Entertainment tycoon since 83

With "The Lord of the Rings" finally in his hands, Huang Ze slept soundly.

The next day, after getting up from bed, Huang Ze focused his attention on "The Sixth Sense".

The male lead, the female lead, and the children have all been found.

Now we are still missing a girlfriend for the male protagonist.

There aren't many scenes.

But Huang Ze is aiming for a high box office, so he certainly can't hire someone unknown.

Look for Uma Thurman.

Huang Ze really doesn't want Uma Thurman and Jennifer to be in the same crew now.

And she has such a hard look to her.

Need something softer.

"Try Sophie."

At least let others know that I am not like Harvey, a freeloader.

If you are willing to give something, you will always get something in return.

This way I can live up to my reputation as a righteous young man!

It’s a good opportunity to relive old memories.

Huang Ze did what he said. He picked up his phone and dialed the number the other party left last time.

After a while, the call was connected.

Huang Ze didn't say much.

"Sophie, do you have time? In the first half of this year, I will be filming a movie. There is a second female role. I think you can try it."

"Who is the heroine?"

"Jennifer, technically the male lead is Jack Chen, and you play Jack Chen's wife."

"No problem!" Sophie Marceau couldn't refuse.

She spends too much time in the European film industry.

Hollywood can only be said to have tried it out by riding the bus of "Brave Heart".

She had to agree to work with Jackie Chan, who is very popular nowadays, and Huang Ze, who has been popular for several years and almost all of his commercial films have grossed over 100 million yuan.

"Okay then. I'll have the company send an invitation to your agent."

"Thank you."

"polite!"

……

Now that "The Lord of the Rings" has been acquired, "Rush Hour 2" does not need to promote itself any more. The current momentum alone is enough to attract audiences who are willing to watch this film into the theaters.

Huang Ze prepared to go home.

This month, Huang Ze has to wait for the birth of his new son.

"Dong dong dong."

Just after Huang Ze made a phone call to ask his assistant to buy a plane ticket, there was a knock on the hotel door.

"Huang, it's me."

"Oh, George?" Huang Ze recognized the other person's voice, stood up and opened the door.

"what happened?"

"Must I have something to ask you?" George said with a smile on his face, "Just to chat?"

"Okay, sit down."

"Your new film?" George didn't finish, just started.

"You mean The Sixth Sense?"

"Yes." George nodded. "What are the conditions for your cooperation with Miramax? We at Warner can give them to you too!"

"Besides, whether it's awards or box office, our distribution capabilities are obviously stronger, aren't they?"

“I want to know, what are we doing wrong?”

"I didn't think that much!" Huang Ze spread his hands.

"I just think this film is too risky and I don't want to hurt my friendship with Warner Bros."

"Next time I'm going to make a commercial film, I'll definitely ask Warner to distribute it!"

"There is also Rush Hour 3 which will be released at an unknown time in the future." Huang Ze directly drew a pie in the air.

"You mean the risk is relatively high?" George asked. "Jennifer's heroine, the Oscar-winning actress curse, who knows if it will affect her?"

"Jackie Chan became famous in North America for his action comedies. This time he is acting in a very ordinary drama, and the character's martial arts skills are actually at the level of an ordinary person."

"Look, is this film risky?"

"Okay." George had to admit that what Huang Ze said made some sense.

This movie really doesn't have the potential to be a big hit.

its not right!
"But you're Jaune!"

"I believe that the film you shoot will be a big hit!"

"Thank you for your trust." Huang Ze smiled, "I don't trust myself as much as you trust me."

"So, are there any other reasons?" George took out a cigarette and handed it to Huang Ze, "Tell me in the name of a friend."

"What I just said is one reason."

"Besides that reason, another reason is that I got the adaptation rights of a novel from Harvey."

"If Warner Bros. could open up its script and film libraries for me to choose from, things could actually turn around."

"No, that's it." Hearing this, George shook his head. "The script library is the lifeblood of a production company. If I submit such an application to you, I will definitely be scolded to death."

"Hmm!" Huang Ze spread his hands and shrugged in American style.

What's the point of talking about that?
I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf.

and.

"It doesn't seem illegal for me to cooperate with others, right?"

"I haven't seen Spielberg's films only cooperate with Universal." Huang Ze narrowed his eyes, slowly raised his head and looked at George.

"Of course it's not illegal."

"I've said this before, I just thought we didn't do a good enough job in releasing Rush Hour 2, so I came to ask you." George started talking.

In fact, he was worried that Huang Ze would give up cooperating with Warner.

After all, Huang Ze is related to his grades.

"Speed ​​2" failed, and he made a comeback with "Rush Hour 2", but his self-confidence has not returned yet.

If Huang Ze doesn't cooperate with him in the future, he really can't imagine his future.

Can he still have the right to speak as the number one person below the current president of Warner Bros. Pictures?

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "I apologize for my recklessness. Can we have a meal together?"

"I'll treat you. Just order food." Huang Ze waved his hand. "By the way, are you interested in the filming rights for the sequel to Rush Hour?"

"Ok?"

George was suddenly excited.

"Rush Hour 2" has just achieved such a huge success, and Huang Ze is willing to sell the filming rights for the sequel?

However, the excitement only lasted for a few seconds, and George shuddered.

He thought of "Speed ​​2", and it was also Huang Ze who sold the rights to the sequel.

The company happily accepted it, and then suffered huge losses.

Could it be that Huang Ze did this because he felt that the sequel to "Rush Hour" was a failure?

After thinking for more than ten seconds, George put on a flattering smile.

"Huang, has the potential of Rush Hour 2 been exhausted?"

"Who knows?" Huang Ze smiled.

"If you ask me, this movie's sequel has the potential to make over 100 million yuan at the box office no matter what."

It's just that the actors' pay will squeeze the profit margin to death.

He has already cancelled his film contracts with Jackie Chan and Will Smith.

If you want to shoot the third film, you have to renegotiate your salary.

The two of them know their importance in this series, so it would be impossible for them not to ask for a huge price.

Twenty million for one person and forty million for two people.

This is the starting price.

After all, in the previous life, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker alone shared 80 million US dollars.

After all, this movie has two male protagonists, neither of them can be missing. (End of this chapter)
