After listening to Jiang Ming's report, Zhang Mu is quite optimistic about the remake plan of Legendary Pictures.

After all, Anne Hathaway's experience is actually similar to Ye Lanqiu in "Searching".

It's all because of something that is not wrong, and they are subjected to unprovoked online violence.

That is, Anne Hathaway is not an ordinary family behind her, otherwise it is difficult to say what the final outcome will be.

But even so, after thinking about it, Zhang Mu decided to refuse the invitation of Legendary Pictures to direct, because he didn't want to repeat himself.

Just as Zhang Mu was about to ask Jiang Ming a few more words, he suddenly saw judge Fred Ruth walking towards him, so he greeted him curiously.

As a veteran Hollywood producer, Fred Ruth has been associated with many Hollywood stars. "Lost in Translation", which made Scarlett Johansson stand out, was produced by him.

Last year, under Scarlett's introduction, he and Fred met a few times at parties, and they barely nodded at each other.

After a few words of greeting, Fred couldn't help but complain:

"Charlotte was too gentle to control the jury, and this time the award was completely controlled by Amin Müller Starr. You know, he's very well connected in Germany. ”

Seeing him say this, Zhang Mu immediately chuckled and shook his head, but he didn't say anything.

Theoretically, the chairmen of the juries of the three major film festivals have great power, and once a decision is made, even the president of the festival cannot overturn it.

It's like when Wong Kar-wai was the president of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, he insisted on awarding 6 actors and 5 actresses, which made Gilles Jacob regret it.

However, when the chairman of the jury, who has a moderate personality, meets a judge with a strong personality and is full of means, he will often lose control of the jury.

Although this is rare, it is not uncommon in the history of the three major film festivals.

Then Zhang Mu heard Fred muttering:

"Originally, the Golden Bear was supposed to be yours, but unfortunately Charlotte didn't withstand the pressure.

At my insistence, we held six votes, but in the end Armin Müller succeeded. ”

"But I didn't make that guy too proud, and the actress he recommended also made me overthrow."

Speaking of this, I saw that Fred suddenly raised his eyebrows proudly at Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu immediately understood what he meant.

So he immediately raised his glass to him with a grateful face, and then drank it all.

It's all in plain sight!

After Fred left, remembering the inside information he had just revealed, Zhang Mu just smiled and didn't take it to heart anymore.

……

March 16th.

Under Yang Guang's crazy urging, the crew of "Search" finally got on the flight back to China.

It's not that Yang Guangpiao is gone, but since "Searching" won the grand prize at the Berlin Film Festival, the situation in China has been very good.

Although when the news came back, it was already early in the morning. But the major print media and printing houses still added a night shift and added the news.

Even the next day's CCTV news broadcast mentioned it. It's only seven or eight seconds, but it's already rare.

In the past few days, many people in charge of the cinema chain have taken the initiative to contact Yang Guang to inquire when "Search" is going to be launched, and even Han Sanpin has chatted with Yang Guang a few times, persuading him to urge Zhang Mu to come back quickly.

In such a situation, Yang Guang naturally wanted to put "Search" in theaters as soon as possible, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of such a good popularity!

Just when all kinds of media surrounded Wan Qian and others tightly, scrambling to be the first to interview.

Yang Guang carefully glanced at everyone, only to find out that he may have been released by his own boss again.

However, he still looked at Wan Qian with the last glimmer of hope and asked:

"What about Mr. Zhang? Didn't he say he would return home today? ”

Looking at Yang Guang's appearance, Wan Qian suddenly felt a little unbearable, but finally said:

"Director Zhang has temporarily flown to Hollywood, so he may have to come back later."

Hearing this, Yang Guang suddenly closed his eyes speechlessly.

O iniquity! How did he end up with such an unobtrusive boss!

When the surrounding reporters heard Wan Qian's words, they suddenly felt like they were beaten with chicken blood, and they asked the crew about what Zhang Mu was doing in Hollywood.

In order to avoid accidents caused by the reporter's emotional excitement, Wan Qian and others had no choice but to tell the truth, after all, this is not a secret.

Even if they don't say it, there should be news in Mi in two days.

"Legendary Pictures bought the adaptation rights of "Search", and Director Zhang went to Hollywood to direct at the invitation of Legendary Pictures this time, because no one knows this movie better than him!"

As soon as these words came out, the reporters at the exit suddenly boiled.

However, in order to avoid affecting the travel of others, under the escort of Makino Media security personnel and airport security, the crew still forcibly squeezed out.

It wasn't until he got into the nanny car that Yang Guang couldn't help but ask:

"What the hell is going on?"

Seeing him like this, Wan Qian, the little fairy and the others immediately told the matter in a few words.

It turned out that just after the end of the celebration banquet that night, after learning that Zhang Mu agreed to sell the North American remake rights, but was unwilling to continue directing, Tom, the director of Legendary Pictures, found Zhang Mu and sincerely invited him to participate in the project.

In his opinion, there is no one more suitable to direct this remake project than Zhang Mu.

After all, Zhang Mu is not only the original director and screenwriter of "Search", but also has proven his box office strength through "Super Body". The most important thing is that compared with those senior directors in Hollywood, Zhang Mu's price will definitely be cheaper.

It's just that no matter how he persuades him, Zhang Mu doesn't want to repeat it again and waste time.

So after Tom communicated with the company, Legendary Pictures decided to hire Zhang Mu as a special consultant for the "Search" project, responsible for providing certain casting advice and related consulting services.

As for the remuneration, the price of the remake of "Search" was rounded up, exactly $2 million.

Seeing that everything was said about this, Zhang Mu did not refuse again.

After all, he only needs to fly to the United States once, and then answer a few phone calls in China, and he can earn $250,000 in liedown, and he can't wait for more such good things.

Anyway, he doesn't like a lot of money.

Hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't bother with the matter of his boss letting him go, because he was blind no matter what he thought.

So after thinking for a moment, he decisively instructed the secretary beside him:

"Today's reporters will definitely not be lonely when they go back, and after they stir up the topic of the boss going to Hollywood, you will immediately release the news."

Speaking of this, I saw him laugh and say:

"2 million US dollars? I remember that the price of a remake of a Chinese film has never been so high! Hahaha~"

Yang Guang believes that as long as the news is released, no matter how hype they are, the media will naturally dig up the gimmick.

Then I didn't know what Wan Qian said to Yang Guang again, so when the nanny car arrived downstairs at Makino Media, a staff member of Muye saw Yang Guang hurriedly returning to the office with a happy face.

As for the actors in the crew of "Search", they naturally went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.
