"Cheng, Hollywood is not so easy to mix, and it is not easier for outsiders to enter their circle than it is for you to pass the FDA review." Mark persuaded, but when he thought of Shen Long's previous understanding of the United States, he couldn't help but ask, "What is the story?" ”

"In the 90s, the American media reported a patient named Ron Woodruff, who was diagnosed with advanced AIDS in the 80s and had only 30 days left to live, so Ron Woodruff began to fight against fate, the only AIDS treatment drug approved by the FDA did not have any effect on him, Ron Woodruff had to look for various drugs that were not approved by the FDA all over the world, and formed an organization called the Dallas Buyers Club to help patients who were suffering the same as him." This is still the inspiration that the patient with the same name as Ron brought to Shen Long.

"Ron Woodruff researched all kinds of anti-AIDS drugs and alternative therapies that were not approved by the authorities, and even illegally smuggled all kinds of anti-AIDS drugs from all over the world, and lived until 92 years, from the time he was diagnosed with only 30 days to die, he lived for a total of 7 years, and during these 2,557 days, he continued to fight the disease, the FDA and the drug manufacturers very hard."

"The story was a big hit at the time, and a lot of people in Hollywood were going to bring it to the big screen, and in the mid-90s, Dennis Hope was going to bring the story to the screen, and Woody Harrelson played Wooddown, but no one invested in him."

"And now, I've heard that Brad Pitt and director Mark Foster were also planning to make this film; Another interested pair is Ryan Gosling and director Craig Gillespe, all they lack is investment, and the film doesn't require any special effects and won't cost much, and is expected to take it for less than $10 million. ”

"This kind of film is very suitable for the Oscars, and once it wins, it will set off a huge public repercussion, and combined with what you just said, it will be difficult for the FDA to prevent us from entering the US market." Shen Long said a lot of things.

"No, it's not just a few million dollars, you have to pay another PR fee to win an Oscar; It's a good idea, though, and maybe I can talk to Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, and them. Mark was moved, "But you can't come directly in terms of funding, it's the same as organizing a protest, you can't let the FDA think you're behind it." ”

"Of course, I provide the funds, but it will be someone else." Shen Long had already thought of a plan, "As for Hollywood's public relations expenses, they can be taken out of the box office, I don't pursue box office profits, so I can even give the main actors a share of the box office to reduce the salary expenses." ”

Anyway, the film will not be a box office hit, and the total box office of "Dallas Buyers Club" is only about 30 million, and there is not much left after excluding the distribution costs, in comparison, drug sales are the majority.

Hollywood's public relations plan is also not a problem, Shen Long has helped Johnny Fang Tan and Audrey Hepburn win many awards back then, and he is also familiar with the doorways inside.

"I want to think about it, negotiate with them, find the right partner, then write the script, interview the actors, assemble the crew, then shoot, post-production, publicity, release...... It's going to take a long time, and I don't know if we'll be able to catch up with it. Mark pondered.

"The most critical issue is the script, but I have the script ready, and it is not difficult to win the adaptation rights of the story." Shen Long took out the script from the file bag and handed it to Mark, before entering this world, he had also watched the movie "Dallas Buyers Club" and downloaded the original English script, which just came in handy.

Mark occasionally does some public relations business related to Hollywood, and is no stranger to movies, after carefully studying the script, he raised his head in surprise, "Cheng, this is definitely a good script, Ron and Wren are very good in the scenes, if the actor's acting skills are passing, there is a great hope of getting a little golden man." ”

"So I'm more inclined to Ryan Gosling, who has good acting skills, and the Oscar judges are too biased against icons like Brad Pitt." "Of course, Ryan is a little too young now, and if you want to win an award, I think it's better to find Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto." ”

The two actors of the official film, the two of them won the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor together.

"Jared Leto did a great job in Fight Club, and he's tried women's clothing before, so it's a good fit for the role; Matthew McConaughey's acting skills are equally superb. Mark admired his choice, "Cheng, even if you don't develop in the pharmaceutical industry, you can definitely make a career in Hollywood!" ”

"If that's the case, you'll only have to eat Glenin for now." Shen Long made a joke.

"Haha, you're right! Then I went to find someone to win the adaptation rights, and then found a screenwriter to name the script and register it with the Screenwriters Association; Cheng, you wouldn't mind, would you? This is a script that is eligible for an Oscar nomination! Mark also responded with a joke.

"Get ready as soon as possible, I'm ready for funding!" It was quite easy for Shen Long to get some extra money, and he didn't need to use his funds in the country at all, so it wouldn't arouse the suspicion of anyone with a heart.

"No problem, ha, it's a big project this time!" The public relations of the FDA, the public relations of Oscar, can not only bring him a good income, but also expand his prestige, and the most important thing is to strengthen the friendship with this amazing doctor, and his life and wealth are bright.

"I'll return to China after attending a few academic conferences, so I'll leave this matter to you!" Shen Long ended the meeting and rushed to Hopkins University, Harvard Medical School and other places to give lecture tours, and by the way, he talked with those academic authorities, and many of them agreed to write articles immediately.

Then Shen Long returned to China, while busy with the domestic review of applications, while paying attention to the things here, the country is now a green light for this medicine, this matter has attracted the attention of the high-level, no blind dare to accept Nova company's money to create obstacles for Shen Long, even if the high-level status of some pharmaceutical companies is special.

Everything is going well in China, and the United States is also moving quickly, just when China entered the phase II clinical trial, Mark told Shen Long that he had found a suitable team and the film could start shooting!
