Before He Mu came to the United States, Jeff said that he would not pay back the money, and he would give him a little share as compensation, and he was ready to accept the shares of Jeff's film company, he didn't care about the number of shares, just a little, he felt that this was a Chinese branch implanted in Hollywood, maybe it would grow into a towering tree one day in the future. In his mind, $7 million is not a lot of money in the United States, and it is about the same to be able to give him five to ten percent of the shares, which is the figure He Mu expected.

But Jeff and Robin took out 23% of the shares to him at once, if he accepted, He Mu would surpass Robin to become the second largest shareholder of this company, which made him a little embarrassed, after all, Robin is the founder of Rubik's Cube Pictures, and he just "lent" some money to them.

Jeff advised him not to be embarrassed, this is what he deserves, Robin also persuaded him, if you want to say that you are embarrassed, it should be Robin, the dollars he took out are far from how Mu, his old ladies are too losers, and He Mu is only one percentage point more than him, he even feels that this is unfair to He Mu, so he tried his best to persuade He Mu to accept these shares, otherwise he will be uneasy.

After the last day, He Mu still accepted these shares, but he shirked the salary of "Cold Heart" that should have belonged to him, but in fact, it was not much money, it was just an attitude.

Although he can get two or three million or more in China, and he has a salary of about 500,000 US dollars when converted into US dollars, he is not famous in the United States after all, and this movie is mainly aimed at American audiences, and Americans' understanding of him is limited to vague impressions such as great strength, "Chinese giants", and kung fu. Without continuous exposure, people will soon forget about you, which means that He Mu has almost no box office appeal in the United States, and it is still unknown whether the film will be released in China. After all, Wen Ziren has not yet dared to release any movies in the mainland, so He Mu's salary is very low, only 250,000 US dollars, and Scarlett. Johnson was paid the same amount in "Iron Man 2".

He Mu owns shares in an American film company, and is the second shareholder of this company, which makes Xiao Nan excited, "Is it possible that the movies you make in China can also be released in the United States in the future?!" ”

"Of course not." He Mu poured a basin of cold water on Xiao Nan, "If it was so easy, Chinese films would have entered Hollywood a long time ago." Our compatriots are not short of money now, and it is not difficult to buy one or two Hollywood studios, but have you ever seen a successful case in this regard? Although I am the second shareholder of Rubik's Cube Pictures, everything must follow the laws of the market. In recent years, Chinese films have performed poorly in the North American market. This reflects the aesthetic orientation of the American crowd, and it is impossible for the Rubik's Cube to vigorously promote Chinese films at this time, which is purely thankless. And the distribution capacity of the Rubik's Cube is basically negligible, if you want to build up this part of the capacity, this money is simply not enough, Jeff just told me that the North American distribution of "Cold Heart" may be handed over to a certain film giant, or even sold out to them. ”

"Ah, how is that?"

"Nothing strange. There are thousands of American film companies, and many of them have made blockbuster movies. But if you look at last year's North American annual box office rankings, the distribution companies above are Lionsgate and Pinnacle, which are well-known independent film companies, and there are almost no new faces, because they have made their own movies, either they have no distribution channels, or they have distribution channels but they are not confident in their distribution capabilities, so they are all distributed by large companies, although they have to share a large part of the distribution costs to each other, but they can make the box office leap, otherwise they will do the distribution themselves, I am afraid that few theaters will take care of a small company and a new company. ”

He Mu continued, "However, most of the copyright of the movie is in our hands, including DVDs, TV broadcasts and the right to make sequels, as long as the first part is successful, the second part will immediately follow, with the fame of the first part, we will have a lot of autonomy in the second part, and even the distribution will no longer need to rely on large companies." ”

"This movie is going to be made into a series!" Xiao Nan opened her mouth wide.

"Of course, as long as Hollywood movies make money, and it is possible, almost all of them will make sequels, but usually the further down they are filmed, the higher the box office, and the worse the reputation, but in the commercial era, it's okay to make money, isn't it." He Mu has already met the director and screenwriter and discussed with them that Wen Ziren is not very interested in sequels, and he doesn't want to make a sequel after making two parts of his own "Chainsaw", but gives it to other directors. Werner is very interested in the sequel to "Cold Heart", he talked to He Mu in detail, first summarized what are the shining points of "Cold Heart", and then how to transplant it to the second part, as long as the routine is summarized, change some characters, change some scenes, and it is a brand-new sequel movie, before the movie started, He Mu had already talked to Lao Lei about some content about the second part, Lao Lei excitedly said that not only Tao Quduo is an excellent screenwriter, He Mu is not far behind, He Mu modestly said that this is nothing, In his country, there was an old man named Pu Songling who was better at writing this kind of thing.

Lao Lei said excitedly, "If I can go to China, I must visit this Mr. Pu!" ”

He Mu: "Uh,......"

He Mu stayed in the United States for a week, but fortunately, there was a zeppelin for him to drive, so he didn't have to worry about transportation. Before leaving, he waited for the movie "Cold Heart" to start filming, and the preliminary preparations for this movie were almost completed when Lionsgate was completed, so after transferring to Rubik's Cube, filming started soon after the funds were sufficient.

The weather in California, especially Los Angeles, is still relatively warm, and the movie needs to go to a colder place, taking into account various factors such as venue rent, tax refunds, etc., the crew found the cheapest and most suitable place Washington State, which is located in the northwest corner of the United States, adjacent to Canada, and now is the coldest time, and its most famous city is not the provincial capital Olympics, but Seattle.

The three main actors in this film are Joseph. Gordon, Scarlett. Johnson and He Mu, He Mu finally met these two before the movie started, they will be partners for a long time, and they need to understand each other to a certain extent.

He Mu's ability to speak fluent English made Joseph and Scarlett breathe a sigh of relief, the communication problem they were worried about before no longer exists, so the atmosphere between the three leading actors is also a lot more active, He Mu can be eloquent, even if he changes the language, he can talk eloquently, Scarlett is bright and moving, although he doesn't talk much, but he listens carefully, and is an indispensable concoctor on the scene, although Joseph is more introverted and has a bit of a literary man's taste, but after seeing He Mu, he is still excited to compete with He Mu," I really want to experience a Chinese giant, Hollywood male stars are clamoring to compete with you on Facebook, but they don't have my luck, Mu, can you satisfy me? (To be continued......)
