Chapter 699: A Difficult Choice

After some beating, Wang Zichuan suppressed Columbus's ambitions, and suddenly felt a little more defensive in his heart, these American filmmakers are too strong, and a newcomer dares to take care of him and set him up, this time fortunately Spielberg was not chosen as the director, otherwise the result would be unpredictable.

"This is a strong character!" Spielberg and Columbus glanced at each other and read a sentence in their hearts at the same time.

In Hollywood, the Chinese have no status, actors can only play some negative roles, directors can only make third-rate films, and the action direction is also designed according to the needs of Americans, to put it bluntly, there is no autonomy, kung fu superstar Li Xiaolong is just a flash in the pan, just gained a foothold in Hollywood, and then quickly fell.

Wang Zichuan tapped his right index finger on his knee, looked at Columbus with his eyes, and said slowly: "I will assign a producer, and you can discuss the shelf of the crew with her." ”

“no! no! Columbus didn't expect the other party to inch in, put his hand into the crew, and hurriedly retorted: "Mr. Wang, you are conducting indiscriminately, which will affect the box office of the movie!" The producer had to understand the U.S. market and direct the day-to-day operations of the crew......"

Wang Zichuan was displeased, and said coldly with a straight face: "Do you have an opinion? ”

Columbus opened his mouth and stammered, and swallowed back the words when the words came to his mouth, because he was afraid of annoying the young rich man in front of him, and finally encountered an opportunity to make an independent film, missed this opportunity, and did not know when it would be, he hated the days of waiting.

Embarrassment for a long time, Columbus looked at Spielberg for help, he was messed up by Wang Zichuan's whimsical thoughts, in the American film industry, especially in mainstream Hollywood, it has long been the producer who dominates the entire filming, although under the influence of French New Wave cinema, with the decline of Old Hollywood and the rise of New Hollywood, the position of the producer began to waver, and the position of the director began to strengthen. But it is undeniable that the rights of the producer are far greater than that of the director, and the director cannot be a part-time producer, this director is a puppet and disobedient, and the producer can be replaced at any time.

Spielberg was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth to persuade: "Mr. Wang, I think this move is inappropriate, stand in the position of a friend, I advise you." The producer had to find someone who understood the U.S. market. ”

Wang Zichuan was stunned and said: "What are you American producers responsible for?" ”

Spielberg couldn't cry or laugh, and realized in his heart that there must be a difference between Hong Kong producers and American Hollywood producers, otherwise the shrewd Mr. Wang would not have said such a 'confused' thing, Spielberg pondered for a while and explained the concept of Hollywood producer in detail.

In the field of commercial films in Hollywood, it is easy to make a blockbuster with hundreds of millions of dollars, and the producers who represent the interests of big studios or Wall Street investors still hold the power of life and death, and Hollywood's producer system is extremely perfect. A film has both a producer who represents the funder, an executive producer who monitors the set every day, and an on-site producer, who have no less command over the production than the director, and the film's distribution and marketing are all operated by the producer. If the director is the prime minister of the crew, then the producer is the emperor of the crew.

Wang Zichuan realized that he had made a fuss, and although the producers in Hong Kong have great power, they are by no means as outrageous as Hollywood. For example, Tengfei Entertainment produced the film "Prison Storm", he is the producer, and Lin Lingdong is the director. Chen Baixiang is the producer, the entire crew of "Prison Storm" is Lin Lingdong, Chen Baixiang is not in charge of the crew's pre-preparation and post-production, basically does not interfere, he is the producer who has not even leaked the face, the complete director-centered system, the reason why he appointed the producer to "Home Alone" is to manage the money bag, lest Columbus be like Wang Jiawei, a film will be filmed for several years, and additional investment will be required every two months, and the cost will exceed the budget dozens of times in a few years.

Wang Jiawei's big pit, Wang Zichuan still remembers it vividly, "Forrest Gump" was filmed for a few months, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, Zhou Yanfa and other big names were on call, the funds were spent more than 8 million, and less than a quarter of the film was filmed, Wang Zichuan can think of what Chen Chaowu's mood is now, he was forced by Hong Xing to go to Taiwan, and it is impossible to settle accounts with Wang Jiawei, the only way is to keep raising money, and then remit it to Wang Jiawei to squander.

Columbus gritted his teeth and deliberately persuaded with courage: "I propose to strengthen the right of producers, directors should be independent and should not be constrained, if they can't be the masters, such directors can't make good works." ”

Wang Zichuan Khan made a persuasive appearance and said: "I can promise you this request, after the crew starts shooting, you will operate as the center, the producer will be responsible for managing the finances, and will not interfere with the director's rights, and I will entrust a production director to assist you." ”

"Great!" Columbus seemed to be smashed by a pie, and when the mountains and rivers were poor, he encountered willows and flowers!

Spielberg praised: "It was a wise decision!" ”

"I hope so!" Wang Zichuan officially handed over the script to Columbus and reminded: "The producer I appointed to you is called Li Yi, although she is Chinese, she spends most of her time in the United States, and she is also the financial manager of ATV TV. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, I swear to God that I will not disappoint you!" Columbus was incoherent with excitement, he did what only a great director can do, dominate a crew.

Spielberg quipped, "It's exciting. The young man who loves him can't wait to do a big job. ”

Columbus said: "I want to assemble the crew now to catch up with this year's Christmas schedule." ”

Wang Zichuan smiled: "If you are not tired, you can go to San Francisco now, I will call Li Yi and ask her to assist you in forming the crew, well, I already have a candidate for the heroine, her name is Nicole, she has participated in the Miss Australia election, starred in several films, and is very famous in Hong Kong and Australia." ”

Columbus complimented, "It must be a beautiful woman." ”

Spielberg patted Columbus on the shoulder and reminded, "Dear Chris, it's time for us to take our leave." ”

Chris. Columbus said: "I want to take a night plane, I only read the script once, but the plot has been reflected in my mind, no accident, it can be completed in two months." ”

"I'm waiting for your good news!" Wang Zichuan nodded with satisfaction, the Christmas schedule is a gimmick, after all, the plot of "Home Alone" takes place during the Christmas period, which is very helpful to the box office of the film.

Spielberg walked to the door and turned back and said, "Dear Wang, don't forget our agreement, I can't wait to officially leave for mysterious China next week." ”

"Of course!" Wang Zichuan sent the two out, in the past two days he understands some Hollywood market rules, simply put, a little disappointed, in Hong Kong, the film industry is supported by the British government in Hong Kong, completely free-style development, not only tax exemption, but also enjoy various preferential treatments, but in the United States, to pay taxes, for Wang Zichuan, who enjoys the full box office in Hong Kong, this is a very heavy tax, but the American market is very large, the box office income is a small head, and the development around the film is comprehensive, which is also the reason why Hong Kong films are desperately developing towards Hollywood.

"Mr. Wang, what a coincidence!"

Liu Jialing smiled, as if she happened to meet, in fact, she lingered at the gate of Wang Zichuan for more than half an hour, which is to create this kind of 'chance encounter' bridge, last night I thought about it for a night, she knew what she wanted. Looking at the front, nothing mattered, even if Liang Chaowei expressed his affection for her yesterday, she couldn't bear to give up and pretend to be confused.

"It turned out to be Miss Liu, what are you...... Just swimming? Wang Zichuan was puzzled, when he saw Spielberg away just now, he obviously saw Liu Jialing's back, why did she turn back again, and she was wearing a swimsuit, a red bikini, and a red robe on the outside, if he was not mistaken, Liu Jialing was wearing a white dress just now.

Liu Jialing showed her most amorous side, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, do you have time?" I'd like to talk to you for a while. ”

"Please come in!"

Wang Zichuan and Liu Jialing entered the room one after the other, he knew that Liu Jialing was very scheming, and in order to achieve the goal, he would do whatever it takes, but God will make people, such a shrewd beauty is still struggling in the TV station, at least there are no less than ten Hua Dan who are as famous as her, and there are old Hua Dan such as Zhao Yuzhi on it, and it is difficult to come out!

"It's hot!"

Liu Jialing took off her red robe, sat on the chair where Wang Zichuan was sitting just now, cocked her right leg, looked at the cigarette butt on the coffee table and said, "Mr. Wang, there was a guest just now?" ”

"How do you know?" Wang Zichuan asked very cooperatively, he didn't know Liu Jialing's intentions, and he visited him in two pieces of fabric in broad daylight, wasn't he afraid of losing his body?

Liu Jialing said with a smile: "Mr. Wang has no smell of smoke. ”

Wang Zichuan said: "I just chatted with two friends for a while about film. ”

Liu Jialing's heart beat faster, this is what she wants, and she complimented: "Mr. Wang has a really wide range of contacts, he has friends everywhere, and he had a pleasant conversation with a big American director yesterday." ”

Last night, I knew from Zhou Xingchi's mouth that the foreigner's name was Spielberg, and Liu Jialing went to a nearby bar overnight to inquire, and only then did she understand Spielberg's identity, famous in Hollywood, a veritable director!

I'm wearing too little! Wang Zichuan's eyes involuntarily fell on Liu Jialing's chest, there were only two small dots covering the two buds, the surrounding white flesh, a lower abdomen without a trace of fat, and slender legs......

"Spielberg is the foreigner from yesterday, and he introduced me to a director today, a very interesting person."

Liu Jialing said excitedly: "Mr. Wang really wants to invest in Hollywood blockbusters!" ”

One step to the sky! These are the only four words in Liu Jialing's mind, and she wants to take this step to the sky!

Wang Zichuan understood Liu Jialing's intention and played with taste: "Miss Liu is interested in this?" (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for the 1888 coins.

What do you think of Liu Jialing, did she sleep when she came to the door?
