Chapter 130: The Town Changes
The United States is indeed a country where money is paramount, but it also has its lovely place, that is, if you go to a random agent to do your business, it is difficult to be greedy, and many people value their credibility. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoTherefore, An Yifei is very relieved to hand over the Blackstone Cinema Line to a professional agency company to take care of, in addition to negotiating a good salary, they can be regarded as conscientious, and now with their company's early connections, they actually began to annex some cinema chains located in Canada.
The American company is not domestic, even if An Yifei is the actual boss, he didn't even have food after the inspection, so he had to stay for more than an hour and leave after reading the report.
In fact, An Yifei likes such a simple employment relationship in his heart, direct and clear, although "brothers settle accounts" seems impersonal, but this is the attitude that a capitalist society should have.
The town of Wiseni is still under construction, but it does not affect the filming of the film "Phantom of Speed", and An Yifei is catching up with its finishing stages.
After shaking hands with Gao Dejian, Wu Yusheng and others, who had already tanned their skin, An Yifei saw the beautiful Sophie Marceau, which made each other feel a little surprised that they seemed to be friends who had known each other for a long time, and naturally came to a hug.
There are a lot of Chinese here, and under the stimulation of An Yifei's luxurious finale banquet, the crew will finish all the scenes that were originally planned to be filmed for five to six days in two days.
Since in the United States, of course, Western food is the mainstay, An Yifei chose a luxurious French restaurant to hold this luxurious finale banquet, and also let the American cast and crew who worked with him for the first time know his generosity.
"Hey, Bruce, there's no part of you in the second part of The Phantom of Speed, that's okay, I'd like to ask you to shoot another series of movies"
"Great, boss, I'm willing to serve you", the banquet is in the form of a buffet Western meal, everyone can communicate at will, and the movie An Yifei said to Bruce Willis is of course the "Die Hard" series starring him.
"Bruce, I wrote this script myself, and it will make you popular, so hurry up and sign with DreamWorks and don't let yourself regret it"
"Okay, boss, no problem. When will the movie be ready to be filmed? ”
"I'll hand over the script to Helen in a few days, and you'll be notified in no more than ten days, and if you want to go back to New York for a vacation, you'll have to hurry."
Bruce, who was about to answer, glanced at Sophie who came over with a smile in his eyes, and got up to leave to make way for his seat, the girl's plate was very delicate, only two French snails were filled, and her elegant posture did not look like a girl who was only 16 years old.
After Bruce, who rushed away, rolled his eyes, the girl put the plate on the table in the same row as An Yifei, and sat down next to him, "Lord Duke, I'm out of drama next, how are you going to arrange it?" ”
The afterglow of the eyes actually noticed the spring light that the woman deliberately revealed, you must know that it is summer now, and the thin evening dress can't stop the girl's enthusiasm.
In fact, An Yifei, who also likes to eat French snails, picked one from her plate, and began to deal with it in her eyes, and told the story: "During World War II, there lived a beautiful woman in a small town in the south of France......"
As An Yifei spoke, not only Sophie Marceau, but many other people gathered around his table and listened quietly, of course, the waiter would not let the protagonist of the banquet do it himself, and brought a large plate of French snails over and placed it on the table in front of An Yifei.
As the story of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" unfolded, even director Wu Yusheng listened attentively. But this story does not fit his style, and he can only praise in his heart: "It is worthy of the famous East Asian writer 'Anxin', this story seems to be plain, but it is very distinctive, and it is no problem to win awards after filming."
By the time his story was finished, Sophie had become his servant, picking snail meat for him, but she was willing, and when he finally finished speaking, he asked, "Sir, this story is really good, what's the name?" ”
"There is a beautiful city in the south of France, and there is an even more beautiful town near Cannes called Saint-Trop, and the story I am talking about takes place there, and the name is "The Beautiful Legend of Saint-Trop"
The people around applauded, and everyone understood that the heroine of this movie was a great test of Sophie's acting skills at only 16 years old, because the age span is a bit large, but it is indeed a movie with an excellent plot. There are even several assistant directors who want to recommend themselves to shoot this movie, which you know will be "beautiful" just by listening to the story.
After Sophie fell into thinking about the characters in the story, An Yifei walked to the opposite side of Gao Dejian: "Lao Gao, "The Phantom of Speed" will definitely be successful, and the sequel will be said next year, do you want to continue filming in the United States or in Hong Kong?" ”
"Brother Fei, please do one thing, can you bring the original brothers to the United States together, and let's make a modern urban martial arts film together, just like "The Green Hornet"
Gao Dejian's words reminded An Yifei of "Black Man 2", the reason why this urban martial arts film starring his own family An Zhi was successful was that he gave up the cumbersome martial arts scenes, and almost all of them were one-hit killing moves, which was recognized by American audiences.
"Okay, I won't participate, it just so happens that this is also the film that Wu Yusheng is good at, you will cooperate in this drama in the second half of the year, and I will give you the script in a few days."
"Great, thank you Brother Fei", although it looks cool in front of others, but in front of An Yifei, Gao Dejian still looks like the original hairy boy, which makes people laugh.
……
After Xue Lin's "Stealing the Day" successfully won a box office of nearly 150 million, she was also a little flustered by reputation and income, but after reading a lot of scripts, she felt dissatisfied and kept looking forward to An Yifei's arrival.
Therefore, this night, An Yifei tasted the taste of gentleness, and finally understood that the "field" is really difficult to be plowed, but the "ox" is also very strong, plow a few times, cough, no problem.
Since "Tian" is working so hard, An Yifei can't help but express it. Remembering Briss? Willis's new movie "Die Hard" was lacking a heroine, so the role was given to Sherlyn.
I have to say that girls in this era are simple, unlike those who think so much after the flood of the Internet, the next day, An Yifei felt a little guilty when she saw Xue Lin's happy appearance, and she decided to find time to write a script for her alone.
In the late processing of "Phantom of Speed", An Yifei stayed in the town he bought, and as several buildings and ancillary facilities were gradually completed, DreamWorks, Blackstone Cinemas, Light & Magic, and Marvel all moved to this beautiful small town.
Since it is called a small town, the area is certainly not small, in addition to the wine estate, An Yifei also owns the property rights of several other farms, which are basically managed by agents sent by the agricultural association.
And An Yifei herself, of course, lives in a beautiful wine estate. The cultivation and care of the winery is also a matter for the agent, and he, like all bosses, is only responsible for life and enjoyment.
……
"Boss, you're amazing, you've written three high-quality scripts in just a few days"
Of course, Bruce and the others, who didn't dare to urge An Yifei, could only go to Helen, and now after getting the three scripts of "Die Hard", "Black Man" and "Beautiful Legend", she finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: "Boss, if you don't come again, I'm really going to annoy them to death"
An Yifei understood what she was thinking, but these days, Sophie and Xue Lin, two beautiful women, lived in the farm, which really made him have the idea of "from now on the king will not be early", and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he originally promised Bruce ten days, but now half a month has passed.
But slow also has the advantage of being slow, these days, the media industry in the United States has all been concentrated in the small town of Visseny, and it will be able to be managed and coordinated in the future.
Not only have a lot of buildings have been built in the town, but also a lot of simulated street scenes. An Yifei adopts the model of Deep Blue Film and Television City, renting out all the shops and office buildings on the roadside, gradually making the population here more and more, and in fact, it is not far from Hollywood, so it has actually become a part of Hollywood.
The two films "Die Hard" and "Black Man", which started filming at the same time, made full use of the geographical advantages, and basically filmed in the small town of Visseny.
A few years later, as more and more movies were filmed, there were more and more imitation scenes in the town, and finally, An Yifei also contributed his own small farm to build a replica White House, because there are many movies that need this scene.
This puts the town of Visseny, which has actually become a film city, on the track of a circle of conscience: the more scenes, the more film crews are attracted. And the more film crews, the better the local economy, and the population continues to increase, bringing a lot of talent to join, even if you want to find extras.
In order to show that it was a Chinese film, An Yifei deliberately participated in the premiere of "The Phantom of Speed", which was also released at the same time as Hong Kong, for which he once again invested millions of dollars in the early promotion, not counting the facilities related to the town of Visseny, the final investment of this film has exceeded 25 million US dollars.
This data is nothing in Hollywood, but it is astronomical for Hong Kong, which once again sparked a big discussion in the media, and there are many people who praise and ridicule An Yifei that will capsize this time.
However, the controversy turned into a celebration on the second day, because the North American box office exceeded 30 million US dollars on the first day, and the box office in Hong Kong on the first day was also 6 million Hong Kong dollars. (To be continued.) )
