China entertainment that year eighteen

Chapter 304 Pirates is coming to theaters
Seeing that Lu Heng was about to leave, Zhang Weiping quickly tried to persuade him and winked at Zhang Yimou to persuade him to give in.

Zhang Yimou hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly and said, "I'll think about it again."

Lu Heng nodded: "Let's take a look at it, Director Zhang. I'll go back first. If I change my mind, we'll discuss it again."

"Okay, if you don't bother, I'll see you off." Zhang Yimou stood up and said.

The two sent Lu Heng out, and Zhang Weiping said, "Have you forgotten who the first screenwriter of "Red Cliff" is?"

Zhang Yimou was startled.

Zhang Weiping asked: "How does "Red Cliff" compare with "Hero"?"

Zhang Yimou remained silent.

It has grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office around the world. It is obvious that the plot is both internal and external, and he cannot compare with it in this regard.

"I understand." Zhang Yimou nodded.

After returning home, he immersed himself in studying Lu Heng's script for most of the night.

The next day, Lu Heng received a call from Zhang Yimou: "Most of them are fine. Some places still need to be discussed with Mr. Lu."

Lu Heng smiled: "Okay, I'll come over then."

The framework of this movie is still okay. If the loopholes are corrected and the actors are well deployed, it will not be said to be much better than the previous life, but at least the box office and reputation will definitely improve.

Lu Heng is not afraid of taking the lead, he just wants this movie to be better.

On Zhang Yimou's side, Lu Heng's status allowed him to consider it seriously. So after watching it, I found that it was all based on the plot, logic, and perception. I also understood that Lu Heng was simply talking about the matter. After thinking about it carefully, I felt With these changes, Lu Heng seemed to be "skilled" compared to himself.

After the discussion, it’s time to prepare.

Lu Heng didn't need to worry about this aspect, Lao Mouzi, who had directed dramas for more than 20 years, could take care of it.

After Lu Heng had a few days of leisure, he went to Magnesium Country.

Because... "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is about to start pre-release publicity.

After all, it is a film that he invested in, and it is a bigger investment than the previous "Red Cliff". With a global focus, Lu Heng naturally cannot afford to miss anything.

After communicating with Lu Heng, Disney finally decided on the title of the first film, which is called "The Curse of the Black Pearl". After all, the main plot of this film is that Barbossa and the people on the ship, from Captain Jack Sparrow back then, After snatching the Black Pearl from his hand, he grabbed the box of gold coins with the curse, and finally broke the curse through Will's blood.

After making arrangements in the capital, Lu Heng took some people from the company and went to Magnesium Country with Han Ping and some people from their group.

As for Jiang Zhiqiang, he set off from Xiangjiang and met again in Los Angeles.

When he arrived at the Disney headquarters, Lu Heng heard Jerry arguing with someone on the phone. After listening for a while, Lu Heng almost understood.

It's related to Orlando - another movie he stars in, "The Return of the King, Part [-] of The Lord of the Rings" will also be released at the end of the year. Promotion has been started there, and he is following the crew everywhere.

Jerry was angry because Orlando took too little time!

After listening to Jerry's call for a while, Lu Heng gave him a gesture to let him speak.

Jerry was stunned for a moment, but still gave the phone to Lu Heng.

After picking up the phone, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel funny when he heard Orlando still complaining endlessly, so he said:

"Hi, are you done?"

Orlando heard the voice on the other end of the phone change, and there was a brief pause. Then he realized it and said tentatively:
"Lu Heng?"

"Of course." Lu Heng said with a smile: "I thought you had forgotten me." "It's really you!" Orlando exclaimed immediately, and then responded to what Lu Heng just said:

"How is it possible? What I miss the most is you."

"Really?" Lu Heng sat down: "In that case, I'm here now, aren't you ready to come?"

"Oh, I have no choice. The movie will be released soon, and the schedule is very full. I also want to-"

"Stop!"

Lu Heng frowned and interrupted: "Don't tell me this, this is not your reason."

Seemingly stunned by Lu Heng's tone, there was silence on the other end of the phone, and Lu Heng continued:

"If you have a bad memory, you can take a look at the contract. It clearly states that as the starring role, you must participate in no less than 2/3 of the entire film's promotional activities, as well as publicity in major cities in the country. , otherwise...you still have one-third of your salary."

Orlando was silent again, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

Lu Heng could imagine this guy's expression at this time, but he didn't care about it. With or without Orlando promotion, the effect would definitely be different.

Now is the time when Prince Elf is the most popular. After all, The Lord of the Rings has reached its third installment. If we don’t make money from such traffic and take advantage of such hot spots, Lu Heng’s life will be in vain.

Besides, Lu Heng's behavior is not considered a trick. After all, Orlando is the real number two male lead in the Caribbean, and it is not considered a ploy.

But a new movie like Pirates of the Caribbean, even if it is produced by Disney and stars Lu Heng, who has just become famous, is still new after all. And with the support of Orlando, the elf prince, first of all, the attention will be greatly increased.

"Why are you trying to get along with me?"

After a while, Orlando said in a depressed tone.

"You signed this contract yourself, no one forced you, right?" Lu Heng laughed and couldn't help but cross his legs.

"I-" Orlando choked.

He didn't know that the two cars would collide. Besides, Lu Heng was on guard against this, so he made the request, otherwise he would really let this guy slip away.

On the other hand, on the Lord of the Rings side, it was purely due to the high level of enthusiasm and the fact that they were first that Orlando was reluctant to leave.

But now that Lu Heng has pulled out the contract, he has to compromise, because all the remuneration from Lord of the Rings has been received after he participated in the promotion and exceeded 2/3 of the schedule.

Seeing Lu Heng looking calm and composed after hanging up the phone, Jerry was stunned. If he could speak Chinese, he would probably shout: "Fuck, is this okay?"

Then, as if Jerry remembered something, he turned around and rummaged through the cabinets for something. After a while, he found a file box, took out a document and looked through it.

After looking at it and raising his head again, Jerry's eyes looked like this when he looked at Lu Heng.

(°-°〃)
It turns out that the original contract is waiting here. Although Hollywood also has contracts related to publicity, they are not as detailed as Lu Heng made clear, and there is also a corresponding remuneration.

"What a fox." Jerry thought to himself.

However, no matter what, he felt at ease with this, and then he gave Lu Heng a thumbs up, looking impressed.

Now that all the links are in place, the edited promotional videos will also be released in batches to major TV stations.

As for road shows, while China does not yet have this method, Magnesium has had this publicity model for a long time.

The first stop is naturally starting from Los Angeles, where Hollywood is located.

　thanks for your support.
