Chapter 1116: Purifying the Entertainment Industry
Compared with Russia's depression, China's economic development is booming.
This summer, Donn's main destination is actually China.
After finalizing the cooperation with the Korean special effects industrial park, Hollywood is actively looking for a connection with the Chinese market. Not to mention big companies such as Disney and Warner, even the DreamWorks Animation Department is interested in establishing a branch in China.
Needless to say, New Universal.
Although China's film market has not yet exploded, the consumption power of luxury goods has been demonstrated. LV, Hermes and other European luxury brands, 80% of their annual sales come from East Asia, with South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, mainland China and Singapore being the largest consumption regions.
In particular, China, which is growing rapidly, has become a mobile wallet for the luxury market.
Prada has a very high sales volume in Japan and is also very popular in Hong Kong, but it is a little sluggish in China and South Korea, and the nouveau riche are more recognized by luxury goods with big logos such as LV and Hermes.
Next, Prada ...... Including the "Victoria's Secret's" underwear under acquisition, marketing and market expansion in the mainland market will be an important development direction for the Consumer Goods Department.
In short, with the advancement of time, the cooperation between New Global and China will surely increase.
Leaving Moscow, Donn flew directly to China.
Until the plane landed at the capital's airport, Donn seemed to be immersed in the bliss of a wonderful night in Moscow.
It's so exciting!
Ten buds are opened, and all of them are red.
Russia is also worthy of the title of a fighting nation, although those beautiful girls are also first-time personnel, but unlike the delicate and cute girls of South Korea and Japan, they are really strong, even if it is the first time, they can come boldly and honestly, even if it hurts, they are in tears, and they grit their teeth and insist.
The quality of the will is particularly good!
It was a rare experience.
Don came to China, and the itinerary was very full.
First of all, he is going to the crew of "Mulan".
The movie is finished.
Rose Pictures is in talks with China Film to coordinate the post-production of the upcoming film and the marketing work that will begin immediately.
The film is expected to be released in March next year.
It's time to warm up the hype!
The publicity and distribution work in the overseas market is the responsibility of the global distribution department, and the mainland market is relatively special and is monopolized by China Film. However, China Film's publicity strategies and marketing methods are relatively old and backward, and the United States is actively arranging to teach them the experience of operating commercial blockbusters.
That's help!
In the process of the rise of a great power, in many cases, it is necessary to spend money to buy experience and advanced science and technology, so as to avoid detours and develop in a straight line.
It can be said that the American staff of the "Mulan" crew have received great respect and warm hospitality from China Film.
It was a pleasure to work with!
Don came to the international hotel where the crew was staying, and found the executive producer of "Mulan" Barry Brown. M. Osborne.
He is probably the best producer of commercial blockbusters in Hollywood that executes transnational collaborations, including "Yellow Sand Warrior", "Changing Face", "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, etc., he has participated in.
It was the first time he had cooperated with the Chinese side.
"Everything went well. Although many of their practices are not professional, they are sincere in their attitude and have a strong ability to execute. Seeing Donn, the big boss, Barry Osborne didn't complain.
It seems that he admires this Sino-US cooperation.
Don smiled, "I heard...... When you were casting a group performance, there was a little accident?"
"Oh! That's it!" Barry Osborne smiled bitterly, "That's my responsibility, I didn't communicate with the Chinese team when I was working, and this accident happened." ”
A commercial blockbuster like "Mulan" is not a shooting team, literary drama and martial arts go hand in hand, as well as exterior locations and interspersed plots, many times they have to be filmed separately.
It's not a literary film, as long as the plot is smooth and the lens language is generally passed, shortening the cycle is equivalent to saving budget.
As a result, a filming team had an accident while filming the plot of the heroine Mulan's hometown.
"What's going on?" asked Donne.
Barry Osborne sighed and babbled on and on about the incident.
This second wave of filming teams went to the location to carry out shooting tasks, first to select extras, and then they went to Huairou Film and Television Base. However, where did they think that most of Huairou's group performances were liars!
The group heads, theater owners, extras, and intermediary agencies there colluded with each other to jointly manipulate the extras market, and a gray industrial chain has been formed.
These group leaders and courtyard owners rented farmhouse yards around the film and television base, and then began to recruit extras in various names.
Many young people who don't know the depth and have dreams of movies will be interviewed by agencies after seeing the recruitment advertisement.
The intermediary will then ask for the payment of referral fees, insurance premiums, deposits, handling fees, security deposits, etc.
There are all kinds of strange reasons, in short, to collect money!
After paying the money, these young people will be dragged to a rented yard around Huairou, which is commonly known as Huairou Courtyard.
After coming, it really looks like a pyramid scheme organization, and it will carry out brainwashing propaganda of "making money first".
The group would seize their documents and tell them to be patient, but there was little chance of doing so.
It's good to be able to run a few times a month.
In this way, they can't make ends meet, what should they do?
The group leader has other arrangements.
If it's better, go to the film company to pick up the "public relations" order and accompany the big customers. Maybe he was hit by the big boss in the process, so he jumped on the branch and became a phoenix, and he could be the protagonist directly.
Almost ...... I can only go to a nightclub to accompany the drink.
Generally speaking, young people with movie dreams will not look too bad!
If it's too bad, it won't be accepted by the group.
If anyone who doesn't want to do it wants to go...... Yes, all fees and deposits previously paid are non-refundable.
Prior to this, the local film and television companies had reached a tacit understanding with the group leaders.
Hello, hello, everyone, live in peace.
"Mulan" is a Hollywood blockbuster, and it has spread outside, with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars!
Very rich!
After the crew invited extras from Huairou, they encountered a series of troublesome incidents.
In addition to the necessary salary, the group leaders also asked them to undertake business such as prop rental, on-set chores, and lunch box delivery.
Don't accept it?
During the filming of the film, the ensemble will make noise to affect the actors, or block the camera and affect the camera, or switch power to affect the lighting...... In short, try every means to create trouble and interfere with the filming of the crew.
According to conventional logic, in order to ensure the smooth shooting, hurry up and reach an overlord agreement with them, more is better than less.
Many crews in the Hong Kong government do this.
But "Mulan" is a Hollywood movie, and Americans don't eat it, so they announced a shutdown and reported it layer by layer.
The production assistant reported to Barry Osborne, and Barry Osborne communicated with Mr. Han of China Film.
It's a big deal!
This is not the kind of money-making movie of the Hong Kong government, it is a commercial blockbuster of international significance co-produced by China and the United States! This is of international political significance to the Chinese side!
This can have a very bad negative impact!
The next day, the relevant departments took swift action to arrest a group of hooligans in the gray industry chain. Even the district leaders of Huairou came to the door to apologize.
"In fact, Mr. Han has explained to me in advance that he must communicate with the Chinese side in terms of the recruitment of staff and actors. I really didn't take the group performance to heart, which is why such an accident happened. Barry Osborne shook his head, "The environment is different, and it really needs the cooperation of the local department. ”
When he was in the United States, Donn just listened to Kathleen Kennedy, the head of Rose Pictures, casually say that "Mulan" had a little accident during filming.
I didn't expect it to be so magnificent, this is overturning a gray industrial chain!
"We can also be regarded as contributing to the purification of the mainland's film and television environment, a good thing!" Don En listened to this story and was very satisfied.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Barry Osborne went to get up and open the door, and then he saw two beautiful actresses, the heroine and supporting actress of "Mulan".
Miss Zhang was pleasantly surprised and said, "Mr. Osborne, is my brother here?"
"Your brother?"
Barry Osborne was stunned for a moment.
Miss Zhang pursed her lips and smiled, "Donn Walker." ”
Barry Osborne laughed, "Oh......! Yes, yes!"
He was in his sixties.
I have worked hard in Hollywood for most of my life, and I have seen too many winds and waves.
The heroine and supporting actress will come over, what does it mean?
Obvious!
Purify the entertainment industry?
Don't even think about it!
Don is the biggest beneficiary!
Barry Oss found a casual excuse to leave, giving up the room to Donne.
"Brother Tang, you're really here!"
After Barry Osborne left, Miss Zhang ran over quickly with her arms outstretched, her face flushed and she looked excited.
Tang En snorted coldly, waved his hand to stop her, and reprimanded, "Why did you come here? I'm working, don't you know?"
Miss Zhang said very aggrievedly: "Brother Tang, I miss you, I heard that you arrived, so I came over with Tiantian as soon as possible." ”
"Sweet?"
Tang En's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes fell on the delicate and handsome girl behind Miss Zhang.
Sure enough, it was her!
Big Sweet!
She is wearing a long black dress, with well-behaved red lips, a delicate face, long hair fluttering, and a bright ** person. Especially the big eyes blinking, it seems that he is a little afraid to look at Tang En, a little shy, showing innocence.
I don't know if it's a kind of hometown timidity, Tang En feels that the beautiful girl in front of him is really beautiful, much more beautiful than the cute girls he has collected in Korea and Japan in the past two years.
There is a sense of nature that is very close.
"Ahem!"
Miss Zhang coughed heavily, and then with a playful look, she walked over and sat next to Tang En with a smile, hugged his arm flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, do you think Tiantian is beautiful?"
"Well, that's good. ”
Don maintained the majesty of the big guy and remained silent.
But the Adam's apple moved inadvertently.
This Miss Zhang, the level of sycophants is really a set!
