Chapter 786 Santa Claus Coppola

No matter what Ye Ming said, after hearing the name Siheyuan, Guan Zhilin felt that things were a bit difficult to understand: "Mr. Ye, whether it is collection or investment, no matter what, your hobby is really not It's a general waste of money. Compared with Mr. Wang's hobbies and yours, he is relatively reserved."

A courtyard house cost two to three million in the past two years. Now it is estimated to be better. More than four million is no problem.

This is not a waste of money as Guan Zhilin said, it is simply a huge waste of money and not something that ordinary rich people can afford.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Well, occasionally, I don't want any courtyard house, usually around the Forbidden City. I especially like the place near Chang'an Street, and I also have a house in Wangfu International. It is a very good place developed by Lao Wang, and it is quite a good investment.”

At this time, Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "The old Wang that Ye Ming mentioned is the husband of Qinggege Wang Yan, not our Mr. Wang, Wangfu International, the location is quite good. As an investment, it is quite good, when I want a set , there are no good houses left.

Therefore, I put it on hold. Purple Jade Villa is quite good. I will go and check it out when I get the chance. Zhang Guoli is said to be interested in the house in Purple Jade Villa. Many other people in the entertainment industry also go to that place to buy. of the house.

Let’s not talk about this anymore, Ye Zi, how is the news on your side? Everyone is waiting. "

Feng Xiaogang was also very familiar with Ye Ming, and Feng Xiaogang was not polite at all.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Wang and I want the luminous cup. Actually, that's why. When I talked to Director Coppola on the phone yesterday, he said that he might come today. However, when I called just now, he His cell phone is unreachable. He may be on the plane, or he may be delayed due to something and not come. However, if he comes, judging from the plane, he will probably come by now."

Francis Coppola, one of the four major directors in Hollywood, a great director as famous as Lucas and Spielberg, if Feng Xiaogang's movie can be hired, it will have a lot of publicity. Considerable advantage.

Therefore, this can be regarded as an advantage of Huayi Brothers. [Wind Whisperer] faced off against [Big Name], and it was almost obvious that this was a general trend of crushing. At this time, Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang had almost no hope of victory.

But Ye Ming proposed to release it in advance and invited Coppola to come through personal connections. After hearing Ye Ming's answer, Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang finally felt confident.

Wang Zhongjun nodded and said: "In this case, I will make arrangements for the early release immediately to ensure that it can start on time tomorrow morning. What about Director Coppola?" Obviously, Wang Zhongjun meant that this news should be released. Now In terms of publicity, although the big names have the advantage, in terms of momentum, effect, and the degree of attraction to the media, [Wind Talker] is much better than [the big names].

Moreover, even if the recent box office performance of "Windtalkers" in the United States is not very satisfactory, it was not ideal in the first few days. This is not to say that this has not happened in many blockbusters.

Therefore, under such a situation, everyone is quite confident in the box office of "Windtalker" in China. I think this is a true Hollywood blockbuster directed by a Chinese.

This is considered one of Wu Yusen's masterpieces in Hollywood.

In fact, even when he changed his face, Wu Yusen had already become one of the representative directors in the Chinese film industry. Now it seems that if "Windtalker" is successful, then under such circumstances, his status in Hollywood will jump to the level below the four major directors.

This is Wu Yusen's ambition. He wants to use this movie to reach a new height in life.

At a time like this, Wang Zhongjun wanted to take advantage of the situation. In fact, speaking of it, the matter must be won by surprise. Obviously, releasing the film in advance is a trick.

But the real trump card is the quality of the film. Of course, with Coppola as a director suppressing scenes, there shouldn't be any big problems. Wang Zhongjun and others left in a hurry. Ye Ming didn't get the news, so he returned to the company depressed.

If we can't contact Coppola at this time, it will be quite troublesome.

Wang Zhongjun seemed to know what such a thing meant to the Huayi brothers. Therefore, at this time, he quickly sent someone to deliver the luminous cup. These two luminous cups are made of exquisite materials and exquisite workmanship. What is even more surprising is that they are a pair of hand-carved treasures, which are simply a beautiful landscape painting.

The two scrolls carved on it are also very beautiful in artistic conception. One is based on Cui Hu's Yellow Crane Tower, and the other is based on Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao, Red Cliff Nostalgia". Every poem and every word can be called a classic among classics in Chinese history.

I believe it is something good that can impress Coppola. Just when Ye Ming was worried, Sister Fang Fang called and said that there was a foreign bearded old man at the front desk looking for him.

The image of an old foreign man with a big beard immediately made the images of Ye Ming and Coppola overlap. At this moment, Ye Ming immediately said: "Stay still first, I will be here soon."

It is possible that Coppola actually came here in person. Although this news is quite surprising, it would not be unusual at all if the director was Coppola himself.

Because Coppola is a maverick to begin with, it's really hard to say what decision he will make in the next second.

Therefore, when she saw the person coming to the front desk, this girl Ma Su was chatting with the person stupidly. Fortunately, her English was pretty good. Looking at her posture, she really didn't regard herself as an outsider.

Sure enough, if you look at the person, he is wearing a red down jacket, a red top hat, a huge beard, and a kind smile. He looks like Santa Claus.

Ye Ming walked over with a smile and said: "Director Coppola, I really didn't expect that you would be able to come by yourself. I thought you would be cheering and surrounded by a large group of people. Looking at your posture, could it be that Do you want to spend your Christmas in China?"

Coppola greeted Ma Su with a smile on his face, then stretched out his arms to hug Ye Ming and said, "Dear Ye, don't think of me as an old man who talks about pomp and circumstance. That's pomp and circumstance only for big stars. How can I, a bad old man, afford such a grand display?"

Speaking of which, although Coppola laughs at himself as an old man, few people know that such an old man is actually one of the four major directors in Hollywood. In Hollywood, he is one of the few who dares to work with producers. He is a ruthless character who works against the filmmakers, and even says that he might as well become his own producer and make his own films.

Francis Coppola is definitely one of the super predators standing at the top of the Hollywood film and television industry.

If Hollywood superstars like Nicolas Cage are kings, then Coppola and a few other great directors are the kings of kings, and they can buy back those who create kings.

Ye Ming politely asked Kebo to leave, leaving behind a surprised Ma Su. At this moment, Wang Baoqiang slowly walked over wearing a black down jacket. When he saw the surprised Ma Su, he He said curiously: "Sister Ma Su. What are you doing, are you in a daze?"

Ma Su glanced at Wang Baoqiang and said, "Baoqiang, do you think my sister is very lucky today? I actually talked to Mr. Coppola for more than five minutes just now." Wang Baoqiang was stunned. This is Who and whom? He thought for a moment and showed an innocent smile and said: "Coppola? Who is this person? I have never heard of him. Is he very powerful?"

Ma Su suddenly fell into a state of rage. He looked at Wang Baoqiang as if he were an alien and said: "I said Baoqiang, do you think you are an alien? I asked you to read more books and you are If you don’t do it well, you must know that now you are also a star. It is always good to read more books. You don’t know who Coppola is. You know Lucas and Spielberg, right?”

They are two of the most successful commercial directors in Hollywood. It is estimated that few people in the film and television industry do not know about these two directors.

Wang Baoqiang nodded and said: "Star Wars and Jaws, of course I know this, a great director in Hollywood."

Ma Su said firmly: "This Coppola is one of the four major Hollywood directors along with Lucas and Spielberg. The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now are all his works. This is a A great director that everyone admires. Even in Hollywood, I don’t know how many actors hope to chat with Mr. Coppola. It seems that my luck is really good, sister. I’m going to buy lottery tickets today. Can you go? go."

At this time, Wang Baoqiang was still secretly calculating in his heart, what kind of position would he have if he was as famous as Lucas and Spielberg? That was an existence he needed to look up to.

He was not familiar with Coppola, but there were a few people in the film circle who didn't know about The Godfather and a few who didn't know about Apocalypse Now. Coppola was the director of these movies.

At this time, Wang Baoqiang finally came to his senses: "Oh my god, he is such a great director. How did the boss invite such a great director over? Sister Ma Su, what did you just say you were going to do?"

Ma Su rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you going to buy lottery tickets?"

I am Wang Baoqiang and shook his head and said: "My mother said that buying lottery tickets is no different from gambling. They are both things only people who dream of having pie in the sky do." (To be continued)
