"Mr. Wang, are you looking for me?" Wang Yong asked as calmly as he could, although he guessed something.

Wang Hualin didn't have any superfluous polite words, but said straight to the point: "I watched your news, and it is no exaggeration to say that I have also encountered these things you have encountered." It's just that I couldn't do anything about them before, but now it's different!"

Wang Hualin doesn't need to say the next words too clearly, as long as anyone who pays attention to the international economic situation knows. Wang Hualin's Wanda Cinema Line acquired AMC, the second-largest cinema chain in the United States, a few years ago. AMC acquired three European cinema chains in a row last year.

The current Wanda Cinema Line is no exaggeration to say that it is already the world's largest cinema giant, and Regal is not enough to see in front of Wanda at all!

"Teacher Wang, I have already arranged for someone to communicate with Regal. If Regal still insists on going his own way, then all the films invested by Regal will be treated the same as Wanda Cinemas!" Wang Hualin said in a deep voice.

After Wang Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

Wang Hualin: This is tantamount to tearing up the face of Wang Yong and Regal.

If it is said that Wang Yong and Wang Hualin have a relationship, the two did not know each other before this phone call; if it is said that there is no friendship, Wang Hualin made such a sacrifice for Wang Yong.

It can only be said that although the two do not have a friendship between individuals, they have a friendship by blood. It's like when you walk on the road in a foreign land, thirsty, hungry, and fall, a countryman will stand up and help you up and give you water and food.

This kind of friendship is usually not obvious, but at the critical moment, it sees the truth in adversity.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wang. I don't even know how to thank you enough. Wang Yong said.

Wang Hualin laughed: "If Teacher Wang really wants to thank me, then take me to play." ”

Wang Yong was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"We Wanda Group have been investing in the film industry, and I am very optimistic about the idea of shooting oriental magic movies proposed by Mr. Wang! Your team has the famous monster director Luo Lan, the director Chen Kai, who is the first person to use oriental aesthetic colors, and you, a master of Chinese culture who knows the oriental culture well. I think that no matter how bad the film made by such a team is, it will not lose at the box office, right? As long as you can get one, then you will earn it!" Wang Hualin explained.

As for Wanda's investment strategy, Wang Yong has heard a little. However, Wanda used to fancy famous blockbusters, but I didn't expect Wang Yong to start filming on a whim, and Wanda would also watch it.

"Rest assured, we are only investing and absolutely do not interfere in any decisions made about the film. Nor will they forcibly stuff a celebrity or ask for brand promotion. Wang Hualin saw that Wang Yong didn't speak, and thought that Wang Yong was worried about this, so he immediately said.

"Mr. Wang is so sincere, what else can I say? Welcome Mr. Wang to join the film project team of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"!" Wang Yong said.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Wang Hualin was slightly stunned. "As far as I know, this ancient book is just a geography book that records all kinds of myths and spirits. Wouldn't it be a little boring to make a film like this?"

"The reason why the name "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is used is because it has a very distinct representative meaning in Eastern culture. Anyone who knows anything about Chinese culture will think of those legends of gods and monsters with a strong oriental style when they see these three words, so it is easy for people to know what this movie wants to express. Of course, for Western audiences, we will adopt another strategy in translation, such as translating "The key to time and space", which is more in line with Hollywood style. If Mr. Wang has any good suggestions, he can also say it. Now it's just the planning stage, and you can discuss and brainstorm before the script is written. ”

"Listening to Mr. Wang's explanation, I have no suggestions. Regarding the investment amount and the specific contract, I will directly ask the person in charge of Hollywood Legendary Film and Television to talk to you. In a word, come on, shoot the culture and style of our Chinese people!" Wang Hualin finished speaking and hung up the phone.

And Roland and Miye, who had been eavesdropping on Wang Yong's conversation, still looked puzzled at first, but after hearing the words of Legendary Pictures, they immediately jumped up.

Because Legendary Pictures is so thunderous. It owns well-known movie IPs such as "Warcraft", "Godzilla", "Batman", "Pacific Rim", "Inception", etc., and Roland has also had a cooperation experience with Legendary Pictures.

"Oh, oh, I know, Wang! It's the new owner of Legendary Pictures who called you! He just bought Legendary Pictures! I forgot that he is also from Huaxia, and I finally understand why you and Chen Kai laughed like that just now. If I were replaced, I would laugh like crazy......" Roland was surprised and couldn't stop talking.

Miel was completely stunned.

He didn't expect that Wang Yong would still be able to find the support of such a giant! The world's first cinema line, Wanda and Legendary Pictures, the combination of the two terms is enough to make all Hollywood filmmakers faint!

What Regal, what director's union, it's all rubbish!

Wang Yong put down the phone and said with a smile: "You have heard my conversation with Mr. Wang just now, okay, now there is basically no need to worry about the theater problem." I think Regal will soon make a compromise, after all, Regal is still a company for the purpose of making money, not a political organization. Now the only thing we need to worry about is the screenwriter, if it really doesn't work, I have a proposal, and the screenwriter will be a few of us together. Director Roland is familiar with Hollywood story routines, and Director Chen Kai and I are familiar with the oriental cultural structure, although it is not as good as those professional big-name screenwriters, it is better than finding a random ......"

"Look at it again, it's really not going to be like this. Roland nodded.

As a veteran director, Roland knows the importance of a good screenwriter for films. Hollywood has developed for so many years and created many box office miracles, and the screenwriter has contributed a lot. The screenwriting experience accumulated in it is enough to make a book a book. It's really not something that a few half-outsiders can surpass. So if possible, try to hire a professional screenwriter.

"Well, it's lunchtime. I'm in for a treat, let's rub it off!" Wang Yong waved his hand generously and said.

The worst fears have been resolved, and of course there is a need for a celebration.

So Roland and the others responded enthusiastically and prepared to leave.

It was only a few people who stood up, and suddenly heard a knock on the office door: "Boss, someone is looking for you." ”

"Who? Wang Yong looked at the door strangely and said.

Then the office door was pushed open, and behind a Sword and Stone Pictures staff member stood a young man with slightly sloppy hair and a slightly pale face.

"This is the gentleman. After the staff finished speaking, they took their leave.

The young man smiled at Wang Yong and the others a little crampedly, and walked into the office.

"Good Mr. Wang, good director Roland, good Mr. Miye, good director Chen Kai. The young man was quite polite and said hello to everyone in the room.

What is a little surprising is that this young man who is proficient in spoken English actually knows Chen Kai.

"Are you from Huaxia?" Wang Yong glanced at the young man and asked.

The young man smiled embarrassedly: "Strictly speaking, I am Chinese. My grandfather immigrated to the United States at an early age, and I grew up in the United States, and my knowledge of China was limited to travel. In the future, if I have the chance, I would love to return to this long-lost home. ”

"Oh. Wang Yong nodded. "And what are you looking for me?"

The young man seemed to remember the purpose of this trip at this time, took out a resume from his pocket, and handed it to Wang Yong: "My name is Alvin, and I also have a Chinese name, Lu Wentao, which was given to me by my grandfather according to the ranking of family generations. ”

Wang Yong took the resume, just glanced at it, and showed a surprised expression.

Then Wang Yong passed his resume to Roland and others.

"Such a rich experience?" Miye was also very surprised.

"The only pity is that there is no single girder, if there is, it is quite suitable. Chen Kai also sighed.

Roland was noncommittal, but squinted at the resume, and suddenly asked: "The screenwriter of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" old Charles has a habit of drinking coffee, what is it?"

Lu Wentao didn't think about it, so he replied: "Drink half a cup first and then add sugar cubes." ”

"How many ladies are there on the writing crew of "Legend of the Angry Dragon"?"

"One, Miss Abby. ”

"When "Liaoyuan Battlefield" was written, a character's role was crossed out, what is that role called?"

"Sergeant Barnett, because his character was cut because of racial discrimination. ”

……

One question after another, Lu Wentao answered all of them fluently.

In the end, Roland's eyes lit up: "He got it all right! He did work as a screenwriter in the crews of these blockbusters! It's incredible! It's the first time I've met a screenwriter who has been in so many blockbuster crews!"

Lu Wentao's resume is full of movie names about the screenwriting he has participated in!

It's just that he has never served as the first or second screenwriter, and every film is ranked outside the top five or six.

This is the only regret and drawback.

Wang Yong watched quietly, and suddenly interjected and asked: "Can you explain why you have participated in the filming of so many blockbusters, but you can only rank in the fifth or sixth place in the screenwriting team? It stands to reason that if you have mixed so many crews, even if you are not popular, you will be famous." It is impossible for someone like you to know so little. ”

Wang Yong is worried that this Lu Wentao is a bastard, because he is too mixed, so he has never been reused.

Lu Wentao's eyes showed a hint of gloom, and he shook his head and said, "It's very simple, because of my Chinese bloodline." Hollywood will agree to an Indian or African to be the first screenwriter, but it will never agree to a Chinese to be the first screenwriter. The reason why I came to you this time, Mr. Wang, is also because you are from Huaxia, and you may not look at me with colored eyes. ”

Wang Yong observed Lu Wentao's entire expression when he spoke, eyebrows, eyes, lips, fingers, and his entire physical state.

Eventually, it was confirmed that the young man was not lying, and that he was telling the truth.

Otherwise, with his qualifications, he wouldn't have even been the first screenwriter of a movie. If he was really a bastard, there should be at least one example of his failure as the lead screenwriter, but the current situation is that there is none.

It only shows that he has indeed been despised all the time.

And his ability to continue to mix in so many blockbuster crews shows that he does have the ability to surpass most Hollywood screenwriters.

"Please remove the word 'maybe'. Welcome to Sword Stone Pictures!" Wang Yong stretched out his hand and said with a smile on his face.

In fact, from the moment he saw the resume, Wang Yong was moved by this young man. is not only because of the experience of the blockbuster crew, but also because of another reason.
