Wu Yuan didn't take John's advice, but he did need an English name.

It's not that he thinks English names are better and more advanced than Chinese names, but he will have to contact and cooperate with a large number of Europeans and Americans in the next period of time.

It's a bit embarrassing to let them take a bite of "yuan".

And they can't keep calling Wu Yuan "Mr.Wu", so respect is indeed respect, but the sense of distance has also been opened, and it is difficult for people to get close, usually only shouting on formal occasions.

It's impossible to chat privately with a "Mr.", or call the director directly.

So without the slightest hesitation, Wu Yuan gave himself an English name: Daniel (Daniel), which has no special meaning, just a good memory and a good memory.

After confirming the cooperation with John, Wu Yuan did not delay any longer, dealt with domestic affairs, reported to the school and Han Dong, and got on the plane to Los Angeles.

In other words, Wu Baige's English name is John...

And Wu Yuan's Hollywood first film "Juno" will be produced by John of Fox Searchlight.

Fate is wonderful.

......

On the plane, if you have to take a long flight of more than 12 hours, Wu Yuan will naturally not treat himself badly, and he bought a first-class ticket, and the flight feeling is quite comfortable.

But he's not resting, he's settling accounts.

Before leaving China, Wu Yuan dealt with some trivial matters, mainly the account sharing of "The Night the Comet Commet".

This movie has been released in China, and the mainland box office was finally fixed at 18.56 million, not breaking 20 million, which is a little regrettable.

The reputation and response of this movie are very good, Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island have the idea of introducing it for release, and China Film is still following up.

The share of the box office profits in the mainland was not settled so quickly, but the money obtained from the sale of the copyright before could already be settled.

At the suggestion of Han Dong, Wu Yuan opened a leather bag media company, and only applied for the business of [artist brokerage] for the time being.

There is no way, now the film does not allow private capital to enter, and the TV series needs a shooting permit, and Wu Yuan can't apply for it for the time being.

The biggest role of the establishment of his leather bag company is that he can apply for a corporate account in the bank to facilitate settlement with China Film.

As for finance and taxation, Han Dong asked China Film's finances to help deal with it, which can be regarded as convenient.

Wu Yuan discussed with Han Dong for the next plan, and the settlement this time was all in US dollars, including the next mainland account sharing.

Originally, he planned to use the money to invest in "Juno", but Fox Searchlight disagreed, so he could only save the money for the time being.

Waiting for Juno's release, plus the money from the box office, and then make some small moves in Hollywood.

Yes, although the Fox searchlight gave in, Wu Yuan still only planned to cooperate with them once.

It's not a thing to make a movie for someone else!

Wu Yuan, who clearly knows the general development of Hollywood in the next 20 years, how can he be a filming tool for Fox with peace of mind!

The movie "Juno" can be regarded as a name for Hollywood, a good relationship, and a good relationship to prove that he has the ability to eat this bowl of rice.

After "Juno", Wu Yuan will definitely set up an independent production company and do his own film projects.

You don't need to be too big, you can make three or five movies a year, make a profit of 100 million US dollars, and then distribute the benefits of distribution to the six major Hollywood majors, which can tolerate Wu Yuan's tossing.

The premise is not to touch their cake too much, and to learn to share more benefits outside.

The reason is very simple, just like it is difficult for foreigners to run the film industry in Huaxia, even in 2020.

Similarly, it is difficult for Hollywood to accept a Chinese person who is making film capital here.

Hollywood's invasion of the world has always been one of the important weapons in the hands of the US imperialists, how can outsiders get their hands on it.

Even if Wu Yuan knows which movies will be blockbusters in the next 20 years, he will have the opportunity to write scripts or invest first.

He is also destined to be unable to achieve the level of the six good docks, not even the second echelon such as the new line and Lionsgate.

What are you kidding?

The film industry has always been xenophobic, but any country with a little ambition will control its own film industry.

The Japanese and South Korean film markets do not allow outsiders to enter, and India has even legislated to prohibit foreign investment, even small Southeast Asian countries have their own policy support and protection.

Even if Hollywood claims to be the most open and tolerant in the world, the head capital of others is controlled by its own people.

Even British gentlemen can only be actors, directors, screenwriters, and at most producers in Hollywood, and they can't become a part of the capital.

It's good that Huaxia has not yet begun to rise in these years, and Haolaiwu does not think that the Huaxia film industry will pose a threat to Haolaiwu.

Therefore, Wu Yuan can still be a high-profile director in Hollywood for at least the next ten years, and a low-key production company.

If you make three or five movies a year and make one or two hundred million dollars, no one will care, or you can't embarrass him.

He has already planned that in the next five years, he will mainly make quick money in Haolaiwu, and he himself will shoot some literary films in China to pursue honors in Europe, and appropriately lay out the domestic market.

When the domestic film market is up, he will turn his focus to Chinese-language commercial films, and use the money earned from Hollywood to cultivate more outstanding domestic new directors and accelerate the growth of the mainland film market.

The long-term goal is to lead Chinese films to rush to Asia, not to mention the counterattack on Hollywood, at least the Asian market must be snatched back!

Back then, Hong Kong Island movies could be killed all over Asia, and there is no reason why future Chinese films can't do this!

......

There will be an end to a long voyage.

On December 16, Los Angeles time, Wu Yuan landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

"Director Wu, I'm finally seeing you again."

"Welcome to the Cinema Capital of the World!"

"There are the world's largest number of handsome men and women, the best film practitioners, and the most advanced film industry system!"

"You should have come a long time ago!"

John, who came to pick him up in advance, successfully picked up Wu Yuan and gave him a bear hug when he came up.

It's a little bald, but John's figure is still very good, at least Wu Yuan felt the two pectoral muscles on his chest when he hugged him, which is really not small!

"Hey, John, I'm glad to see you again, too."

"You're also going to be the producer of 'Juno,' and we're going to be working together for a while."

"Oh, I love working with a good young director like you." John smiled and patted Wu Yuan on the shoulder and pulled him towards the parking lot.

The two got into the pick-up car, and the driver took them to the hotel where Wu Yuan was going to stay.

Five-star, and it is also an executive suite, the Fox searchlight will not treat Wu Yuan badly in this regard.

"I'm sorry you didn't take my advice, but Daniel is a good name."

As soon as he got in the car, John teased Wu Yuan, but the topic quickly returned to the topic.

"Daniel, can I call you that?"

"Your "Coherence", the company has completed the remake, but the script has made some localized adaptations, and it is now being edited in post-production, and it should be released in January."

"It's a very small budget film, and the total cost is less than a million dollars, so the company doesn't plan to spend too much on publicity, but there will still be a premiere."

"Are you going to participate? It's in a studio in Los Angeles, and you're still the screenwriter of the movie! ”

"Moving so fast?" Wu Yuan was first surprised by the speed of the dock, and then shook his head: "I still won't go, the copyright has been sold out to you, and this movie has nothing to do with me in North America." ”

"Let's start working on Juno as soon as possible, I can't wait to make this film."

"How's it going, have I found the actor I need?"

"Of course!" John raised an eyebrow and said lightly, "They're all ready and waiting for your call." ”

"But you just experienced a transoceanic flight, take a day off, there will be a welcome party for you tomorrow, and when the party is over, I will bring the actors to meet you the day after tomorrow."

"Nope." Wu Yuan shook his head: "Forget about the welcome party, let's just start working." ”

John's eyes were strange, and he glanced at Wu Yuan with a smile: "No, Daniel, believe me, you will enjoy this welcome party." ”

"This is a novel experience that you have never felt in Huaxia~"
