Chapter 734: Hollywood giants are nothing remarkable

Early the next morning, Jiang Xia followed Cheng Xin to the Paramount headquarters. Super fast and stable update, this article was first published by

As Paramount, which is the oldest of the eight major Hollywood companies, is naturally a little arrogant, and it is a little difficult for ordinary foreign bosses and filmmakers to enter this threshold.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia and Cheng Xin are not ordinary people, just Cheng Xin's status as the only daughter of China's richest man is enough for Paramount to take seriously, not to mention that Cheng Xin also owns shares in Paramount, and Jiangxia is an important part of Paramount's new series of movies.

The movie "Falling" is a highly excavable movie, the angel legion, the demon legion, the overseas human legion, the epic war of the three parties, it is very enjoyable to think about. Even after the main story is filmed, you can continue to dig new subplots to enrich the story and enrich the entire world view.

However, Paramount's only mistake, or one mistake that he didn't expect, was to use an actor like Jiang Xia, casually going to a cameo role that he thought was unimportant, and then after listening to Will talk about the follow-up development, Paramount's people were stunned.

If the results of "Falling" are poor, it will be forgotten, but the results are really good, with a cost of less than 200 million US dollars and a global box office of 640 million US dollars, it is another blockbuster movie. With Hollywood's pee, it's impossible to get a sequel.

The plot of the sequel, no matter how it is circumvented, cannot bypass Geralt played by Jiang Xia.

Geralt is the promoter of the entire "falling" battle, the sharp soldier of overseas forces, and left such a big suspense at the end of the first part, so in the second part, he must have him to solve the suspense, Geralt must star, and he must be the original character.

Since the original character is requested, Paramount is in pain.

They contacted Jiangxia's brokerage company Hengying and found that Hengying had business dealings with them, and Hengying's boss Cheng Xin was still a shareholder of Paramount, thinking that this would be a good thing to discuss.

The fact makes Paramount people a little suspicious of life, this is an invitation from Paramount, one of the eight giant companies in Hollywood, and they all promised an Asian actor male lead, and the other party even said that he would consider it? Paramount really wants to pat his chest and stiffen his waist to say, love doesn't come.

However, Paramount's waist is really not hard now.

Will the screenwriter of "Falling" has made it clear that even if Geralt doesn't come out in the second part, the third part will inevitably have his role, which is designed from the beginning of the story, even if Geralt is written to death in the follow-up story, there will be Geralt's influence everywhere, and when the time comes, will the actor say his lines dryly? Is this still "Falling"? There are a few memories, and Jiang Xia will have to play it when the time comes.

can't avoid Jiangxia, you have to invite Jiangxia to shoot the second part.

Paramount had no choice but to continue to contact Hengying, and Cheng Xin promised to continue to talk to Jiang Xia, and was invited to Paramount to meet with Paramount's senior management to discuss this issue.

When Paramount's senior management asked why Jiang Xia didn't come to act. Cheng Xin showed them Jiang Xia's resume, and then talked about Jiang Xia's temperament and goals.

Paramount felt that it was tricky, this is a guy who doesn't eat oil and salt, he lacks nothing, and the attraction of making a leading role in Hollywood is not as attractive as making a movie by others. People have a clear goal, to bring their movies to Hollywood and win the Oscars. Although Paramount's people felt unlikely, they also felt Jiang Xia's determination.

How can such a person be strategized?

The day before yesterday, as soon as I heard that Jiang Xia was in the United States, Paramount's senior management immediately decided to invite Jiang Xia to come to Paramount, no matter what Jiang Xia asked, he would agree, as long as he agreed to star in "Falling 2", if possible, it would be better to sign "Falling 3" in a row.

Because of the appeal to Jiang Xia, when Jiang Xia arrived, Jiang Xia was greeted by three high-level Paramounts, all of whom were high-level executives who could not be seen by ordinary stars.

The three of them were extremely polite to Jiang Xia, and their good attitude was terrifying, which made Jiang Xia quite uncomfortable.

At the same time, it also made Jiang Xia deeply feel that Hollywood companies are really nothing remarkable, and as a giant in the film industry, there are times when they are greeted with such a polite smile.

In the end, Jiang Xia said bluntly: "I know your difficulties, and I didn't expect that I would be on top of a random missing role, it would be so important." Personally, I don't really like to star in other people's movies, but in this series, I can star in it, but there are a few conditions. ”

You say. ”

"First, I have the right to change the lines of the script. ”

"No problem, I heard Mr. Weir say that Mr. Jiang is also a well-known screenwriter and writer in China, so there must be no problem. ”

"Well, second, maybe in a few years, I'll use Paramount's casting system to select actors for me, and hopefully there won't be any difficulties when the time comes. ”

"There is no difficulty. ”

"Very good, thirdly, if my film is released in the United States, I hope to get Paramount's support, and as a concession, I can reduce my salary. ”

"No problem, as long as Mr. Jiang's film is confident that it will be released in North America, then Paramount will definitely fully support it. ”

"That's no problem, it's a pleasure to work with. ”

After the decision was made, the follow-up was very simple, Jiang Xia signed a contract with Paramount, and all three requirements were written into the contract, and the term of the contract was ten years. In other words, within ten years, Jiangxia can have a chance to use Paramount's casting system to select actors and actresses all over the world, and at the same time, within ten years, any of Jiangxia's movies released in North America will be supported by Paramount.

Coming out of Paramount, Cheng Xin asked Jiang Xia: "Paramount's casting system, which movie do you have in mind to make?"

"It's just an idea, whether it can be implemented or not depends on the situation and precautions. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Actually, you don't need to ask to cooperate with Paramount, I have already purchased a cinema company and a film production company in the United States, and I can go through my line when the time comes. Cheng Xin said.

"You're so fast. Jiang Xia was stunned.

Cheng Xin said: "I can't be the master alone, it is the development strategy of Hengyu Group, and North America also needs to be strategic." Cinemas are the lifeblood, and they must have their own cinemas, and this cinema company is not enough, and it will be acquired one after another in the next few years, striving to increase the number of screens to 1,000. ”

"It's so capricious to be rich. Jiang Xia only smiled.

"Are you going back to New York next?" asked Cheng Xin.

"Yes, stay for a few days, and then fly directly to Xiangjiang, go back and finish filming the gambler, you can breathe a sigh of relief, and the gambling trilogy will be completed. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

Cheng Xin said curiously: "I really want to know, what are you going to shoot after the gambling film is filmed?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Jiang Xia said, "I want to make a drama that can win awards, a brilliant drama." Even if you win an actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, it's still an actor, isn't it?"

"That's all you have to offer, go get the Golden Horse Award, go get the Palme d'Or, go get the Silver Bear. Cheng Xin said.

Jiang Xia said: "It depends." ”

In Jiang Xia's heart, the movie after the gambling film will inevitably make a movie that wins awards, but what to make, he really didn't think about it, in terms of personal inclination, he wants to make something more commercial, commercial movies have such and such problems, but after all, there are audiences who love to watch them, but he also knows that too commercial movies, even if they can win awards, they will definitely not get relatively high awards.

really says that the award is relatively high, and if you want to pull out a good movie like a radish in Chinese films, it can only be said that there is a movie, a monument in the entire history of Chinese film, and a work with the highest achievement. It's just that Jiang Xia wants to wait for Gong Shan, and wait for Gong Shan to come before shooting.

Therefore, Jiang Xia's current goal is only to focus on the actor trophies of several awards in China, first sweep the country flat, and then talk about it, you can't be like Gong Shan, sweeping the outside, but you can't get the actress at home.

Jiangxia regards the trophies in various places as an upgraded route, with domestic as the junior, Europe as the senior, and Oscar as the ultimate.

For the awards in these three different places, Jiangxia also planned a route for himself, and won awards in China, relying on classic commercial films. Europe has always loved literary films, and of course they have to go to various film festivals to make literary films and feature films or something to win awards. As for the Oscars, Jiang Xia has too many ways to impact, just two movies by truck drivers can impact the best director and the best picture, the difficulty is nothing more than the actor, he hasn't figured out how to impact.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Xin, Jiang Xia didn't stay at all that day, and got on the plane to New York directly.

"To speed up acquisitions, the cinema chain in North America must master a thousand screens. Jiang Xia has to cooperate with others this time with all the golden armor in the city, borrowing others to release it in North America, I came to talk about it in person, and I ran so many places to win 1,400 screens, I don't want to be bullied like this again. Cheng Xin instructed Xue Yandao.

"Mr. Cheng, it's already the fastest speed, and Hengyu's funds have to be mobilized. Xue Yan said.

"Then try your best. Cheng Xin said.

When Jiang Xia returned to New York, it was already late at night, and for two days in a row, he flew back and forth from east to west and from west to east, Jiang Xia was also very tired, and on the second day after returning to New York, he didn't follow Zhang Pengpeng and them to class, but lay at home for a day.

said that he was a house, but in fact, he was also busy with work, Jiang Xia did start to seriously think about what he should make in Hengying's fifth movie, there are so many award-winning movies, which one is the most suitable for him to make?

Try to make a movie in Xiangjiang, don't run back, it's relatively simple to shoot, and it's easy for people to use.

But in the same way, there are so many award-winning Xiangjiang movies, which one to make?

Just when Jiangxia was struggling with this problem, in a variety show in China, a song by Jiangxia suddenly became popular, and it was very popular, instantly popular all over the country, and the airborne hot song list and new song list ranked first.
