One sunny afternoon after the turn of the millennium.

Steve. Colt sipped his coffee and looked at the dazzling array of trophies in the window.

Perhaps tired of his boring directorial career, he silently made a decision.

He's going on a long vacation.

There is no time limit or location, and I have left behind the cumbersome phone calls, parties, mobile phones, and pagers, and traveled around the world alone with my bags on my back that day.

No one thought that this would ......

That's seven years!

In the past seven years, he has traveled to countless scenic spots around the world, learned many foreign languages, encountered many dangers, and was once shocked by the steepness of nature's strange peaks!

Seven years later......

He returned to Hollywood.

So low-key that no one except a few old friends knew he was back.

No one knows what he and his old friends were talking about that night......

Some people said that they talked about the embarrassing years when they filmed "Jaws" together, and also talked about how high-spirited they were when "Jaws" caused a sensation all over the world......

In a word.

Summer 2007.

In an inconspicuous corner of Hollywood, a company called [Pixar Pictures] was quietly established.

And then......

July '08!

An animation called "Monster Bride" was born, which swept more than 70 countries around the world and swiped an astonishing $500 million at the box office......

Only then did people realize that the former "King of Hollywood Horror Films" Steve. Colt is back!

But this time it's not the same horror film as before, Steve. Colt is not a director either......

But......

Behind the scenes!

The huge success of "Monster Bride" made fifty-year-old Steve Brown. Colt and his friends inevitably became ambitious.

once threatened in public to make [Pixar Pictures] a new highlight in Hollywood after the eight major films.

Steve. Colt is ambivalent.

Count as a faithful believer in Christ.

Every night he prayed, religiously followed all the rules, and even recited the Bible.

But......

When he is angry, he will also curse God.

After the scolding, he would continue to pray sincerely, begging God to forgive him for his rudeness.

It's a very uncomfortable thing to chat with Zhang Sheng, a Chinese person......

His eyes are very vicious, and with very simple words, he can analyze the pros and cons of the incident. Colt's heart.

"Huaxia is a huge and prosperous market!"

"The future Chinese consumer market will only be more crazy than the United States......"

"We are actually a common interest, I am eager for the movies I have filmed, every one of them can be released normally in Hollywood, but the eight major Hollywood film companies are high, we used to talk about cooperation, we need to sacrifice more things, Steve, you are the same, you are eager to get the Chinese market, and you are even more eager for every movie of [Pixar Pictures] to be a big seller, and the films exported by Huaxia over the years, except for our "Seven Days of Killing", almost none of them are big hits, of course, "Seven Days of Killing" Maybe it was just an accident, but the second film "My Sassy Girlfriend Sadako" has already had countless filmmakers come to negotiate contracts before it was officially released......"

"Being young is my greatest strength, but my advantage is not only being young ......"

“……”

in the hotel.

Sunlight shone in through the window.

Steve. Colt looked at the young Chinese man who was talking eloquently.

Deep down, I can't help but admire.

This young man is step-by-step, fearless, yet ambitious, and has no hidden ambitions for the future!

Vaguely, he seemed to see the shadow of himself in him.

Steve. Colt was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Do you want to become our [Pixar Pictures] Huaxia's first official cooperation company?" ”

The young man opposite pushed his glasses and smiled even brighter: "You [Pixar Pictures] will also become our first Hollywood company such as [NC Entertainment] and [Southern California International Film Awards]!" ”

Steve. Colt laughed.

When he met Zhang Sheng, he had already investigated Zhang Sheng's every entrepreneurial experience from entrepreneurship to the present.

He was willing to come to see Zhang Sheng, not all because of the commercial value of "Seven Days of Killing", or because of his old friend Avery. Tashi's Invitation......

But......

Seek new possibilities!

…………………………

If it weren't for "My Sassy Girlfriend Sadako", then probably the screening of "Afterlife" would not have been so miserable.

They are both love themes, both are mainly delicate, the only difference is one is reality, the other is magic......

Probably......

Right?

Who knows, there are no ifs in this world.

[Southern California Film Trade District].

The noon sun was exceptionally warm, Ke Zhanyi stayed in the booth, and Jiang Rong, an assistant director, producer and screenwriter, desperately promoted the copyright of "Afterlife".

The copyright of "Afterlife" sold quite well.

From morning to noon, the copyrights of six countries and regions were sold.

But......

It seems to sell quite a lot, but most of them are buyouts for small countries, and the prices are extremely cheap, with the highest being 1 million yuan and the lowest being 500,000 yuan, adding up to more than 4 million yuan......

"Let's not say how much we sell, we want to say how many countries we sell...... After returning to China, we publicized the number of films, how much attention those film companies attach to our films internationally, and then asked the theater chain to give us more films......"

At noon, a group of reporters came.

The reporter looked at the grand situation of the copyright transaction in the [Southern California Film Trade Zone] and began to interview the production leaders of the participating films one by one.

When Jiang Rong finished the interview, she was very excited, chattering endlessly to Ke Zhanyi and planning the future!

Although it was a cheap sale, I don't know if Jiang Rong's excitement infected him, or if it was the smooth copyright transaction, Ke Zhanyi's gloomy mood in his heart was a lot less.

This mood lasted into the afternoon.

In the afternoon......

Ke Zhanyi walked out of the gate of the [Southern California Film Trade Area] and subconsciously glanced at the big screen.

He stared blankly at the big screen, where countless competing films were shaking......

[Real-time reporting of copyright transactions] is ongoing.

[Russian director Mikhalkov's representative work "Purple Sun" has been sold in Panama, South Africa, and Brazil...... Regional Copyright! 】

[The newcomer's new movie "My Sassy Girlfriend Sadako" sells ten more regional copyrights today! ] 】

[Director Bi Feiyu's new work "The Prisoner" reached a distribution agreement with Hollywood's [Pixar Pictures] today! ] 】

[Gao Hui, the sixth-generation director of China, officially signed an agreement with Hollywood's [Pixar Films] buyout issuing bank! ] 】

【……】

Ke Zhanyi saw that the names of the movies were scrolling in reincarnation.

Seem......

It's not just his "Afterlife", it seems that almost every movie in the exhibition has more or less sold the film rights!

For a moment, looking at the countless noisy producers, studios, and reporters, he couldn't tell which ones were real and what were false......

This moment!

He felt deaf in his ears, and then he felt his skull buzzing.

Even more noisy, even sensational and screaming sounded beside him, and he subconsciously turned his head.

But I saw it in the distance......

He saw Gao Hui, who is also [Shengshi Entertainment], taking his "Spy War" excitedly with a foreign old man to take a photo under the screen of the [Southern California Film Trade Area]!

That old man, Ke Zhanyi is unusually familiar......

When he thought of who this old man was, his whole body trembled, and finally his eyes widened!

His name is ......

Steve. Colt!

Once the king of Hollywood horror films, a monument to Avatar director McAskie.

Although he disappeared for many years, his sudden appearance was like a thunderbolt, blowing up the entire [Southern California Film Trading Area] market almost sensational!

Countless people are surging towards them!

…………………………

Chinese.

Night!

【Shengshi Entertainment】

When Gao Jianliang, the deputy leader of the production review of [Shengshi Entertainment], excitedly pushed open Gao Yuan's door and told Gao Yuan that his son, Gao Yuan's nephew's new movie "Spy War", had sold the copyright to Hollywood, Gao Yuan, a director of the fifth generation of Huaxia, stood up from the sofa in disbelief.

At one point, he thought it was fake news!

But......

Gao Jianliang took out the platform and posted his son and Steve. When Colt took a group photo, Gao Yuan's eyes widened.

Thunderous emotions surged in his heart.

He took a deep breath: "Is it P's?" ”

"It's not P, Gao Yuan has already faxed the contract! This is the contract ......" Gao Jianliang couldn't hide his excitement, and handed the contract to Gao Yuan as soon as possible.

Unthinkable......

What was Gao Yuan's mood when he saw this contract!

Moment!

He had a premonition that an amazing traffic outlet was emerging in front of his eyes!

But as a great director, he naturally couldn't lose his temper, and after the initial shock, he slowly regained his composure.

"Steve. Did Colt buy any other movies? ”

"Bi Feiyu's "Seven Days of Killing" sold nearly 10 million US dollars in adaptation fees! The copyright of "The Prisoner" was bought by the way, and in addition, the movie "My Sassy Girlfriend Sadako" has also become a big dark horse in the trading market! ”

“……”

Gao Yuan listened to Gao Jianliang talk about the copyright transaction of the [Southern California International Film Awards].

At that moment......

Gao Yuan took a deep breath: "Brother, help me book a ticket to Brazil......"

"To Brazil?"

"Yes!"

"When?"

"Tonight!"

"Tonight?"

"That's right! The sooner the better......"

"Okay!"

"By the way, brother, we must take advantage of this wind to launch the movie "Spy War" and pave the way for Gao Hui! This time, Gao Hui is afraid to be in the limelight! ”

"I understand!"
