I became popular on the stage

Chapter 665 With one heart, drive Lin Xuan out of Hollywood (two in one, please subscribe)

On the day that "Transformers" was released.

Lin Xuan held a grand celebration party at Second World Film Company.All the actors of the crew and all the employees of the film company participated in the celebration banquet.

Everyone was excited, with smiles on their faces.

"so happy."

"Haha, I'm so excited."

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin."

"Congratulations Brother Xuan."

"We turned around completely."

"The door of Hollywood has been opened to China since then."

Guan Yuman came to Lin Xuan with a glass of red wine, his beautiful eyes flashed: "Lin Xuan, thank you. This time you have fulfilled my movie dream."

Lin Xuan chuckled: "You don't need to thank me, that's because you are good enough, Sister Yuman. And in "Transformers", you actually don't have many roles."

Guan Yuman smiled and said, "This is good. If there are many scenes, I may not be able to handle it. Will I still have a place in the movies you shoot in the future?"

Lin Xuan did not hesitate: "There must be, there must be."

Guan Yuman's eyes brightened: "Okay! Then from today onwards, I will go to learn acting skills and wait for your play."

Next to her, manager Su Ting was stunned: "Sister Man, what about the music scene?"

Are you too capricious?
Now you are not only the queen of music in China, but you have even joined the ranks of third-tier singers in the world.Apart from Lin Xuan, Guan Yuman is basically the most famous Chinese singer in the world.

Well now.

Guan Yuman didn't care about the music world, but went directly to the film world.

Lin Xuan laughed and was about to speak when he saw Adonis walking over and drank the red wine in his hand: "Mr. Lin, if you have a new movie in the future, I hope we can cooperate again."

Anthony also came: "That's right, I'm just dubbing this time, I'm a little upset."

Barron laughed loudly: "That's right, although I like Megatron very much, but the dubbing still makes me useless. Director Lin, I hope you can create another mech science fiction script in the future, so that we can act in it in person." That kind. Even if the salary is halved, I would be willing to join."

"There is a chance."

Lin Xuan replied with a smile.

At the same time, I was happy. It seemed that I had won the trust of these Hollywood superstars with a movie.Originally, these people were able to act in his movies because they had some favors in them, but now they are convinced by Lin Xuan.With the approval of these superstars, he will be more confident in making blockbuster films in the future.

As for movies that allow these Hollywood superstars to display their acting skills, he can easily come up with quite a few.

Although he knew that he would invite Anthony and others, the pay was sky-high.But the two sides are cooperating for a win-win situation, and Lin Xuan is of course happy to see it succeed.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Barron's eyes lit up: "Is there really a chance?"

"of course."

Lin Xuan nodded, but quickly said: "However, I have no idea about the content of the next mecha sci-fi. Now the company's next main task should be the filming of "Transformers 2."

The crowd took it for granted.

What Hollywood is best at is the shooting of blockbuster series of movies. As long as the first movie is successful, then the second, third, and fourth will be released... Especially the ending of the movie that everyone has seen, in "Transformation" At the end of the movie of King Kong, Starscream, the second character of the Decepticons, did not die, but escaped from the earth, which means that the movie is not over, so on the premise that the box office is as high as 12.5 billion, it is logical to shoot the second part .

thought here.

Everyone is even more emotional: What is the most profitable Hollywood movie?It is a series of streaming movies. If a movie can produce a series, it is completely a box office harvester.Therefore, many Hollywood blockbusters basically have an open ending, just to operate as a series of movies, but the series of movies are not so easy to produce, box office, word of mouth, and fan base are all indispensable.Who would have thought that Lin Xuan's first Hollywood film would not only be a box office hit, but also have a chance to become a series blockbuster?Lin Xuan's talent is truly terrifying.

Seeing the complexity in everyone's eyes, Lin Xuan instantly understood everyone's inner thoughts.

He smiled slightly.

Box office harvester?
series?

what is this!
I'm afraid that everyone in the world has not thought of the most profitable part of "Transformers". The box office is only a small part, and the big part is still to come.

After the celebration banquet.

Lin Xuan immediately called Huang Ming, and held a global video conference in the company.

All the executives of the second world gathered together, there was confusion in each other's eyes, and of course more excitement and excitement.Because they knew that every time Lin Xuan held an all-hands meeting, there were basically important things happening.

Many people are whispering.

"What is Mr. Lin going to do?"

"It must be a big deal."

"Nonsense, don't I know it's a big deal?"

"Guess."

"Who can guess Mr. Lin's thoughts?"

"..."

soon.

The meeting begins.

Lin Xuan looked around for a week, and said in a deep voice: "The purpose of calling everyone here today is to let the company set up a special department to operate "Transformers"."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

"Isn't Transformers just a movie? There is also a special department?"

"No? What does that mean?"

"Maybe there's going to be a movie sequel."

"Even if it's a sequel, there's no need to set up a special department, right? Because if it's just a general department, Mr. Lin wouldn't hold a special meeting to discuss it, so this department must be highly valued by Mr. Lin."

We don't know why.

Even Ma Bin showed doubts on his face.

Lin Xuan smiled: "Do you think "Transformers" is just a movie?"

With that said, he turned on the computer and connected to the projector at the same time.

Soon, a line of text appeared on the projector: "Transformers" IP operation.

Lin Xuan talked eloquently: "This is the planning plan that I took time to write out during the month when "Transformers" was released. Because in my opinion, "Transformers" is far more than just a movie. For example:
One, it could form a series of movies, continuing the 2/3/4/5 series.

Second, it can be animeized, because in the movie, the story of "Transformers" is too simple, it can be enriched and turned into a series of anime to attract anime fans.

Third, it can also be gamified. The blood of the mech can be best reflected in the game.And it can also interact with other games to generate greater benefits and influence.

Fourth, in the field of figures, with the shape of mechas such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee, it will definitely attract a large number of mecha fans.

Fifth, other business fields, such as: cards, clothes, electronic robots, stickers, toys... and many other industries can incorporate transforming mechs.

sixth,……

seventh,……"

When he speaks, the corresponding detailed plan will appear on the projection screen.

Every aspect is described in great detail, and many examples are also listed.

Everyone was stunned.

No one spoke, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Especially Ma Bin and other leaders of the Second World were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out.Looking at the content on the projection screen, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

OMG!

They originally thought that "Transformers" was just a commercial movie that exploded at the box office, but they didn't expect it to be able to extend such a huge IP industry?

Although before this, some people thought about making Megatron, Optimus Prime and other cool mechas into toys for sale, but they were just ordinary toys, and everyone didn't think so deeply at all.

But now, after Lin Xuan's in-depth analysis, everyone realizes that they may have far underestimated the potential of the movie "Transformers".

The exclamation finally sounded.

"Oh my god."

"At first, I thought that the box office of "Transformers" was as high as 12 billion US dollars, which was outrageous. I didn't expect there to be something even more terrifying?"

"Can a movie generate a big IP?"

"There are many big IPs like Hollywood, but I didn't expect Brother Xuan's first film to have such potential."

"Isn't Boss Lin too good? Now I suspect that Boss Lin has already thought about the follow-up IP industry before shooting the movie."

"Boss Lin, what a strange person."

"..."

At this time, many people realized that they seemed to have forgotten one thing. Their talent in business even far surpassed that in the entertainment industry.

Especially Ma Bin, who looked dumbfounded the whole time.He should have thought of it long ago. With Lin Xuan's nature, how could the first movie that hit Hollywood be as simple as box office?
"Cough cough..."

Looking at the worship in everyone's eyes, Lin Xuan had already developed a thick skin, but he was still a little embarrassed.

After a pause, he said: "So, after the release of "Transformers", our really busy days have just begun. Mr. Ma, this matter is of great importance, and you are responsible for it yourself. You must take advantage of the popularity of the movie, Bring out the maximum value of IP in the shortest possible time."

Letting Ma Bin take charge in person shows how much Lin Xuan attaches importance to this matter.

If Lin Xuan remembers correctly, the IP value of "Transformers" in the previous life exceeded [-] billion U.S. dollars, which is as high as [-] billion in Chinese currency!

This means that if this IP is managed well, the value of just one department of "Transformers" is comparable to a giant group worth [-] billion, so Lin Xuan did not hesitate to go all out.

……

……

When Lin Xuan was holding a high-level meeting.

Hollywood.

The Directors' Union is also having a meeting.

Almost all the core figures of the North American Directors Guild came.A crowd of blond-haired, blue-eyed figures in suits and leather shoes gathered together, with solemn eyes in everyone's eyes.

The president of the trade union is a gray-haired dignified old man named William.He glanced at the crowd, and then said after a long time: "Everyone, I think you all know the reason for calling everyone here today. The core content of our meeting today is to discuss Lin Xuan and his Second World Film Company."

"Ok, I know."

"clear."

"Everyone is aware of the seriousness of this matter, so we are here."

"It must be discussed."

"This matter is related to the future of Hollywood and even the North American film industry."

Everyone nodded.

William said in a deep voice: "Since Hollywood became the base of the film industry, it has always been exclusive to North America. In order to protect Hollywood from being invaded by outside capital, it has always been ranked at the pinnacle of the global film and television industry, so we have implemented the most strict regulations from beginning to end. It will not allow any foreign capital to enter here. Because of this, from the beginning of the last century to more than a hundred years now, Hollywood has gradually become a global film center and a sacred temple in the hearts of movie fans. .Also won global respect for the film industry in North America.

Of course, respect is only secondary.The real advantage is that, because Hollywood is exclusive to North America, it has not been eroded by foreign capital.So although it attracts the world's top directors and movie stars to come to film, the final benefits have not flowed out, but have fallen into the pockets of our own country.

But this time.

Lin Xuan is here..."

There was a pause.

William continued: "In the beginning, when Lin Xuan wanted to acquire Tai Lun Films, we didn't care. After all, a bankrupt company will not pose any threat to Hollywood. What's more, Lin Xuan paid more than [-] million yuan In the eyes of everyone, his behavior is a fool with a lot of money. Besides, there are only some ordinary employees left in Tailun Company, and all the executives and core members have left, so I heard that Lin Xuan bought such a company , we passed the contract for the acquisition of Tai Lun Film Company by the Second World for the first time. I didn’t expect it to be just this one time, and it left a hidden danger.”

"Yes."

"Who would have thought of that?"

"Oh, it's incredible."

"The key is still a mecha piece."

Everyone in the meeting room looked complicated, shaking their heads and sighing.

A bearded man stood up and said: "The global box office of "Transformers" is as high as more than one billion US dollars, which means that Lin Xuan's Second World can completely gain a firm foothold in Hollywood through this movie, which will bring about a qualitative change in the structure of Hollywood. Change. If we don’t care about this matter, then I’m afraid more and more international capital will come in. This is definitely not a good thing for North America.”

"How?"

Another man with gold-rimmed glasses frowned: "Lin Xuan acquired Tai Lun Company through formal channels, and all the employees of our directors' union signed the acquisition, and there were no procedural problems. We have no reason to make a move."

The bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly: "There is no reason to do it! Hollywood, except for North American capital, absolutely does not allow foreign companies to gain a foothold here. Especially Lin Xuan is too dangerous, a company with a lot of debt, he is actually It can be revitalized, and the first film produced "Transformers", a milestone film that subverted Hollywood mech science fiction. God knows what he will do in the future? If any Second World film company develops, it will become If companies at the level of Paramount and DreamWorks gradually erode Hollywood's resources and connections, then we are all sinners.

There is also a bigger hidden danger: as long as the Second World Film Company grows, Lin Xuan will definitely make the company a site for Chinese artists, allowing Chinese artists to continuously enter Hollywood.Mainland China has now become the largest film market outside of North America. Once Chinese artists occupy Hollywood, I am afraid that the global film market will be occupied by Chinese people.It's not even certain that Huaxia's capital will come up with a second Hollywood after thoroughly understanding Hollywood's resources and equipment. "

As soon as this was said, many people echoed.

"That's right, Lin Xuan must not stay."

"There must be a way to resolve this matter."

"Kick Lin Xuan out of Hollywood."

"Drive him away."

The voices of the crowd became louder and louder, gradually forming a unified voice.

Seeing this, William said in a deep voice: "It seems that everyone has the same idea in mind. Lin Xuan's Second World cannot be allowed to become a serious problem for Hollywood, and Hollywood cannot be invaded by other capital, so we must come up with a feasible solution. , to drive Lin Xuan out of Hollywood. I came up with three solutions:
The first method: directly tear the face off and forcibly terminate the qualification of Second World Film Company to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

The second method: in the future, we will pick thorns in various rules to make it difficult for the other party to carry out their work.

The third method: start from the movies and use a clever method to blast Lin Xuan out. "

The crowd fell silent.

After half a sound.

The bearded man said: "The first method is not appropriate, because Second World has no problem with its qualifications to enter Hollywood. If we force it, it will ruin the reputation of the Hollywood Directors Guild. If Second World is just an ordinary company, we can rely on ourselves The influence of the media quietly suppressed this matter. But although the Second World has not become popular internationally, Lin Xuan has an extraordinary identity and status, and is backed by Big Cat, a traffic channel that is more terrifying than the BBC. .Once we dare to break the rules and take action against Second World Films, I am afraid that the news will soon spread all over the world.

The second method is also not very suitable. Lin Xuan is not stupid. He must know that we will not allow Second World Films to gain a foothold in Hollywood comfortably, so he will not let us catch mistakes in the details.

There is only the third point, which has great operability. "

William nodded: "You're right. In my opinion, the third point is also the most suitable. Lin Xuan just came to Hollywood. Although he has money, talent, and even extraordinary talent in business. But After all, he is very young, we just need to design a few tricks to get Lin Xuan to take the initiative, then it should not be difficult to drive him out of Hollywood."

In business, there are too many things to set up.

As members of the directors' union, they have seen countless intrigues.They have seen with their own eyes that many scheming old foxes have been framed by exquisitely designed bureaus, and then their reputations have been ruined.Especially in a place like Hollywood, it is full of all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.Although Lin Xuan is a genius among the heavens, he is still too immature in the real shopping mall.

Moreover, William has learned specifically that Lin Xuan was able to create the second world in China and thrive, not because he has such a deep city, but because he has the official escort behind him.

Unfortunately!
This is North America!
There is no one else here to support Lin Xuan!
Therefore, William believed that as long as he dug a hole for Lin Xuan at the right time, Lin Xuan would fall badly.

……

……

Many directors in Hollywood are still struggling.

Not to mention the unlucky Langman.

Many other directors are still very uncomfortable.Each of them is a well-known director in the world, who doesn't have one or several Hollywood blockbusters under his name?

Originally, each of them was arrogant and did not take anyone else seriously.

But this time, Lin Xuan slapped them all hard with a piece of "Transformers", which made each of them lose face.

"It's a big shame this time."

"Lin Xuan is too much, he doesn't give us any face at all."

"That's right, it is said that humility and courtesy are the virtues of Chinese people? I didn't see it in Lin Xuan's expression at all."

"Lin Xuan is too aggressive. He drove Langman to a dead end just after he came to Hollywood. Will he still have it in the future?"

"Young and aggressive, domineering, not a good guy!"

If Lin Xuan heard these words, he would explode with anger.

He obviously didn't do anything, just filmed a movie normally, and even Longman came to suppress him on purpose.As a result, these directors in Hollywood don't blame Langman, but they still scold him without principle.

This also confirms one thing, when others don't like you, it is a mistake for you to drink a sip of water.

A director frowned: "Although Lin Xuan is domineering and does not have the virtues of the younger generations. But he has to admit that he has a rare talent. Look at "Transformers", from screenwriter to producer, from producer to director, and even in it Lin Xuan's music and post production are all produced by Lin Xuan alone, the key is that there is a huge company behind such a person, so once he establishes a solid foundation in Hollywood, it may not be a good thing for us."

Another director said: "Actually, if he secures the Second World Film Company, we can let him go. But you see, he just came in, and he is with Anthony, Cyril, Adonis... and other top Hollywood film companies. The movie stars are all connected, and they suppressed Langman so badly that he jumped off the building. This kid, I'm afraid it's a conspiracy!"

A certain director smiled wryly: "But what can we do? Lin Xuan is not an ordinary person, he himself is the most powerful capital, if he is just a singer or a director, even if he is the top director in the world, we There is also a way to make the other party retreat when they are united. But Lin Xuan is sitting on the Trillion Group Company, and he will be fine if he doesn't kill us. So even if we feel uncomfortable, there is no way to deal with him..."

Colleagues are enemies.

But if this peer still has the capital to crush them, then they can only endure it.

The director who spoke at the front said depressedly: "Before this, although there was competition among the eight major film companies, they all adhered to the most basic principles. They would not fight each other, but would only cooperate and win-win. But Lin Xuan broke this rule , and this guy is desperately rich, spending hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, who can bear such a bastard?"

The other person nodded again and again: "That's right, Lin Xuan himself is the capital, and with Big Cat, the world's largest publicity channel, he can maximize the publicity and maximize the benefits of the film he shoots. Even if the film fails It doesn't matter, he can make the second or third film... There is no psychological pressure at all. We are different, the films we shoot are all invested by other capital, as long as we lose once, it may be irreversible."

Having said that, he was full of depression.

"This means that in the future, even if our movies are absolutely sure of winning, don't match up with Lin Xuan. There is no benefit in winning, but there is an unbearable price to lose. You see Langman is a living example. Now He has already been sued by several major capitals for sky-high box office losses, sold his house, car, and wife, and a top director has been reduced like this."

Hearing this man's words, everyone was silent and their expressions changed.

Finally, many people spoke one after another.

"Are we just going to watch Lin Xuan wreak havoc on Hollywood?"

"Is there no way?"

"There are so many of us, and we are being manipulated by a young Chinese man? It's unbearable!"

"Why did such a monster appear?"

"That is, if you are rich, powerful, and talented...do you want to let people live?"

"Forget it, my movies will revolve around Lin Xuan in the future."

"Me too, can't afford to provoke or hide?"

"Is it too embarrassing? Could it be that Lin Xuan's movie is released in a popular schedule, and we have to avoid it?"

"What can I do?"

at this time.

Suddenly, a top director's cell phone rang, and when he connected it, he was stunned at first, and then a strong surprise appeared on his face.

Beside, many people showed surprised expressions.

"Peter, why are you so happy?"

"what happened?"

"Is it a good thing?"

The director named Pete has not yet answered.

I saw other people's mobile phones ringing one after another.

Everyone connects.

After a few seconds, everyone froze.

Then everyone's complexion changed wonderfully, just like Pete's.

After a few minutes, everyone's mobile phone ringtones gradually calmed down. Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the intense joy deep in each other's eyes.

Finally, one of them swallowed his saliva and said, "I really didn't expect, I really didn't expect that the directors' union would take action."

Another person laughed: "Hahaha, it's normal. Lin Xuan is an outsider, and he is too powerful as an outsider. If the directors' union doesn't take action, it will have a huge impact on the Hollywood structure. Therefore, the directors' union must take action to bring Lin Xuan kicked out of Hollywood! Looks like we don't need to worry anymore, Lin Xuan is doomed to leave in the future."

"But how to get him out of here?"

"Come on, think about it."

"How about that?"

"Listen to my opinion."

"I think it's a good idea."

"Hiss, are you too damaged?"

"What is this? I'm even worse."

……

……

Second World Films.

After the meeting, Lin Xuan said to Huang Ming: "Mr. Huang, I have left the affairs of Hollywood to you for the time being. In addition, there is also the IP operation of "Transformers". You have to do a good job with Mr. Ma. Matching. Next, there will be more and more things. If you don’t have enough manpower, you can find people, and if you don’t have enough office space, you can rent a space. Anyway, don’t worry about money. There may be no other things in the second world, but there is more money!”

"Ok."

Huang Ming nodded and asked, "Boss Lin, are you going back to China?"

Lin Xuan said: "There shouldn't be many important things here, so I..."

The voice did not fall.

When the phone rang, he took a closer look, his eyes narrowed.

Because this call is very familiar, it is a call from the great Hollywood director Pete.Although he didn't talk to the other party, but in order to be prepared, Lin Xuan had already saved the phone numbers of all well-known Hollywood directors and some important personnel.

Seeing the other party's call at this moment, Lin Xuan was curious.

What is the other party calling for?
Answer the phone: "Hello, Mr. Pete?"

The other end of the phone was stunned, and then a middle-aged man laughed: "Haha, Mr. Lin, I have known you for a long time. I didn't expect you to save my phone number. It is really an honor for me."

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Mr. Pete, you are very polite. It is my honor to receive your call. I don't know if you are looking for me, what's the matter?"

Pete smiled and said: "First of all, congratulations to Mr. Lin, your movie "Transformers" has achieved the 13th place in the box office of film history. This is a remarkable achievement, especially this movie has created a new situation in mech science fiction, which has made many People have benefited a lot. The second is that after you came to Hollywood, everyone seems to have not met each other. So we Hollywood directors discussed and prepared to hold a grand banquet. First, to congratulate you on the film Get good grades. The second is to make friends with you, a legend. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to reward you?"

banquet?

Invitation from Hollywood directors?
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

While thinking about it, he quickly said: "Mr. Pete, I am really embarrassed. Even if such a banquet is to be held, I should hold it. How can it cost you and other directors? And this is what I thought Not comprehensive, I have been in Hollywood for so long, I should have visited you a long time ago. How about...Mr. Pete, let me hold this banquet, you and other directors only need to come to the appointment, it is considered to represent me in Hollywood A heart."

Pete repeatedly declined: "How can that be?"

Lin Xuan: "This is what I should do."

Pete: "But..."

Lin Xuan: "It should, it should."

The two declined several times, but in the end Pete backed down: "That's fine, then we will go to the appointment at that time and clean up the dust for you, Mr. Lin."

After hanging up the phone.

Lin Xuan felt relieved, and smiled on his face: "It seems that these directors in Hollywood are still very hospitable, and they even took the initiative to contact me to attend the banquet. But how can they hold such a thing? It is useless to make outsiders laugh, it must be me It's only right for the master to host a banquet and invite them. Well... that's fine, let me take this opportunity to get acquainted with the Hollywood director circle, which will also be beneficial to the company in the future."
