Chapter 0501 Step by step, receive Fang Yihua
It took a morning for Li Wenxing to finally arrange all the plans for Superstar Pictures in the near future.
Next, it is time to wait for a few expected partners, such as Lucas, Claire, Camilla, and Uncle Shao Liu, to give a reply.
Well, the implementation of plans related to the film seems to have come to a standstill, and Li Wenxing doesn't even have anything to do.
Then, considering that he must not waste his time like this, after a little thought, Li Wenxing was ready to start the relevant plan of Superstar Records (United States).
The three steps to a plan couldn't be simpler:
First of all, I made a phone call to Hoshino Records in Tokyo, found Miyuki Nakajima, who was working on creation in the recording studio, and invited her to come to Los Angeles for a meeting.
Then, he called Superstar Records (Xiangjiang) and informed Chen Shufen to arrange for Zhen Fu to come to the United States as soon as possible and release her third album.
Finally, he instructed his secretary Carla to find the CAA branch staff downstairs and get information about the record industry and several singers that he had ordered them to investigate.
When the information was brought up, Li Wenxing couldn't help but fall into deep thought after reading it carefully,
And then, this state of thinking lasted for one day, three days, five days,
In the blink of an eye, it was already the night of the 26th.
In the five days that Li Wenxing was concentrating on thinking, "Star Wars" officially started filming in the Tunisian desert on the 22nd.
Li Wenxing deliberately sent Tang Shuxuan over, ostensibly to let her act as Lucas's personal assistant, but in fact, to ask her to give encouragement to Lucas, who will be hit harder in the future.
He still remembers reading an article in his previous life, "Lucas and Star Wars", which described Lucas's various encounters during the filming of the first "Star Wars".
If the historical trajectory is not deviated, then in the next half a month, Lucas will suffer an unprecedented blow, not only the filming did not go well, but also was coerced by Fox's side,
As a result, it is the best time for Superstar Pictures to secretly pick peaches,
When Lucas experienced the difference between warm and cold, on the one hand, the filming schedule of the crew was greatly delayed, and he was subjected to harsh criticism and high pressure from Fox;
On the other hand, he received Tang Shuxuan's greetings and the strong support of Superstar Pictures.
I believe that at that time, Lucas will know how to choose,
Tang Shuxuan brought a check and a contract, and Li Wenxing gave her the autonomy to act cheaply, as long as she seized a certain suitable opportunity, she would definitely sign Lucas.
In addition, in the past five days, Miyuki Nakajima and Zhen Fu came together, and Li Wenxing arranged them in the half-level villa in Culver City.
However, instead of arranging a job for them, they were given three days off to let them go out to play and relax.
It was also in these five days that Claire officially signed a contract to star in "Tomb Raider",
Similarly, she also signed a contract with CAA Agency, and CAA will have full authority to take care of her acting career in the future.
Compared with the brokerage companies in the mainland in later generations, the broker system of the United States has very loose restrictions on artists.
To be precise, the agent only serves the artist, not directly for the artist, and can even force the female artist to accompany the guest or something.
Normally, the agent will provide some opportunities for artists to perform and audition for movies, and if artists want to fight for this opportunity, they should work their own.
If the artist voluntarily obeys the former rules, it has nothing to do with the agent, the agent earns a commission, and when the artist gets an employment contract, he takes money from the salary.
Therefore, Claire's signing with CAA went well, including her mother, who had no doubts.
And being able to sign with a regular brokerage company is much better than the agent they found privately to run a single shift, even though the agent has also joined the CAA.
After all, the strength of formal brokerage companies will only be stronger, and there will be more opportunities for signed artists, whether it is for agents engaged in brokerage work, or for artists, signing in is their best choice.
In the past five days, Camilla's side still hasn't replied.
However, Li Wenxing has long stopped paying attention to this matter, because he has more important things to do.
The sun sets and the sun rises, and the time comes to March 27th.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wenxing met with Ms. Fang Yihua, a representative of Shaw Brothers Film Company from Xiangjiang, at the front desk of the company hall.
This time she came to the United States, Ms. Fang, who was respectfully called the sixth aunt in the later Xiangjiang film and television circles, came on behalf of Uncle Shao Liu to negotiate with Li Wenxing on the cooperation in the filming of "Tomb Raider" and other films.
Of course, before negotiating, we must first examine the strength of the superstar company.
Although Li Wenxing has opened several companies in Xiangjiang, the benefits are also good, including companies on the island of Japan, and he has made some achievements.
But since the two sides are going to cooperate, especially if Li Wenxing takes the initiative to invite him, it is impossible for the Shaw Brothers to agree to this matter immediately, and they have to investigate it first.
To this end, the Shaw Brothers also held a director and screenwriter conference to study the three scripts that Li Wenxing asked Wang Mingying to bring.
In the end, I came to the conclusion that I couldn't eat accurately.
Indeed, Shaw Brothers has never made a similar adventure movie, let alone such a large-scale production, and the movie "Tomb Raider" alone is a budget of 12 million dollars.
With such a huge investment, 60 million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie, in the current Xiangjiang, all the people in the film industry, one is counted as one, let alone doing, and I haven't even thought about it.
I couldn't get a clear reply from my subordinates, and after thinking about it again and again, in the end, Uncle Shao Liu decided to talk about it first.
He also admitted that Li Wenxing, a young boy, does have a set of entertainment aspects, not only playing in Xiangjiang, but also going to Ridao for three months, and making a bigger disturbance than Xiangjiang.
So since Li Wenxing dares to spend such a large amount of money to make such a movie, at least it proves that he is somewhat sure, otherwise he can't say it, and he is not stupid.
Well, of course, it could also be that this young man was inflated, dazzled by the success of the last year, and began to play big moves constantly.
But in either case, there's absolutely no harm in talking about it first.
Li Wenxing took the initiative to invite each other, and there was always sincerity in cooperation, inviting Shaw Brothers, but not inviting Jiahe, this is sincerity.
It's definitely not good to refuse directly, maybe he will find Jiahe and the group of two or five boys when he turns around,
As for whether the cooperation can be negotiated and what it will look like, we can only know after we have talked about it.
In this way, he made up his mind, in order to act safely, Uncle Shao decided to send his concubine Fang Yihua to come to the country.
This is to investigate Li Wenxing's situation in the United States for him, and second, to come forward to talk to Li Wenxing about cooperation on his behalf.
At that time, if the two sides talk successfully, it doesn't matter if the negotiation fails, there is a Fang Yihua in the middle, so as not to hurt the peace.
As a result, there was Fang Yihua's trip to the United States, the investigation at this time, and Li Wenxing's personal reception.
