If you are familiar with some interesting news, you should remember that there is a news article on a certain portal that is written like this.

In December 2005, Rosemead, California, USA, a film company with a lot of production experience officially auctioned on a well-known website, with a starting price of $100,000.

The owner of the company claimed that the company had no debts and that the bidder would receive all the rights to all the films, pictures, materials, and 12,000 long-colored DVDs owned by the company, as well as more than $350,000 worth of equipment, including cameras, lighting systems, decoration systems, office equipment, computers, monitors, and a detailed list of distributors of the film. The company also owns several luxury single-family homes where you can make any kind of movie you want, and there is also a house that is famous and has been on a celebrity reality show, and of course, you can also use these houses to have a party if you want.

The seller also claimed that the bidder had access to all the popular stars, that the company had almost all the truthful information about them, and that it also had close ties with Playboy XM Satellite TV......

Anyway, as long as you buy this company and the bid is successful, then you can immediately produce the adult @ person movie you want, and you will make a lot of money soon, proper!

And this anecdote did not report the follow-up, this company did auction, and the auction was successful, and the bidder was Wu Xiang!

After spending $200,000, Wu Xiang finally defeated all his opponents. Got this company. However, because Wu Xiang himself is not an American, in this field. People in our country want to participate directly, even if it's a @person movie, it's more difficult, you can be an actor, but if you want to be the boss, it's very difficult.

And at this time, Sam Mendes played a key role. The film company became a foreign-owned enterprise, with British and French investment.

Neil Street and M6 co-invested in the @man film company, of course. This is said to the outside, of course, no one has a concert to talk about this, after all, this is a bit strange.

When Wu Xiang proposed this plan. Sam Mendes almost didn't laugh off his big teeth. He really didn't expect that Wu Xiang would use this method to open his own film company in Hollywood, which was too imaginative.

In fact, this is also forced to have no choice, it is too responsible to follow the normal procedure, and in fact, there are many Hollywood film companies, in addition to well-known large companies. There are many small companies like cow hair, but there are not many small companies that really have connotation. It's more of the kind of real leather bag company.

After the online auction of this company, Wu Xiang once made a field trip, (this, but I really don't want to watch and learn from the experience of other people's filming into @ people's movies, don't think too much, at most I just learned a few tricks), and people are really quite expected. But it's not as good as they say, what kind of photography equipment worth 350,000 US dollars, it's all old goods, and it's okay to make a general definition adult @ person movie, but if it's really a movie, it's pure.

But 200,000 US dollars is already very cheap, and the most important thing is that this is equivalent to buying a shell, and the advantage of this shell is that it can leave Wu Xiang with a lot of procedures and a lot of time, and he can directly use this shell to make movies.

Now Wu Xiang has a film company in Hollywood, although it is a former Cheng@Renpai film company, and then there is a partner, Sam Mendes, in addition, there is a partner who can help sales, that is, Miramax.

The one-stop production, supply and marketing has basically been completed.

Why do you have to open a film company in Hollywood? Can't you just make a film under the name of 307?

Yes, no.

It's not that 307's films can't enter the United States, but it's more difficult to get in, and Wu Xiang has experienced this more than once, right?

And it would be much better to have your own Hollywood studio, it would be much easier to enter the market, although there was also censorship, and there was a rating system, but it was much better than coming from outside, much more convenient.

One more thing, that is, don't forget, people in our country, including movie fans, including many, many people, at this stage in 06, feel good about American blockbusters and Hollywood blockbusters.

As long as it's a Hollywood film, it's a good film!

This is the almost normal view of domestic movie fans.

In fact, there are many bad movies in Hollywood, but our country introduces fewer movies every year, so they naturally give you good movies, which has cultivated the psychology of fans to worship foreign countries.

To be honest, in terms of movies, there is nothing to say about this psychology, because there are many reasons for its formation, and we also have our own problems.

In fact, it can also be generalized, not only movies, but also domestic products are facing this problem.

Even if it is produced domestically, many people still like to buy foreign brands, as long as the brand is foreign, it is good, it is good!

We have to admit that there is a gap, but this gap is actually shrinking, shrinking.

Wu Xiang has feelings about this matter, isn't he riding a mountain bike, this is the case in the field of mountain bikes, as long as it is a foreign brand, then the riders just think it is good, feel like, even if it is outrageously expensive, that person is also expensive and reasonable.

And just take advantage of this heart, some domestic manufacturers have made smarter tricks.

That is to register a brand in the United States, but in fact it is just a brand, empty shell, production and design are all carried out in China.

Don't say it, this trick is really good, very good, as long as it is not exposed, as long as it does not leak the bottom, then this brand is fine!

In this world, many truths are common, and Wu Xiang has just learned from the advanced experience of others this time, so that he not only enters Hollywood, but also has a great possibility of returning to China.

As for the production capacity of this Cheng@Ren Film Company, let's leave him alone for now. After all, Wu Xiang has extended his tentacles to Hollywood, which is a major breakthrough.

So with all the film companies, should we make a movie?

That's right. It's really time to make a movie, and Wu Xiang is also ready to make an original Hollywood blockbuster.

And this film will be the first step for Wu Xiang to launch an attack on Hollywood!

"This script, this ......" Sam Mendes didn't understand the script that Wu Xiang handed him, of course, it wasn't because Wu Xiang's script was written in Chinese characters, it was all English letters. It's just that Sam has some doubts in his heart.

"Do you think you can't shoot it? there is no future?" Wu Xiang was very confident in his script, and he didn't believe that Sam would not understand it.

"This script gave me a very strange feeling, very strange. I don't know what the hell you think, why do you want to make this kind of film about the parallel world?" Sam voiced his doubts.

Parallel Epoch?

It is undeniable that in fact, the real script itself does not have any readability and story. That's not fiction. But you can see the parallel world from the script, so to speak, is Wu Xiang's script going to talk about the theory of the parallel world?

"Just say, do you want to invest money or not? I'll listen to your conclusion, I'm not interested in anything else. Wu Xiang smiled and said what he cared about.

"Of course I do!" Sam immediately showed his attitude, and he also mentioned, "What is your budget for this film? I can invest up to £5 million now." ”

I have to say, Sam Mendes. He's a poor ghost!

Well, in fact, Wu Xiang understands. This is the Western concept of financial management, generally speaking, they do not put all their eggs in one basket, because investments are risky.

"Okay! 5 million, you said, that's enough!"

This is equivalent to getting the investment from the UK, but a Hollywood movie, the production cost, 5 million pounds, is really not enough to watch, and the investment is risky, Wu Xiang does not want to take this risk alone, in fact, to put it bluntly, he does not have so much money.

So how much does a Hollywood movie cost?

"The budget for this movie, I think it's almost 30 million US dollars, how much is Mira ready to invest?"

After getting Sam Mendes, Wu Xiang went to find Miramax, naturally, after some procedures, Wu Xiang let people read his script, and he also directly said his purpose.

I have cooperated with Wu Xiang many times before, of course, it is all about the 'previous dynasty', but now the gentleman in charge of Miramax's work, named Brown, also attaches great importance to the cooperative relationship with Wu Xiang, so the matter of this script is not lazy.

Actually, he can't ignore it, because Miramax is basically in a state of erosion now.

As soon as the Weinstein brothers left, the other high-level executives also ran away, including the famous Jon Gordon, who is still quite famous in Hollywood, that is to say, most of the capable people are gone, so what about this company?

Now there is a chance, Wu Xiang gave this Brown a chance, you can use a drop of Miramax's last blood, if it happens, this company may still be saved.

Brown is naturally parachuted in from Disney, and if it doesn't sound good, it's just a mess and wiping someone else's ass, which is equivalent to a distribution.

can be distributed and distributed, he is not without any ability, but this right......

"5 million US dollars, what do you think, MR Wu?" As soon as Brown finished saying this, he himself broke out in a cold sweat, this guy is not thin, there are many fat people in the United States, although the real rich people are in good shape, but Brown is obviously not of that class.

Facing the sweaty Brown, Wu Xiang was actually already scolding in his heart, what a waste!

But now I can't tear my face with others, Wu Xiang is on the side of the US imperialists, and there really isn't much way to go, if you don't look for Miramax in the current crisis, will you go to the Weinstein brothers?

The wise don't do it!

"5 million dollars is okay, but I want Miramax to promise me one thing, I will hand over the release of this movie to you Mira, but there is a prerequisite, that is, it must be guaranteed, large-scale release, large-scale release must be arranged!"

Wu Xiang is tantamount to giving the most ultimatum, and his patience is also limited.

"That, we don't talk about this film schedule. ”

This Brown didn't tell a lie, they didn't count what they said about the film schedule, because there is a rule in the United States, that is, the producer of the movie, cannot affect the theater company, that is, the theater company must be separated from the producer.

In the past, American movies were basically the same producer and theater company, but at that time, the entire American movie was also one, and that company was called MGM.

That's right, MGM at that time was invincible in the world, not an ordinary giant, he was a monopoly, a complete monopoly. Other studios have, but not MGM's rivals, not at all.

But this development is not conducive to the healthy growth of an industry, and there is another legislation that has come out, that is, anti-monopoly, of course, the law in the United States is more strange, and there are more things to say, but in this way, MGM made a cut with the theater company, and the later result is known to everyone, MGM is getting more and more finished until it goes bankrupt.

However, the truth is such a truth, but people in this industry, who doesn't know that there are twists and turns in the road?

"MR Brown, you mean, you're not going to use Miramax's biggest resources for my film, are you?"

There are policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom, and this is not only the characteristic of our country, but also the US imperialism. Otherwise, some movies are released on a large scale, and some movies are just a handful of theaters and it's over, and among those movies that are released on a small scale, there are also many films with good reputations.

Film scheduling can determine the life and death of a movie, Wu Xiang wanted to bring Miramax in at the beginning, just to schedule the film, but now you say no to Lao Tzu?

"......" Brown sweated harder.

Wu Xiang was the most embarrassed and then came to a ruthless blow, "In this way, I still went to find my old friends Brother Weinstein, I believe they will be more interested in this film, although those two guys are not good people, but ......"

Wu Xiang wanted to say that he had no choice, but when it came to this, it was enough.

"Okay, MR Wu, I promise you, I'll do my best to fight for your movie!"

This Brown sent Wu Xiang to kneel......

So what is Wu Xiang's new film?

The name of this movie is "Source Code"! (To be continued......
