Although Hollywood is full of pits, the success of "Barbossa" can be regarded as Kevin's performance, and this kind of film with almost zero cost except for publicity expenses, he can be regarded as picking up a big leak. Therefore, I am still quite interested in Chen Ergou.

"Chen, I've read the script of your new film, and the space disaster + 3D shooting mode is actually pretty good. But you're going to shoot in China, and the top brass is reluctant to get involved. If it were in the United States, I think it would be much better. ”

"Kevin, what do you think you think should be filmed in the United States?"

Kevin Tessohara thought for a moment and said: "In fact, in recent years, everyone has noticed that the Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger, and Warner's investment in China is not as good as other companies such as Columbia, and even DreamWorks. So much so that we were even blocked from the release of "Batman". Your country is really difficult to manage, and I am not very confident. ”

"Of course, if you just want to release it in China, you won't come to me? Chinese films are not popular in the United States, and you should know that, I'm afraid Warner will have a hard time investing in your project. In a word, the future of the project is unclear, and even a director as famous as David Fincher has only a few copper plates.

Chen Ergou said: "I can bear the investment myself, and if the auction results meet expectations, I hope Warner can consider releasing it?"

Kevin smiled, he likes to do no-capital trading the most.

The success of "Barbossa" in the United States is a testament to Chen Ergou's popularity, as evidenced by the fact that Bieber's documentary, Never Say Never, which is also famous on YouTube, is the best proof of this. is still very optimistic about his Hollywood prospects.

"No problem, who told us to work together so happily. If there's anything you need help with, just ask. ”

Chen Ergou also said politely: "Okay, I need a well-known producer who can help me communicate with NASA's filming work." It's better not to be too strong with this person, because I'm also very strong, and it's better to have complementary personalities and be close to my philosophy. ”

Kevin frowned and thought for a long time, he knew too much about Hollywood, those well-known producers were above the top, and they were afraid that they would be "too emperors" when they went to China. Chen Ergou said that he was very strong, and he changed his bad temper in the past, but he was afraid that he would mess up the scene before filming started.

When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw a bearded fat figure walk in, and he had an idea in his heart.

Born in 1964, Gilmour is a banner of Mexican cinema, and although he is a fat man with a modest appearance, he is a true all-rounder when it comes to films. and the great director James Cameron has also been friends for many years. He has worked as a director, actor, assistant director, screenwriter, producer, and even worked as a makeup artist for 10 years. The famous "Devil's Silver Claw", "Blade", "Hellboy", "Pan's Labyrinth" are all his works.

He has recently become obsessed with neon mecha anime, and after watching Loren's new film "Foundation" during the internal screening of Warner, he has a new idea, and he already has a general idea for his new film. The party that comes to Warner is just to find inspiration, and by the way, it also has the meaning of Lala investment. With his fame, of course, there is no shortage of investment, but this new idea investment is a bit big.

Now that the tide has changed in Hollywood, companies are trying to break even and set aside marketing expenses before they can carefully squeeze in cash. With such a large investment, it always takes a little more talk. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, without saying a word, I was introduced by Warner executives to meet a Chinese who has been very popular recently.

"Hello, Director Gilmour, nice to meet you!"

……

By the time Chen Ergou took the flight back to China again, it had been postponed for five days. In first class, he was flipping through an English script with the name "Pacific Rim" written on it.

There was a lot of harvest at the party that day, and Jill was inexplicably very popular, but he was a little funny.

At the beginning, I talked about Chen Ergou's new project, because the other party hadn't read his script, and the empty chat didn't make much progress. Subsequently, Chen Ergou changed his mind, mentioned that he might be able to help with investment, and took the initiative to shift the topic to Gilmour's "new idea", and the situation immediately became weird.

Of course, Gilmour will not tell Chen Ergou in detail about the plot of the script, but only roughly says the basic overview, and Chen Ergou can also draw inferences. In a few words, he guessed what he thought, and the slight discrepancies were more comprehensive and detailed than he thought.

The two talked endlessly for most of the day, which seemed to outsiders to be a big hate. But the more he talked about it, the more depressed he became. "Is the other party too smart, or is he too stupid. How can you guess everything clearly?"

This made him wonder if his idea was really too lo.

He just said a brief introduction, and everyone guessed the plot?!

"Chen, are you really an adventurer, not a director and screenwriter at the California Film Academy?"

Chen Ergou smiled: "No, I would rather be a chef, would you like to listen to my thoughts?"

"Of course, otherwise I'll let go of so many beautiful women, why would I talk to you. ”

"Gilmour, you've got a great idea, if I could describe it as a dish, I can think of a French snail burger set with a Mediterranean salad and a drink with wine and cola...... Regardless of whether this metaphor is appropriate or not, such a request would seem unreasonable in a Western-style fast-food restaurant based on logic alone. In the same way your super mecha movie ......"

"Pacific Rim, yes, I was going to use that name. ”

“…… Well, "Pacific Rim" is a composite genre film, which combines the main genre of sci-fi, action, and adventure, but also involves sub-genre elements such as monster movies, robot movies, and disaster movies, and it has its own rules and premises. ”

"And the composite genre films of this concept are all films with great investment and high technical content, and its priority is not artistic value, but commercial value. So under this premise, the simpler and easier to understand story is the premise of its commercial success, and you can't make it too complicated. As a story of a hugely invested action commercial popcorn movie, you can't let ordinary audiences see it in the clouds, right? Your idea is too complicated, but it doesn't have the elaborate structure of "The Foundation......"

"Hey, you've also watched "The Foundation"?"

“…… Be. I think you're probably influenced by Christopher's movie. ”

"Is it so obvious?" said Gilmour.

Where could he have thought of Chen Ergou's demonic life, he has been making movies for so many years, and today he suddenly made him a little frustrated in front of a "layman", which is unique. Even if you discuss it with Cameron, it often makes people feel uncomfortable.

Chen Ergou is also embarrassed, he has to bump into a positive photo, otherwise there is really nothing to talk about, what else to talk about. It was also because of his acquaintance with Gilmour that he temporarily canceled his flight and delayed his trip.

Gilmour also got his script, and although he didn't say yes, at least he was very moved, and the two sides were still negotiating further on the details. Chen Ergou is not very good at these negotiations, and Downey's essential job is that of a lawyer, so these are definitely not good.

So these days, he asked the headhunter to poach a professional manager, and finally invited Ms. Susan Carlisle, who used to be the manager of Paramount's marketing operations, to be the new CEO of Reservoir Dogs Entertainment.

As for Susan's performance...... We'll see.

However, after this period of hard work, Donnie finally won the copyright of "The Hunger Games".

Negotiations were already in full swing, Lionsgate offered $7.5 million, and Summit Entertainment offered $8 million, but was bitten off by a "reservoir dog" killed by an oblique stab. directly bought the film and television adaptation rights of "The Hunger Games" at a sky-high price of $10 million.

The author of the original book has been delaying making a decision, and he also has the idea of raising the price to reap the benefits of fishermen. In the face of honest money, there is not much to consider. Although the Reservoir Dog is penniless, the price it gives is not to be refused. The original author also enjoys a 1% box office share of the film. Reservoir Dogs also sincerely invites the original author to personally participate in the adaptation of the script for the film version.

The pinnacle and the lion's gate were robbed of the pork belly, and naturally they were furious. Angrily denounced the Reservoir Dogs for buying copyrights for tens of millions of dollars, which is completely an act of breaking the rules of the market, harming others and not benefiting oneself! While wantonly smearing and attacking, counting the "Hunger Games" falling into this company is also a pearl and a dust, eating jujube pills. On the other hand, he is still secretly contacting the original author, hoping that he can change his mind and tear up the agreement, and is willing to fight a lawsuit with the Chinese, probably because he feels that the Chinese who are alone are easy to bully. But they don't want to pay more, who is the fool?

This incident caused a lot of uproar, but it brought this "Reservoir Dogs" entertainment company into the public eye.

As the boss Chen Ergou, he was naturally mentioned. Another outsider is also frequently implicated, because the purchase price of this company is 5.2 million, which is about the same amount as Chen Ergou's "win" money. The reporters almost put their heads on each other's foreheads and asked, "Just ask if you regret it", clearly wanting to do something.

No, here comes the thing.

What was not there was something was said too much, and it became a thing.

"Mildew" was also not angry, and specially called, "Hey, Chen, when are we betting a game?" I've never lost so badly, and I've been laughed at. If I do it again, I'll win!"

Then the egg - the three major illusions in life, Ta likes me, this is a steady win, I can fight back!

Ben ignored it, but this woman was too arrogant, and publicly called out on Twitter, and even her girlfriend group also waved their flags and cheered. How can Ergou, who is not weaker than a person in his life, endure it, he promised the fans and didn't agree, he definitely couldn't let a woman ride on his head, so he slipped away!

……

Chen Ergou looked at the vast sea of clouds outside the window and put down the script. It is more difficult for a foreigner to enter Hollywood and get around than he imagined. It's still good in China, if you have money, someone will shoot it.

At this moment, he wanted to return to China sooner and more.

The plane arrived in the middle of the night, and the reporters who finally got their whereabouts from the airline only had time to take a few photos of Chen Ergou wearing a pair of big shorts, a black T-shirt on his upper body, a peaked cap, and a large travel backpack on his back. Before he could ask a few questions, the person who looked back had already disappeared.

The photo was posted on the Internet, with the caption [International star Chen Ergou returned to China in the middle of the night, and no one knew him at the airport in big pants!]" attracted a large number of fans to chase.

"Black my big dog, no one knows, isn't the editor a human!"

"The dog master has finally appeared!666, congratulations to the dog master on returning with honors and raising the prestige of our country!"

"Ah, what the hell, these big pants are too coquettish. It's so spicy, is this an airport outfit, it's all legs of leg hair, hahaha!"

"My dog walks with the wind in big pants, and this big chest muscle T-shirt can't stop it, and his aura is invincible!"

"Let's release it soon, sit and wait!"
