Chapter 285: Xu Yang personally invited

When Yang Qingqing introduced John Fox, he also gave Xu Yang the other party's personal contact information, and when the script of the movie "Transformers" was completed at the hotel, Xu Yang began to let Joan contact the famous director.

For Xu Yang, a big director must not be able to look down on her, and if Joan comes forward, she can be more solemn in terms of weight, who made the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" that became popular all over the world not long ago directed by her?

Peering together is always more convincing than someone who seems to be a "layman"!

The process of meeting at a time went smoothly, and the location was a Western restaurant that Joan had selected.

The eating habits of the rice people, especially in meat, should be 6 minutes cooked, and 7 minutes cooked is more, in short, Xu Yang himself can't eat it, so he ordered a sandwich and a drink.

Most people in China like to talk about things at the dinner table, but Westerners are very strict about eating, especially in such formal occasions.

After everyone put down the utensils in their hands, Joan brought up the topic of today: "Director John, thank you for taking the time to accept our invitation today. As you know, I'm a director myself, and I think I should be able to control the theater when it comes to shooting scripts for movies with general themes, but I'm a little powerless for a big production like 3D. I came to you today for this purpose. ”

Hearing Joan's words, John nodded, before he came, he also thought about the purpose of Joan, the new director, looking for him, but now when he heard the other party's words, he was not very surprised, but asked with some doubts: "I heard that you are making a new movie, can't it be this kind of 3D movie?" However, it seems that this movie has been filmed for a long time!"

In Hollywood, there are many things that are not obvious "secrets", and besides, it is not difficult for a director of a name as famous as John to know their movements.

Since the other party mentioned this, Joan didn't deliberately hide it, and roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then simply threw out an olive branch: "So, what we mean here is that we want Director John to join, are you interested?"

As soon as Joan's abrupt words came out, John was surprised for a moment, and then said with great interest: "What can I gain by joining you?"

In this negotiation, Qiong and Xu Yang came over from the Dream Entertainment Company, because it was Qiong who invited her, and she was also the director, so Xu Yang let her take charge of this matter, but when she got here, Xu Yang didn't let Qiong continue to speak, but took out a file bag and said, "Director John, you can take a look at this first, and then it's not too late to talk about other things." ”

Before eating, Joan introduced Xu Yang's identity to John, but, when he introduced, he was talking about his boss, the chairman of Dream Entertainment Company, and as for the rest, he didn't say too much.

When he saw that what was inside turned out to be a script, he was even more puzzled.

However, in the end, he has been engaged in entertainment for many years, even if he was surprised, he didn't show it on his face, so he took advantage of the situation to read the script.

The script is not very long, only a dozen pages, but the frame and core of a movie are very well written, and if you want to make a movie, as long as you polish the dialogue of the characters and the like, it will be about the same.

John didn't care about this, and what shocked him the most was that this movie script was so exciting, not in terms of plot, but in terms of intention.

The script, in fact, has similarities with advertisements, most of the time, it is its theme and idea that can attract people, the dialogue of the characters, the plot and the like, there are often some similarities or overlaps, as long as the idea is highlighted more clearly, then, this movie is definitely not much worse.

In addition, John also noticed that the script of this movie in his hand, according to the plot description, can make a series, not only that, once this movie can be successful, then, there is absolutely no shortage of peripheral derivatives under the influence of the movie, especially this kind of film with "science fiction" material.

The more he thought about it, the happier Xu Yang and Qiong who observed the change in his expression became, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but it was good to find the right preferences and weaknesses.

An hour later, John reluctantly put down the script in his hand, calmed down his emotions, and said slowly: "Tell me about your conditions!"

Since they had picked out the topic before, they wanted to invite him to join their company, and then came up with such a work that he couldn't put down, it was impossible to say that he was not tempted, but it was a little hasty to agree to cooperate like this, so he wanted to listen to the conditions that the other party gave him.

After John's words, Xu Yang did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "The contract is 5 years, and the annual salary will be paid according to the director of your level, and our side will invest in at least 2 scripts that meet the other party's wishes every year for the directors of our company, of course, this is only under the condition of being the chief director, if there is a co-production, if there is time, our company also hopes to try to cooperate." ”

After Xu Yang, Joan continued: "For the dividends after the movie is taken off the shelves, our company will definitely not treat its own people badly." ”

After she said this, not only John smiled, but even Xu Yang himself smiled.

Joan is a child of a poor family, so it is relatively important to look at money, of course, she is not short of money at present, she has a lot of salary in Dream Entertainment Company, and she also has the identity of a manager, and furthermore, in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", Xu Yang gave her a dividend of 5 million US dollars, but it may be subconscious for many years, often on top of negotiations, she will use the temptation of money.

Facing a big man in the director industry, or a person who once opened a film company, John really didn't care much about money, he smiled, but he just felt that the Joan in front of him was very straightforward, it seems that she has not put her identity in the position of "big director".

Although she has just graduated, she has directed a movie that is popular all over the world, quietly, and her status has risen in the entertainment industry, after all, today's Hollywood "big directors", many people's masterpieces are just one or two.

Without thinking about Joan's matter anymore, John turned his attention to Xu Yang again, and he only cared about the conditions he proposed, that is, the two movie scripts that met his heart, and their company could do this? After all, his requirements for scripts can be said to be very strict.

Patiently curious, John asked as if unintentionally, "Two movies that match your heart?"

Afraid of worrying about such a thing, Xu Yang prepared in advance and took out the script of the movie "Fast and Furious" that was being filmed, although this script was a little different from the script John wanted, but the idea of the script was also very clear, and it was a good commercial script.

took out the script of this movie, Xu Yang's purpose is also to give John a confidence, our company has deep strength!

After reading what Xu Yang took out again, John was also shocked, the background of this seemingly small entertainment company, perhaps, is really not as simple as he imagined, pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Okay, your sincerity has moved me, I join!"
