241 Vicious wolf-like American top circles
"He, I'm going to think about it." Leonardo thought for a moment and gave an answer.
"Won't you ask me what the commercial film I'm going to ask you to make?" He asked.
Leonardo waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, your movie will sell well at the box office." ”
He didn't want to be so trusted by the world's top actors, it's really a bit ...... A little pride.
"However, Leonardo, you only have three days at most to think about it, and our commercial film will start filming in three or four months, and we must determine the actor as soon as possible." Where to remind.
"Oh, no, ho, this ......" Leonardo faltered.
"It's okay, I'm not here to force you, and I'm not here to embarrass you. If your team thinks about it, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, we'll follow our alternatives. ”
He did not embarrass Leonardo, after all, this is not another business negotiation. If he were to talk to Ham Cruise now, it would probably be a step by step, and then extreme pressure would force him to make a choice right away.
"Can I take the script and read it?" Leonardo asked.
"Of course, you can stay with you, as long as it doesn't leak out. Let's go, go to a Michelin-starred restaurant, I'm going to fly to Los Angeles tomorrow. He Fang smiled helplessly.
"Oh? In such a hurry? I'd also like to ask you to have a party tomorrow night, the Victoria's Secret internal party. ”
"Well, it's a pity, next time. I can't help it, my project with Fox and Warner's project are tight, and the point is that there is still a film waiting for me to go back and shoot in China, so ......"
He Fang helplessly spread his hands.
"Wow, he, your intensity and density are not suitable, 18 months a movie is the normal rhythm, so that there is plenty of time to relax, and then create."
"Well, that's for you, for the people of our backward countries, it's a sin to enjoy it now."
"Oh? What is this saying......"
……
He Fang and Leonardo really just had a meal together, and then chatted for a while to complete the meeting.
That night, He Fang enjoyed the spa service of the King of Understanding International Hotel, so-so, when it comes to the service industry, I still have to admire Southeast Asia, as well as the standardized Dongguan, alas......
He Fang is really busy these days, and the three crews have something to report to him, especially the "Mermaid" crew, which is about to start, so there are a lot of problems.
He also wants to ask Stephen Chow for actor debts, he said before that as long as he goes to make a cameo, he will come to the crew to make a cameo.
So he wanted him to make a cameo appearance in the role of Boss Zheng in "The Mermaid", that is, the pretending criminal played by Zheng Jifeng in another time and space.
But after thinking about it, he gave up, he didn't want to be rejected by Stephen Chow and then embarrass everyone, because Stephen Chow would really do this kind of thing.
When I came to Los Angeles, I had to talk to Warners first, because "Edge of Tomorrow" was about to start filming in a few months, and now it was the right time to prepare, and this was a collaborative project, so some meetings were going to be held.
No, He Fang held a one-day meeting at Warner, mainly in preparation, the collision with the production team and the communication before and after the arrangement.
That evening, Warners threw a small party to celebrate the renewed success of Ho's film and the official launch of the new film collaboration, Edge of Tomorrow.
Therefore, there were more producers and bosses of film companies that night, and Kevin Tesohara introduced these people to He Fang one by one.
For example, Kathleen Kennedy, the founder and producer of Amperin Entertainment, everyone knows that Amperin is Spielberg's company, so what is Kathleen Kennedy, one of the founders of his company, doing here?
Perhaps, with whom to build a good relationship to eliminate Spielberg's bad and unfriendly remarks with the right? Where to enter the Chinese market in another way to make money?
I don't know about this, Katherine Kennedy just said hello to He Fang and had a brief chat, and He Fang couldn't see what her intentions were.
There are also the likes of Morgan Creek Film Productions CEO and producer James C. G. Robinson, the company is best known for the "The Exorcist" series of films.
Another example is Brand Weston, the producer of Regent Entertainment, which has many semi-excellent films, such as "Mouse Treasure", "Marriage War", "The Great Fox Dad", "Love and Elixir", "Time Planning Bureau" and so on.
Of course, what interests He Fang more is that Clark Jonathan Kirby, the CEO of Weixiu, a big entertainment company in Australia, has also arrived, and their company has produced the most famous movie "The Matrix" series.
The key is that their main business is not to make movies, but to operate theme parks, film and television production, film distribution, theaters and broadcast media, and is responsible for managing DVD stock storage and distribution services for Paramount Pictures, Warner Home Pictures, Roadshow Entertainment and many other companies.
It's a good global distribution company, especially in the Oceania distribution business, they are the boss.
Therefore, He Fang and Kirby got to know each other well and had a brief chat about cooperation.
In fact, Weixiu is also a global company, and Weixiu's Asian company has cooperated with many companies in the mainland.
In addition, there are such as Aziva Gosman, the producer of Virtual Studios, whose masterpieces are "Poseidon", "Foreseeing the Future", "Spartan 300", "Eden", "Bangkok Killer", "Blood Diamond" and so on.
There are also producers of Silver Pictures, the company "Sherlock Holmes", "V Vendtle" and so on.
Susan Downey, head of Dark Castle Entertainment, a subsidiary of Silfer Films, was also one of the more active members of the party, and Dark Castle Entertainment's "Haunted House", "Ghost Ship", and "Human-Animal Hybrid" were their masterpieces.
Of course, there are several other companies, which will not be introduced one by one, either the founders are here or the people in charge are here.
This makes He always feel that this party is not so simple, it is more like a party for Warner to cooperate with him, with an intention: Warner shows their strength, and then let him choose, which company do you want to cooperate with? What to work with? We all welcome it. Or there is another indication that you are welcome to join our family.
Of course, in addition to the heads of these production companies, there are also some celebrities who have cooperated more with Warner.
For example, Emma Watson, the grown up Huo Min.
For example, Anne Heatherway, the heroine of the currently released "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", her "Les Miserables" has not yet been filmed, but she has to come out to participate in the promotion of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises".
It just so happens that I'm going to this party tonight.
Of course, there is also the upcoming young heroine of "Thunderball" Tristin Mays, a black beauty.
What else is Lily James, Vanessa Hudgens, Britt Robertson, Blake Lively......
There are a lot of young female stars, all of whom are showy and turbulent.
Of course, there are also some handsome male stars, so I won't introduce this, He Fang has no interest in continuing to understand male stars.
"Hey, He, I didn't expect to meet you here, I haven't thanked you for your casting recommendation, how is it, are you free later? Treat you to a drink alone? Anne Heather greeted He Fang slightly, at this time she had short hair and a thin face, and she did feel a little out of shape.
But there's something else to it, isn't it? It's a pity that He Fang is really not available.
"I don't know yet, but I'm not necessarily free, because I have too many things to do. The movie hasn't started filming yet, but when it starts, we have a chance to get along, right? ”
He Fang raised the wine glass in his hand and said.
"Well, that's what I said, looking forward to cooperating with you." Anne smiled and raised her glass to touch with Ho.
"Hey, beautiful Miss Anne, can I borrow five minutes?" Kirby, the boss of Weixiu, asked.
"Oh, of course, Mr. Kirby." Anne smiled, then walked away with her glass in hand.
He Fang smiled at Kirby.
"He, I am very interested in the publicity and distribution business of Chinese film Oceania that you mentioned earlier. As you said, there are more and more Chinese in Australia and New Zealand. Therefore, their demand for Chinese film and television products is also increasing, which may be a business. ”
"Of course, you trust me, Mr. Kirby. In fact, your Weixiu business in Asia is very good, and there is a lot of cooperation with Chinese mainland, and you can understand the part about Chinese films without me introducing you. ”
"So, apart from the Oceania publicity and distribution of Chinese films, what is there that Weixiu can sell to China?" Kirby asked.
He Fang shook his wine glass with a smile, then raised the cigarette in his right hand to his mouth and took a puff.
"Mr. Kirby, what do you want to sell? If you can come up with a plan that complies with China's regulations, I will be happy to help you. He asked rhetorically.
"But I don't think we know what to sell better than you guys, and if there's a better way, we can work together......" Kirby said, giving him a meaningful look.
"Haha, I roughly understand what you mean, but I personally think that it would be more appropriate to have your product solution first, and then our cooperation. Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom. "He's playing haha.
It's all a group of people who want to hook up the author from within another country, in the right way? What's the right way? It's not the people inside who are helping you figure out a wild way out.
Of course, it is impossible for He Fang to do such a thing, chatting, He Fang put down his wine glass, and then went to the bathroom.
After coming out, the heads of other companies came over one by one to chat and exchange possible cooperation, in fact, they all had similar ideas to Kirby.
He Fang didn't promise anyone, of course, these people were not disappointed, after all, a lot of business is not said to be able to negotiate achievements immediately, as long as you find a key person, you can slowly public relations.
Now Hollywood is staring at China's big cake, there is a market of three or four billion dollars a year, and it is estimated that it can rise to a big market of seven or eight billion dollars in the future, who wants to miss it?
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the party was coming to an end, and He Fang proposed to leave, and naturally a few actresses came over hoping to have some follow-up, but He Fang politely refused.
He doesn't need to be so profligate now, everyone has to wait and see, although who has achieved success with two commercial blockbusters, it is only the success that Hollywood has given him, and if there is no global promotion with the assistance of Fox and Warner, who cannot succeed.
Therefore, they need where to show more strength, so that he is more addicted to the world's great directors, and slowly he is reluctant to lose the taste of this status of a great director, and then he will be wronged for many things.
This is the usual method of the capitalists, few people can escape, and in the end they will become one of them, working together for this interest group.
Of course, who is thinking and what is thinking, can he not understand the thoughts of this group of people? Warner showed him a huge alliance of interests, but this alliance of interests revolves around Warners.
If anyone is willing to take China's benefit sharing, then who will become one of them, what a temptation this is.
But what do you want to do is to borrow chickens to lay eggs, you want to catch this fish of mine, right? Yes, let's take the bait.
When I've had enough bait, I'll say goodbye to you.
Chinese films must rely on others at this stage, what can be done?
"Boss, they don't really seem to be celebrating you, but rather a ceremony to test your initiation." Du Chunsheng said in the car.
He's not a fool either, after so many years in Hollywood, who would be a fool?
"Haha, though, I don't have that idea yet."
"Uh-huh, I can see it, otherwise you would have let Anne and Huo Min go, when I was in school, these two were our common dream lovers." Du Chunsheng said with a smile.
"Lao Du, although the mandala is beautiful but poisonous, it is best to touch it less before you don't have the ability to resist poison." He Fang felt a cigarette and lit it.
"Uh-huh, you're still so rational." Du Chunsheng smiled and shook his head, "By the way, there are a batch of adult but youthful-looking chicks, why don't you try it?" Fresh goods, just spend money, there is no other risk. ”
“???” He Fang looked at Du Chunsheng in surprise, "Actresses are tired of playing?" ”
"Hehe," he smiled, not continuing.
"Are you sure it's a chick and an adult?"
"Ha, if there is a certificate of adulthood, I don't know if there is a lie, the chick is 100% sure, this can be guaranteed, it is all goods from Ukraine. Did Epstein know? It's a product from his channel, which is guaranteed to be fresh and of the highest quality. ”
"Hey, you bad guys...... No, I'm going to save one tonight. ”
"Welcome to the rescue."
