Although Hollywood is full of pitfalls, the huge sales of "The Barbossa" can be regarded as Kevin's performance. This kind of movie with almost zero cost except for promotional expenses, he has picked up a big leak. Therefore, I still care about Chen Ergou.

"Chen, I have read the script of your new film. The mode of space disaster + 3D shooting is actually not bad. But you have to shoot in China, and the high-level executives are not willing to participate more. If you put it in the United States, I think the situation will be much better. "

"Kevin, what's your opinion? You also think it should be filmed in America?"

Kevin Tsuhara thought for a while and said: "In fact, in recent years, everyone has noticed that the Chinese market has grown stronger. Warner's investment in China is not as good as other companies such as Columbia, even DreamWorks. So much so that we even " The release of Batman has been blocked. Your country is really difficult to deal with, and I am not very confident."

"Of course, if you only want to show it in China, you won't come to me? Chinese movies are not popular in the United States. You should be clear about this. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Warner to invest in your project." In a word, the project The future is uncertain, and even a director as famous as David Fincher will only get a few coppers.

Chen Ergou said: "I can afford the investment myself. If the effect of the auction meets expectations, I hope Warner will consider releasing it?"

Kevin laughed, he likes to do no-cost business the most.

The great sales of "Barbosa" in the United States proves Chen Ergou's popularity, compared to the Bieber documentary "Never Say Never", which is also famous on YouTube, but it is the best proof. Still very optimistic about his Hollywood prospects.

"No problem, who told us to cooperate so happily. If you need help, just ask."

Chen Ergou said impolitely: "Well, I need a well-known producer who can help me communicate with NASA's filming work. This person should not be too strong, because I am also very strong, and it is best to have complementary personalities. It's close to my philosophy."

Kevin frowned and thought about it for a long time. He knew too well the ways of Hollywood. Those well-known producers all had their eyes on the top, and they might want to be "the emperor" when they went to China. Chen Ergou said that he is very strong, and if he had a bad temper in the past, he was afraid that the scene would be messed up before the filming started.

When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw a fat man with a big beard walking in, and he had an idea in his heart.

Gilmore, who was born in 1964, is a banner of Mexican movies. Although he is a fat man with an ugly appearance, he is a real all-rounder in movies. And the great director James Cameron is also a good friend for many years. He has worked as a director, actor, assistant director, screenwriter, producer, and even worked as a makeup artist for 10 years. The famous "Devil's Silver Claw", "Blade Warrior", "Hellboy", and "Pan's Labyrinth" are all his works.

He has recently become obsessed with neon mecha anime, and after watching Lorraine's new film "Foundation" at Warner's internal screening, he came up with new ideas, and he already has a general idea for his new film. The party at Warner was just to find inspiration, and by the way, Lala also meant to invest. With his fame, of course there is no shortage of investment, but the investment for this new idea is a bit big.

Now that the tide has changed in Hollywood, companies are thinking about breaking even and setting aside marketing expenses before carefully squeezing out cash. For such a large investment, it always takes a lot of talking. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, without saying a word, I was introduced by Warner executives to meet a Chinese who has become very popular recently.

"Hello, Director Gilmore, nice to meet you!"

...

By the time Chen Ergou boarded the flight back home again, it had already been delayed for five days. In the first-class cabin, he was flipping through an English script with "paifirim" written on it.

It was a fruitful day at the party, and Gilmour was very famous, but he was a bit funny.

At the beginning, we talked about Chen Ergou's new project, because the other party hadn't read his script, and the empty chat didn't make much progress. Subsequently,

Chen Ergou changed his mind, mentioned that he might be able to help with investment, and took the initiative to shift the topic to Gilmour's "new idea", and the situation immediately became weird.

Of course, Gilmour would not tell Chen Ergou the plot of the script in detail, but just gave a general overview, and Chen Ergou can draw inferences about other cases from one instance. In a few words, he guessed almost the same as what he wanted, and the slight discrepancies were more comprehensive and detailed than he thought.

The two talked endlessly for most of the day, and in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that they hated seeing each other later. But the more he talked about Gilmore, the more depressed he became. "Is the other party too smart, or you are too stupid. How can you guess everything clearly?"

This made him doubt whether his idea was really too low.

He only gave a brief introduction, and everyone guessed the plot? !

"Chen, are you really an adventurer, not a person who studied directing and screenwriting at the California Film Academy?"

Chen Ergou smiled and said, "No, I would rather be a chef, would you like to hear my ideas?"

"Of course! Otherwise, I'll let go of so many beauties, why would I want to chat with you?"

"Gillmore, this idea of ​​yours is actually great. If I were to describe it as a dish, all I can think of is a French snail burger set meal, with a Mediterranean salad for the meal, and red wine and Coke for the drink... Regardless of whether this metaphor is appropriate or not Appropriate, just looking at the logic, such a request seems unreasonable in a Western-style fast food restaurant. The same goes for your super mech movie..."

""Paifirim", yes, I intend to use this name."

"... Well, "paifirim" is a complex genre film, which combines the main genres of science fiction, action, and adventure, and also involves sub-genre elements such as monster movies, robot movies, and disaster movies. It has its own rules and premises."

"And the composite genre films of this concept are films with huge investment and high technical content. Its priority is not artistic value, but commercial value. Then under this premise, the simpler and easier to understand the story is The premise of its commercial success, you can’t make it too complicated. As the story of an action commercial popcorn movie with a huge investment, it can’t make ordinary audiences see it in a cloud, right? Your idea is too complicated , but it doesn't have the delicate structure of "Foundation Laying"..."

"Hey, have you also watched "Foundation"?"

"...Yes. I think you were probably influenced by Christopher's movie."

"Is it so obvious?" Gilmore was at a loss.

How could he have thought of Chen Ergou's evil life, who has been making movies for so many years, suddenly today in front of a "layman" made him feel a little bit frustrated, this is unique. Even discussing with Cameron often makes people feel very upset.

Chen Ergou was also ashamed, he had to get a positive photo, otherwise there would be nothing to talk about, and why would he talk about inviting others. It was also because of getting to know Gilmore that he temporarily canceled the flight and delayed the trip.

Gilmour also got his script. Although he didn't agree to it outright, at least he was very moved. The two sides are still negotiating further details. Chen Ergou is not very good at these negotiations. Downey's essential job is a lawyer, and these are definitely not good.

So these days, he asked the headhunting company to poach a professional manager, and finally invited Ms. Susan Carlisle, who used to be the manager of Paramount's marketing operations department, as the new CEO of Reservoir Dogs Entertainment.

As for Susan's performance... let's wait and see.

On the contrary, Downey finally won the copyright of "The Hunger Games" after a period of hard work.

Negotiations had already been in full swing. Lionsgate’s asking price soared to 7.5 million US dollars, and Summit Entertainment asked 8 million US dollars. Directly bought the film and television adaptation copyright of "The Hunger Games" at a price of 10 million US dollars.

The author of the original work has not made a decision for a long time, but also has the idea of ​​​​raising the price and reaping the benefits of the fisherman. In the face of honest money, there is not much to consider. Although Reservoir Dog is penniless, the price it offers is undeniable. The original author also enjoys 1% of the film's box office share. Reservoir Dogs also sincerely invites the author of the original work to personally participate in the script adaptation of the movie version.

Zenith and Lionsgate were robbed of pork belly, so they were naturally furious. Angrily denouncing Reservoir Dogs for buying copyrights for tens of millions of dollars is a complete violation of market rules, harming others and benefiting oneself! While wantonly smearing and attacking, accusing "The Hunger Games" falling into this company is also a pearl of dust, eating jujube pills. On the other side, they are still secretly contacting the author of the original work, hoping that he can change his mind and tear up the agreement, and he is willing to file a lawsuit with the Chinese, probably because he thinks that the Chinese who are alone are easy to bully. But they are unwilling to pay more, so who is the fool?

This incident made a lot of noise, but it brought this "Reservoir Dogs" entertainment company into the public eye.

As the boss, Chen Ergou, he was naturally mentioned a lot. Another outsider was also frequently implicated, because the purchase price of this company was 5.2 million, which was similar to the amount Chen Ergou "won" Taylor Swift. The reporters almost pressed each other's foreheads and asked, "Just ask if you regret it or not", obviously wanting to make trouble.

No, things are coming.

Things that don't exist at all, if people talk about them a lot, they will come true.

"Taylor" was also upset, and even made a special call, "Hey, Chen, let's play a game sometime. I have never lost so badly, and I was ridiculed. If I do it again, I will definitely be safe." win!"

However, there are three major illusions in life, he likes me, this is a sure win, and I can fight back!

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but this woman was too arrogant. She publicly shouted on Twitter, and even her girlfriends waved their flags to cheer. How can Er Gouzhi, who is not weaker than others in his life, be able to bear it? He promised his fans and he would not agree. He would never let a woman ride on his head, so he slipped away!

...

Chen Ergou looked at the white sea of ​​clouds outside the window and put down the script. It's more difficult for a foreigner to get into Hollywood than he imagined. It's better to be in China, where there are people who have money to shoot.

At this moment, he wanted to return home as soon as possible.

The plane arrived in the middle of the night, and the reporters who managed to get the whereabouts from the airline only had time to take a few pictures of Chen Ergou wearing a pair of big shorts, a black T-shirt, a peaked cap, and a large travel backpack. Before even asking a few questions, the person had disappeared when he turned around.

The photo was posted on the Internet with the caption [International star Chen Ergou returns home in the middle of the night, and shows up at the airport in big underpants, no one recognizes him! ]” attracted a large number of fans to chase.

"Hack my big dog, no one knows, isn't the editor a human!"

"Master Dog has finally appeared! 666, congratulations to Lord Dog for his return with honors, let us show our country!"

"Ah, what the hell, these big underpants are too coquettish. They have hot eyes. Is this an airport dress? It's full of leg hair, hahaha!"

"My dog ​​walks in the wind in big pants, and this big chest T-shirt can't stop it, the aura is invincible!"

"Come on, let's wait!"
