Los Angeles Airport was crowded, and Chen Ping'an, who walked out of the airport, was startled.

He had consulted with Anne Heard before he came, keeping a low profile.

American entertainers are even more undisciplined, and the famous Hong Kong paparazzi in later generations are all learned from the United States. At the beginning of the year, because of the comparison between the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars, it caused a lot of turmoil in the United States, and many American reporters wanted to interview Chen Ping'an.

He was in Hong Kong at the time, and the American media thought that it was not worth going to Hong Kong for an interview for the sake of him, an Oriental, so they were waiting for the moment when he set foot on American soil.

Because Chen Ping'an's flight was leaked, the apologetic Anne Heard personally took someone to pick up the plane, trying to block the swarming reporters.

Just saw so many surging reporters, Chen Ping'an was also a little dazed. After learning the truth from Anne Hurd, he smiled disapprovingly, and in the face of the reporter's question, he gave a clear answer, or a war letter.

"I just think that the Golden Globe Award is far inferior to the Oscars, and I don't accept it!"

Dropping this sentence, Chen Ping'an got in the car and left, and the reporters present complained, but it was not without gain.

Although Chen Ping'an only said one sentence, it did not prevent these reporters from making a big fuss about it, not to mention that this sentence sounded more like a war book, will those who slander and criticize Chen Ping'an respond to the war?

This can be hyped up as a series of news!

Sitting in the car and chatting with Anne Held, Anne Heard went straight to the point.

She is also a strong woman, and when she was talking to Chen Ping'an on the phone, Chen Ping'an once mentioned the movie "Home Alone" to her, saying that she was going to arrange for it to be released in the United States.

Knowing that this film is based on Chinese mainland, the film reflects the customs of Chinese mainland, and condenses a lot of humanistic features, Anne Heard is very interested.

At this time, China was full of mystery in the eyes of Westerners, or it was greatly demonized.

But that's what politicians do, and filmmakers don't need to think about it. At last year's Oscars, "The Last Emperor", which competed with "Rain Man" for various awards, wasn't it filmed in China?

There are many Americans who are interested in the ancient and mysterious China that is always demonized. Even if it's really a demon, they're curious about what a demon looks like.

Jiang Zhiqiang, who was in the passenger seat, turned his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Annie, I'd better not eat too much before you watch this movie." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid your stomach hurts when you laugh."

That night, Chen Ping'an and Jiang Zhiqiang stayed in the hotel that had been arranged, one room for each of them, and one room for Datou and Jiang Zhiqiang's assistant. Anne Heard returned to the company with a copy of Home Alone, ready to get a sneak peek.

After the jet lag, Chen Ping'an and Jiang Zhiqiang came to the company the next morning, just in time for Anne Heard to arrange for the test screening of "Home Alone" in the company's small screening room. The people who came to watch it were all important directors and screenwriters of the company, which is enough to prove that Anne Heard attaches great importance to this film.

She had seen her stomach last night, just like Jiang Zhiqiang said, laughing so much that her stomach hurt.

Although it is exotic, the cultural customs are different from those in the United States, and there are differences in the questioning, the beautiful scenery shown in the film, as well as traditional Chinese handicrafts, are all amazing.

As for the later episode of Xiao Jinwei fighting the two stupid thieves, even if it is not the English version, just by virtue of the actions and expressions of both parties, it is enough to make people enjoy it and laugh.

Today, she specially organized the directors and screenwriters in the company to watch it, not to adjust the atmosphere and relax everyone, but to prepare to adapt it into the American version of "Home Alone". This is also what Chen Ping'an said on the phone, highly recommended, otherwise Anne Heard would not attach so much importance to it.

After the film screening, the screenwriters' tasks become heavy, and the directors begin to strive to direct the film, and at the same time feel the cheerful atmosphere in the movie, many people's minds begin to live, this kind of movie suitable for families to watch together, very selling!

In addition to changing the version, can't follower films be considered?

Not to mention that Hollywood does not have follow-up films, there is no shortage of film circles in various countries, but Hollywood's follow-up films often use shocking special effects technology to divert the audience's attention.

After the adaptation of "Home Alone" was explained, Anne Heard invited Chen Ping'an to the office and began to discuss another matter.

She is a shrewd woman, as can be seen from the fact that she bought out the copyright of "Terminator" in Cameron's hands for a dollar. In terms of shrewdness, Chen Ping'an is not as good as her, but she has more than 30 years of understanding of the world.

While watching Home Alone last night, Anne Heard realized that there might be a business opportunity in it – traditional Chinese handicrafts.

She is very interested in the candy people that Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda ate in the movie, in addition to blowing candy people, there are also dough pinching people, sugar syrup paintings, shadow puppet paintings, paper-cutting, etc., a lot of dazzling and amazing skills, in Anne Heard's opinion, they can be described as magical.

She is sure that in addition to herself, other American audiences will feel the same way after seeing this, conquered by the magic of the Chinese.

Due to the constraints of the conditions, it is impossible for such things as sugar figures, noodle figures, and sugar syrup paintings to be shipped to the United States for sale in the form of finished products, and at most they can only be made and stored in China and shipped to the United States for exhibition.

And shadow puppetry is only suitable for performance, but paper-cutting is different!

"Chen, tell me the truth, are those paper cuts in the movie deceitful?"

Anne Heard still doesn't quite believe her eyes. It's obviously just ordinary red paper, how can it be cut with scissors a few times, and after unfolding, it will become a variety of exquisite patterns?

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled dumbly, and Chen Ping'an answered Anne Hurd with practical actions.

He found a piece of white paper, folded it in half a few times, and then used scissors to cut it regularly a dozen times: "Annie, what do you think will become of this piece of paper when it is unfolded?" ”

The answer is latte art.

This is the simplest and most untechnical paper-cutting, Chen Ping'an will play when he is very young in the previous life, there are not many things to play at that time, this simple paper-cutting will be used by many children.

Staring at the latte art in Chen Ping'an's hand, Anne Hurd said for a long time: "This is far from the one in the movie, but I am beginning to believe it now." I think it's a great business opportunity, what do you think? ”

This is not only a business opportunity, but also a way to start the protection of Chinese handicrafts many years earlier, so that in a decade or two, these traditional handicrafts are in danger of being lost!

He certainly wouldn't object.

After the three discussed, it was decided that Jiang Zhiqiang would be responsible for the procurement and collection in China, and the sales in the United States would be in charge of Dark Horse International. When "Home Alone" was released, a batch of paper-cuts was purchased first and sold as a weekly film product, and if the sales were good, it could be expanded and incorporated into the sales department of Dark Horse International Film Peripheral Products.

Paper-cutting is a thing that is very magical, and the price is not high, so it will not increase the consumption pressure of the American people, and it should have an objective market.

"Lao Jiang, remember to take care of the villagers of Ping'an Village!" Chen Ping'an specially added.

He has all thought that if the market is opened up and the American market is welcomed, he will set up a business in Ping'an Village and turn Ping'an Village into a demonstration and protection base for traditional Chinese handicrafts.

"Annie, Mr. Ryder, did you make an appointment for me?"

"It's already an appointment. However, Mr. Ryder seemed to complain a little, saying that the matter of film distribution should be left to his distribution manager, and there was no need to alarm him. Anne Head actually thinks so, too.

"Home Alone" is not bad, but for this reason, it is a bit inappropriate to ask Alain Ryder Jr. to use his own private screening room to try out the film together.

Chen Ping'an smiled: "Is the screening room over?" ”

"There's no one left."

"Okay, I've got a little bit of a flower here, are you interested in watching it?"

When she came out of the small screening room again, Anne Heard had not yet recovered from the shock.

The film is only five minutes in total, but in these five minutes, the pictures and technology shown are enough to shock anyone in the industry.

"Now I understand why I asked Alain Ryder to meet in person."

Anne Hurd grabbed Chen Ping'an: "Industrial Light and Magic? ”

"No, Dark Horse VFX Studios."

"Oh, it's our technology that sells cakes! Then why do you keep hiding it from me? If this technology is applied, it will greatly increase the visual impact and shock, which will greatly help the box office of the company's films! ”

"So, I need to use the movie 'Jurassic Park' first to make this technology the most shocking."

"I'll tell Sù Cameron later, he's going to use this technology in his next film, which is a company movie."

"When are you going to release it?"

"In the second half of the year or next year."

"No problem, but the dark horse special effects studio is ready to become independent, and you will need to talk about it then. Let me remind you that the cost may not be lower than that of ILM. ”

That night, after dinner and back to the hotel, Chen Ping'an lay on the bed to relax.

Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia are not in Hollywood. The former was filming in the Motor City, the second female; The latter is out of town, and Anthony Hopkins is attending a series of promotional activities, also to cooperate with "The Silence of the Lambs" to impact the Oscars for promotion.

Julia has become more and more popular, and her fame and worth have surpassed Zhong Chuhong, because she is a white American.

As for Chen Chong...... Forget it, it was just a wonderful misunderstanding.

Chen Ping'an suddenly found that he might have to be a vegetarian for many days. He was used to never being accompanied by a woman for two nights in a row, and he was a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

You can't recruit J!

On the phone with Zhong Chuhong, Qingqing and I were for more than half an hour, and Chen Ping'an planned to call Shang Jiang Zhiqiang and others to go to the bar for a drink. Whether or not there is an affair is secondary, it is better than staying in a hotel and being bored.

Sitting up from the bed, about to go next door to find Jiang Zhiqiang, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

walked over and opened the door, and before he could see who it was, a delicate figure jumped on him: "Chen, you're finally here!" ”

Chen Ping'an knows who it is, Angelina Jolie! R1152
