They?

-stirring sticks?

Shen Ming refused directly!

Yes, he really wants the Oscar trophy, but if the price is anal fissure, forget it...

I don't know if Xiao Lizi has ever been like this on the road to the Olympics...

When Shen Ming translated 'philatelic fetish' and told Milk Xiao, the latter couldn't stop smiling.

"Laugh at it..."

"Let you come by yourself, you don't come, and I want you to contribute... Haha..."

"It's immoral!"

"And you're still letting me use my mouth?"

“… I'll suck it for you, too!"

……

Four Seasons Hotel.

Damien Chazelle carefully copes with the greetings of producers and producers, and at the same time considers the investment in new projects.

His new project must still be in cooperation with Shen Ming, which is a matter that was decided during the filming of "Burst Drummer"!

In the same way, Shen Ming didn't tell Dan Gilroy, didn't tell Neil Blomkamp, the director of "Dallas Buyers Club" Jean-Marc Valley, including Josh Bonn, the director of "The Fault in the Stars", at the end of the movie, Shen Ming said, 'There is a chance to work together again!'

But what he said to Damien Chazelle was that I would play the leading role in the next play, and I would invest in it!

Why treat him differently?

This guy is a very shrewd guy who spends every dime of his budget!

For example, according to the regulations of the Actors' Guild, the salary of an actor with lines is at least $400 a day, and those without lines only need $100 a day, so in "Burst Drummer", the waiter or passerby in the restaurant is basically just a symbol, and there is not a single line...

He set the story of "Burst Drummer" in Los Angeles, which saved a lot of hotel money, and his team basically lived in Los Angeles, and drove every day...

The nearly two-hour movie was filmed in 16 days, which is shorter than the average American drama...

"The Burst Drummer" was shot for less than $3 million, and if you spend the same amount of money on another director, he really won't be able to finish it...

Directors who know how to think about the producer, and are also very talented directors, are always a minority, because talented people often want to express themselves, in this case, he will not think of saving money, but how to be cool...

It's hard to catch one, of course you have to hurry!

In recent years, there has been a trend in Hollywood, in addition to super-large productions and medium productions, to start to divide a small production of 300-5 million US dollars, you are like Lionsgate or Weinstein Films, they are like this, producing more than ten films at a time, within this range, even if the film is not released, it can barely recoup the cost by selling the copyright to major websites. More than a dozen movies are produced every year, most of which suffer a slight loss, but there are always one or two hits, and you can get dozens of times the income.

Before the filming of "Burst Drummer" started, Shen Ming calculated that as long as he could win an award, the copyright fees of several major websites alone would be able to return to the cost!

So, he voted!

Now, the box office of "Burst Drummer" is $32 million, which has long since paid off, and it can bring at least a dozen times the return on investment.

That's something they can't do with Josh Bonn!

They're a bunch of prodigies, like Jean-Marc Vallée, whose next work has been set, called Into the Wilderness, with an investment of $16 million.

Shen Ming didn't dare to play...

However, they are not short of investors, Hollywood is 'thirsty for talent', as long as you prove yourself, someone will definitely give you money!

"Damien!"

"Josh, let!"

Josh Boone and Jean-Marc Vallée walked over.

"Congratulations, 'Burst Drummer' has won four nominations!"

Damien Chazelle smiled: "... It's the result of their PR and it has nothing to do with me!"

"You are too modest, have you been with Shen for a long time?"

“… No, I'm telling the truth!"

Josh Boone shook his head, "When will Shen arrive?"

"It should be soon, what's wrong?"

"I feel that Shen is not very optimistic about my "Everything We Have", although it is very tactful, he has not invested a dime!"

“… You're a female subject, and he has concerns about female subjects!"

"But the big trend in Hollywood right now is the rise of women..."

"He's in China after all. ”

Jean-Marc Vallée frowned: "Why do you think Shen has been staying in China?

Dan Gilroy walked over with a cup of black tea and joined the discussion: "... The market in China is bigger than we thought, and if it were me, I wouldn't want to come to Hollywood. ”

"Yes, the box office performance of the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" in China is close to 900 million US dollars, which is amazing!"

"The Chinese market can afford a $200 million production!"

The most intuitive impression of "Wolf Warrior 2" on Lao Mei is that there is no end to the ceiling of the Chinese box office...

Let's not talk about whether we like it or not, the market is bigger, which is the truth!

"District 9 was $150 million over there... Yo, Shen is here!"

A few people looked up, and sure enough, they saw Shen Ming, who was wearing a black suit and holding milk Xiao, walked in from the main entrance, and at the same time, a group of filmmakers who had been waiting for a long time rushed up and surrounded him tightly...

Dan Gilroy smiled lightly: "Our Shen is really red now!"

"Yes, all four works exploded, and the last actor who was so powerful was Tom Cruise!"

……

Shen Ming is really red!

With Hollywood's urine, if you can generate more than twice as much revenue, they will treat you as their own father.

This guy has created dozens of times the gains...

While happily dealing with a bunch of department managers and producers of film companies, he walked towards Damien's table.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in a long time, how are everyone?"

“… It's not as good as you, you've booked the actor now, right?"

"No, no, it's not an honor if you don't get it!"

After chatting a few words, Shen Ming sat down, and then asked Damien next to him: "The script is out?"

"It's been out for a long time, and that's what I wrote in the first script. ”

“… Okay, when will you shoot?"

"Won't you read the script?"

"Didn't you tell me about the idea of a musical?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Then don't read it yet, I'm afraid I'm too excited, you send me the script to my email, I'm going back to China, read it slowly!"

“… The investment is almost $32 million. ”

"So tall?"

"I went to Emma Watson and she offered $15 million..."

Shen Ming frowned decisively, the price was too high, accounting for almost half of the total investment, and asked directly: "... Do you like her?"

“… She can pull the box office..."

"The actor's salary cannot exceed 6 million!"

“… Then I'll change someone. ”

Damien Chazelle smiled awkwardly...

"By the way, what's the name of your work?"

“LaLaLand！”
