Chapter 297: Honest and Reliable Xiao Langjun

"Hello! Mr. Knox, directed by Martin! ”

"Hello! Plum. I didn't expect you to be so young and promising. ”

"Huh. Overpraise. Let's find a place to have a drink first? ”

"Absolutely. We also want to know more about your mysterious ancient oriental country! ”

“……”

Knox, who accompanied Martin Scorsese, was Warner's representative.

As one of Hollywood's most influential film companies, Warner must have understood Li Yuan's background. The investment amount of a film is millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, and it is impossible to reach a cooperation intention casually.

As for the distribution of benefits, there will be agents and lawyers to deal with it later. However, the basic framework of the project still needs to be discussed by someone who can make a decision.

However, because they are not very familiar with each other, the topic starts with small talk:

"Li, I heard that your China is developing very fast? The film and television industry should be good, right? Knox said politely.

In fact, Warner is one of the Hollywood film companies that entered Chinese mainland relatively early, and later had joint venture film and television companies and theaters. It's Warner that they are more unlucky, they happened to encounter the cold winter period, and in those years, they didn't even know their mother, and finally fully launched Chinese mainland.

By the way, the partner of the later theater chain was Wanda. After Wanda bought back Warner's shares, it went public a few years later?

In fact, don't really say that there has been no chance in China. As mentioned before, Hong Kong Golden Harvest also approved the establishment of a cinema chain in the mainland that year.

is also not optimistic about the mainland market, and he has played himself to death.

Of course, here is nothing more than politeness.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "It's really good." We don't have a lot of film and TV content here. ”

Discover Knox and Martin. Scorsese glanced at each other in surprise, Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "The market is optimistic, but it is very difficult for overseas films to enter." Just like the rights I bought before, it would have been able to be broadcast on TV, and it will be closed after the end of this year. ”

Knox is certainly familiar with this routine. He smiled and asked, "Then there is no other way?" ”

"Does this need to look at commercial negotiations between China and the United States? I'm sure there will be a result soon, right? ”

Knox and Martin. Scorsese couldn't help but be happy. It's just small talk, Martin. Scorsese asked, "Can you see the Hollywood film in China?" ”

"Definitely seeing. Including you director Martin, the four famous directors of Hello Laiwu are also very famous in our country. ”

Knox became even more curious: "What about your box office?" ”

"It depends on whether it's short-term or long-term. In the short term, or because of the advent of the Internet, there will be free audio and video sharing resources. Hollywood and major record labels will also be affected. And copyright protection is worse elsewhere, maybe ......? ”

Seeing Li Yuan hinting with a smile, Knox nodded knowingly: "What are you talking about piracy?" ”

Discover Martin. Scorsese didn't seem to understand yet, and Knox introduced: "Lee is the boss of the parallels. Recently very popular Internet high-tech companies. ”

Martin. Scorsese nodded as if he didn't understand. No wonder. Since this is the boss of an Internet company, he must be boastful.

And Knox asked casually, "Lee, what about the long run?" ”

"Huh. How many years is this long-term? ”

"That's it...... Thirty years! Knox casually said a number, "It's just a random prediction, you can be a joke." ”

However, Li Yuan's expression became strange. He glanced at it, "It should be...... It should be similar to you guys, right? ”

Li Yuan has always been an honest and reliable gentleman, and by 0202, the domestic box office was indeed about the same as Haolaiwu, with more than 10 billion US dollars.

Knox and Martin can be heard answering this answer. Scorsese exclaimed in unison: "How much? So ...... your box office now? ”

"When converted into dollars, it's about two or three hundred million, right?" Li Yuan shrugged helplessly.

All three burst into laughter at the same time. Thirty or forty times in 30 years? Do you think it's a movie story?

Knox and Martin. Scorsese didn't put this at ease, they thought it was Li Yuan's patriotic joke. It's a patriotic joke.

For example, before every World Cup, there will always be a few sand withering fans, who are very tragic to run to the spinach company, just to bet on the national football team to win the World Cup!

Don't laugh! Don't look at the national football team, but some spinach companies have spinach agents that allow you to create a new spinach project by yourself.

It's like an insurance company, you can create a new insurance program yourself and let the actuary calculate how much the premium will be.

Of course, as long as it's spinach, anything is possible. Maybe before the World Cup, the whole blue star has become since ancient times?

All right! We don't have confidence in the group of grandsons of the national football team, we still believe in the People's Liberation Army Shu Huang. (laughs and cries)

But after the laughter, I found that the atmosphere was almost the same. So Knox took the lead in asking, "Lee, we at Warner are still very interested in your project for "The Departed". According to the accounting, the production budget of the project should be around 80 million US dollars. We can take out 20 million here, how much can you provide here? ”

Anyway, Warner and Martin. Scorsese has a lot of market appeal, and they can attract a lot of investment on their own.

Li Yuan's expression did not change: "Who is the actor going to find?" ”

"John. Traver. Hollywood A-list star? Knox said with a smile.

Li Yuan frowned slightly. Maybe later people are not very familiar with this Hollywood star, but they should have heard that he starred in "Broken Arrow" and "Changing Face", right? These are all works directed by John Woo.

John. Traver is actually a musical and dance film actor. In the past history, song and dance films are one of the most important genre films in Hollywood. But just like the original popular Westerns, song and dance films are slowly declining. John. Traver, of course, didn't fall well.

Li Yuan asked, "If I'm not mistaken, John. Traver should be starring in Quentin's "Vulgar", right? ”

Martin. Scorsese laughed: "The crew still needs a few months to prepare. Major John. Traver's acting skills are qualified and well-known, but his salary is not high. ”

Li Yuan seems to understand a little, he has seen it in the forum in his previous life, and there are still small circles in the dock. Like Martin. Scorsese and John. Traver, they're all mixed Italians. Including the later Little Plum, which also has a quarter of Italian ancestry.

The reason why I recommend this starring candidate is that they are fellow countrymen!
