Chapter 558 Chapter 556, chicken thief

Fried eggs, bacon, hash browns, milk...

The breakfast of the Americans is pitiful with few varieties, and there are only a few of them.But there is no way, in order to fill my stomach, I have to eat it no matter how I hate it.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, after running back, Sun Hao and Zeng Li were doing their best to deal with a food called "Scones with Gravy" in the downstairs restaurant, and the sleepy Yu Dong also came over.

"Morning!"

"morning!"

"I saw the entertainment news just now, Haozi, now you can say that you have already enjoyed the treatment of James Cameron and Steven Spielberg in Hollywood~ The new movie was a little turbulent, and it was immediately covered by dozens of companies. The media rushed to report!"

Regarding breakfast, Yu Dong asked for milk and sandwiches, brought the food over, sat down opposite Sun Hao and Zeng Li, and started chatting.

"It's useless.

This is Hollywood, whether it is the media or the boss of a film and television company, it is very realistic, you can help them earn money, let alone being reported by entertainment news, you can just kneel down and call your father;
But if you lose your investment, even if it's just a movie, they probably won't talk to you if you kneel down and call them daddy. "

"Haha..., that's true!" Yu Dong thought for a while and smiled brightly.

"Oh, by the way, Haozi, now that there is a news page, how many performance contracts do you think we will receive?"

"How many copies?
I don't know, it depends on how strong Tom Cruise is in the lead?If he is strong, the rest of the people can basically keep up.

However, Lao Yu, I have received another performance contract. "

"Oh... whose?"

"Li Lianjie."

"he…"

Yu Dong was taken aback for a moment, everyone transited from Hong Kong Island together, and they were all seated in the business class, did he not say that he came to Sun Hao for resources? !
"Haozi, you agree?"

"Is it a promise?"

"Oh, how do you say it?"

The word "calculate" made Yu Dong suddenly curious.

"Steven Spielberg likes a movie script "Munich" I created very much. I talked to Zeng Li last time, and I agreed to transfer it to him. Today, this guy came to sign the contract.

And with Steven Spielberg, and his friend Time Warner COO John Stankey..."

"Time Warner?"

Yu Dong was surprised. In the industry, everyone knows that Sun Hao's partners are very regular. In China, they are China Film, Bona Pictures, and Yinghuang Entertainment, while in the United States, they are Miramax Films and Columbia Pictures.

Unexpectedly, Sun Hao has now connected with another film and television company.

"Yes, Time Warner!
This company has a big IP called "Batman", and Time Warner's chief operating officer John Stankey hopes that I can take over and direct this series of movies. "

"You agreed?" Yu Dong asked after rolling his eyes.

"Not yet, isn't it time to negotiate conditions? And Li Lianjie is one of the conditions."

"Jet Li as Batman?"

At this moment, Yu Dong really admired Sun Hao's brain.

"Why, can't you?"

Sun Hao smiled and didn't speak any more.

Sometimes, people are always used to fixed thinking, all superheroes are Westerners, but the only Chinese superhero is Sun Wukong.

But if you break this fixed thinking, you may usher in a new world, for example, "Kung Fu Panda" Po's father turned out to be a croaking duck...

~~~~~~~~~

Before coming, the board of directors of the company asked someone to do a professional assessment!

From James Cameron, Steven Spielberg..., to the up-and-coming British director Christopher Nolan.

Evaluate these directors' professional ability, professionalism, control over the overall budget, and ability to control various big-name actors.

Contrary to the expectations of the board of directors, among these directors, Sun Hao, a young director from China, scored the highest.

The first is budget execution.Since his debut, Sun Hao has not only never exceeded his budget, but also has a surplus every time.Just like the movie "The Fast and the Furious", with an investment of 1.9 million US dollars, the crew still has 3100 million US dollars left to spend. It is said that his next movie "The Hangover" will be shot with this money.

In stark contrast to this, is James Cameron. When this dude makes a movie, his ability to "overrun his budget" will definitely make a big Hollywood movie investor carry a hemp rope to hang himself on the southeast branch.

The second is professional ability.This is very easy to evaluate, nothing more than word of mouth and box office.In terms of these two aspects, Sun Hao's ability goes without saying. From "Saw" to "The Martian" just released, one is counted as one, and the word-of-mouth and movie box office are both top and top strong.

And "The Martian" is still the second highest-grossing movie in history.

Once again, it is the mastery of big actors.In this respect, Sun Hao is slightly weaker, and he has not had the opportunity to show this ability, because the person who cooperated with him before, the biggest guy is Yi Long.

……

Compared with the above-mentioned basic evaluation items, as a director, Sun Hao has another ability that other directors do not have, and that is the promotion and distribution of movies.

"Kun Chi Yan", a supernatural event, was reported by various media in the world; "Train to Busan", 20 Seoul youths took to the streets to march, the first time in history that there was such a large-scale action to protest the release of a movie...

Just as I was thinking, the street cafe arrived.

I made an appointment with Sun Hao to meet here.

Pushing the door and getting out of the car, he straightened his clothes, Time Warner's Chief Operating Officer John Stankey followed behind his friend Steven Spielberg, and entered the cafe with a smile on his face.

"Hi, Sun!"

"Hello, Steven."

Although the two met for the first time, they hugged and exchanged greetings like old friends, and even had a kiss.

"Hi, Director Sun Hao, I'm John Stankey, currently working for Time Warner."

"Hi, I'm Sun Hao!"

Compared with just now, the two people were much more formal. They shook hands and smiled, then each took a step back and sat opposite the coffee table.

"Steven, this is the copyright assignment contract for the movie script "Munich". You can take it back and ask a lawyer to study it. If there are no problems, just sign it and fax it to me."

"OK, all right!"

Steven Spielberg was a little excited, glanced at the contract text, and put it in his carry-on bag.

When I go back today, I should be ready to prepare for this movie!

"Director Sun Hao, "Munich", our company also studied it at the time, and found that the script of this movie is really good. Why didn't you keep it and shoot it yourself?"

Unlike other people who like to go straight to the point, in terms of negotiation, John Stankey prefers to be roundabout. He will start with the topic that the other party is most interested in, from shallow to deep, and take his time.

"Mainly because I don't have time!"

Sun Hao smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"Mr. John Stankey, now my work schedule is full, tomorrow "The Hangover" will start shooting, and the shooting time will be about half a month.

After the filming is completed, I will take "Fast and Furious" and "The Hangover" back to China for post-production editing.Like "Fast and Furious", it is very strict in post-production special effects.

Next, I will direct a party about the bid to host the Olympics, and then I will go to Taiwan Province of my country to film the TV series "Prison Break" that has been in preparation for more than half a year..."

John Stankey regretted it a little.

His grandma has a leg, and Sun Hao is such a thug. First, he portrays himself as a very busy person. If he is invited to direct a movie, he must offer a higher price.

Eh..., if I had known this, I should have directly pointed out the purpose of my visit just now.

However, John Stankey is not a vegetarian either. He turned the coffee cup in his hand and asked with a smile:

"Director Sun Hao, you are so sure that Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie and others will take over your latest movie "The Hangover".

If they don't accept it, I think your film will not be able to shoot normally tomorrow, right? "

"Have!"

Sun Hao answered very positively.
