China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

At the same time, Gao Fei, who escaped halfway from the road show, did not disappoint Han Li.

After returning to Beijing, he did not immediately find "The Great Wall" which he was most interested in. Instead, he took the lead in finding Fang Xinli Media, the producer of "Taoist Descending the Mountain", which was first excluded by him.

It is said that Sony Media can be regarded as a cutting-edge force in the film and television industry today.

Although the company was established in 2007, it also made several good TV series in the early days.

But it was not until 2010 that Sony Media officially entered the film industry.

It's just that Lao Cao, the founder of Sony Media, wants Big Dog to be more cautious.

After participating in the two phenomenal works of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" and "33 Days of Broken Love", I just started trying to manage independent film projects.

Only after several failures, Lao Cao found that the cost of trial and error for a new director was too high.

At least with his vision and film level, he can't play this high-end "Zhouyi mode".

That's why I hooked up with Poet Chen, wanting to learn the way of Huayi, and bind Poet Chen, the great director.

So when Gao Fei met Lao Cao, Poet Chen and his wife Chen Hong were also present.

After all, the producer of "Taoist Down the Mountain" is Chen Hong.

It has to be said that Sony Media was sincere enough to win Poet Chen over this time.

You must know that according to industry practice, the producers of such film projects are generally the bosses of film and television companies.

Where is it like Sony Media, which doesn't even do a little bit of restraint, and completely delegates power to the director!
Of course, from the director's point of view, he naturally prefers such a partner.

At least according to Gao Fei's observation, the relationship between Poet Chen and Sony Media is quite harmonious.

As for Gao Fei's initiative to visit, Lao Cao, Chen Poet and Chen Hong were obviously quite happy.

They thought that Gao Fei was really interested in the project "Taoist Descending the Mountain".

For this reason, Poet Chen also recalled with Gao Fei the past when he auditioned for "Mei Lanfang" with emotion.

He even criticized himself jokingly, saying that missing Goofy was his biggest mistake.

In fact, the difference in many people's impressions is that Poet Chen is not so cold in reality.

It doesn't matter whether he is hypocritical or Wenqing, but that is the attitude towards his peers.

Once faced with a billionaire in the film and television industry like Gao Fei, Chen Poet is not aloof at all.

But in order to avoid the topic from falling into a more embarrassing situation.

Gao Fei hurriedly explained clearly the purpose of his visit before they opened their mouths, which made the three of them a little disappointed.

They never expected that Gao Fei came here to help "Digital Domain" solicit business.

This... This is simply overkill!
However, "Taoist Descending the Mountain" does have a lot of special effects for film and television. Before Chen Hong and Poet Chen could open their mouths, Lao Cao took the lead in agreeing.

After all, Sony Media is a newcomer in the film industry after all.

Therefore, building a good relationship with an industry giant like Zhou Yi is an essential link.

Of course, Gao Fei didn't take advantage of it for nothing, but proposed a win-win solution:
That is, I can lend my name to the crew of "Taoist Down the Mountain".

Before the final cast is determined, Zhou Yi can cooperate with the crew of "Taoist Down the Mountain" to create a hype.

Seeing what Gao Fei said, a smile appeared on Poet Chen's face. He thought that Gao Fei still respected him after all, so he didn't raise any objections.

After finishing the production of "Taoist Descending the Mountain", Gao Fei found Lao Mouzi.

It's just that it's obviously not the right time for Gao Fei to come here.

When Gao Fei arrived at Legendary Pictures' office in Huaxia, the quarrel in the office was coming to an end.

Under the pressure of Hollywood investors, Lao Mouzi finally gave up his original idea.

No longer trying to use the real historical situation as a template to connect the entire story together, but re-creating the second draft of the script with the idea of ​​​​Legendary Pictures as the core.

However, when Gao Fei heard about this decision, he immediately resolutely stopped talking about audition and investment.

Even though Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull offered a high price of 1500 million US dollars, Goofy still declined.

Because after Lao Mouzi's original idea was eliminated, this far-fetched book is completely inconsistent in terms of plot logic...at least it doesn't look like a movie.

So let alone 1500 million US dollars, even if it is 2000 million US dollars, Gao Fei will not consider it!

After all, he hasn't mixed up to the level of Nicolas Cage - he knows it's a bad movie, but he still bites the bullet and acts in it for the money!

……

"Forget it, Mr. Thomas, let's talk about special effects!"

Gao Fei transformed himself into a salesman of "Digital Domain" to start business for his company.

Seeing this situation, Thomas Tull could only shake his head regretfully.

You must know that the idea of ​​inviting Gao Fei to star in "The Great Wall" was proposed by him.

Thomas had had the idea even before Lao Mouzi became the director of The Great Wall.

In the beginning, Thomas Tull only thought Goofy was an actor.

At best, they are the kind of Chinese actors who are somewhat well-known in the international film industry.

But when Legendary Pictures officially launched the "Great Wall" project, Thomas Tull realized that he hadn't been here for just a few years, and the pattern of China's film and television industry had changed drastically.

Huayi, once the number one in the industry, was replaced by a company bought by an actor.

This made Thomas Tull almost think that the staff was joking with him.

But after reading Gao Fei's resume in detail, he was completely shocked.

We must know that today is not the era when the film was first invented.

And even in the wild era of movies, Chaplin was only one of the founders of United Artists.

Therefore, the story of a young actor with no background turning himself into a film and television giant through his own efforts is too legendary for Thomas Tull.

If it were in North America, Gao Fei would definitely become the idol of all actors and young people!

Of course, if it was in Hollywood, this kind of thing would never happen.

Two people like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are the best examples.

The two of them are considered the most successful producers among Hollywood superstars.

The Plan B entertainment company and the Cruise-Wagner production company under the two have produced many classic Hollywood movies, some of which even won Oscars.

But even so, the two of them are still unable to shake the status of the top six in Hollywood, not even the slightest possibility of shaking.

Because the structure of Hollywood's Big Six has been fixed, unless it is suppressed by a stronger force, otherwise it is a fool's dream to turn around with a small gain and a counterattack!
So while being shocked, Thomas Tull could only feel that Huayi's dominance was too rubbish, which allowed a rising star to counterattack the top position.

But then again, it was because Gao Fei’s experience was so legendary that Thomas Tull only wanted to pull him on the big ship of "The Great Wall".

But in the past, the bargaining chip he used to seduce other actors was like a child's toy in front of Gao Fei - not at all attractive!

So after repeatedly confirming that Gao Fei had no intention of doing so, Thomas Tull could only talk to Gao Fei about the special effects business.

As for the strength of "Digital Domain", Thomas Tull was naturally aware of it.

After all, who in Hollywood doesn't know that lunatic Cameron always only likes to use the best technology-if you don't have it...then develop it yourself!
Therefore, the strength of "Digital Domain" does not need Gao Fei to introduce Thomas.

So facing Gao Fei's cooperation invitation, he asked straightforwardly:

"Gao, please give me a reason to choose Digital Domain."

"Although Digital Domain's technology is excellent, Hollywood is not without it."

"After all, what you can do [Industrial Light & Magic] and [Weta Digital] can also do!"

Seeing Thomas Tull's sudden change in aura, Gao Fei was not surprised either.

"One reason is not enough, I'll give you three!"

I saw the self-confidence that the corner of his mouth slightly raised immediately:
"Shorter production cycle, more favorable price, and... stronger partners!"

"Except for Digital Domain, I believe no special effects company can do it!"

As soon as Gao Fei's arrogant words came out, Thomas was immediately stunned.

He didn't doubt whether Gao Fei was bragging, but immediately frowned slightly and became thoughtful.

He can understand the two points of "shorter production cycle and more favorable price".

After all, since the "Digital Domain" revitalized in China, many Hollywood special effects companies have broken their defenses.

Even some experts in the field of film and television special effects called "Digital Domain" the last piece of the puzzle, thinking that it greatly broadened the future of film and television special effects companies.

However, while marveling at China's special effects industry ecology, they also understand that this model cannot be replicated in North America.

For nothing else, the human cost alone is an unsolvable problem.

Therefore, since "Digital Domain" was successfully listed in the Hong Kong stock market, many European and American special effects companies are trying to imitate the "Digital Domain" model.

However, due to the fact that there are too many intermediary links, "Digital Domain" is still thriving in the special effects industry.

After a while, Thomas just looked at Gao Fei with puzzled eyes.

"I can understand the first two advantages, but what exactly is the third?"

"Gao, I need a clear answer, you know, I need to be responsible to the board!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei thought for a while, and then an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Thomas, I think you also know that I have several companies under my name."

"So if you choose Digital Domain, you're working with me."

"And proper resource replacement, this is not a problem for me at all."

"So the last advantage is actually for you, not for Legendary Pictures... Do you understand?"

Seeing what Gao Fei said, Thomas immediately showed a knowing smile.

After all, he is too familiar with the operation of claiming expenses for fictitious projects.

It's just that he used this trick to trick those upstarts from Silicon Valley in the past.

Of course, it is impossible to count how clean and honest he is as a CEO.

It's just that the technique is more secretive, after all, the difficulty of the two is completely different.

So Thomas smiled and stretched out his hands to Gao Fei with a wrinkled face and said:
"I knew that the strength of Digital Domain is always trustworthy!

"Then... happy cooperation!"

"Hahaha~ happy cooperation!"

Gao Fei laughed happily when he heard the words.

……

Early the next morning, on the road show.

When Han Li saw the announcements released one after another by the crew of "Taoist Down the Mountain" and "The Great Wall", she shook her head speechlessly.

She knew that the boss's accident was always worthy of trust!

Although I don't know how Gao Fei persuaded those two companies, since those two announcements were released, Gao Fei's name is almost on the screen.

Whether it's TV media, print media magazines, or online forums, almost everyone is talking about the two big directors robbing actors.

Some of them were contacted in advance, but most of the media reported on their own initiative.

After all, such news itself is enough to attract the attention of readers, and it has to be reported without spending money.

There are even some good people on the Internet who gave this incident the title of "two women take husband", which really made many people laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.

It's just that the attention of the audience is limited, and the layout of the media is even more limited.

Therefore, when Gao Fei occupied the public's attention, the attention of "The Breakup Master" and "The Future" was naturally distracted.

When Gao Fei is mentioned, the audience thinks of the upcoming "Predecessor Raiders".

For a while, many viewers became very interested in Gao Fei's self-directed and self-acted autobiographical film.

Although, he refuses to admit that this is an autobiographical movie!
It can be said that Gao Fei's show operation this time has completely exceeded the publicity effect of the movie road show.

It made Deng Chao and Han Han want to cry without tears.

After all, they can't imitate this operation at all!

Even if Feng Xiaogang is willing to put aside his suspicions and help Deng Chao, he still can't find another great director to cooperate with!
Deng Chao was so angry that he called Gao Fei during the road show, complaining that he was too ungrateful for martial arts.

Obviously it was just a competition of cross-border directors, but he brought in two great directors to help out.

Dirty, the means are too dirty, no wonder you can be so rich!

Gao Fei just smiled and didn't say anything, after all, this is where it is!
Deng Chao only saw the outcome of the announcement war during the summer vacation, but he didn't know that with the release of those two announcements, Gao Fei's net worth increased by several hundred million.

You must know that although participating in the show is just a pretext for hype, the announcements of the two crews clearly stated that they will cooperate with Digital Domain in the special effects business.

So when the two announcements were released, Digital Domain's share price rose immediately.

Especially when Thomas Tull publicly stated that he would invest 1.5-2 million US dollars in the special effects blockbuster "The Great Wall", the stock price of Digital Domain rose even more violently.

It can be said that this wave of high flying is a win-win situation in various senses! ! !

Of course, the crews of "The Great Wall" and "Taoist Down the Mountain" did not suffer this wave.

After all, they warmed up the movie in advance, and Thomas also made some extra money by the way.

Therefore, in this cooperation, there are no losers, all winners...
