zhang Hong nodded, "Please." ”

He drank plain water calmly.

Lin Muqing next to him didn't say a word, just made a perfect background board.

In fact, it didn't take half an hour, but in ten minutes Donald was back.

His face was full of seriousness, "Zhang, our conditions have been prepared, if you can't accept it, then I'm afraid we can only look forward to the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

Zhang Hong's heart tightened.

Could it be that the conditions for them to open are not high?

Zhang Hong lowered the bottom line in his heart, as long as there is a 1% box office net profit dividend.

In his nervous anticipation, Donald spoke:

"Our condition is that after the cost is recovered, the additional profit will be opened. ”

Forty percent?!

This Columbia Pictures people are all brain-pumping?

Zhang Hong's heart blossomed, but on the surface he pretended to be calm, "It's a pity, it seems that I can only find a chance to cooperate in the future." ”

After that, he got up and was about to take Lin Muqing away.

"Wait!" Donald called out to Zhang Hong.

He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "Fifty percent! Zhang, no more!"

Zhang Hong turned his head and smiled, "Deal! Sony is heinous! I have seen that they are unhappy!"
