Overnight, the world's entertainment news seemed to be surrounded by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Because of the popularity of this movie, the popularity of Yu Yao and Ye Xiaoxi has also risen rapidly around the world. Many foreign media even came to China to interview them.

In fact, what they wanted to interview was Zhang Yang, but they couldn't find him......

Zhang Yang has been completely unheard from since he was captured by a Hollywood reporter at the airport a few days ago.

The movie is so popular that I don't see him show his face or anything, as if this movie is not his.

However, these media outlets are also used to this phenomenon.

Hasn't he always been like this?

This was the case with "Speed", and it was the same with "Kung Fu Panda".

He's always been like that.

But they still don't understand.

They've seen low-key ones, but they've never seen anything so low-key. The Hollywood media has helped those major film companies to squeeze you out, you ignore them, we understand, but we are the media of other countries, we have never offended you, what does it mean that you even refused our interview?

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Yang is the most difficult star these reporters have seen since they entered the industry.

I can't make an appointment at all!

……

Not many people know that at this time, Zhang Yang was shooting some of the remaining shots of "Speed" in some remote place.

It took half a month to shoot these shots.

On December 10th, Zhang Yang returned to Hollywood again in a low-key manner without alarming any media.

That night, he met with Damon of Dick's company.

During this time, Damon has been calling him non-stop, especially after the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he has been more diligent.

He had only one purpose, to make peace with him as soon as possible. He didn't want to drag it out any longer.

For the sake of their sincerity, Zhang Yang naturally didn't mind meeting with them and having a good talk.

The meeting place is in Damon's own villa in the effect area, which is very safe, and there is no need to worry about being heard by the outside world.

The two of them had dinner together, and then they talked about business very directly.

"Director Zhang, in terms of shares, we can give you another 0.1 percentage points. This is really the greatest sincerity we can come up with. Damon was also very simple, and directly poured beans into a bamboo tube, without playing any negotiation skills. What can be given, how much can be given, he said directly.

Negotiating with people like Zhang Yang who never play according to the routine, he thinks it is better to be sincere.

"1.1?" Zhang Yang nodded thoughtfully.

With the market value of Dick's company, this 1.1% stake is worth almost $300 million, which can be regarded as sincere.

"I can promise this number, but I still have three conditions. Since the other party is so honest, Zhang Yang doesn't bother to beat around the bush with them.

Let's open the skylight and say something bright, save trouble.

"What...... What kind of conditions?" Damon's heart jumped slightly, and he was afraid that the conditions put forward by Zhang Yang would be very frustrating.

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "The first condition, from the moment we sign the peace contract, you must stop all cooperation with Tangram Film and Television, even if you have cooperation now, you must stop immediately." ”

Damon was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect him to put forward such a condition.

Two seconds later, he quickly woke up, gasped hard in his heart, and couldn't help but swallow.

He's not a fool, how could he not know that he was targeting Tangram Film and Television?

As for the reason, he knew better.

It was Tangram Film and Television that put forward the suggestion of suppressing and crowding out publicity. The incident backstage at the Oscars at the beginning of the year was planned and arranged by them.

Zhang Yang must have known the inside story, so he didn't plan to let them go.

He wants Tangram to die!

Thinking about it a little, Damon shuddered unconsciously, and was extremely glad that it was not he who made this suggestion in the first place. Otherwise......

He shuddered when he thought about it.

After being silent for a long time, Damon discussed with Zhang Yang with a look of embarrassment: "Director Zhang, we are now cooperating with them to shoot a big production, and we have invested nearly 100 million US dollars respectively, do you see if it is ......?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, his attitude was very resolute.

"Don't think about this big production, even if it is released in the end, I will make him lose money at all costs. ”

The corners of Damon's mouth twitched violently, and he watched him turn and turn several times, but in the end he didn't say a word.

"Okay, I can agree to this condition. After half a minute of silence, Damon also decisively agreed to this condition.

Since Zhang Yang wants Tangram to die, it is better for them to keep a proper distance from them.

His words have been made very clear, as long as it is a work of Tangram Film and Television, he will hit wildly. When it comes to this, if he is not interested, then he is really hopelessly stupid.

"Okay, second condition. Later, I may need you to cooperate with me to attack Tangram Film and Television, and you can't refuse. Zhang Yang said his second condition.

The corners of Damon's eyes jumped fiercely, and he once again strongly felt the ruthlessness of Zhang Yang.

This is really not leaving a way for Tangram Film and Television to live at all!

The consequences of provoking him are so terrifying?

"Yes. Without thinking too long, Damon agreed again.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, if there is a chance to swallow Tangram Film and Television, of course he won't mind. Not only did he not mind, he was very happy.

"The third condition, whether now or in the future, is that you cannot cooperate with Cohen in any way. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this condition, Damon was directly stunned.

Cohen?

Superstar Cohen?

How did he recruit you?

However, it is certainly inconvenient for him to ask such a question.

"No problem. He agreed to this condition without even thinking about it.

Compared to the previous two conditions, this condition is not a condition at all.

Seeing that he had all agreed, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Then I promise peace talks and will not target you again." ”

"That's great. Damon breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, you still don't have to arrange the release of the movie for the next two months, I have already arranged it before the next Oscars begins. ”

"No problem, we're not in a hurry for a month or two. Damon replied cheerfully.

They don't have such a big courage to show off, a movie will be released when it is released, and they don't do any preliminary preparations.

If their movie is to be released, there will be at least three or four months to promote and make preliminary preparations from the finalization to the release. So, it doesn't make much of a difference to them.

The next step is to sign the agreement and sign the equity transfer letter.

The two conditions that Zhang Yang just said were written into the agreement by him.

As soon as I survived, it was late at night.

"Director Zhang, I want to ask, what are you going to do?" After everything was done, Damon finally asked this question that had been bothering him for a long time.

He's been fighting with the seven major film companies for so long, he can't keep killing like this, right? There must be a solution, right?

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Tangram Film and Television must die." ”

The corner of Damon's eye twitched fiercely.

Although he had already guessed this result, now hearing Zhang Yang say it in person still had a big impact on him.

"What about the others?"

Zhang Yang glanced at him and said, "Although you are the first to sign an agreement with me, you are not the only one who wants to negotiate peace with me. ”

Damon was slightly stunned.

"Gone. Zhang Yang waved at him, got in the car and left.

Damon froze in place, the expression on his face was complicated.

He understood the meaning of Zhang Yang's words.

Tangram Film and Television must die, and several other companies can talk about it.

This also means that in the near future, it may be that several of them will join forces to attack Tangram Film and Television.

That's a bit of a joke!

Thinking of the video conference a few days ago, everyone was still discussing how to deal with Zhang Yang's picture, Damon couldn't help but roll his eyes.

These old foxes!

It's already talking to Zhang Yang over there, and it's pretending to discuss with them here, it's so treacherous!

However, if Zhang Yang had negotiated peace with several other companies, and each company had taken 1% of the shares, wouldn't he have easily earned nearly two billion US dollars?

Thinking of this number, Damon's heart trembled fiercely.

He thinks that the money is so easy to make!

His hard work for most of the year is really rewarding!

……

The next day.

Zhang Yang came to September Film and Television early. Began directing the special effects team in the post-production of Speed IV.

At the same time, the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is also in intense preparation.

In the afternoon of the same day, September Film and Television publicly announced that "Speed" IV will be released on the first day of the new year.

On January 1, he took over "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The news inevitably caused a sensation in all walks of life.

But a sensation is a sensation, whether it is industry insiders or ordinary viewers, it is not surprising at all for this news.

They're all used to it.

It would be really strange if the flamboyant movies were no longer released one after another.

And the film companies were silent for a while after hearing the news.

God knows how complicated their feelings really are.

There are two companies that were just trying to get in touch with Zhang Yang, but now they can't sit still.

They contacted September Film and Television again and wanted them to help spread the word.

They wanted to contact Zhang Yang themselves, but there was no channel at all!

And for the requests of these companies, Lem was also very helpful, and told Zhang Yang their thoughts one by one.

"No, what do you see, I'm busy. ”

Zhang Yang simply refused.

Peace?

It's still early.

Enjoy the torment and pain a little longer.

If I don't beat you crazy, even if I lose!

Ignoring the meeting requests of these companies, Zhang Yang still did what he should do.

Directing the post-production of "Speed" IV, confirming the scenes of the American version of "Infernal Affairs", discussing various performance methods with Leon, looking for another protagonist, etc., etc.

This hectic life lasted for a full week.

On December 17, after arranging the rest of the work, Zhang Yang boarded the flight back to China.

There are only three days left until the opening of the new festival.
