However, Fang Mingyuan's next sentence made Spielberg turn sad into joy

"Director Spielberg, you should know, since my debut, the filming of every work must have Kumho Film Group to participate in the cooperation, otherwise, Ms. Yu Qiuxuan will not be able to spare me" Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and said helplessly, "I really don't know, who is the major shareholder of the two of us", Spielberg couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Since you decided to come to meet Fang Mingyuan, Spielberg naturally has to know about Fang Mingyuan's past For these things about him and the Guo family over the years, Naturally, I have heard of it, and it is indeed as Fang Mingyuan said, whether the script he took out, whether it was handed over to Hong Kong filmmakers to shoot or shot by Cameron, Kumho Film Group has a leg in it, and it is precisely because of this that a film company that did not exist a few years ago has now become the largest film group company in Hong Kong, and it is full of talents, "although it is not comparable to the big Hollywood companies", but it is not inferior to those old companies in Hong Kong

And the current head of Kumho Film Group is the daughter-in-law of the Hong Kong Guo family, Yu Qiuxuan, a young woman who originally had no intersection with movies at all, but Spielberg also had to admit that Kumho Group can have today, on the one hand, because Fang Mingyuan can continue to provide high-quality scripts, and on the other hand, Yu Qiuxuan has also contributed to the management of the group company

"If director Spielberg, you can convince Sister Qiu Xuan to hand over "The Mouse Trap" to DreamWorks alone, then I have no opinion here" Fang Mingyuan irresponsibly kicked the ball to Yu Qiuxuan, who was far away in Hong Kong

Spielberg laughed haha, "Fang Mingyuan's answer did not surprise him, and before he came, Spielberg had thought about how to cooperate with Kumho Film Group

The reason is actually very simple, although Huaxia has opened up the film to the import market, but the limited number can only have twelve foreign films imported every year, and it is broadcast in Guoran, although it is said that these twelve places are almost all covered by Hollywood, but these Hollywood film companies are not satisfied that Huaxia has the most people on shijie" It means that it is the largest hidden movie market Today, when the film market in Europe and the United States is becoming increasingly saturated, This market is especially important for these Hollywood studios, and for the production of hundreds of Hollywood films a year, the twelve import slots are too small and too small for these studios to allocate and compete for these slots, and Hollywood studios can simply break their heads

Spielberg realized a long time ago that the existence of Jinjiang Group is a special case, because Hong Kong's return to the motherland is imminent, the film market in mainland China has opened up for Hong Kong films, as long as the film can be approved by the relevant government departments, "it can enter the mainland market", there is no clear quantitative limit, and Kumho Film Group and Emerald Bird Film Group Company are undoubtedly taking advantage of this loophole, Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd. In addition to the first two cooperative films, the Emerald Bird Film Group Co., Ltd. is a 55-5 investment, the rest of the films, Although the vast majority of the actors are Europeans and Americans, the filming venues are also in Europe and the United States, and the director is Cameron, but they will always arrange a Hong Kong director to be an assistant director, and then go in, a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers, who know the inside story, know that those Hong Kong people are going to learn and lay down, and there is no real power in the crew at all, "everything is Cameron's final say, but externally" is a unified voice, and it is the cooperation of two major film companies

In this way, these movies can naturally be regarded as Hong Kong films, and they can enter Huaxia without occupying those twelve places, to be honest, "Seeing that the Emerald Bird Film Group Company is thriving because of its cooperation with Kumho Film Group Company, and the bosses of other Hollywood film companies are not jealous, that is a liar."

During this period, it is not that no other film companies have requested cooperation with Kumho Film Group, but they have all been politely rejected by Kumho Film Group~ If you don't refuse politely, it won't work, when Kumho Film Group was founded, it was a grass stage team, and there was no team of its own at all, and it was said that it was a cooperative shooting with the Emerald Bird Film Group Company and the local film company in Hong Kong, but in fact, no one could send anyone except the script and financial personnel

Emerald Bird Film Group Company has Cameron who can help control Hong Kong's local film company" There is a behemoth like Kwok's Shipping Group, so naturally there is no need to worry, but if you change to another film company, Kumho Film Group Company, who is not familiar with the inside story, has been sold by others, but now it is different, after these years of continuous cultivation of talents, as well as poaching from major film companies, Kumho Film Group finally has a team that can handle it, although said, It can't be compared with those old Hollywood film companies, but in Hong Kong, Kumho Film Group is already a well-deserved leader

At this time, Kumho Film Group really had the confidence to cooperate with other Hollywood studios, and the lucky one selected by Fang Mingyuan and Yu Qiuxuan was DreamWorks

As the saying goes, men chase women in the mountains, and women chase men in the layers of paper, "If the two are happy, it is**

Since both parties are interested in cooperating, the next thing is simple, Spielberg and Fang Mingyuan did not take long to reach a consensus on cooperation, the two sides jointly invest in "Mousetrapping", and enjoy the profits generated by it together, if the cooperation is smooth, "the two sides can continue to cooperate on suitable themes in the future."

On the day he arrived in Huaxia, he was able to reach a draft on the issue of cooperation with Fang Mingyuan, Spielberg's heart was naturally indescribably joyful, you know, now the name of the screenwriter "Fang" is also famous in Hollywood, all the movies he wrote, all of them are blockbusters at the box office, in short, in the eyes of many people, the name "Fang" represents the boutique and huge profits Dream Factory has been established for a year, and there has been no sensational work launched. But Spielberg believes that as soon as the news of the signing between the two parties spreads, DreamWorks will be the focus of attention for the Americans

The propaganda effect generated by this alone made Spielberg's trip worthwhile

In a big mood, Spielberg talked about his past with Fang Mingyuan, and talked about his childhood, "talked about the difficulties and embarrassments he encountered when he first entered Hollywood, although he said that many of them, Fang Mingyuan had seen them in his previous life, but the cold words, how could they be compared with the personal accounts of the parties Fang Mingyuan listened to them with relish, and from time to time he expressed deep emotion

"Compared to you, my path is obviously too smooth," Fang Mingyuan sighed

Spielberg smiled silently, to be honest, in Hollywood, "Fang's rise is the biggest miracle without any precursors, no long-term pre-accumulation, and no one helps him hype, but Fang just relied on a "Terminator 2" to rise brazenly among Hollywood screenwriters, and then there are frequent high-quality products, coupled with Cameron's directing ability, out of a fire" Having made a name for himself in Hollywood, and now Fang is also among the top screenwriters in Hollywood, of course Spielberg will not let go of this opportunity to ask for the script from Fang Mingyuan

For Spielberg's request, Fang Mingyuan was not surprised, and he would have been ready for Spielberg a long time ago

Fang Mingyuan smiled: "Director Spielberg ......", "No, no, no, now we are partners" You can call me Steven" Spielberg waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be so polite, it will make me feel the distance between you and me"

Fang Mingyuan shrugged his shoulders and said with kindness: "Steven, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

Spielberg held his chin in his hand and looked at Fang Mingyuan thoughtfully for a long time, and then said, "I'll hear the good news first."

"The good news is that I believe that there is a script that is very suitable for you and it is close to completion", Fang Mingyuan smiled, "I believe that under your direction, it should be qualified to impact your country's little golden man"

"Hmm......" Spielberg's eyes flashed with ecstasy, "and what about the bad news?" ”

"The bad news is that even if you shoot it next year, you have to wait" Wait until the right time to be released If you can't agree to this condition, I won't hand over this script to you", Fang Mingyuan blinked and said, "Steven, you better believe me, I will do what I say"

Spielberg's mouth opened wide in surprise, such conditions are really too strange, could it be that Fang Mingyuan's script is still mysterious in terms of time?

Fang: What kind of script are you talking about? Spielberg continued for a long time

Fang Mingyuan scratched his head with his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "War films with strong commemorative and reflective significance" This answer is not so sure of himself, but in his previous life, this film did indeed trigger a lot of people to discuss whether the humanitarian spirit of saving a soldier with the lives of eight people should be used?

"War films?" Spielberg was also a little surprised by Fang Mingyuan's answer, and only after a moment did he continue to ask, "May I ask, what did you name it?" "Saving Private Ryan", @
