This director is very reliable

Chapter 341 Business Development (34)

In Shen Changlin's impression, there are many Chinese actresses who play soy sauce in Hollywood, but the most impressive one is Yang Tianbao...

Independence Day 2: Resurgence!
Well, in "Independence Day 2", Yang Tianbao played quite a lot of time, not counting soy sauce, of course, it was only limited to playing time.

The role has no effect on the plot...

As for the acting skills, he can always keep a bewildered smile, and won the true biography of the master!
Of course, there is nothing to say about this bad movie, all of them have no acting skills, and I don't see how the leading actor Liam Hemsworth is better than Tempo...

The final effect was also good. "Independence Day 2" had a global box office of 3.89 million U.S. dollars, and the mainland grossed 7600 million U.S. dollars.

——By the way, it is said that in the mainland version, her role has been cut a lot, and it is not even comparable to the international version. Probably the producer knows her catch-up effect...

Therefore, when Shi Shi mentioned Hollywood blockbusters, Shen Changlin immediately thought of "Independence Day 2"...

Shi Shi was decisively interested: "How did you know about the news of "Independence Day 2"?"

"...It's just that Hollywood occasionally sends out invitations to collaborate..."Independence Day 2" is among them...They want us to invest together."

"Invest together?" Shi Shi thought for a while and asked immediately, "Is it because the risk is too high?"

"It's almost... and I want to make a co-production film, so that it doesn't take the share of imported films..."

"Then do you agree?"

"No..." Shen Changlin shook his head: "I read the script, "Independence Day 2" is completely political flattery..."

political fawning...

Female president chant!
It was released before the general election, and I wanted to be a prophet.

Hollywood has a lot of political fawning too…

Of course, screwed up, it belongs to reverse prophecy...

"Then..."Godzilla" can I take it?"

"...Whatever, I don't think it's necessary anyway. Even if you star in it, it's unlikely that you will break into Hollywood. Your foundation is still in China."

Shen Changlin didn't think about it at all...

He doesn't really want to give advice on this kind of thing, after all, it doesn't matter to him whether he goes to Hollywood or not, it's very tasteless.

Shi Shi is still pursuing his acting career, so he asked: "Why is it impossible to break into Hollywood?"

"Why break into Hollywood?"

Before she could speak, Shen Changlin said by himself: "The potential of the domestic market is not weaker than that of the United States, and now it is developing explosively. It is too labor-intensive to enter Hollywood, and if you go there, your endorsement and appearance fees will not be so Add, don’t think that showing your face in a Hollywood blockbuster is a sign of entering the world and going international. Zhang Ziyi acted in "Memoirs of a Geisha" back then, a big production, how did it turn out? It’s not like she returned to China to develop her career!"

Shi Shi pondered for a while, and it was indeed so...

But she was still a little unconvinced: "...I am the heroine!"

"...So, let me say whatever you want, just take it as a way to increase your knowledge, to see a big Hollywood production!"

"Then do you like "Godzilla"?"

"...I'm not a god... I only know that Roland Emmerich, the director of "Independence Day" made a version of "Godzilla" in 98, with a global box office of 3.6 million, which seems to be a loss... By the way, you Who is the director of this version?"

"It seems to be called... Gareth Edwards..."

"He, he's fine!"

Gareth Edwards, the director of "Star Wars: Rogue One", has a background in visual effects.

Under his direction, "Godzilla" sold more than [-] million U.S. dollars worldwide. Based on this, Legend created the Monster Universe.

"Then how should I reply?"

Reply?

Shen Changlin looked at her suspiciously: "...they asked you to act directly?"

"That's not it, it's an audition invitation..."

"Then you go and have a look, I just happen to be going to America too!"

"...Why are you going to America?"

"I am busy."

……

Shen Changlin did have something to do. For the "Megalodon" project, New Line made concessions and agreed to co-produce. Columbia was kicked out, and Warner followed up...

Because the right to adapt is in the hands of New Line!

New Line is an independent film company that produced "The Lord of the Rings". Later, "The Golden Compass" was ambitious and cost [-] million U.S. dollars, starring Nicole Kidman. Declared bankruptcy, then acquired by Warner.

But New Line has a lot of copyrights.

"The Hobbit", "Return of the Clown", "Rush Hour" including Marvel's Blade Runner.

Wen Ziren is also bound to this company - Rob Cowan, the producer of the "Conjuring" series, is the producer of New Line, and he is also the CEO of the film department of New Line...

Therefore, most of Wan Ziren's works are produced by him.

"Fast 7" doesn't count, "Fast 7" is Universal's work.

Shen Changlin's visit this time is to settle the final negotiation of "The Megalodon", and secondly...invite Wen Ziren to be the director of "The Megalodon".

After all, he can export "Sea King", and "Megalodon" is also a creature in the ocean, so it's not a big problem...

Also, get Dwayne Johnson and let him star in "The Megalodon."

Guo Dashen's appeal is still not as good as Dashi Johnson.

Rob Cowan is also a producer on "Crash Apocalypse"…

So, the key is to convince Rob Cowan.

Some time ago, I heard that this guy had a bad attitude towards Yang Fan. A few times ago, Yang Fan proposed to jointly develop "Megalodon", and he was rejected directly without any conditions...

The original words are 'Even if the copyright is in bad hands, I will not consider cooperating with the Chinese'!
Very tough!
Then, this time, he took the initiative to invite Shen Changlin to the United States...

The reason for being arrogant and respectful is very simple. One is that "The Fault in Our Stars" is a big hit in North America. Shen Changlin and Changlin Film and Television are not amateurs. On the other hand, the potential of the Chinese market is visible.

Laomei also attaches great importance to overseas markets, after all, the domestic market is close to saturation.

Of course, it is not like us, playing with discrimination...

……

After arriving in Los Angeles, I first went to the Los Angeles office...

Sailing... It was too economical, so I rented a desk and named it 'Long Crocodile Media'...

Where is the crocodile?
"Anyway, it's just a shell company. It's fine if you can divide the accounts and enter the accounts... If you divide the accounts and enter the accounts, you can directly find an accounting company. We don't need an office space!"

"Then why are you renting a desk?"

"Isn't this for paying taxes..."

Shen Changlin was very curious: "I saw a lot of people on the Internet talking about tax avoidance, so let's avoid it too!"

Yang Fan was speechless: "Boss, tax avoidance is for consumption and investment. We don't spend a dime in the United States. Why should we avoid tax?"

Shen Changlin was very dissatisfied: "The United States takes jujube pills, which is too unfriendly to foreign capitalists!"

After reaching a conclusion, Shen Changlin and Yang Fan went back to the hotel.

On the way, the two chatted about the North American response of "The Thieves". The film has been released in North America for six weeks and is close to release, with a cumulative box office of 3020 million US dollars...

Not bad, surpassing "Fearless", second only to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Heroes" and "Red Fan District", ranking fourth!
"Columbia heard that we were going to make "The Thief 2" and was very interested, and put forward an offer of 2800 million US dollars!"

"Forget it this time, let's not buy out exclusively, and sign an agreement to share dividends in proportion!"

"...Okay, by the way, A Mou's "The Great Buddha" will also be released in North America, should we help run the Oscars?"

"Best Foreign Language Film?"

"Yes."

"...get a better PR team."

　Have a date tonight...
