Huayu02 started by making films.

Shay quickly smiled apologetically:

"Han, you know this is a global release, and cinemas in different regions have to negotiate revenue sharing. Initially, the occupancy rate wasn't high, so I negotiated a 50/50 split of the first week's box office to secure more screenings..."

Han Yi slammed the report on the table:

"What nonsense are you spouting! This film cost practically nothing; you were only responsible for distribution. I don't believe that New Line Cinema, backed by Warner Bros., could manage revenue sharing like this!"

Xie Yi smiled wryly: "Han, I have my own difficulties too. The higher-ups see that I'm making money and they want to squeeze every last drop out of Xinxian."

As he spoke, he took another report from the drawer and handed it over.

Han Yi took it and looked at it carefully. This was the original data that hadn't been tampered with, and the revenue sharing between the new circuit and the theater chain was 50/50.

Old Xie,

Han Yi's tone turned serious.

"Okay, Lao Xie, you settle your debts and withdraw from 'Untouchable.' Let's part ways amicably, and come back to visit sometime."

Shea jumped up from the boss's chair, waving his hand in refusal: "Han, you can't do this! We signed a contract!"

Han Yi shook his head and laughed: "That's why 'Untouchable' has four investors."

He stood up and walked over to Shay:

"Otherwise, why do you think I brought you in? Believe me, one phone call from EuropaCorp and China Film Group could get you kicked out."

Shay, his face contorted with embarrassment, his confidence waning: "Alright, Han, we'll split the profits for 'Paranormal Activity' according to this report. But what about the fees you asked me to cover for those people you've been lobbying?"

Han Yi didn't take it seriously: "What, do you think you can throw a hundred million at someone else? Just deduct it from my share."

Shay nodded: "So how will the revenue from the subsequent videotapes be split?"

"Directly connect with the finance department I brought. Oh, and Lao Xie, I have one more favor to ask you."

"you say."

"Are there any vacant offices at the new line? I'd like to rent a few."

"It's just a matter of a word!"

After much back and forth, Han Yi finally received a $20 million profit from the box office of "Paranormal Activity," not including the subsequent share of the videotape revenue.

The following day, Han Yi visited Dao Rong and his finance team.

After settling matters related to "Memory Rift," it was revealed that New Line Cinema would be the major investor in the film.

Han Yi knew this movie was a trap, so he deliberately tricked Xie Yi out of his money.

If you're not even willing to lose money, how dare you call yourself a moviemaker?

During lunch, Han Yi instructed the finance department to distribute bonuses before immediately flying back to France, where filming for "The Intouchables" was about to begin.

.......

"The Intouchables," originally titled "Untouchable," was produced by the French film company Gaumont.

The original movie tells the story of: "Philip, a wealthy man who is paralyzed and has difficulty moving around, and Driss, a young black man who has been released from prison, and the events that happen between them."

Driss applied for Philippe's "nanny" job only to fraudulently obtain government unemployment benefits. She and Philippe should have had nothing in common. Their backgrounds and social statuses were polar opposites, like heaven and earth.

Even so, the two developed a somewhat unstable but steadily growing friendship, based on sincerity, honesty, and humor.

During this process, the two will undergo an unprecedented emotional transformation, prompting them to re-examine the meaning of life and love.

Now that Han Yi has disrupted the script, let's start from the beginning:

Two years before the outbreak of World War I, the Qing Dynasty collapsed and Puyi abdicated.

In support of World War I, the Beiyang government dispatched Chinese laborers to support the Allied Powers. Among them, 140,000 Chinese laborers were recruited to France to perform logistical support work under the command of Britain and France.

In other words, they were involved in mining, port construction, railway construction, and some were digging trenches on the front lines.

After World War I, the Beiyang government did not care about the fate of these people. The surviving Chinese laborers lived and made a living on both the British and French sides.

In this way, these Chinese laborers gradually integrated into life in France.

After the end of World War II.

In order to achieve rapid economic development, France signed formal labor agreements with its former African colonies.

From then on, these blacks began a large-scale racial contamination program, commonly known as: going into heat, and then giving birth to blacks.

In 1965, a Chinese female laborer gave birth to a baby boy in a private clinic in Paris, naming him Jiang Danggui.

Fast forward to 94, when Danggui was 29 years old.

For 29 years, he lived under the protection of his parents in Paris's Chinatown. There's an old saying: it's slow to learn good things, but fast to learn bad things.

Over the past twenty years of living in Chinatown, Jiang Danggui has gone from learning to speak to forgetting his own language and learning French and English, during which time he has met many people.

For example, the local species, Nigo, was an overpopulation of the species. From a young age, Dangui and his friends would fight whenever they saw a Nigo, and they continued to fight until he was 28 years old.

Why not 29?

Jiang Danggui was imprisoned for six months for his last fight, and he spent his 29th birthday in a Paris prison.

After being released from prison, Jiang Dangui met Philip, a wealthy man who was looking for a nanny, and Philip's housekeeper Lila (played by Zhang Min) through a job arrangement at the shelter.

The story truly begins here.

With curiosity and reluctance, Jiang Danggui took on the job of taking care of Philip.

Two men from vastly different backgrounds begin to develop an incredible friendship.

Meanwhile, Jiang Dangui remained puzzled: Lila is clearly Chinese, so why does she never speak Chinese?

October 3th, afternoon.

Han Yi arrived at EuropaCorp and met with Robert, and then convened a preparatory meeting for "The Intouchables".

Luc Besson, one of the owners of EuropaCorp, also made a special trip to attend, beaming with joy, indicating that "The Transporter," which he produced and starred Jason Statham, has performed well at the box office.

Han Shanping did not attend in person, but arranged for the person in charge of China Film Group to accompany Han Yi throughout the process and be at his command.

Shay was busy with public relations for Spielberg on Lolita Island, so he sent an assistant to represent him.

All four investors were present.

Looking at the dozen or so men and women, young and old, in the office, Han Yi placed his hands on the main desk and, imitating Kevin Spacey, gently tapped the desk twice.

"Bang, bang."

He stood up and looked around at the crowd:

"Among you all, some know me, and some don't. I'll only introduce myself once: my name is Han Yi, and I'm the chief planner, director, and screenwriter of the 'Untouchable' project. Next!"

Robert, who had been staring at Han Yi, immediately stood up upon hearing this:

"I'm Robert, the director of photography for 'The Intouchables'..."

"I am François Cluzet, playing Philippe..."

"I am Jiang Wu, playing the role of Jiang Dangui..."

"I am Zhang Min..."

Location scouting had already been completed, and Robert had thoroughly understood the storyboards. In addition, the two male leads had already discussed the script in advance. After the meeting, they went straight into the filming stage.

The total construction period is 90 days, with filming expected to wrap up at the end of January, post-production throughout February, and delivery to Cannes in early March.

"Robert."

"arrive!"

"Please sit down first," Han Yi waved his hand and then said:

"Most of the crew are working together for the first time, so I haven't had much time to adjust. Therefore, tonight we're going straight to the big scene—a police car chase at night. Any problems?"

"Director Han, the film crew is ready to go at any time."

"Props?"

"All vehicles are in position, including that Maserati."

"Meeting adjourned, let's get to work!"

"Splash splash splash..."

After the meeting, the film crew got to work smoothly. Jiang Wu took François for a test drive, while Robert directed the production team to install equipment on the prop truck.
