Chapter 551: Relax, Relax [1/3]
The book continues from the above:
It is said that for a long time, in the mouth of the media, Gao Fei and Fan Bingbing always appeared in pairs.
At that time, almost whenever the topic of actors' self-reliance was mentioned, the media would take these two people as examples.
Therefore, although the two have not worked together seriously, there are many CP fans of Gao Fei and Fan Bingbing on the Internet.
It's a pity that with Gao Fei's development too fast, Fan Bingbing disappeared within a year or two.
This made the scandal between the two not stir up.
But to be honest, if it were Gao Fei before, he wouldn't mind having a dewy relationship with Fan Bingbing.
After all, this woman is indeed moist and charming, and she can be called the best bed!
But this time, that time.
Now that Fan Bingbing is involved in too many troubles, Gao Fei has lost interest.
So after making sure that Huayi couldn't get anything more valuable, Gao Fei left it behind.
……
"The Emperor of Chinese Cinema, Come to Hollywood!"
When Gao Fei hadn't gotten off the plane yet, he saw such news from the Internet media in the United States.
Seeing this, Gao Fei suddenly couldn't help but smile and said to a choppy blonde and blue-eyed Persian cat beside him:
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it? That's what you call a gift? ”
However, Selena shrugged innocently when she heard this.
"I'd like to admit it, but that's not really what we did."
As she spoke, the female executive glanced at Gao Fei with an ambiguous look in her eyes, and said with a smile:
"Gao, I think you should reacquaint yourself with yourself!"
"In Hollywood, you deserve that!"
It's just that Gao Fei shook his head indifferently when he heard this, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned and laughed at himself:
"What treatment? Monsters from Corsica? ”
As soon as these words came out, Selena couldn't help laughing, because she happened to be British!
However, after the fun, she heard the meaning of Gao Fei's words, so her eyes when she looked at Gao Fei suddenly flickered slightly.
Although what Gao Fei said is indeed true, the media in the United States today, like the newspapers in Paris back then, are all well-known Bichi.
But many outsiders often can't see through this layer of disguise, and think that they are the conscience of the United States and the conscience of the world!
Thinking of this, Serena couldn't help but have a little headache.
Because their original plan is actually similar to these, they are all ready to use these unpaid touts to coax Gao Fei.
But I didn't expect that Gao Fei was completely different from those Chinese immigrants, and he didn't yearn for the civilized world at all.
This is naturally troublesome.
Selena, a journalism graduate, knows all too well.
Once the elites of these other ethnic groups have no respect and yearning for the civilized world, then the so-called "recognition of the civilized world" may not even be as good as a piece of toilet paper in the eyes of these people.
Therefore, if they want to achieve their original purpose, they have to come up with something real.
Thinking of this, Selena had to send another email to the company temporarily.
……
In other words, the later stage of "Burst Drummer" was actually done as early as mid-November last year.
It's just that before Zhou Yi planned the follow-up publicity and distribution, Lionsgate came to the door.
Because this was contacted by the director himself, Gao Fei didn't pay attention to it at first.
But when Lionsgate surfaced its idea, Han Li became excited.
Because Lionsgate is ready to take "Burst Drummer" this year's award film.
This made Han Li immediately energetic when she heard this.
So after some communication, Lionsgate spent $25 million to buy the broadcast rights in North America and Europe.
And bear all the expenses in the process of "Burst Drummer".
Originally, Han Li only wanted to sell the rights in North America, but Lionsgate said nothing.
even said that if you only buy the copyright in North America, you can do it, but Zhou Yi must bear part of the cost of the prize.
Han Li gave up on this idea.
Because the accounting of PR expenses is the most difficult to explain in any country.
If Han Li dares to agree to this condition, then Zhou Yi's wave of white work can be regarded as Lionsgate Pictures has a conscience!
But that's the case, and it's a good deal.
After all, Goofy invested a total of $3 million in "Burst Drummer", plus a 19-day schedule.
With Lionsgate's generosity, the movie has already begun to make a profit before it is released.
You must know that since Chen Shiren's "Wu Ji", Chinese films have rarely sold such high copyrights abroad.
I have to say that in terms of opening up the overseas film market, Chen Shiren is really harmful and poisonous.
However, this money is not so easy to earn.
took the money from Lionsgate, and Goofy naturally had to cooperate with them to win the award.
Of course, you don't have to accompany you all the time, but some surface work always has to be done.
And this is also the reason why Gao Fei came to the United States this time.
……
After getting off the plane, to Goofy's surprise, there were many white people at the airport who knew him.
Although the strange tone of the voice is a little awkward to hear, it can still make people hear that it is Chinese.
So Goofy, who was in a good mood, immediately waved around casually and said hello, and then sat in the car.
"I didn't expect that there were still people in the United States who knew me, which is quite surprising!"
Gao Fei can be sure that the group of white people just now should be ordinary passers-by, not some paparazzi reporter or something.
In this way, it shows that his popularity is not limited to a specific circle.
Seeing Gao Fei say this, Selena couldn't help but pout:
"The people of the United States are like this, arrogant and realistic."
"They can't remember Chinese stars, but they remember billionaires, because wealth is more impressive than movies!"
"Besides, I just appeared on the cover of Time magazine not long ago, and they probably haven't forgotten it."
Hearing this, Gao Fei nodded knowingly, but then couldn't help but smile:
"That's how the people of the United States are? It's like you're not, are you scolding yourself? ”
“NO!”
I didn't want Selena to hear this, but she didn't care:
"Although I got the nationality of the United States, it was just for work, in my heart I am still British, and Britain is my motherland!"
Selena is not shy about talking about this topic.
Because many new immigrants from old Europe have the same thoughts as her, and there is nothing that cannot be said.
It's just that Gao Fei heard this, but suddenly smiled and sighed to Han Li on the side:
"Look, that's why I don't want to come to the United States."
"What is national will always be national, and it will not become the world in another hundred years."
"Instead of bothering to integrate into it, it's better to figure out your own things with your heart!"
As soon as these words came out, Han Li was immediately speechless.
In this regard, it is indeed a disagreement between her and Goofy.
But now is not the time to talk about this, because as soon as Goofy landed, many interview invitations and party invitations were sent to the door.
Han Li learned about it and found that it was related to last year's Xiong'an Guild incident.
After Goofy appeared on the North American cover of Time magazine, people on the Hollywood side dug up all his experience over the years.
So the people who came and went, except for some executives of the United States Film and Television Company, those men and women who were mixed in Hollywood naturally knew the news.
So, the rest of the matter is naturally a matter of course.
……
But having said that, the subsequent development still surprised Gao Fei.
The next day, when Gao Fei returned from attending the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards Ceremony, he couldn't help but complain as soon as he entered the door:
"Made, I'm numb with laughter from these foreign devils, what the hell are you doing?"
"Am I so popular in the United States? How did I not know? ”
Although Gao Fei doesn't know much about the culture of the United States.
But the phrase "courtesy to others, there must be something to seek" is applicable in any country!
Therefore, at today's award ceremony, the more polite and polite the group of foreigners behaved, the more vigilant Gao Fei was in his heart.
If it weren't for the Lionsgate contract, Goofy would have wanted to leave immediately.
Hearing this, Han Li, who was busy in the living room, finally raised her head.
So after a few words of advice to the assistant on the side, she immediately came over and chuckled:
"Boss, check it out, it's not a trap."
Hearing this, Gao Feidang, who was slumped on the sofa, sat up and looked at her with a serious face.
Han Li didn't sell it, but said with some tears and laughter:
"This matter has nothing to do with the boss, and it doesn't have much to do with our company, at least not the main relationship."
It is still affected by the general environment, and the development of the Chinese film market is getting better and better, which makes Zhou Yishun have face.
Especially last year, the box office of "Fast and Furious 7" in China was 2.4 billion, that is, a full 330 million US dollars.
This data is already about the same as the local box office of this film in North America.
This made many Hollywood stars suddenly realize the value of the Chinese film market.
In the past, although they also attached importance to it, they finally had the idea of playing two shots with or without dates.
Even if some people saw the potential of the Chinese film market, they didn't expect it to become a reality so soon.
So when the news of "Fast and Furious 7" met the Xiong'an Guild, Gao Fei became a walking Tang monk.
Because this group of Hollywood Vanity Fair regulars are coveting the huge Chinese market.
Some well-informed people even know about the existence of "The Wandering Earth".
For example, when Goofy attended the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards Ceremony in the afternoon, several handsome guys and beautiful women asked if there was a sequel to this film and whether there was a need for white actors!
With that posture, at first glance, I knew the story of Da Liu in advance.
So don't look at the media always ridiculing Hollywood stars for not learning and not knowing, but when it comes to making money, no dyslexia can stop their yearning for fame and fortune.
But then again, the news is a good thing for Goofy.
So as soon as Han Li's words fell, Gao Fei took out a business card from his arms with the corners of his mouth slightly curled and looked at it, and then immediately got up and left without saying anything.
Seeing this, Han Li suddenly patted her forehead helplessly.
She knew that once there was no fear, the boss would only be unscrupulous!
Thinking of this, Han Li regretted telling her boss this.
