Chapter 707
Zhou Xia returned to the banquet hall again, and it lasted for more than an hour. People left one after another. Seeing that it was 23:20, there were less than [-] people left.

Seeing Xiaohu not far away, Zhou Xia was still pulling Yang Tianbao to chat with several actresses, so he couldn't help thinking about it.

If you can find an opportunity to have a face-to-face meeting with her, it is naturally best to solve the problem. The longer it takes, the more troublesome it will be.

While thinking about this matter, he walked towards them, not wanting to meet two acquaintances who stopped him.

They are all from Lao Mouzi's studio, one is Director Zhang's assistant, Ms. Pang Liwei, and the other is the manager of Little Yellow Duck, Nini and others, Miss Pu Lun.

"Sister Pang, Sister Pulun, what's the matter? I'm sorry just now, I have been too busy to take care of you." Zhou Xia took the initiative to say with a smile. The two knew him very early, when he was still nothing. It's a good relationship.

"Hehe, you are so busy, so don't be polite to the two of us. We have something to communicate with you, do you have time?" Pang Liwei said politely, after all, Zhou Xia's status is different now.

"Sister Pang and Sister Pu Lun, you're welcome. Just call me by my name. Let's sit here." Zhou Xia looked at the empty table next to him, and asked the two to sit down.

Lao Mouzi didn't like this kind of gathering in the circle, so he didn't come this time. He didn't expect that she would send these two old acquaintances here.

"That's good, you are not what you used to be now." Assistant Pang said politely, and continued: "That's right, the post-production of Director Zhang's "Return" has been completed, and the company arranged to participate in some awards next year before it will be released. , Now Director Zhang has prepared a script for Director Zhang, and Hollywood Legend has prepared a script for Director Zhang, Director Zhang wants me to ask the company what it means."

"Ask what the company means. Can you talk about the two scripts in detail?" Zhou Xia mused slightly. He didn't expect Lao Mouzi, an old senior, to be so polite. Asking the company means asking him what he thinks.

However, considering Lao Mouzi's behavior, he has always considered the interests and ideas of other collaborators, and he is not surprised.

"It's like this. One is the script of the Three Kingdoms, which tells the story of a double figure; the script of Legend is called "The Great Wall", which is a movie about fighting monsters. I heard that Legend has sought you out, but you have not agreed."

"Yes, they approached me. I have read the script of "The Great Wall". Our company has been negotiating the acquisition of Legend. When I went there to film "Pacific Rim" in February this year, many Hollywood companies approached me to cooperate. They That's when I was approached. Personally, I didn't like any script very much, so I didn't accept it. I don't know what Director Zhang meant?"

Although Zhou Xia knew that the time-space old man took over the book, it was LeTV who led it after all.

Now Lao Mouzi's studio belongs to Xia Hua, and Xia Hua Film and Television did not support this matter, so with Lao Mouzi's personality, if the company does not agree, he may not insist on this matter.

"It's like this. Director Zhang doesn't like the script very much, but Legend guarantees that we don't need to consider this issue. They are a very professional Hollywood screenwriting team. It took three years to complete this script. It combines all Eastern and Western factors. I have done my best, and it is not easy to make changes.

If Director Zhang accepts this film for a reason, even if we Xia Hua don't participate, they will find other film and television companies in the Mainland to cooperate with Legend, and they will definitely create this IP and invite Hollywood first-line stars to join.

In addition, Legend also revealed that China Film, Huaxia and other state-owned film and television companies are very optimistic about this kind of film that involves the spread of Chinese culture, and they will definitely participate in it. Don't let us worry about other issues. "

Assistant Pang and Zhou Xia have known each other for a long time, as early as when Zhou Xia was a freshman at Nortel University, so he spoke very directly and explained the whole story in detail.

"Well, it seems that Legend is very confident." Zhou Xia smiled slightly: "Does that director want to try?"

"As expected, you guessed it. Director Zhang said that if the company agrees, he wants to try this kind of Hollywood blockbuster, as well as 3D and other shooting technologies..."

"Of course the company won't object. I said this when I signed the contract with Director Zhang. This is the basic principle. In this way, isn't Director Zhang also in the Imperial Capital now? Go back and make an appointment with Director Zhang. Look at this Can I talk to him face to face in a few days?"

Zhou Xia thought about it, and decided to meet and talk with Lao Mouzi. Lao Mouzi wanted to make "The Great Wall", so logically speaking, he just agreed.

But Xia Hua has been signing Lao Mouzi for a year and a half now. He only made a literary film "Return" and used all the actors he was willing to use, so his contribution to the company is quite small.

Although Lao Mouzi's offering to the Buddha will bring many benefits to Xiahua Film and Television, isn't that too wasteful?

If the "Great Wall" project is really a good project, then of course Xia Hua will participate, so that Xia Hua Film and Television will gain something.

But knowing the result, he certainly didn't want Xia Hua to participate in this project.

It took the old Mouzi a year or two to make this movie, and Xia Hua Film and Television suffered a huge loss if calculated back and forth.

At that time, Lao Mouzi's signing fee was only [-] million yuan, and he also had shares in the company. He enjoyed a lot of dividends every year. If he was allowed to make movies for others, Xia Hua would lose the income of two blockbuster movies in the past two years.

Zhou Xia didn't care too much this time, after all, Lao Mouzi could be regarded as half of his teacher, but as the chairman of a listed company, he had to consider this matter.

Otherwise, the board of directors will definitely ask about this matter afterwards. If Lao Mouzi does not contribute to the company for a year or two, he will lose at least [-] to [-] million yuan.

After all, the average box office share of Xia Hua Film and Television's movies is this amount.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and make arrangements. Director Zhang has nothing to do these few days. He is just discussing the script with the screenwriters in the studio. You can come directly if you have time. You have been here for more than a year, but once You haven't come to our studio to check the work, everyone is looking forward to you."

When Assistant Pang heard Zhou Xia's request, he quickly sent out an invitation.

Since Lao Mouzi's studio signed the contract with Xiahua Film and Television, not only Zhou Xia personally has not interfered with anything, but so has everyone else in Xiahua Film and Television.

In terms of work, Lao Mouzi's studio makes decisions, and Xia Hua will provide good cooperation. The cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll go over to talk to Director Zhang tomorrow morning. Sister Pu Lun, how about you? What's your business?" Zhou Xia was very happy to hear that Pang Liwei's words were very decent.

Although he didn't care about the affairs of Lao Mouzi's studio, he still wanted them to treat him as the boss.

"It's like this. I mainly want you to arrange work for the children in our studio. Now that Dongyu is a sophomore, he can already come out to film. After the winter vacation, he will have more time. Nini, too, and Xinyi and Huiwen..."

Pu Lun politely told Zhou Xia that compared with the fat assistant, she had more contact with Zhou Xia and had a closer relationship, but Zhou Xia's status had changed too much in the past few years, so she also sent text messages to contact her during the holidays. Naturally, the relationship faded somewhat.

"Okay, don't worry, sister Pu Lun, today is such a good opportunity, if you come with a few of them, you will definitely meet many directors and bosses. In fact, many directors in the company are optimistic about them and want to cooperate with them." Zhou Xia Quickly said with a smile.
