Chapter 483: Marvel's first appearance

The script of the movie has been sent to his email by the system.

So Wang Mo started the printer, and after printing out the script of "Iron Man", he dialed Hao Mingxing's phone: "Brother Xing, are you in the company?" ”

Hao Mingxing said: "I just came back." ”

Wang Mo: "Okay, you come to my office, I have something to look for you." ”

A long time ago, Wang Mo asked Hao Mingxing to learn English and study Western culture.

This is finally going to come in handy.

Not much.

Hao Mingxing arrived.

After not seeing him for a while, Hao Mingxing seems to be more calm and introverted than before, and he seems to be just an ordinary person, but occasionally the essence that bursts out from the depths of his eyes can reflect his extraordinary.

"Brother Mo, are you looking for me?"

"Hmm."

Wang Mo motioned for Hao Mingxing to sit down, and then said with a smile: "What have you been busy with lately?" ”

Hao Mingxing said: "Two things, the first is to prepare a solo album, and the second is to shoot a movie recently. ”

Wang Mo said: "Movie? ”

Hao Mingxing said with a smile: "Yes, a kung fu film similar to "Jingwu Heroes", my agent and I thought the script was not bad, so we took it, and now the filming is nearing the end, and it will be completed in half a month at most." ”

"That's good."

Wang Mo gave a thumbs up.

In recent times, he has rarely given Hao Mingxing and Su Xueyao songs or movies, but let them go out on their own.

So in the past year or two, Hao Mingxing and others have been looking for resources outside.

With their strength and status, coupled with the influence of Yunhai Media, it can basically be said that the top resources in China can be picked at will.

So even if Wang Mo doesn't give them songs and movie scripts, they can still get along.

Wang Mo continued to ask: "After the filming, are there any other arrangements?" ”

Hao Mingxing nodded: "Yes, yes, but it's not a big deal." ”

"That'll do."

Wang Mo casually threw the script of "Iron Man" over.

To clarify: all in English!

In fact, Wang Mo can also make an all-Chinese version of "Iron Man", but he looks awkward himself. What's more, the story of the movie takes place in North America, so the English version is the best choice.

Hao Mingxing was stunned at first when he saw the dense English.

"Brother Mo, what is this?"

"New movies."

Hao Mingxing reacted instantly: "International film? ”

Wang Mo smiled and said, "That's right. You should be fine with the English version, right? ”

"Nope."

Rao is Hao Mingxing's psychological quality is different from ordinary people, and his heart is beating faster at this moment.

He thought about countless possibilities before coming, but he still didn't expect that as soon as they met, Wang Mo threw him the script of an English version of the movie. This kind of thing almost caught him off guard.

Wang Mo said: "That's okay, you go and understand the script, especially the character of the protagonist you want to play." ”

Hao Mingxing suppressed his excitement and asked, "Brother Mo, this movie should be a Western theme, right?" Will it be a problem for me to play the protagonist of a movie with a Western background as a Chinese person? ”

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Mo shook his head confidently: "First, North America is a country of immigrants, so fans don't pay much attention to whether the protagonist is a Western face. In Hollywood movies, there have been almost all racial protagonist types: black, yellow, and white. Second, your own skeleton is already large and your face is square. When the time comes, as long as you put on a little makeup, you will have both the domineering and restrained spirit of the East and the West, and become more attractive. ”

Wang Mo did not exaggerate at all.

Hollywood movies do not reject oriental faces, Li Lianjie was a big name in Hollywood in his previous life, and as for Ah San and Fusang, there are many people who have become actor-level existences and conquered the entire Hollywood.

So as long as you have acting skills and match the characteristics of the character, then the oriental face is not a problem at all. Even Hao Mingxing's unique identity as a kung fu master can bring him a more mysterious aura.

Hao Mingxing has always been obedient to Wang Mo, and when he heard this, he nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

After saying that, he picked up the script and left the office.

After Hao Mingxing left, Wang Mo made another phone call.

This time, the person he contacted was Peng Chen, the director of "The Wandering Earth".

Peng Chen is a well-known director in the Chinese film circle, because he has directed several science fiction movies before, has relevant experience, and his level is good, so he was recommended by Yuan Xiong.

Because he was only half a tool man, Wang Mo quickly decided to let the other party direct.

Now it seems that the other party has executed it well.

Once the phone is connected.

Wang Mo went straight to the topic: "Director Peng, do you know Hollywood directors?" ”

Peng Chen suddenly heard this question, and was stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly: "Mr. Wang, I know them, but they don't know me." ”

Get!

Wang Mo patted his head, feeling that he was thinking too much.

Domestic directors, especially small sci-fi directors like Peng Chen who have not made great achievements, are estimated to be not even familiar with top domestic directors, let alone Hollywood directors.

Hung up the phone.

Wang Mo slapped his head suddenly.

He himself is really funny with his head.

Last time I was in New York, I made a lot of connections.

It's just that he has always had an inherent thinking concept that he didn't think of this.

Not now, but when?

turned out the thick pile of business cards collected at the beginning, and found that there were really several Hollywood directors. It's just that there are no directors who are good at shooting science fiction movies.

I thought about it.

Wang Mo contacted Kenneth.

After receiving Wang Mo's call, Kenneth was extremely excited: "Hey! Master Wang Mo, although I received your call at one o'clock in the morning, my heart is as warm as a volcano. ”

"Ahem."

Wang Mo's face was full of embarrassment.

He forgot about the jet lag, it was noon here, but it was late at night in North America: "That, sorry......"

Kenneth: "No, no, no, don't say anything like that, I'll feel guilty." ”

Obviously, Kenneth has already become Wang Mo's brain-dead fan.

Wang Mo was also polite, he asked, "Mr. Kenneth, can you introduce me to one or two Hollywood directors?" The kind that makes sci-fi movies. ”

As the king of AMC cinemas, Kenneth almost blurted out: "Of course it's no problem!" It's just a small thing. Two days, two days at most, and I'll have Clement and Thompson visit you. I think the two of them will be very happy to have your invitation, Mr. Wang Mo. ”

Wang Mo was taken aback.

Both of them are some of the top science fiction directors in Hollywood today.

Kenneth can be summoned with a word.

But think about it and take it for granted.

No matter how awesome the director is, in front of Kenneth, who has choked the lifeblood of their theater, he can only be obedient. Coupled with Wang Mo's own status in the music industry, Kenneth's words are really not exaggerated.

In addition, international directors do not cover the sky with one hand like in China.

Unless they are as high as Cameron, many top directors do not have much power, and they are even worse than producers. At best, they are just part-time workers.

And the real voice is still the investment company, as well as a theater boss like Kenneth.

It's just that of course Wang Mo won't be so high-minded, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Kenneth, just give me their contact information, I don't have any big deals, I just have a science fiction movie I want to shoot." But no director has been selected yet. So I wanted to consult with the other party, I don't know if they are interested in taking over the director's position. ”

Kenneth heard this: "Master Wang Mo, you want to make an international movie?" ”

Wang Mo replied: "Yes." ”

Kenneth hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you have a film company in Hollywood?" ”

Wang Mo shook his head: "No." However, I have already registered a corporate branch in North America, and it is easy to set up a film company. ”

Kenneth said seriously: "Master Wang Mo, it's not that simple. If you just want to make a film with an international theme, and you don't think about the release schedule, then you can do anything. But if you want to compete for the global box office after the movie is released, it's best to start a Hollywood studio. ”

Wang Mo was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Kenneth explains, "Because if your film isn't a Hollywood production, then when it's released in North America, you're going to have a lot of constraints. The scheduling, the sharing, and even the subsequent competitive awards all have an impact. Because there is a Hollywood movie protection clause in North America. As long as it is a movie produced by Hollywood, it will get top North American resources. Other film companies, especially foreign films, will have much worse resources. There is no way to compete for many Oscar awards. ”

With that, Kenneth explained the detailed rules about movies in North America.

Only then did Wang Mo know why North American film companies were all set up in Hollywood.

It turns out that in addition to the concentration of resources, there are so many hidden secrets.

Wang Mo pondered for a moment before he spoke: "According to what you mean, if I want to set up a film company in Hollywood, it is also not simple?" ”

Kenneth said, "That's true. Because Hollywood is, to put it bluntly, to protect the local film industry in North America. Therefore, the law in North America states that Hollywood studios must be controlled by local people. Master Wang Mo, as a Chinese, there is no way to register a company in Hollywood. ”

Wang Mo was stunned.

But soon, Kenneth laughed: "But you don't have to worry, the rules are dead, people are alive." ”

Wang Mo raised his eyebrows: "Do you have a way?" ”

"That's right!"

Kenneth is clearly familiar with it: "There are too many precedents for this kind of thing in Hollywood. After all, it is impossible for the big conglomerates of Europe, Asan, Fuso, and even Bangzi countries to see that they can't set up a company in Hollywood. So they each have their own tricks. The easiest way to do this is to find a North American native who owns a Hollywood company. Then sign an agreement with the other party to actually take power behind the scenes. In this way, a Hollywood company can be rightfully mastered. ”

Indirect holdings.

The most common approach in business.

Wang Mo nodded secretly and said with a smile: "It's indeed a good way." ”

Kenneth continued: "But if you're going to find someone like that and buy a Hollywood company, it's too long. If you trust me, Master Wang Mo, I happen to have three Hollywood companies under my name. I can give you one of these companies. On the surface, I am still the controlling shareholder, but I will transfer all the shares to you through other channels. I don't know what you think? ”

As a theater king, how can you not have your own film company?

Wang Mo was slightly stunned again.

If Kenneth didn't have bad intentions, then this favor was too great.

But Kenneth probably didn't have a bad intention.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Mo still said, "Mr. Kenneth, what are you doing this for?" ”

Kenneth smiled brightly and confessed: "Because Master Wang Mo, you are my idol, you let me hear how beautiful the piano master's performance is, let me satisfy my lifelong wish, and also let me be in the limelight in front of celebrities." So I'd love to help you. What's more, in fact, this company is basically just an empty shell, and I have nothing to lose. If you take over, you'll have to start with pretty much nothing. ”

Wang Mo shook his head and smiled.

Listening to Kenneth, it's a little regrettable that the company doesn't have much, does this guy still want to send a high-end Hollywood company?

He was a little glad in his heart, it was a good thing to have such a brainless fan as Kenneth.

Ponder for a moment.

Wang Mo said: "In that case, I will ask someone from my company to contact you at that time to solve this matter." But we won't have full control of that company, I'll let the company give you 20% of the shares. You see how. ”

Since the other party has helped him so much, he will not be stingy.

Kenneth didn't think much of it.

Without hesitation, he agreed: "No problem! However, Master Wang Mo, do you want to give this Hollywood company a name? I'm going to revise it in advance, and when the time comes, I'll be able to shoot the movie directly. ”

Name?

Wang Mo pondered for a moment and spit out a name: "It's called 'Marvel' Studios." ”

He filmed "Iron Man", not just for a science fiction movie.

Marvel?

Kenneth looked confused, the name was a bit strange.

Caricature?

Power?

He shook his head, feeling a little confused about Wang Mo's thinking, but he still nodded: "Okay." ”

……

After the two ended the call.

Wang Mo called Yuan Xiong almost immediately, and told him in detail what happened just now, and then smiled: "Brother Xiong, the next thing will be handed over to you." ”

“……”

Yuan Xiong's whole person is stupid.

He didn't expect that he hadn't seen Wang Mo for such a short time, and Wang Mo actually made up a science fiction movie and aimed at the international market.

This is not enough, Wang Mo actually got a Hollywood film company through Kenneth.

"God!"

Yuan Xiong felt that he was going to worship God, because according to Wang Mo's account, Kenneth said that it was a matter of effort to get a Hollywood company. But Yuan Xiong knew very well in his heart that it would be almost difficult to control a Hollywood company behind his back. After all, Hollywood unions are not stupid.

Generally speaking, only international giants such as Europe and Asan can control Hollywood companies through various means.

With Yunhai Media's current capabilities, it is far from being able to do it.

But Wang Mo did it with a phone call.

Wang Mo saw Yuan Xiong's expression change, thinking that he had given Kenneth too many shares, so he said: "Brother Xiong, after all, Kenneth has made a lot of efforts, so 20% of the shares are necessary, if you think it is too much, you can do it." ”

Yuan Xiong spread his hands helplessly: "I'm not thinking about this. ”

20% of the shares are more fart!

If you can control a Hollywood company, let alone give Kenneth 20%, even if it is 49% of the shares, Yunhai Media can be ecstatic.

Don't say anything else.

Yuan Xiong recently registered a branch of Yunhai Media in a beautiful country, and he spent a lot of energy.

The official guys in the beautiful country have always been extremely strict with the management of Huaxia's company, and often sanction any of our companies in North America for all kinds of unfounded reasons. It's like the hatred of taking a wife. So if Yunhai Media wants to register a Hollywood company by itself, the probability is almost zero.

"I'm going to North America right away and talk to Kenneth about the company."

Yuan Xiong didn't elaborate, just dropped a sentence and left in a hurry.

That's the big deal.

So even though he had only just returned to China, he had to go again.

……

Yuan Xiong had just left.

Wang Mo's mobile phone rang, it was a transoceanic call, showing that it was from North America.

"Who's?"

Certainly not Kenneth.

Because I have Kenneth's phone saved on my phone.

He answered casually, and heard a man's voice with a thick western North American accent come from him: "You...... Okay, is it Mr. Wang Mo? ”

Wang Mo: "It's me, hello. ”

The man's tone suddenly became respectful: "Master Wang Mo, I'm Clement, I heard Mr. Kenneth say, you want to make a science fiction movie here?" ”

Ouch!

Wang Mo was full of excitement.

Kenneth is really awesome, and he actually called Clement, a big Hollywood director, so quickly.

The key North America is still late at night.

While thinking, he replied, "Yes." ”

Clement said, "Then have you written the script?" If it's written, I wonder if you can let me read the script. If the script fits, I'll be happy to serve you. ”

Clement was very cautious when he said this.

In fact, he didn't expect the sci-fi script that Wang Mo took out in his heart at all.

Oh, God!

Are there any good sci-fi movies in Huaxia?

No!

Not a single one!

So he was sure that Wang Mo couldn't come up with any good quality scripts.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the script is good, it is estimated that it has strong Chinese characteristics, which is not suitable for the international stage at all, and it is not suitable for it to be directed by a Hollywood director.

It's just that he can't afford to offend Kenneth or Wang Mo, so he speaks very tactfully.

Wang Mo was clear and knew what Clement was thinking, so he smiled and said, "No problem, I can send you the script now." Rest assured, I won't let you be embarrassed. If you don't like the script, just reject it. There is no need to have any psychological burden. ”

Clement breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He hurriedly said, "Thank you Mr. Wang Mo for your understanding." But even if the script isn't right, if you need my help then, I can do my best. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Mo knew that the other party was releasing kindness.

He smiled, humbly conceded a few words, and sent the script of "Iron Man" over.

Just finished a fairy tale.

Another transatlantic phone call, this time it was Thompson, another Hollywood sci-fi director.

After Wang Mo also explained, he also sent him the script of "Iron Man".

……

Far away North America.

Clement rubbed his sleepy eyes and shook his head helplessly.

Beside him, his wife asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Clement smiled bitterly: "Kenneth is a brainless fan, he gave us a problem in order to please his idol, and this makes me in a dilemma." Fortunately, Mr. Wang Mo is easier to speak, otherwise I really don't know what to do. Is it really impossible for me to direct a Chinese science fiction movie? ”

His wife smiled slightly: "I heard that Master Wang Mo is a legendary figure, and I have heard many Chinese friends in the company mention his "Kung Fu" movie, saying that the shooting is quite good. Maybe the science fiction script he wrote is also distinctive? So my suggestion is that you might as well take a look at the script that the other person sent. After all, you once said that don't look down on the script that anyone hands you over. Even if the other person is a bum, this is the key to your success. ”

"Baby, you're right."

Clement kissed his wife and stood up with his clothes on: "Anyway, I don't feel sleepy, then I'll listen to you." ”

Turn on the lights.

Turn on your computer.

Download the script from your mailbox.

Then he took a fancy to the name of the movie script at a glance.

"Hey! Iron Man? It's an interesting name. ”

As a top science fiction director, just a name has made him emerge with a lot of imaginary pictures.

Then, he put on his glasses and looked at it carefully.

The script tells the story of Tony Stark, a genius inventor who, after being kidnapped by terrorists, uses his wits and technology to create an advanced set of armor and incarnate Iron Man. He uses this equipment to protect the world from evil forces, while also experiencing a story of growth and transformation in his heart.

"Huh?"

At first, Clement was nonchalant, but soon his eyes widened.

The story does not have the Chinese style he guessed at all, but a typical North American heroic plot.

Especially the hero in the script, he is completely a superhero who makes his blood boil just by reading the script.

Domineering shape,

Incredible technology.

Tough abilities.

Many places surprised him and surprised him.

The super-burning plot and powerful technology make the protagonist an all-powerful Iron Man.

It's all hot when I think about it.

Especially Tony's "I am Iron Man." Goosebumps popped up on Clement's eyes.

As a top science fiction director, he almost immediately judged one thing: this script is not as unbearable as he imagined before, but very good! Very good!

Even if it is put in Hollywood, such a script is dazzling enough!

"How?"

Seeing that Clement did not respond for a long time, his wife asked aloud.

When Clement heard his wife's voice, he realized that he had unknowingly read the script for more than two hours.

He raised his head and said seriously: "You're right, this script is very good." It is not only very creative in terms of plot, but also very suitable for the characteristics of Hollywood blockbusters in terms of story. ”

Wife: "What do you think?" ”

Clement took a deep breath: "I'm going to shoot it!" ”

There was a pause.

He added: "Now Hollywood movies are all fake and empty." In other words, the pursuit of visual effects is excessive, but the basic plot is abandoned. So these movies seem to have amazing visual effects, but the plot is quite bad. This is also a common problem in Hollywood movies today. But this "Iron Man" script, the plot is quite exciting, plus it is a superhero story, this kind of plot can be liked by the North American people the most. So I think it has a lot of potential. ”

The wife smiled slightly: "Then go and shoot." ”

"Hmm."

Clement didn't hesitate any longer.

He immediately dialed Wang Mo's phone again, and his mood was completely different from the last time he called. (End of chapter)
