Chapter 104 102, scared to death

As always, nothing special today!

Arrived at the company at nine o'clock in the morning, held a small meeting, signed a few documents, and Han Shanye planned to go around the factory.

The Lantern Festival has not yet arrived, and the New Year is not over, but most of the crews in the Beiying Factory have already started work.

Like "Gege II", like "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin", which is making up some scenes, like the low-budget movie "Platform"...

Of course, what Han Shanye cares most about is Sun Hao who is in Studio No. [-] at the moment...

Sun Hao, at a very young age, made the world-shattering masterpiece "The Chainsaw". In just two weeks, the global box office of this film has exceeded 4200 million US dollars. Haha.... Great director's eyes.

In Hollywood, some small media even call Sun Hao the father of Asian horror movies.

Han Shanye shook his head and sighed, and opened the door of the office, but before he could go out, Yu Dong, who came to go through the resignation formalities, led a middle-aged man towards the factory director's office.

Seeing Han Shanye, Yu Dong immediately smiled and made an introduction:
"Mr. Huang, this is President Han. After the establishment of China Film Group, President Han will also serve as the vice chairman of the newly established company, focusing on the film and television business."

"Hello Mr. Han!"

The middle-aged man's attitude was very humble, and he was almost ready to bow 90 degrees to Han Shanye.

"Oh...you are fine too!"

Although Han Shanye kindly extended his hand to him, his eyes were full of questions when he looked at Yu Dong.

Who is this guy?

You bring him to meet me.

Yu Dong winked, and immediately smiled:
"Mr. Han, this is the contract director of New Line Film Company in the United States. His name is Huang Yiyu. He was born on Hong Kong Island and immigrated to San Diego, California, United States when he was ten years old."

"Oh…"

Han Shanye's expression was very light.

New Line Cinema, although it was acquired by Warner in 1993, has not performed very well because its film business is independent.

A contracted director of a film company whose performance is not very good is not worthy of being personally received by him.

Hehe... I just don't know what the hell this guy Yu Dong is doing? !
Perhaps it was because he understood Han Shanye's face, the middle-aged man named Huang Yiyu immediately stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Han, I'm here to discuss cooperation with our China Film Group."

"Oh, come in!"

In a flash, Han Shanye let him into the factory director's office.

"Mr. Han, it's like this, because the movie "Chainsaw" directed by Sun Hao has been shown in the world, it has set off a boom in the shooting of low-budget horror movies.

Following the trend, I also wrote a movie script "The Terminator", I hope to chat with your company about cooperation..."

However, before Huang Yiyu finished speaking, Han Shanye waved his hand.

"Mr. Huang, you are Chinese, I can tell you something straight.

Horror and thriller movies are not allowed to be released in our mainland, so we definitely cannot cooperate with each other. "

"No, President Han, my script is really good!
It is about a group of high school students going on vacation, the protagonist suddenly had a hallucination while waiting for a flight at the airport, the plane exploded, so he desperately prevented his classmates from getting on the plane..."

Han Shanye is quite personable. Even if he knew that this script was pretty good, he couldn't show it in the mainland at all. Sitting on the sofa, he still listened to the story patiently.

Seeing that Huang Yiyu had stopped, he just stood up and smiled.

"Mr. Huang, I'm sorry, this kind of film really can't be released in the mainland, so I advise you to find a film investor in Hong Kong Island or the United States!"

After speaking, Han Shanye turned around and was about to leave, but at this time, Huang Yiyu was really anxious.

"Mr. Han, let's be honest, I'm here to beg you, please help me.

If you're willing to help me, I'm willing to give you $[-]..."

"Oh, tell me carefully?"

Han Shanye, who was interested, sat down again.

It's not that he covets the $[-] promised by Huang Yiyu, but Han Shanye is really curious about what kind of problems he has encountered in order to be so forthright and generous.

You know, it costs less than $150 to buy a [-]-square-meter house in Beijing.

"Mr. Han, that's it.

I used to work in a TV station and served as the screenwriter and director of the famous American TV series "The X-Files". Once, I accidentally saw a scrap of this TV series and was immediately interested.

Then I left the TV station and went to New Line Cinema, so I persuaded my new owner to buy the idea and let me start adapting the story idea. "

"Um…"

As soon as he heard this, Han Shanye asked curiously: "Mr. Huang, can you tell me what kind of idea it is?

Let you remember it for a few years..."

"Of course, the idea is actually very simple, that is, a certain young man has a special ability, he can perceive the occurrence of some disasters in advance, but no matter how he reminds him, his companions can't escape the fate of being killed by disasters anyway, um , and of course young people themselves!"

"Oh…"

Han Shanye replied casually, and then motioned to Huang Yiyu to continue.

Story ideas like this are all rotten in the mainland. In Chinese opera and film academy, any student from the literature department that you can pick up at random is better than this one, and you still grab it.

"With the story frame and my script completed, I will wait until the funds are available in March to start shooting the film.

However, then an accident happened.

The executives of New Line Films didn't know if it was a cramp or water, and without my knowledge, they sold the story idea and frame to Harvey, the founder of Miramax Films, for $[-]. . Weinstein. "

puff…

Shocked!

Han Shanye, who was sitting in the office, and Yu Dong all had unbelievable expressions on their faces.

The idea of ​​such a bad story can be sold for 13 US dollars. I have to say that the energy of the Hollywood Screenwriters Association is really goddamn [-]!

In addition to being shocked, Han Shanye also had new doubts.

"Mr. Huang, I'm sorry to interrupt, what happened to you doesn't seem like we can help you much?"

"Why can't you help?" Huang Yiyu stood up angrily.

"I asked someone, the famous Hollywood old man Harvey Weinstein, the reason why he bought this little-known story frame and idea is that it has something to do with your country's Sun Hao.

"Chainsaw" is on fire.

Its distribution companies Columbia Pictures and Miramax Pictures both hope that Sun Hao can strike while the iron is hot to make a sequel, but Sun Hao is not willing, he does not want to repeat himself.

Therefore, Sun Hao sold the script adaptation rights and the sequel remake rights of the film to Harvey Weinstein. Harvey Weinstein, in order to express his gratitude, bought the idea and story framework that I liked. It was given to Sun Hao. "

Uh…

Han Shanye was a little speechless.

Seriously, this guy is really unlucky enough, this is like the astronaut in the former Soviet Union, who is still floating in space, but the country is gone!
"Cough cough cough..."

The person who coughed was Yu Dong. Seeing that Huang Yiyu and Han Shanye were all looking at this guy, he said:
"Mr. Huang, I don't know something. Since the senior management of New Line Film Company is optimistic about this project and told you to proceed, why did you sell it?"

"Um…"

Huang Yiyu suddenly became embarrassed.

"The original female executive has resigned."
