the longest dream

Chapter 297 Conspiracy to Hollywood

Early the next morning, Zhang Qing, Zhang Lan, Zhang Qian, Zhou Zhou, Yue Linger, Yue Shan, Yue Shui and other two cars headed for the airport together.

Originally, Zhang Qing also wanted to take Sun Haiping along, but now she and a few security family members are taking care of more than a dozen children, and she doesn't like to go out, so she didn't force it.

For Yue Shan and Yue Shui, Yue Linger paid their salary in advance to cover their expenses for going to Hong Kong Island.

Compared with before, Yue Ling'er is already very confident.

Her self-confidence is not blind, but based on her deeper and deeper learning and mastery of music, which makes her confident that she will use her achievements to repay Zhang Qing and gain wealth in the future.

When they arrived at the airport, they joined Sun Kuohai and his party and boarded the plane to Shanghai together.

"Qingzai, I'm going to the United States when I'm done with my return. I have a movie to shoot. Are you interested in going to Hollywood?"

On the plane, Sun Kuohai insisted on sitting with Zhang Qing, and started talking about movies after sitting down.

It was meant to be polite, but I wanted to show off, but Zhang Qing actually said seriously: "Brother Kuo Hai, have you seen the movie "Ghost Baby" in 87?"

Sun Kuohai smiled and said: "Of course, I read a lot of movies. I will watch any Hollywood movie with a box office of more than [-] million. My family has countless videotapes."

Zhang Qing said: "Then do you know Director Chris Hughes?"

Sun Kuohai smiled and said: "Of course! Although he is not an A-level director and has never made a real blockbuster, he is quite talented among B-level directors. It is a pity that the response of several films in a row has been mediocre... What's wrong?"

Sanmao said, "You want to ask me to make a movie."

"..."

Yue Linger was stunned, she looked at Shao Shan and said, "He wants to make a movie with Kerwais Hughes?"

Before being confirmed again, Yue Linger smiled and said: "Qingzi, the United States is China, Hollywood is also the mainland market, and even the Hong Kong Island market. This outsider is very sophisticated, you must not listen to these people's nonsense, say This place is full of gold, and there is no spirit of contract, as long as you work hard, you can make a fortune. Then tell him, Wall Street funds have tried to withdraw Hollywood for a share of the pie several times, but every time they were cheated, they got their money back. Wall Street It’s all like that, let alone the capital of Liguo?”

Sanmao said seriously: "He thinks that's the way to go... You can write the script, and you can draw the shots. Set up a film company in the United States, just like "Shao Shanshun", and invite Ke Weisihusi to shoot two consecutive films. Because it is a big-budget film, except for the director Fei Guili, all the actors need a celebrity. Hollywood knows a lot about such a crew, so naturally no one cares. Kerwais Hughes' reputation is wrong, Right?"

Yue Ling'er nodded and said: "That's true, does that person have any such messy rumors?"

Sanmao smiled and said, "You will invite Sister Zhao to be the producer, so the crew will go too far."

Yue Linger said: "What about distribution? Distribution is the most important thing."

Shao Shandao: "You know that distribution requires a small amount of money, including copy money, publicity expenses, etc. For small directors, small companies, such as the eight small film companies, we all have our own distribution companies and publicity channels, and we have no backs. TV station. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the publicity and distribution, and directly deduct [-]% to [-]% of the box office as the publicity and distribution fee. But for other independent films, if you want to do publicity and distribution, you have to pay for it yourself Advance payment, unless the movie will be a small hit, the distribution company is willing to advance payment, but there are many such situations. As a result, there are very few independent movies, big-budget movies, occasional one-day trips to theaters, and even a small number of audiences. Know that there is no release of that movie.

Therefore, you will prepare a small amount of money for publicity. "

Yue Linger was surprised and said: "Qingzai, is he afraid of losing money? You always dare to use your own money to invest in Hollywood, never once. You dare in Hong Kong Island, but you really dare in Hollywood. After the movie is released , everyone knows it will be a small sale. If it is a small sale, the hard work of this life will be exhausted!"

Sanmao smiled and said: "Brother, he thinks you are young? Even if you fall, you still have a chance to get up. But if you are going to fight for it, you will go to Hollywood, which has a low degree of marketization and the lowest maturity. Chuang, how can you really know where the gap between the two sides is? He is worried, and you can afford it."

Yue Ling'er was in a hurry, so she accepted the statement that she knew the sky was low and the earth was thick. After thinking about the income of "Zhang Qingxiao", and the income of Sanmao's record and peripheral sales in Asia, it can really be compensated. I can afford [-] to [-] million US dollars, I paused, and said: "What he said is unreasonable, you are so young, you can do such a small business, tens of millions of US dollars is a half-life struggle for you, For him, it's just a year or two...why do you want to make two consecutive films?"

Sanmao smiled and said: "The two films are closely related, and if the first film is a small hit, it will be less troublesome to shoot the seventh film. Without the seventh film in hand, the settlement of the first film can also be settled later."

Yue Ling'er laughed and said, "You've really given in to their young people's drive, you dare to think too much! You know everything, so let's think about what to do before Xiaomai."

It's almost like saying bluntly that Sanmao got carried away.

Sanmao also explained, smiling and said: "You will go to the United States with your boyfriend at the end of April, and then set up a film company. At that time, I will need my brother's help, and I will contact Kerwais Hughes."

Shao Shanshun said with a naive smile: "Yes! He is a young man now, you must help him with that! During the publicity, you can find a few friends to help him out. Sigh, I really envy him, so young, so unmotivated !"

Sanmao smiled and said, "Thank you."

Bai Kezhi in the back row turned around and said, "Qingduo, you want to talk to him about the script he sent you next time."

Shao Shan shook his head and said, "This book can only be pondered by Bai Dao alone, and he has to think it through. "Zhang Qingxiao" is the peak of Bai Dao's movie box office. Such a book should allow him to climb up again. A low peak. It needs to be filmed slowly, carefully polished, and strive for perfection. Including props, costumes, and art, all must be perfect. Yanyan plays the male lead, and he can scold him as he pleases. Don’t be afraid to scold and cry, scold It's good for you to be cruel. In short, that book must be made into a timeless classic. The tone is romantic, sad, beautiful, but refined. There should be no passion scenes, but it makes people feel love of beauty."

Yue Ling'er was not surprised: "Is he willing to let Yanyan do a love scene?"

Shao Shan said, "You are an actor!"

Yue Ling'er had a look of "he's coaxing ghosts": "They're all women, what is he talking to you about?"

San Mao felt a little embarrassed, coughed dryly and said, "The heroine is Rong Duo."

Sun Haorong, looking at her as a woman, she looks even more enchanting than a man...

Yue Ling'er laughed and said: "You know it! So, you always ask him for Yanyan to film, it's a shame to offend him!"

Sanmao shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

Yue Ling'er didn't bother to talk to me, and talked about the Hong Kong Island film industry, and gave Sanmao a detailed introduction to the various small hills, as well as some theaters, but the strength is weak, and I provoke the weak people.

"You little senior brother, known as Bamao, wow, I have always saved some face for you. What can you do? You grew up together when you were young, and I beat you until you were young. Like a brother, can you still turn your face? "

Shao Shanshun complained.

Sanmao smiled and said, "It's Huang Deyuan, Brother Huang, right? With Brother Kuohai's current status, he should be afraid of me."

Shao Shanshun shook his head and said, "Hey, you are a big brother, a brother of the world, how can you change your mind just because of your low status? When you just finished directing and filming, a bunch of gangsters came to collect the land fee. How could you agree? Here? Wow, this group of people came to beat you one by one, and someone dared to help you. At that time, Ba Mao was filming in the next door, and I heard the previous person rushed to help you. Fortunately, I remember sending Yan Wu to find a group Master Dragon and Tiger came to the rescue, and you all worked together to beat these rotten boys away. Qingzi thought, what does it mean that Bamao can rush back to help you alone in this situation?"

Sanmao was not touched and said: "It means that my little brother is really wrong."

Yue Linger smiled and said: "Yes, it's been the same since I was a child. Outside my home, I beat you hard. But inside, I allow the people inside to touch one of your fingers. Hong Kong Island is so There are so few clubs, so few rotten guys, pointing a gun at Zhao Mingyu for filming, forcing Li Qifa to work for free, Yu Mingbo's manager has been killed, how could anyone dare to trouble you? It's because the little brother led your brothers to split up!"

Sanmao said enviously: "The relationship between growing up and growing up together is indeed the same."

Yue Linger smiled and revealed her true colors: "Look at her and say, if I want to make a co-production, you can stop me. Bai Kezhi and Zhao Lin are also difficult for us to do, and he doesn't understand much."

Zhao Lin turned her head and said with a smile, "Kuohai is the little brother, and Bamao is the little brother."

Sanmao shook his head and said, "The [-]s was my heaven. Back in the [-]s, I really followed the audience's thinking."

Yue Ling'er's scalp was numb, and she smiled wryly: "Please, he is your little brother's right, don't be so direct! It's really embarrassing, it's so hard for you to be in the middle!"

Sanmao smiled and said, "How should I put it... Forget it. For his sake, Du Juan will write the book and invest. Let me direct and act in a play, how about it?"

That person has rich experience, good acting skills, and mediocre acting, but the aura outside his mind is empty, and his background has been exhausted in the [-]s and [-]s.

If you give a good book, you can still make a good movie in a satisfactory manner.

Yue Linger naturally thanked, and said with a smile: "Qingzai is worried, even if you go to Hollywood, as long as there are no Bamao around, there will be people outside the Hong Kong Island film circle who would dare to bully him."

Sanmao smiled and said, "Is there anyone who can bully you?"

Shao Shanshun reminded: "Be careful. The co-production qualifications are out of his hands. Naturally, he will be [-] unhappy if he can get the qualifications. If he gets the qualifications, he guesses we will go crazy? Don't be careless. , Fortunately, he will return soon, and he has such a strong security guard in his hands, so it is really safe. Some people are so bad, so bad that he thinks it will happen. We think he broke our hair. The way to make money is the same as killing our parents. By the way, his people, especially Yanyan, should generally be protected."

Sanmao smiled and said, "Naturally. Your security force is weaker than yours."
