The foundation of cooperation between countries should be based on mutual understanding and mutual respect, and the cooperation between companies and people should also be the same, but this cooperation with Colombian Company, from beginning to end, Song Zheng did not feel the slightest respect given by the other party. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

From the very beginning, with a face of charity, it felt as if Song Zheng was their poor relative from the countryside.

Not to mention that there was a stumbling block in the back, before that show, Song Zheng was already very unhappy, at that time, the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" was obviously very hot, and the box office potential was still very large, but the Columbia company did not increase the number of theaters as stipulated in the contract, or later, under Song Zheng's repeated requests, it was only then that the number of theaters increased by 800.

A company that has no integrity at all, what kind of cooperation basis!

Song Zheng's cold refusal made Alaire's heart sink to the bottom all of a sudden, he knew that after the company fired Glenn Hardy, why didn't they get rid of him together, it was just because he still had some value, and now his only chance to prove his value to the company was to re-establish the cooperative relationship with Song Zheng.

If he can't do it, he will have no value to the company, and a person with no value, the Japanese who control the company's board of directors, will never be soft.

Please note that the object of cooperation between Columbia and Columbia is Song Zheng, not Huayi Brothers.

This is because, in the eyes of the Japanese, who are more realistic than the Americans, only Song Zheng is valuable.

"Song, please don't rush to conclusions, can you give me a little time to hear some of our decisions?"

Song Zheng looked at Alaire and didn't speak, he also wanted to know what the purpose of this guy came to see him.

Seeing this, Alaire breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Song, the chairman of the board of directors of our company admires you very much, and our company is also willing to help you really gain a foothold in Hollywood!"

Alaire said, habitually using that tone of charity.

Before Song Zheng could speak, Gao Xiaosong was already unhappy: "Mr. Alaire, I think I need to remind you that if my boss wants to gain a foothold in Hollywood, he doesn't need anyone's help, he already has a very successful work, and this work is in theaters!"

Alaire smiled: "No, Gao! You are a musician, you don't know much about the film industry, the success of a work does not mean anything, for Hollywood, Song is still just a newcomer, he still needs to continue to prove his worth." ”

"In that case, why did Columbia come to me?" Song Zheng said with an expressionless face as he looked at Alaire.

Alaire said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Song! we have a basis for cooperation, and our company is optimistic about your potential!"

Song Zheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "So that's the case, shouldn't I express my gratitude for your company's attention?"

Alaire's face froze, and Song Zheng said thank you, but his tone was full of sarcasm, of course he could hear it.

Song Zheng continued: "Since you recognize my potential, and other companies in Hollywood believe that they can also see it, why should I choose a company that has no respect for me at all?"

Alaire hurriedly said, "Please wait, Song~~~~~!

"Needless to say. Song Zheng didn't give him a chance to continue talking, "I don't have the idea of coming to the United States to develop at present, so naturally I don't need your company's help." ”

Alaire wanted to persuade again, but Song Zheng got up directly, and when Alaire saw this, he knew that there was no chance today.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Song, if you change your mind, please feel free to contact me!"

As soon as Alaire left, Gao Xiaosong couldn't help but ask: "Zhengzi, aren't you serious?" Although these foreign hairs are not things, I think this is really an opportunity, if you miss it, it will be a pity!"

Song Zheng said with a smile: "Lao Gao, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, don't look at Columbia in a hurry, but if I am in a hurry to agree, I will be eaten to death at that time, besides, there are so many companies in Hollywood, Columbia can see my potential, are all other companies blind? Moreover, in cooperation with Columbia, I will get a salary at most, and I will not have the opportunity to participate in investment at all, so what's the point?"

Gao Xiaosong listened and was directly stunned, he never thought that Song Zheng's ambition would be so big.

"But if we talk, Columbia may not refuse back, and we still cooperate with them now, aren't you afraid that they will get stuck with us in box office sharing?"

Gao Xiaosong said that this situation is not impossible, but Song Zheng will not be worried: "Don't worry, with Wang Zhongjun staring, they don't dare to play tricks." ”

If the Columbia company really dares to get stuck in their share, Wang Zhongjun has a way to make them spit it out with interest.

Wang Zhongjun's energy is not small, and there are also relationships above, which can easily set up countless obstacles for Columbia's film to enter China.

The two of them were talking, and the landline bell in Song Zheng's room rang, and they realized that it was the front desk calling.

"Sir, there's a gentleman who claims to be Lionsgate Phil Alex who wants to see you, do you want him to go up?"

When Song Zheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay!

After hanging up the phone, Song Zheng smiled at Gao Xiaosong and said, "The opportunity has come!"

Gao Xiaosong didn't understand what it meant: "What's wrong?"

Song Zheng said: "Do you know the person Phil Alex?"

Gao Xiaosong thought about it for a while, but he didn't find the corresponding information about this person from his memory.

"It's Lionsgate's operations manager!" Ren Tong, who had been silent in the room, suddenly spoke.

Before coming to the United States this time, Ren Tong had done a lot of homework, and everything else might be a little worse, but the situation of various Hollywood companies was absolutely clear.

When Song Zheng heard this, he smiled and said, "That's right, it's him!"

Gao Xiaosong couldn't help but look at Ren Tong, Ren Tong explained: "Lionsgate is an independent production company, although the scale is not large, but it has a very good reputation in the industry! "Fahrenheit 911" released in the summer, and the "Chainsaw" series are their works!"

Ren Tong said that he was like a treasure, and it could be seen that he did his homework very carefully.

When Gao Xiaosong heard this, he also reacted, and said, "Zhengzi, you just said that the opportunity came, are you planning to cooperate with Lionsgate?"

Song Zheng smiled: "Then people have to look up to us?"

Gao Xiaosong listened to it and felt that this was not a problem at all, Song Zheng is now popular in the United States, even if he wants to create the next kung fu superstar, those Hollywood studios should not miss Song Zheng.

The reality is indeed the case, a "Hurricane Rescue" has made Song Zheng, a young director from China, an actor a household name in the United States, and he fought against multiple challengers on the show, which proves that his kung fu is not a show, and now even his albums are selling well, huge popularity, superb skills, and excellent acting skills, so that Song Zheng has instantly become a cash cow in the eyes of many Hollywood film companies.

Why did a Colombian company take the initiative to come to the door?

It's not that you just want to strike first and win the cash cow of Song Zheng.

Columbia is like this, and it is also the idea to come to Lionsgate to fight.

It didn't take long for the Mr. Phil Alex to arrive, and although I don't know what the outcome would be, at least he seemed pleasing to the eye. White and clean, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he is not so much a filmmaker as a university professor, at least this elegant energy, Song Zheng can't learn, Feng Xiaogang has no drama in his life.

"Hello, Mr. Song, I really didn't expect that you are so young that you can play a middle-aged father so vividly!"

Look at the people, this is called chatting, compared to this Alex, Alaire, who just left, is simply a commercial spy for other companies to break into Columbia.

After a few words of greeting, Alex cut to the chase, Song Zheng guessed correctly, he did come to invite Song Zheng.

"Mr. Song, we are very sincere, Mr. Goodsmith promises to tailor a movie for you!"

Brian Goodsmith is the general manager of Lionsgate, and Ren Tong had already given them science before Alex arrived.

Tailor-made a movie!

Song Zheng was really tempted.

In this way, wouldn't he be able to be the leading actor, this salary is not low, I already knew that many actors who broke into Hollywood before him, even if they were superstars in China, but when they first arrived in Hollywood, they had to start with supporting roles first.

For example, Li Lianjie, his first role in Hollywood, played a killer who didn't even have a name, and had a few minutes of fight scenes with the actor on the rooftop, and then was knocked out by the protagonist.

Song Zheng can play the leading role as soon as he comes up, which is indeed a big temptation.

However, Song Zheng did not rush to agree, he knew that the reason why Lionsgate was able to offer such a large price was that the key was to value the gimmicks he could create.

The investment in such a movie will definitely not be too big, and starring in such a movie will not actually help Song Zheng much, and it may even be that his existing popularity will be consumed because of starring in a bad movie.

What you lose may be greater than what you gain, and Song Zheng is not like taking this risk.

"Mr. Alex!"

"Please call me Phil, that's what my friends call me, and I think it helps us build a personal friendship faster!"

This foreigner can really tm!

"Okay, Phil, can I read the script you made for me?"

"Of course!" Alex said, pulling out a script from the bag he was carrying and handing it over.

Song Zheng took it, his current English conversation is basically no problem, but the reading is still not strong, but fortunately, he can still understand it.

After just reading two pages, Song Zheng put down the script, and it was the same as he thought, a shoddy story, and the other party was using his current fame to hype, pull the box office, and make a handful of money if he could.

The script is an old-fashioned story of a hero saving beauty, the male protagonist counterattacks Bai Fumei from the poor sling, and climbs to the peak of life.

Alex knew as soon as Song Zheng's reaction that he was not satisfied with the script: "Song, what do you think?"

Song Zheng smiled and shook his head, although the script is very bad, at least people have prepared it, unlike Columbia, which will only write empty checks.

"Phil, I can't believe that you Lionsgate could have come up with a script like this!"

Alex was also a little embarrassed, of course he knew that this script was terrible, but in a hurry, let him find a script suitable for Song Zheng.

Song Zheng's acting skills are very good, Cannes and Berlin double actors are the best proof, but the problem is that American audiences are really interested in Song Zheng's kung fu, if you want to not hit the street after the movie is released, the first thing to do is this.

"Song, we can still revise the script!"

Song Zheng smiled when he heard this, no matter how much the shit is modified, can it still cover the smell?

"Alex, I can feel your sincerity!"

In fact, Song Zheng also saw that this script was improvised, in order to bring it to him and show the sincerity of Lionsgate.

However, Song Zheng also believes that even if they are given time, the script will not satisfy him, even if he is indeed not low in popularity now, but for Hollywood, he is just a famous newcomer.

No matter how optimistic Lionsgate is about him, it is impossible to use a lot of money on him, and when the time comes, no matter how the script is changed, what can be taken out will be the kind of small cost and small production.

These things naturally can't satisfy Song Zheng, if it's just like this, if he makes a third-rate small-budget movie in Hollywood, he might as well simply return to China to invest and play a big production!

Anyway, he is also the owner of a company, there is no need to lower his price, just to stay in Hollywood and film, it is meaningless at all.

"I have a proposal for you, I hope you can refer to it!"

When Alex heard this, he said, "Okay!

Song Zheng said: "In fact, I am going to set up a production company in the United States!"

When Alex heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't understand what Song Zheng meant: "Song, are you going to reject our company!?"

Gao Xiaosong was also taken aback, although Song Zheng had given him a preventive injection just now, he still didn't expect Song Zheng to play so big.

Set up a company!

All right!

Setting up a film and television production company in the United States is actually very simple, you only need to go to the Los Angeles City Government to get a form, and then pay a small fee, in fact, there are many leather bag companies in Hollywood, and some of them are established, and they don't even make a movie, and they go out of business.

Song Zheng smiled: "No! I'm ready to cooperate with you!"
