Big names rise

Before He Mu came to the United States, Jeff said that he would not pay back the money, and he would give him some shares as compensation, and he also planned to accept the shares of Jeff's film company. Hollywood has implanted a Chinese branch, and maybe one day it will grow into a towering tree.In his mind, 700 million US dollars is not a lot of money in the United States, and it is almost enough to give him 5.00% to [-]% of the shares. This is the figure He Mu expected.

However, these two guys, Jeff and Robin, offered him 23% of the shares at once. If they accepted, He Mu would surpass Robin and become the second largest shareholder of the company, which made him a little embarrassed. Bin is the founder of Rubik's Cube Films, and he just "loaned" some money to them.

Jeff persuaded him not to be embarrassed, he deserved it, Robin also advised him, if he was embarrassed, it should be Robin. He was too prodigal, and He Mu was only one percentage point more than him. He even felt that this was unfair to He Mu, so he tried his best to persuade He Mu to accept these shares, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

In the end, He Mu still accepted the shares, but he took off the "Cold Heart" salary that should belong to him. In fact, it didn't have much money. It was just an attitude.

Although in China he can get 300 million or more, which is about 25 U.S. dollars, but he is not well-known in the United States. My understanding is limited to vague impressions of strength, "Chinese giants", and kung fu skills. Without continuous exposure, people will soon forget you. That is to say, He Mu has almost no box office appeal in the United States, and this movie can Whether it will be released in China is still unknown.After all, Wen Ziren hasn't released any movie that dared to release in the mainland, so He Mu's salary is very low, only 2 US dollars, which is the same as Scarlett Johansson's salary in "Iron Man [-]".

He Mu owns shares in an American film company and is the second shareholder of the company.This made Xiao Nan very excited, "Does that mean that the movies you make in China will also be released in the United States in the future?!"

"Of course not," He Mu poured cold water on Xiao Nan, "If it was that easy, Chinese films would have entered Hollywood long ago, and our compatriots are not short of money now. It is not difficult to buy one or two Hollywood film companies, but you Have you ever seen a successful case in this regard? Although I am the second shareholder of Rubik’s Cube Pictures, everything must obey the laws of the market. In recent years, Chinese films have not performed well in the North American market, which reflects the aesthetic orientation of the American crowd. At this time It is impossible for Rubik’s Cube to invest heavily in Chinese films. It is a thankless effort. Moreover, Rubik’s Cube’s distribution capacity is basically negligible. If we want to build this part of the capacity, this amount of money is not enough. Jeff just told me about "Cold The North American distribution of "Heart" may be handed over to a certain film giant, or even sold out to them."

"Ah, why is this?"

"It's nothing surprising. There are tens of thousands of American film companies. And many of them have made blockbuster movies. But if you look at last year's North American annual box office rankings, the top six distribution companies are well-known independent companies such as Lionsgate and Summit. There are almost no new faces in film companies, because they have produced their own films, and they either have no distribution channels, or have distribution channels but have no confidence in their distribution capabilities, so they are all distributed by large companies, although they have to share a large part of the distribution costs with the other party. , but it can make a leap in the box office. Otherwise, I am afraid that few theaters will deal with a small company and new company if they do the distribution themselves.” [

He Mu continued, "However, most of the copyrights of the movie are in our hands, including V, TV station broadcast and the right to make sequels. As long as the first movie is successful, the second movie will follow immediately. With the rights to the first movie With fame, we have a lot more autonomy in the second film, and we no longer need to rely on big companies even for distribution.”

"This movie is going to be made into a series!" Xiao Nan opened her mouth wide.

"Of course, as long as Hollywood movies are profitable and possible, they will almost always make sequels, but usually the lower the price, the higher the box office and the worse the reputation. But in the commercial age, it's enough to make money, right?" He Mu has seen I have discussed with directors and screenwriters, and Wen Ziren is not very interested in sequels. After making two of his own "Chain Saw", he didn't want to make sequels, but handed it over to other directors, but Ravenal did He is very interested in the sequel of "Cold Heart". He talked with He Mu in detail. He first summed up the highlights of "Cold Heart", and then how to transplant it into the second part. As long as the routine is summed up, Change some characters, change some scenes, and it is a brand new sequel movie. Before the filming started, He Mu had already talked with Lao Lei about the second part. Lao Lei said excitedly that not only Tao Quduo is an excellent He Mu didn't give up much, He Mu said modestly that this is nothing, because in his country there is an old man named Pu Songling who is better at writing such things.

Lao Lei excitedly said, "If I can go to China, I must visit this Mr. Pu!"

He Mu: "Uh,..."

He Mu stayed in the United States for a week. Fortunately, there is a Zeppelin here for him to drive, so he doesn't have to worry about transportation.Before he left, he waited until the filming of the film "Cold Heart" started. The preparatory work for this film was basically completed when he was at Lionsgate, so after the transfer to Rubik's Cube, the funds were sufficient and the filming started soon.

The weather in California, especially Los Angeles, is still relatively warm, and the film needs to go to a relatively cold place. Considering various factors such as venue rent and tax rebates, the crew found the cheapest and most suitable place in Washington State, which is located in the United States. The northwest corner, adjacent to Canada, is now the coldest time, and its most famous city is not the provincial capital Olympic, but Seattle.

The three main actors in this film are Joseph Gordon, Scarlett Johansson, and He Mu. He Mu finally met these two before the filming started. They will be partners for a long time and need a certain degree of cooperation. know each other.

He Mu can speak fluent English, which made Joseph and Scarlett breathe a sigh of relief. The communication problem they were worried about before no longer exists, so the atmosphere among the three leading actors has also become more active. He Mu can speak eloquently , even if the language is changed, Scarlett is bright and charming. Although she doesn't talk much, she listens carefully and is an indispensable conciliator on the scene. After Mu, he was still excited to compete with He Mu, "I really want to experience a Chinese giant. Hollywood male stars are clamoring to compete with you on Facebook, but they don't have my luck, Mu, you Can you satisfy me?" (To be continued.
