Chapter 228: Monopolizing the Future
Maybe it's because he came to Hong Kong, Ye San obviously wants to be a little more open, at least this kind of "how many genuine pirated tapes flow from Pengcheng to the mainland every year" would definitely not be said when he was in the magic capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's good, the last two songs of the classical album I prepared for Teresa have been completed, and the lyrics are Li Yu's "Going to the West Building Alone Without a Word" and Su Shi's "When Will the Bright Moon Be There," Li Xu said immediately, "It must be a great thing to be released to the north." ”
As I said before, because of his original warning, Teresa Teng was not forced to make those inexplicable declarations, so the mainland still turned a blind eye to the flood tapes carrying her songs.
Although it is still a bit risky to release the album directly in the mainland, as long as no people are involved, Wanwan will definitely turn a blind eye.
That's the change.
Ye San was a little stunned at this time, Su Shi and "When Will the Bright Moon Exist" He still had some impressions, but Li Yu and "Going to the West Building Alone Without a Word" were completely dizzy, and he was still a little unprofessional.
However, he wisely did not continue the topic: "The continent is so big, how are you going to choose?"
"Hmm...... How about choosing from the Yue Opera troupes from all over the country?" Li Xu thought for a moment.
"Oh, why is that?" Ye San was curious.
"It's very simple, I just happened to listen to a Yue opera when I went to the magic capital before, and it seems that there are Yue opera troupes everywhere, so I started from this aspect. Li Xu spread his hands.
"That's it?" Ye San couldn't cry or laugh, "It's too willful, right?"
"It's not entirely counted," Li Xu waved his hand, "There are several advantages to picking people from the Yue Opera Troupe, first of all, the girls in the troupe must have received vocal training, and then it will be easier to turn to pop songs; ”
"Yes...... Is that so?" Ye San was a little confused, and he didn't know if what he said was true or if he was fooling.
"Anyway, that's it," Li Xu said very firmly, "That's it, the movement is not so big, just choose among the Yue Opera troupes in Yanjing, Modu and Jiangsu, I believe that the Yue Opera troupes in these places are the best." ”
"Well, just do as you say. Ye San laughed.
Then he lowered his voice again: "By the way, Xiao Li, can you introduce it to me...... What's the matter?,Hey.,It's Miss Teresa Teng.,I don't mean anything else.,I just want to meet.,Help a friend ask for an autograph or something.。 ”
Seeing Ye San's serious appearance, Li Xu suddenly wanted to laugh, and then patted him on the shoulder with a sigh: "I'm really sorry, Brother Ye, Teresa is in the United States, next time, next time I will definitely introduce you to you." ”
"That's right. Ye San looked very regretful, "Then ...... Then next time. ”
It's a shame that smartphones have to wait 30 years, and it will be quite interesting to be able to take a picture of him like this, 30 years later.
"By the way, what about Zhao Yazhi, I watched "Shanghai Beach", "Huo Yuanjia", "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love", she is very beautiful. Ye San, who regretted it for a few seconds, immediately said: "Of course, I really don't mean anything else." ”
"I'm still sorry, Brother Ye, she hasn't come back in the United States at this time. Li Xu spread out his hands, and then changed the topic and asked, "Speaking of which, how are you preparing for "Blood Battle Taierzhuang"?"
"Bloody Battle Taierzhuang?" Ye Sanleng paused, and it took a few seconds to react, "I don't know this very well, but it seems that Bayi Studio is already looking for someone to write the script." ”
"Oh. Li Xu nodded and said that he knew, and remembered that the gossip in another time and space said that the script seemed to have been there for a long time, but it had not been filmed, and then the Gui Provincial Studio took the lead in proposing to shoot it, and then found Bayi Studio, so there was this movie.
It's a pity that as Ye San said, with his identity, he will definitely not care about this, if he wants to know what the difference is, he will have to wait until he goes to the mainland to ask.
"To be honest, Xiao Li, why are you so enthusiastic about 'Blood Battle Taierzhuang'?" Ye San asked after looking at him for a while.
"I'm an international friend, and I hope you both sides reconcile. Li Xu replied solemnly, and only laughed again after seeing the corners of Ye San's mouth twitch.
"Actually, that's the case, I just invested in a movie, which is a Xianxia movie based on the script of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" by the owner of Huanzhu Mansion, have you read that novel?" Li Xu explained.
"Well, that's a bit impressive. Ye San recalled and nodded.
"I told the director that it is recommended to go to the north for filming, such as Wuyue, Huangshan, Zhangjiajie, as well as Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng, and the swordsmen of Shushan. However, framing is one thing, and specific filming is another, if Hong Kong actors go to the mainland to make movies, they will be banned by Wanwan. Li Xu immediately said the prohibition order on the Wanwan side.
"It's too stingy, it's too stingy," Ye San said immediately, "We won't be like this, as long as the above agrees, our actors can come to Hong Kong to go to Wanwan to make movies!"
"So, if peace and communication between you are restored as soon as possible, I will be able to let the Hong Kong crew go to the mainland for filming," Li Xu said, "You have so many beautiful rivers and mountains, it's a pity that you can't show them in front of the world." ”
After being silent for a few minutes, Ye San sighed: "Xiao Li, you really like movies." ”
"To be exact, I like to create a whole new world in movies," Li Xu shrugged, "just like I like to discover those girls, who may be unknown or mediocre for a lifetime, but I have discovered their talents, nurtured them, and given them the opportunity and stage to display their talents." When they shine in my hands and are recognized, the sense of accomplishment is no less than the establishment of a company and the development of the peak. ”
Speaking of this, he raised his hands: "Think about it, if 20 or 30 years from now, all the classic movies, all the classic roles, are all held by me, what it will be like." ”
Ye San couldn't help but sigh lightly when he heard this.
After having dinner together, Li Xu also said goodbye, although he and Ye San were whispering for most of the afternoon, none of the people present expressed dissatisfaction, and they were all very immediate, which made him slightly disappointed.
As the protagonist, no one jumped out and slapped his face, and no one said anything like "what are you" and "you deserve to sit with me", which is really a bit of a failure.
To tell the truth, which author wrote this? Can't even pretend to be 13?
Okay, let's go back to reality, it seems that Li Xu seemed to be invited by Ye San, who happened to come to Hong Kong, to come over for a walk, make friends with a few people, talk about the joint venture record company set up in Yangcheng, and play it at will, but in fact, what ......
Some things don't need to be discussed, and many things are naturally done by the people below, and their appearance to chat together is a gesture in itself.
Of course, Ye San's appetite is not big, after all, the cripple will not be until 84 years later......
So let's talk about Fengyuebei, anyway, Li Xu bets that what they say to each other, the other party will repeat it to the above word for word when they go back. I just don't know, if there will be a vase of sweetness in the future, is it his true love, or is it affected?
invested in "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", prepared "Memory Fragments", paid attention to the trailer and publicity of "50 First Loves", and met Ye San in Hong Kong, and by the way, sold a favor to Golden Harvest, and the matter of coming to Hong Kong this time is almost the same.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also some small things, such as Shaw Brothers, who made a fortune from "The Officer and the Gentleman", hoping that there will be another opportunity to make a big deal with a small one.
Of course there is, Li Xu has already bought the copyright of "Mother and Daughter Love", and it is estimated that the cost will be 8 million to 9 million at most, James? L. Brooks has agreed to direct and is working on the script.
This guy hasn't mixed up yet, and he likes the original book of "Mother and Daughter Love" very much, and he is already very happy to be in charge of the guide of this novel and participate in the writing of the script.
Shao Renmei and Shao Liu are naturally willing to invest, "The Officer and the Gentleman" made them earn 20 million Hong Kong dollars lying down, and the potential has not been squeezed out yet, which has fully proved Li Xu's vision, what else do they have to hesitate?
They even said they were willing to invest $2 million, even if Li Xu told them that the film's prospects would be slightly lower than that of "The Officer and the Gentleman."
In this case, don't do it in vain, anyway, when the time comes, it will not be as good as "The Officer and the Gentleman", and they will naturally be sober.
In the final analysis, even Shao Renmei loves movies, but after all, he is still old, and with the influence of his younger brother, he is gradually becoming conservative, and it is good that movies can make money.
Therefore, the most enterprising Hong Kong film company is still only Golden Harvest, so if Zou Wenhuai shows sincerity, he will not mind introducing "Back to the Future" to him.
Because of his good relationship with Spielberg, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" has also been set for June this year, so when he was in Los Angeles on New Year's Day, Li Xu specially visited him and stayed for a few hours.
During this period, Spielberg mentioned in passing that a friend had created a very interesting script in which the young male protagonist travels back to the 50s through a time machine and almost dates his mother, who is still very young.
Li Xu reacted immediately, after all, although this idea is not unique, it is the "Back to the Future" series that carries it forward, so that many movies have borrowed it in the future, such as "New Difficult Brothers", or "Riding the Wind and Waves".
So I immediately asked Spielberg for a phone number, and soon contacted Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, and after an appointment to talk, he immediately said that he could invest.
And in his capacity as a member of Paramount's board of directors, the issuance is not a problem.
"Yes...... However, according to our preliminary budget, the investment ...... The investment may be above 10 million. Zemeckis' eyes widened at the time.
"Don't worry, I'll invite more people to share the risk. Li Xu waved his hand indifferently, "If you are really worried, why don't we sign another contract, no matter whether this movie is a loss or a profit, you have to make a movie for me that can make money." I will try to respect you guys as much as possible during the production of Back to the Future, but in the production of that film, everything must be listened to me!"
As for which movie it is, of course, it is the American version of "True Colors of Heroes", Zemeckis is also a good director, as for "Forrest Gump" or something, let's wait.
