Luc Besson knew that Zhang Ran had a strong temper, but he still reminded: "I think we can talk about it, talk to them now, they will definitely offer more favorable conditions than before, and we can make more money!"

Zhang Ran shook his head lightly: "They can deceive us once and they can deceive us twice, not that they will tear up the contract again, but it is possible that they may do something in the process of issuance." They have their own media and channels, and they advertise through their media, and they don't have the final say on the cost of advertising, and we don't have the ability to regulate it, and they can also do things about DVD distribution! I don't want to sue them because of this!"

Luc Besson nodded, many Hollywood movies that Germans participated in investing in were obviously very good at the box office, but in the end, they were losing money, and investors couldn't share the money at all, in fact, they used this method. You don't have a way to effectively regulate the distribution of Hollywood studios, so many companies work with Hollywood to sell rights directly, rather than split the bill. He muttered: "Then I'll contact other distribution companies in Hollywood, but large companies have their own blockbusters to release in the summer, and they may not take over, I'm afraid I can only find medium-sized distribution companies!"

In fact, Miramax was originally selected to be responsible for the distribution in North America, in addition to Harvey's better conditions, a very important reason is that Miramax will not have a movie released in the summer next year, and he can go all out to distribute it.

Zhang Ran nodded and said: "It's best if there are big companies to take over, if not, Lionsgate and these companies can also do it." Forget about the new line, I heard that they cheated Peter Jackson for money on "The Lord of the Rings", and now Jackson is going to sue them. I can only ask you about the release, and this matter must be finalized as much as possible!"

Luc Besson said: "Leave the distribution to me, you can make the movie with peace of mind!"

Then. The assistant director came over to inform Zhang Ran that the preparations for filming had been made and he was ready to shoot officially. Zhang Ran sat down in front of the monitor again and shouted loudly, "Each group prepares." Power on!"

Harvey and Jacobson waited outside the crew for more than four hours, waiting until eight o'clock in the evening when the crew came out of the studio. When the two of them saw Zhang Ran, they quickly got out of the car and greeted them.

Jacobson tore up the contract, but failed to get the rights to the Time Soldier. It's equivalent to throwing 10 million for nothing. If this matter is not handled well, she will not only become a laughing stock in the industry, but also unable to explain it to the board of directors. The only way is to regain the copyright of "Time and Space Warrior", even if you don't make much money in the end, it is better than throwing 10 million for nothing!

In the shopping mall, face is never as important as money, not to mention that it does not matter whether it is related to one's own face or one's own position. So even if she is ridiculed by Zhang Ran, she has to take the copyright of the movie again.

Harvey is not as eager as Jacobson, but "Time Warrior" is of good quality and will definitely make money. He still wanted to get the distribution rights in his hands again, and said with a smile: "Zhang, you are really hard to see!"

Zhang Ran heard Luc Besson say one thing, Jet Li finished filming "Dragon's Kiss", and producer Chasman took the movie to Hollywood, and found a manager of the Big Six to talk about American copyrights, but was left to dry by the manager for a full hour. After two years, Jet Li's movies sold well in the United States, and the manager came to Jet Li and wanted to ask him to act in a movie. Thereupon. Jet Li hung the manager for two hours, and then asked him, "Don't you be angry!" The manager said with a smile: "Don't be angry, it should be, it should be!"

Hollywood is a particularly realistic place. Especially Hollywood's entry and film dealers, if you can make money, he can kneel down and call you grandpa; if you can't make money, no matter how brilliant the past is, you are a bunch of ****!

The scene in front of me is really a bit similar to the scene depicted by Luc Besson!

Zhang Ran said enthusiastically: "Yo." Isn't this Harvey, why are you here? I think you've been fat, you must have been in a good mood lately, aren't you? Ms. Jacobson is there, too, she looks like she's more than ten years younger, and you can't tell you're sixty!"

The corners of Jacobson's mouth twitched, damn it, the old lady is only fifty, okay? Harvey snorted: "Zhang, you really know how to joke! The filming of the movie is still smooth, right?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Shun lì, very smooth lì, I picked up 10 million for nothing, it's just too smooth." Are you coming to me for something? Won't you send me money again?"

Jacobson's heart tingled, and Zhang Ran's words were like knives poking directly into her heart, which was completely a slap in the face, without giving any face!

Harvey smiled awkwardly, but he was thick-skinned: "You can say that, but this is not the place to talk, let's find a place to sit down and talk, shall we?"

Zhang Ran shrugged his shoulders, his face full of helplessness: "No, my student has a birthday today, and we have to give him a birthday party in a while, and there is no time." If you have anything, you can say it directly, and I will leave when you finish speaking!"

The embarrassment on Harvey's face flashed: "Zhang, we are very optimistic about you, and we are also very optimistic about your movie." We are here today to talk to you about cooperation!"

Zhang Ran was not polite to them, and directly turned on the mockery mode: "Of course, if you are not optimistic, you will not give me 10 million in vain, but forget about cooperation." To be honest, I can't trust you, and I don't want to work with you anymore!"

Jacobson was stabbed again, and she wanted to say that if it weren't for 10 million, who would want to talk to you, a damn Qing Guokee! But she knew that now was not the time to lose her temper, so she held back the anger in her heart.

Harvey's smile was even more embarrassed: "Zhang, I think there may be a misunderstanding between us, let's find a place to have a good chat, any misunderstanding can be solved!"

Zhang Ran said indifferently: "Harvey, there is no misunderstanding between us! How can there be a misunderstanding between us? Of course, if it is a misunderstanding to be able to pick up 10 million for nothing, I hope that such misunderstandings will come more often!"

Jacobson's face turned green, she has been in this circle for more than 20 years, DreamWorks and Disney have stayed, and now she is the boss of Bowei, but she was slapped in the face again and again by a Chinese boy, she really couldn't bear it, and said coldly: "Zhang, don't forget that this is Hollywood." It won't do you any good to offend a big company like Disney! Today we are here with sincerity, don't be ignorant!"

Zhang Ran sneered: "I know, you said the same thing last time, but what about the result? This world is so big that you can't cover the sky with one hand!"

Zhang Ran naturally heard the threat in Jacobson's words, but he didn't care at all. Most of the money for this film is through guò financial operations, and the actual investment is more than 20 million, even if it is not distributed in North America. There will be no loss. He himself has no plans to develop in Hollywood, he doesn't care at all!

Harvey sighed and said, "Zhang, you're fighting hard. You are a very talented director, and if you work with us, you will shine on the Oscar stage!"

Zhang Ran suddenly laughed, he is not an old planner, and he has no obsession with Oscar. What he wants is actually very simple, which is to make the movie he wants to make happily: "The Oscar is a good thing, but that's it." If I have to talk about longing, the ten-year ranking of "Sight and Hearing" is what I want. I'm not demanding. If you can get me into the top 50 and work with you, can you do it?"

Harvey almost didn't vomit out a mouthful of old blood, you still call it undemanding, so what does it mean to be demanding?

Sight & Sound is a film magazine run by the British Film Institute, which has organised a poll of the top 10 classic films every 10 years since 1952 with the participation of film professionals from all over the world. After the votes of these people are summarized, the top 50 films in film history are obtained.

In 2002, "Sight and Sound" organized more than 800 film critics and directors around the world to conduct its sixth selection, and among the 50 best films selected, only three films were made after 90 years. Abbas's "Close-up", Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love", David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive". The others are all pre-90s films, most of which are black and white. These films are classics of film history that have stood the test of time and have had an important impact on subsequent generations of films and directors.

This list is a selection of 50 films from all the world. Most of them are art films, and even a big director like Spielberg is not eligible to make the list. A newcomer like Zhang Ran wants to be on this list, how different is it from dreaming!

Harvey knew that Zhang Ran was deliberately embarrassing himself, and said helplessly: "Zhang, we really want to talk to you today, please don't perfunctory us." ”

"Since you say so. Then I'll get straight to the point. Zhang Ran smiled, and then said lightly, "My heart is very fragile and easily hurt, because of this incident, my heart has been victimized by Yanzhòng." I don't have anything else to ask for, and I want Michael Eisner to apologize to me!

Harvey frowned and said helplessly: "Zhang, you know this is impossible!"

Michael Eisner has been the character who provoked the banner of Disney since the death of Disney Sr., and for 20 years of ups and downs, Disney has changed from the boss of the eight major film companies to the boss, and has made great contributions to the glory of Disney. Because of this, Eisner has firmly established the role of godfather in the Disney world. Who can compete with him? Who would dare to compete with him? Now Eisner is a well-known tyrant at Disney, arbitrary, and self-serving. Will the tyrant think he is wrong? Will the tyrant apologize to a Chinese? It's a dream!

Zhang Ran said seriously: "This is my condition! I just want an apology, if it can't be done, then we have nothing to talk about!"

Harvey sighed and said, "If you do this, you are not a qualified businessman at all!"

Zhang Ran looked at him and said seriously: "You are right, I am not a qualified businessman, and I have never regarded myself as a businessman, I am just a director! Some people say that directors are paranoid, this is right, at least I am!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran stared at Jacobson and said coldly: "You deliberately tore up the contract and led the bank to withdraw capital, and now you are on the blacklist, even if you have a pre-sale contract in your hand, it will be difficult to get a loan from the bank in the future, and even the insurance company is restricted from providing me with a guarantee for the completion of the film, and it will be very difficult for me to make a film and want to raise money." Cutting off someone's future, like killing your parents! Now I want to see you unlucky!"

Jacobson couldn't hold his breath on his chest, he couldn't help but feel hot, and he forgot what calming was, and scolded: "Damn Qing Guoke, you will regret your choice today!"

Zhang Ran was not angry, but laughed: "I don't know if I will regret it, but I know that you will definitely regret it now! Thank you for 10 million, Jacobson girl! I wish you a good night!"

After speaking, Zhang Ran owed a debt to Jacobson, and then turned around and left.
