Chapter 179: Sudden Visit
Yang Qiu's original intention was to wait for the production of "Home Alone" to be completed, and send the film to France and the United States in person, so that Sinai and Fox could watch it.
If it's good, then it's an agent for issuance.
A week later, Yang Qiu suddenly received a call from York, and they were already in Xiangjiang.
The group also stayed at the Peninsula Hotel.
Yang Qiu was caught off guard, and was silent for a while when he received the call.
His film has only completed the second cut......
Not even the audio track.
This is a special look at wool!
But no, since the guests had arrived, Yang Qiu had to put down his work and go to the Peninsula Hotel.
At this time, the Peninsula Hotel only had seven floors, and it was not yet the 'Filmmaker Café' that Hong Kong entertainment fans were familiar with in later generations.
However, at this time, the Peninsula Hotel has nothing to hide, facing the sparkling Victoria Bay, which is indeed a good place to drink afternoon tea and blow the wind.
It's just that Yang Qiu can't manage so much for a while.
All the way to the fifth floor of the hotel, Yang Qiu found the address, and directly raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Before long, the door opened the door.
"Oh, Yang, I knew you were coming. ”
As soon as the door opened, the figure of his old friend York appeared in front of him, and before Yang Qiu could say hello, he shouted loudly.
By the way, he also opened his arms to give Yang Qiu a veneer gift.
A strong smell of wine dregs rushed straight to his nose, Yang Qiu took a sharp breath, and after letting go, he asked with a smile: "Hey, York, why didn't you come over and say it earlier?"
"Oh, you can't blame me, Yang, that's what Mr. Staulas did on the fly. York turned to the side and smiled as he spread his hands, "He was going to only go to Neon and Stay." ”
"Mr. Frostas in there?"
"Yes, he's being interviewed, come with me. ”
Interview?
Yang Qiu raised his eyebrows meaningfully, he thought he was too early.
I didn't expect ......
It's still the Xiangjiang reporter who runs fast!
As soon as you pass through the door, you will see a very luxuriously decorated living room, and the Western-style guest decorations are splendid, which sets off the whole room with a very heroic atmosphere.
On the sofa in the middle of the living room, five or six people were sitting.
Then, Yang Qiu fluted slightly.
"Mr. Frostas, you're the director of production at Fox, what do you think of the film production industry in Xiangjiang?" Yi Wen asked, sitting upright on the sofa in a suit, in fluent English, facing a fifty-something ghost guy in the side corner.
The Mr. Sguras was clearly a typical Germanic man, tall and blond, blue-eyed, though his eye sockets were sunken and somewhat blackened, perhaps because he had just stepped off the plane.
Looked, a little tired.
However, in the face of Yi Wen's question, Frostas still cheered up and replied: "The production industry in Xiangjiang can be said to be very prosperous, but it is very chaotic, but all disorder will eventually return to order, and I think the blockbuster studio model will soon rise in Xiangjiang." ”
"Blockbuster mode?"
Yi Wen asked, then obviously noticed Yang Qiu, nodded at him slightly, and then looked back at Staulas.
But he's not afraid of leaving behind any keywords.
There was a young reporter next to this guy, who was holding a pen and paper and writing a note.
"Well, the big studio model, this model will allow the production company to combine actors, producers, distributors, ......"
Listening to Frostas's eloquent conversation all the way, Yang Qiu followed York and sat down opposite Frostas, and a young ghost who seemed to be an assistant put it in front of Yang Qiu with a cup of coffee.
"Thank you. ”
Yang Qiu nodded slightly, took a sip of coffee, and quietly continued to watch their interview.
"Will this model lead to the solidification of actors?" Yi Wen pondered for a while, raised his eyes and asked, "Then do you think the big studio system is good or bad?"
"I don't know. Scolas replied unusually briefly.
"No...... Don't know?"
Frostas glanced at Yang Qiu, turned around and replied: "Hollywood has been arguing about this for twenty years, and it has not yet debated whether it is right or wrong, how do I know." ”
“……”
Yi Wen was speechless for a while, shook his head helplessly, changed the topic and asked, "Then you came to Xiangjiang this time because Fox is interested in Xiangjiang?"
"Yes, Hong Kong is an emerging city with a population of more than 2 million. Sitting back on the couch, Frostas raised his hand and said politely, "I don't think anyone would ignore this place." ”
"Then you Fox ...... right"
Looking at the two sides talking eloquently, Yang Qiu muttered in his heart.
In the past, Toho entrusted Kawakita to investigate, and then the production director of Fox came in person, and the small land of Xiangjiang was really lively.
It can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back.
"Thank you, Mr. Scolas, and thank you for your time with us today. ”
"You're welcome. ”
"Now that the interview is over, we won't bother. Ah Zhan, clean up. Yi Wen bowed slightly to the little reporter next to him, and slowly stood up and looked at Yang Qiu and said, "Boss Yang, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"Ha, I was surprised too. Yang Qiu also stood up and responded.
"After all, I am also doing some work related to the film industry, and since Mr. Staolas has come to Hong Kong, I can't help but interview him. Yi Wen explained with a smile and continued: "It seems that you and Mr. Skolas still have something to discuss, so I won't bother here." ”
"Brother Yi Wen walked slowly. ”
"Thank you. Yi Wen smiled, turned his head to look at Skulas and said, "Mr. Skolas, goodbye." ”
"Goodbye, easy. Mr. Scolas smiled, looked at his assistant again, and said, "John, help me see off the guest." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Seeing Yi Wen and the others walk out, the room was quiet for a while, Yang Qiu slowly sat down again, and smiled at the person in front of him: "Hello, Mr. Sgulas." ”
"Hello. Frostas sat up straight, and said, "Yang, you are younger than I thought. ”
"Thank you, you're younger than I thought you were. ”
"Haha, Yang, you're so humorous. ”
Frostas laughed heartily, but the distance between the two sides was shortened a lot, and Yang Qiu also smiled and took a sip of coffee.
"Yang, is the patent for that anamorphic lens really not for sale? I can pay you double. Frostas stared at Yang Qiu and asked with interest.
"Mr. Scroas, it's not about money. Yang Qiu smiled, put down his coffee and said, "I can authorize Fox to use this patent, well, how about exclusive use?"
"......" Skooths was a little stunned and asked, "What's the difference between this and selling directly?"
"Mr. Frostas, I'm a businessman, so when I get something, I naturally have to think about maximizing his interests first. ”
"For example, ask me to watch one of your films. Frostas asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Exactly!" ......Yang Qiu smiled bitterly and said slowly: "But you came a few days early, and my movie has just finished the second cut." ”
Frostas waved his hand and said solemnly: "The second cut is not a problem, I also came from the silent film era, but, Jan, I want you to understand a problem, even if I watch this movie, it doesn't mean that Fox will release this movie." ”
"I know. Yang Qiu nodded and replied, "But I think Mr. Skulas will find its commercial value after watching this movie." ”
"Oh, I'll see. ”
