my crew is not human

Chapter 507 The plan to go to sea

The car came to a remote small white building.

This is the headquarters of Baike Company.

Even the overseas publishing company they jointly established is actually here, in a small room downstairs, with little assets, and the main employees are people from Baike Company.

People use their own people to do your work by the way, and the profits are net.

However, apart from breaking the army, there is no other cooperation for the time being.

Li Xianyun came here this time to see if he could be sublimated.

Baike Company is not a first-tier factory in Hollywood, and even in the second-tier it is relatively bottom.

From the very beginning, Li Xianyun did not seek to cooperate with big coffees, because the bigger the coffees, the higher the requirements, which means the decline of their right to speak.

So whether it is looking for a company or a director, I like to start from the small and medium level.

The same is true for Baike company.

When I came to Baike Company at this moment, I met with several high-level executives first, and then everyone came to the meeting room together.

The chairman of Baike is Emory, a chubby white old man.

At this moment, after hearing Charles' brief statement, Emory murmured a lot, and translated beside him: "Chairman Emory thinks your idea is very interesting. But they still hope to cooperate with you on the technical level."

"No, there will be no technical cooperation, let alone technology transfer." Li Xianyun shook his head directly: "There is no condition to talk about."

The translator relayed, and said after a while: "What kind of cooperation model do you want?"

"Huami co-produces, the production is done by us, and the distribution in the US is done by you. In addition, the screenwriter will use you as the main body. First, the English version of the script will be made, and then the Chinese version will be revised."

"This means that Baike Company will become a subordinate party, and we will not have the right to speak in this regard."

"I thought the most important thing for you should be to make money." Li Xianyun came over and said, "You don't need to think about how to make movies, and the risks you take are the least. The only thing you need to do is to take advantage of your landlords, We have cleared obstacles in policy and other aspects, the smallest investment, the biggest return!"

"Mr. Li Xianyun, shooting movies in the United States is not only a policy issue, but also many issues. Including the Actors Association, Screenwriters Association, Directors Association, insurance companies, and animal protection organizations..." The translator continued to translate .

Li Xianyun waved his hand to stop him: "No, these problems don't exist. Except for the screenwriter, I don't need anything. Insurance companies don't need it either. Unless it's filming here, most of them will be filmed in China. In the United States only It’s fine if you need to shoot some exterior scenes, and all the interior scenes can be done in Huaguo.”

"But this is not a co-production. What about actors? Without actors from the United States, what kind of co-production is it?" Everyone was surprised.

"Of course there will be." Li Xianyun said with a smile: "Hua also has American students, don't they? They are also American, but they are not American actors. But if they are used, they are."

A group of high-level visitors looked at each other in dismay: "There are no celebrities? Then how can they sell?"

Li Xianyun is very sure: "There may be stars, but there are definitely no Hollywood stars. I know how expensive their pay is, and I know how annoying those industry associations are. I won't make trouble for myself. I just need The content is in line with the acceptance of American culture, and the coffee position is not needed!"

It can be said that Li Xianyun's thinking is completely opposite to the current thinking of the film and television industry! ! !

Now that Huaguo's film and television industry is making co-productions, the stars must have foreign celebrities, and the script is based on domestic cultural tendencies.

But Li Xianyun is determined not to use foreign celebrities, but the script can be close to American culture.

The whole one works in reverse.

Because in his opinion, the cost savings of this reverse operation is not one or two points.

Taking the Great Wall as an example, Guoshi’s masterpiece invested one billion yuan but ended up with a huge loss.

why?
Although Matt Dumber is well-known in China, its domestic appeal is limited after all, and the plot with China's ancient history and culture as the main body has a limited audience abroad.

It's not good on both sides.

Conversely, I don’t use big names from abroad, but I can film stories about Chinese in the West—why do Westerners have to go to the East to be heroes?Easterners can also go to the West to be heroes.

The big deal is that the two heroes are side by side, one from the West and the other from the East.

In the west, the gun brush speeder is used as an ADC, and in the east, the kung fu melee happy wind sword is output as a mid laner.

Work hard!
Isn't that the case with Brother Long's?

Hollywood has long had this kind of routine, and Americans can accept it no matter how stupid they are.

It is easier and easier to sell back home.

The cost is still low.

It's not that much of a mess to shoot.

The Great Wall is also a domestic shoot, and if it is sent to the United States, the cost will be much higher.

Li Xianyun's thinking made the senior executives of the Baike company collectively confused, but thinking about it...it seems to make sense.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether it is reasonable or not. The key point is that the film seems to be co-produced, but it is actually the main focus of Huaguo. The so-called co-produced is just to better open up the American market.

Co-authoring means we work for you?

Li Xianyun understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yisheng Media still has something to interest you."

Ok?
Everyone looked at him puzzled.

Li Xianyun said: "In the past two years of cooperation, I believe that you have a certain understanding of Yisheng Media, but I don't know if you know about house collapse insurance?"

A group of foreigners shook their heads collectively.

They really don't know about it.

Speaking of it, Lao Mi has always been like this. If they are interested in learning more about other countries, there will be no so-called "mysterious east". There is such a huge country there, and its products are supplied to the whole world. Why are you still "mysterious" ?
Li Xianyun didn't talk nonsense, and directly showed them the head-changing video of Yufeng Chai.

As soon as the film was released, all the high-level executives stared at it instantly.

fuck!

Is this a head swap?

Are you sure this wasn't filmed in two parts?
Don't pay attention to the plot, just look at the characters on both sides and compare them repeatedly.

Although Wu Guo and He Junwei had their heads changed, the others did not.

The movements and expressions are exactly the same, which proves that this is indeed a head change.

Everyone looked at Li Xianyun in surprise.

This technique...

It's too bullshit.

There are also Hollywood stars who have collapsed.

However, the general public doesn't have that high a requirement for celebrities, so those who collapse their houses are generally breaking the law. As long as they don't break the law, it's generally not a big deal.

But Hollywood has another way of thinking.

That is the face-changing method that Li Xianyun did not perform in order to create stars.

According to this technique, I can just find an actor and finish the filming, and just change the face!
Because He Junwei's acting skills are better than Wu Guo's, he still has to perform. But if you don't pursue body movements, find an actor to make some expressions, and post a few posts, and the problem will be solved.

Which is the most expensive shot in Marvel?
Well known as the last funeral scene in Marvel 4.

It is extremely difficult to gather all the big names together.

With this... are you afraid of a ball?

The actors who participated in the performance are well scheduled, and those who did not participate can also be named and stick to their faces.You can change people at any time if you want, and it is more convenient for the producer to choose the actors.

The shooting method that Li Xianyun can't use has suddenly become a treasure here in Hollywood.

Seeing their horrified expressions, Li Xianyun said: "I can exclusively authorize it to you."
