United States, Hollywood Jim Film Studios,. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a small film company, or rather, a film company that produces third-rate movies on a small scale and relies on black buddies for food.

No way, the explosive head Jim himself is black.

Black people are a unique existence in the United States, these people who were originally slaves were only freed during the American Civil War, but they have really become independent and treated as "people" by Americans, but they have gone through a long road, and their representative literary work is "Uncle Tom's Cabin", its representative film is "Diego Liberated", and its representative character is Martin. Luther King.

It is precisely because of this that in Hollywood, it is also very difficult for black actors, as well as film companies run by black actors, to integrate into the mainstream Hollywood media. Fortunately, there is a large black audience in the United States, so Jim specializes in making some movies that black people like to watch. In most Hollywood movies, black people are either robbers or rapists, always the opposite of the negative, with few positive roles. And in Jim's films, blacks become heroes, beating whites to the point of spitting blood.

This somewhat extreme shooting technique made Jim's film company struggle to survive, became a way for many black people to vent their emotions, and won a certain box office, but it also further isolated Jim's film company's road to Hollywood popularization.

Therefore, Jim's film company exists half-dead, but for Chen Xiaotang, this is a very good ally and help.

In the office, Chen Xiaotang and Jim, a black man, hugged affectionately.

Chen Xiaotang said straight to the point: "Dear Jim. My film was about to be released, but I contacted several film companies, but they were not willing to cooperate with us and seconded the Christmas theater chain. ”

"Hahaha...... That's to be expected! Jim laughed, "Those big film companies in the United States are extremely snobbish guys, so they won't give up such precious schedules to you Chinese movies!" ”

"Really?" Chen Xiaotang sighed.

Jim burst out laughing.

Chen Xiaotang glared at Jim with a little disgust, and said angrily: "Dude, you can still laugh!" ”

"Of course I'm going to laugh," Jim lamented, "and as a black man, I'm not accepted by mainstream Hollywood filmmakers." So dear Chen. I suffered back then, and you should also taste it, according to the words of you Chinese, it is not a good thing to always pull the flag of the tailwind. Although Hollywood films are diversified and open enough, it is still difficult for your Chinese films to break in......"

Chen Xiaotang frowned and said, "It's hard to imagine that Hollywood companies have such a mature and complete business operation mechanism, but they are so resistant to foreign culture!" There is even a subtle expression of discrimination against other nationalities, nationalities or colours and races. What's in it for them? Is that what they have always been? ”

"Dear Chen, you have to understand,. People always use their familiar logic to consider things that they are not familiar with or understand. Jim laughed, "Your logic just now only applies to you Chinese." In the American film industry, the strong are respected and interests come first, unless you have the power to influence them, otherwise, you should pray to God that your movies will sell well! ”

"Well, I have to admit, the rules of the game here are really different, since you can't resist. Then I can only accept it. Chen Xiaotang spread his hands helplessly, but he could draw inferences from one case and said, "Now I have a request for them." So they take it for granted that they should put on a high posture...... Or in their opinion, as a Chinese, the drama I filmed is simply a bad movie that is not up to the grade...... That's what it means, right? ”

“yes！ Chen, your brain is good! Jim said: "You are a blank slate now, and your local film company is not well-known in the American market at all; Whether your film will succeed or fail is still an unknown matter of life and death...... If you have a firm foothold in the U.S. market in the future. Ha ha. Then you can watch him show you the South American passion! Get down on your knees and kiss your feet, they'll do it all. What you Chinese think is shameful and subtle, but in their eyes it is hypocrisy. As long as you can make money, you can make 10 million, 100 million, or more, and they will come back to you and beg you. Even if they already have a net worth of 10 billion - this is America! ”

This is America!

Jim's last sentence greatly stimulated Chen Xiaotang, and he suddenly remembered that Li Lianjie, a big star in his previous life, had a famous saying - "In the United States, everything is a data!" ”

Your data represents the wealth you can create, and if your data goes up, you have everything, equality and democracy. Even the nation and country you represent have the same dignity and status of their own -- this is the United States!

This kind of naked ~ naked ~ naked way of thinking is difficult to imagine in China or Hong Kong, Chen Xiaotang is facing an unfamiliar field at this time, a new world - he is like a big boy who has got a new toy, full of interest and 120,000 points of fighting spirit!

"Thank you, Brother Jim!" Chen Xiaotang suddenly got up, his face was full of joy and he said, "I'm leaving, I'll invite you to coffee another day." ”

Jim looked at the young man in front of him in amazement, who was known as a genius, just now like an angry bull, but in a blink of an eye, he seemed to have changed a person, and it seemed that he had a plan for big things, and he didn't need to discuss it with anyone......

"Chen, aren't you going to discuss with me how to deal with the situation in front of you? Maybe I'll have some suggestions that will help you......" Jim asked tentatively, "like finding some smaller movie theater chains, or I can help you talk to other movie companies......"

"No need." Chen Xiaotang said briefly and sincerely: "Let's do it ourselves!" You have helped us a lot, and we will walk the road on our own. With that, Chen Xiaotang stood up confidently and walked out.

"Dude Jim, I'll have you get a ticket to the premiere on the day of the release!"

Jim smiled and looked at Chen Xiaotang's back when he left this sentence, couldn't help touching his signature black exploding head, and sighed to himself: "Alas...... Seeing such young talents find themselves old...... I don't know if I can look younger with a different hairstyle......"

Chen Xiaotang knocked on the door of Paramount Pictures again, and this time, no matter how cynical the other party was, he just said, "Please give me three minutes!" ”

Paramount President Nick had no choice but to deal with this stubborn Chinese, "Three minutes, is it?" OK, I'll look at the watch! Shrugged and waited for Chen Xiaotang to speak.

But this time Chen Xiaotang didn't speak, but waved his hand, and saw someone take out a roll of sample tape and start showing it.

"What the hell is this Raffi Chan doing?" Nick bit on the big cigar like a super-big guy and touched his chin and wondered.

But he soon understood that this was an edited trailer from Assassin's Creed!

Selling movies has long been outdated in Hollywood, and only these Hong Kong people are still playing this set with pleasure. Nick thought.

But soon, Nick, who knocked on Erlang's leg, was stunned, because the edited footage was really unexpectedly exciting, and in professional terms, it was enough "gimmick".

Yes, a drama must be gimmicky enough to attract attention, and if it is gimmicky enough, it will have topics, box office, and appeal.

As an old fox who has been rolling in Hollywood for several years, Nick knows this deeply, and it can be said that the whole Hollywood is not a movie, but a gimmick story, gorgeous shots, exciting stories, and hot action These are all gimmicks that must not be missing for a film to become popular!

And now, all of these elements are there!

Nick is sure that this Chinese film has a promising future!

The original agreed three minutes flashed by!

President Nick suddenly felt that time was too short.

For the first time, he felt this way, he was a fool, why not give the other party more time? In this way, I can better review the potential of this play, but now.......

"Ahem, this drama seems to be ...... Very interesting! Nick extinguished his cigar and said to Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "Since it's interesting, I don't know if your company is willing to cooperate with us?" ”

"Is there a Christmas schedule?" Nick groaned, "It can be, but this box office is divided, it must be seventy-three!" ”

"It's a pity, don't I remember that the rules for account sharing are all June Fourth?"

"That's the rule of our American films, as for your Chinese movies......" Nick smiled, self-explanatory.

The corners of Chen Xiaotang's mouth curled: "I'm sorry, it looks like I have to change partners again!" "Say no more, just turn around." I think they might be interested in my film! ”

"Go to them, friend! Haha, they're not as good at talking as I am! Nick yelled in the back, feeling a little weak.

Chen Xiaotang ignored him and walked out of the office with his chest straight.

"Damn Chinese, they won't give in at all!" Nick sat back in his chair in a rage. He was a little afraid that other film companies would watch the show.

It's a good play, isn't it?

Should I work with them?

Do you want to take the initiative to apologize and give in?!

Don't go to the golden rooster that lays golden eggs.......

Nick thought quickly.

Just as he was hesitating, the female secretary brought in the day's newspapers.

As an excellent filmmaker, you must always pay attention to all aspects of Hollywood's entertainment dynamics. And Nick has maintained this good habit.

Flipping through the newspaper, Nick was stunned.

The effect of Chen Xiaotang's press conference has finally come out.

In the newspapers, the ghost reporters who participated in the press release did not hesitate to praise the play "Assassin's Creed" in various words.

"A Chinese movie comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster!"

"A great production that is sure to be wonderful!"

"The pinnacle of China's action in the future!" …….

"Damn it!" Nick hurriedly put down the newspaper, now all he wants to do is chase the gone Rafichen back at the speed of a 100-meter sprint!
