my crew is not human

Chapter 669 You are all wage earners

In the hotel, Li Xianyun leisurely drank his coffee and read the newspaper.

The phone rings.

Li Xianyun signaled to Jiang Yuanyuan to take it over, Jiang Yuanyuan's English was not bad, she said a few words to Li Xianyun, "It's President O'Connor, he wants to meet you."

"Tell him there's no need to meet, just ask him what's the matter." Li Xianyun said without raising his head.

What's there to see?You give me what I want from me, and I give you what you want.

There will be no promises, everything is a tacit understanding.

Jiang Yuanyuan said a few more words into the phone, and then said: "Mr. O'Connor said that he has fired Qiao Geli, and no one will use him in Hollywood in the future. He asked you, what else do you need his help for?" of?"

"Well, tell him, two. One: I need a batch of copyright releases."

Universal is a big company with many films.If these films are to be released domestically, copyright fees must be paid.

It is impossible for Li Xianyun to ask for money blatantly, that is blackmail.So it's simpler, just give me your film and television works at a low price.

Li Xianyun continued: "In addition, I need a group of foreign actors who are willing to go to Huaguo. The number of them is about [-]. They don't need to be too famous, and their acting skills are allowed to be poor, but their image and temperament must be excellent and have their own characteristics. , It doesn’t have to be handsome and beautiful, Hollywood’s muscular tough guys and old men are all good.”

In all fairness, there are not many decent tough guys in Huaguo. Of course Zhang Hanyu and Wu Da are good directors, but there are too few of them. A big man like Stallone is almost impossible to find.

But Hollywood itself admires tough guys, not only that, but also a lot of handsome old men, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, who doesn't get more handsome with age?On the other hand, this type of people in the local area is also very rare. There are a lot of old actors, but they all have big eye bags and dry skin.However, Chen Daoming also has his own limitations. His personality is Confucianism, so he can't play a middle-aged and elderly tough guy-there is no such kind in China. I don't know what will happen to Zhang Hanyu when he gets old.

Forget about women, they still prefer local tastes.

So this time when it comes to imported goods, Li Xianyun is more inclined to men, and even older men.

O'Connor did not expect that Li Xianyun would make such a request. The copyright is easy to say, although it is a low price, but in fact he is also making money.Why not sell it?It is easier to accept than directly paying real money.

The problem is that you still need actors, Hollywood actors are not under our control.

Fortunately, Li Xianyun doesn't care where you find people, even if they are part-timers in restaurants, hotel parking, wrestling competitions, rugby teams, diving teams, as long as you can find them and meet my needs, I can take them. !
If the film and television academy requires cross-border ability, then the first choice for this overseas selection is image!
It must have an outstanding image, and it will feel like a wrist when you stand there!

O'Connor also understood after hearing it.

Well, Universal is now an agent.

Ask Jiang Yuanyuan about how long it will take, Jiang Yuanyuan replied after asking: "Mr. O'Connor, the boss doesn't care how long it takes you to solve the problem. If you want, it doesn't matter if it takes three years." .He can afford to wait, as long as you can afford to wait too."

That is to say, when he finds the person he wants, the film can come back.

Realizing this, O'Connor heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as you have the promise.

Putting down the phone, O'Connor said to the secretary: "Contact CAA, WMA and ICM, and ask them to help us find some actors, no, it's a direct buyout, the price is negotiable..."

"Damn it! Are we here to make a movie? Or are we here to play the autumn breeze?"

In the restaurant, Xuandong and Li Xianyun had dinner together.

He shook his head again and again.

There were only two filmings of this special girl, and they turned two film and television companies into wage earners.

One is for Yisheng Media to find an optical splitter manufacturer, and the other is for Yisheng Media to find an artist.

"This is society. In a foreign land, everyone can bully you. But they are unlucky to meet someone who is not afraid of being bullied." Li Xianyun said with a steak in his mouth.

"What if they come hard? Call the police and arrest you?"

"We have all left for an hour, and there is no public holiday. After all, the United States is still a place of rule of law."

"A place covered with legal leather, think about how Alstom was brought down?" Xuandong reminded.

Alstom This can be regarded as one of the most notorious incidents in the United States.

Alstom is a French company. Just like Apple in the United States and Sony in Japan, it is a pillar industry in France. It is also known as the world's three major energy giants together with General Motors of the United States and Siemens of Germany.

In order to bring down the company and settle competitors, the Americans arrested Alstom executive Pierucci when he entered the country. The charge turned out to be that he bribed Indonesian officials!

Indonesian officials!

This reason is also really awesome.

The reason for being able to do this is the "long-arm jurisdiction" of the Americans. The so-called long-arm jurisdiction means that as long as you use their technology, they are qualified to manage it.

So does Holographic Video use their technology?

No!

But the supplier has it!

So this creates a problem: I can deal with you by dealing with suppliers.

If you are shameless, you can also make an extension: your supplier has our technology, so your product has our technology.

Are Americans so shameless?

Of course there is!

So even if Li Xianyun swears, but if you underestimate the bottom line of the Americans because of this, you will make a big mistake.

Of course Li Xianyun didn't think they would do this now.

Americans care far less about upper-level economics than about infrastructure.

In contrast, film and television are not so important, and it is not necessary to tear off the face for this.

But this is not easy to say.

Because another issue involved in film and television is cultural export-as much as China welcomes cultural export, the United States is more vigilant about cultural export.

So they also started tik tok, ByteDance's overseas version of Douyin.

And Yisheng Media even has holographic imaging equipment technology, and it will officially output all-round in the near future.

To put it bluntly, he is not engaged now because the holographic image and cultural output have not been activated, but once activated, it may not be long before Li Xianyun and even the executives of Yisheng Media may become the next one to be caught without reason catch target.

Especially this time he moved Universal Pictures. If Universal Pictures wants to retaliate, just tell the above Yisheng Media that it has powerful hacking capabilities, which is enough to make Americans vigilant and even do it.

But not now!

The time is too short, the political reflection arc is long, and even if Universal Pictures really wants to engage him, they have to wait until they get the film, and it must be confirmed that they can resist Li Xianyun's invasion!

Thinking of this, Li Xianyun said: "Let the sudden death ghost pay attention later. If there is any movement, we can prepare in advance."

Xuandong said: "Then you might as well ask him to look up other information, maybe you can get a lot of business secrets."

"That's not in line with the principle of Sudden Death Ghost, and it's not a good thing. Businessmen try not to get involved in politics. In essence, the invasion is for self-protection, not for harm."

"Then what you did to Universal Pictures is also self-protection?"

"Oh, that's called fairness." Li Xianyun smiled: "The face of the world's richest man in the future is still relatively valuable, isn't it? Besides, I just let them run errands."

Xuan Dongbi gave Li Xianyun a middle finger.

I believe you are evil.

You came to the country of the United States and thought that everyone here was an enemy, so you let go of the fun.

I reckon the other party will give you two more fists, and you have to do all the murders!
