Chapter 242: Did the Sun Come Out of the West?

At present, in China, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, they have the mentality of looking up to Haolaiwu. Especially those Hollywood stars, it seems to be out of reach, like a nine-day fairy.

Where are those sand withering netizens decades later? Sister Model Worker? Big cousin? It's almost half an ass sister-in-law.

How intimate does that seem? Affection is like a family! Therefore, compared to the excitement of the eldest lady, Li Yuan is still relatively calm.

It's just that there is always a feeling of strangeness and alienation. But no one else is to blame. In the circle of Hollywood, suddenly broke into two unfamiliar oriental faces?

It's good that they're able to maintain that semblance of politeness. And at such a party, there will be no villain who suddenly jumps out, shouting what kind of yellow-skinned monkey, just counting on some rebirth to slap him in the face?

After all, Li Yuan and Huang Jiaojiao are still qualified to step into this door. Who knows what background they have? There aren't that many brains in this world.

Fortunately, with Xiao Xiangzhu today, at least there is someone who can speak. After wandering around, Li Yuan also lost a lot of freshness, so he and Huang Jiaojiao together, and the two of them came to the buffet table.

Since this is Los Angeles, the seafood here is still very good. Of course, the people who are able to party are basically not for food.

If you're looking for a belly pad, there's steak and pizza too. So the seafood was basically untouched.

The chef here is very creative, and the lobster salad is served in a half-whole lobster shell. Li Yuan took some lobster salad for Huang Jiaojiao, and he smiled and chatted: "Actually, domestic crayfish are also quite delicious." When you have time, I'll take you to eat once. ”

"Crayfish? What's that? Huang Jiaojiao asked curiously.

"Please! Are you from the big foodie province and don't even know about crayfish? ”

"Big foodie province? Li Yuan, are you begging for a beating? Are you scolding me for being a pig again? ”

"Huh. This really doesn't mean anything else. Aren't you Lao Guang? ”

"I'm not Lao Guang! I'm from Hong Kong! ”

"......" asked and found out that the eldest lady had really never eaten crayfish. And it is very rare in the Hong Kong market, and almost no one knows that there is such food.

Li Yuan suddenly recalled that crayfish, a mythical ingredient for future roadside stalls, is not popular at all now.

I miss the glorious years of the past, sitting at a roadside stall pouring beer, nibbling on phoenix feet, chewing cucumbers, eating crayfish, spicy tang and barbecue!

That is, in his own Yutouao Village, a bear child like Baozhu will catch and eat and play? And the boiled water is not delicious at all, and there is not much meat.

It is delicious or needs heavy oil and heavy spices. So take the eldest lady to eat crayfish? It's really possible that you won't find a place.

…… The two were talking and laughing, when suddenly someone behind them greeted them: "Ali Aduo!" Welcome, friends from the East. Hearing this sentence of Japanese that changed his tone, Li Yuan was completely speechless.

It's been a few days since I came to the United States.,How many times has this been mistaken for a book? Li Yuan turned around, and he saw a greasy Humpty Dumpty.

Humpty Dumpty handed over the business card with a warm smile and a fluttering eyebrow: "It's an honor to meet you." I'm Harvey, the owner of Miramax Films. I have a great film project here, I wonder if you're interested? Seeing this Humpty Dumpty foaming at the mouth, boasting about that movie project, Li Yuan became even more speechless - hey, dead fatty!

You know you even if you turn to ashes! You should be able to guess that this is the famous Jewish fat man Harvey. Weinstein.

This fat Jew is famous for two things: one is the Oscar-winning harvester. Later, he made a lot of noises on the Oscar stage, and he created a lot of miracles.

It even provoked public outrage in the end; The other is to sleep flat and come to the dock. Later, his sex scandal can be said to have affected most of the Hollywood circle.

What a model for all men...... Phew! Criticism! However, in all the rumors, including the later beauty and entertainment articles, this dead fat man is a resident villain!

But there is one thing to note: no matter how much criticism there is, Harvey. Weinstein's eye for filmmaking?

No one dared to question it. This is indeed a top filmmaker! So the dead fat man said

"Great film project", let's just count it on! But there is another point that needs to be paid more attention: according to rumors, in the business field, this ruthless lord doesn't know how many people have died?

Not to mention, there's also the Good Dock Rule, Harvey. Is Weinstein an old fox who has cultivated in Hollywood?

Just such an old fox, how much money is not enough for him to pit, huh? Li Yuan smiled slightly, and declined very implicitly: "I'm sorry, I'm from China." "If you want to pit, then go and pit those stupid pigs in the book!

"Wow! China? A mysterious and fascinating country. "Harvey. Weinstein didn't seem to hear what Li Yuan meant at all, he was obviously pretending to be stupid,

"I believe you Chinese. Only an ancient civilization like yours will understand the real art of film. Unlike those nouveau riche from the book, those little dwarfs are disgusting at first sight...... "Okay!

Master Kurosawa's coffin board couldn't be suppressed.

“…… We are expected to invest 8 million in this project and invite Hollywood first-line stars to star. In order to win European and Oscar awards. It is expected to earn more than $50 million at the box office. Quietly revealed to you, this project is quite sought-after outside, and there is only $3.5 million left in the share. Li, you and I hit it off at first sight, so I deliberately left this good project. What do you think? You can double the profit as soon as you change hands. Li Yuan almost didn't laugh.

It's this face, I miss the feeling of my last life. When I fooled investors at that time, it was the same way, right?

But when it comes to dividends, it must be a different face...... Right? Now that he had made a decision, Li Yuan wanted to end this conversation quickly.

I don't know this Jewish fat man well! But when Li Yuan just opened his mouth, before he could make a sound, he heard Harvey. Weinstein's words: "...... $350 is really not a lot, and compared to the huge fame that "Vulgar" brought you, there is also money that everyone loves...... "Lie back!"

Did you hear that right? "Vulgar"? Li Yuan couldn't help but glance at Huang Jiaojiao beside him, the little fragrant pig opened the lucky halo again, right?

The film "Vulgar" is so famous. The director is Quentin, a Hollywood monster. However, with his series of masterpieces, such as "Kill Bill", "Once Upon a Time in the Dock", etc., he was deservedly promoted to master.

They are all rare figures in the international film industry! "Vulgar" is director Quentin's famous work.

In Li Yuan's memory, it seems that he won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, and he has a high status in the film industry.

If there is a selection of 100 classics in film history, this "Vulgar" will definitely be shortlisted. What's even more terrifying is that "Vulgar" also entered the top ten of the North American box office year?

You know, this is an art film, to be more accurate, it is still an experimental film in an art film.

Under the encirclement and interception of a number of commercial blockbusters in Hollywood, can it still be in the top ten of the year? Therefore, this is an excellent film with an explosive reputation and a box office hit.

Just such an item? That fat Jewish guy will come to the door...... Is it possible?

Also according to rumors, Quentin also played with special flowers, and he and Harvey. Weinstein is a good friend, and the two are rumored to be brothers?

What's wrong with all of them, can the relationship be bad? All right! After a brief period of consternation, Li Yuan quickly calmed down his heart.

Even if "Vulgar" is so awesome, won't the dead fat man in front of him dig a pit?

"It's a pity. I...... I invest in film projects with only one principle - a fixed price! $2 million, I account for 25% of the investment. I'm going to get 10% of the North American box office and 4% of the overseas box office. Mr. Harvey, do you understand my principles? I'll only use the published box office numbers as a statistical base! The words of refusal have come to his lips, and Li Yuan is still reluctant, so he temporarily changed his statement.

No way, the film "Vulgar" is really too charming. The return on investment is also counted, and the rebirth has never cared about this.

But it's too high, it can be as tall as a dozen floors! Because film and television projects are full of blood pits, the financial traps in them can make people want to die.

In order to prevent all this, it is safest to simply use box office statistics. Of course, there are still pitfalls in this, but the pits will be much smaller.

Because of this, all the money that Li Yuan gave to those directors was box office sharing, which made Birch and Feifei see the sincerity of the metaverse.

Otherwise, what if there is a profit share? Do you see if others will bird you? It's all a fox on a mountain, are you singing "Liao Zhai" in front of me?

But then again, because of this, it is quite rare to agree to a box office share in the investment of film and television projects.

Otherwise, how can I dig a pit for you? Let's make the film and television company drink the northwest wind? Li Yuan put forward such a condition, he was actually mentally prepared, and this Jewish fat man would never agree.

Anyway, it's best to promise it, and don't agree to pull it down. At least I've tried. Sure enough, Harvey. Weinstein's face was full of grievances, and the fat all over his body was trembling: "How can there be a box office share?" Plum? There can't be such idiots, right? Li Yuan smiled: "Harvey, the idiot you are talking about is me." Let me introduce myself, we now have one of the top local film and television groups in Hong Kong, and the film and television projects we invest in give box office shares. If you don't believe me? You can ask for yourself. Oh! Let me introduce to you, this Miss Lisa next to me is the CEO of Metaverse Film and Television Group! ”

"Fack!" Harvey. Weinstein cursed. Unexpectedly, he did not leave,

"Li, since you are our own person, you should know that your conditions are too harsh. $8 million is the budget for the shooting, and there is follow-up publicity, and we also need funds for the awards. So be it! 5% of the North American box office? 1.5% of the overseas box office? Li Yuan almost didn't laugh.

This half of the counteroffer is put aside first, which is nothing more than a matter of bargaining. The key is that this Jewish fat man will actually agree to a box office share?

Completely without the legendary treacherous cunning? Is this the sun coming out of the west? In fact, Li Yuan didn't know that Harvey at this time. Weinstein couldn't do it at Hollywood.

Even his Miramax Film Company had just been acquired by Disney. This fat Jew did have some money, but not as much as it came to be; It's a bit of energy, but not that much yet.

Maybe this fat man really wants to be ruthless, but he still doesn't have enough confidence? And at this time, Quentin was even more nobody.

It's nothing more than just emerging in Hollywood, and it has a little prestige among cult film fans. Cult films, also known as cult films, refer to some kind of movies that are loved and respected by supporters in a small circle.

His shooting technique is unique, the subject matter is bizarre, the sword is biased, the style is abnormal, with a strong personal point of view, and it is controversial.

It is usually a low-budget production and is not market-driven. See? It's the author's film in a small circle.

That's the niche within the niche. So in the introduction just now, Harvey. Weinstein introduced

"Hollywood first-line star", but did not introduce the name of director Quentin. Because Quentin at this time is a nobody, and he can't fool investors at all?

In fact, Quentin is indeed amazingly talented, and Harvey. Weinstein did have a discerning eye, but it didn't work, did he?

Their fame was not as great as it was later. They have very little money of their own, and they can't even fool other investors?

$8 million for a cult film? Are you sick in the head? Even if this is Hollywood, how many investors with the vision of a Jewish dead fat man can be found?

So at today's party, Harvey. Weinstein is nothing more than a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he is casting a net to find other investors.

I didn't expect to find one now...... It doesn't matter where he comes from. As long as you are willing to invest money, you can say anything?

At this time, Li Yuan knew that he couldn't show too much anxiety: "Harvey, you wait first." Don't get busy talking about the split, I don't know what kind of movie this is? Do you have a script with you? Harvey's eyes lit up, he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy: "The script will definitely not be carried with me." But director Quentin is also there. Don't look at him very young, in fact, he is very talented. Don't be fooled by his appearance. After the vaccination, Harvey waved his hand, and immediately an American ruffian came out of the pile of women and swayed over.

Still with lipstick on your face that you don't know where to rub it? Regarding Quentin's virtue, Li Yuan did not have the slightest surprise.

Even his ruffian face couldn't be more familiar. How many famous directors in China are not like this?

That dignity...... Don't mention it. But that doesn't stop their amazing talent!
