Donate $100 million to build a Dolby Building!

Truth be told, the $100 million donation is ...... Not much.

However, Donn's fame and influence are too great!

The University of California, Los Angeles held a grand donation ceremony for this purpose, and even sent out invitations to invite some well-known alumni to come.

Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Nicolas Cage, James Franco, James Dean, Eric Ross and other well-known Hollywood figures have appeared.

At the donation ceremony, Tang En also made a high-profile appearance, enthusiastically telling everyone about the noble sentiments of film art, which won a full house.

At the end of the ceremony, Don shook hands with every guest present.

Most of these people came to him in the face, but it was not to increase the hospitality of Los Angeles.

Unexpectedly, in this group of people, he actually saw Ann Lee.

"Huh, you're also an alumnus of Los Angeles?"

Don was a little surprised, he vaguely remembered that Ann Lee ...... Looks like you graduated from New York University, right?

Ann Lee smiled: "I'm not, I came here today, mainly because I was invited by a few fellow villagers to take this opportunity to get together." ”

Tang En has seen too much, and he can hear what he has to say at once, "Fellow actor, actor or director?"

"It's the director. ”

"Oh, bring me here?"

"Justin!

Ann Lee gave Don a grateful look, then waved back and called a yellow-skinned Asian male.

Very young, just in his 30s.

Don suddenly smiled, "Your name is Justin?"

"Yes, Justin Lin. ”

"What about Chinese names?"

The other party was stunned for a moment.

You Yankee, what does it mean to ask a Chinese name?

Ann Lee hurriedly gave him a look and said, "Director Walker's Mandarin level is higher than that of both of us!"

"Huh?"

The other party was stunned for a moment.

Ann Lee shook his head helplessly, and said to Tang En ashamedly: "His name is Lin Yibin, he studied at the University of California, Los Angeles for both bachelor's and master's degrees, and his grades are very good, and he has filmed many award-winning works during his time in school. ”

Tang En naturally recognized him a long time ago, and asked with a smile: "What movies have you made?"

Justin Lindau: "I made a feature film, Good Luck Tomorrow, which won awards at many independent film festivals. The film was released last year at a cost of $250,000 to produce and grossed nearly $4 million worldwide. ”

"Oh, good results!" Donn was a little surprised.

The awards at independent film festivals are of little value, and the box office is the most convincing.

It is a remarkable achievement for a niche independent film to not only be released, but also to be able to earn back $4 million at the box office with an investment of $250,000.

Such an amazing achievement should have been noticed by Hollywood giants, right?

Don gave Ann Lee a strange look.

With Justin Lin's current results and potential, there should be no shortage of opportunities.

Ann Lee lowered her voice and said: "Justin has received an invitation from Disney to direct a military movie, and I heard that James Franco will also be invited to star." ”

James Franco...... He's Spider-Man!

Personal salary, to say the least, is $15 million!

This is no small project!

Justin Lin hesitated, "Mr. Walker, actually...... Actually, I'm competing for the director position of "Fast and Furious 3". However, I have been waiting for more than half a year, and Universal Pictures has not replied to me for a long time. ”

"Fast and Furious 2" was filmed in 2002 and completed its release in 2003, and the results are getting better and better.

According to the laws of the market, the project of "Fast and Furious 3" should also be launched.

But after all this time, there is still no reply.

Don En frowned, "Don't worry, I'll ask." ”

This is the difference between Chinese and Western cultures.

If it is the West, at most it will use its own connections to introduce it. Eastern culture is different, and Ann Lee's attitude is also very obvious, that is, he spares no effort to recommend his fellow treasure islander.

It is reasonable to be reasonable, Tang En always has to help.

Besides, he's Lin Yibin!

He is one of the few successful Chinese-American directors in Hollywood.

Tang En called the global side and asked about it, and his mind was a little complicated.

After thinking about it for a while, this explained to him: "I asked, what is the project of "Fast and Furious 3"...... It's a bit complicated. You know, the first two films of "Fast and Furious" were directed by two different films, and as a result, the film styles were very different. Although "Fast and Furious 2" did well at the box office, its reputation has decreased. ”

Universal Pictures is evaluating the prospects for the series and is looking for a regular director to take on the next few sequels. Therefore, the project of "Fast and Furious 3" has not been launched for a long time. After all, it's not just a movie, it's about the whole series, and you have to be cautious. ”

"They have also read your application materials, recognized your strength, and praised your ideas and plans for the future of this series. It is currently being discussed, but it should not be possible in the short term. Universal Pictures will be looking for more producers and writers to fully develop the series. ”

These words are half-truths and half-truths.

It's impossible for Don to tell an outsider everything.

This matter is far more complicated than you think!

"Fast and Furious" was originally just a marginal racing movie, with no plot, no depth, no cast, and Universal Pictures even refused to invest several times.

It was Vin Diesel who used his connections to get the opportunity to star, and brought in a large amount of money to persuade Universal Pictures to run the project.

Unexpectedly, the two "Fast and Furious" have achieved amazing success!

Only then did Universal Pictures discover that the original market was so optimistic about movies with the theme of flying cars!

If you can make money, of course, you won't let it go.

Universal Pictures will shelve "Fast and Furious 3", not because it wants to dry Lin Yibin, nor because the reputation of "Fast and Furious 2" has declined...... It's because it's about fighting against Vin Diesel!

The producer of "Fast and Furious" is Vin Diesel, and he was the one who saved up the project back then!

Now that the film has made a lot of money, it is impossible for Universal Pictures to continue to put him in power, not only to take back the power, but also to take back the investment rights of the funds!

"Fast and Furious 3", as well as the subsequent sequel series, Universal Pictures will invest independently and refuse all foreign capital to participate in the shares!

The project has risks, and foreign investors should be drawn to share the risks.

If the project is successful, of course, we must kick out all the foreign investors and make a lot of money by eating alone!

Hollywood doesn't tell the truth.

Don't look at Vin Diesel as the biggest contributor to the "Fast and Furious" series, but a giant company like Universal Pictures will not take a movie star seriously.

Vin Diesel disagrees with Universal's practice of eating alone, and is resolutely resisting!

However, how can a movie actor compete with Hollywood giants?

Back then, Universal Pictures would release "Fast and Furious", and a package agreement was signed, and the derivative rights of "Fast and Furious" were all owned by Universal Pictures.

Other investors only have the right to pay dividends for a single movie!

It is true that Vin Diesel is the core creative member, but he does not own any rights to the "Fast and Furious" series.

Now, Universal Pictures has turned its face and denied anyone, and if he wants to completely reclaim all the rights to "Fast and Furious", what can Vin Diesel do? If you can't participate in the investment, you are missing a big cake!

Even, Vin Diesel did not hesitate to refuse to act, in order to show resistance!

At present, Universal Pictures has not been able to start "Fast and Furious 3" for a long time, and it is dealing with a dispute with Vin Diesel.

settled him, and naturally everyone was happy.

If it doesn't work...... Hmph, Universal Pictures won't be soft either!

Amy Pascal had already told Donn on the phone that he would give Vin Diesel some more time to consider. If he still refuses, then I'm embarrassed, Universal Pictures will directly start "Fast and Furious 3" and exclude Vin Diesel!

When the time comes, Vin Diesel will encounter the harsh banning of Universal Pictures!

Unless he is willing to give in and come back to make "Fast and Furious 4", his film career will be completely ruined.

Naturally, Don will stand firmly on Universal's side.

Although it is very domineering and shameless, this is Hollywood, and he grew up in such an environment.

He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, "Fast and Furious 3", it seemed that there was really no Vin Diesel.

During that time, Vin Diesel took refuge in Twentieth Century Fox and filmed a "New Era of Life and Death", but it turned out to be rotten and his career suffered a serious crisis.

In desperation, he could only put down his body, begged Universal Pictures for mercy, and participated in "Fast and Furious 4" and a series of subsequent sequel movies.

The career has finally been revitalized again.

With such a cruel insider, of course, Tang En can't tell outsiders, just find a few reasons to be perfunctory.

Justin Lin was slightly disappointed, "That's ...... How long will Universal Pictures have to work on it?"

"I don't know. Don shook his head and shrugged his shoulders again, "Although Universal Pictures is my company, I can't manage everything in detail. Didn't you get an invitation from Disney?"

Justin Lin nodded, "Yes, a military-themed movie." ”

Although I don't know what that movie is, James Franco will be willing to act, which means that it will not be too bad." Justin, in Hollywood...... Don't miss any possible opportunity!"

"That "Fast and Furious 3" ......"

"Don't worry, I'll mention your name if there's a good chance!"

Before Justin Lin could say anything more, Ann Lee pulled him and gave him a look.

This idiot!

Don En has said this to this point, and you still don't understand?

Let's shoot Disney's "Conquest of the Raging Sea" first!

The movie "Fast and Furious 3" hasn't landed yet!

After filming "Conquest of the Angry Sea", I will come back to shoot "Fast and Furious 3", which is enough time!
