Chapter 926: Courage Club

Lucas's trip to China made him re-acquaint himself with this ancient country, especially this magnificent beauty, he felt that he should not enjoy it alone, and let more friends come here to have a look, Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, I will definitely invite these friends to come over when I have the opportunity in the future.

Lucas took the script of "Forrest Gump" given to him by Liu Lang and Lin Guodong happily returned to the United States, and the next arrangements to prepare for this movie, starring Tom Hanks hand-picked by Liu Lang, and the other actors have to be selected for a while, two months is about the same, as for shooting this movie, it will be a lot easier, because the storyboards drawn by Liu Lang have basically made the skeleton of the whole movie. The shape is built, he, the director, only needs to render it richer, to be honest, Liu Lang's name should be added to the director's column of this movie, but fortunately, Liu Lang specially told Lucas that he is just a screenwriter, and the director can only be Lucas alone.

Liu Lang has his own plans, as long as Lucas wins the Oscar for Best Director, his status in Hollywood will be improved again, reaching a height that he has not reached in his previous life.

There are two systems of Hollywood films, one is a pure commercial film, big production and pomp, the purpose is to make money, actors don't need much acting skills, anyway, it's cool, this kind of movie is the most popular among the people, there is a wide base of people, everyone pays for tickets, but this kind of movie is very unpopular with ceremonies like Oscars and Cannes, at best, it can only get an award for best visual effects or best cinematography, as for the best leading actor, director and original screenplay, there is almost no possibility.

Another system is a movie that is biased towards acting and plot, this kind of movie doesn't care about the box office, it relies on the plot and acting, and there are also the so-called mainstream values, this kind of movie is quite popular with critics,

But in the same way, such a movie will not receive much attention from the common people, and some people will still feel that this kind of movie is purely moaning without illness and not knowing what to do.

There is a market for movies in both systems in Hollywood, but if investors are asked to choose one, of course, most of them are the former, those that can make money are good movies, and more than eighty percent of those that can't make money are bad movies.

The films of the two systems are equivalent to two cultures, the former is mass pop culture, belongs to the lower riba people, and has a broad mass base, and the latter is an elite culture, which belongs to the spring and white snow, and is favored by a small number of people, Lucas is the representative of the lower riba people, a "Star Wars" With a raging 800 million US dollars, he has become a big director of commercial films, and his status in Hollywood is also very high, but this does not show how high his directing skills are, it can only show that his ability to make money is very large, and if he wants to get a higher level of recognition, he can only win an Oscar for Best Director.

But this is not easy to say, first of all, to win this award, you must have profound skills as a director, but this movie must also be very suitable for the mainstream values of Yangchun Baixue, which can resonate widely, plus the actors must also be very powerful, the three conditions are indispensable, and there are very few movies like this.

It can be said that the person who can win the Oscar for Best Director, regardless of whether he can make money for investors, his status has reached the height of the first line anyway, no way, the Oscar itself is a golden signboard, and if you bring this brand, you will be engraved with the word "awesome", which is enough for you to blow for a lifetime.

Lucas is now a big director of commercial films, the first part of the previous "Star Wars" achieved a global box office of 800 million US dollars, and now it is still the holder of the highest box office, and his status is already good.

Liu Lang wants to do his best to push Lucas to the palace of Hollywood, and once it succeeds, Shengtang Company will also rise to a new height, and both public and private people will be happy.

Liu Lang sent Lucas and Lin Guodong away, met several old friends in the capital, Lu Mingzhi, Sun Mingfan, Chen Chunsheng and others, and went to the Youth Development Foundation to have a look, and everything went very smoothly.

He spent five days in the capital, and just as he was about to return to Fucheng, Shao Mingtao, the general manager of the Yongli Group, came to visit and invited Liu Lang to a private party on behalf of the military.

This private party was held in the Yongli Group Club, and Shao Mingtao personally drove and took Liu Lang and Wang Zhendong to come here half an hour in advance.

Yongli Group Club is a four-storey building built by Yongli Group last year, not to look at only four floors, but the height is more than 30 meters, hired a well-known designer in China to design it, and has become a building with a modern atmosphere.

Yongli Group originally started with foreign trade, with the progress of the times, the group gradually diversified, in the previous life Yongli Group involved in real estate, culture and other industries, this club is obviously the real estate industry.

According to Shao Mingtao, the club specializes in hiring professionals to manage on Hong Kong Island, and its business targets are high-end talents, such as diplomats, Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen, etc., and a consumption of at least 1,000 yuan or more, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can consume.

Liu Lang smiled and said nothing, Yongli Group seems to be engaged in a variety of operations, this is normal, now the country is developing so fast, especially the capital and Shanghai, the two big cities attract a large number of foreign companies to invest, the face of the city is no longer changing.

Liu Lang returned to the country in June last year, and has been in Fucheng for most of the year, and when he came to the capital again, he felt that it had changed a lot here, a large number of old buildings had disappeared, high-rise buildings had risen on flat land, the roads had widened a lot, the number of cars on the road was several times higher than in previous years, and blonde and blue-eyed foreigners could be seen from time to time when walking on the street.

The domestic market began to show potential, and companies like Yongli Group certainly saw it clearly, so they turned their attention back.

What industry is the most promising in China now? Of course, it is still the service industry, and restaurants, guesthouses, and so on are in short supply; of course, the so-called hotels and guesthouses are not those guest houses, and when do you think Hong Kong, Taiwan, and foreigners will live in such places?

Don't say it's them, even those who are the first batch of people in China to get rich won't live in this kind of place, it's too low-level, they don't want to save money, they want a high-end atmosphere.
