Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 322

From Los Angeles to Utah, the flight takes more than two hours.

Then take a car, from the Gobi to the canyon, and then to the snow-capped mountains, the straight road leads to the distance, extending to the wind (ren) scenery (yan) beautiful (xi) beautiful (shao) Park City.

The whole quaint alpine town, covered with snow and full of ski resorts, is the best ski resort in the United States.

In the hotel, the heater was blowing.

"We'll go there in a moment."

Lu Fei stretched out his hand and pointed to the Snow Mountain Park in the distance.

"It's so cold, zip it up."

Zeng Li stepped forward, and thoughtfully helped him straighten his tie and dress, and glanced at the white snow from the corner of his eye.

When I think of dating in a world of ice and snow, I can't tell what to look forward to.

The Sundance Film Festival is just a drop in.

Although the standard is very high, it is equivalent to the hematopoietic machine of Hollywood movies. New directors are used as a springboard to direct commercial blockbusters. Hollywood's six major and second-tier film companies are also panning for gold in the sea, picking up scripts and talents.

The celebrities who attended are regarded as a show with a sense of presence.

"open!"

"Zhang, this way, look this way!"

Zhang Ziyi was wearing a silver-gray cheongsam, holding a man's arm to show her affection: "Qishan, what do you think?"

"Great, very good."

Huo Qishan smiled, matching his girlfriend's concave shape.

Zhang Ziyi said softly: "Then are you willing to let me give up these things?"

"Of course I don't want to."

Huo Qishan said helplessly: "But this is Daddy's Mommy's request. They have already made a lot of concessions. As long as you quit the entertainment circle and focus on your family, we are allowed to get married."

Zhang Ziyi frowned and shook her head: "This stage is the rising stage of my career, I will be acting in "Memoirs of a Geisha" soon, do you know the weight?"

Then raised his chin proudly, "This is a Hollywood movie, a Hollywood movie starring Chinese actresses! Gong Li didn't do it, I did it, and I was the protagonist, Gong Li played a supporting role for me, and the whole of China couldn't find it the second……"

"Look, you're here again. When it comes to getting married and quitting the entertainment industry, you're anxious."

Huo Qishan sighed, and slandered in his heart: American directors make movies with neon culture, is it suitable for you, a Chinese movie star, to make them?

"Don't your parents just dislike me for showing up in public, don't you dislike me for losing your Huo family's family style..."

Zhang Ziyi twitched her lips, she finally broke into Hollywood by relying on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", how could she just give up, rich marriage, international superstar, she wanted them all.

Huo Qishan didn't want to argue, so he tried every means to change the topic.

Walking in the lobby of the movie palace, I suddenly saw a Chinese face with the same black hair and yellow skin in the gap between the crowd, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"What are you watching? The movie is about to start."

Zhang Ziyi followed his gaze, and a familiar woman's face appeared in sight, "Zeng Damei?"

"Do you know that woman?" Huo Qishan's eyes lit up, "Come on, let's say hello."

"Why is she here?"

Zhang Ziyi blinked, making sure she wasn't dazzled.

The Zeng Li in front of her was indeed a living person, and she was greatly shocked: Impossible!Absolutely impossible!How could she participate in the Sundance Film Festival with her position!
But when she saw the male companion next to her, and saw her male companion greet warmly and attentively, she immediately understood——

Master Lu!

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Huo here."

Lu Fei only glanced at Zhang Ziyi and instantly understood, but what was even more unexpected was that the dignified second son of the Huo family acted as an interpreter for her.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lu, my father, my elder brother and I have long wanted to see you!"

Huo Qishan glanced at Zeng Li, two completely different auras of flamboyance and coldness merged into one person without any sense of disobedience, so he couldn't help but glance a few more times, which immediately aroused Zhang Ziyi's dissatisfaction.

"Oh, Zeng Damei! How could it be such a coincidence!"

In front of Lu Fei, she didn't dare to be a monster, and enthusiastically recalled the old days: "Let me introduce to you, this is my college classmate and my best friend. I, she and a few other classmates also call it 'China Opera Seven Golden Flowers'." flower'……"

"What a coincidence." Zeng Li smiled.

"Zeng Damei, you are so mean that you didn't even tell me when you attended Sundance."

Zhang Ziyi insinuated softly: "Why didn't I notice you at the opening ceremony?"

Zeng Li shook her head, "We just arrived today, to watch a few movies before skiing."

It turned out to be to buy tickets to enter!

Zhang Ziyi immediately cheered up, "Oh, so you are here to ski."

"ski?"

Huo Qishan couldn't help being moved, and proposed to go together after watching the movie, but Lu Fei politely refused with a smile, and already had an appointment.

"So I was waiting for someone."

Seeing Zeng Li's happy face, Zhang Ziyi tugged her boyfriend's arm with gusto, "It's getting late, President Lu, Zeng Damei, let's go to the theater first."

Zeng Li waved her hand with a smile, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a bald man in a black suit and sunglasses appearing out of nowhere, very respectful.

"Miss Zeng?"

Brian Lord was introducing himself. When he saw Lu Fei's face, his pupils trembled, and his mouth opened into an "O" shape, "I'll buy it!"

"I even buy Karma."

Zhang Ziyi froze in place, muttering: "It's him, it's him, it's him..."

"Who are you talking about? That bald head?"

Huo Qishan was puzzled when he saw Brian Lord.

"He is the most powerful gold agent in CAA!"

Zhang Ziyi stared blankly, it must be Master Lu's effort, Zeng Li leaned on a tall branch, feeling sour in her heart, she squinted at Huo Qishan——

The second son of the Huo family, that's all!

.........

"Just call me Lord!"

Brian Lord regained his composure and introduced himself.

"Let's find a movie theater and watch and chat."

Lu Fei opened the brochure of the film festival. There were feature films and short films. There were more than 60 films densely packed. On the list of the day's screenings, a horror short film emerged from a pile of literary films——

"Jigsaw".

"Aren't you talking about things? How about watching horror movies?"

Zeng Li looked sideways, with playfulness in her eyes.

"The time is short, only 15 minutes."

Lu Fei rubbed his mouth, but actually glanced casually, saw the director's name - Wen Ziren, and immediately thought of "Chain Saw".

Sure enough, the scene of the short film is in the toilet.

Lying on the ground was a bald head covered in blood, which seemed to be dead. The feet of both the doctor and the photographer were tied with iron chains, and they couldn't break free no matter how hard they tried.

In this situation, including Zeng Li, the audience watched it fresh and kept their eyes on it, but Lu Fei was not interested, and he couldn't get too familiar with it, so he discussed signing with Brian Lord as an agent.

The most famous thing about CAA is that apart from team services, they are bundled sales, and generally do not provide individual artist services.

If you want to find CAA actors, you have to use CAA directors, scripts, and even producers at the same time, and you have to bleed a lot.

For example, Jay Chou's appearance in "Now You See Me 2" and Fan Shuibing's "Blink" in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" all depended on the operation of CAA.

Brian Lord glanced at Zeng Li, and raised her agency level to Hollywood's B-list, a position that only second-tier actresses deserve.

It's not that she is so good, but that Lu Fei is too awesome.

"So it's settled then?"

Lu Fei finalized the agreement framework and core interests, splits, film contracts, service levels, etc., and also established many taboos:
Resolutely refuse to play a gorgeous Asian character!
Kissing scenes and passionate scenes must not be filmed...

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, just stop acting!
Brian Lord felt that it was tricky, Hollywood is dominated by old white men, not to mention Asian characters, even if Nico is right, he can't get many opportunities.

"As long as there is a script that meets the requirements, she can be given priority." Lu Fei does not force it. Zeng Li's career focuses on China, and Hollywood is just gilded and forced.

"I will report to Michael, and if he agrees, the contract can be signed immediately."

Brian Lord understood and let out a sigh of relief.

Just as the short film was drawing to a close, the doctor turned off the lights and found the things hidden in the "X" mark, mobile phones and poisoned cigarettes.

The picture freezes on the doctor's face, and the sound of heavy breathing comes from the speaker, and then the screen goes black, leaving the photographer in suspense whether to kill or not.

The cinema is originally very dark, and with the big screen and surround sound, watching "Jigsaw" will be even more frightening.

"How?" Lu Fei asked with a smile.

Zeng Li said with an unfinished look: "It's good, but it's too short."

Lu Fei raised his lips: "Then let the director make a feature film of the story! I will pay for it!"

Brian Lord's heart trembled, you really spent your money picking up girls!

…………

The auditorium arranged by the organizer for "Jigsaw" was very small, with a maximum capacity of 100 people, but even so, it was still deserted, with only twenty or thirty spectators.

Wen Ziren was not disappointed, instead, he was overjoyed, because miraculously he attracted an investor, who was also a wealthy Asian!
"I'm the lead actor and writer, Ray Whannell."

After Ray Warner's introduction, Wen Ziren faced Lu Fei and the three of them nervously and excitedly. Although he was born in Malaysia, his ancestral home was in China. He is an out-and-out Chinese descendant with Chinese blood flowing.

"Do you like Huaxia?"

Lu Fei flipped through the first draft of the script.

Is it because I love Huaxia that you invest in me?
Wen Ziren did not hesitate: "Of course, I love Huaxia, I love logic, and I love lmusic!"

"That's right, we're all fans of logic."

Ray Warner said that they had no funds, so they could only do odd jobs to save money to make movies, but when they saved some money, lmusic1 and 2 were born out of nowhere.

"When lmusic3 is released, I will give you one for free."

Lu Fei closed the script calmly, "How much do you need to film the story inside?"

Ray Warner and Wen Ziren made eye contact, neither of them dared to make an offer, and kicked the ball back:

"Sir, how much are you willing to pay?"

"120 million production funds, 10 to buy out the copyright of the script."

Lu Fei obviously holds a money printing machine in his hand, and in front of Brian Lord, he deliberately pretends to be an upstart who doesn't understand anything.

Ray Whannell was so excited that he looked at Wen Ziren, gritted his teeth, and kept thinking in his mind.

"After the movie is finished, I will not keep it privately. I can also help you find a movie distributor and put it online in theaters."

While Lu Fei was speaking, he glanced at Brian Lord.

"No problem, CAA is professional."

He knew in his heart that the test for himself and CAA was coming.

The reason why CAA's brokerage can run across Hollywood is because of the one-stop service. If you want to invest in a film, you can provide a full team from the script to the post-production, and they are all top-notch candidates.

"I have a request!"

Wen Ziren plucked up his courage, "I must direct it myself..."

"Of course, your story is of course the most suitable for you to shoot."

Lu Fei not only agreed, but also gave more power, including the crucial decision-making power of the crew and the final editing power, which is equivalent to 120 million US dollars at will.

Wen Ziren felt an unprecedented level of trust. When asked about the shooting cycle, he thought for a moment and said:

"Give me a month without post-production and editing!"

There was firmness, confidence, and drive in his tone.

one month!are you crazy?

Brian Lord's eyes widened, and he just wanted to dissuade young people from being too aggressive, but Lu Fei clapped his hands and said youthfully:
"Okay, I'll give you a month!"

Brian Lord: 0.0?

He couldn't wait to call Richard Lovett right away:

People are stupid, they have a lot of money, they are easy to cheat, hurry up!

　Thanks to the teddy bear in Miracle Island for the 100 starting coins.
