As long as the other party can create enough benefits for himself, let alone China, even if it is the Sahara Desert, Ryan will personally meet and talk to him.

The next day, Ryan went to the location of the Jade Girl Spring in Hangzhou, where the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filming a fight and scenery scene, and he met Ang Lee, whom he hadn't seen since the film was established.

In fact, Ryan handed over the entire film to Ang Lee, and with the exception of a small number of Jenkins Films' supervisors and interns — such as those who are new to the industry — the crew was almost all recruited by Ang Lee and Xu Ligong, and was basically Chinese.

When Ryan arrived, the crew was still busy filming, which can be regarded as a Hollywood tradition, if there is no extremely important matter, even if God comes, he will not take the initiative to interrupt the ongoing filming.

In front of the camera lens, several actors are flying around with steel wires, and the poses are very beautiful.

"Wow, that's cool." Taylor took Ryan's hand and gradually opened her mouth, but she had been playing in the film company since she was a child, and she knew that she couldn't make too much movement now, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Ryan, are they filming science fiction films?" ”

"Honey, they're filming martial arts films." Ryan also lowered his voice, and it seems that after the movie is released, the vast majority of audiences and media in North America will treat it as a science fiction film.

"Martial arts?" Taylor clearly didn't understand.

"It's a kind of action movie."

As soon as Ryan's explanation was finished, Taylor seemed to remember something, "By the way, when I went to Sydney, I also saw Nicole flying around with a tightrope, but it wasn't so exaggerated. ”

She suddenly pointed behind the camera, where there was a guy covered in pimple flesh, "He was also on the set in Sydney at the time, is he an action director?" ”

I looked at the little one's hand. Ryan found out that the person was Yuan Heping, and immediately nodded.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the crew temporarily stopped filming, and Ang Lee walked over, "Mr. Jenkins." ”

"Just call me Ryan." Ryan shook his hand.

"Okay, Ryan."

After all, if you want to develop in Hollywood in the future, Ang Lee understands that it doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with Ryan, "Is it okay for us to go over there and talk?" ”

He gestured to the makeshift rest area next to him.

"Okay." Ryan nodded.

The temporary rest place of the crew was set up in a very good location, right on the edge of a green bamboo forest. Although it has entered the summer, the weather in Hangzhou is not particularly hot, and the Jade Girl Spring is a famous summer holy place, and the breeze blowing from time to time can always bring a little coolness.

"Ryan, can I go play on my own?" Where did Taylor have the patience to sit on a bamboo chair and listen to him and Ang Lee talk about work.

"No trick-or-treating."

Seeing Ryan nodding, the little guy shook his curly hair and left here, and the two bodyguards immediately followed.

"This is the best West Lake Longjing."

Under the gaze of several actors resting on the other side. Li Ang filled Ryan with tea, "Although it is different from the black tea we are used to drinking, it has a different flavor. ”

"Hmm...... It's really different. Ryan put down his teacup and got straight to the point. Li, I've already seen the samples and plans you sent, and I'll be honest. The production budget of 10 million dollars is enough for this film. ”

"Ryan, here you are. After seeing the scenery and Mr. Yuan's action design, I found that under the original theme, the picture can be more beautiful, and the action and fighting can also be more elegant. ”

It's just to make the film better, and Ang Lee understands that this is not enough, "If the North American box office of the film is not five times the production budget, I automatically give up the pay and dividends." ”

Ryan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ang Lee to be so courageous, but thinking about it, if he didn't have the courage, how could he dare to shoot "Brokeback Mountain" desperately after the fiasco of "Hulk" in his previous life.

How much is the investment in this movie in a past life? Ryan frowned, not impressed.

The films he can remember the production budget are a few of the few, most of them are super blockbusters that are overhyped, such as the "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and small-budget movies like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he only knows that the North American box office exceeded 100 million, and the global box office has reached 200 million US dollars.

"How much additional investment do I need?" That's what Ryan cares about.

"Six million dollars!"

Slowly holding the bamboo chair, Ryan thought for a moment and said, "I agree in principle, but it will take some time for Ms. Stewart to deliberate." ”

"Just get it in place before post-production starts." Ang Lee's spirits were greatly lifted, and with enough funds, he had the confidence to hit the Oscars.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was established when Ryan read the script, although there are some changes in small details, but the theme of the movie is the same as in the previous life, Ang Lee is a smart person, and it is impossible for a pure martial arts film to impress the North American audience and the Oscar judges.

Asian garments and American art are the right choices.

The film is also a co-production, and Jenkins Films has accepted a small part of Xu Ligong's investment, otherwise if it is simply produced by Jenkins Films, it is very likely that it will not pass the Oscar review for Best Foreign Language Film in the future.

Ang Lee went back to the camera for the movie, and after Ryan watched the meeting, he saw an acquaintance standing not far away and went over to say hello.

"Hi, Mr. Yuan, I didn't expect us to meet again." He said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Jenkins." Yuan Heping squeezed for a long time before revealing a smile.

Ryan doesn't mind, after all, it's normal to be hated by people for doing too much of digging at the foot of the wall.

After the crew began to rest again, Ryan found Taylor, and the little guy sat quietly in a chair, watching intently as the makeup artist took care of the headdress for a young actress, and his eyes blinking and blinking, seemed very interested.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Ryan sat down in the chair next to her.

"Learn Chinese hairstyles." Taylor tugged at his blonde curls, "Ryan, if I change to a hairstyle like this during the school anniversary, will it cause a sensation?" ”

"It's not for you." Ryan shook his head.

Blonde hair and blue eyes with a pure Chinese hairstyle, that's simply nondescript.

Taylor wrinkled his nose, stood up, and asked, "Are you done talking about your work?" ”

"Uh-huh~"

"Alright, let's go play."

The current weather is not suitable for going too far, Ryan and a few people, just took a turn near the Jade Girl Spring, these scenery is full of exotic scenery in the eyes of Taylor and George and others, but in his opinion, it is just ordinary.

"Legend has it that Su Dongpo ......"

In a small shop selling tourist souvenirs, Chen Jiazheng is explaining the origin of a souvenir to Ryan and Taylor, "Su Dongpo is a very famous poet in ancient China, he likes the spring water of the Jade Girl Spring very much, and sends people to fetch water every day, and is afraid that people will be lazy to drop the water, so he specially made a mark with bamboo and handed it to the monks in the temple as a certificate for taking water, which later generations called 'water transfer charm'." ”

"Is this it?" Taylor flipped through the bamboo tube in his hand, then returned it with a lack of interest, pointed to a piece of emerald green bamboo and asked, "What is that?" Can bamboo also be sold in stores? ”

"That's the bamboo flute, a traditional Chinese instrument."

Hearing Ryan talk about the instrument, Taylor's eyes immediately lit up, and he said to Chen Jiazheng, "Chen, can you let the boss take a look?" ”

The emerald green bamboo flute was quickly in her hand, and Taylor looked it up and down carefully, scratching the curly hair on his head, "Ryan, how do you play this?" ”

"I'll try."

Although the bamboo flute was used for the first time, Ryan had simply learned the flute when he was in London, and it didn't take much effort to blow a short section of the "Brandenburg Concerto".

"Pick it!"

In addition to the bamboo flute, Taylor also deliberately picked a few others, "Dad, Mom, Austin, Tomboy, Chubby, and Nicole......"

Then, she stopped Ryan, who wanted to pay, "I'll pay it myself!" ”

"You have money?" Ryan was curious.

Taylor wrinkled his nose and pulled out a small purse from the diagonal bag, which contained a few green bills.

"My praise for my pocket money." "It's a gift from a friend, and of course I have to use my money to buy it," she explained. ”

Fortunately, there are often foreigners here, and the owner does not refuse dollars.

"Ryan, it seems that your influence is not as great as I imagined."

While a few people were resting in a small pavilion, watching the tourists coming and going, Taylor sucked the juice hard and muttered, "It's been so long, and no one knows you." ”

Now after all, isn't it the future, Hollywood stars are far from being in the air, and Ryan is completely different from Jack? Dawson's look, his shoulder-length black hair and the large sunglasses on the bridge of his nose are the best camouflage.

"Relatively speaking, it's still a little more occlusive here." It was Chan Ka-cheng who spoke, "especially in the media and entertainment industry. ”

"You're about to join the WTO, and that's the challenge for the film industry?" Ryan remembered what he and other Hollywood companies were doing, "and certainly an opportunity for change." ”

"I heard that significant progress has been made in the negotiations." Chen Jiazheng nodded.

"Jenkins Pictures is going to speed up its development here."

Hearing Ryan's words, Chen Jiazheng was somewhat complicated, and he knew that his classmate and friend had been salivating over the market here.

Moreover, the commercial production produced by Jenkins Films is really excellent, and the introduction of such a film is definitely not something that the current domestic films can compete.

Joining the WTO is a huge opportunity, and in fact, Ryan and several of Hollywood's giants are joining forces to put pressure on the federal government to get more benefits for Hollywood in bilateral negotiations, especially in terms of the number of films imported and intellectual property protection.
