Harvey Weinstein may be down, but his team is still there.

His younger brother, Bob Weinstein, led Timon Pictures to join Warner Bros.

Warners apparently also values the giant team of independent studios, and handed over Warner Bros.'s independent film company, Warner Independent Pictures, to Bob Weinstein.

At this year's Cannes, David Ellison's "Air Combat Heroes" became the biggest joke.

At the same time, the costume fantasy blockbuster "Wuji" from China has become the biggest winner!

Although "Wu Ji" only brought part of the film, not even half of the finished film, the beautiful special effects and kaleidoscopic color rendering brought great shock to European and American film critics and media people.

Bob Weinstein led his team and was also decisive in the first shot!

To buy out the North American rights!

The price is as high as $25 million!

The upfront deposit alone is $1 million.

This will be the most expensive non-Hollywood film ever!

It's higher than Lao Mouzi's "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides"!

Director Chen Da also became popular in one fell swoop, and after "Farewell My Concubine", it became popular in Europe and the United States again, and became a popular darling in the Chinese film industry.

The production cost of "Wu Ji" is only 15 million US dollars, and the pre-sale of the rights in East Asia alone can earn back this part of the money. The $25 million buyout fee for North American rights is entirely net.

This incident also caused a series of chain reactions.

Originally, Lao Mouzi's mind was shaken, and deep down he didn't really want to make a pure commercial film like "The City Full of Golden Armor", which was restricted by the producer everywhere.

He has even thought about going to Hollywood to join Don En, first shoot a kung fu-themed American drama to warm up and familiarize himself with the environment. Then look for a bigger career space and complete a personal breakthrough.

The chief director of the 2008 Olympic Games has been decided, and it is him.

This is a matter that represents the dignity and glory of a country, and he must do his best whether it is public or private.

However, the news from Cannes made him unable to calm down.

"Boundless" sold for a higher price than "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides"!

Who is the number one director in the mainland?

The position of the top spot, you can't let it!

Especially after the news of the sky-high price of "Wuji" came out of China, another big director, Xiao Gangzi, couldn't hold his breath, and also planned to make a costume drama and go to the European and American markets to make a lot of money, I heard that it was going to adapt Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

Danger is everywhere!

The sudden accident immediately changed Lao Mouzi's step-by-step train of thought, and his ambition swelled again, and he set his sights on "The City is Full of Golden Armor".

He wants to use this movie to prove that he is the leader of the mainland film market!

For this reason, he also made a special phone call to Don to apologize.

After Tang En heard about it, he persuaded a few words, but it had no effect, so he could only express his blessing.

O human heart!

Hollywood producers really grasp the greed and desire of human nature in a nuanced way.

There are many reasons why the North American copyright of "Wu Ji" can be sold for a sky-high price of $25 million.

In addition to the North American hits of "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides", a new film "Kung Fu" by Zhou Xingxing is currently being released in North America.

The market is doing very well.

If "Kung Fu" can exceed $40 million at the North American box office, it proves that there is still a great demand for this type of Chinese film in the North American market.

If Kung Fu's North American revenue doesn't meet expectations, and Boundless doesn't reach the same level of box office in Asia and Europe as high as Heroes, then the time will ...... Warner can't take the deal anyway.

Hollywood has long been playing the tricks of capital operation, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand the routine.

$25 million?

Wrong, the deposit is only $1 million!

$1,000,000, buy a half-year advance amount, a big gamble.

The market is good, and the transaction continues.

If you have money, everyone earns it together.

If the market is not good, stop loss immediately!

Warner lost only $1 million in deposits.

Not only "Wuji", but South Korea's "Tai Chi Flag Flying" has also eaten this routine.

Film withdrawal has become not only a commercial act, but also a Hollywood culture.

"If you give you a chance, you don't want it, it seems that you are destined to lose your chance with Hollywood. ”

Don shook his head, a little helpless.

Among the Chinese directors, only John Wu really broke into Hollywood with his own style and achieved great success. Ahn Lee was also successful, but he was successful in Hollywood in the style of Hollywood, and did not have significant characteristics of Chinese-language films.

After John Wu's defeat and retreat, Lao Mouzi had a good chance of succession, and he even stepped into it with half a foot, but he still chose to dominate his own one-third of an acre.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Very rude.

With just this one action, Don could guess that it must be Taylor Swift.

Sure enough, I saw her holding Lily Collins' hand, her pretty face was red and white, and she rushed in angrily.

Tang En quickly got up, walked over and hugged them in his arms with open arms, and said with a smile: "Who made you angry again?"

Taylor said angrily, "Don, someone is bullying Lily!"

"Huh?" Tang En was stunned, his face slightly condensed, "What's going on?"

Taylor is also the number one person.

Lily is even more incredible, her father is the legendary British singer Phil Collins, and her mother is the president of the Hollywood Women's Club in Beverly Hills.

Who would dare to bully her?

Lily said with some embarrassment, "It's not a big deal, Taylor just makes a big fuss." ”

"No!" Taylor glared at her with some hatred, "You're a big idiot, you've almost been deceived!

"What the hell is going on?" Donn frowned.

Lily didn't speak.

Taylor said in a hurry: "Didn't Lily star in "Hunting", she has some little fame, and she received a lot of invitations to Beverly's weekend parties. ”

Tang En immediately straightened up: "Many of those parties are very informal, you can't mess around!"

Lily hurriedly said: "I didn't mess around, I told my mother everything, and she agreed." ”

Even her mother agreed, it must be a very formal social party, what else could happen?

Don was puzzled.

Taylor said angrily, "There were a lot of people at the party who accosted her...... It's not a big deal, but there's one person with bad intentions! Lily, say it yourself!"

"No need......"

Lily was a little reluctant.

Tang En's face became serious at once, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Does anyone dare to beat your idea? Don't you know that you are still a minor?"

He thought there was a man coveting her beauty.

Lily hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, it's not a man, it's a ...... It's a woman, and she's also an actor in the circle. ”

Don was even more confused.

What can a woman have ill intentions?

Engage in cheering?

Lily said: "She asked me if I wanted to be better and become a better woman, and of course I said yes. And she said...... She introduced me to an organization for women's equal rights, which has training courses specifically for women, and there are many elite ladies among them. Everyone can learn together, discuss together, and improve together. ”

"Women's affirmative action?"

Don blinked, his brow furrowed.

Why is this argument so familiar?

Taylor hurriedly said: "What kind of public welfare organization for women's equal rights, in my opinion, it is a scam, it is a fraud and a fraud of money!"

Lily retorted, "Didn't you say it, there is course training, and if you want to take classes, you have to hire a teacher, and it will definitely cost money." That sister is a good person, with a very kind attitude, not like a bad person. ”

Taylor was speechless, gritted his teeth, and said, "You are really a rich lady, can you understand the sinister truth of people's hearts? Who still writes good and bad conduct on their faces? Even if the training course costs money, it can still cost 1 million dollars? Crazy, right?"

Lily said innocently: "I said, it's a public welfare organization. There are a lot of poor people who want to have free courses. And I just ...... If you don't lack money, you naturally have to pay more to help those poor women and give them the opportunity to take classes to improve themselves. ”

Taylor slapped his head, collapsed directly, and said speechlessly: "Lily, I see that you used to be protected too well under the shadow of your parents, and you didn't know the real social environment at all. Can you believe such a ridiculous statement? Since it is a non-profit organization, why don't teachers do public welfare? Why don't they teach for free?"

Don pulled one of them and took them to the office area to rest, listening to their chattering and arguing, and suddenly something came to mind.

That night two days ago, he went to Larry Ellison's house as a guest, and his baby daughter, Megan Ellison, ...... How similar is it to Lily Collins at this time?

The same is an equal rights organization for women!

It's also asking for a huge franchise fee!

Could it be the same group?

"Lily, what's the name of that actress you're talking about?"

"Alison Mac. ”

Done's eyes tightened.

Sure enough, it was her!

"Acted in "Smallville"?"

Lily Collinton was stunned and a little dazed, "Do you know her?"

Tang En sneered, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a fraudster in the entertainment industry!"

"Fraudster!"

Hearing Done's words, Taylor jumped up excitedly, his little face flushed, and he said happily: "Donn, you say she's a fraudster?

Don smiled and stroked the smooth hair on her forehead, and said approvingly, "That's right, Taylor has grown up, it's great!"

Taylor shook his head, smug.

Lily's face suddenly became bitter, "No...... No, she looks good. ”

Taylor snorted lightly: "I said a long time ago, you are a young lady who has never experienced the cruelty of real society. The real wealthy ladies are very young and have to break away from the family protection and be self-reliant, so that they can grow up healthily. ”

Lily was not convinced: "I am healthy!"

Taylor scolded her: "It's an idiot too!"

Lily was teary-eyed, very aggrieved and snuggled in Don's arms, pouting pitifully, looking for comfort.

Don laughed and bowed his head and kissed it.

Girls, there's nothing wrong with being stupid and cute.

Little Taylor is just too clever.

However, this thing ...... It's not over!
