Chapter 132: So Easy?

Back to the company, Harry? Sloan didn't bring any good news to Han Quanyou, which made Han Quanyou look very depressed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"So, Michael? Director Bei is the attitude of refusal? "Look at Harry? Sloan glanced at it, and Han Quanyou said with a headache. If Michael? Bei refused, and Han Kwonwoo really didn't know who to find to be the director of the movie "Transformers".
"Uh~~ This yes, Michael? When Bei learned that we were going to make a live-action film about toys changing, her attitude changed dramatically, from initial interest to hesitation, hesitation and obvious resistance. Looking at Han Kwonwoo with a frown, Harry? Sloan couldn't help but say with some embarrassment.
Indeed, Han Kwon Woo has repeatedly emphasized that "Transformers" is the first shot for MGM Pictures to save itself, which is a must. And ask all people, unconditionally, to fully support and cooperate with themselves. But I didn't expect that just an invitation to the director, such a trivial thing that seemed to me before, I couldn't do it myself.
Thinking of this, Harry? Sloan couldn't help but sigh at the sky, not only for his inability to complete the task assigned by Han Quanyou, but also for the world, people only pay attention to interests. It's really a person who walks the tea, if MGM Pictures is still MGM ten years ago, then there will be such trouble, just call someone to speak, I'm afraid Michael? Bei would definitely nod his head in agreement without thinking about it.
Now I see that MGM Pictures is in debt, and they all look down on MGM Films, even if they repeatedly emphasize that MGM Films will definitely prepare sufficient funds for the film, they will not agree.
Listened to Harry? Sloan's explanation, looking at Harry with a helpless and angry expression? Sloane and Han Quanyou were also furious. Buddy, you must take time to retreat in the future, eat the profession of director thoroughly, and then pirate any more movies, Lao Tzu will no longer ask for help, go on your own, and there will be no trouble at that time.
"Forget it, stop this thing first, and then I'll try it when I'm done writing all the scripts, hoping that the script will impress Michael by then? Bey, let this guy nod. ”
Thinking of the original Michael? Bei is also not optimistic about the theme of toys changing the live-action movie, and at first he refused, but in the end, he carefully watched the script, and after thinking and investigating all aspects of the market in detail, he finally agreed to serve as the director of "Transformers".
Now Han Quanyou has no choice but to create the script first, and when the time comes, I hope to impress Michael with the script as originally done? Bey, this guy.
"What if Michael? Bei still hasn't agreed, so what should I do? "Harry? Sloan still asked with some concern, after all, with Michael today? When Bey talks about it, Michael? Bey's reaction made Harry? Sloan felt bad.
"What to do, what can I do, of course, is to change people and re-select the director. TMD, what's the big deal I'll be called Gore then? Verbinski came to help, although Gore? Vybinski has never filmed science fiction, and he is a genius director in the end, and his strength is there, but the speed of shooting is slower, and I believe that the final shooting effect will not be bad. ”
Han Quanyou slapped the table fiercely and roared with a hint of venting. Han Quanyou is also gone, and the whole Hollywood, he only thinks Gore? If Vibinski is such a director, if Michael? If Bei really reads the full script or refuses, then Han Kwonwoo can only give up Michael? Bey, go and invite Gore? Vybinski too.
After all, for Gore? Verbinsky, after two years of cooperation, Han Quanyou still knows very well, so he naturally knows Gore? The strength and talent of Verbinski. More importantly, Gore? Wibinski has a very good relationship with Han Quanyou, and during the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in the end, as Han Quanyou opened his request, he worked tirelessly and did not bother to be a qualified and perfect director teacher for Han Quanyou.
"Hey~~~ That's right, Michael? If Bei still doesn't agree, then he will have to be replaced. "Harry? Sloan was stunned, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, how is the discussion on the side of the United States, what is their attitude, and what are their requirements."
"The answer to this is very vague on the part of the US [***] side and the Pentagon, but both sides emphasize that they hope you can go over and talk to them in person." Looked at Han Kwon-woo, Harry? Sloane said helplessly.
"Asking me to come and talk in person?" Han Quanyou was stunned, what does this mean, why do you want to let yourself go in person, is there any problem and conspiracy?
After a few seconds, Han Quanyou threw away all this idea, and there would be no conspiracy at all, after all, whether it is the United States or those politicians in the Pentagon, if they want to kill themselves, it is definitely a simple matter for them, and there is no need to conspire against themselves at all.
"Well, since that's the case, then I'll go over and have a look!" After thinking for a while, Han Quanyou finally stood up and said with a serious face.
"Owen, go and prepare, prove that my personal assets are a billion dollars, and it's a separate account." Turning around, Han Quanyou thought about it and still commanded Owen beside him.
"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do!" Owen smiled and nodded, obviously knowing Han Quanyou's plans.
Three hours later, Han Kwon-woo, who was ready, took Harry? Sloan and Irving came to the U.S. military office building in Los Angeles and met Tony, the main target of this time. Major General Johnny.
"Haha, Harry, welcome again!" After going through layers of inspections, Han Quanyou and the three finally came to Tony? Major General Johnny's office, Han Kwonwoo also saw this over half a hundred years old, Harry? Sloane's so-called military major general, who is more like a politician.
"Tony, let me introduce you, this is Lee, the writer and general manager of the film we talked about this morning, and this time I'm here to talk to you about our partnership. The person next to him was his personal butler, Owen from England. ”
Harry? Sloan and Tony? After Johnny hugged him, he pointed to Han Quanyou and Owen on the side, and introduced with a smile.
With Harry? Sloan's introduction, Tony? Johnny couldn't help but squint his eyes, and looked at Han Quanyou seriously before he suddenly walked over with a smile and said, "Welcome, friends from the East, the United States welcomes friends from all over the world, and the same is true for our army." ”
"Thank you, I'm honored to meet General Tony!" In from Harry? Sloane finally learned that Tony, who was over half a hundred years old, was standing in front of him? General Johnny is indeed a powerful character, and Han Quanyou does not dare to slack off.
"You're welcome, come on, come on, sit down, let's sit down first!" After the newspaper, Tony? Johnny smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down. When everyone sits down, Tony? After Johnny's soldier brings everyone a cup of coffee, Tony? Johnny couldn't help but smile and said: "Actually, I know your intentions, and I also think that MGM and our military to make a movie are also a very good idea." But you must know that we are more soldiers than actors, and even if I agree to your request, I'm afraid others will not agree. ”
By the way, Tony? Johnny shrugged his shoulders helplessly, looking helpless.
"General Tony, I'm curious, why would anyone disagree, what are they worried about?" With Han Kwon-woo present, what about Tony? Johnny's conversation is the sole responsibility of Han Quanyou. So whether it's Harry? Sloan and Owen, both of them sat quietly, honestly on the couch, sipping their coffee.
"Many, in general, the first is that it will affect the normal practice and stationing of the army, and at the same time, there is also a fear of exposing too much of the army's advanced weapons, of course, there are also some people who think that the army is the army, not actors, and it is simply ridiculous to cooperate with film companies to make movies."
Tony? Johnny sighed helplessly, people who don't know, really think Tony? Johnny really wanted to work with MGM Pictures on a movie, but because of other obstacles, he was very helpless.
But before he came, Han Quanyou was from Harry? Sloan learned from there, Tony? Johnny is the head of the army stationed in the Los Angeles area, and in this part of Los Angeles, as long as Tony? Johnny nodded, and basically everything was ok, and no one else would jump out and point fingers and make irresponsible remarks.
Thinking of this, Han Quanyou couldn't help but think for a while, and finally spoke: "We promise that the military's advanced weapons will not be exposed, and this movie is a science fiction movie, focusing more on the fight between robots, to be precise, the robot has hand-to-hand combat and cold weapon battles is the theme, so we don't need the military to support us with more advanced weapons." ”
After speaking, Han Quanyou thought about it again, and the most important thing was to carefully recall the number of participants in the "Transformers" movie at that time.
"Regarding the stationing of troops, I believe that it is enough to have police, after all, the United States is the most powerful country in the world, and I believe that except for launching a full-scale state-to-state war, otherwise, there is really no one worthy of a powerful American [***] team. And about the number of troops, in fact, the movie doesn't need much, at most it is a company of soldiers, more just going through the motions, more often, only one platoon of soldiers is enough. ”
"At the same time, we have made up our minds to invest in "Transformers" this time, and the initial calculation is 200 million US dollars, which is definitely a big-budget movie in the whole of Hollywood. General Xiangzini won't believe it, we just have a lot of money and have no place to put it, so let's just use it to burn money. ”
Han Quanyou looked at Tony with a serious face? Johnny, asked solemnly. And Tony? Johnny's response was only a faint smile and a nod, agreeing with Han Quanyou's words, and at the same time reaching out to signal Han Quanyou to continue.
"I don't have any doubt that the film we made was a huge success. In this way, our movie will be released all over the world, and in the movie, the soldiers are very righteous and heroic, and I believe that when the time comes, with the movie released all over the world, it will also promote the righteous and heroic American soldiers to the people of the world. ”
After saying this, Han Quanyou paused, and finally asked lightly: "So, I want to ask, why would someone disagree and block the cooperation between the two of us, which is a cooperation with huge benefits for both of us, and it is a win-win situation, I can't figure out why someone refuses." ”
"Hey~~~lee, things are not as simple as you think, like any country, there are factions within our army. If I agree to cooperate with you, then my opponent will refuse, and if my opponent agrees, I will also refuse, which is a normal thing. ”
"I think I know, General Tony's soldiers are definitely the top and best in the United States!"
"Of course, you have no doubt about this, my army is also the top in the entire United States, we have the best treatment, the most difficult training, the most advanced weapons. Although it is inferior to the Navy and the Triangular Special Forces in terms of the Army, it is only because of the geographical environment, our Navy is definitely the most powerful, even the Navy on the Pearl Harbor side will not be arrogant and think that it is stronger than us. ”
Although I don't know why Han Quanwoo asked that, but Tony? Johnny replied firmly. (Regarding the United States [***] side, in fact, I am just concise, whether it is the number of people or the military region to which it belongs, or the place of garrison and the quality of the surname, it is mainly concise and in line with the novel, don't compare it according to the real American [***] team series) "This time our movie is a big-budget movie, and we also need the best soldiers to help us." The soldiers usually work hard, let the soldiers make a movie and try the feeling of actors, this is also a game for the soldiers. What's more, I watched a lot of war-themed movies, because the actors are not real soldiers, so they don't have the temperament of a soldier. This time, I hope to be able to put the great American [***] people on the big screen, so that the whole world and the whole United States know the strength of the American [***] team and the elite of the soldiers under your command. ”
After saying that, Han Quanyou took a check from Owen's hand, and then handed it to Tony with a smile? Johnny said: "I know that it will be difficult and troublesome for the general to convince others, but this time I really hope to cooperate with the military to make a classic movie, and if the effect is good, I will continue to shoot, and then we can continue to work together." It's hard work, and I hope General Tony will work hard to help us convince those who oppose it. ”
Tony? Johnny took the check handed over by Han Quanyou, and when he looked at the one million dollars written on it, he couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Lee, you are my friend, you have said so, I will definitely do my best to help you convince others." ”
Tony? Johnny's words made Han Kwonwoo stunned, what is going on, from Tony? Johnny's words, Tony? Johnny had nodded in agreement.
What is this, I agreed so simply, so why did I waste so much saliva before, I knew that I could just send money directly, why should everyone be so hypocritical.
"Of course, General, we'll rely on you!" Han Kwon Woo holding Tony? Johnny's outstretched hand, both hands clutching Tony? Johnny's right hand, learning from Han Shengyan's shaking vigorously, almost made Tony? Johnny was unsteady on his feet.
"Don't worry, Lee, I will definitely help you, you just wait for my good news, and I will give you an answer by tonight at the latest." Tony? Johnny withdrew his hand without a trace, feeling the pain coming from his hand, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. If it weren't for looking at Han Quanyou's innocent face, it didn't look like he was deliberately fixing himself, if it wasn't for looking at the million dollars, I'm afraid Tony? Johnny will definitely teach Han Quanyou a hard lesson, even a little too aggressive, and casually accuse Han Quanyou of a crime, so that Han Quanyou will stay under the land in the barren mountains and wilderness for the rest of his life.
"Well, that's good, then General, let's go back and wait for your good news first. You also know that there are a lot of things to prepare and do before a movie is to be made. ”
"Hehe, that's okay, then you guys go get busy first, don't worry, I'll do my best to convince those stubborn guys." Tony? Johnny smiled and nodded, then called a soldier to send Han Kwonwoo and the three away.
"Rely on~~~ No, it's just a million dollars, if I had known, what kind of saliva would I have wasted, just give the money directly." As soon as I got back to the car, I thought about Tony just now? Johnny's change, Han Quanyou couldn't help but scold.
Then, Han Quanyou seemed to think of it, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Harry beside him? Sloane said with a puzzled expression: "Old Harry, things don't seem to be as troublesome as you thought, why haven't you solved it all the time, haven't you thought about bribing him before?" ”
"Ahem, this, this ......" Listen to Han Kwonwoo's words, Harry? Sloan couldn't help coughing, looked at Han Quanyou with some embarrassment, and cursed Tony fiercely in his heart? Johnny. It's a shame, it's a shame to be in front of foreigners, it's just a U.S. [***] team, a disgrace to the entire United States.
"I really didn't think about bribery before!"
"What, isn't it?" Han Kwonwoo looked at Harry in surprise? Sloane, I really can't figure it out, Harry? Why didn't Sloan bribe Tony? Johnny, you know, in any country in the world, bribery is a big killer, especially in the United States and Russia, as long as you are willing to bribe, then you can definitely get a good return.
In the United States, you are willing to spend money, not to mention only asking a few soldiers to cooperate in the filming of the movie, even if it is a request for a temporary lease of an aircraft carrier, maybe it is a trivial matter to shoot on an aircraft carrier.
And Russia is even more difficult, as long as you have money, even nuclear bombs will be sold, in fact, it is indeed rumored that there are two nuclear bombs that no one buys, but I don't know what kind of force it is, or al-Qaeda, which caused a huge sensation at the time. Even a nuclear bomb dares to buy, then let alone something else.
"This, the company's funds are still very tight at present, and it is a little bit to save a little!" Looking at Han Kwonwoo with a surprised face, Harry? Sloane couldn't help but explain in embarrassment.
For Harry? Sloan's explanation, Han Quanyou is really speechless, it seems that Harry? Sloan is also because of MGM Pictures' debts, he is really poor, and now he has become more and more stingy, and he has the potential of Grande!
