Chapter 1444: The Notorious
"Boss~"
When Bai Ningyuan got into the car, someone in the car had already stood up and shouted respectfully to Bai Ningyuan, it was Tang Yinglun who accompanied him to the United States this time.
Bai Ningyuan nodded and sat down on the sofa in the car.
This time, there were more people who left for the United States, so Bai Ningyuan got into the Deutsche Man RV that he had rarely used in recent years, and Tang Yinglun and the others had the opportunity to have close contact with this famous car for the first time, and their eyes were full of curiosity as they constantly looked at the interior of the car.
After going through various complicated procedures, the plane that everyone was on has soared above 10,000 meters in the air.
After the fuselage stabilized, Tang Yinglun unbuckled the seat belt on his body, and the whole person also breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face was still a little pale.
It's really hard to imagine that with Tang Yinglun's identity, he would be afraid of flying, which is also a jaw-dropping anecdote.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to take a plane to the other side of the ocean, with Tang Yinglun's character, he would not have sat on this plane if he was killed.
This time he went to the United States, in addition to accompanying Bai Ning to divide the money, he also planned to inspect the American market to see if there was any opportunity to reach any cooperation with this side, so as to lay a good foundation for opening up the American market in the future.
The fact that Bai Ningyuan made a lot of money from investing in "Transformers 3" this time made him taste the sweetness and made him realize that if he really had the opportunity, it would be a piece of fat.
"Boss, before leaving, I received a call from Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein asked you to visit on the phone, I want to get a chance to communicate with you face-to-face, I don't know what you think......" After calming down a little, Tang Yinglun, who had regained his spirits, said to Bai Ningyuan.
Because he expects that this trip to the United States will still be able to achieve something, so he is also unwilling to come back like this as a supporting role in the United States for a meaningless trip, if possible, it is best to be able to get results, so he also subconsciously wants some opportunities for other arrangements.
"Harvey Weinstein?" Bai Ningyuan repeated the name as if reflexively, he subconsciously felt that the name was faintly familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Yes, it is the CEO of Weinstein Films, known as the strongest promoter of the Oscars, and it can almost be said that it is the name that has been mentioned and thanked the most times in the acceptance speeches of stars, and it is also a well-known name in the domestic film circle. Tang Yinglun said simply to Bai Ningyuan.
"Oh...... It's him, I seem to have some impressions, is it the one who was scolded by Director Feng Jiayi as a liar?" Hearing what Tang Yinglun said, some clues faintly appeared in Bai Ningyuan's mind.
He doesn't know where he saw this report, saying that the famous domestic director Feng Jiayi once mentioned this person in a certain event, he was once regarded as the "savior" of Chinese films, and always used a high price to scare off competitors who wanted to buy, and when all the competitors withdrew, he immediately broke the contract, because there was no buyer, the filmmaker had to pinch his nose and beg him, and in the end he was always able to buy the overseas distribution of Chinese films at a very low price, and then make a lot of profit from it.
According to Feng Jiayi, the other party only offered a price of one million dollars for one of his films, which is simply a humiliation for this big director.
Therefore, when more and more domestic filmmakers have suffered losses and deceived him, he has become an object spurned by the Chinese film circle.
Although many of the projects at hand have a deep relationship with the entertainment industry, Bai Ningyuan can barely be regarded as half of the entertainment industry, but he doesn't care much about these things, so he barely remembered some news about this person after thinking about it for a long time.
It's just that such a person, how can he want to get in touch with himself, is it because he thinks he won't hear of his "deeds"?
Or does the other person simply not care about this?
Also, you know, this person is a hooligan, even if he claims to be the driving force behind the Oscars, has run a lot of movies and won awards, and can be called a man of the year in Hollywood, but he is still a hooligan with a bad record in essence.
X harassment, unspoken rules or something, it's just commonplace for him.
"Yes, that's him. Tang Yinglun affirmed Bai Ningyuan's guess.
"It's just that what he's trying to do with me? Bai Ningyuan thought for a moment and didn't come up with a reason, so he said strangely to Tang Yinglun, no matter what, about the entertainment industry, Tang Yinglun's knowledge is much richer than his own.
"I guess it's better to take a fancy to the film in our hands, after all, now his reputation in the Huaxia circle is stinky, and he can't mix it up at all, so he wants to start from some new companies or faces, and he can fool one of them. After thinking about it, Tang Yinglun was also puzzled, so he could only guess roughly.
"That's right, what you said is not impossible, probably he has already obtained the identity that I am the investor of "Transformers 3", although this kind of thing is relatively secret, but people can stand in Hollywood for more than ten years, and they have their own news channels, which is not a difficult thing for them, so he wants to see if he can get any benefits from me. Bai Ningyuan nodded thoughtfully and said.
Regarding the identity of his investor, Bai Ningyuan was not mentally prepared to keep it secret, he believed that in the United States, his identity was not very secret at all.
"Or, is he the idea of the domestic film market again?" Tang Yinglun also continued along Bai Ningyuan's train of thought.
"Well, there is also this possibility, now with the increase in the income of the domestic people year by year, going to the cinema to watch movies has also become the choice of many people, after all, the feeling brought by the large screen in the cinema is by no means comparable to the screen of more than ten or twenty inches of personal computers, and the current ticket price, ordinary people can easily afford it, so the domestic film box office market is also rising year by year, and has become one of the important markets that cannot be ignored in the global film market, But the rise of Huaxia is already a thing that cannot be ignored, at this time, whoever starts first, who is likely to get more benefits in this market, that guy is an old fox of capital, just like a shark that smells blood, he realizes that this is also a very likely thing, but his reputation has long been stinky in the domestic film circle, and it is impossible to find a partner, so he can only choose some emerging film forces to seek cooperation, and we are obviously the more prominent oneγ Hearing Tang Yinglun's words, Bai Ningyuan was also thoughtful.
With the growing strength of China, the Chinese market has also become a coveted place for foreign capital, and there are amazing profits in various fields, after all, China is a large country with a large population, although this is a burden, but in the eyes of other countries, it is a broad market, who can occupy the Chinese market first, who will be able to gain a dominant position in the economic competition in the next ten or even twenty years.
The same is true of the film market, subject to domestic policy reasons, domestic film production can not be as unrestricted as Hollywood, and in terms of the introduction of foreign films, there are also a lot of rules and regulations, if you want to stand out in the film library like a carp across the river and enter the Chinese film market, then it is necessary to have a strong local partner in China, and it is estimated that Harvey Weinstein may also see this, so he tried to contact Bai Ningyuan.
The two of them had a series of discussions on the relevant situation of Harvey Weinstein, among which Tang Yinglun also told a lot of various lace anecdotes about Harvey Weinstein, and there were even many female stars who have been famous in Hollywood for a long time, so that Bai Ningyuan had a deeper understanding of his bastard behavior.
Of course, Hollywood is a big dye vat, where is there anything right or wrong in it, every day, all kinds of power, money and erotic transactions can be said to be commonplace, as for the unspoken rules or something, everyone is an adult, what you like me, what is there to blame, each takes what he needs, isn't it.
Bai Ningyuan believes that this kind of thing is not only in Hollywood, but also in domestic circles, isn't it normal for such things to happen, and even normal to the point that in the impression of the general public, it is abnormal to have these things.
Bai Ningyuan's evaluation of them is nothing more than four words - your circle is really messy!
"Let's get in touch at the end of the day, and it's not too late to see what this gringo wants to do before making a decision, and if he thinks I'm young and foolish, then he's mistaken in his calculations. Bai Ningyuan said to Tang Yinglun with a sneer.
Now if you want to do business with Chinese businessmen, in addition to strength, you have to weigh how valuable your reputation is.
On the other hand, as a passive exporter of cultural exchanges, is there a way for Huaxia's cultural products to become popular in the United States and occupy their market, Bai Ningyuan can't help but fall into contemplation......
