Director Wei is not sure if "Operation Red Sea" can break 60 billion at the box office, but since Dante Lam can make "Operation Red Sea" to 36 billion, Director Wei is fully confident of making another 40 billion hit.

If Director Wei becomes a director, there is now a basic box office base of 500 million yuan.

No one in the circle doubts this.

Moreover, with Director Wei's appeal, there will be no situation where there are no actresses available in the circle.

It's a bit ironic. They couldn't find a female star willing to play a role in Operation Red Sea, a state-backed film.

If he could find a female lead who was slightly famous in the film industry, Dante Lam would not use Hai Qing.

Hai Qing is a big name in the television industry, but she is nothing in the film industry.

But only Hai Qing is willing to shoot and willing to endure the hardship.

For this reason, Dante Lam had to add more scenes for Hai Qing. There was nothing he could do about it. Dante Lam was really grateful to Hai Qing.

When filming "Operation Red Sea", Dante Lam invited many female stars.

No one dumped him.

He had to use his connections to invite Hai Qing over... It can only be said that it is really easy for female stars in the entertainment industry to make money, so they are too lazy to take any money that requires hard work to earn.

In this case, how could Dante Lam not be grateful to Hai Qing?

So he didn't have the right mindset, and the role of the Chinese female reporter played by Hai Qing became the failure of "Operation Red Sea".

To be honest, it would be better to delete this character, at least it won’t lose points.

If Director Wei were in charge, there would definitely be no worries about the female lead.

No female star in the circle would refuse Director Wei's call.

With just one word from Director Wei, both big and small actresses would rush to take on this role.

Even if they have to undergo rigorous military training, Director Wei has no doubt that they can persevere.

Moreover, the ending of "Operation Red Sea" is a bit bad, and Director Wei is fully capable of making it more perfect.

But after pondering for a moment, Director Wei shook his head.

“Forget it, give other directors some opportunities.

There are many heroic deeds within the navy that could be adapted into films, so the requirements for a director are actually not high. The box office of "The Great Strife" exceeded 60 billion, and the strength of the navy itself accounted for more than half of the credit, not my ability at all.

I can't eat alone, other directors can also shoot well, Director Lin, please come up."

Director Wei took the initiative to cue Dante Lam.

At this time, Lin Chaoxian had already finished filming "Operation Mekong" and his cooperation with the Ministry of Public Security was very smooth. The Ministry of Public Security was also very satisfied with "Operation Mekong".

When Director Wei called him, Dante Lam was surprised and delighted, and quickly walked onto the stage.

Director Wei then said to the Navy representative, "Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you to Lin Chaoxian. Director Lin is very good at filming martial arts and heroic scenes. He did a great job in Operation Mekong, a collaboration with the Ministry of Public Security.

If Hai Jun wants to make similar films again, he can work with Director Lin. I am very optimistic about him."

Although Director Wei is much younger than Dante Lam.

But Director Wei said he was very optimistic about Dante Lam, and no one present said anything wrong, as they all took it for granted.

Director Wei’s status has arrived.

Age naturally can no longer restrain him.

Lin Chaoxian was so grateful to Director Wei for his support that he burst into tears.

He didn't know that Director Wei was just giving him the cake that originally belonged to him. The Navy spokesperson listened to Director Wei's words, so he took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Chaoxian.

"Director Lin, please leave your contact information. Maybe we can have a deeper chat."

"Of course, of course. It's my honor."

A huge opportunity fell from the sky and Dante Lam was almost knocked unconscious.

Director Wei's support for Dante Lam also made some people feel relieved.

Because Dante Lam is from Hong Kong.

Director Wei did not promote a mainland director, but instead promoted a Hong Kong director, although Director Wei did not think too much about it and was just speaking the truth.

But in the eyes of others, this shows that Director Wei really treats everyone equally.

As long as the ability is strong, Director Wei doesn't care about the region of origin.

This is naturally a good thing for many people in the circle.

Dante Lam did have in-depth discussions with the Navy about the next film, and he took the initiative to suggest that Director Wei be a producer, either in name only or in actual capacity.

Although this would take away some of his glory after the film's success, Dante Lam knew that it would also increase his chances of success and help him make a better masterpiece.

In addition, Director Wei is well-known in the circle for not interfering with other directors. He is a hands-off boss in the several dramas he produced, helping without overstepping his authority, and has a very good reputation.

So Dante Lam is not worried.

Wei Jun did not refuse this.

If he could make "Operation Red Sea" look better, he would certainly be happy to do so. After all, it would be just a piece of cake for him.

At the celebration banquet, Director Wei was asked when he would be sure to break the new box office record set by "The Great Controversy". Director Wei smiled and said, "Maybe next month."

Many people haven't reacted yet.

But Harvey Weinstein reacted.

He is also a guest at today's celebration banquet. Director Wei specially invited him, and Harvey Weinstein really gave him face.

Of course, they were partners.

Harvey Weinstein helped director Wei win the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture.

Director Wei sold the overseas rights to his next film to Harvey Weinstein at a bargain price.

At that time, Harvey Weinstein did not think he was at a loss. Instead, he thought Wei Jun was a good partner.

Until he saw "The Great Controversy".

Harvey Weinstein is dumbfounded.

"Wei, you are so mean."

Harvey Weinstein pointed at Director Wei and smiled bitterly.

"How could a movie like this possibly sell well at the box office in North America?" "The Age of Contenders" tells the story of the military standoff between China and the United States in the South China Sea.

The United States is still scared.

Do you really think Americans are Q?

Americans can accept all kinds of negative portrayals of the United States in their own movies, including the black president even toppling the Statue of Liberty and bombing New York.

Because they know it's fake.

And it was filmed by their own people.

But "The Age of Contentiousness" was filmed by a Chinese.

And the footage is real.

This is something that Americans will definitely not accept.

The arrogance of Americans is deep-rooted.

So Harvey Weinstein knew that he had suffered a huge loss this time.

Director Wei also seemed innocent about Harvey Weinstein's complaints. He spread his hands and said, "It was you who asked for the North American rights to my next film. I didn't trick you."

Harvey Weinstein is in tears.

Indeed, he had proposed it himself.

"I thought you would continue to make movies like 'The Family'." 'The Family' did very well at the North American box office.

Other copyrights also sold for high prices.

Americans like that tune.

After all, the male protagonist Liu Zhonglie and the female protagonist Liu Hong in "The Family of Loyal Martyrs" are both spiritual Americans.

If Director Wei continues to make that kind of movie, Harvey Weinstein will definitely not lose out.

What a pity... Director Wei patted Harvey Weinstein's shoulder and said calmly: "Harvey, calm down. You signed the contract yourself and you have to accept it even if you cry.

Besides, isn’t there Wonder Woman? "

As a middleman, Harvey Weinstein helped build a bridge of communication between DC and Director Wei.

Harvey Weinstein deserves credit for the collaboration between Director Wei and DC.

So he got a lot of benefits from DC.

And even Harvey Weinstein hasn't given up on Director Wei. The fact that "The Conquest of the Five Armies" grossed 60 billion yuan in China was a major event in the American film industry, making American entertainment industry capitalists even more aware of the enormous size of the Chinese market.

In this case, why would you care about a little loss when you have the opportunity to befriend the number one person in Chinese film industry?

Harvey Weinstein is not the kind of petty businessman who only cares about every penny. He does have some vision and perspective.

That's why he showed up here today.

As Director Wei demonstrated his value and energy, his respect for Director Wei grew day by day, and he would not miss any opportunity to make friends with Director Wei.

It is definitely a loss.

But as long as you can make good friends with Director Wei, you can earn more in the future.

With this in mind, Harvey Weinstein nodded and said, "The success of 'Controversy' has given DC executives confidence in you. 'Wonder Woman' is about to be released, and they hope it can rival 'Controversy'."

Director Wei smiled and shook his head, saying, "In our country, there is no way that "Wonder Woman" can beat "The Age of Conquest" at the box office. It would be incredible if it could get half of the box office of "The Age of Conquest"." The emotional resonance that "The Age of Conquest" brought to domestic audiences is something that "Wonder Woman" cannot compare with.

Therefore, we cannot expect "Wonder Woman" to replicate the success of "The Great Controversy" in the country.

"However, in terms of global box office, it shouldn't be a problem for Wonder Woman to surpass Rise of Skywalker.

After all, I was able to provide Wonder Woman with box office revenue in China that far exceeded the actual quality of the film.”

Harvey Weinstein laughed and said, "Wei, it's a pleasure to work with you. If the global box office of Wonder Woman, which you direct, can exceed $10 billion, then no matter what the international relations between China and the United States are like, I am sure that you can become a big director in Hollywood and be respected by the whole of Hollywood and have greater opportunities.

Of course, I can also gain greater benefits from this.”

Director Wei shrugged.

He didn't really care about it.

Because he had no intention of gaining a foothold in Hollywood.

In the next few years, when the epidemic breaks out, he won’t dare to go to the United States even if he is asked to.

Besides, his roots are in the country.

Director Wei is not an international star, nor is he one of those fifth-generation great directors. He has no filter for Hollywood.

But Director Wei did not reject Harvey Weinstein's kindness.

If you can use a few Hollywood movies to increase the box office figures of the movies you direct, then why not?

It’s certainly great to break records in the country.

But if you want a movie to reach the $10 billion level, you still have to make a Hollywood blockbuster at this stage.

In this regard, there is still an all-round gap between the Chinese film industry and Hollywood, which cannot be narrowed in the short term.

Therefore, it is not unacceptable for Director Wei to make a few more Hollywood movies.

But Director Wei doesn’t think there will be another good opportunity like "Wonder Woman".

The international situation does not allow it.

His strong personality doesn't allow it either.

It depends on luck.

“It’s been great working with you, Harvey.

By the way, you should be careful. You are so old, don’t have any problems with relationships between men and women.”

Director Wei reminded.

After all, Harvey Weinstein fell into this trap in his previous life.
