Propriety?

If you guys talk about the rules, how did "Raid" become "SWAT Judge"? If you Lao Mei talk about the rules, why do the whole world know whose side the reason is in those wars, and the countries that have been beaten still can't open their mouths, and even if they open their mouths, they can't find a place to be reasonable?

There is only one reason for businessmen to follow the rules, and as Harry Sloan said, money!

Harry Sloan looks at everyone like a dollar now, don't look at it is only the end of 2007, but at this time Colombia is also having a hard time, they basically squeezed out $10 million from between their teeth to buy "Source Code", but I didn't expect that it was not as fast as Columbia, and it still didn't succeed in cutting off Hu in the end. So what about the $10 million? Take it to the bank to pay it off? They owe the bank 2 billion, what is the use of this 10 million dollars?

Or a $10 million investment in making a movie? In the absence of channel support, will the $10 million film help MGM? No, if the $10 million wasn't spent in the right place, maybe the money wouldn't have been poured and he wouldn't even be able to hear a sound, and Harry Sloan would never have been so stupid.

Just when Harry Sloan didn't know what to do, Shao Yingying came to the door!

"Shao? Are you listening to me? ”

Shao Yingying raised his head and glanced at Harry Sloane, shook his head, and said, "What's the difference?" In the end, my film had to rely on luck to break into the box office, just like "Source Code", with no publicity. Sometimes I wonder if you don't understand that a good karma can change your fate. ”

"Forget it. I just said that I complained, and I apologize if it made you feel uncomfortable. Goodbye, Harry...... No, Mr. Sloane. When Shao Yingying got up to leave, he found that Hollywood was definitely not so easy to break through, no wonder Cheng Long would be disgusted when he came, and his English was not good, no wonder Li Lianjie even had to wait for an audition for 40 minutes to an hour when he came. It's like the capital of China, even if you have extraordinary acting skills and extraordinary skills. If you don't have connections, you can't move an inch, and you expect others to help you? Forget it, maybe it's better to go home and daydream.

Harry Sloan watched Shao Hero walk to the door. Judging from Shao Yingying's smooth pace, he definitely didn't look like he was trying to use business negotiation skills, and when Shao Yingying's hand had already touched the office door, Harry Sloan suddenly said, "NO, NO." Wait a minute. Wait, Shao! ”

"Anything else?" Shao Yingying looked back at Harry Sloan and said.

Harry Sloan seemed to hesitate, he hesitated for a long time, and as he thought, he bent his index finger against his mouth, and the whole person seemed to be in a dilemma between ice and fire.

"Foreigners are so tricky?" Shao Yingying asked the translator, but the translator was at a loss.

"Wait, Shao!" When Shao Yingying put his hand on the doorknob again, Harry Sloan finally made up his mind and said, "I want to talk to you about another matter. ”

Another thing?

Harry Sloan...... Our hero Hua Yi doesn't seem to have much to do with MGM. It's the first time we've met, and if you don't agree to my request, you'll have to talk to me about another thing. That is, you have something to ask me? ”

Shao Yingying's brain was not slow, and after listening to Harry Sloan's words, he quickly made a judgment.

"Actually, I can help you...... Perhaps, we are mutually beneficial. ”

"Don't!" Shao Yingying felt a little familiar when he listened to this conversation mode, why did he feel so like a trick that he often used in China and would not be easy to use when he came to Hollywood?

"You still have something to say, maybe I really can't help you."

Harry Sloan smiled wryly and said, "I don't know if you can help me, at least please help me with more publicity stunts than we can find any Hollywood director." ”

"Here's ...... thing" Harry Sloan got to the point: "Before going to the East, we learned about Mr. Shao's past, and you can get to where you are today because of your success in the TV drama market, right?" We also know that your country's TV drama ratings record is still held by you and no one has broken it. And we, because of the failure of the acquisition of "Source Code", happen to have a spare amount of money in our hands, I don't know if we can use this money to invite you to ...... for us"

"Making a movie?" Shao Yingying was stunned for a moment, it is really new for foreign companies to find Chinese directors to make movies, instead of Chinese directors to break into Hollywood, I didn't expect such a fresh thing to really happen to me!

Shao Yingying took a handful and said, "I don't know if I have time, how much money do you plan to invest?" ”

Harry Sloan said: "Of course, we know that Mr. Shao has a large company to manage, and he will personally make movies and TV series every year to maintain the demand of the market in the east, but we also learned that the financial situation of Hero Huayi is not necessarily much better than MGM. ”

"If we do the hero Hua Yi this favor, then "Twilight" will definitely get a lot of cake in the market, and at that time, Mr. Shao Yingying will have a place in Hollywood. On the contrary, without our help, Mr. Shao would most likely face a huge debt that would take several years to repay, exactly like MGM. ”

Harry Sloan continued, "If we can help each other, with MGM helping you get hyped in Hollywood, and using our media relations to help you get the word out, then once you have your own place, you're going to help us shoot a ...... TV series! ”

"Mr. Shao, I say this for a reason, you may not know the rules of the Hollywood market, where film directors are generally not very involved in the filming of TV series, unless, they are very poor. Even some actors will not choose TV series as long as they have a movie to make, and most of the actors who make TV series are people who can't mix on the big screen. After Mr. Shao has two blockbuster movies under his name, "Source Code" and "Twilight", there are probably more people who want to ask you to make a movie than "Wu Yusen", and at the same time, a film director shoots a TV series for MGM, which is also a very good publicity point. When the time comes, this TV series will definitely make a lot of money for MGM. In this way, it will be beneficial for us to do you this favor. ”

Shao Yingying smiled, Harry-Sloan's wishful thinking was really good: "Harry, you are a little petty in our words, I dare to say, you must have a drum in your heart before making this decision." First of all, you have to make the most money on helping promote "Twilight", and this benefit will definitely not be money, because you know that even if the hero Huayi gives MGM money, it will not solve your urgent needs; Secondly, you help me make "Twilight" famous, and with a wave of your hand, you can let a director with a high box office shoot a TV series for the door, which will leave you a lot of publicity expenses, because you understand that the money in your hand is at most a small-budget movie, and if you smash it on a TV series, you can make good things; Finally, you're using me to make your way for you! The TV series shot by the Chinese TV drama ratings record holder and the Chinese local box office record holder can allow you to quickly open up the channels between TV stations, with this channel, MGM can have an extra pair of crutches and stand more stable! ”

"Because you know that MGM is terminally ill, and if you don't have these crutches, you're probably going to fall at any time!!"

"I'm here to break into Hollywood, do you think I'm going to be a fool?"

If Harry Sloan wasn't smart enough, he would never have been in MGM's position, and when he saw Shao Yingying's angry response, he already understood that this matter was discussed, the difference was that Shao Yingying didn't think they had enough chips to give.

"Okay, Mr. Shao, what do you think can be done to get this deal done?"

This time it was Shao Yingying's turn to be embarrassed, he never thought that Harry Sloan would make such a concession, it seems that his previous speculation was completely correct, at this stage, it is impossible for a director who has been successful in the big screen market to come back to direct American dramas, but American dramas are a key step to open up channels, that is to say, MGM will never find anyone with more gimmicks than himself except for convincing himself.

"You have to help promote our film, I don't want the producer to direct my work when I shoot the TV series, I want the absolute right to speak at the same time, I also want the editing right, in addition, I want to bring two actors from the East, the salary, $50,000 per episode, and I want to use the martial arts I am familiar with."

Shao Yingying feels that he can't ask too much anyway, he can't be a TV series director for nothing, right? Since you have chosen to do it, why don't you praise the actors of your own company? However, MGM actually wants to use TV series to open up channels, this thing is really fresh, Shao Yingying has never heard of it, which shows how embarrassing MGM's situation is at this time.

Hollywood is a place where there are more studios than hair salons, and there are many small studios that produce low-budget TV series for TV stations when they are not working, and some of these companies only need to have an office and rent equipment...... MGM actually relied on this...... Shao Yingying couldn't imagine how much pressure Harry Sloan was on.

"Yes!" Harry Sloan gritted his teeth and agreed: "But we also have two premises, first, Mr. Shao should know that the TV series here are filmed seasonally, then, our investment in the first season can only be less than 10 million, if it is exceeded, MGM is not responsible, and the hero Huayi is responsible for finding a way to solve the problem; Second, you have to ensure the time limit for shooting, whether it is your company or yourself, you must complete the shooting within the time limit. ”

Shao Yingying raised his head and asked, "Do you have a special effects production company that is familiar, has good technology, and is quick and cheap to work?" ”

He agreed, for the sake of "Twilight"! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. (To be continued......)
