"Forget it, I'm not interested in shopping or anything, I'll accompany you to meet Wen Ziren."

Lin Jia said directly to Zhou Yan: "This time, how do you want to cooperate with the people of Lionsgate?" ”

Wen Ziren is a famous horror film director, although Lionsgate successfully released "Chainsaw" Lin Jia in 04 Although she has not seen it in China, she is in Huayi, and she has already seen it through a business trip to a foreign film festival.

The ingenious conception and unbridled violence made Lin Jia dare not sleep alone for several nights after watching the film.

However, when she heard that director Wen Ziren only spent 5 days to conceive the whole movie, it took 18 days to shoot the whole film.

At that time, when the actors didn't even have a rehearsal, she became deeply interested in Hollywood's powerful industrial film shooting methods.

Later, if her family hadn't arranged for her to work in China, she might have come to Hollywood to have a good look at the process of filming this so-called industrialized film.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in an unknown café in Hollywood, Zhou Yan and Lin Jia finally waited for Wen Ziren's arrival.

"Hello, Director Wen, it's a pleasure for you to be here."

"You're good, Director Zhou, I've heard people from China Film talk about you, and your films are quite good."

After Zhou Yan shook hands with Wen Ziren, he complimented each other politely.

Lin Jia, who was sitting on the side, pursed her lips and disagreed.

Now Wen Ziren, although he has become the best director with a small and medium-sized budget with a "Chainsaw", but after he launched "Chainsaw", he has not made a new movie for two or three years.

Such a director may become famous and start a family in China, but in Hollywood, there are countless directors who become famous with just one movie.

Although, they can eat enough by relying on copyright alone.

However, how can a director with aspirations stop there?

Let's talk about Zhou Yan again.

Now Zhou Yan has only directed two movies in China.

Although, the money is earned.

However, as Wen Ziren just said, his reputation in China is at most a new director.

Like Zhang Yimou or Chen Shishi and Feng Pants, they have not yet reached the point.

Therefore, Lin Jia can conclude with all his heart that the two people in front of him are just polite there with a mask of hypocrisy.

Oh, man.

Lin Jia was a little contemptuous in her heart.

However, after the two of them sat down and chatted a few words, Zhou Yan took out the outline of "Falling" and handed it to Wen Ziren: "Director Wen, I have a film here, you know, there are some themes that Huaguo has no way to shoot." So, do you think you're interested, let's work together? ”

"Oh, Director Zhou's new work, then I must take a look at it first."

Wen Ziren is a Chinese-American.

Although it is said that the people on the side of Zhongying were entrusted by Zhou Yan to make an appointment with him.

However, for the new movie written by Huaguo, Wen Ziren is a little repulsed in his heart.

It has to do with the culture between the two countries.

Zhou Yan is a native of China, he Wen Ziren grew up in a beautiful country, and the congenital cultural conflict between the two countries is a conflict of cultures, how can Zhou Yan's script be suitable for filming in a beautiful country?

However, when Wen Ziren finished reading the outline of nearly 10,000 words, he was already stunned.

"Director Zhou, do you really plan to let me shoot this movie?"

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "If Director Wen is willing, of course I hope that Director Wen will shoot it." ”

In addition, Zhou Yan also took out a script and handed it to Wen Ziren and said: "Of course, if Director Wen is not satisfied with this "Falling", I still have a copy of "The Witch" here, you can also take a look." ”

"The Witch", an action movie based on the original book "The Witch" by Jiang Cao, a famous webtoon artist in the Peninsula Country, was released in China and the Peninsula Country at the same time in the second half of 16 years by NEw, an investment and distribution company in the Peninsula Country, in conjunction with Great Aim Media.

The original "Witch 1" was only released in 18 years.

Later, "The Witch 2" was only released in 22 years.

The two films together have earned nearly 700 million US dollars at the global box office.

It can be said that "The Witch 12" is another example of a very successful low-budget action movie.

Zhou Yan has always felt that the horror films on the peninsula country are really good films, not only the actors' acting skills are online, but more importantly, they dare to combine some hot actions with strong sound effects, giving the audience an extremely strong sense of visual impact.

Therefore, during this trip to Hollywood, he directly registered the copyrights of "Falling" and "The Witch 12".

As for "Avatar", he didn't pay much attention to it, but after registering the copyright, he waited for Cameron to come to the door.

When the time comes, it is estimated that the other party will be dazzled.

Hahaha.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth unconsciously raised.

I don't know what bad things this bad guy is thinking.

As soon as she saw the smile on the corner of Zhou Yan's mouth, Lin Jia muttered unconsciously in her heart.

Zeng Li and her had the same feeling when she first met Zhou Yan, that is, the man in front of him was definitely a scumbag.

However, during the period of time when he came to the beautiful country with him, Zhou Yan didn't have any excessive actions towards Lin Jia, not even some verbal teasing.

Lin Jia would not think that Zhou Yan's behavior was letting go of his desires.

This guy's rank is so high, it's obvious that he wants to get away with it.

Therefore, Lin Jia has always been vigilant on the way here.

However, this guy is really talented.

After seeing Wen Ziren, a new star of the dignified horror film, after watching "Falling", Lin Jia knew that Wen Ziren was not bragging for him.

This "Falling" is really good.

Now, looking at the "Witch" he watched there, Lin Jia couldn't help but think, what was the man in front of him thinking about all day long?

He looks obsessed, you don't need to look at it to know that he is extremely interested in himself, not only himself, but even his best friend, is that feeling.

However, judging by his behavior, it seems that this is not the case at all.

When he usually talks about movies and writes his new script, Lin Jia feels that the other party just has a desire for him from the bottom of his heart.

However, his words and deeds did not have those excessive actions at all.

Could it be that this guy wants to wait for himself to take the initiative to deliver it to the door?

Thinking of this, Lin Jia's vigilance towards Zhou Yan became a little higher.

Damn scumbag, I'm not going to let you get away with it.

Just when Lin Jia continued to raise Zhou Yan's danger level, Wen Ziren finished reading the outline of "The Witch" in his hand, and said directly to Zhou Yan: "Director Zhou, just say it, how much do you need to sell these two movies to me?" ”

"Director Wen, what do you think of these two movies?"

Zhou Yan asked with a smile.

He didn't want to talk to Wen Zijia about a one-time buyout at all.

Although "Falling" and "The Witch" are not suitable for filming and release in China, this does not mean that he can only sell the copyright to Lionsgate or even Wen Ziren.

Moreover, what he just noticed was that Wen Ziren was talking about what kind of price he wanted to sell to him, not to Lionsgate, which shows that he Wen Ziren is interested, thoughtful, and confident that he wants to make these two movies and release them successfully.

In this way, a fool will sell the rights of the two movies directly.

"Director Wen, my idea is to directly hand over these two films to you to direct, and when the time comes, I can find Lionsgate to help me distribute them."

Zhou Yan said: "The copyright of these two films must be in my hands, of course, if you are interested, you can set up a studio and invest in the name of the studio, and I can give you a certain share at that time, which is no problem." ”

"Yes, no problem at all."

Wen Ziren also knew that Zhou Yan would definitely not cooperate with him so easily in the form of copyright buyout of these two such good movies.

Therefore, after he tested Zhou Yan, he decisively chose to cooperate with Zhou Yan in the name of his studio.

The two agreed that Wen Ziren's director's studio would occupy 30% of the investment share of "Falling" with an amount of 1 million US dollars, and Zhou Yan would occupy 70% of the investment share with 2 million US dollars.

As for Lionsgate, Zhou Yan just planned to let Lionsgate participate in the distribution of the film.

As for the distribution fee, it should be calculated according to the normal distribution fee on the Hollywood side.

Zhou Yan wanted Wen Ziren to talk to Lionsgate about the distribution costs, but it was best to wait for the two films "Falling" and "The Witch" to be filmed, and it was too early to talk about it.

"Director Wen, I wish our two families a happy cooperation."

After the matter was negotiated, Zhou Yan stood up, and after shaking hands with Wen Ziren, Wen Ziren took the lead in leaving the café.

On the way back to the hotel with Lin Jia, Zhou Yan began to talk about the cooperation with Wen Ziren: "Sister Jia, this time with Wen Ziren, you have to have a snack, it is best that our company can find more post-production special effects talents in the near future."

When the time comes, I will arrange for them to come to the beautiful country. ”

"Are you going to let them follow Wen Ziren to study?"

Lin Jia asked curiously.

Zhou Yan nodded: "Hollywood's industrialization, after all, is currently the most advanced in the world, our shooting technology is still in the transition process between film shooting and digital cameras, and the future will definitely be the era of digital and special effects." ”

Zhou Yan has experienced the explosive power of those digital cameras and 3D blockbusters in later generations, if he does not reserve talents for himself at this time, then all his films in the future will find other people abroad or even at home to operate special effects.

In this way, not to mention how much it costs more, just because there is no one to operate this matter, it is actually very uneconomical.

Now that he has the opportunity to work with Lionsgate, of course, he has to send someone over to learn a lot.

"Okay, no problem."

After figuring out Zhou Yan's plan, Lin Jia immediately nodded: "I will find someone to dig people up immediately, and when Wen Ziren arranges it, I will immediately send someone over." ”

"Okay."

After listening to Lin Jia's words, Zhou Yan nodded.

The hotel for the two of them is very close to the café, and after returning to the hotel room, Zhou Yan closed the door directly and began to write the script of his next movie in the room.

This time, he plans to shoot "Detective Chinatown".

came out with two comedy movies in a row, and he felt that it was time to make Baoqiang, Huang Bo and Xiao Yang all popular.
