China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 33 Finalizing Investments
Liu Yifei agreed.

The script is good and that's enough.

With the opportunity in Hollywood right in front of them, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were not sure whether there would be such an opportunity in the future.

"Director Guan, I want to take over this movie." Liu Yifei called.

"From now on, I have to coordinate the schedule for Japan, Korea and Sony. If director Guan needs it, I can join the cast at any time, and I am always ready to accept all the director's requests."

The little girl became serious and her voice on the phone was very serious.For this movie, she is willing to try to coordinate time with Sony.

"Okay, wait for my news." Guan Ling nodded. He also wanted to contact investors and go to Beautiful Country to identify other actors and coordinate schedules.

Since he decided to make the movie "Hearing Girl", Guan Ling decided that he would use this movie to compete for the Oscar.

Guan Ling wants to use this movie as a stepping stone for him to go to Hollywood.

So he needs to go to Hollywood to shoot. He wants to make an authentic American movie!Let Americans campaign for this movie!

Therefore, except for the change of the heroine, he made almost no changes to the script of this movie.

The connotations of Chinese and American culture are different, and Guan Ling knew that any changes could cause a fatal blow to the film.Guan Ling's main goal is to compete for Oscar awards, so the American part cannot be missed.

But he wanted to leave his mark in Hollywood, so a Chinese actor became the best choice.

As for taking the script to the United States to seek investment or make a gambling agreement, Guan Ling couldn't help but sneer. Most of 90.00% of directors in Hollywood have no control over their movies.The final editing rights are controlled by others, so who cares about the director?

Scripts, novels, what the heck?

Rowling has a lot to say.

This is also the reason why there are many independent films in the United States.

The Paramount Act a long time ago seemed to have restrained the six giants, but in fact they just changed their model.

It has control over the distribution of theaters in the United States, and also has the most accurate actuary for movie box office estimates.They will spare no effort to squeeze out the last bit of profit from a movie that will become a hit.

Is "Red Zone" awesome?Brother Cheng Long shocked the world and was directly bought out by Hollywood for US$500 million. He then resold it and made 30 times the profit through theatrical release and DVD release.

In Hollywood, and even in the United States as a whole, sorry, it’s really the other people who have the final say!

Even when Jesus and God were filming a movie in the United States, they had to be stripped.

Guan Ling is not so awesome that he thinks he can fight against the Six Majors with the help of prophet, that is pure nonsense.

Therefore, it is essential to pay the tuition. After paying the tuition, they will think that they can become one of their own, establish an independent production company, write a few awesome scripts, become a big director, get some investment shares, and get some If you share the box office share, you can eat whatever you want from someone else's fingers, and the other party won't be in trouble.

When the Chinese market explodes, the other party may have to ask Guan Ling to direct it.

This is what Guan Ling has been thinking about during this period. Guan Ling has done enough to make the heroine of this movie directly Chinese.

There is another reason for Guan Ling's decision, and that is that although this movie is a typical American style, it is suitable for any audience around the world, because it is a healing movie.

There is no nonsense, no procrastination, only sincerity, only touching.

A movie that focuses on family, disability, responsibility and dreams, just like Forrest Gump, old wine is put in new bottles. It is not deliberately sensational, but it will still make people shed tears involuntarily after watching it.

Guan Ling knows very well that he can incorporate many Asian styles into it, but that is meaningless. His goal is to become famous in Hollywood. When he has made a name for himself, just like Wu Baige, then all the benefits of making movies will be lost. Style will be peeled off and classified into a typical feature.

Therefore, after finalizing Liu Yifei, Guan Ling set off back to the capital.

China Film Group has taken a first look at the follow-up production of "The Devotion of Suspect X". At this time, the editing of the film has reached the final stage. It is estimated that the final cut will be completed in another month.When the film is completed, watched, and the schedule is determined, I hope that the box office of this film will also give my new film a certain bonus to a certain extent.After a while, Han Zheng appeared and asked Mr. Han to invite him.

Entering the house, Mr. Han had just had his hair cut. When he saw that his uncle was no longer in the house, he looked very energetic.

"You came to me from home in a hurry. Is there a new movie?"

Someone in the room came up and poured two cups of tea for the two of them. Mr. Han was sitting on the sofa, not looking very happy.

He is not very happy. He has a Chinese-language blockbuster in front of him, and the new movie he invested in has suffered a disaster. It even spawned a popular Internet meme, which makes Mr. Han difficult to maintain his face.

"How can a human being be so shameless?"

Recently, this hot meme has been used everywhere on the Internet, and Mr. Han even overheard others say it in the China Film Building.

This hit Poet Chen in the face every time, but he was protected by a golden palm and had thick blood, but the mountain eagle of Zhongying felt embarrassed.

It felt like every slap after slap was challenging him.

"I did write a movie," Guan Ling looked at Mr. Han, "but the total investment is relatively high."

Mr. Han sat up straight and said, "Blockbusters? I just like big ones."

Guan Ling presented the script, an English script with a Chinese translation written underneath.

With just one glance, Mr. Han was shocked, "Are you going to Hollywood?"

Guan Ling nodded.

Mr. Han was very good at cultivating his energy. Although his eyelids were raised, he still stabilized himself and started reading the script.

After watching the movie at the last party, Mr. Han opened his mouth and said, "Except for the heroine, are you going to use all American actors? Instead of Chinese actors?"

"I have decided on the female lead, Liu Yifei. Everyone else will choose in the United States." Guan Ling answered affirmatively.

"You are giving me test questions again." Mr. Han pointed at Guan Ling, "Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was produced by an American film company, all of them were domestic actors. You are trying to attract investment in China. , and then went to foreign countries to shoot, using foreigners, this is really the first time. Before they went to Hollywood, they always attracted investment there. "

"I'm going to take their investment. When the time comes, the global copyright revenue and box office revenue will belong to others, and we at China Film Group will not be able to eat meat." Guan Ling also drank tea with a smile.

"Eating meat?" Mr. Han smiled bitterly, "I've been starving and losing weight recently." "The Promise" still had a big impact on him.

After waiting for a while, Master Han raised his head and said seriously: "How confident are you?"

"To say confidence is a lie," Guan Ling shook his head, "The investment in this script will cost me at least 750 million US dollars, so my original intention was to win over people through the relationship with Director Han. If the family can’t afford it, we can diversify our investments.”

Director Han was also under pressure, and Guan Ling indeed gave him a difficult problem.

Especially at this moment, if Guan Ling's plan fails, then his title will be even more unstable.

"How do you plan to invest in Lingyun Media?" Mr. Han asked Guan Ling. This guy always reserved a lot of shares for himself before.From Guan Ling's investment, he could feel Guan Ling's confidence.

"One million US dollars." Guan Ling said.

He only had about so much money.Mr. Han also knew it very well.

"Wait a moment," Mr. Han sat on the sofa and called his secretary to come in. "Go and contact Mr. Wang from Huayi and Mr. Yu from Bona and ask them to come over. Right now."

Then the third master turned to look at Guan Ling and said firmly: "This movie has been cast by China Film."
