Gu Xiaofan frowned slightly and said, "Is it the shareholder behind the new line company?" ”

"Director Gu is really smart......" Hasen showed a look of real admiration at this time: "Warner's New Line Pictures was originally controlled by a Jewish family, but it changed hands several times in the middle, and was finally acquired by Warner, and now he is controlled by a small Scottish aristocratic family. 【】”

"Isn't Warner the Jews looking for a controlling stake behind it? How can there be shareholders of the Scottish aristocracy? Gu Xiaofan felt a little strange.

In a deep tone, Hasson explained the past:

"At that time, the Jews wanted the establishment of Israel, and the Jewish companies in North America were responsible for persuading the United Nations countries to expect them to support the establishment of Israel, and Warner was in charge of the British side, and the Warner brothers gave away a lot of equity to get the support of British political and business celebrities, and the Scottish aristocratic Caddie family was one of them, and they were the only ones who kept their shares until now......

And 16 years ago, when the old Jeter bought the new line, Warner's internal funds were insufficient, and they also turned to the family for help...... So they also own a major stake in the new line company......"

When Gu Xiaofan heard these things, he immediately figured out the cause and effect, and suddenly said:

"In other words, Old Jett and this Cadilgen family are conspiring to regain control of Warner this time? So many of the filming locations of "Game of Thrones" are set in Scotland, is it also arranged by the Carditine family? ”

Hasen looked at Gu Xiaofan again with an appreciative gaze, and said with a smile: "Yes, although the traditional aristocracy in Britain has declined, it still has a certain influence, and Mrs. Cadigham has a lot of relationships with some high-level people in the Scottish Parliament, so she vigorously contributed to the filming of "Game of Thrones", otherwise even I would not be able to convince the Scottish Department of Culture to film in Edinburgh." ”

Gu Xiaofan began to think in his heart, originally "Game of Thrones" was mainly filmed in Ireland, but obviously, Scotland, with its castles, is more suitable for the filming of this fantasy series, don't the original crew know it? . Or do they not have the ability to get the rights to film in Scotland?

Obviously, it is the latter that is more likely, that is, the history of the filming of "Game of Thrones", because he filmed it in advance.

But Gu Xiaofan has an intuition that there is far more than what Hasen said behind this matter.

Old Jett was just a filmmaker in his own right, how could he convince the Scottish Parliament to support the filming of Game of Thrones so strongly.

"It's just a little down-and-out aristocrat, how can the Scottish government support us to shoot?" Gu Xiaofan looked at Hasen suspiciously.

But Hasson shrugged his shoulders and said lightly:

"Quite simply, it's about the development of Scotland as a whole, which is in a very bad economic situation right now, with no pillar industries, very similar to New Zealand before.

A few years ago, Peter Jackson filmed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in New Zealand, changing the world's perception of New Zealand and making New Zealand a dream country in the hearts of people around the world, and last year there were as many as 2.39 million tourists visiting New Zealand, more than half of New Zealand's population, which greatly revitalized New Zealand's economic ......"

Speaking of this, Hasson couldn't help but smile and said: "Every country is showing its own distinctive image through active marketing, such as France marketing its fashion and romance; The United States markets its universal values and strengths; German marketing is of its quality and rigor; Japan markets its innovation and technology. If you don't know how to market your own country, no matter how powerful it is, it has no influence, and national marketing is fighting for your own right to speak...... It's the same with Scotland, they don't support us in vain, they want to use the fantasy culture of Game of Thrones to become a second New Zealand ~ vigorously promote its economy. ”

Liu Shishi listened to the smacking of his tongue next to him, so they were actually filming a drama that changed the fortunes of Scotland? Is Game of Thrones that great?

"So, what does the Cadigens want me to do?" Gu Xiaofan asked.

"It's very simple, the Marquis de Caditham died very early, Madame de Cadequin is lonely, and you know that these little nobles have no pursuits, and they are pursuing some ethereal honor and fame all day long, so Madame Cadetree only wants to make her daughter a Scottish household name......" Hasen said and looked at Gu Xiaofan and said:

"Her only request was for her daughter to play the role of Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones......"

Gu Xiaofan listened to this condition, and his first reaction was to frown and say unhappily: "This is absolutely impossible." ”

Just kidding, Daenerys is one of the most important characters in Game of Thrones, how can it be handed over to a layman to perform.

Hassan was not angry at all, but pointed to his computer helplessly and said: "Then I'm afraid these shooting plans will be in vain, without the help of Mrs. Cadivarine, I can't figure out these ancient castle towns in Scotland, and it will take more than half a year to select the location in other countries again." ”

When Liu Shishi heard this, she quickly tugged Gu Xiaofan's arm: "Don't be impulsive, do you have a better way now?" ”

"Daenerys can't play for the uninitiated." Gu Xiaofan shook his head again and again at this kind of question, if this baby daughter of Madame Caditon was a fat man with a pockmarked face, would she also let her play the role of "Dragon Girl"?

What is the difference between this and those third-rate production companies in China that accept investment from the rich second generation and praise each other's little lovers as the starring role?

"Let's see what her daughter is deciding." Hasan clicked on the keyboard and pulled up a photo.

The girl in the photo, about 15 or 6 years old, has long wavy white and blond hair like Monroe, and is petite, like a Barbie doll......

Gu Xiaofan was also stunned when she looked at it, this girl was much more beautiful than the actress in the original version of "Game of Thrones", and she was exactly the image of Daenerys in the original book.

"This young lady was originally from an aristocratic background, and she has been extremely educated since she was a child." Hasson smiled in a deep voice: "Although she has no acting training, her own conditions are very suitable for this role, and with your ability to train actors as Director Gu, I believe she is definitely qualified to play Daenerys ......"

I have to admit that Hasen's words are very convincing, and Liu Shishi tugged on Gu Xiaofan's sleeve fiercely, hoping that he can focus on the overall situation.

The role of "Dragon Girl" Daenerys doesn't need much acting skills at all, just a simple and strong aristocratic girl, with Gu Xiaofan's ability, how can she not train a girl who is so suitable for her appearance, temperament and background?

Gu Xiaofan didn't listen to Hasen's flickering, he just stared at the photo carefully, looked at it for a long time, and struggled in his heart for a while, before he nodded and reluctantly agreed: "I can only agree, go and meet her first, and then decide." ”

first pulled the crew to Scotland, and began to build the scenery, saying that now every second counts, and I can't afford to delay it.

"That's fine." Hassan was not reluctant to say:

"That's what I arranged, our crew can build scenery in various parts of Scotland at the same time, and at the same time gather the young actors who play the main royal family in the play to Lady Cutigham's castle to learn aristocratic manners, Director Gu, I think you should also learn, the little devil is also from a noble background...... You also need to experience the character, otherwise you're going to make a joke for a white audience, and you can take advantage of this opportunity to teach Madame Cadify's daughter about acting. ”

After some temptation, the two sides finally reached an agreement, Gu Xiaofan was delighted and relieved, with the addition of Hasen and his team, the logistical shortcomings of the Black Feather Studio were completely made up, Chen Keer was responsible for finance and overall planning, Hasen was responsible for the specific implementation of planning and details, plus Martin Lao as a consultant, the assistance of Emmy Award director Taylor, and the 300 elites of HBO joined.

Gu Xiaofan felt that Black Feather Studio was unprecedentedly powerful, and finally had the ability to take the lead for the first time to challenge such a grand theme as "Game of Thrones".
