Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh time is precious

What a big house, this area is tens of thousands of square meters, right?

In the black Rolls-Royce sedan, a young man looked at the various facilities in the manor through the window and said, If it is placed in China, which film director can afford such a mansion.

Make money like this? he asked next to him.

Zuo Shan eagle patted the young man's arm lightly, Liu, have you seen Batman: Time for War released in China last year?

I've seen it.

The young man named Xiao Liu immediately nodded and said, An interesting movie.

Do you know how much Duke Rosenberg took from this movie?

Before waiting for the young man to answer, Zuo Shandiao raised a finger, Not counting his share dividends, just by virtue of his directorship, he took at least $100 million in after-tax income.

This...so much... Xiao Liu couldn't help widening his eyes.

This is just a figure announced to the public, and it should actually be more or less. Zuo Shandiao sighed, Xiao Liu, you are about to go to the film school. This time the old leader asked me to bring you here because he wanted you to Take a look at the latest developments in the world's film industry, and feel the style of the industry's top directors...

I know!

Although they are bastards in some aspects, these people who have received elite education are undoubtedly extremely serious in their attitude towards business affairs, and they also have a clear priority, so Xiao Liu nodded heavily, Duke Rosenborg Always been my idol.

If he can have half of him in the future, no... even if he has only a quarter or even one-fifth of his achievements, it would be worthwhile for him to choose the film industry.

They parked the Rolls-Royce sedan they picked up in front of a fancy villa, someone came over and opened the door immediately, Xiao Liu sorted out his dress, and carved the car following a mountain.

The first thing he saw was the master standing at the door of the villa. It was a man and a woman. The man was Duke Rosenberg. He looked like he was in his early thirties. He had short brown hair that stood up and looked particularly energetic. His dark brown eyes were almost black. It's like a bottomless pool, no matter how you look, you can't see the bottom.

Even if he has never really been in a relationship, his education since childhood told Xiao Liu that he must be a wise and determined person.

The blond woman standing next to him is a standard American girl, although from an oriental point of view, her face is a bit tough. But sexy enough.

Xiao Liu knew this woman, a not-so-small Hollywood actress. Judging from the fact that she was holding Duke Rosenberg, she should be the super director's girlfriend.

In recent years, with the increasing degree of freedom of information. A lot of Hollywood information has also spread there. For example, this director is the most famous Hollywood director there, and various romantic affairs about him are also circulating on the Internet. Even Xiao Liu has read a piece of lace news that the Hollywood stars he has been in contact with can form a reinforcement platoon.

but. Xiao Liu didn't think much about it. On this occasion, in his capacity, he would never act rudely. Following behind the mountain sculpture, he walked towards the door of the villa.

Hello, Mr. Han, welcome to be a guest.

Taking two steps forward, Duke shook the other's outstretched hand and introduced, This is Miss Scarlett Johansson.

Zuo Shandiao shook hands with Scarlett, and then introduced the young man named Xiao Liu to Duke. Under Duke's guidance, the group entered the small banquet hall.

The dinner was held in the form of a formal dinner. Both parties knew that the so-called dinner was just a formality. Duke invited Zuo Shandiao to come over for a purpose. Zuoshandiao was willing to accept an American director's banquet, and it was definitely not for a meal. dinner.

After a short dinner, the two parties changed to a reception room facing the sea, and they chatted about the local customs and customs of both sides, and the topic gradually turned to the same industry they are engaged in - film.

Cinema is one of the infrastructures that exist in the film industry. Zuoshan carved coffee, put down his cup, and said, Warner and China Film Co., Ltd. have built more than 50 theater companies, and they are still using each of them. The speed of the five homes increased.”

He suddenly sent an invitation, Director Rosenberg, we have always had close cooperation. On behalf of China Film Group, I would like to invite you to participate in the China-US Film Forum held in November this year.

I can't confirm the itinerary right now.

After all, the time is still far away, and Duke can't be sure whether he can make the trip by then, and he didn't rush to agree, otherwise it would be even more troublesome if he couldn't go, Mr. Han, it will take some time before I can answer you.

I understand. Zuo Shandiao laughed, Director Rosenberg is busy.

His topic suddenly changed, I don't know what other movie plans will Director Rosenberg have in the future besides the current Iron Man?

You can probably guess the purpose of these mountain eagles, Duke thought for a while, and said, For now, there are only a sequel to Batman and a movie about robots.

I wonder if Director Rosenberg has considered investment from China? Zuo Shandiao asked suddenly.

Duke didn't go around in circles, and raised his eyebrows slightly, Mr. Han, is your China Film Group interested in investing in my film?

The mountain eagle nodded slowly, It does mean that.

Since China Film Group officially introduced Hollywood movies, the other party's films are the most popular and best-selling films in its own market. By the turn of the century, there were even a large number of Duke Rosenberg's fans. China Film Group introduced The films directed by him are almost always the best-grossing films and the most profitable ones.

After all, capital is profit-seeking, whether it comes from the private sector or the government.

After thinking for a while, Duke said, Hollywood is about international cooperation, and I personally do not exclude investment from outside Hollywood. But Mr. Han, you should go to Warner Bros. to discuss specific terms.

With the current development situation, Warner Bros. may not completely reject the investment of the other party, but these foreign funds may only get a share of the box office. It is basically impossible to divide the cake from the surrounding area.

Duke's attitude is obvious. He does not exclude nor take the initiative to participate. He is only responsible for making movies, and from the very beginning to the present, except that Independence Day is too American, and the subject of Chicago is relatively small, his other films All were introduced by China Film Group.

Relatively speaking, he is a director who has a very neutral attitude towards the other side of the Pacific.

The introduction of such a director's films will undoubtedly reduce a lot of political troubles for China Film Group.

Generally speaking, the two sides had a pleasant talk. This kind of cooperation is a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Duke needs the market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean in the future. China Film Group has made a lot of profit by introducing his films, which has laid a sufficient foundation for the cooperation between the two parties.

Director Rosenberg...

It is impossible for the mountain sculpture to stay for too long. After more than half an hour, he said goodbye, and when he left, he said to Duke, China Film Group sincerely invites you to shoot a movie with us, and we also hope to watch it. There are Chinese actors or behind-the-scenes personnel who can participate in the top production of your top director.

Duke shook his hand. It will be in the future.

As long as the market over there breaks out, Duke will let some Chinese actors start playing soy sauce in his films.

For example, according to his plan, when Transformers is released, the market on the other side of the Pacific will enter a stage of rapid development, and he intends to appropriately introduce a few actors from there.

Moreover, Transformers has extraordinary meaning to many people on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. As long as it works well, it will definitely become a series of crazy money-making movies. Optimus Prime and Megatron will never be erased by many people. memory.

The difficulty of this series is relatively small. As long as the special effects can be guaranteed, Optimus Prime and Megatron are always present, and attendance can be guaranteed.

According to Duke's idea, for commercial considerations, Optimus Prime and Megatron will keep falling in love and killing each other on the big screen, and even if they die, they can be resurrected.

Even at the right time, it is entirely possible to introduce the opposite actor and become one of the main actors of the series.

After sending the two of them away, Duke returned to the living room and sat on the sofa. He was still thinking about future plans. His planning table has been in the pipeline for several years, and they are basically commercial films with large investment and production. Every year The speed of a film is almost the limit.

As for the Oscars, since he won the best director with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Duke has not considered hitting the Oscars in his plan. Unless the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences changes its style and no longer discriminates against commercial films, he will basically agree with him. Oscar is gone.

However, Duke, who understands the increasingly niche Oscar trend in the future, knows that the possibility is infinitely small.

Although many people criticize his completely commercial production style, Duke knows exactly what he likes and what he needs. He will not change his planned path just because a few people criticize him.

As he first thought when he entered Hollywood, is there any fun in making movies that he doesn't even like?

Those dull literary films may be synonymous with elegance or art in the eyes of some people, but Duke is very clear that letting him make such films, not to mention the issues of style, concept and technique, just interest is enough. suffocate him.

For example, there is news in the circle that a director who was expelled by him once won the appreciation of some people with the concept of one shot to the end, and finally pulled the investment, but Duke didn't care at all.

Maybe the other side can win big at the Oscars in the future, but what does that matter? Not to mention other things, that director just for the mere millions of dollars of investment, grinding his mouth for several years?

Time is precious and he won't waste it on anything he doesn't think is worth it. (To be continued ~^~)
