Chapter 372 Director Zhang's Shock and Harvest
Chapter 372 Director Zhang's shock and harvest (seeking monthly ticket for subscription)
"What I want to say is that I can help everyone get a far better share of overseas films than before. If any director is confident in his film and wants to show it overseas, I can really help .”
After Gu Chenfeng finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause and applause.
"it is good!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Among them, the directors sitting under the stage flushed with excitement, and their palms were already aching from the shooting.
Someone broke out on the Internet before that Gu Chenfeng became a shareholder of Disney Cinemas, but Gu Chenfeng himself has never come out to respond, and many directors who do not know Gu Chenfeng are embarrassed to find him at all.
Even for directors who know Gu Chenfeng, if their own works are not suitable for overseas releases, it is not easy for them to find Gu Chenfeng. If it succeeds, it will not only lose their own face, but also Gu Chenfeng's face.
Therefore, even after such a long time, no one in China has come to Gu Chenfeng to ask him to help get his film released overseas.
Gu Chenfeng on the stage continued: "Of course, if you want to go to an overseas release, there must be a threshold. If you make a bad movie and want to get it to be released overseas, then I will definitely not." Will agree, because this is not just a loss of face to us, but a loss of face to our Chinese domestic films."
"Let me put my ugly words first, so that there will be no unnecessary misunderstandings. It's not that I don't help you, but that you must take a good look at the quality of your movies before you come to me."
"Finally, I would like to thank the Starlight judges again for their new perspective on the TV series "Bright Sword", and thank the audience friends for their love of this TV series and their strong support for it."
"Winning this award is not due to me alone, but to the entire "Bright Sword" crew. In my heart, every cast member and staff member of the crew is the best."
"thank you all."
After the Starlight TV Festival Awards Gala, Gu Chenfeng, the biggest winner, was interviewed by a reporter from Huaguo TV Station.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, first of all congratulations on winning so many awards."
"Thank you!"
"May I ask how you feel now?"
"Of course it's very good. After all, it's the first time for me to write, direct and act in a TV series, and I can win so many awards."
"Mr. Gu, when you delivered your award acceptance speech, you said that your next film is called "Changjin Lake". May I ask if you wrote, directed and acted in this film yourself?"
"Yes!"
"Then what kind of movie is this movie?"
"If I were to describe it in one sentence, I would say that it will be an anti-Japanese war movie that is even better than "Bright Sword". It will lead everyone to meet the heroes who once died in foreign lands."
"Sounds very special!"
"After "Changjin Lake" is released, you will know what I mean when you finish watching the movie."
"Then Mr. Gu, do you have anything to say to your fans?"
"Even if there is something to say, I won't say it now. As long as I say a word, they will definitely find something to tease me, so it's better for me not to say anything."
"Hahaha, Teacher Gu, the relationship between you and your fans is really... very special!"
···
On Gu Chenfeng's Weibo, some trophies he won from the Star TV Festival appeared soon.
After the fans saw it, the comment area instantly became lively.
"Congratulations, Mr. Gu, for returning home with a bumper harvest."
"Teacher Gu has indeed had a bumper harvest this time, but I still compare other Teacher Gu's next movie, what is it called "Changjin Lake"!"
"Did Mr. Gu go to the Starlight TV Festival to buy goods this time? He just won all the most important awards in one go!"
"Although it's a bit exaggerated, I have to say that Mr. Gu definitely deserves these trophies."
"That's right, with the ratings and reputation of "Bright Sword", it's normal to get the best director and best film and television drama. As for the best actor, I really can't think of anyone who is more impressive than Mr. Gu's Li Yunlong." profound."
"That's right, the TV series "Bright Sword" has directly broken many ratings records for domestic TV series. I look forward to the success of Mr. Gu's next movie "Changjin Lake"."
"Actually, Zhuo Le, the assistant director of the TV series "Bright Sword", has made a lot of contributions in the TV series, but he is a great international director, and now he has been reduced to the point where he is Gu Chenfeng's assistant director."
"Fuck, upstairs, where did you come from, you idiot? Not to mention being an assistant director for Mr. Gu, even if Zhuo Le is an assistant for Mr. Gu, he will be very happy, do you believe it?"
"That's right, Zhuo Le's achievements today are all due to Teacher Gu's support at the beginning. Now let him serve as the assistant director of Teacher Gu, there is nothing wrong with it at all!"
"The number one morning breeze is not called for nothing. Although King Zhuo Le has become a lot more low-key now, he has nothing to say about Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu treats him."
"That's right, that's right, some black fans shouldn't come here to sow discord."
"···"
When Zhuo Le saw the news on the Internet, he also posted a message on his Weibo. He wrote on Weibo: "Everyone, I saw someone on the Internet who wanted to play the rhythm. Then I Someone Zhuo will say something here now."
"First of all, I am quite willing to be an assistant director for Mr. Gu. Secondly, for me now, I have basically won all the trophies that can be won in the field of directing, and my cumulative box office has reached It’s tens of billions, and I don’t need those names to decorate myself.”
"Moreover, netizens who are familiar with the combination of Teacher Gu and me know that in Qingchen Entertainment Company, everyone is mutual achievement, and there are no other thoughts. Those who want to sow discord can find some place to wash and sleep. gone."
When Zhuo Le posted this Weibo, many of his fans left messages in the comment area.
Obviously, in the past period of time, Zhuo Le has rarely been active on the Internet. It seems that he has really immersed himself in the drama. Whether it is filming "Spiderman" or later filming "Bright Sword", Zhuo Le's character Also more and more mature.
It's no longer the bluffing Wang Zhuole, although he is still a bit aggressive at times, but relatively speaking, he has kept a low profile.
···
On Gu Chenfeng's side, after participating in the interview, he came to the Starlight Dinner.
When he was chatting with a few acquaintances, director Zhang Yimou found him, and Yang Mi came with him.
After seeing Gu Chenfeng, Zhang Yimou said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu, congratulations. I didn't expect you to finally take the route of director. From now on, we can be regarded as colleagues."
"Director Zhang, you are a national teacher, and I am just a junior who has just entered the industry." Gu Chenfeng said modestly.
"Come on less!" Zhang Yimou didn't like Gu Chenfeng's tricks, and said, "Who in the entire Huaguo entertainment circle dares to say that you are a junior?"
When Gu Chenfeng and Zhang Yimou knew each other back then, when Zhang Yimou was doing the Spring Festival Gala, he encountered a stick who wanted to disrupt the situation and temporarily increased the appearance fee. It was Gu Chenfeng who helped Zhang Yimou out of the siege.
Later, Zhang Yimou even introduced Director Li Lan to Gu Chenfeng. Only then did Gu Chenfeng's later works quickly enter the international market, and at the same time let Gu Chenfeng get in touch with Disney in advance.
So, counting, Zhang Yimou and Gu Chenfeng have known each other for quite a long time, and Gu Chenfeng also entrusted Zhang Yimou to shoot the movie "The Hulk" at the beginning, although the movie was in the same box at the box office. In terms of word-of-mouth, they are not as good as "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man", but they are still quite good.
At this time, Yang Mi smiled and said to Gu Chenfeng: "Mr. Gu, Director Zhang wants to ask you for a favor. Is it okay?"
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Gu Chenfeng was taken aback for a moment, and asked very puzzled: "Mr. Yang, why did Director Zhang ask me for help, why did you say it out of your mouth?"
"Because he wanted your help to release the movie "Hero" overseas, and I also starred in this movie, so I spoke." Yang Mi explained.
That's right, Zhang Yimou has been preparing for a movie called "Hero" after filming "Hulk". After such a long time, it is finally filmed.
It just so happened that I heard Gu Chenfeng say that sentence again today when he was on the podium, that's why Zhang Yimou and Yang Mi came to ask Gu Chenfeng for help.
As for Yang Mi, she and Gu Chenfeng have known each other for a long time. When Gu Chenfeng had just left Tianmang Entertainment, Yang Mi still wanted to invite Gu Chenfeng to join her company, but Gu Chenfeng Feng decided to open his own studio at that time.
It was the predecessor of Qingchen Entertainment Company. So far, Yang Mi has rented her company building to Gu Chenfeng at the price of cabbage.
Later, after Gu Chenfeng's Qingchen Entertainment Company gradually developed and expanded, he built his own company building.
After listening to Yang Mi's words, Gu Chenfeng frowned, and said: "It is agreed in advance that it is a double-edged sword in itself to release the movie overseas. If it succeeds overseas, then the domestic box office will inevitably go up." Packaging, but if it fails, it may have a negative impact on the domestic release."
Although Gu Chenfeng has never encountered such a situation in his previous movies, and his movies are basically hits both overseas and domestically, but there are other movies that have been fooled by this.
There used to be a movie. If it was released in China, the box office and word-of-mouth would definitely be good, but the producer was too ambitious and wanted to release it overseas.
However, everyone knows that there is still a big difference between the culture of Huaguo and overseas cultures, and it is not easy to break the cultural barriers.
As a result, after the film was released overseas, the box office and word of mouth were very poor, which caused even the domestic market to be greatly affected.
At this time, Zhang Yimou said: "When I was filming the "Hulk" you gave me, I studied it specifically. I can't say that I have studied it very thoroughly, but it should be pretty good."
"Moreover, a few days ago, I invited many filmmakers who are proficient in Western culture to watch "Hero". Very confident."
Originally, Zhang Yimou wanted to talk to Gu Chenfeng about getting the movie "Hero" to be screened overseas, but seeing that Gu Chenfeng didn't have time all the time, so he temporarily shelved it.
This time, Zhang Yimou didn't want to give up this opportunity after finally meeting him at the Starlight TV Festival dinner.
Any big domestic director wants to go international, there is no doubt about it.
Gu Chenfeng naturally understood Director Zhang Yimou's mood, so he said: "As long as you make a decision on this matter, I can help, but the ugly words come first, and I am only responsible for publishing it for you."
"What about the publicity?" Yang Mi asked.
Gu Chenfeng thought for a while and said, "As for publicity, I can go to Disney, they have a very mature publicity department."
Speaking of this, Gu Chenfeng seemed to think of something, looked at Zhang Yimou and Yang Mi and asked, "By the way, how much promotional expenses did your producer prepare for you?"
The reason why I ask this is because not everyone is like Gu Chenfeng. No matter what film and television works he shoots, his Qingchen Entertainment is rich and powerful, and he invests independently. Even if he lets others invest, then the decision The power is definitely in Gu Chenfeng's own hands.
In this way, he can spend as much as he wants on the cost of publicity.
However, most of the other domestic films have many investors, and there are many people involved. It is very troublesome to increase the cost of publicity.
Zhang Yimou stretched out three fingers and replied, "3000 million dollars."
"Too little!" Gu Chenfeng said bluntly.
In his opinion, if you want to carry out large-scale publicity around the world, if you spend less than 5000 million US dollars, basically it will not have very good results.
At this time, Yang Mi said again: "In our movie, except for Li Liangjie and Brother Jie, the others are not well-known overseas, so we only want to take the route of Internet promotion."
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Gu Chenfeng probably understood. It seems that Yang Mi is not only an actor of this movie, but also one of the investors of this movie, otherwise she would not be so concerned.
So Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said: "That's okay, Brother Jie's overseas influence is still very good, then your "Hero" trailer, it is best to have more fighting scenes of Brother Jie, In this way, we can attract those fans overseas.”
Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "The trailer I prepared was 72 seconds long, and Liangjie alone took up 40 seconds."
Just when Gu Chenfeng was about to speak, Reba, who had been standing beside him, suddenly said, "Mr. Gu, can you use your identity as the author of "Harry Potter" to recommend this movie?"
Obviously, Reba was instructed by Yang Mi, that's why he asked this question.
Others don't know that Gu Chenfeng is the author of the book "Harry Potter", but Reba, who has always had a very good relationship with Gu Chenfeng, knows it.
If Gu Chenfeng can help promote a wave of "Hero" overseas as the author of "Harry Potter", it will definitely be a great help to the entire movie.
You must know how popular this book is now overseas, and the success of the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" some time ago made this novel even more popular.
When Gu Chenfeng heard Reba's words, he was stunned, feeling like he had fallen into a wolf's den, looked at Reba and asked, "Do you know how long I have been hiding my identity? You exposed it to me in a blink of an eye Looks like I can't tell you about my other identities in the future."
"Ah?" Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Reba panicked immediately, and gave Yang Mi a resentful look.
She knew that as long as she opened her mouth about this matter, it would definitely make Gu Chenfeng unhappy, which would affect her relationship with Gu Chenfeng. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Gu Chenfeng smiled and shook his head, then said to Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, I will do my best for this matter."
"Thank you!" Zhang Yimou cupped his fists at Gu Chenfeng to thank him.
···
The starlight dinner lasted for more than two hours before it came to an end.
On the way back, manager Zhang Qingqing returned the phone to Gu Chenfeng and said, "Mr. Gu, many people called you just now, and they are basically the department heads of "Bright Sword"."
"In addition to congratulating you on the award, they all asked if the film "Changjin Lake" still needs people to form a crew?"
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly after listening, and said, "It seems that these guys still can't help it after they got the news!"
Zhang Qingqing nodded and said: "As long as it is someone who has worked with you, who can sit still after hearing that you have a new play? Then Mr. Gu, when you are filming "Changjin Lake" next time, you should Do you want to change a group of people?"
"No change!" Gu Chenfeng shook his head, and said: "When I was filming "Bright Sword", the group of people Zhuo Le formed were very happy to cooperate with me, and everyone has established a tacit understanding with each other , As for abilities, they are all top-notch, and I use them more easily, so I don't plan to change them."
For Gu Chenfeng, "Changjin Lake" is the most important step for him to use domestic anti-Japanese films to enter the international film industry. If he rashly finds a group of unfamiliar people, it will be a big problem just to get along with the crew.
And the film crew formed for the filming of "Bright Sword" has been well established. If there were no special circumstances, Gu Chenfeng would not have foolishly replaced people.
At this time, Zhang Qingqing said again: "Then Teacher Gu, should we recruit them all into the company, so that they can become your royal team in the future."
In fact, in Huaguo, those big directors all have their own team, even Zhuo Le, has his own team, but when filming "Bright Sword", according to the requirements of taking care of Chenfeng, he found some new directors who are good at The talents who shoot the theme of the Anti-Japanese War.
Obviously, at some point, Gu Chenfeng had plans in this regard. After all, if he wants to be a director, he must have his own royal team.
Gu Chenfeng thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll ask them one by one, and if they're willing, I'll recruit them."
After finishing speaking, Gu Chenfeng took out his mobile phone and called the heads of various departments. Everyone was extremely new to Gu Chenfeng, and they all agreed to join Qingchen Entertainment Company without hesitation.
Seeing this, Zhang Qingqing said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, these people treat you really well!"
"Just compare your heart with your heart!" Gu Chenfeng said: "Sister Zhang, I need to go to the Lighthouse Country tomorrow to deal with the release of "Hero". Please help me book a ticket, and then call Zhuang Wenjie, and we will go there together."
"As for domestic matters, I will leave them to Zhuo Le and Minister Liu to handle..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Chenfeng seemed to think of something again, and said: "Forget it, you can book tickets for me and Zhuang Wenjie, and you will be in the company to help receive the staff of various departments of "Changjin Lake". It will reach the gold market the day after tomorrow.”
"If I don't come back by then, I will hold a video conference call with them and arrange work."
"As for the producer of "Changjin Lake", I'd like to trouble you, Sister Zhang, to be in charge. I don't worry about anyone else except you."
"After I help Director Zhang and the others handle the matter of "Heroes", then we can directly start preparing for the filming of "Changjin Lake"."
After hearing Gu Chenfeng's arrangement, Zhang Qingqing's heart warmed up slightly. Being able to entrust such an important job to herself shows that in Gu Chenfeng's heart, he still trusts her very much.
So he nodded and agreed: "Okay, Mr. Gu, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Soon, the two returned to the hotel where they were staying, and went back to their rooms.
On Gu Chenfeng's side, after returning to the room, he took a hot shower as quickly as possible, and then played a video for Luo Qingcheng.
He briefly told Luo Qingcheng about his going to the Lighthouse Country and his plan to shoot "Changjin Lake".
Although Luo Qingcheng is not from the film industry or the entertainment industry, in Gu Chenfeng's heart, she will always be his leader, and he must report to him in advance if there is anything to do.
"Husband, Yaoyao also called me today, asking when you plan to start filming "Changjin Lake", so that she can send the money." Luo Qingcheng, who was on the opposite side of the video, suddenly asked.
Gu Chenfeng agreed before that Wang Yao could invest 15.00% of the film "Changjin Lake" and [-]% for the military camp.
Hearing Luo Qingcheng's words, Gu Chenfeng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's the first time I've seen investors so active, so, my wife, tell Yaoyao that she can transfer the money to Qingchen at any time." The account of the entertainment company, and then the company will give her a receipt and a shareholding agreement."
"As for the shooting, when I come back from the Lighthouse Country, I will start preparing for the shooting. Director Zhuo Le has almost done the preliminary work. At that time, we only need to confirm the actors and it will be fine."
"Okay!" Luo Qingcheng nodded, and said, "Honey, did you go to the Lighthouse Country to bring Zhuang Wenjie? Although your kung fu is very good, one more person is also safer."
As for Zhuang Wenjie's skill, Luo Qingcheng also heard from Gu Chenfeng before, so now wherever Gu Chenfeng goes, Luo Qingcheng asks him to take Zhuang Wenjie with him. As for the two female bodyguards introduced by Wang Yao before, now all Follow Tangtang and Luo Qingcheng.
Gu Chenfeng replied: "Don't worry, I have asked Sister Zhang to book the plane tickets for me and Zhuang Wenjie."
···
In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Chenfeng took Zhang Yimou and several representatives of the producer of "Heroes" on a flight to New York.
When everyone came out of the airport, Herman, the CEO of Disney Films, and several senior executives of the company immediately greeted them.
After seeing Herman, Gu Chenfeng greeted with a smile, "Mr. Herman, there's no need to mobilize so many people, right?"
Herman smiled and said, "Mr. Gu hasn't been to New York for a long time. As a friend, of course I will come to greet you."
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yimou next to Gu Chenfeng and asked, "Is this the director Zhang Yimou?"
"That's right!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and introduced to Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, this is Mr. Herman, the CEO of Disney Films."
Hearing Gu Chenfeng's introduction, Zhang Yimou's heart was shocked. Although he had tried his best to overestimate Gu Chenfeng's status in Disney, but now it seems that he is still muttering.
Even the CEO of the company personally brought the executives to greet Gu Chenfeng, how big a deal is this?
After greeting each other, everyone boarded the car and left the airport.
On the way, Gu Chenfeng looked at Herman with a smile and said, "Mr. Herman, the stock price of Disney Films seems to have risen a lot recently!"
The reason why Gu Chenfeng knew about it was because his original plan was to exit with a wave of profits when "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released and the global box office came out.
As a result, Gu Chenfeng made a profit of [-] million US dollars at a cost of one billion US dollars at the beginning. It is conceivable how much Disney's stock has skyrocketed.
When Herman heard Gu Chenfeng talk about this topic, a bright smile appeared on his face, and said: "This is thanks to Mr. Gu's previous help, and the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" , won the first place in both word of mouth and box office, which makes us Disney ashamed."
"In addition, we have made good profits for two consecutive films before, which has allowed our Disney's market value to exceed 2000 billion US dollars again."
Gu Chenfeng smiled and asked, "Then are you going to shoot the second part of "Harry Potter" now?"
"That's right!" Herman nodded and said, "We are making preparations before shooting."
At this time, Gu Chenfeng said: "We have a saying in Huaguo that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Mr. Herman wants to make "Harry Potter" a classic series of movies and a symbol of Disney. Then We must take each subsequent part more seriously.”
"If there is a problem with any of the middle ones, it will inevitably lead to strong dissatisfaction among movie fans, and the expectations will also drop sharply. Since the plot has already been known by fans, a series without expectations Movies, even ordinary movies, are far inferior."
Speaking of this, Gu Chenfeng took a deep look at Herman and said, "Mr. Herman, you must not slack off!"
Listening to Gu Chenfeng's words and looking into his gaze, Herman suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Gu Chenfeng's words were like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, completely waking up Herman, who had been trapped in joy and complacency.
That's right, the success of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" only means that they took the first step very steadily, but if they didn't take the second step well, they fell to the ground, and then they got up again Yes, it is already full of scars.
Under such circumstances, if you want to take the third step well, you must be more troubled than when you took the first step.
After thinking about these things clearly, Herman suddenly felt that in the past two months, he seemed to have drifted a little bit.
So, Herman bowed his head respectfully to Gu Chenfeng, and said: "Mr. Gu, thank you, thank you very much for your words just now, which woke me up."
"The current Disney is just getting back on track, and it's far from enjoying the fruits of victory. I've been too complacent recently."
When Gu Chenfeng saw this, appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Most of the people in the lighthouse country who are in high positions are unwilling to listen to other people's different opinions, Mr. Herman, can you understand me?" If so, it is really rare to wake up in time, and this also makes me more optimistic about the future of Disney's development."
Herman said with a wry smile: "I have heard too many praises from the media and people around me during this time, and I almost forgot about the Disney crisis. It really shouldn't be, Mr. Gu, I will invite you in the future A lot of pointers."
Gu Chenfeng waved his hand and said: "It's fine to chat, but it's fine to give pointers. With my level, how can I give you pointers!"
Herman could tell that Gu Chenfeng was being modest, but he didn't say anything, just smiled.
At least he really learned a lot when chatting with Gu Chenfeng.
However, although Zhang Yimou didn't understand a single word of the conversation between the two, he also said that from the slight changes in Herman's attitude towards Gu Chenfeng, this conversation was all led by Gu Chenfeng from the beginning to the end. Leading, Herman is like a younger brother who is willing to learn, and respects Gu Chenfeng very much.
You know, this is the CEO of Disney Films, one of the six giants in Hollywood. Zhang Yimou was extremely shocked by his attitude in front of Gu Chenfeng.
In retrospect, Gu Chenfeng has not been in contact with Disney for a long time, but now he has such a high status in the Disney film company, it is simply unbelievable!
Zhang Yimou clearly remembered that, if there were no accidents, when director Li Lan helped Gu Chenfeng's "Zootopia" animation film to be released globally, it was Gu Chenfeng's first contact with Disney Films.
But in the past few years, Gu Chenfeng has already reached such a height.
···
After the car arrived at the Disney headquarters, Zhang Yimou and the representative of the producer of "Hero" had a two-hour negotiation with Disney's publicity and distribution department, and finally reached an agreement.
"Hero" is distributed by Disney Films in Europe and the United States. The promotion fee is 3000 million US dollars, and the producer can get 30.00% of the box office revenue.
Don't think that this box office share is very low. You must know that in the past, the revenue ratio of many domestic films could not even reach 20.00%, let alone 30.00%.
Even if a Hollywood film is brought to Huaguo, the share is only around 30.00%.
The producer of "Yingxi Palace" was very satisfied with this agreement, and signed it readily.
The work efficiency of Disney Films is very fast. That night, the trailer of "Hero" was released on major video sites, and many sailors were hired to help with publicity.
Although there is only 3000 million U.S. dollars in publicity expenses, ten days of publicity is enough.
After attending the dinner hosted by Disney for Gu Chenfeng and the crew of "Heroes", Gu Chenfeng returned to the hotel.
In the car, Zhang Yimou looked at Gu Chenfeng and asked curiously: "Mr. Gu, what is the relationship between you and Disney? Why do their CEOs and senior management treat you so respectfully?"
In his opinion, if Gu Chenfeng was only a shareholder of Disney Cinemas, he would definitely not have such a big face. After all, Disney Cinemas is just an industry under the Disney Film Company.
Then there is only one explanation, Gu Chenfeng must have some identity that other people don't know, which makes the Disney company respect him very much.
Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm just the second largest shareholder of their theater chain, the reason why they respect me so much is actually because the "Harry Potter" series is Disney's life-saving straw , They are afraid that I will break the contract and not hand over this series to them, so they dare not offend me."
After listening to Gu Chenfeng's words, Zhang Yimou became even more curious, and asked, "Didn't you already sell them the copyright of the Harry Potter movie?"
"That's right!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said, "I sold them the copyright of the film, but the liquidated damages are only one billion dollars. If the shares are returned, then Disney will face a very passive situation.”
"Of course, if they have other support, not relying on "Harry Potter", that's a different story."
Hearing this, Zhang Yimou frowned, and said, "It's another matter? Could they still turn against you?"
Gu Chenfeng laughed and said, "Director Zhang, in Hua Country, human feelings are paramount, and moral judgment is even greater than legal judgment, but it's different in Lighthouse Country, where interests are always paramount."
"I can bring benefits to Disney, so they treat me like an ancestor, but when one day I can't bring benefits to them, then I will be a waste in their eyes."
"Crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, dismantling mills and killing donkeys is normal in the business world of Lighthouse Country. No one will blame the other party, because everyone's concept is like this. Everything is for profit. Since you have no value to use, then others It is also normal to tear down bridges when crossing rivers."
After listening to Gu Chenfeng's words, Zhang Yimou sighed: "This place is simply too scary."
Gu Chenfeng said quietly: "The heaven for young people, the battlefield for adults, and the inferiority for the elderly, this is the law of the jungle in the Lighthouse Kingdom, and there is no human feeling at all."
These are all Gu Chenfeng heard from Zhuo Le when he came to the Lighthouse Country to film and attend the Oscars.
And for this point of view, Gu Chenfeng also particularly agrees, and he also deeply felt that at the Oscar awards ceremony...
Hearing this, Zhang Yimou couldn't help shivering, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
···
The next morning, after Gu Chenfeng finished his boxing practice, he returned to the hotel, and saw Serna with outstanding posture at a glance.
Gu Chenfeng asked in surprise: "Selna, why are you here?"
Serna smiled and said, "Boss, I heard that you arrived in New York yesterday, so I came here early in the morning."
Gu Chenfeng smiled and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet!" Serna replied.
Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "You go downstairs and wait for me first, I'll go back to my room and wash my face, and then we'll go have breakfast together."
Serna nodded and said, "Okay!"
After 15 minutes, the two sat in a western restaurant opposite the hotel and began to eat breakfast.
Serna looked at Gu Chenfeng and said, "Boss, I need to report three things to you."
"The first thing, the bitcoin you asked me to buy before has skyrocketed to 11.27 US dollars in less than a week, and the value of the 300 bitcoins in your hand has skyrocketed More than [-] percent."
Speaking of this, Selna looked at Gu Chenfeng with admiration.
Selna also wanted to buy some bitcoins before, but she found that the entire society in the lighthouse country was not very optimistic about this virtual currency, so she didn't make a move.
Moreover, when Gu Chenfeng asked her to buy bitcoins, he specially paid a [-]% premium, that is to say, as long as she bought them and then sold them to Gu Chenfeng, she could earn [-]% of the fee. .
One can imagine how bullish Gu Chenfeng was on Bitcoin back then.
Even so, Serna didn't dare to buy it by herself, all of them were bought for Gu Chenfeng.
But who would have thought that not long after that, Bitcoin would skyrocket like a blowout, which made Selna regret it, and at the same time cast her eyes on Gu Chenfeng's admiration.
Gu Chenfeng let out a sigh, and said: "I said at the beginning that this thing is either plummeting or skyrocketing. Now it seems that my prediction is quite accurate."
Just kidding, I missed it once when I was on Earth before, how could I miss it this time.
Moreover, according to the development trend of bitcoin on the earth, 2 US dollars is far from the limit of bitcoin, not even one-tenth of it. On the earth, when bitcoin was at its highest, it rose to more than [-] US dollars one piece.
Serna asked: "Boss, the value of Bitcoin is so high now, do you want to take this opportunity and sell some of it?"
Gu Chenfeng shook his head resolutely, and said: "No, as long as Bitcoin doesn't cross, it will only rise higher in the future, you just continue to help me buy it, now let's talk about the second thing! "

"What I want to say is that I can help everyone get a far better share of overseas films than before. If any director is confident in his film and wants to show it overseas, I can really help .”
After Gu Chenfeng finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause and applause.
"it is good!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Among them, the directors sitting under the stage flushed with excitement, and their palms were already aching from the shooting.
Someone broke out on the Internet before that Gu Chenfeng became a shareholder of Disney Cinemas, but Gu Chenfeng himself has never come out to respond, and many directors who do not know Gu Chenfeng are embarrassed to find him at all.
Even for directors who know Gu Chenfeng, if their own works are not suitable for overseas releases, it is not easy for them to find Gu Chenfeng. If it succeeds, it will not only lose their own face, but also Gu Chenfeng's face.
Therefore, even after such a long time, no one in China has come to Gu Chenfeng to ask him to help get his film released overseas.
Gu Chenfeng on the stage continued: "Of course, if you want to go to an overseas release, there must be a threshold. If you make a bad movie and want to get it to be released overseas, then I will definitely not." Will agree, because this is not just a loss of face to us, but a loss of face to our Chinese domestic films."
"Let me put my ugly words first, so that there will be no unnecessary misunderstandings. It's not that I don't help you, but that you must take a good look at the quality of your movies before you come to me."
"Finally, I would like to thank the Starlight judges again for their new perspective on the TV series "Bright Sword", and thank the audience friends for their love of this TV series and their strong support for it."
"Winning this award is not due to me alone, but to the entire "Bright Sword" crew. In my heart, every cast member and staff member of the crew is the best."
"thank you all."
After the Starlight TV Festival Awards Gala, Gu Chenfeng, the biggest winner, was interviewed by a reporter from Huaguo TV Station.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, first of all congratulations on winning so many awards."
"Thank you!"
"May I ask how you feel now?"
"Of course it's very good. After all, it's the first time for me to write, direct and act in a TV series, and I can win so many awards."
"Mr. Gu, when you delivered your award acceptance speech, you said that your next film is called "Changjin Lake". May I ask if you wrote, directed and acted in this film yourself?"
"Yes!"
"Then what kind of movie is this movie?"
"If I were to describe it in one sentence, I would say that it will be an anti-Japanese war movie that is even better than "Bright Sword". It will lead everyone to meet the heroes who once died in foreign lands."
"Sounds very special!"
"After "Changjin Lake" is released, you will know what I mean when you finish watching the movie."
"Then Mr. Gu, do you have anything to say to your fans?"
"Even if there is something to say, I won't say it now. As long as I say a word, they will definitely find something to tease me, so it's better for me not to say anything."
"Hahaha, Teacher Gu, the relationship between you and your fans is really... very special!"
···
On Gu Chenfeng's Weibo, some trophies he won from the Star TV Festival appeared soon.
After the fans saw it, the comment area instantly became lively.
"Congratulations, Mr. Gu, for returning home with a bumper harvest."
"Teacher Gu has indeed had a bumper harvest this time, but I still compare other Teacher Gu's next movie, what is it called "Changjin Lake"!"
"Did Mr. Gu go to the Starlight TV Festival to buy goods this time? He just won all the most important awards in one go!"
"Although it's a bit exaggerated, I have to say that Mr. Gu definitely deserves these trophies."
"That's right, with the ratings and reputation of "Bright Sword", it's normal to get the best director and best film and television drama. As for the best actor, I really can't think of anyone who is more impressive than Mr. Gu's Li Yunlong." profound."
"That's right, the TV series "Bright Sword" has directly broken many ratings records for domestic TV series. I look forward to the success of Mr. Gu's next movie "Changjin Lake"."
"Actually, Zhuo Le, the assistant director of the TV series "Bright Sword", has made a lot of contributions in the TV series, but he is a great international director, and now he has been reduced to the point where he is Gu Chenfeng's assistant director."
"Fuck, upstairs, where did you come from, you idiot? Not to mention being an assistant director for Mr. Gu, even if Zhuo Le is an assistant for Mr. Gu, he will be very happy, do you believe it?"
"That's right, Zhuo Le's achievements today are all due to Teacher Gu's support at the beginning. Now let him serve as the assistant director of Teacher Gu, there is nothing wrong with it at all!"
"The number one morning breeze is not called for nothing. Although King Zhuo Le has become a lot more low-key now, he has nothing to say about Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu treats him."
"That's right, that's right, some black fans shouldn't come here to sow discord."
"···"
When Zhuo Le saw the news on the Internet, he also posted a message on his Weibo. He wrote on Weibo: "Everyone, I saw someone on the Internet who wanted to play the rhythm. Then I Someone Zhuo will say something here now."
"First of all, I am quite willing to be an assistant director for Mr. Gu. Secondly, for me now, I have basically won all the trophies that can be won in the field of directing, and my cumulative box office has reached It’s tens of billions, and I don’t need those names to decorate myself.”
"Moreover, netizens who are familiar with the combination of Teacher Gu and me know that in Qingchen Entertainment Company, everyone is mutual achievement, and there are no other thoughts. Those who want to sow discord can find some place to wash and sleep. gone."
When Zhuo Le posted this Weibo, many of his fans left messages in the comment area.
Obviously, in the past period of time, Zhuo Le has rarely been active on the Internet. It seems that he has really immersed himself in the drama. Whether it is filming "Spiderman" or later filming "Bright Sword", Zhuo Le's character Also more and more mature.
It's no longer the bluffing Wang Zhuole, although he is still a bit aggressive at times, but relatively speaking, he has kept a low profile.
···
On Gu Chenfeng's side, after participating in the interview, he came to the Starlight Dinner.
When he was chatting with a few acquaintances, director Zhang Yimou found him, and Yang Mi came with him.
After seeing Gu Chenfeng, Zhang Yimou said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu, congratulations. I didn't expect you to finally take the route of director. From now on, we can be regarded as colleagues."
"Director Zhang, you are a national teacher, and I am just a junior who has just entered the industry." Gu Chenfeng said modestly.
"Come on less!" Zhang Yimou didn't like Gu Chenfeng's tricks, and said, "Who in the entire Huaguo entertainment circle dares to say that you are a junior?"
When Gu Chenfeng and Zhang Yimou knew each other back then, when Zhang Yimou was doing the Spring Festival Gala, he encountered a stick who wanted to disrupt the situation and temporarily increased the appearance fee. It was Gu Chenfeng who helped Zhang Yimou out of the siege.
Later, Zhang Yimou even introduced Director Li Lan to Gu Chenfeng. Only then did Gu Chenfeng's later works quickly enter the international market, and at the same time let Gu Chenfeng get in touch with Disney in advance.
So, counting, Zhang Yimou and Gu Chenfeng have known each other for quite a long time, and Gu Chenfeng also entrusted Zhang Yimou to shoot the movie "The Hulk" at the beginning, although the movie was in the same box at the box office. In terms of word-of-mouth, they are not as good as "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man", but they are still quite good.
At this time, Yang Mi smiled and said to Gu Chenfeng: "Mr. Gu, Director Zhang wants to ask you for a favor. Is it okay?"
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Gu Chenfeng was taken aback for a moment, and asked very puzzled: "Mr. Yang, why did Director Zhang ask me for help, why did you say it out of your mouth?"
"Because he wanted your help to release the movie "Hero" overseas, and I also starred in this movie, so I spoke." Yang Mi explained.
That's right, Zhang Yimou has been preparing for a movie called "Hero" after filming "Hulk". After such a long time, it is finally filmed.
It just so happened that I heard Gu Chenfeng say that sentence again today when he was on the podium, that's why Zhang Yimou and Yang Mi came to ask Gu Chenfeng for help.
As for Yang Mi, she and Gu Chenfeng have known each other for a long time. When Gu Chenfeng had just left Tianmang Entertainment, Yang Mi still wanted to invite Gu Chenfeng to join her company, but Gu Chenfeng Feng decided to open his own studio at that time.
It was the predecessor of Qingchen Entertainment Company. So far, Yang Mi has rented her company building to Gu Chenfeng at the price of cabbage.
Later, after Gu Chenfeng's Qingchen Entertainment Company gradually developed and expanded, he built his own company building.
After listening to Yang Mi's words, Gu Chenfeng frowned, and said: "It is agreed in advance that it is a double-edged sword in itself to release the movie overseas. If it succeeds overseas, then the domestic box office will inevitably go up." Packaging, but if it fails, it may have a negative impact on the domestic release."
Although Gu Chenfeng has never encountered such a situation in his previous movies, and his movies are basically hits both overseas and domestically, but there are other movies that have been fooled by this.
There used to be a movie. If it was released in China, the box office and word-of-mouth would definitely be good, but the producer was too ambitious and wanted to release it overseas.
However, everyone knows that there is still a big difference between the culture of Huaguo and overseas cultures, and it is not easy to break the cultural barriers.
As a result, after the film was released overseas, the box office and word of mouth were very poor, which caused even the domestic market to be greatly affected.
At this time, Zhang Yimou said: "When I was filming the "Hulk" you gave me, I studied it specifically. I can't say that I have studied it very thoroughly, but it should be pretty good."
"Moreover, a few days ago, I invited many filmmakers who are proficient in Western culture to watch "Hero". Very confident."
Originally, Zhang Yimou wanted to talk to Gu Chenfeng about getting the movie "Hero" to be screened overseas, but seeing that Gu Chenfeng didn't have time all the time, so he temporarily shelved it.
This time, Zhang Yimou didn't want to give up this opportunity after finally meeting him at the Starlight TV Festival dinner.
Any big domestic director wants to go international, there is no doubt about it.
Gu Chenfeng naturally understood Director Zhang Yimou's mood, so he said: "As long as you make a decision on this matter, I can help, but the ugly words come first, and I am only responsible for publishing it for you."
"What about the publicity?" Yang Mi asked.
Gu Chenfeng thought for a while and said, "As for publicity, I can go to Disney, they have a very mature publicity department."
Speaking of this, Gu Chenfeng seemed to think of something, looked at Zhang Yimou and Yang Mi and asked, "By the way, how much promotional expenses did your producer prepare for you?"
The reason why I ask this is because not everyone is like Gu Chenfeng. No matter what film and television works he shoots, his Qingchen Entertainment is rich and powerful, and he invests independently. Even if he lets others invest, then the decision The power is definitely in Gu Chenfeng's own hands.
In this way, he can spend as much as he wants on the cost of publicity.
However, most of the other domestic films have many investors, and there are many people involved. It is very troublesome to increase the cost of publicity.
Zhang Yimou stretched out three fingers and replied, "3000 million dollars."
"Too little!" Gu Chenfeng said bluntly.
In his opinion, if you want to carry out large-scale publicity around the world, if you spend less than 5000 million US dollars, basically it will not have very good results.
At this time, Yang Mi said again: "In our movie, except for Li Liangjie and Brother Jie, the others are not well-known overseas, so we only want to take the route of Internet promotion."
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Gu Chenfeng probably understood. It seems that Yang Mi is not only an actor of this movie, but also one of the investors of this movie, otherwise she would not be so concerned.
So Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said: "That's okay, Brother Jie's overseas influence is still very good, then your "Hero" trailer, it is best to have more fighting scenes of Brother Jie, In this way, we can attract those fans overseas.”
Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "The trailer I prepared was 72 seconds long, and Liangjie alone took up 40 seconds."
Just when Gu Chenfeng was about to speak, Reba, who had been standing beside him, suddenly said, "Mr. Gu, can you use your identity as the author of "Harry Potter" to recommend this movie?"
Obviously, Reba was instructed by Yang Mi, that's why he asked this question.
Others don't know that Gu Chenfeng is the author of the book "Harry Potter", but Reba, who has always had a very good relationship with Gu Chenfeng, knows it.
If Gu Chenfeng can help promote a wave of "Hero" overseas as the author of "Harry Potter", it will definitely be a great help to the entire movie.
You must know how popular this book is now overseas, and the success of the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" some time ago made this novel even more popular.
When Gu Chenfeng heard Reba's words, he was stunned, feeling like he had fallen into a wolf's den, looked at Reba and asked, "Do you know how long I have been hiding my identity? You exposed it to me in a blink of an eye Looks like I can't tell you about my other identities in the future."
"Ah?" Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Reba panicked immediately, and gave Yang Mi a resentful look.
She knew that as long as she opened her mouth about this matter, it would definitely make Gu Chenfeng unhappy, which would affect her relationship with Gu Chenfeng. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Gu Chenfeng smiled and shook his head, then said to Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, I will do my best for this matter."
"Thank you!" Zhang Yimou cupped his fists at Gu Chenfeng to thank him.
···
The starlight dinner lasted for more than two hours before it came to an end.
On the way back, manager Zhang Qingqing returned the phone to Gu Chenfeng and said, "Mr. Gu, many people called you just now, and they are basically the department heads of "Bright Sword"."
"In addition to congratulating you on the award, they all asked if the film "Changjin Lake" still needs people to form a crew?"
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly after listening, and said, "It seems that these guys still can't help it after they got the news!"
Zhang Qingqing nodded and said: "As long as it is someone who has worked with you, who can sit still after hearing that you have a new play? Then Mr. Gu, when you are filming "Changjin Lake" next time, you should Do you want to change a group of people?"
"No change!" Gu Chenfeng shook his head, and said: "When I was filming "Bright Sword", the group of people Zhuo Le formed were very happy to cooperate with me, and everyone has established a tacit understanding with each other , As for abilities, they are all top-notch, and I use them more easily, so I don't plan to change them."
For Gu Chenfeng, "Changjin Lake" is the most important step for him to use domestic anti-Japanese films to enter the international film industry. If he rashly finds a group of unfamiliar people, it will be a big problem just to get along with the crew.
And the film crew formed for the filming of "Bright Sword" has been well established. If there were no special circumstances, Gu Chenfeng would not have foolishly replaced people.
At this time, Zhang Qingqing said again: "Then Teacher Gu, should we recruit them all into the company, so that they can become your royal team in the future."
In fact, in Huaguo, those big directors all have their own team, even Zhuo Le, has his own team, but when filming "Bright Sword", according to the requirements of taking care of Chenfeng, he found some new directors who are good at The talents who shoot the theme of the Anti-Japanese War.
Obviously, at some point, Gu Chenfeng had plans in this regard. After all, if he wants to be a director, he must have his own royal team.
Gu Chenfeng thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll ask them one by one, and if they're willing, I'll recruit them."
After finishing speaking, Gu Chenfeng took out his mobile phone and called the heads of various departments. Everyone was extremely new to Gu Chenfeng, and they all agreed to join Qingchen Entertainment Company without hesitation.
Seeing this, Zhang Qingqing said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, these people treat you really well!"
"Just compare your heart with your heart!" Gu Chenfeng said: "Sister Zhang, I need to go to the Lighthouse Country tomorrow to deal with the release of "Hero". Please help me book a ticket, and then call Zhuang Wenjie, and we will go there together."
"As for domestic matters, I will leave them to Zhuo Le and Minister Liu to handle..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Chenfeng seemed to think of something again, and said: "Forget it, you can book tickets for me and Zhuang Wenjie, and you will be in the company to help receive the staff of various departments of "Changjin Lake". It will reach the gold market the day after tomorrow.”
"If I don't come back by then, I will hold a video conference call with them and arrange work."
"As for the producer of "Changjin Lake", I'd like to trouble you, Sister Zhang, to be in charge. I don't worry about anyone else except you."
"After I help Director Zhang and the others handle the matter of "Heroes", then we can directly start preparing for the filming of "Changjin Lake"."
After hearing Gu Chenfeng's arrangement, Zhang Qingqing's heart warmed up slightly. Being able to entrust such an important job to herself shows that in Gu Chenfeng's heart, he still trusts her very much.
So he nodded and agreed: "Okay, Mr. Gu, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Soon, the two returned to the hotel where they were staying, and went back to their rooms.
On Gu Chenfeng's side, after returning to the room, he took a hot shower as quickly as possible, and then played a video for Luo Qingcheng.
He briefly told Luo Qingcheng about his going to the Lighthouse Country and his plan to shoot "Changjin Lake".
Although Luo Qingcheng is not from the film industry or the entertainment industry, in Gu Chenfeng's heart, she will always be his leader, and he must report to him in advance if there is anything to do.
"Husband, Yaoyao also called me today, asking when you plan to start filming "Changjin Lake", so that she can send the money." Luo Qingcheng, who was on the opposite side of the video, suddenly asked.
Gu Chenfeng agreed before that Wang Yao could invest 15.00% of the film "Changjin Lake" and [-]% for the military camp.
Hearing Luo Qingcheng's words, Gu Chenfeng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's the first time I've seen investors so active, so, my wife, tell Yaoyao that she can transfer the money to Qingchen at any time." The account of the entertainment company, and then the company will give her a receipt and a shareholding agreement."
"As for the shooting, when I come back from the Lighthouse Country, I will start preparing for the shooting. Director Zhuo Le has almost done the preliminary work. At that time, we only need to confirm the actors and it will be fine."
"Okay!" Luo Qingcheng nodded, and said, "Honey, did you go to the Lighthouse Country to bring Zhuang Wenjie? Although your kung fu is very good, one more person is also safer."
As for Zhuang Wenjie's skill, Luo Qingcheng also heard from Gu Chenfeng before, so now wherever Gu Chenfeng goes, Luo Qingcheng asks him to take Zhuang Wenjie with him. As for the two female bodyguards introduced by Wang Yao before, now all Follow Tangtang and Luo Qingcheng.
Gu Chenfeng replied: "Don't worry, I have asked Sister Zhang to book the plane tickets for me and Zhuang Wenjie."
···
In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Chenfeng took Zhang Yimou and several representatives of the producer of "Heroes" on a flight to New York.
When everyone came out of the airport, Herman, the CEO of Disney Films, and several senior executives of the company immediately greeted them.
After seeing Herman, Gu Chenfeng greeted with a smile, "Mr. Herman, there's no need to mobilize so many people, right?"
Herman smiled and said, "Mr. Gu hasn't been to New York for a long time. As a friend, of course I will come to greet you."
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yimou next to Gu Chenfeng and asked, "Is this the director Zhang Yimou?"
"That's right!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and introduced to Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, this is Mr. Herman, the CEO of Disney Films."
Hearing Gu Chenfeng's introduction, Zhang Yimou's heart was shocked. Although he had tried his best to overestimate Gu Chenfeng's status in Disney, but now it seems that he is still muttering.
Even the CEO of the company personally brought the executives to greet Gu Chenfeng, how big a deal is this?
After greeting each other, everyone boarded the car and left the airport.
On the way, Gu Chenfeng looked at Herman with a smile and said, "Mr. Herman, the stock price of Disney Films seems to have risen a lot recently!"
The reason why Gu Chenfeng knew about it was because his original plan was to exit with a wave of profits when "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released and the global box office came out.
As a result, Gu Chenfeng made a profit of [-] million US dollars at a cost of one billion US dollars at the beginning. It is conceivable how much Disney's stock has skyrocketed.
When Herman heard Gu Chenfeng talk about this topic, a bright smile appeared on his face, and said: "This is thanks to Mr. Gu's previous help, and the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" , won the first place in both word of mouth and box office, which makes us Disney ashamed."
"In addition, we have made good profits for two consecutive films before, which has allowed our Disney's market value to exceed 2000 billion US dollars again."
Gu Chenfeng smiled and asked, "Then are you going to shoot the second part of "Harry Potter" now?"
"That's right!" Herman nodded and said, "We are making preparations before shooting."
At this time, Gu Chenfeng said: "We have a saying in Huaguo that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Mr. Herman wants to make "Harry Potter" a classic series of movies and a symbol of Disney. Then We must take each subsequent part more seriously.”
"If there is a problem with any of the middle ones, it will inevitably lead to strong dissatisfaction among movie fans, and the expectations will also drop sharply. Since the plot has already been known by fans, a series without expectations Movies, even ordinary movies, are far inferior."
Speaking of this, Gu Chenfeng took a deep look at Herman and said, "Mr. Herman, you must not slack off!"
Listening to Gu Chenfeng's words and looking into his gaze, Herman suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Gu Chenfeng's words were like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, completely waking up Herman, who had been trapped in joy and complacency.
That's right, the success of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" only means that they took the first step very steadily, but if they didn't take the second step well, they fell to the ground, and then they got up again Yes, it is already full of scars.
Under such circumstances, if you want to take the third step well, you must be more troubled than when you took the first step.
After thinking about these things clearly, Herman suddenly felt that in the past two months, he seemed to have drifted a little bit.
So, Herman bowed his head respectfully to Gu Chenfeng, and said: "Mr. Gu, thank you, thank you very much for your words just now, which woke me up."
"The current Disney is just getting back on track, and it's far from enjoying the fruits of victory. I've been too complacent recently."
When Gu Chenfeng saw this, appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Most of the people in the lighthouse country who are in high positions are unwilling to listen to other people's different opinions, Mr. Herman, can you understand me?" If so, it is really rare to wake up in time, and this also makes me more optimistic about the future of Disney's development."
Herman said with a wry smile: "I have heard too many praises from the media and people around me during this time, and I almost forgot about the Disney crisis. It really shouldn't be, Mr. Gu, I will invite you in the future A lot of pointers."
Gu Chenfeng waved his hand and said: "It's fine to chat, but it's fine to give pointers. With my level, how can I give you pointers!"
Herman could tell that Gu Chenfeng was being modest, but he didn't say anything, just smiled.
At least he really learned a lot when chatting with Gu Chenfeng.
However, although Zhang Yimou didn't understand a single word of the conversation between the two, he also said that from the slight changes in Herman's attitude towards Gu Chenfeng, this conversation was all led by Gu Chenfeng from the beginning to the end. Leading, Herman is like a younger brother who is willing to learn, and respects Gu Chenfeng very much.
You know, this is the CEO of Disney Films, one of the six giants in Hollywood. Zhang Yimou was extremely shocked by his attitude in front of Gu Chenfeng.
In retrospect, Gu Chenfeng has not been in contact with Disney for a long time, but now he has such a high status in the Disney film company, it is simply unbelievable!
Zhang Yimou clearly remembered that, if there were no accidents, when director Li Lan helped Gu Chenfeng's "Zootopia" animation film to be released globally, it was Gu Chenfeng's first contact with Disney Films.
But in the past few years, Gu Chenfeng has already reached such a height.
···
After the car arrived at the Disney headquarters, Zhang Yimou and the representative of the producer of "Hero" had a two-hour negotiation with Disney's publicity and distribution department, and finally reached an agreement.
"Hero" is distributed by Disney Films in Europe and the United States. The promotion fee is 3000 million US dollars, and the producer can get 30.00% of the box office revenue.
Don't think that this box office share is very low. You must know that in the past, the revenue ratio of many domestic films could not even reach 20.00%, let alone 30.00%.
Even if a Hollywood film is brought to Huaguo, the share is only around 30.00%.
The producer of "Yingxi Palace" was very satisfied with this agreement, and signed it readily.
The work efficiency of Disney Films is very fast. That night, the trailer of "Hero" was released on major video sites, and many sailors were hired to help with publicity.
Although there is only 3000 million U.S. dollars in publicity expenses, ten days of publicity is enough.
After attending the dinner hosted by Disney for Gu Chenfeng and the crew of "Heroes", Gu Chenfeng returned to the hotel.
In the car, Zhang Yimou looked at Gu Chenfeng and asked curiously: "Mr. Gu, what is the relationship between you and Disney? Why do their CEOs and senior management treat you so respectfully?"
In his opinion, if Gu Chenfeng was only a shareholder of Disney Cinemas, he would definitely not have such a big face. After all, Disney Cinemas is just an industry under the Disney Film Company.
Then there is only one explanation, Gu Chenfeng must have some identity that other people don't know, which makes the Disney company respect him very much.
Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm just the second largest shareholder of their theater chain, the reason why they respect me so much is actually because the "Harry Potter" series is Disney's life-saving straw , They are afraid that I will break the contract and not hand over this series to them, so they dare not offend me."
After listening to Gu Chenfeng's words, Zhang Yimou became even more curious, and asked, "Didn't you already sell them the copyright of the Harry Potter movie?"
"That's right!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said, "I sold them the copyright of the film, but the liquidated damages are only one billion dollars. If the shares are returned, then Disney will face a very passive situation.”
"Of course, if they have other support, not relying on "Harry Potter", that's a different story."
Hearing this, Zhang Yimou frowned, and said, "It's another matter? Could they still turn against you?"
Gu Chenfeng laughed and said, "Director Zhang, in Hua Country, human feelings are paramount, and moral judgment is even greater than legal judgment, but it's different in Lighthouse Country, where interests are always paramount."
"I can bring benefits to Disney, so they treat me like an ancestor, but when one day I can't bring benefits to them, then I will be a waste in their eyes."
"Crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, dismantling mills and killing donkeys is normal in the business world of Lighthouse Country. No one will blame the other party, because everyone's concept is like this. Everything is for profit. Since you have no value to use, then others It is also normal to tear down bridges when crossing rivers."
After listening to Gu Chenfeng's words, Zhang Yimou sighed: "This place is simply too scary."
Gu Chenfeng said quietly: "The heaven for young people, the battlefield for adults, and the inferiority for the elderly, this is the law of the jungle in the Lighthouse Kingdom, and there is no human feeling at all."
These are all Gu Chenfeng heard from Zhuo Le when he came to the Lighthouse Country to film and attend the Oscars.
And for this point of view, Gu Chenfeng also particularly agrees, and he also deeply felt that at the Oscar awards ceremony...
Hearing this, Zhang Yimou couldn't help shivering, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
···
The next morning, after Gu Chenfeng finished his boxing practice, he returned to the hotel, and saw Serna with outstanding posture at a glance.
Gu Chenfeng asked in surprise: "Selna, why are you here?"
Serna smiled and said, "Boss, I heard that you arrived in New York yesterday, so I came here early in the morning."
Gu Chenfeng smiled and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet!" Serna replied.
Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "You go downstairs and wait for me first, I'll go back to my room and wash my face, and then we'll go have breakfast together."
Serna nodded and said, "Okay!"
After 15 minutes, the two sat in a western restaurant opposite the hotel and began to eat breakfast.
Serna looked at Gu Chenfeng and said, "Boss, I need to report three things to you."
"The first thing, the bitcoin you asked me to buy before has skyrocketed to 11.27 US dollars in less than a week, and the value of the 300 bitcoins in your hand has skyrocketed More than [-] percent."
Speaking of this, Selna looked at Gu Chenfeng with admiration.
Selna also wanted to buy some bitcoins before, but she found that the entire society in the lighthouse country was not very optimistic about this virtual currency, so she didn't make a move.
Moreover, when Gu Chenfeng asked her to buy bitcoins, he specially paid a [-]% premium, that is to say, as long as she bought them and then sold them to Gu Chenfeng, she could earn [-]% of the fee. .
One can imagine how bullish Gu Chenfeng was on Bitcoin back then.
Even so, Serna didn't dare to buy it by herself, all of them were bought for Gu Chenfeng.
But who would have thought that not long after that, Bitcoin would skyrocket like a blowout, which made Selna regret it, and at the same time cast her eyes on Gu Chenfeng's admiration.
Gu Chenfeng let out a sigh, and said: "I said at the beginning that this thing is either plummeting or skyrocketing. Now it seems that my prediction is quite accurate."
Just kidding, I missed it once when I was on Earth before, how could I miss it this time.
Moreover, according to the development trend of bitcoin on the earth, 2 US dollars is far from the limit of bitcoin, not even one-tenth of it. On the earth, when bitcoin was at its highest, it rose to more than [-] US dollars one piece.
Serna asked: "Boss, the value of Bitcoin is so high now, do you want to take this opportunity and sell some of it?"
Gu Chenfeng shook his head resolutely, and said: "No, as long as Bitcoin doesn't cross, it will only rise higher in the future, you just continue to help me buy it, now let's talk about the second thing! "
