Listening to Lem's inquiry, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Lem, of course I'm serious. To tell you the truth, in addition to these three movies registered in Hollywood, I also have two other films in preparation in China. In addition, there will be new movies launched in the future. ”

"What?" Lem looked at him with wide eyes, his face full of horror.

Xia was also shocked by this sentence.

Three in Hollywood and two in China?

And there's a follow-up?

Are you going to make seven or eight movies in a year?

Oh, my God!

Do you know how scary this is?

Are you really not kidding?

Do you have the legendary doppelganger?

How dare you play like that?

"Director Zhang......" Lem wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Yang waving his hand.

"Mr. Lem, I know this sounds like an exaggeration, but I'm really not kidding. Zhang Yang looked at him and said very seriously.

"......" Lem looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.

The news was really scary, and he needed time to digest it.

"Think about it, and if you feel like you can work together, we'll continue talking. If you think it's too risky to bear, that's okay, we'll just work with Speed. I'll find someone else to work on the remaining two films. Zhang Yang said very sincerely.

The risk of the film market is very great, not to mention new movies, even Hollywood blockbusters have a great chance of capsizing, and even series movies may lose money.

The content is not good-looking, how can the audience buy it?

So Zhang Yang gave Lem time to think about it.

He knew his film wouldn't lose money, but Lem didn't!

It is indeed very difficult for them, who have experienced strong winds and waves, to believe that he can make money in these seven or eight movies.

They are not Cheng Qingguang, it is impossible to believe him so unreservedly. It's normal for them to worry about the risks, and even if they don't cooperate, he's understandable.

Of course, he can also promote this cooperation in a way that guarantees that these films will definitely make money.

But that's a bit cheap.

It looked as if he was begging for the other party's cooperation.

He didn't want the other party to feel that way, he needed to take all the initiative into his own hands.

He is no longer the same person he was when he first came to Hollywood, and he no longer needs to use this low-profile approach to facilitate these collaborations.

Now he is fully qualified to negotiate terms with major Hollywood film companies.

What's more, he thinks September Film and Television will agree to these cooperations.

There are risks, yes, but there are also huge benefits hidden in these risks!

Lem is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, how can he not see through this?

"Don't think about it. ”

Sure enough, Lem agreed, and the time to think about it was shorter than he thought.

"As long as it's your work, we'll take it! We'll take as many as you want! Take as much as you want!" Lem looked at Zhang Yang, his tone was affirmative, and he said it categorically.

He didn't even ask what the budget was for these films.

Do these things matter?

Of course it's important!

If it's working with someone else, not to mention the budget, even the script will probably have to be reviewed several times before making a decision. However, Zhang Yang does not need it.

Because he has proven his abilities to them more than once.

Risk?

The risk of bullshit!

In the current film market, who dares to say that the risk of their films is lower than that of Zhang Yang?

It is no exaggeration to say that a movie with a flamboyant sign is the least risky of all the films.

His films, almost without risk!

Aside from the failure of "Infernal Affairs" in Hollywood, has he ever failed?

No!

Never!

Therefore, after hearing Zhang Yang say that he wanted to cooperate with others, he immediately recovered from the huge shock.

Promise!

Gotta say yes!

How could you miss such a great opportunity?

Before, he was looking forward to Zhang Yang collaborating with them in a few more movies, but now that the opportunity has really come, he can't be happy, how can he refuse?

Listening to Lem's answer, Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Okay, then let's talk about how these movies will work together?"

Lem said, "You say. ”

Of course, he did not forget that they did not have any initiative at all when it came to such a thing as cooperation.

Almost all of them have the final say.

Thinking about it, he is really a little wronged......

Zhang Yang asked: "The investment in these films is very large, at least starting at 50 million US dollars. How much can you afford?"

"How much can we pitch?" Lem asked.

The "Speed" series Zhang Yang only gave them 30% of the investment, and he has always been a little resentful.

"Half, fifty percent. Zhang Yang said, "You can vote up to fifty percent." ”

"Fifty percent then!" replied Lem without hesitation.

"Yes. Zhang Yang also replied very simply, "However, although the investment is half of one person, the cooperation model is still the same." You're only in charge of the channels and distribution, and I'll decide the rest. And the copyright or something is still owned by me. ”

"No problem. Lem wasn't surprised, because that's how Speed came together.

"In addition, you have to prepare and provide the manpower and technology. ”

"No problem. Lem was full of sincerity and agreed to all these requests made by Zhang Yang, without any intention of bargaining.

Because he knows it's useless to bargain......

When they first collaborated on "Speed", they tried to bargain, but the result was that they had a blue nose and swollen face.

Zhang Yang was not embarrassed at all, and continued to talk about his conditions.

The requirements for the staff, the requirements for the props, the requirements for the channels, the requirements for the preliminary preparation of these films, etc.

He even mentioned the release of several domestic films to Hollywood.

All kinds of requirements, so detailed that both Lem and Sia felt a little incredible.

How long has he been preparing for these movies?

How doesn't that sound like it was prepared during this time?

Could it be that he had already prepared these movies and decided to come up with them now?

Thinking of this, Lem couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

If you have been preparing a movie for a long time, the quality will definitely not be bad.

September Film and Television may really turn over!

After all the requirements, it is time to sign the contract.

The requirements I just mentioned are listed one by one......

I survived, and it was dark.

"This is the preliminary work for the two new films, and you should arrange the manpower to prepare as soon as possible. The sooner we prepare, the sooner we can shoot. After signing the contract, Zhang Yang handed the two documents that had been prepared to Lem, "In addition, the funds on my side will be in place within a week." ”

Funding for these, of course, continues to be handed over to West Asia. He's only in charge of the film, and he doesn't care about the mess about expenses.

"Don't worry, I will arrange the manpower to prepare as soon as possible. Lem said excitedly.

Zhang Yang nodded with a smile and said, "By the way, you give me a list of actors in your company, and I'll see how many suitable actors I can find." ”

Regarding the actor's matter, he also made it very clear just now.

If there is no suitable actor in September Film and Television, he must find it from the outside.

In this regard, although Lem is a little unwilling, he also understands. After all, he also knows how important a suitable actor is to a movie.

"I'll have someone send it to your mailbox early tomorrow morning. ”

"Good. Zhang Yang responded, then took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Lem, I want to know, how many of these major Hollywood film companies are eager to kill me?"

"Huh?" Lem was stunned for a moment, and said with some astonishment: "Director Zhang, why are you asking this?"

"Just curious to know. Zhang Yang said with a smile.

He didn't say that he was going to these studios to prepare so many movies, he was afraid that saying it would scare them.

This kind of thing, let's wait until the movie is released after it is filmed, and it won't take too long anyway.

Lem glanced at him and said, "As far as I know, in the matter of suppressing you, the other seven major film companies are involved, it's just a matter of more or less." ”

"Are all involved?" Zhang Yang was slightly stunned, but he didn't seem too surprised.

In the face of interests, it is not too unusual for these competitors who usually fight to the death to join forces to form a team or something.

"Yes, all involved. Lem replied in the affirmative, "One of the most important is Tangram Film and Television, and they planned the last time they were backstage at the Oscars." ”

September Film and Television is worthy of being one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, and they actually inquired about this matter.

"Tangram Film and Television?" Zhang Yang frowned, and said in his heart, why does this name sound so familiar?

Lem saw his doubts and explained: "When "Speed" was released last year, they also had a movie released, and they were crushed by "Speed". ”

"Oh" Zhang Yang suddenly realized and quickly remembered.

If he's not mistaken, that big-name Cohen seems to be a Tangram movie.

"Maybe it's because I suffered a big loss in your hands last year that Tangram Film and Television will be so active this time and want to kill you so urgently. ”

"I see. Zhang Yang nodded slowly and didn't say anything more.

Hollywood's seven major studios all want to suppress him, which sounds a little scary.

But it doesn't matter, the more people there are, the more people it has.

After the work was over, it was dark and my stomach was hungry......

Lem insisted on inviting Zhang Yang to dinner. Zhang Yang couldn't refuse, so he went.

The meal was eaten for several hours, and Zhang Yang did not return to the hotel until late at night.

After a tired day, he ignored the jet lag and fell asleep.

He slept soundly, but Lem didn't feel sleepy.

He was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy!

Three big-budget movies are running at the same time!

And there may be more to come!

Just thinking about it makes his blood boil.

Although Zhang Yang didn't say it, he could somewhat guess that some of the works he came up with were related to the last time he was backstage at the Oscars.

He could guess that Zhang Yang was angered by the other film companies.

He could also guess that he had come up with so many works at once and was going for them.

Is this a provocation?

With his understanding of Zhang Yang, it should be.

Zhang Yang is a strong person!

He never seemed to know what it meant to be afraid.

For Lem, though, none of that matters.

The important thing is that they now have three flamboyant movies!

Looking at the three folders in the bag, Lem felt very secure.

These three movies are made, even if they can't make a lot of money, even if they can't become hits, they will definitely change the ranking of September Film and Television in Hollywood, right?

Thinking of this, where can he still sit still, regardless of the fact that it is late at night, he directly began to arrange the preparations for these movies.

He is more desperate than Zhang Yang to make these movies a day earlier.

He also wants to see what the other major studios will look like when these movies are made and ready to be released.

……

The next day.

Zhang Yang was resurrected with full blood and began to check the list of actors sent by Lem.

September Film and Television, as one of Hollywood's veteran companies, naturally has a lot of actors. It's just because they've been going downhill all these years that there aren't many well-known actors.

There are not enough good resources, but all actors who have a little idea are not willing to renew their contracts and waste time. After all, the renewal of the entertainment industry is very fast. Even if it is a well-known actor, if there is no work for too long, it will hurt them a lot.

Without resources, actors are lost. The continuous loss of actors and actresses has led to fewer and fewer resources and opportunities for film and television in September, thus forming a vicious circle......

That is, September has a deep film and television background, otherwise it may not be able to support it for a long time.

Zhang Yang also knows a little about these insiders. However, this will not affect his choice of actors.

If the actors of September Film and Television are not suitable for the roles in the movie, he will not make do with them.

He would rather spend a lot of money digging into the corners than make do.

But he also knows that with his embarrassing position in Hollywood now, it is also a difficult thing to dig into the corner.

After the Oscars backstage incident, almost the entire Hollywood entertainment industry already knew that he was suppressed by several film companies......

At this time, I am afraid that few people dare to cooperate with him.

Under the joint suppression of several major film companies, who knows if his movie will be released as scheduled after it is made?

Even if it is released, who knows if it will become a day trip to the theater as pitifully as "Infernal Affairs"?

Seriously, those who dare to cooperate with him at this time are people with great courage......

What if I can't dig a corner?

I'm afraid I'll have to spend more time looking for new people.

However, Zhang Yang still tends to dig into the corners.

Movies are not as good as TV series, after all, it costs money to buy tickets before you can see the content. If you use all newcomers, you will be several levels weaker in terms of publicity alone.

Seeing that the promotional posters are full of people I don't know, the attraction to the audience is greatly reduced.

Therefore, even if he uses a newcomer, he will definitely find a super big name to lead the team, otherwise the risk is really too great. 2k reading web
