Chapter 118: Go to the United States again

After New Year's Day, Qi Lei's new drama "Basketball Fire" was officially completed!

The closing ceremony was held in front of the Shanghai Gymnasium, and all the leading actors, choreographers, cameramen, costume artists, lighting, and even the most basic field staff in the "Basket" drama were all present!

Qi Lei didn't know what the other film and television crews were like when they were finished. But as far as Qi Lei himself is concerned, he is not the kind of person who does the work by others, and the color is his own, and he is selfish.

On the contrary, because Qi Lei once came from the bottom to the present, he can understand the hard work and bitterness of these grassroots workers.

Similarly, at this time, Reviver was the boss of a studio. For the hard work and dedication of low-level employees on weekdays, Qi Lei can't do what other bosses see in their eyes and put in their hearts!

It's hard work, but it's easy to say these three words. But as a manager, empathy for subordinates is more about actions than words!

Therefore, at the ceremony of the completion of the new drama "Basketball Fire", there was a spectacular scene attended by the whole crew!

This has suddenly become an alternative landscape in the eyes of the entertainment reporters who came to interview that day! ……

In other words, it is not that there is no banquet or salary to reward the grassroots staff of the crew, but generally speaking, only the most important actors, directors, producers, and investors in the crew attend public events!

But since Qi Lei of Shanghai Huayi Company entered the industry, the finale ceremony of every new film has become more and more distinctive! …… From the beginning of the "Xiang" drama to the current "Basket" drama all the staff together.

Qi Lei is gradually using his practical actions to announce to the world where his personality charm lies! ……

Of course, today's Revival is just starting out in this regard. But at least for now, everyone who works in Revival Studios almost greets them to work and leave work with a smile every day.

For ordinary part-time workers, working under such a boss is satisfying!

……

In the next few days, Qi Lei returned to working from 9 to 5 in the morning like an office worker.

And the "Basket" drama has also entered the post-production and editing, as well as the dubbing of actors and other roles. It can be said that Qi Lei at this time can be regarded as the most idle time as a star artist!

But even so, the training that should be on weekdays, the announcements that should be rushed, and the on-site activities that should be out, Qi Lei's one has done all of them by himself.

Of course, one of the things that Qi Lei has done the most during this time is to add the names of a few more star artists to the list of artists in his studio!

Because of the relationship between the "Basket" drama, Yan Chengxu, Wu Zun, Lin Chiling and several other free people in the entertainment industry finally found the organization After New Year's Day in 2002, they officially and gloriously became another star in Qi Lei Film and Television Studio.

But even so, Qi Lei still feels extremely unmanpowered! …… Because there are too many scenes to be filmed in his heart, how can he say that the film and television scripts that Qi Lei can come up with for a while will definitely not be less than 20.

And among them, with the memories stored in his mind in the past, those big dramas and dramas that will be widely acclaimed in the future only account for 1/3! The remaining 2/3 are the drama scripts that Qi Lei wants, desires, and expects to start filming the most!

These dramas are what Qi Lei thinks will make him popular in the future, and the biggest thing depends on Wow!

……

Until January 11, 2002, when Qi Lei was busy for more than half a month after recording the dubbing of his "Basket" drama.

He only took 10 days to appear at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport with his agent KING and a special female companion Lin Chiling, waiting for the flight to Los Angeles City, USA! …,

As for the reason why everyone is curious why Qi Lei didn't ask his girlfriend Li Bingbing to go to the United States with him, it's actually very simple!

First, the script of Qi Lei's next new drama and new film has been submitted to the approval department of Shanghai Huayi Company, and it has been approved! And Li Bingbing, as the object of Qi Lei's key care in the future, will definitely not be able to run away from the heroine No. 1 of the new drama and new film.

Naturally, in order to find the sense of drama of the character faster, the ice beauty can only stay at home and gnaw on the script aggrievedly! Of course, on the other hand, it was because this time Qi Lei's trip to the United States was still the kind of semi-commercial nature.

Compared with Billin's beauty, Li Bingbing has to suffer a little bit in terms of business. So, I had to hand over my boyfriend to my new best friend Lin Chiling to take care of!

I don't know, these two people don't know who is in charge of who in the end......

Two days later, MGM Film and Television, a branch of MGM on the Avenue of Fame in Los Angeles, welcomed three guests.

They are Qi Lei and his party from Huayi Company in Shanghai, China.

"Haha...... Dear Qi, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Welcome to the United States and to the world of movies......" Jack, the boss of Michael Company, who received Qi Lei and his party, laughed and stepped forward to give Qi Lei a big hug and said.

"Mr. Jack, long time no see! I can see that you're having a good life now, wow......" Qi Lei teased Jack.

"Haha...... That there is something, that there is something, come~ let's go in and talk about it! Please~"

"Please! ~”

When everyone came to a meeting room, there were already two strange American men sitting on the sectional sofa inside. Seeing the group coming in, the two nodded at Qi Lei and his party as a greeting.

After everyone found a place to sit down, Jack, the boss of Michael Company, spoke first to introduce the three of Qi Lei: "My dear friend, Qi." Come, let me introduce you to you, this is the deacon of the Los Angeles branch of our American Directors and Screenwriters Guild (because I don't know the staffing of this union, so I have to pick one up by myself!). Mr. Ghart! He's been looking up to you for a long time! ”

Jarhardt is a middle-aged American man with a little fat, but this kind of fat does not look fat on his body, but under his height of nearly 1.9 meters, which makes people feel a strong feeling.

"Hello, Mr. Ghart!" Because of the first meeting, Qi Lei simply shook hands with him politely and said hello.

Gerhardt looked much older: "Hello, Mr. Qi Lei! For you, a few old guys in our American Directors and Screenwriters Guild, but I've admired you for a long time! When I saw it today, it was really a column of young talents, not bad~ good! ”

"Thanks, Mr. Ghart, you're so complimenting the boy!"

At this time, Jack introduced to a man with gold-rimmed glasses and about 27 or 8 years old next to Jahart: "This is Mr. Dawson, one of the famous film critics in the Los Angeles branch of the Screen Actors Guild!" ”

"Hello, Mr. Dawson!"

"Hello, Revival! The "Dance Out of My Life" you filmed before was very good..."

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Maybe it's a personality problem, Qi Lei always feels that this Dawson's character has a feeling of turning words into gold!

"Hehe, it's really a rare thing to get Mr. Dawson's compliment! Qi, you know what? Who in the film industry of Los Angeles does not know that Mr. Dawson is known for his rigor and fairness! On weekdays, there are very few celebrities who can win a compliment from Mr. Dawson...... "Jack will say."

"Oh, is that so? And that really flattered me! ~Thank you very much Mr. Dawson for your appreciation! Qi Lei nodded to Dawson in thanks. …,

After that, Qi Lei also introduced himself and his group to the three of Jack.

After politely speaking, several people first chatted and ridiculed a few words before getting to the point, and Jack, the boss of Michael Company, took out a letter of agreement and said: "Okay, I know that it is not easy for you to come to the United States from thousands of miles away." Here's a confirmation of your total salary for your previous film "Dance", and if there are no problems, sign your name in the bottom left corner of the confirmation...... Then this check with a total value of $3,251.8705 is yours! ”

Because when he came before, Michael had already confirmed the salary of "Dance" with Qi Lei. When Revival saw this number again, it was already much more bland than when he first heard about this amazing result.

After carefully reading the confirmation letter, Qi Lei picked up the pen on the table and signed his name on the confirmation letter. Then the check for the total remuneration of the "Dance" film was handed to Qi Lei through the hands of Mr. Jarhart of the Directors and Screenwriters Guild of America.

Finally, the fruitful results of more than 30 million US dollars have been put firmly in my pocket! Wow...... The moment Qi Lei received the check, he was very moved and thought.

After that, Jack signed a confirmation letter with Gerhardt in front of Gerhardt for foreign film fee funds, and handed over a check of more than $3 million for the total remuneration of "Dance" to Gerhardt!

So far, this time because of the salary distribution of the "Dance" film, it has finally been completed perfectly!

Of course, everyone must be very strange here, why does Qi Lei have to pay such a heavy fee to the Directors and Screenwriters Guild of America.

That's because there is already a fairly mature and complete system for all walks of life in the United States. For outsiders, if they want to eat in the United States, if they do not have the permission of the management system such as the guild of each industry, and obtain a certain commercial success......

The handling fee required at this time is frighteningly high, of course, this is also a means of self-protection for local enterprises and industry practitioners in the American business community!

And the previous rush of the filming and release of Qi Lei's "Dance" was also very hasty. Therefore, there is no registration in the relevant guilds, and naturally for the treatment of their members by these guilds, Qi Lei will not be able to enjoy it!

This is also the reason why the two people of the Directors and Screenwriters Guild of America and the Actors Guild are here today, and the two of them have only two purposes today: one is to personally verify and supervise the entire process of salary distribution, and the other is to invite Qi Lei to join the guild of the two of them.

Of course, for the friendly invitation of the two, Qi Lei definitely accepted it unconditionally with joy. After all, maybe in the near future, the status of registered members of these two guilds will be able to be used by themselves!

And when all these things were done, everyone was greeted and teased again......

After a while, Jack of Michael asked Qi Lei, intentionally or unintentionally, "Oh, my dear friend Qi, you know what? "Dance" was a national success and was greatly appreciated by many young men and women across the United States, who are asking when will there be a sequel to "Dance"? As the original creator, are you interested in taking advantage of the situation to make a sequel to the "Dance" film? ”

At this time, Qi Lei thought for a while before saying, "I'm really sorry, Jack!" In fact, I also hope to make a better song and dance film for fans all over the United States to enjoy. But you don't know, my current movie schedule is almost 03 years, and the days of the whole year are full. So here, I have to say I'm sorry to you! ”

"Oh, if that's the case, that's really disappointing!" For Jack, who has already tasted the sweetness, the success of the "Dance" film has made him can't wait to see what kind of drastic impact the appearance of the sequel will have on the whole of America! …,

It's a pity that this beautiful idea of his made Qi Lei crush it alive!

However, his disappointment was erased by Qi Lei's next sentence before he could brow up.

Qi Lei said: "Yes, I'm sorry that the sequel to "Dance" can't be enjoyed by fans for the time being. But I now have two animated films that are almost finished in post-production, and they are ready to be released! I wonder if you're interested, Mr. Jack? ”

"Oh? Animated films? At this time, Dawson of the Actors Guild interjected.

"Yes, two CG animated films! According to the current progress, I estimate that it will be released during the summer vacation this year! ”

Jahart, from the Director's Guild on the side, also interjected and asked, "Oh, is that so?" What are the names of these two movies? And their stories are ......"

At this time, after looking at the interested faces of the three well-known figures in the American film industry in front of him, Qi Lei said with a mysterious and confident face: "One is called "Kung Fu Panda", and the other is called "Cars"...... What's the matter, are the three gentlemen interested in accompanying me to see the VCR introduction of the freshly baked video in my hand a few days ago? ”
