Chapter 478: The Mysterious Power of the East
After staying in Dongying for a week, taking Rie Miyazawa to meet with several future partners, and finalizing some issues, Wang Yao flew to Los Angeles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was an exaggerated Lincoln parked at the entrance of the airport, and the pot-bellied Harvey came over with two blonde beauties with legs longer than his waist to hug Wang Yao, "My boss, you miss me to death." ”
"I really can't see it at all. Wang Yao pushed him away in disgust, followed him into the car, and sighed, "You rich people are really luxurious." ”
"Don't say that, it's hypocritical. Harvey waved his hand and smiled, "Let's go to dinner first, I booked a good seat." ”
"Where's Hanks?" asked Wang Yao.
"He's still at school, he'll have to do it for a while. Harvey said.
"What's new lately?" Wang Yao fiddled with the red wine on the table.
"No, several major companies are unusually stable, and there is no action for the upcoming Oscars. Harvey shrugged, "But The Lord of the Rings seems inevitable." ”
Wang Yao nodded: "That's indeed a very good film." ”
"I believe you can go beyond it in minutes. Harvey laughed.
"Do you think I'm a god?" Wang Yao shook his head, "I've considered Fox's proposal, but let's still reject it, there is no shortage of funds and channels now, what we need is our work." ”
"The owner was so wise. Harvey smiled, "Now in terms of cash flow investment, we can indeed rank in the top ten in Hollywood, and in the face of the current economic situation, controlling cash means taking the lead." ”
"You capitalists just see something different. Wang Yao smiled, "I just think that the cooperation with Fox looks a bit like taking advantage of others, but in order to make up for it, I will help them make special effects for a movie, the cost is at the level of 30 million US dollars, no matter how high it is, I can't afford it." ”
"You are such a merciful little angel. Harvey grinned, "So I don't have to worry about them being sad, by the way, how did you talk to that old fellow?"
"Hayao Miyazaki, we had a great time chatting and it gave me a lot of inspiration. Wang Yao smiled, "Let's put down the cooperation between DC and Marvel, or let DreamWorks do it, just to ease their relationship, I am ready to plan a feature-length anime." ”
"Anime?" Harvey was stunned, "Boss, to be honest, we don't have an advantage in the competition in this field. ”
Wang Yao glanced at him, "It's that you don't have an advantage, I've studied the current comic market, and the setting penmanship is too simple, I will break this situation." ”
Harvey looked at Wang Yao with some surprise: "Boss, you seem to have changed." ”
Wang Yao was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"It's becoming aggressive. Harvey said, "What have you been through when you returned home this month? I don't see any big news about you." ”
"Don't keep thinking about making big news. "Wang Yao's head is full of black lines" The company is now financing so much, we have to be the first investor to be responsible. ”
Harvey blinked, "So I'm a little aggrieved, I was also an investor before, you didn't even think about being responsible for me." ”
Wang Yao looked at Harvey's resentful eyes and pouted, "It's not enough to make money while lying down." ”
Harvey laughed out loud, "Boss, your humor has gotten more." ”
Wang Yao shook his head helplessly, not understanding the laughter of the American imperialists.
"By the way, Sophie Marceau's chick is a bit crazy, and she brings up the budget again and again. Harvey whispered.
Wang Yao frowned: "How much did you mention?"
"20 percent." Harvey said.
Wang Yao calculated in his heart, "It's okay, she is self-aware, and besides, it's all grasshoppers on a rope." ”
"Boss, this thing is a woman. Harvey rubbed his hands.
"Okay, let's not discuss this. Wang Yao waved his hand, "It's been so long since 911, and there is no movement in your country?"
"Of course. But it's not just Christmas, it's been full of speeches and parades. Harvey rubbed his hands, "It feels like a war is coming." ”
Wang Yao frowned, it is difficult to distinguish between the entertainment industry and politics, especially in Hollywood, so he also has to make some judgments about the situation. To avoid unnecessary trouble, although there is no 'ban' after the implementation of the classification system at the American Imperialist Film Festival, there are still some rules to be followed.
"By the way, when it comes to this, there has been a pretty explosive news recently, another boy sued Michael Jackson for sexual harassment, which is the second case, and his reputation has been damaged again. Harvey said.
Wang Yao was stunned, Michael Jackson is one of the symbols of this era, Wang Yao naturally has in-depth research on him, including the model of modern opera is also partly derived from his marketing methods.
At the same time, he will naturally pay attention to some of his 'scandals' in recent years, Michael Jackson has a special care for children because of his unhappy childhood, and has established a children's paradise to realize the dreams of some children.
But in 1993, a boy's parents accused him of pedophilia and assaulted their son, which caused a shock in society at the time, and also caused Michael Jackson to suffer huge doubts and reputational damage.
But in the end, this matter was inexplicably 'unresolved', and it also became a doubt in many people's hearts, and it also made Michael Jackson fall from the altar.
Now that this incident has happened again, I'm afraid it's really going to ruin Michael Jackson's reputation.
"Are you familiar?" asked Wang Yao.
"He's a nice guy, he's a weird guy. Harvey hesitated, "He's the simplest person I've ever met, and at the same time the most complicated person." ”
Wang Yao frowned, "It's contradictory?"
"His success is not an accident, it is inevitable, and the times have created it. "It's his luck and his misfortune, he has the most miserable family relationship in the world." ”
Wang Yao nodded: "I see." ”
"What do you want to do?" asked Harvey, a little nervous.
"Don't worry. Wang Yao smiled and waved his hand.
"I've heard that you've set up a charity in your country, and it's on a large scale, and you and Michael are kind of similar in that way, both have a sense of dedication and responsibility for the future. Harvey said, "But that's not a reason for you to sympathize with him, you know, if there is no driving force behind this matter, this kind of thing can easily be overturned with Michael's ability, but he couldn't choose to do it before." ”
"I know the rules, and I'm not a kid. Wang Yao smiled, "But this kind of social Darwinian theory, as long as it is touched to the top of the food chain, it is fine." ”
Harvey was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Yao cautiously, "Do you get any support?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to do anything to worry you. Wang Yao smiled: "Is this the hotel?"
Harvey wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Brother, I have put the happiness of the rest of my life on you, don't mess around." ”
"How so. Wang Yao smiled, "However, can you arrange for us to meet?"
Harvey's face turned blue, and he fell into the chest of the blonde beauty behind him, crying "God, why did you treat me like this!"
After eating an authentic French meal, Wang Yao and Harvey went to another place, the new studio of Yaohua Company, Yaohua Company is now about 300 people, except for some publicity planning and the like, the rest are basically special effects artists.
Now there is no money in hand, otherwise Wang Yao will build a town like the 'inheritance barrier' as Yaohua's base, and it feels like it will become a new tourist resort.
The studio's conference room is equipped with state-of-the-art projection equipment, high-quality screens, and top-notch sound effects, and is dedicated to the company's major directors discussing new works.
Although Yaohua does not have any big directors.
But Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino's team is already a top director team, and they are all partners in front of them.
Quentin Tarantino is elusive, and he has no film plans recently, and he is no longer in China, but Spielberg has to support his own studio, so in recent years, he has been making films to make money, basically one a year, and he is training new talents.
With Wang Yao's financial and emotional support, Spielberg has added several 'money-loss' projects to train newcomers.
The film industry has both profits and risks, even if it is this kind of top director, it is not as profitable as people think, because many of the films they want to shoot are basically losing money, which is the so-called paying for feelings.
They jokingly claim that they shoot two kinds of movies, one is what they want to make, and the other is what the audience wants to see, and the relationship between the two is that as long as they shoot what the audience wants to see, they can have the capital to shoot what they want to shoot, which is the law of fairness in this world.
If you want to get it, you have to pay first.
As a result of this phenomenon, there is also a strange chain of contempt in the Western film industry, that is, the better the box office, the more the film is despised by artistic directors and professional film circles.
Francis Ford Coppola, who made such a great film as "The Godfather", was ashamed that "The Godfather" was too good at the box office.
What kind of strange way of thinking is this, Wang Yao doesn't quite understand it.
Could it be the theory that you can't have both fish and bear's paws?
However, for people like Wang Yao, who don't have much attachment and belief in art, as long as the audience likes what is filmed, it is the most important thing, and whether to make money or not is not the first place, the point is that others like it, so it is meaningful.
And the audience here does not include fans.
Because in the eyes of fans, everything about their idols is good, blind and has no standards.
However, this time, in addition to Spielberg and Wang Yao, another big director was added.
Cameron.
Although it is said that the king does not see the king, the private relationship between the two is still good, but there is not much intersection in work, and the biggest intersection is about the future direction of special effects, and the two occasionally exchange opinions.
And this time, Cameron was able to come for this reason.
Because Yaohua Company acquired a large number of special effects companies that were going downhill, Cameron was very curious, and the technical reform of "Zodiac Turn" made him very interested in Wang Yao.
After receiving the invitation this time, I came to meet this amazing young man from the East.
This meeting also gave Wang Yaofu a strange nickname in Hollywood.
"I felt a mysterious force from the East. Cameron couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wang Yao operating on the spot and making the image he wanted.
PS: Thank you Qian Jiashang for 500 and Blue City South's 100 for the tip~
This time is the time when the July Seven Incident occurred, remembering the national mourning, the prosperity of the motherland, and the continuation of China.
I don't like the term 'national shame', I personally believe that the country that started the war is the national shame, and invasion is the shame.
The word mourning is not synonymous with injury, it refers to heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, and we commemorate heroes, not 'shame'.
Cheng is both brave and martial, and he is strong and invincible.
The body is dead, the god is the spirit, and the soul of the child is the ghost.
