Chapter 302: Determining the Director
Time passed slowly, and while everyone was working hard, "Chainsaw" and "Quick Rush" were released again in North America, and the time came in February 2005, and preparations for the Academy Awards began.
The films sent to compete for the awards, the companies behind them began to operate.
Various film companies began to lobby, but there was no trace of Lion King Pictures.
Lion King Pictures did send "The Lord of the Rings", but it was also sent over, and it did not lobby, but was busy with the post-production of "Spy 2" and the filming of "Hurricane 2".
Lion King Pictures has no new projects established, and there are no public activities, at most it is the inspection and review of some low-budget films to complete the contract of the theater party.
This thing is so strange that the major film companies that were originally going to block it felt like their fists were hitting the cotton.
People don't have any effort at all, so how can they stop it?
The quality of "The Lord of the Rings" is not to be said, it is indeed a good movie, but it is a group movie, or a commercial type, so it is not easy to win awards for actors and directors.
It's true that you give up, but why don't you fight for its shooting, music, costumes, etc.?
The fact is that there is no way to make money, He Yuzhu doesn't care about the so-called awards at all, and this thing doesn't delay him from making money, why do you have to pursue it?
He Yuzhu himself is not an actor and director, or even a producer, he doesn't need to pursue fame, he just pursues profit.
Awards are chicken ribs for him, and even raise the value of others, and finally counter himself?
Now that Lion King Pictures has no new projects, maybe that's a good thing, right?
At least, their series of movies are fixed, and after having a reference, they can completely deal with it, avoiding each other's blockbusters and releasing them at the same time with small-budget movies.
……
The two brothers, the big and small kings, were talking to Director Feng at this time, "Old Feng, do you think that Wen Ziren can shoot well?" ”
Director Feng is very depressed, he is the first director to cooperate with He Yuzhu in a movie, but now he can't even say a word, his vision is shallow!
For the sake of such a little money, why are you so confused?
"I don't know if he can shoot it well, but he is a foreign-born Chinese, why did he shoot Yue Fei?" Director Feng's sour tone.
The king said: "Indeed, he is a foreigner, what can he shoot Yue Fei?" ”
"Do you think we're going to talk to Mr. He?"
Director Feng was not stupid, he shook his head directly and said: "No need, people don't have contact with the entertainment industry in the mainland at all now, how can we talk about it?" ”
"This is still obviously resentful, didn't I go and vent it directly on my head?"
The big and small kings are slanderous in their hearts, you are the main master, and it is actually best to hand you over, but the two of them don't dare to do this.
After all, they rely on Director Feng to make money!
"It is said that there is no upper limit on investment, if our actors are sent in, no matter what role, it will be an increase in value!" Xiao Wang obviously didn't want to give up, "I think so, since Director Feng is inconvenient to go, then I'll go." ”
The king pondered for a moment and then nodded and said, "It's okay for you to go, after all, we haven't had contact with him, how can we know if it's okay if we don't have contact?" ”
"We always have to try, our company in the mainland is one of the fastest growing, if we can participate in this production, then it will undoubtedly speed up our listing."
"Then it's decided." Xiao Wang nodded.
And Director Feng never spoke, he didn't want to express any opinions now, but he was understanding Yue Fei in private.
……
He Yuzhu was not in a hurry, so he could give Wen Ziren a lot of time to study, and Wen Ziren finally felt that it was almost the same, and came directly to He Yuzhu, and the two sides began to talk.
Wen Ziren talks about some things that he understands, such as Confucian culture, but he cannot fully understand the core of Confucian culture.
He Yuzhu also understands this, he himself can't get the core of Confucian culture, the Chinese people are just imperceptible, after all, it has been inherited for thousands of years, that is, it is integrated into the bones.
It's extremely difficult to change!
"And what are you going to do?" He Yuzhu asked.
"It's easier and simpler to express what you learned from his parents, after all, we are a commercial blockbuster." Wen Ziren said: "And it is easy for Westerners to understand, after all, they were once also ruled by the monarch. ”
"They can understand things like etiquette and class."
"Then there is military training and war, and they can understand it as well."
He Yuzhu nodded slightly, I have to say, this method is very good.
If you want to export culture, you first need to be understandable by the other party, and "the translation is also convenient enough." Wen Ziren added.
"Etiquette can be understood through actions, and war doesn't need words, but the final translation of Man Jianghong is difficult."
"After all, the text is too concise, and we need to find poets in the West to help translate, but it is impossible to get it right."
"It's better to have two versions, and the version that is released to the public directly writes a poem with a similar meaning in a foreign language, so as to avoid the trouble of translation."
"Good way!" He Yuzhu was very satisfied, "It's really right to come to you, you start preparing!" ”
"Thank you boss!" Wen Ziren was very happy, got up and said goodbye and left.
The project was officially established!
And Xiao Wang found Hong Kong Island at this time, he came to visit directly, and he couldn't find someone to introduce him.
He Yuzhu looked at the person in front of him, but his heart was very greasy, "I don't know what Mr. Xiao Wang came here for?" ”
"I heard that Mr. He is preparing a big production, and our company can be said to be the largest private film and television company in China, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate." Xiao Wang said directly: "There are a lot of actors in our company, you can choose." ”
He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I have enough personnel, I don't need people from other companies, and I don't lack funds." ”
"......" Xiao Wang didn't expect this person to be so direct, but they can't afford to offend this person, "Mr. He, it's very risky to invest alone, it's better to share it, this is the norm of film and television production." ”
"No, I actually had the idea that I could lose money from the beginning, I didn't care how much I invested, I just wanted to watch the movie I wanted to watch." He Yuzhu still refused, "Okay, there is no possibility of cooperation between us." ”
"Mr. He, if our company wants to go public, we can sell a part of the original shares." Xiao Wang hurriedly took out his hole cards, "I believe that once it is listed, the value will not be low." ”
"Hehe~" He Yuzhu laughed, "Can your market value catch up with the annual income of one of my companies?" ”
