Chapter 608: Special Contracts (1)

"Princess's recommendation?" David was stunned: "Are you sure?" That's not a funny joke, Ms. Himemir. ”

Shimir shrugged, "David, I'm not going to joke about this kind of thing. I was also puzzled that the princess, who had never been involved in such things, had written a letter of recommendation herself, and it was written by herself. I also hope it's a God joke. ”

"There is always a time for rest in God." David poured a cup of coffee, tasted the bitter taste and said, "Personally, personally, the princess obviously attaches great importance to it." We have no reason to shirk it, China is different from the United States, now it is here to gain a foothold, the government's support is indispensable, and the point now is, what do we do? ”

Himir looked out the window and suddenly said, "Or...... Accept him into the WMA family? ”

Her black fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, "His record can be described as brilliant." The main subordinates hold the dawn, and in a year's time, this thing will be the time of a full-scale explosion. Oh, I've seen the rules of dawn shine through. ”

"Himel, you know it's not going to be easy." David frowned and said, "He stepped on something that shouldn't have been stepped on, and sooner or later it will be turned over." ”

Neither of them spoke, and after a while, Himir said, "Anyway, the princess's name is already there, at least give her face, so let's talk to him in three days." I'm also interested in him, and his achievements over the past few years have been nothing short of spectacular. ”

"David, I'll leave this matter to you."

The tenth day after the New Year.

The cold wind was still raging in the air, and many departments had resumed their official work, and Lin Xiao had already returned to Beijing.

Qin Xin came back with him, knowing that he might leave, and the two were tired of spending more time together.

Most of the time, there is nothing to do, so the two of them just move two chairs to the balcony to watch the scenery, drink drinks and talk about the future.

"The family is quite happy with you." Qin Xin leaned on his shoulder, looked at the floating clouds in the sky, and said lazily, "But I didn't rush us, my mother said that it is better for artists to get married later, and you won't run anyway." ”

Lin Xiao touched her hair: "Wait for me to take you to Broadway next year to watch me perform a stage play." ”

"You're beautiful." Qin Xin hit his chest with his head, "That place, even outsiders like me know that global elites gather...... Just go? ”

"What an outsider is, it's an insider." Lin Xiao corrected solemnly.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

"Mr. Lim, I'm the head of Asia Pacific at WMA Brokerage. Ms. Himer. "The other party's voice is gentle" First of all, I wish you a happy new year. ”

"Happy New Year." Lin Xiao suddenly lifted his mind in his heart, a few years ago, his application was handed in, and now, the other party's reply has finally come.

After a few small talks, Himir turned to the topic.

"Mr. Lin, we have reviewed your information. But it wasn't submitted. It's not that you're not enough, on the contrary, you're more than many people, but ...... Before that, I would like to talk to you in detail. ”

"Miss Himemir, is there anything you don't go into detail?"

"No, no, no, your information is very detailed, and it is no different from what we have collected, but ......" she sighed, "Some things are difficult to explain clearly on the phone, why don't you make an appointment with Mr. Lin, and let's plan in detail." ”

She said with something in her words, "Whether you really decide to go out of the world, please ask Mr. Lin to decide when the time comes." ”

"WMA is willing to be your bridge if you want to. If it doesn't work out to you, we're still a partner. ”

"Okay, how about tomorrow?"

Himemir paused slightly, and said with a smile, "Is Mr. Lin in such a hurry?" Actually, if you're really in a hurry, you can do it tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow, then."

Putting down the phone, Lin Xiao took a long breath.

Finally, he has a path to a foreign country, and he is eager to know what the other party has to say about him.

"I'm going to go out for a while." He smiled and patted Qin Xin's head, "I should be back in four days." ”

"Well, you're going to cook for me then."

"Okay, no problem."

In the afternoon of the same day, he bought a ticket to Shanghai, but his assistant didn't bring him, only a bodyguard, and went to Shanghai alone.

Outside the country, there is a completely different world, he must rush to the top of Hollywood step by step, assistants, teams, these are all secondary forces, the real strong, or himself!

The next day, in a private café in Shanghai, when Lin Xiao arrived, he had already seen Himir sitting there with a white man.

"Mr. Lin, welcome, welcome." The black woman was very plump, dressed in a black suit, with a bright rose pinned to her neckline, and she held up the whole outfit to the whole outfit. ”

"This is Mr. David." The three of them shook hands and sat down separately, Shimir nodded at the white man, "I am mainly responsible for the selection of artists, and the decision is up to me, today, it is mainly Mr. David who talks to you." ”

Lin Xiao smiled and sat down.

"Mr. Lin, I've already read your information." David took out about fifty pages of information from his briefcase, "Mr. Lin, as the boss, time is precious, so I will try to save time." ”

"First of all, I have a question." David's expression became solemn, "Mr. Lin's current status in the country should be a good word." If China is compared to Hollywood, Mr. Lin belongs to the highest ranks of 20 million salaries. Why does Mr. Lin still want to go to Hollywood? ”

Lin Xiao thought about it and didn't hide it, "I want to be recognized by more people." And the most influential film factory in the world, except for Hollywood, does not think secondly. ”

There was one more sentence that he did not utter.

Only there can be a superstar!

David nodded, this reason, he expected. Regardless of whether Lin Xiao stepped on the line or not, but he could resolutely challenge foreign countries when he was red and purple in China, any artist is worthy of his sincere admiration.

"Second question, Mr. Lin, in what capacity do you want to enter a foreign country?"

"Entertainer, director? Screenwriter? Or...... The CEO of the company? ”

He asked very casually, Lin Xiao didn't think much about it, and replied directly, "Artist." ”

Himemir smiled, David smiled, and the two took a sip of coffee and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, for choosing the most glorious and high-profile career in Hollywood." ”

The corners of Himemir's mouth raised a kind arc, "Don't say anything else, Mr. Lin, you haven't entered Hollywood yet, you don't need to know these rules for the time being, however, being an entertainer is the best profession in Hollywood, there is no one!" ”

David also smiled, "There is a famous saying in Hollywood, directors, producers, crews, and even the Big Six are all working boys of artists." Let's put it this way, according to my understanding, Chinese artists are actually not very high due to the influence of the phrase 'drama'. Only in Hollywood can you appreciate what it means to cover the sky with one hand. ”

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, "It's a bit exaggerated, right?" ”

"No exaggeration, Mr. Lin." David laughed, "Directing is the hardest and most tiring job, followed by producer, and his fame is not half of that of an artist, not to mention his income, status...... Top artists are definitely on an equal footing with Spielberg. Oh, anyway, if you have the opportunity to step into Hollywood, you know, there, it's the world of artists, directors, producers, and even some of the giants have to step aside. ”

He restrained his smile, "But, Mr. Lin, that's exactly why we didn't report it. ”

"You've inadvertently run into Hollywood's most feared rules."

"That's the Trinity!"

Lin Xiao frowned, "What do you say?" ”

"Is there a trinity in Hollywood? Absolutely. However, almost all of it is with the big names. He said a word, but stopped, and pressed his eyebrows with a headache, "Oh, Mr. Lin, this is too long to say, we have to start with the composition of Hollywood." ”

"It's very good for you to go abroad. Because, Japan and South Korea are almost all following the rules of Hollywood, China can be said to be the only special market among the big countries, understanding these will be of great help to you to go abroad. ”

"China, Japan and South Korea are all director-centered systems." He talked eloquently, "But Europe and the United States are different, Europe and the United States are producer-centric. ”

"To put it simply, directors and artists, in the hands of brokerage companies, contact large companies through agents and managers, and large companies, Mr. Lin must not think that they are making movies. They only issue! Good directors, screenwriters, and the Big Seven -- oh no, the Big Six, MGM just been swallowed up by Sony, and their people are in a relationship, not a Chinese contract. Directors, artists, are completely free, they only belong to the agency, not to the six major companies. Of course, it's not that there are no artists under the Big Six, it's just that the way to sign a contract with a brokerage company is more free, and it is chosen by more than 90% of artists. ”

"This system, which gradually took shape after the collapse of the American 'studio system' in the 50s of the 20th century, is the cornerstone of Hollywood. The producer, the representative of the Big Six, has the biggest say in the film. ”

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, he seemed to think of something, but he didn't catch it for a while.

"The Big Six, only the producers. This producer, Mr. Lin, can be regarded as a funder, but he is not a family to carry it down, no company has such a crazy move as Dawn, a company resists the next movie, the producer is responsible for pulling funds, and it would be good if he could contribute 10%. ”

"If these big companies are produced, the theater chain will buy it, and it will be scheduled. But marginal connections are in the hands of brokerage companies, and according to the unspoken rules of Hollywood, artists and scripts without agents will not be read by large companies at all, and they will go directly into the trash. Therefore, brokerage companies have always been on an equal footing with the Big Six. Mr. Lin can also see the WMA as one of the giants. ”

However, the film can't get rid of the star, this is an iron law, and it can't get rid of the director and screenwriter. In a blockbuster film, the contract is as thick as a book, and the star's salary is the largest piece, and the producer must carefully select, the star, the director, and strictly prevent the newcomer from directing, otherwise, the producer's investment may be wasted. ”
