Luc? Besson, a famous French director, also serves as a producer, screenwriter, actor, editor, etc. Because of his repeated box office successes, he is known as the Spielberg of France. The work is fast-paced, luxurious in style, and has great commercial value. Some say that his films are actually American, but shot in France. Luc? Besson was considered the Spielberg of France, in fact, this title was not excessive, in France and even on the European continent, Luc? Besson was always the director who attracted the most attention. His films are fast-paced, stylish, and quirky, and almost every film has stirred up anticipation.

"Dear Yi, I have seen the work you brought, and we all like it very much!" Luc Besson speaks crisply and neatly, and he is very fond of his directing style, and he is not too muddy.

"Let's not talk about the different styles of these three dramas "Fahrenheit 911", "The Passion of the Christ" and "Zombie Bride", as well as literary and artistic components, in terms of commercial value alone, they have box office strength."

"Maybe you know, I have a film production company in France, and of course, the full distribution of the film in Europe, so I would love to be able to cooperate with Your Excellency's Dream Entertainment to distribute these three films, what do you think?"

Sure enough, it was a quick talk, it turned out that it was not a hero who cherished each other, but came to talk about business.

Although it is a pity that Luc Besson is not talking about art and movies with him, but about the very coppery money transaction, Yi Feiyang is still very happy, nonsense, winning awards and not being able to eat, good things are sold for a lot of money, this is the most important thing.

"Excuse me, Mr. Luc Besson. In fact, our Dream Entertainment company has always cooperated with other companies for its European distribution. Yi Feiyang did not immediately shake hands to celebrate the cooperation, as Luc Besson imagined, but suddenly said, "Therefore, I don't quite understand what kind of strength your company has......"

Exam, questioning my strength? Who am I? I am the Spielberg of France, the great Luc Besson!

Luc Besson, who is modest on the surface but very arrogant in his bones, was slightly stimulated by Yi Feiyang's self-esteem.

"Ha, it seems that Mr. Yi's understanding of me is not clear enough. Looks like I need to introduce myself. Luc Besson laughed. My company distributes almost all of the films I make myself, but also some of the biggest Hollywood directors like Martin Saxes and Peter Jackson. I can guarantee it in my own name. If you give me the video. I can help you get it fully released throughout Europe, and with my name alone, it can definitely be done! ”

Very confident guy! Yi Feiyang smiled secretly. "Oh yes, Mr. Luc Besson? Hehe, it looks like I have no reason to refuse, though...... ...... for the price."

Luc Besson smiled and showed his fox tail: "Helping you with full distribution in my name is itself helping your company advertise, therefore, you should understand dear Mr. Yi, I hope it can be lower!" ”

Damn, another bargain! Yi Feiyang scolded secretly, and then smiled: "I understand and can understand this, but I just want to say one thing......" Yi Feiyang stared at each other with fixed eyes, "Our dream movies have never been sold, and the box office has never been lost!" On the contrary, it has also helped many people to make a fortune! Therefore, many people chase after our butts waiting to pick up money, not us reaching out and begging for others! So, dear Mr. Luc Besson, it is a pity that we cannot cooperate! ”

Yi Feiyang's categorical cut made these European movie bigwigs stunned, and none of them would have imagined that Yi Feiyang would be so strong.

Yes, it's strong! Incomparably strong!

As the saying goes, how can people not bow their heads under the eaves, especially on other people's territory, most people are self-serving, but Yi Feiyang is an exception, he is still so arrogant.

"Alright, I guess it's time for our business to be over, and if it's okay, then we'll see you again." Yi Feiyang got up politely and prepared to leave.

At this time, Luc Besson slapped his face, "Please wait a minute, Yi, please forgive me for the faux pas just now, but, to be honest, I sincerely want to cooperate with you, yes, I am really honored to meet you, and it is an honor to negotiate copyright with you......"

"If you think that our cooperation needs to be based on equality, then well, we might as well sit down and talk again, after all, I would love to make you an American friend, and you would love to make a French friend like mine, right?"

Pick, don't tease your hooves, you really don't treat me as a dish! Now, let's start saying good things.

Next, Yi Feiyang sat down again and began to "bargain" with Luc Besson and others about the copyright of the three plays.

The people next to them saw that Yi Feiyang was talking so "hot" with Luc Besson and others, and couldn't help but sigh that China's Yi is too popular, look at how hot it is to fight with these European filmmakers.

Of course, Yi Feiyang didn't know that his association with Luc Besson and others made many people jealous, he only knew that Luc's bargaining skills were definitely no less than his filming skills, and he was also an outlier in the film industry, and there were very few people who could ask for money and shamelessness.

However, in the end, Yi Feiyang was a step ahead, with a copyright fee of 10 million per play, and a bonus after the take-out was released, and Luc Besson's company reached an agreement with the company, and the two sides officially cooperated. Afterwards, in order to make up for Lao Lu's injured soul, Yi Feiyang promised that if the box office of the three dramas in Europe exceeded 100 million, he would give Lao Lu a big red envelope in his private name.

Since everyone is a filmmaker and a director, after talking about business, of course, we must also talk about art. That's the right time.

Luc Besson recently watched the exhibition trailer of Yi Feiyang's new film "Iron Man", so he commented on this play: "The technique you use in your work is very novel......

Yi Feiyang certainly knew what this meant.

In fact, like Luc Besson, Yi Feiyang tried to add some art-film elements to his commercial films. The difference is that Luc Besson transitioned from art to commercial. Yi Feiyang is just the opposite, transitioning from commercial films to art films.

Especially in this "Iron Man", it was fine when it started filming, Yi Feiyang wholeheartedly made it a Hollywood-style commercial blockbuster, but with the continuous improvement of Downey's acting skills, and the continuous competition of Cage, Depp, and even Gyllenhaal and others, the whole film became an acting arena, which made the style of the whole play change 180 degrees.

Oh my God. At that time, even Yi Feiyang himself didn't know if it was good or bad.

However, Yi Feiyang was forced out of his potential by the acting skills of these guys. Or inspiration, I've seen a lot of artistic shots flash in commercial movies before.

Unceremoniously, Yi Feiyang "took it" and repackaged "Iron Man".

So it can be said. Yi Feiyang originally wanted to create the same version of "Iron Man" as in his previous life. In the end, it turned out to be a completely new version. Or rather, freaks.

Where is the specific monster of this play, that is, almost every character is vivid, even if there are few lines. is even able to act with his eyes and body language. In order to highlight these, Yi Feiyang will take the initiative to give some close-ups of those dragon actors to expand these elements. You must know that generally for movies, only the male and female protagonists are the key, and close-ups are generally only applied to them.

But Yi Feiyang broke this confinement, or inertia, and created a new shooting method.

Of course, this new type of shooting technique also has a big weakness, that is, it is easy to "distinguish between primary and secondary", and even the tricks have close-ups, what if these tricks and supporting roles "steal the show"? Therefore, this technique has high requirements for the acting skills of the leading actors, and the acting skills must overshadow those supporting roles.

As old directors and filmmakers, Luc Besson and others saw the difference of this play at a glance, on the one hand, they appreciated and appreciated the flexible and smooth directorial technique; On the one hand, it is very puzzling, and it is incomprehensible that Yi Feiyang is bold and innovative.

That's why Luc Besson became interested in Yi Feiyang, and that's why they admired this film. It's hard for them to imagine that anyone can shoot such a commercial sci-fi blockbuster with artistic ingredients. I know that Hollywood directors' science fiction films are generally commercially packaged, and there is no artistic value to study, except for big directors like Spielberg, who can use science fiction to promote their own "Renaissance", but Yi Feiyang has also done it, but he is so young......

Yi Feiyang, as a "person who has come over", can continue to try and innovate in movies, which is certainly not a strange thing. In addition to learning this unparalleled advantage, he will also strangle the shortcomings that come at the same time as the advantages in the key link of the script, which is his cleverness, since he can't copy the original, then adapt the script of the previous life, and adapt it more suitable for his own routine, so as to use it for his own use.

After talking to Luc Besson for a while, seeing that Hathaway was lonely and couldn't understand, he ended the conversation as soon as possible. Soon found Dures, and when he saw Yi Feiyang, he shouted happily: "Yi, you are finally here, God, if you don't show up again, I guess I will go to meet God and his old man!" ”

Looking at the rare humor of this guy who has always been cold-faced, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm out to talk about business, I've already negotiated with Luc Besson and others just now, and several of our plays will be released to them."

"Luc Besson? Is that the philistine Frenchman? "It seems that Dures has a lot of prejudice against Lao Lu." You know, Yi, in fact, Luc Besson's company has a deep relationship with Warner America, and Warner's films are generally distributed to them, and in turn, Luc Besson's films are handed over to Warner for distribution in the United States. ”

"I know that." Yi Feiyang smiled, if he didn't know this, how could he fight with others. "But in business, regardless of whether the French company and Warner wear the same pants or not, what we have to do now is to package our films and enter Europe, instead of diverting them to different theaters in Europe with a very lossy sharing contract, as was the case before...... Mark my words, man, don't do it, or do it big! ”

"Maybe I see what you mean." Dures shrugged, "Your ambition used to surprise me, but now, I can face it calmly. ”

……

Just when Yi Feiyang and Dures were talking cordially, a very discordant voice suddenly appeared.

"Haha. What a coincidence, China Yi, to be able to meet you here! As he spoke, he saw a guy with triangular eyes walking over, smiling, looking very kind, but Yi Feiyang and the others hated it.

This person is none other than Abbas, president of the North American Film Association and acting president of Colombia!

Abbas's appearance made Yi Feiyang stunned, and Abbas seemed to enjoy the "shocking" effect of his sudden appearance. Laughing again. Said: "Yi, isn't it strange, why did I suddenly appear here?" If I tell you, I'm here to congratulate you. Do you believe it? Ha ha. Of course you won't believe it! Actually, I'm not here to congratulate you. Dude ......"

"Well, how can I say it, you guys are really smart. Know how to use opportunities like Cannes to promote your Iron Man...... God, I was almost a step too late! Luckily, I made it to the time, and our Spider-Man had great hype! Cannes is such a nice place......"

Dures's face sank, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Yi Feiyang.

"Hehe, I'm glad you're here too, Mr. Abbas. I really wanted to say hello to you, after all, "Spider-Man" is a very good movie, and I don't want to be able to win you so easily! ”

"What? God, I heard you right, what did you say? You easily beat me? Haha, man, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, yes, let's go back to Hollywood for a showdown if you have the ability! Well, my Spider-Man is going to beat you all over the place! Abbas grimaced, then sneered.

Looking at his back, Dures: "I really want to flatten this bastard!" ”

"Even an honest person like you wants to flatten him, which shows how cheap he is!" Yi Feiyang said with a smile.

"So what do we do now?"

"What to do, wait for Hollywood to give him a hard shot!"

"Back to Hollywood ......"

……

With the end of filming at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Yi Feiyang and his group flew back to the United States from France in a hurry.

When I arrived in Los Angeles, I was greeted by reporters waiting at the airport to ask questions about the trip to Cannes.

Yi Feiyang answered fluently and almost met the requirements of all reporters, of course, for some more acute or embarrassing questions, Yi Feiyang also politely refused, compared with his previous strength, it was much milder.

Of course, in addition to Yi Feiyang, people like Dures, as well as Mel Gibson, Robert Downey Jr., and others are also the targets of these reporters' interviews and questions.

However, to the surprise of these reporters, these guys rarely talk about their problems in unison, mainly focusing on Yi Feiyang's new play "Iron Man".

"Please support director Yi Feiyang's new play, this play is very cool!"

"Iron Man" is definitely the most popular blockbuster this summer, you will regret not watching it!"

"Book your tickets early, or you won't be able to buy them!"

……

No one would have imagined that the originally lively airport interview would instantly turn into the promotion of Yi Feiyang's new drama, but this kind of star bombing effect is obvious, at least "Iron Man" has not been officially released, and it has been hyped.

After returning to Dream Entertainment, Yi Feiyang held a collective meeting and began to prepare for the premiere of his new play. At the same time, the post-promotion of "Iron Man" has also entered the late stage of intensive development.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

……

As the time quietly came to July, the seven giants of the film industry also seemed to be brewing something, July 1, 2002, Hollywood, although it has entered the prelude to the summer vacation, but strangely, there is no eye-catching blockbuster on the file.

In addition to "Cat and Mouse Game", which ranks ninth and has been standing at the weekly box office for nearly 3 months, it is considered a top movie, the 20th Century Fox comedy "Seduct My Little Mom", Disney's "Cinderella 2", and Lionsgate's "Doomsday Horror", which are at the top of the box office list, have only won 20 million to 40 million single-week box office results, which can be said to be no bright spots.

And everyone's most anticipated fantasy blockbuster "Harry Potter 2" produced by Warner Bros. this year, the animated epic blockbuster "Ice Age" produced by Disney, and the finale action drama "Spy" produced by Fox Company, these movies that should have been released have all been strangely postponed to the Christmas file......

The media has remained silent about this, but people in the industry know that the summer vacation schedule is about to usher in a bloody storm, and all this is caused by Colombia's "Spider-Man" vs. fantasy entertainment "Iron Man".

Yes, in front of these two super blockbusters, there is no need to be caught in the middle as a third party, just see how they fight and lose both, and then the big guy will show off his power in the Christmas file.

"Iron Man" -

The most critical film for the rise of Hollywood's eighth major force, the film tyrant Yi Feiyang's painstaking work, the first step from a big director to a super director, if it can succeed, then Dream Entertainment will join hands with the Marvel Comics Hero series to officially become one of the top forces in Hollywood, but if it fails, then Dream Entertainment may be beaten back to its original shape and become a medium-sized company that cannot shoot super blockbusters again...... One step to heaven, one step to hell.

No one would have imagined that the six major Hollywood film companies would be so generous and give up a very rare summer vacation slot, just to watch a unique battle of the dragon.

Are they stupid? No!

Is it stupid? No!

On the contrary, as one of the six major Hollywood companies, they are full of "xenophobia" emotions in their hearts about Colombia, which is controlled by Japan's Sony, and fantasy entertainment, which is controlled by the newly rising Chinese.

Yes, I don't know how much of a shock it caused in the United States, and many Americans were indignant and even organized a demonstration game to "drive out" the Japanese who were in charge of the American film company.

For this reason, Japan's Sony had to bleed, secretly bribed American politicians, and then through behind-the-scenes operations, it was still the Americans who were in charge of Colombia to calm the anger.

Today, Yi Feiyang's rise is more ruthless than these Japanese, and if the Japanese still know how to manipulate Colombia behind the ass of the Yankees, then Dream Entertainment is directly a large company controlled by the Chinese.

The threat of fantasy entertainment is even more serious than that of Sony-Columbia.

Warner understands this, Disney understands this, and Fox, who has a "very good" relationship with Dream, understands this. Therefore, it is rare for them to take concerted action to create a summer massacre in which the Japanese and the Chinese compete with each other.

Who is the big winner in this summer vacation war?

Colombia? No!

Fantasy entertainment? No!

The real big winners are the big six Hollywood companies that are hiding from the sidelines and watching the battle of the dragons.

The Chinese saying is very good, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit!

That's it! (To be continued......)
