my movie years

Chapter 160 Tianmi Film and Television Production Company is established!
After the banquet in the capital, Zhang Hao and the third master shared the same car.

In the car, the third master asked Zhang Hao: "Those ideas were really put forward by that man named Jeff?"

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Uncle Han really can't hide anything from you, you are so insightful, those ideas were actually put forward by me."

"You," said the third master, shaking his head and laughing, "who can hide this flamboyance from anyone! I will try my best to persuade you with the scissors. Don't worry about the future, do it with all your strength!"

"Thank you Uncle Han for your support." Zhang Hao said gratefully.

"You don't have to thank me. It's my greatest gratitude to make a show and let the world see the demeanor of our Chinese filmmakers." The third master looked at the crowd outside the car window and seemed to sigh.

After Zhang Hao stated the pros and cons, the two leaders of the scissors, Director Liu and Director Qiao, readily agreed with Zhang Hao's idea.

In fact, China Film Group organized a study and visit group to Hollywood, which was initiated by Liu Ju and Director Qiao. The two leaders are considered to be the more enlightened group of scissors.

It's just that this kind of study visit obviously had no effect, and it was never organized again in the following years.

Director Liu once said to the third master in private: "Among so many directors, director Xiaozhang is the one who is most connected with the world."

It was also because of this sentence that today's meeting was facilitated, but I didn't expect that Zhang Hao would give such a big surprise as soon as we met.

Surprised that the two leaders didn't eat the meal and didn't serve the main course, they left in a hurry and went back to the big scissors to discuss with other leaders.

As for whether it can be done and how to do it, it is beyond Zhang Hao's control, and it will not affect him as the director of Batman anyway.

If it succeeds, it is estimated that the competition for the list of studying in the United States will be very fierce, because many people will take this as a golden opportunity and come back to grab it.

The third master also asked Zhang Hao: "If it's not your team that decides to go, what should you do?"

Zhang Hao replied honestly: "It's okay to squeeze a few people in, after all, everyone is for progress, I can't eat alone, let others watch, and then become a public enemy myself.

But if someone wants to grab food from my bowl, I will smash the bowl, and everyone will stop eating. I will continue to shoot Batman and be my big director.

Others continue to make money in this part of the country, whatever they want, and what happens in the end is none of my business. "

The third master nodded Zhang Hao's forehead and said: "You are still young, how can you be so aggressive in doing things? Don't worry, you, a great hero, will not suffer, and you will not be chilled."

"With your words, I feel relieved." Zhang Hao said.

In the next few days, people from China Film Group were in charge of contacting Jeff Robinov, and took Jeff Robinov to visit China Film Group, and flew to Hengdian to visit the film and television city, and brought Jeff Robinov Strolled around the bustling commercial centers of major ticket warehouse cities.

At this time, another piece of good news came. Wanda Cinemas finally acquired AMC Cinemas in May this year, officially becoming the world's largest cinema operator.

AMC Cinemas Group is the second largest theater chain operator in the United States. It owns 364 theaters with a total of 5028 screens, including 120 IMAX screens and 3 2170D screens. It is the world's largest operator of IMAX and 3D screens.

The theaters owned by AMC are concentrated in the heart of large cities across the United States, with 23 of the top [-] theaters with the most box office in North America.

Now, this theater chain has directly become a theater chain company under Wanda, and Wanda's overseas strategy can be said to be a huge step forward.

So what does this good news mean for Zhang Hao directing Batman?
It means that the so-called unspoken rules of Hollywood's default, the so-called gap barriers have been greatly weakened.

After all, Chinese companies have directly controlled the terminal of the film industry. It is hard not to guarantee whether these wealthy Chinese will directly acquire a Hollywood film production company.

Since the financial crisis in 08, all major Hollywood film companies that are visible to the naked eye have encountered financial panic.

The Wall Street crocodile who took advantage of him in the past is now in a bit of a crisis. How can he spare time to play in Hollywood?
Therefore, the major Hollywood film companies have sold themselves to large media companies and consortiums, and there are few film companies that can maintain their independent identities.

Looking around, among the giants, only Disney has maintained its independent identity, but don't forget that Disney itself is a large media company.

Therefore, once a film company encounters an existential crisis, no matter what unspoken rules, as long as it is not an explicit prohibition, Hollywood film companies do not mind selling themselves to the capital of any country in the world.

With such favorable conditions, things will be easy to negotiate.

After the leader of Big Scissors asked for instructions, he had an in-depth discussion with Jeff Robinov, and on the condition of increasing the share of imported movies, he got a five-year contract.

The contract stipulates that within five years, through China Film Group as the medium, excellent Chinese film talents will be sent to Hollywood to study one after another.

These learning lists are not limited to directors, but also include many behind-the-scenes personnel, photography, special effects production, costume props and other behind-the-scenes personnel.

The first batch of finalized lists are Zhang Hao and his team, as well as Tiangong Yicai Studio.

Hearing the news from the third master, Zhang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did he reach a cooperation proposal, but more importantly, he took his team to study in Hollywood without outsiders intervening.

Others want to go, then they have to wait for the next opportunity.

However, everything in the world is changing very quickly, and the country on the other side of the Pacific has backed out on its promises not once or twice.

Maybe people see that the effect of study is good, and a ban will be issued next year, announcing that Chinese filmmakers are prohibited from going to Hollywood to study.

This is also something that can't be helped, it is impossible to turn against others directly!

So the first chance is the most important, who knows if there will be variables in the future.

After the discussion, Jeff Robinov said goodbye to Zhang Hao: "Zhang, we met over there."

"Thank you, Jeff." Zhang Hao thanked.

"You're welcome, I'm doing this for myself and for Warner Pictures." Jeff drank the Starbucks coffee and continued to frown: "Come down to Los Angeles and visit my house. I have a small yacht that you can take with you." With your girlfriend, let's go fishing together.

By the way, I invite you to taste the best coffee. "

"Thank you, I still prefer to drink tea." Zhang Hao smiled.

"Okay then, let's drink your celebration tea, isn't that right?"

"If I want to celebrate, I hope to drink our domestic liquor."

After the two hugged, Jeff embarked on the journey back to China, and Zhang Hao continued to be busy with the filming of "The Butterfly Effect".

On May 24th, three days before the Cannes International Film Festival, the crew of "The Butterfly Effect" officially announced the completion of the filming after more than two months.

In fact, Zhang Hao works hard every day because he has to catch up with the schedule, and sleeps less than four hours a day. After a long time, it makes Da Mi Mi feel distressed.

Thinking of Yu Feihong's soup-making skills that she had seen before, Da Mimi resumed the cooking practice she had put down again, and made some tonic soup for Zhang Hao.

At the same time, some things about the big scissors and Warner Pictures were revealed through various channels, which aroused discussions among insiders.

Many people who are interested in developing in this field were moved upon hearing the news, and they used contacts one after another in order to obtain a quota, but then they were told that the quota had already been set.

"When was it decided? Why don't I know?"

"It was decided when we negotiated a long time ago. It was requested by Warner Pictures. The first list is Zhang Hao and his team."

"It's him again, why are all the good things his?"

"He can win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, can you? You can't just say these words that are not conducive to unity."

"I'm not unconvinced, but I have to give others a chance. Can't let him take all the benefits?"

"Isn't there a second batch and a third batch? Why are you in a hurry? Say something you don't like to hear, and don't be jealous of him. If it weren't for Zhang Hao, you wouldn't even have this chance, Warner Films Ye has hired him as a director?"

"What? Zhang Hao is going to Hollywood to be a director?"

Conversations similar to the above happen in every place, every corner.It didn't take long for Zhang Hao to go to Hollywood to direct a movie, which spread throughout the circle.

The circle became lively instantly, and many people were guessing what project Zhang Hao was going to direct in Hollywood.

Some say it's a costume blockbuster, some say it's a war movie, some say it's an action movie.

After Wu Baige, there is finally a pure Chinese film director embarking on a trip to Hollywood again, which is still an exciting discussion for a while.

Ang Lee's kind doesn't count. After all, although he made "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he is not a real Chinese film director.

As we talked, discordant voices came out.

Zhang Hao was just a small role, and Warner Pictures couldn't trust Zhang Hao to direct. It was just an excuse. In the end, Zhang Hao came back as disheartened as Wu Baige.

Outstanding people will always be envied by others. Zhang Hao has long been prepared for this, so his mentality is very stable.

But Da Mimi was aggrieved, and scolded those who were jealous, saying they were jealous.

"I think these people who are not capable but still envious of those who are capable are just sick. What else do you say? You worship foreigners? It's okay to co-author so many people who want to go to Hollywood to develop, and we go to worship foreigners?

What's the point? "Da Mimi's face was full of anger, it can be seen that the remarks of some people in the circle really made her very angry.

This is the case with Da Mimi. She can deal with some things about her being hacked.Then he told Zhang Hao not to talk to these sunspots, they will pass after a while.

But once Zhang Hao was smeared, she would be very angry like the fried-haired Miaomiao, and she would not give up until she had to find someone to reason out one, two, three, four.

Zhang Hao comforted: "Okay, okay, not being jealous is a mediocrity, those who say we worship foreigners, don't they want to develop in Hollywood.

It was because I had no chance to go, so I said such things to make myself feel better.The more you react, the more you are in their way. "

Da Mi Mi was still very angry: "Hmph, it's just some villains who can't see the light, if they have the ability to say it face to face, see if I don't hit them and make their faces bloom."

"Haha, the first-line Xiaohua Mimi fights against black fans, this scene must be very good." Zhang Hao hugged Da Mimi's soft waist and laughed.

Da Mimi writhed back and forth in Zhang Hao's arms, and said in disbelief, "I'm fighting for you, you want to see me laugh."

"Okay, okay, by the way, has your new contract been transferred to the company?" Zhang Hao changed the subject.

"It's been turned around. From now on, I'm yours. You have to treat me well, or I'll quit." Da Mimi said coquettishly.

"What is job-hopping? You are also one of the bosses, okay?" Zhang Hao knocked Da Mimi on the head.

"It hurts," Da Mimi rubbed his head, staring at Zhang Hao dissatisfied.

I don't know why, Da Mimi, who looks very grand in front of outsiders, looks like a very small girl in front of Zhang Hao. Acting like a baby has become Da Mimi's daily instinct.

"That's good too, almost next year, when the company expands a bit, you can organize yourself, make some TV dramas, or try to be a producer." Zhang Hao said.

Zhang Hao once described a bright future for Da Mi, and now he is realizing it little by little.

Da Mimi was very willing to listen to Zhang Hao's words, leaned his head on Zhang Hao's shoulder and said: "I listen to you, what is the name of the first project?"

"The copyright of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has been negotiated, but the starring lineup needs to be carefully considered, and we should also sign newcomers to our company's artist department." Zhang Hao said.

"Don't worry, the project is messed up anyway, I'll rely on you to support me." Da Mimi smiled mischievously.

While the talks between Big Scissors and Warner Pictures were flying all over the sky, another unobtrusive thing happened, that is, Haotian Studio was officially reorganized into an official film and television production company.

The reorganized company is called Tianmi Film and Television Production Company. Its main business is the production and distribution of movies and TV shows, as well as artist management, variety show production and so on.

The latter two are just extras. After all, although Zhang Hao knew some popular variety shows in his previous life, he didn't know how to make them, and he didn't like to watch variety shows.

In terms of artist management, currently Tianmi Company only has two artists, Da Mimi and Zhou Yutong.Although Cai Runping has already planned to find potential newcomers to sign, but there are no newcomers worthy of attention.

Although the company has been established, Zhang Hao still insists on the win-win cooperation route and continues to deepen cooperation with Bona Films, Huayi, Wanda Films and other companies.

Even in the future, Zhang Hao plans to cooperate with Internet giants such as Penguin Pictures.

Why do you say that?It is because the expansion of the entire industrial chain is inseparable from the promotion of large capital and Internet giants.

The income of a movie is not limited to the movie box office itself, but also many peripherals, such as derivative series, games, animation, theme parks, books and so on.

None of these peripheral industries can be promoted by Zhang Hao with the strength of his own company.

Even if it can be pushed, it will take a lot of effort and face many unimaginable difficulties.

Therefore, it is feasible and the only way to find other companies and large-scale capital cooperation.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity that "The Wandering Earth" would only earn box office revenue while giving up such a large and vast market around it?

The "Wandering Earth" series can completely match the "Harry Potter" series, and the little wizard has created a huge value of hundreds of billions of dollars in production value.

The "Wandering Earth" series does not need to create an output value of [-] billion U.S. dollars, but it is enough to create an output value of [-] billion U.S. dollars.

If there is no comparison, then compared to the famous "Star Wars" series, "The Wandering Earth" has the potential to become China's "Star Wars".

Thinking of these, Zhang Hao felt very excited.

But the bright future is bright, and the road still needs to be taken step by step.

Just like the teacher played by Uncle Ge in "Let the Bullets Fly" said: "I thought that food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step. If you take big steps, you will easily fall into trouble."

Therefore, Zhang Hao needs to break away from the beautiful fantasy, focus on reality, and cultivate talents step by step for the beautiful fantasy.

It is estimated that among all filmmakers in China, there are only two people who can think this way, one is Zhang Hao himself, and the other is Da Mimi. After all, Zhang Hao talks about those beautiful visions all day long.

The other half is Guo Fan. In the future without Zhang Hao's participation, he is doing these things.

"Butterfly Effect" has entered the post-production stage, and the film has also clearly planned a release schedule, which is scheduled for August this year.

However, as a director, Zhang Hao may not be able to participate in the publicity work, and can only let the actors promote under the organization of the distributor.

However, before the announcement of "The Butterfly Effect", Zhang Hao still needs to lead "The Undertaker" to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Counting the Golden Horse Awards, this is also the last awards trip for the movie "The Undertaker".

This time it was still Zhang Hao, Da Mi Mi and Andy Zhou Xun who attended together. After the "Butterfly Effect" wrap-up meal, Zhang Hao and Andy met on Hong Kong Island and departed for Cannes from Hong Kong Island.

By the way, Zhang Hao also gave the script of "Wu Shuang" to Mak Siu Fai and Zhuang Wenqiang.

The two directors immediately decided to postpone the filming of "Eavesdropping 3" as if they had found a treasure, and made every effort to prepare for this Wushuang. By the way, Hua Tsai also joined this high-IQ crime film.

Zhang Hao silently said sorry to Fa Ge and Guo Tianwang again, he didn't mean it.

After negotiating these matters, a group of four including the accompanying team embarked on a trip to the Cannes Film Festival.

Zhang Hao attaches great importance to the Cannes Film Festival, because Chen Gezi once won the Palme d'Or, and he is the only domestic director to win this award.

Chen Gezi hasn't come out for a long time, and he seldom writes poems. It seems that he no longer confronts Zhang Hao.

But Zhang Hao did not forget the two of them, as well as the kindness and resentment with Mrs. Chen.

A lot of news came from Ma Qiang's private detectives. They found a lot of evidence about the celebration banquet and the accident that happened to the crew, all pointing to Mrs. Chen.

Now there is almost the key evidence. If found, Zhang Hao will formally submit it to the police uncle and sue Chen Gezi and his wife.

Things have to be resolved, and the conflicts between everyone cannot be resolved. It is impossible for Zhang Hao to feel at ease in the same circle as Chen Gezi and his wife like a normal person.

Who knows what other tricks the couple have, Zhang Hao doesn't want to be on guard against these two people all the time.

Attack is the best defense, so Zhang Hao can feel at ease by striking first and knocking down the couple directly.
