280 Why do people always think of him as a fool?

In the face of Anne's eyes, who doesn't know what it means? Evil, didn't he come over to save the frustrated handsome guys and beauties in Hollywood, why did he help Leonardo, and he had to face Anne's expectant eyes?

Alas, how can this matter be solved? He Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Let's figure out a way together, I'll ask people to find out what good movie projects there are, and you can find them too. If there is a suitable heroine, and it is suitable for your age, then there is a chance, or it is not difficult. ”

"Aren't you the best screenwriter in the world?" Anne sat over and swayed.

"It's right that I'm a screenwriter, but if you ask me to write some science fiction, write some action movies and the like, I'm okay, write a realistic award-winning script, and it's an award-winning script in the Western context, and the key is more demanding is the script headed by the big heroine, which is simply impossible, I can't do it."

"Then you still want to buy the script?"

"That's right, there's only one way to go." He Fang nodded.

"But ......"

"Look for it, especially for those female writers, and then have the opportunity to adapt and adapt. You look for it, and I also asked my colleagues in my company to find it, Lao Du is better at this kind of thing, he knows a lot of such producers and screenwriters. He Fang said.

"Okay, then you have to let them find it, my current willingness is to win an Oscar for Best Actress."

"I'll try my best."

"No, you have to do your best, come on, come on, do your best......"

……

This thing really makes He Fang's head big, Anne is indeed missing an Oscar for Best Actress, and her acting career will be perfect.

Alas, who thinks that he shouldn't be greedy for other people's bodies, and always has to pay the price, really when the Oscars are opened by his family, he can win the award if he says that he can win the award? He himself won the best foreign language film once.

Why does everyone believe so much that he can help others win Oscars? This......

Forget it, whether it works out or not, let's try it first.

He asked Du Chunsheng to find this kind of script, or a similar project.

Faced with He's request, Du Chunsheng raised his eyebrows at him.

"If you want a big heroine, and there is a possibility of winning an award, it is better to be 30 years old left? He, did you take Anne down? Du Chunsheng said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, there's no such thing. If you spread the word about chasing after the wind and shadows, something big will happen. He Fang denied it.

Du Chunsheng thought for a moment, and he slapped his mouth smartly, "I said it nonsense, and I won't say it again in the future." Looking for this kind of project, right? I've heard a few of them before, so I'm going to ask. ”

"Well, good job, Lao Du." He Fang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Du Chunsheng shrugged.

On July 29, "X-Men" was completed, and the 70-day filming was finally completed.

He Fang rested in Los Angeles for two days, chatted with Fox, gave some advice on post-editing and production, and hoped that he would not cut some things blindly in the later stage.

The reason why he asked Fox for this was because Fox gave him some editing suggestion rights, and he was just exercising his authority.

In addition to docking with Fox's work, he also went to meet with the heads of several large companies.

For example, he met and chatted for most of the day with Amy Pascal, the CEO of Columbia Pictures, the current vice president of Sony Entertainment, who is a rare conservative executive.

Of course, she didn't attack on behalf of the New York Times, as her husband did. In fact, she is a feminist, and in the 90s of the twentieth century, she led Columbia Pictures to launch a new wave of films, called 'chick movies', which are mostly female-centric, and men are known for taking a back seat to supporting roles.

For example, "Pink Federation", "Two-Faced Girl", "Breaking Baby", etc., are one of her masterpieces as a producer, it is said that she loved this kind of movie with women as the protagonist after watching "The Crazy Flower of the End", so she focused on making this kind of film, and it was also called "chicken movie".

He Fang met with Amy Pascal in the office of her Columbia company, and for this 55-year-old aunt-level woman, He Fang has always been gentle and elegant, and dare not underestimate it.

"He, our colleagues have already been in contact with your colleagues, and I believe you understand our thoughts. What do you think? Interested in working together? We trust your ability to make blockbusters, because not all directors can make four blockbusters in a row that can sell globally. ”

Amy asked directly.

"I also came here to find out what sincerity you have, cooperation is okay, sincerity? We are all adults, and we all know some things, you first fancy my filming ability, and secondly, you fancy the Chinese market, and hope to cooperate with me more. ”

He Fang is also very direct.

"Ha, doesn't it mean that the Chinese have always been very reserved? I didn't expect you to be so direct. ”

"Beautiful Ms. Amy, I have studied and worked in the United States for eight years, and I am not proficient in American culture, but I know it very well." He Fang raised the coffee on the table and stirred it, and then took a shallow sip.

"Well, you're all right. We can give you the highest director's fee, as well as a share of the box office. Of course, we can also help you distribute your films to the world like Warner, but we also hope that you can help us bring more films to China. Amy said.

In fact, she didn't make excessive demands, but put forward the same conditions as Warner.

"No, Ms. Amy, it's impossible for me to work with all the companies in Hollywood on equal terms. My condition with Warner was before, but now I'm not who I used to be. And I helped Fox make "X-Men" not because of the director's fee and box office share, but because they helped me.

The premise of my work with Warner and Fox is different, especially for you. What I lack now is the highest director's salary? What I'm missing is a global box office share? I'm not bad for money.

As for global distribution, we worked very well with Warner, and suddenly the global distribution business was separated, and they didn't think I was a person worth working with for a long time. Besides, the movie you invited me to make is a newly developed character movie from "The Amazing Spider-Man", which is equivalent to a new taste, using my global influence, I can help you develop a new character series more successfully, you are equivalent to a white glove empty wolf, and then there is nothing to do with me, this is not a sincere cooperation. ”

He Fang spoke softly, but it was very hard, and it was clear that it pierced Columbia's good calculations.

Amy Pascal didn't feel embarrassed at all after being poked, and spread her hands.

"Why do you want to come here if you don't agree?" She asked.

"Because I'm very interested in the character of Venom, I can help you develop a series of movies for this character, but I want the rights to the copyright in perpetuality. I developed the market for the character, so I must score a share of all the subsequent benefits of the character, otherwise I won't be able to help you innovate the market for free. ”

He Fang's plan is very ambitious, which scares Amy.

"No, it's impossible, first of all, this is Marvel's copyright, and secondly, we won't give the copyright proceeds in exchange for a director." Amy immediately shook her head in refusal.

"First of all, you invited me to be a director, you didn't just take me as an ordinary director, you just took a fancy to some of my values. Secondly, the success of Venom is in your favor. Yes, this series will become one of your money-making IPs for decades to come. No, you don't have much impact, after all, it's not an important character IP. You can also find another director to re-develop, and you can push the reason for the unsuccess of the first part to me. ”

After He Fang finished speaking, Amy shook her head, "But it's also good for you, shooting superhero movies is the face of top directors, and this is already the biggest benefit." ”

"Hehe, do you think I'll accept it happily like other directors if I give me a card? May I ask the beautiful Ms. Amy, can I earn this director's fee? Or can't get a film contract for a Marvel hero movie? Do you think that an existence like me, which is a super-first-class influence in Asia and China, will lose tens of millions of dollars in director fees?

My variety shows alone generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue a year, and I care about the director's fee of three or four million dollars? My self-developed blockbuster IP is now selling a billion dollars at the global box office, so I must make a superhero movie?

I'm going to take over the development of a new Venom character if it fails, do you know how much I'm going to lose at the global box office? Why should I take such a risk? Do you think I'm going to take that risk just for a director's fee you offered? ”

He Fang said and took out a cigarette from his pocket, then lit it, took a puff and looked at Amy with a smile.

Amy frowned, she didn't expect He Fang to be so difficult to handle, she thought that as long as she threw some broken bread, He Fang would come over like a dog like other Asians and wag his tail and kneel and lick it. But in fact, he is not, he is not a dog, he is not even a wolf, but a tiger.

"I'm sorry we can't." Amy shook her head.

"Okay, so ......, then goodbye, next time we have the opportunity to work together." There is no ambiguity about where he is, since he can't talk about it, then he just leaves.

"Young people, it's good to be ambitious, but you shouldn't worry about what you shouldn't be worried about, so I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it." Amy said playfully.

He Fang turned around when he heard this and smiled.

"No, beautiful lady Amy, I think you don't know enough about China and the Asian market, and you don't know enough about my position. You still see me as a simple director, or even an Asian director who can be exploited at any time.

For a new IP like "Venom", even if it can generate satisfactory revenue, it is only tens of millions of dollars a year, which is a small amount of money for me, I want sincerity, understand? ”

Seeing where he left, Amy gritted her molars, her face full of anger.

This is unacceptable to her, when can a Chinese speak with their heads held so high here? There were not a few Chinese films that cooperated with them back then, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Big Shot", "Kung Fu", "Yangtze River No. 7", etc., they had to bow back and forth when they saw the regional leaders of Colombia......

So...... Just as she was angry, the phone in her office rang.

"Amy, I heard that He Fang left unhappily from the company, why? Didn't talk about it? A dull voice came over the phone.

"Yes, chairman, he went too far, I asked for a perpetual copyright dividend for "Venom", which we can't do." Amy said.

"How exactly did you talk about it?"

"That's right......" Amy told the other party exactly where she was chatting with each other.

"This is a cunning wolf, it's not easy to trap him, I know, let me think again." After the phone was over, the other party hung up.

Amy Pascal put down the phone and rubbed her head, are young people so difficult to deal with now? Or is the Chinese getting tougher? Perhaps, as Paul Mozar said, it would be a mistake to let Chinese films rise?

Her thoughts were in turmoil, and just then, her 11-year-old son called...... Suddenly, Amy transformed into a loving mother who had grown old and had children......

And He Fang also got into Tong Weidong's car after going downstairs, and Du Chunsheng also sat on it.

He Fang didn't let them follow, so they could only wait below.

"How? Look at the look is not good? Du Chunsheng asked.

"Yes, there are always people who fantasize about filling up a liter of fuel in a plane and then being able to fly to the other side of the world and back." He made an inappropriate analogy.

"Forget it, big companies are actually not easy to cooperate, we are now working with some small production companies, we have the right to speak, we can do as much as we want." Du Chunsheng said.

"Uh-huh, let's go, next ......"
