Chapter 146: Going to the Pretty Country?
"The vice president of Paramount's film and television production department contacted me and wanted to buy the film and television shooting license for 'Oldboy: That Youth.'"
Xiao Lan said excitedly: "20 million summer coins, a full 20 million!" ”
"Really?"
Zhao Xiaobei said with some surprise: "They just want film and television shooting authorization? ”
"To be precise, they want to buy our script."
Xiao Lan explained: "However, they also put forward a condition, that is, they hope that we will complete the expansion of this big online movie and create a script that is in line with the screen." ”
"If you can, it's best to finish the script within a month, and then you have to guide the filming in a beautiful country."
"Although I have 20% ownership of the script, the final decision is yours, so I can only call you."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaobei's first thought was to refuse.
If it is sold directly, it will be sold, but you still have to go to the beautiful country to guide the shooting, which touches Zhao Xiaobei's office personality.
Why do you have to run to a beautiful country?
"Xiaobei, who are you calling?"
After washing, the egret, dressed in casual clothes, walked over while wiping her hair.
Seeing Xiao Lan on the screen, he greeted with a smile: "Director Xiao, long time no see!" ”
"Hey, Heron, long time no see."
Xiao Lan shook his hand at the egret, "You two are going outside to play?" ”
"Hey, isn't this the start of filming of "Peaceful Residence", let's come over and have a good time."
Egret explained, "How are you in the beautiful country? ”
"I'm very good here, and the king has arranged all the trips for us properly."
Xiao Lai had a satisfied expression on his face, "The only thing that is a little worse may be the catering here, the summer meal of the beautiful country, which is called a miserable one." ”
"Although there are many summer restaurants in foreign countries, most of them are opened by overseas Chinese and Chinese, and they are all accustomed to their own tastes."
Bai Lu smiled and said, "If Director Xiao wants to eat authentic summer food, I suggest you go to Chinatown to see if any Xia restaurant has just opened, and it is very likely that it is from China." ”
"There's a different taste over there."
"Okay, I'll be fine in a while, I'll go to Chinatown."
Xiao Lan nodded, and then turned back to the topic: "Xiaobei, how did you think about it?" Do you agree with this? ”
"I don't agree."
Zhao Xiaobei shook his head, "If you don't have to go with us, then this price is very reasonable, it's nothing more than buying out the script, there's nothing to say." ”
"But if we have to run it in person, then the price is very unreasonable, and the price must be at least 30 million!"
30 million!
Xiao Yan's eyes were about to pop out: "Xiaobei, are you serious?" This price is too outrageous, right? ”
"It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Zhao Xiaobei shook his head, "Don't you understand what they mean?" The script is the main topic, and the two of us are a partner, and we can't even get a penny. ”
"Our screenwriters and directors in Xia Guo are not so worthless, and they really want to give them a penny, so let us go over and work for them?"
"Not ......"
Xiao was stunned for a while, and finally came back to his senses: "Xiaobei, I think this is an opportunity for us!" ”
"It's quite difficult for us Asian, especially Xia Guo's directors and screenwriters, to rush into Hollywood, and now that we finally have this opportunity, how can you still ......?"
"Director Xiao, I have to say two words to you."
Zhao Xiaobei interrupted Xiao Lan and said with a serious face: "Will the moon in a foreign country be rounder than the one in China?" ”
"Hollywood is a resort for Europeans and Americans, what does it have to do with us? Can't we create a movie resort that belongs to the Xia people? ”
The topic he raised was heavy, not to mention Xiao Lan, and even the egret fell silent.
As much as I hate to admit it, there are only two kinds of movies in this world for people in this world, one is Hollywood and the other is other.
One is called a blockbuster, and the other is called a movie!
"Xiaobei."
After being silent for a long time, the egret patted Zhao Xiaobei's shoulder:
"Of course, we know what you said, but there are some things that can't be done by thinking, and how many filmmakers are needed to work together?"
"I think what Director Xiao said just now makes a lot of sense, since Paramount's people have thrown an olive branch to you, I think you should seize this opportunity."
"No, I ......"
Zhao Xiaobei was about to refute the egret, but was interrupted by the egret:
"I know what you're worried about, if you're going to a beautiful country, I can also go with you, it just so happened that my dad talked to me about the beautiful country branch before."
"If I go over, I'll be able to get my dad back, don't you think?"
And what's going on?
Zhao Xiaobei looked at the egret with a flurry, he really hadn't heard the egret mention this matter.
"Xiaobei, if you can, who doesn't want to complete the relevant filming in China?"
Xiao Lan saw the hesitation in Zhao Xiaobei's heart, "Otherwise, Xiaobei, why don't you come to the beautiful country and talk to the people of Paramount about this matter." ”
"It's up to you to make the decision on this matter, and it just so happens that you can solve it all at once."
Zhao Xiaobei didn't speak, just frowned.
If you want to go to a beautiful country, with half a month of working from home, you can have this opportunity.
But...... Go abroad, Zhao Xiaobei really doesn't want to go out!
"That, Director Xiao."
Zhao Xiaobei didn't speak, but it was the egret who helped him out of the siege: "This matter is not a trivial matter after all, I think it's better to let Xiaobei think about it, right?" ”
"In this way, in two days, I'll let Xiaobei reply to you in two days, okay?"
"Okay."
Xiao Lan also knew that this kind of thing would not be done quickly, "Then this matter will be like this first, Xiaobei and Lulu, you should rest early, if you have any ideas, communicate in time, and hang up." ”
"Director Xiao, goodbye."
Zhao Xiaobei nodded at Xiao Yang and hung up the video call.
……
In the living room, Zhao Xiaobei and the egret sat opposite each other.
"Say it."
Zhao Xiaobei looked at the egret, and his voice was a little low: "What's going on with the beautiful country branch?" If you don't have this call, when are you going to tell me? ”
"Look at you, do you need to be so serious?"
Egret rolled his eyes, "My dad just talked to me about the branch, and he didn't have to let me go, so I didn't tell you, why did you say you were in a hurry?" ”
Didn't say you had to go?
Zhao Xiaobei raised his eyebrows: "So do you have an idea?" ”
"The idea is there."
Egret lowered his head and thought for a while, "Actually, the people from Warner have approached me before and wanted me to go there to develop, but I refused. ”
"At that time, it was a vice president of Warner who personally approached the door, and I felt that I hadn't done anything top in China, so there was no need to go abroad."
"But I promised them to make a movie, and the script was just finished, and I showed it at the end of last month."
"You also hide this thing, don't tell me!"
Zhao Xiaobei blinked, "So you've already agreed to shoot?" ”
"Not yet."
Egret shook his head, "I have some ideas about their script, so I asked them to change some of the plots, but I don't know when it will be completed." ”
"What kind of script?"
Zhao Xiaobei raised his eyebrows, "It can't be some agent, a personal hero, or simply in love, right?" ”
"No, it's a superhero this time!"
Bailu thought about it for a while, but he didn't hide it from Zhao Xiaobei, after all, the relevant plot has been publicized in Europe and the United States, and there is no need to hide the plot:
"A character named Scarlet Witch, who has a miserable background, has a twin brother, she is a chaotic magic, very powerful, I have never played this kind of role, so I thought about taking on a challenge."
