Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 59 Whoever touches him is doomed; whoever gets caught will be dealt with.

Chen An called every film studio. ♗🍩 69hùⓧ.com 😂😺

There are no new film plans at the moment, but we could collaborate if the opportunity arises.

It's never a bad thing to have good relationships; major film studios are still the backbone of the film industry.

Moreover, Chen An really has no intention of making a new film. After finishing "My Sassy Girl", Chen An has been in a state of leisure.

They learn English, wait for the movie to be released, and now they're waiting to collect the money, waiting for the theater's funding to arrive.

My current plan is to save some money to invest in the internet and set aside some for retirement.

He would occasionally visit Jiang Wen's place or attend classes; in short, he was a slacker.

I even went online to see how netizens were praising me, and I just blocked the haters. It was so satisfying.

"Hey, young Chen, do you remember me?" Chen An received a phone call from across the ocean while he was focused on writing his graduation thesis on his film.

"How could I forget? Jerry, what brings you on the phone?" Chen An certainly remembered him; he was the North American buyer of "Run Lola Run".

Jerry from Warner Bros. in Hollywood; the contact information the two exchanged last time.

Jerry on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised to hear Chen An's now fairly fluent English:

"Oh, Chen, it seems you've decided to come to Hollywood, the kingdom of our world cinema. Your English is already quite good!"

"Of course, aren't those bright green US dollars the most beautiful things in the world?"

Chen An answered the other party by expressing his own fondness for US dollars.

"Of course! Not just you, but I also think it's the most beautiful thing. After all, it's so damn alluring, you can't take your eyes off it, hahaha."

Jerry on the other end of the phone also agreed with Chen An.

Chen An knew, of course, that the other person wasn't calling him from across the Pacific Ocean to chat casually.

"Hey Jerry, thanks for helping me register as a member of the Hollywood Guild, and thanks for helping me register my script. I think I'll be heading to Hollywood soon."

"Chen, I knew you'd come! I saw your latest movie, it was really good and very successful. I'm already looking forward to our collaboration, hahaha."

Jerry on the other end of the phone got the answer he wanted and was in a good mood.

Warner Bros. is also rife with factions, and if they can discover a good director, he can go even further.

He had always thought Chen An was an excellent director. He was initially amazed by Chen An's brilliant filming ideas, but he didn't expect that his new film would also show good progress in terms of technique.

Without a doubt, he is an excellent choice.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Jerry. I still have a movie that hasn't been released yet. I'll contact you after it's released. I think we'll definitely have a perfect collaboration."

There was no need to continue the awkward conversation, so Chen An and Jerry discussed the timing and decided to go to Hollywood after "My Sassy Girl" was released.

After getting the time, the person on the other end of the phone didn't continue the conversation.

"Then I congratulate you, Chen, on the success of your new movie, just like your previous ones. Although I think you need to take your talent to Hollywood as soon as possible."

After saying that, he laughed for a while, and then the other party hung up the phone.

He placed the phone, which he had just hung up on, on the table, lit a cigarette, and stopped writing his paper.

No rush, you can just write whatever you want, since you're the author anyway.

Hollywood?

Chen An thought about it for a moment.

Nowadays, investors from all over the country are coming to us wanting to cooperate, including some film studios.

If "My Sassy Girl" were as successful as it was in his previous life, Chen An wouldn't even dare to imagine that his small company would be packed with people.

It's impossible to fit it all in.

Going to Hollywood to find some peace and quiet wouldn't be a bad idea.

But Warner Bros. is a very strange company; it's known for only looking at the books and not the scripts.

The Matrix is ​​a prime example; a blockbuster of this caliber only cost over ten million dollars to make.

If it weren't for the Wachowski brothers giving him a big break, using that small amount of money to shoot some clips that turned out well, Warner Bros. would have had no choice in the end.

They reluctantly paid an additional 60 million before finally finishing filming the movie.

Otherwise, whether this movie can be made or not is a question.

Of course, the result was good; The Matrix was a great success in terms of both critical acclaim and box office revenue.

The bullet time sequence has become a classic in film history.

To be honest, Warner has done quite a few shady things. The fact that it has been able to stay in business for so long without going bankrupt can only be attributed to its deep pockets and good luck.

However, Chen An didn't have many other options. Since Warner had come to him, it was the best choice.

The post-production of "My Sassy Girl" has been completed and is currently in the approval stage.

After that, everything was ready except for the final push.

Once the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains, the Titanic does a backflip.

This is definitely a hot trend, but only Chen An knows it; no one else would have thought of it.

A romance film from abroad managed to break a box office record of 3.5 million yuan in China, a record that wasn't broken until ten years later.

Love is something that people both at home and abroad enjoy; it's universally appealing.

Even a single person can watch a romantic movie and be deeply moved.

It's amazing.

As Chen An pondered, his thoughts wandered further and further, and he couldn't help but laugh, as if he had remembered something.

"Never mind, I'll head to Hollywood after the movie is released, and then expand the company once Brother Han has finished his evolution." Chen An thought it was a good idea.

It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but I certainly can't cooperate with everyone. We can have it privately issued later.

We could collaborate with a few film studios, after all, we can learn from their distribution channels.

He also took in some behind-the-scenes staff from film studios, especially those from Xi'an Film Studio, who were practically drooling with envy.

Although they come from within the system, their abilities are outstanding, especially the top talents from Xi'an Film Studio.

Since these people started leaving after the rise of private issuance, but they were all going to leave anyway, it's fine for them to come to my place.

Backed by China Film Group, in that turbulent era, it would certainly not be inferior to Huayi Brothers.

After figuring it out, Chen An turned back to writing his thesis.

Once this is sorted out, I can go straight to Hollywood.

By the time Chen An's film passed censorship, news had already spread that "Titanic" was about to be released.

This box office miracle, which has consistently topped the North American weekly box office charts, is coming in strong and has already set a release date.

The film is set to be released in domestic cinemas on April 3, and cinemas across the country have purchased copies in large quantities.

They planned to make a fortune and made extensive filming arrangements in advance.

They hope it performs as well as possible, so they can get more of the revenue share from imported films.

"Brother Chen, the film has passed censorship, and now we need to arrange the release date." Han Sanping didn't seem to care much about "Titanic".

My heart is set on "My Sassy Girl," and I hope it will be as successful as "Little Forest."

"I think National Day is a good time; the long holiday also allows me to avoid watching 'Titanic'." Chen An's idea was simple: avoid "Titanic" first.

He didn't want to be smashed to pieces; whoever hits this ship is doomed, it's the same all over the world.

Even if Chen An racked his brains, it would be difficult to find anything that could rival this film.

Han Sanping was somewhat surprised by Chen An's high regard for "Titanic": "You're so optimistic about this film, are you already scared before the action even starts?"

"A film that has consistently topped the Hollywood box office charts has never come down. I'd be a fool to go head-to-head with it."

Despite his fear, Chen An would never admit that this was a roundabout strategy, a way to avoid a direct confrontation.

"At most, it'll break 100 million, just like that Schwarzenegger movie." Han Sanping didn't think the other party was that great.

Even though it's a Hollywood movie, the domestic market is what it is, so how much more arrogant can you be?

"I haven't seen enough, and I estimate that it will be a big win at the Oscars this year. Let's release it later, during the National Day holiday, which is a good time." Chen An felt that they had to salvage the situation.

If you don't take the Titanic seriously, it's only natural that people will smash you to pieces; that's how it is all over the world.

Hollywood, which initially had low hopes for this movie, has been thoroughly proven wrong!

All other films released at the same time were completely wrecked; it's safe to say that this was the best film ever made, even by Hollywood standards.

You don't need to add "one of" to either of them.

I really feel like two chapters is my limit.
