Super 3 doesn't have a lot of scenes in the Los Angeles section.

With Chen Fei's full effort, it was all done in less than a week.

The reason why the time can be shortened to such a short time is due to the rapid shooting progress of the drag racing shots, which indirectly shortens the shooting schedule.

Who would have thought that the director of Super 3 would be a skilled racer?

If Chen Fei is just an ordinary director and wants to shoot fast and furious drag racing scenes, he will definitely need countless NGs.

But as a director, he is also a racing driver who has mastered various drag racing skills!

A director with a deep understanding of cars and tracks, isn't it easy to shoot drag racing shots?

Chen Fei even deliberately improved the display of some shots on the basis of the original work to achieve better results.

As a result, Romulo's three views were refreshed!

In just one week, all the shots about Los Angeles were completed......

The progress was simply breathtaking!

That is, actors on the Hollywood side rarely work overtime, otherwise he is very suspicious that Chen Fei can even push the progress to less than five days!

On the day when the Hollywood plot filming ended, Romulo still couldn't hold back after all, and asked Chen Fei,

“Fei？ Are your Huaxia movies going so fast? ”

To tell the truth, even in a place like Hollywood, where the film industry system is very developed, the current filming schedule is very rare.

So much so that Romulo is wondering, is Super 3 an action blockbuster or a Class B horror movie?

"This progress... Soon? Chen Fei asked him very curiously.

Romulo: "......"

To be honest, compared to the shooting of rocks and racing cars, the shooting of Super 3 is already very slow.

But he can't help it, in addition to Hollywood's screenwriters' union, there are also directors' and actors' unions.

These unions have strict rules that the actor's filming time must be fixed within a certain time node, once exceeded. It counts as overtime.

And this overtime pay......

Expensive! It's expensive!

Therefore, if it is not inevitable, it is better not to work overtime.

"Let's change the subject."

Romulo stopped discussing the filming progress in time, and he made up his mind that he must go to Huaxia to have a look.

Because of Chen Fei, that ancient civilization with a cultural history of 5,000 years made him very curious!

"When are we going to Tokyo?"

"A week later."

"Why? Isn't there a good scene in Group B yet? Why is progress so slow? ”

“……”

Romulo was silent again.

In fact, in the original plan, the filming progress here in Los Angeles was half a month.

When this side is over, that side is just connected.

But who would have thought that Chen Fei's filming progress would be so fast?

After a moment of silence, Romulo spoke, "Fei, there's something I think I have to remind you of. ”

"Oh? You said? ”

"Our total investment is $85 million, and that's ... It must be spent, not kept, which is related to the investment amount of Super 4. ”

"Huh? Must be spent? Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "What about the issuance costs?" Not one of them? Don't have to stay? ”

"Super 3 is special, and the distribution cost will be borne by the theater."

In an instant, Chen Fei was enlightened!

Isn't it just going to burn money hard? Isn't that simple?

"Mr. Romulo, if I can bring in some well-known actors who are willing to make cameo appearances, can this part of the cost be deducted from the investment amount?"

"Oh!?"

Romulo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Yes, who do you want to invite?" ”

Chen Fei grinned slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, "You'll know when the time comes, since there is still some time, then I'll go back to China first, and we'll see you in Tokyo then." ”

"Ok, see you in Tokyo."

Although he was a little curious about who Chen Fei wanted to find for a cameo, Romulo didn't go out of his way to ask, anyway, he could reveal the answer when he went to Tokyo at that time.

…

Seeing off Romulo, Chen Fei turned his head and called Bruce and asked him to help book a ticket back to China.

I was free for more than a week, and I didn't have anything to do in Los Angeles, just enough to go back to China to arrange some things.

It's just that when he proposed to return to China, Bruce suddenly said, "Fei, I think it's necessary for you to meet someone before you go home." ”

"Oh? Who? ”

"It's the girl I mentioned to you before, the girl with a very hot body, and she's coming to me again."

"Let's say no, I'm not going to cooperate with an independent production company at the moment, and I can't talk about enough profits without good enough results as an endorsement."

The cooperation with Universal Pictures can be said to be "lucky", both sides want to take advantage of each other's advantages, so the cooperation can be reached.

But those independent production companies are different.

Their way of making money is relatively simple, so they are destined not to be able to give too much share in terms of interests.

Chen Fei doesn't want to just be a script seller, because his scripts are destined to make money, and he must enjoy the investment share, otherwise there is nothing to talk about.

With that, he was about to hang up the phone.

But in the next second, Bruce added, "But the other party has made a new demand, she wants to cooperate with you, in a company way." ”

Hearing this, Chen Fei instantly became interested.

"Elaborate?"

Bruce was a little depressed and said, "Well, I don't know how to explain these details, why don't you meet and let her explain it to you?" ”

"Okay, help me book a restaurant, reply to the other party, meet at three o'clock in the afternoon, and don't book a ticket back to China for the time being."

"Okay!"

Hanging up the phone, Chen Fei simply packed up his personal belongings, and then waited for Bruce's reply.

Within half an hour, the phone rang again.

"Fei, I'm going to pick you up now, and the other party invites you to her company for a detailed discussion."

Yo?

Is this trying to show me a wave of muscles first?

After thinking about it, Chen Fei immediately nodded, "Okay, then I'll go with you to meet this persevering film and television company boss." ”

…

Bruce's driving skills are very good, even in a slightly congested traffic, but he still drives steadily.

Glancing at Chen Fei, who was busy working on the co-pilot, he was a little curious, "Fei? Why do I find the orange peel in your hand so familiar? ”

He vaguely remembered that when he took Chen Fei to Universal Pictures to discuss cooperation that day, he seemed to have eaten a big orange.

Now, watching Chen Fei very solemnly soak the sun-dried orange peel in a water cup, he suddenly had a very bold conjecture.

This orange peel can't have been picked from the orange that day, right?

Thinking of this, without waiting for Chen Fei to answer, Bruce suddenly sighed with emotion: "Fei, you are really a thrifty person, I should learn from you." ”

Looking up at him, Chen Fei pursed his lips and secretly complained in his heart.

You know what a fart!

This is an orange peel taken from a "lucky orange", can it be compared to ordinary oranges?

"Can you bring me a slice?"

Seeing Bruce's outstretched hand in front of him, Chen Fei was a little entangled, "You don't soak in water to drink, why do you want orange peel?" ”

"I took three Liuwei Dihuang pills today, and I feel so bitter in my mouth, I want to take a piece to get a taste."

"Okay." Chen Fei pinched out a small piece with some distress, put it in his hand very solemnly, and advised: "Hold it tight, swallow it, don't miss it, this orange peel is very precious." ”

System: "????? ”

…

When he came to the position designated by the other party, Bruce parked the car and subconsciously glanced at Chen Fei.

Looking at the Avenue of Stars on the right, both of them were a little stunned.

After looking at the surrounding environment and the scenes of people coming and going, Chen Fei asked in disbelief: "Are you sure that the other party's film and television company is on the edge of the Avenue of Stars?" ”

Bruce nodded, "I'm pretty sure that's where she is." ”

Made, you won't meet a rich woman, will you?

Chen Fei was inexplicably a little entangled.

can open a film and television company on the edge of this Avenue of Stars, how rich is this woman?

If the other party sees him and suddenly throws out a billion 800 million US dollars, then he accepts it...... Or accept it?

While thinking, the two had already gotten out of the car and walked along the other party's designated position.

Located in front of him was a six-storey commercial building, Chen Fei looked up and saw a huge signboard on the top of the building.

【Walton Entertainment Company】

Walton Entertainment?

In an instant, Chen Fei frowned slightly, and suddenly had a strange feeling, "This company name?" How does it feel so familiar? ”

Just as he was thinking, he saw more than ten people walking out of the door of the company, walking quickly towards him.

The leader is a girl with long gray-brown hair, a tall figure and a beautiful appearance, with a pretty face that fits the aesthetics of both European and American men and Chinese men.

However, looking at that face, Chen Fei felt more and more entangled.

He never thought that the sexy and hot woman with a sexy body that Bruce said would be this one!

"Fei, welcome to you, first of all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Natalie Walton, you can also call me Natalie."

"Hello... Ms. Natalie. ”

The woman in front of him, Chen Fei, had seen it on Baidu Encyclopedia.

Of course, perhaps only mentioning her name, most people don't know very well.

But, her mother is the eldest princess of Wal-Mart!

"Nima, did you really meet a rich woman?"

In the face of Chen Fei's arrival, Natalie was very enthusiastic.

"Right in front of you is my entertainment company, which includes film production, studios, TV production, animation production, home video, games, comics, and many other businesses."

While introducing, Natalie led Chen Fei and Bruce into the company.

"We have a very mature production team, film and television post-production team, special effects and animation production team, covering all aspects of film and television."

Listening to her introduction, Chen Fei nodded slightly, and secretly affirmed in his heart.

It's a very mature film and television entertainment company, and it's the kind he wants so badly!

If he can have such a company, he can fully support him to shoot film and television without any worries.

But listening to it, Chen Fei suddenly discovered a very strange situation.

All the supporting facilities of this company are amazing, but why is there no shooting team?

He asked at the right time, "Ms. Natalie, I wonder where your company's film shooting team, screenwriting team, and director team are?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Natalie's face changed slightly.

"Fei, that's why I asked you to come."

In an instant, Chen Fei was enlightened!

Good guy, this woman has set up all the supporting facilities and logistics production team, but the most fundamental "resource" problem has been ignored by her.

No scripts, no directors, no actors......

So, what's the point of opening this company?

Without film output, it is impossible to form a closed loop, which is destined to be a bottomless pit that keeps losing money!

…

A group of people came to the conference room, and Natalie very warmly invited Chen Fei and Bruce to sit down, and arranged for someone to serve them drinks.

"Fei, you have also seen the situation of the company, I am very short of a suitable director now, only by producing works can I generate income, otherwise the company will not last long."

Chen Fei looked at her very puzzled, "At the beginning of the establishment, you didn't take these problems into account?" ”

"How is that possible!" Natalie's voice suddenly rose a lot, "I had a partner, but he betrayed me and joined another company......"

With her explanation, Chen Fei finally understood the inside story.

Natalie's company is now in its first anniversary, and she used to get along well with her previous partner, who was responsible for the production of the film, and she was responsible for distribution and post-production.

But who would have thought that because of a "betrayal incident", the two had a big quarrel.

In the end, the other party led the production team to leave the company directly and turned around and threw himself into the arms of another company.

The company that has lost the shooting team and only has a post-production team for the film is in dire straits!

If it weren't for the strong financial strength behind her, I'm afraid this company wouldn't have lasted for a month.

But until now, Natalie is also a little depressed.

After all, she can't keep throwing money into this bottomless pit, right?

She's rich, but she's not stupid!

She has also tried to find other directors, but if she wants to support such a large company, the director's ability requirements are very high.

After many people came to visit, they just quit.

There are many well-known A-class film directors in Hollywood, but most of them are inextricably linked to the Big Eight, how can they look down on her as a small company?

But Chen Fei's arrival gave Natalie hope.

Through her family's channels, she sent someone to Huaxia and investigated the news about Chen Fei very carefully.

And the final result did not disappoint her!

This is an excellent commercial film director who is both a director, screenwriter and actor, and he not only enjoys international fame, but also has a lot of fame in the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild.

The most important thing is that he doesn't belong to any of the eight Hollywood majors!

And that gave Natalie a chance.

She passed Bruce and tried her best to get the meeting going.

…

Looking at Natalie's sincere gaze on the other side, after pondering for a long time, Chen Fei asked, "I want to know how you are going to cooperate with me." ”

"Shares."

Natalie did not hesitate to say what Chen Fei wanted most.

She knows very well that how far an entertainment company can develop in the future depends on whether the company can continue to produce excellent works.

Therefore, Chen Fei's presence is crucial!

"How is it distributed?"

"I'm 51, you're 49."

As soon as the words fell, looking at the confusion in Chen Fei's eyes, Natalie explained in time: "This is Hollywood after all, and your identity is destined to not be able to come to the front of the stage as the boss of a film and television company." ”

Chen Fei shook his head.

Natalie was a little anxious and missed Chen Fei, the company was doomed to decline, "This is already the greatest sincerity I can show." ”

To be honest, she actually didn't want to give Chen Fei so much profit, but if she didn't come up with enough benefits, then the end would only be bankruptcy.

She is actually not short of money, even if the company goes out of business, it doesn't matter, after all, this is just a company she has nothing to do.

But she wanted to fight!

She's going to make the man who betrayed her regret his actions!

Even if this company does not have that "betrayer", it can still survive tenaciously, and even reach the level of Lionsgate and even Hollywood!

It's more like a dream, but maybe it's just a success?

However, just as she was thinking about how to persuade Chen Fei, she saw the Huaxia director in front of her suddenly reach out and pat the shoulder of the white man who had been sitting beside him.

"Natalie, this is my partner in Los Angeles, his name is Bruce, and he's a professional agent.

I just noticed that your company doesn't seem to have a brokerage business, so you might as well let him lead his team of actors and models to join in.

How about we make a 5% contribution and ask him to be the third shareholder of this company? ”

Uh-huh?

As the eldest granddaughter of the Walton family, how could Natalie not hear that Chen Fei wanted Bruce to enter the company as a balancer in the voice of the two.

But she didn't care.

is just a film and television company, this is just the most inconspicuous project in her industrial chain.

If she hadn't wanted to slap the betrayer in the face, she wouldn't even be ready to keep the company, just package it and sell it.

"I don't have any opinions."

Natalie has a big hand, and the entrenchment attribute of the super rich second generation is instantly full!

At the same time, she even took the initiative to say: "I understand the rules, whether it is the director, screenwriter, or production fee, the company will pay as usual."

Moreover, in the future, you can also enjoy a 20% profit share of the full copyright income of self-written and self-directed works, which is equivalent to the cooperation model between Spielberg and Universal Pictures. ”

Boy?

Is this the super-rich second generation?

Is it so generous when it comes to cooperation?

Let's take a simple example.

If according to the model mentioned by Natalie, as long as the company can earn 100, then Chen Fei can take 20 first.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Fei, Natalie, and Bruce used the 80 to distribute.

According to the contract, Chen Fei can get 44, Natalie can get 46, and Bruce can get 10.

Calculated in this way, plus dividends, Chen Fei can get a total of 44 + 20 = 64!

In this way, his income will be far higher than that of the other two!

"Something is wrong! 12 points wrong! ”

Chen Fei was a little puzzled, no matter how inhuman Natalie was, she shouldn't make this kind of deal.

This contradicts his perception of "Hollywood" and "Wall Street"!

However, just as he was about to ask Natalie if she had any other conditions, the other party had already taken the initiative to speak: "Fei, under the premise of these conditions, I need you to help me complete one thing." ”

Sure enough, here comes the business!

Chen Fei instantly became serious, "Please speak." ”

"I want you to lead this company beyond Dimen Pictures!"

"The betrayer?"

"Yes, he's already a member of the Imperial Pictures, and I'm going to make him pay for his betrayal!"

The corners of Chen Fei's mouth raised slightly, "Ms. Natalie, I am very willing to agree to your conditions, which will become my vote." ”
