Chapter 781: Give Me Some Time to Think About It!
Although there was one more stranger at the dinner between the two, Lin Yuna also knew very well that she was very enthusiastic about her friend Li Shengxian. The woman in front of them, if they can deal with them well, will also be very helpful for them to enter China in the future.
The most important thing is that according to Li Shengxian's introduction, Lin Yuner knows that Li Bing graduated from a professional film and television school and has debuted as an old-timer for many years. And their fame in China is still much better than theirs.
With the dishes ordered by Li Shengxian before, they were served one after another. The topic with Li Bing gradually shifted to Li Shengxian's business itinerary in the United States. After listening to it, Li Bing was also very surprised.
She has already set up her own studio last year, and she also wants to make a breakthrough in her career. This time I came to the United States, I also hope to demand some cooperation. It's just the effect, but it's not very optimistic, Hollywood's xenophobia is beyond imagination.
Now I hear that Lee Sung-hyun is in the United States, not to mention that he has a wholly-owned film and television company, and is also preparing to shoot a Hollywood commercial business with a budget of nearly 100 million. Even with Fox Movies, there is a movie that is about to start.
Such a thing, for Li Bing, it is impossible to think about it or not!
A little curious, he said: "Director Li, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking a question, do you think Hollywood is xenophobic?" ”
For such a question, Li Shengxian was also stunned for a moment and said: "Sister Bing, this question should be known to Asian actors, right?" However, I grew up in the United States and later returned to Korea because of family changes.
Although I haven't been in Hollywood for long, you should know that the United States pays attention to interests. Whoever can bring them benefits, they will welcome them. And I, on the other hand, have proven my strength through the 'source code'.
In addition, I have my own independent agency, and these Hollywood studios are not well funded. Therefore, this xenophobia is although. But a lot of times, they have to rely on me, not me.
In addition to the film shot by our company, Yoona will play the female lead, and in the movie with Fox, our company's artist Jun Ji-hyun. She will also serve as the female number one. That's a great example!
Oh, and I almost forgot about Jihyun. Some time ago, the searchlight company sent an invitation letter to my company, wanting to invite Jihyun to participate in an interview for a movie. As far as I know, you're also one of the invited heroines of the film, right? ”
Snowflake Secret Fan, a 'Brokeback Mountain' that many people consider to be a female version. It was only because of Lee Sung-hyun that Jun Ji-hyun had other filming arrangements that he politely declined the invitation at that time.
Li Bing who heard this. He also nodded and said, "Not bad!" I came to the United States this time for this movie. It's just a little helpless that there is a problem with the investor of this film. ”
In fact, Li Bing, who has read the script, also knows that such a 'lesbian' movie will definitely not be very optimistic at the box office. But she feels that this is also a springboard to Hollywood.
It's a pity that because the investment went wrong. The film has also been delayed indefinitely. This is for Li Bing, who is very picky about movie scripts at present. Undoubtedly, it is also a somewhat helpless trouble.
'Didn't your company participate in the investment?' ’
Regarding Li Shengxian's inquiry, Li Bing did not hide it: "Director Li may not know that I have set up my own studio last year. Although there is still cooperation with Huayi, in terms of investment, Huayi seems to feel that the return is not high. ”
And Li Shengxian pondered for a while and said: "Regarding that movie, I have actually read that novel too. In my opinion. I'm afraid the box office of this movie will not be too optimistic. In particular, the starring roles are two Asian actresses.
Secondly, the adaptation rights of this script should have been purchased by Murdoch's wife. Looking for you to play the leading role, should it be related to your personal relationship, right? For investors. They want a return on their investment.
If this movie is really favored, I think with Murdoch's financial resources, it should not be impossible to get the investment in a movie. I don't think you necessarily have to look for an opportunity to enter Hollywood through this movie. ”
Although he doesn't have many memories of the 'Snowflake Secret Fan' in his head, Lee Sung-hyun still knows that this is a big pounce movie. In addition to winning a certain box office in China, it is a complete hit in the North American market.
Just when Li Bing felt that what Li Shengxian said was really correct, Li Shengxian said in a timely manner: "A few days ago, I had lunch with Murdoch at Fox. It was a very sensible old man.
And according to my observations, his recent situation with that wife is not too optimistic. If you don't mind, I think we might have a chance to work together.
Although I bought the agency, it was more to promote Korean actors to enter the Hollywood market. But your acting skills still have potential, and I am also very optimistic and recognized. After all, even Brother Long said that he admires your attitude towards work.
Maybe I can't guarantee that I'll give you a chance soon. But if I give me some time, I should be able to find a chance to work with Hollywood. Compared with other film and television companies, my funds are still very abundant. ”
Faced with Li Shengxian's suggestion, Li Bing thought for a while and said, "Thank you, Director Li!" Just about this, can you give me some time to think about it. ”
'Of course! ’
After talking about these things, Li Bing's attitude towards Li Shengxian seemed to be much more polite. In fact, whether it is investment or film and television, it is inseparable from capital.
Even if Li Bing has acting skills and connections, in terms of capital, her strength is still not enough. For her, even if she has the money to make some movie-related investments. But every time she invests, she will be very cautious.
The reason is also very simple, all that money is her hard-earned. If she loses money, she will also lose a lot. And investing in movies seems to be a huge profit. But losing money is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
For the cooperation proposed by Li Shengxian, Li Bing is of course also very happy. It's just that she needs to be cautious in this kind of thing. If she dared to sign a contract with a company, she couldn't do such an impulsive thing.
After the dinner, after the two exchanged contact information, Li Bing also left the restaurant early. After the other party left, Lin Yuna said: "Oppa, do you want to sign this actress?" ”
Well, if the company wants to grow, it can't be too different. Being able to invite her to join is still good for the company's future. Besides, her acting skills and popularity are still worth investing in in my opinion. ’
Actually, the deeper idea is. Li Shengxian wants to share the profits in the future investment of Huaxia Film and Television Capital through this cooperation. And Li Bing is undoubtedly a good partner and springboard! (To be continued.) )
