"It's such a big house, this area is enough for tens of thousands of square meters, right?"

In the black Rolls-Royce sedan, a young man looked through the window at the various facilities in the manor and said, "If it is placed in China, which film director can afford such a mansion." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Making movies is so profitable?" He asked aside.

The mountain carving gently patted the young man's arm, "Xiao Liu, have you watched "Batman: Time to Go to War" released in China last year?" ”

"I've seen it."

The young man named Xiao Liu immediately nodded and said, "A very interesting movie." ”

"Do you know how much money Dukr Rosenberg took from this movie?"

Without waiting for the young man to answer, the mountain eagle raised a finger, "Not counting his share dividends, just by virtue of his directorship, he took at least $100 million in after-tax income." ”

"This ...... So many ......" Xiao Liu's eyes widened.

"This is just a public figure, and it should be a lot more." The mountain carving sighed, "Xiao Liu, you are about to go to film school, this time the old leader asked me to take you over, just to let you see the latest developments in the world film industry and feel the demeanor of the top directors in this industry......"

"I know"

Although they are bastards in some aspects, these people who have received elite education are undoubtedly extremely serious in their attitude towards business, and they can also distinguish priorities, so Xiao Liu nodded heavily, "Dukr Rosenberg has always been my idol." ”

If I can have half of him in the future, no...... Even if there is only a quarter or even a fifth of his achievements, it is not in vain that he chose the film industry.

The Rolls-Royce sedan they picked up was parked in front of a chic villa, and someone immediately came over and opened the door, Xiao Liu sorted out his dress, and followed the mountain carving out of the car.

The first thing he saw was the owner standing at the door of the villa, a man and a woman, the man was Duke Rosenberg, he looked to be in his early thirties, his short brown hair stood on end. It looks very energetic, and the dark brown and almost black eyes are like bottomless pools of water, and you can't see it no matter how you look at it.

Even if you haven't really interacted. The education he received since he was a child also told Xiao Liu that he must be a wise and determined person.

The blonde woman standing next to him was a standard American girl, although from an oriental point of view, her face was a little hard. But it's sexy and beautiful enough.

Xiao Liu knows this woman, a Hollywood female star who is not big or small, judging from the situation where she is holding Duke Rosenberg, she should be the girlfriend of this super director.

In recent years, with the increasing degree of information freedom, a lot of Hollywood information has also been transmitted there, such as this director, who is the most well-known Hollywood director over there, and all kinds of romantic stories about him are also circulating everywhere on the Internet, and even Xiao Liu has seen a lace news. The Hollywood stars he has dated can form a reinforced platoon.

However, Xiao Liu didn't think much about it, on this occasion, with his identity, he would not behave rudely no matter what, and followed behind the mountain carving and walked to the door of the villa.

"Hello, Mr. Han, welcome to visit."

Taking two steps forward, Duke shook the other's outstretched hand. Instead, he introduced, "This is Miss Scarlett Johansson." ”

The mountain eagle shook hands with Scarlett, and introduced the young man named Xiao Liu to Duke, under Duke's guidance. The group entered the small ballroom.

The dinner was held in the form of a formal dinner, and both sides knew that the so-called dinner was just a formality, and Duke must have had his own purpose in inviting the mountain carving over, and the mountain carving was willing to accept the banquet of an American director. Definitely not for a dinner either.

After a brief dinner, the two sides moved to a reception room facing the sea, and each chatted about the customs of the two sides, and the conversation gradually turned to the same industry film they were engaged in.

"Cinema is one of the infrastructures that exist in the film industry." Zashan carved a cup of coffee, put down the cup, and said, "The cinema company cooperated by Warner and China Film has built more than 50 theaters, and it is still increasing at a rate of five per month. ”

He suddenly sent out an invitation, "Director Rosenberg, we have always had close cooperation with each other, and on behalf of China Film Group, I would like to invite you to participate in the Sino-US Film Forum held in November this year." ”

"I can't confirm the itinerary right now."

After all, the time is still far away, and Duke is not sure whether he will be able to make the trip by then, and he will not rashly agree, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if he can't go, "Mr. Han, I need a while to give you an answer." ”

"I understand." The mountain eagle laughed, "Director Rosenberg has a busy job. ”

He suddenly changed the topic, "I don't know what other film plans director Rosenberg has in the future besides the current "Iron Man"? ”

Probably able to guess the intentions of some mountain carvings, Duke thought for a moment and said, "For the time being, there is only a sequel to Batman and a movie about robots." ”

"I wonder if director Rosenberg has considered investment from China?" The mountain eagle suddenly asked.

Duke didn't go around in circles, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Mr. Han, your China Film Group is interested in investing in my film?" ”

The mountain eagle nodded slowly, "It does mean so." ”

From the beginning of the official introduction of Hollywood films by China Film Group, the other party's films were the most popular and best-selling films in their own market, and at the turn of the century, there were even a large number of Duke Rosenberg fans.

After all, capital is profit-seeking, whether it comes from the private sector or the government.

After thinking about it for a while, Duke said, "Hollywood is all about international cooperation, and I personally don't rule out investment from outside Hollywood. But Mr. Han, you should go to Warner Bros. to negotiate specific terms. ”

With the current development situation, Warner Bros. may not completely reject the other party's investment, but these external funds may only get a share of the box office, and it is basically impossible to share the cake from the periphery.

Duke's attitude is obvious, he does not exclude or actively participate, he is only responsible for making films, and from the beginning to the present, except for "** Day" is too American, and the theme of "Chicago" is relatively niche, all his other films have been imported by China Film Group.

Relatively speaking, he is a director who is very neutral towards the other side of the Pacific.

The introduction of films by such directors will undoubtedly reduce a lot of political troubles for China Film Group.

In general, the two sides talked more happily, this kind of cooperation is originally a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences, Duke needs the market on the other side of the Pacific in the future, and China Film Group has made a lot of profits from the introduction of his films, which has laid a sufficient foundation for the cooperation between the two sides.

"Rosenberg Director ......"

It was impossible for the mountain carving to stay for too long, and after more than half an hour, he said goodbye, and when he left, he said to Duke, "China Film Group sincerely invites you to shoot a movie with us, and we also hope to see Chinese actors or behind-the-scenes personnel who can participate in the top production of your top director." ”

Duke shook his hand, "It will be." ”

As long as the market over there explodes, without saying much, Duke will let some Chinese actors start playing soy sauce in his films.

For example, according to his plan, when "Transformers" is released, the market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean will enter a stage of rapid development, and he plans to appropriately introduce a few actors from there.

And Transformers has an extraordinary meaning for many people on the other side of the Pacific, as long as it works well, it will inevitably become a series of movies that are crazy about making money, and Optimus Prime and Megatron are memories that many people will never be able to erase.

The difficulty of this series is also relatively small, as long as the special performance is guaranteed, and Optimus Prime and Megatron are always present, the attendance rate can be guaranteed.

According to Duke's idea, for business reasons, Optimus Prime and Megatron will constantly love and kill each other on the big screen, and even if they die, they can be resurrected.

Even at the right time, it is entirely possible to bring in the opposite actor and become one of the main actors of this series.

Sending off the two mountain carvings, Duke returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, still thinking about future plans, his planning schedule has been lined up for several years, and they are basically commercial films with large investment and big productions, and the speed of filming one film a year is almost the limit.

As for the Oscars, since winning the best director for "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", Duke's plan has not considered hitting the Oscars, unless the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences changes its style and no longer discriminates against commercial films, he basically misses the Oscars.

However, Duke, who understands the future trend of the Oscars becoming more and more niche, is well aware that this is an infinite possibility.

Although many people have criticized his completely commercial production style, Duke knows very well what he likes and what he needs, and will not change his planned path because of a few criticisms from a few people.

As he first thought when he first entered Hollywood, if he made a movie that he didn't even like himself, was there any fun to be had?

Those dull literary films may be synonymous with elegance or art in the eyes of some people, but Duke knows very well that letting him make such films, not to mention the problems of style, concept and technique, etc., interest alone is enough to suffocate him.

For example, there is news in the circle that a director who was once blasted out by him won the appreciation of some people with the concept of one shot to the end, and finally pulled down the investment, but Duke didn't care at all.

Maybe the other side can win the Oscars in the future, but what does it matter? Not to mention anything else, how many years has the director been grinding his mouth just for a few million dollars of investment?

Time is precious, and he doesn't waste it where he thinks it's not worth it. To be continued.
