Accompanied a group of people to walk around the Avenue of Stars and have a dinner, Hollywood Avenue is an out-and-out commercial street, with all kinds of gift shops and souvenir shops, even the calm Luo Weilun has run into a certain store several times and paid for a certain souvenir that attracts him, maybe an old record, or a signed poster worth collecting, even Luo Weilun, not to mention Chen Musheng, when he returned to the hotel, this guy's hands were already full of things he bought, most of them were signed videotapes and movie posters, Some of them are props that have appeared in the movie.

"Are you sure we came to the United States for the Spring Festival, and you all have to live with your assistant?" Huo Dongjun and the others all entered the elevator of the hotel, took a step back and whispered to Zhang Le.

He was as guarded as a jade during this time, and he didn't provoke other women, and finally came to the United States with the other party, but Zhang Le really wanted to live with Luo Ailing.

Zhang Le looked in a good mood, holding the photo of asking someone to help him take in front of Huang Liushuang's star, and said to Huo Dongjun: "I'm a little unwell, do you want to do it now? ”

"You said that on purpose, right? It's a little uncomfortable to be on the plane for too long?" Huo Dongjun reached out and pinched the other party's nose: "Okay, I'll go live by myself, lest I can't stand it in the middle of the night and crush you down." ”

Letting go of Zhang Le, Huo Dongjun went back to the guest room by himself, and called Luo Weilun and Chen Musheng into his room, just nine o'clock, Huo Dongjun still couldn't sleep, and just asked the other two people to talk to him.

"Jun Shao?" Luo Weilun knocked on the door and walked in, he is the director of the distribution department of Dongyi, and he is responsible for contacting the distribution of several films made by Dongyi, this time he came to the United States with Huo Dongjun, knowing that this Jun Shao wants to let himself get in touch with the independent distribution company in the United States, which makes Luo Weilun feel very lucky, because if there is a relationship with the United States, even if he no longer works in Dongyi one day, he can also rely on the distribution company he knows and knows in the United States. Add an experience to your resume that appeals to other studios, and not every director of distribution in Hong Kong has the opportunity to come to the United States.

Chen Musheng fiddled with a round-brimmed hat and followed behind Luo Weilun.

"Hey, it's just a hat, you don't need to walk without leaving your hand?" Seeing that Chen Musheng was still holding the hat he bought from a store on Hollywood Avenue, Huo Dongjun said loudly.

Chen Musheng put the black wide-brimmed hat on his head and said to Huo Dongjun and Luo Weilun, who were already sitting on the sofa: "I have seen terrifying scenes, and you have seen them. But you don't have the right to call me a murderer, you have the right to kill me."

"Are you a ghost?" Luo Weilun glared at Chen Musheng and asked puzzledly, "What does this sentence mean?"

"Apocalypse Now", Marlon Brando's classic lines come from the hat he wore in the movie" Chen Musheng said ostentatiously: "Through this hat, I can feel Marlon Brando's feelings when making movies." ”

"You might as well sniff a few more times, you may feel it, the smell of sweat may be more, maybe there will be mouse droppings hidden in the hat, the movie from more than ten years ago, besides, you are sure that this must be true?" Luo Weilun hit Chen Musheng.

"I'm jealous of me, because you're slow, and I'm the first to buy. Chen Musheng smiled and didn't care.

"I can't sleep so early, so I can't sleep so much that you two come over and talk about what you want to do in the United States this time, Aaron, let the hotel help hire a few translators tomorrow, and then you go and contact those distribution companies here, and see if "God of Gamblers" can attract each other, I mean the kind of distribution company that can make Dong see the profits, not a vampire who opens his mouth and takes all the profits. Huo Dongjun said to Luo Weilun on the sofa next to him.

"Okay, Jun Shao. Luo Weilun immediately stopped teasing Chen Musheng next to him, nodded to Huo Dongjun and said.

"God of Gamblers" has a very good response in the Southeast Asian market, and Luo Weilun is probably confident that he can earn more than 100 million with this movie, and this time he came to the United States, his main job is to find an opportunity to bring "God of Gamblers" to the United States for release.

As we all know, Golden Harvest invested in the Western films co-produced with American companies, almost all of which can collect more than 100 million profits, and a film in the United States will exceed 100 million, which also ensures Golden Harvest's hegemony in Hong Kong, which is a completely unimaginable figure for Hong Kong film companies in the early eighties.

However, Huo Dongjun and Luo Weilun are not optimistic about the release of "God of Gamblers" in the United States, without it, the audience is different, the movies made by Golden Harvest that year, "Cannonball Speed", are almost all starring Yankees, Cheng Long was reduced to a supporting role in the movie, and the roles in "God of Gamblers", Huo Dongjun and Luo Weilun believe that Yankees may have to watch it several times to distinguish which one is the God of Gamblers and which one is the villain.

"The distribution of "God of Gamblers" does not have to be done, because it is difficult, our focus is mainly to see if we can prepare a new film here, and this contact is also to facilitate the distribution of new films. Huo Dongjun was afraid that Luo Weilun would be under pressure because of his words, so he added.

"I know, get to know more about the distributors here and prepare for the western film of Dongyi. Luo Weilun told Huo Dongjun that he understood.

Huo Dongjun looked at Chen Musheng: "Ah Sheng, you have to translate the script, translate it into English, and then prepare a few more copies." ”

Chen Musheng looked at Huo Dongjun: "Won't it?"

"Of course, is it true that when filming, let a group of ghost guys look at Chinese?" Huo Dongjun said: "The translator will help you figure it out, and you will remind him of the use of some words next to him, so as not to let the Yankees understand the mistake." ”

"I know, by the way, Jun Shao, when are you going to meet those professional screenwriters you talked about?" asked Chen Musheng.

He can't wait for those American movie screenwriters, and he can't wait for Huo Dongjun to immediately conjure up a few movie screenwriters who are masterpieces in his mind and let him worship them.

"Those may have to wait a few days, but tomorrow I will go to a nearby law firm and hire a lawyer and ask him to give me some advice. ”

"Why do you ask the fifth brother to do it, the fifth brother has been here for many years, let him come over with a director, and then set up a stage to sing?" Although Chen Musheng knows a lot about American movies, he doesn't know the workflow of American movies, and he still thinks in Hong Kong, Zhang Wulang has lived in Hollywood for so long, he must have connections, just let a familiar director come out, and then build the whole crew.

"It doesn't work, the fifth brother has already persuaded me, telling me not to treat this place as Hong Kong, tomorrow I will ask the lawyer to see if I need to register a company in Hollywood to make a film, I may need a producer, and now I don't even know where to find the producer. Huo Dongjun said to Chen Musheng.

Filming movies in Hong Kong, there is a qiē if you have connections, Wang Kun and Huo Dongjun were born in martial arts, but they met Xiang Hua and Xiang Watson, and they were appreciated for their hard work in the crew, and they got an investment of three or five million, and then built the entire crew with their own connections to complete the shooting.

But here, after listening to Zhang Wulang's description, the insurance money alone costs more than one million, and it is not Hong Kong dollars, it is US dollars, what is the concept of US dollars, more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars are used to buy insurance for the crew, and many of these insurances are unnecessary in Huo Dongjun's opinion, such as political crisis insurance, if there is a serious political crisis in the United States or a large-scale political riot in Los Angeles that affects filming, the filming work will be affected. Then the insurance company will compensate for the loss of the crew caused by the riot or crisis.

Huo Dongjun was very curious about how much money those insurance companies made by this must-buy insurance.

No wonder Wu Siyuan was ambitious to announce the filming of Western films, but in the end he went to Hong Kong to complete the filming and only distributed it in the United States, I am afraid that these expenses in the early stage made him retreat, the investment of 1.5 million US dollars, the insurance payment of hundreds of thousands, Wu Siyuan did not want to kill the Hollywood producer when he returned to Hong Kong.

Huo Dongjun has no objection to buying some insurance for the crew, such as the actor's life insurance, this is normal, even Hong Kong has recently seen the rise of insurance business, but it is an individual purchase, and the crew will not take out the money. But is this kind of exaggerated insurance a bit of a fuss, it can be said that what Zhang Wulang said to him in the bar made him very shocked by the idea of making a movie in Hollywood, he came to circle the Yankees' money, not to use his own money to benefit the Yankees, no matter whether the movie can be released or not, whether it sells well or not, more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars have contributed to the life insurance of the American people and American taxes.

I'm afraid that anyone else will be depressed.

The next day, leaving Zhang Le and her assistant to take Xi Rong and Chen Baolian to continue shopping, Huo Dongjun asked the hotel to help hire a few translators and began to act according to the plan, Zhang Wulang also returned to the crew in Burbank, he is still working, and he can pick up the airport with Da Bo Tailai on purpose to ask for leave with the crew.

Hollywood has developed for many years, and almost all industries are operating around the core of movies, such as law firms, when they learned that Huo Dongjun wanted to prepare a movie and wanted lawyers to provide consulting services, the law firm immediately arranged for a lawyer to receive Huo Dongjun, this lawyer named Blake King is over forty years old, and his gray-blue eyes are deeply sunken in his eye sockets, making Huo Dongjun feel that this guy is more like a vampire in the Middle Ages, in fact, lawyers are indeed like vampires, and the fee for consulting services alone is as high as 120 US dollars per hour.

"Sir, can I understand that you now have a sum of money in your hand and want to make a movie here?" Blake King asked Huo Dongjun after listening to the translator's words.

Huo Dongjun nodded: "That's pretty much it." ”

"Ok, you are welcome at Hollywood, in fact, everyone who, like you, comes to invest with a lot of cash. Blake King saw Huo Dongjun nodding, lowered his head and flipped the text in his hand: "Mr. Translator, this sentence does not need to be translated to this gentleman." ”

Although there was no translation, Huo Dongjun understood this guy's words.
