Hollywood, also known as Hollywood, is located on the west coast of the United States, just outside Los Angeles, California.
It is a world-famous film center, and the annual Academy Awards ceremony here is the world's premier event for cinema.
Hollywood is not only the birthplace of global fashion, but also the center of the global music and film industry, with the world's top entertainment industry and luxury brands, leading and representing the highest level of global fashion, such as Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Sony Corporation, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., Movie giants such as Paramount, as well as top record labels like RCAJIVEInterscopeRecords, are all gathered in the scope of Hollywood, where fashion and technology are mutually restrained and developed, naturally unpretentious, with a deep fashion heritage and majestic technology to support, has been imitated around the world.
Hollywood is a holy place for any filmmaker, and Xu Cun is no exception.
However, Xu Cun and the rest of the DreamWorks crew didn't go directly to Hollywood, or even to Los Angeles — Xu Cun led the DreamWorks crew to Glendale, twelve kilometers north of Los Angeles.
As early as a few months ago, Xu Cun asked Tang Shuxuan to help him find someone - Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Born in New York City, Jeffrey Katzenberg is best known for his role as chairman of the film division at Disney and for producing the animated film Shrek. In 1984, when he was the Chief Administrative Officer of The Disney Company, he created some of the most unique and highest-paid animations, such as: "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "And The Lion King".
The reason why Xu Cun looked for Jeffrey is that Jeffrey is one of the original DreamWorks Big Three and is also a very capable talent. Therefore, Xu Cun, who wanted to establish a ********, hired Jeffrey to run DreamWorks (Mei G Branch).
In order to invite Jeffrey, Xu Cun invested a one-time investment of $1 million to establish DreamWorks (Mei G Branch) in Glendale, and also gave Jeferry 10% of the shares for free, and hired Jerferry as the general manager of DreamWorks (Mei G Branch).
But even so, Jeffrey was reluctant to leave Paramount to help him as a mid-G man.
Later, Tang Shuxuan told Jeffrey about Xu Cun's brilliant achievements in Asia, and told Jeffrey that Xu Cun was going to come to Hollywood to invest $12 million in filming "ET", and Jeffrey confirmed that what Tang Shuxuan said was true, and then agreed to talk to Xu Cun.
After that, Xu Cun and Jeffrey talked several times, focusing on the development prospects of cartoon films, and Jeffrey reluctantly agreed to be the general manager of DreamWorks (US G Branch).
……
Jeffrey's abilities are not ordinary—in just a few months, he has built DreamWorks into a full-fledged film company, and he has built a boulder logo in front of the company with DreamWorks opening credits.
Almost all of the people in the gang who came to Mei G with Xu Cun are earth leopards, and Mei G has a strong sense of mystery in the eyes of these people. Therefore, knowing that Xu Cun has a film company, they respect Xu Cun even more!
While respecting Xu Cun, they were also a little puzzled - Xiangjiang's DreamWorks only rented a few office buildings as offices, but Mei's DreamWorks was built on a large scale, is Xu Cun ready to focus on the development of Meijiang G and Hollywood?
With such doubts, under the leadership of Tang Shuxuan and Jeffrey, everyone
In recent months, Xu Cun and Jeffrey have spoken to each other countless times. So, although the two met for the first time, they were not strangers.
Therefore, after the three of them sat down, Xu Cun went directly to the topic and said, "Jeffrey, how are the company's procedures?"
"Almost, now, you just have to go to some specific departments in person to sign some documents, and DreamWorks is yours. Jeffrey said.
"It's ours. Xu Cun corrected.
"Sister Tang, how is the contact between ILM and Stan Winston's studio?
"We all agreed, but George, the owner of ILM, was a little unhappy with the fact that we had three animation teams for one movie at the same time. Tang Shuxuan said.
"Leave him alone - animation is a money-burning place, and not everyone has the courage to spend millions of dollars on animation. And, as far as I know, since "Star Wars", ILM has never had a big production like us, and I guess that the current Industrial Light & Magic would love to have a big production like ours to do special effects. Xu Cun said.
As soon as Xu Cun's words came out, Jeffrey nodded secretly in his heart!
Jeffrey admired Xu Cun's judgment. The facts are indeed the same as Xu Cun guessed - many people know that animation effects are the development trend of movies, but few people are willing to spend money on special effects. Therefore, even a special effects team as famous as Industrial Light & Magic is facing an embarrassing situation where it is difficult to survive.
After the two things he was most concerned about were implemented, Xu Cun said: "Jeffrey, let's go to turn DreamWorks into a legal film studio in the next two days, and then you and Sister Tang will meet Carlo and Stan according to the arrangement, and I will talk to them about the production of "ET". ”
"Okay, as you wish. Jeffrey said with a slight shrug.
"By the way, Jeffrey, I also brought a movie, can you see if there are any studios willing to release it?" Xu Cun said.
"What movie? 'Lucky Stars' or 'Royal Sisters'?" asked Jeffrey.
"Royal Sisters. Xu Cun replied.
"I'll give it a try, 'Royal Sister' is doing well at the box office in Asia, and I think there will be studios willing to release it. Jeffrey said.
"Preferably one of the eight major film companies, at this stage I would like to find a long-term partner. Xu Cun said.
Xu Cun's obviously contradictory words made Jeffrey see Xu Cun's ambitions, but he didn't say anything about it - there are too many filmmakers around the world who come to Hollywood with ambitions like Xu Cun, but only a few of them can realize their ambitions, and the vast majority can only become a stepping stone for these few people. Although Jeffrey admires Xu Cun's achievements in Asia, he does not think that Xu Cun can also become one of those people.
But no matter what, Xu Cun has added an important resume to his life. So, Jeffrey still in the spirit of professional ethics, said: "Okay, BOSS, I'll contact you in a moment." ”
