King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 288 Yu Hao was stunned by Anne Hathaway

Harvey also helped and said: "Yes, Yu, my friend, this is your first time filming a horror film. I think you have a lot of burden and pressure on your heart. If Mr. Jack helps you, your pressure will be much less."

Let me solemnly introduce that the person next to me is one of the shareholders of Warner. Warner is the property of Mr. Jack and his family. I, you, think about it carefully. "

Yu Hao shook his head and chuckled: "Jack, Harvey, it's boring if you say that. First of all, I'm not looking for you to invest. I'm just here to have a chat with you at your invitation, Harvey.

In addition, don’t forget, I am the boss of the largest film company in China. I usually invest in my movies. The TV series I shot before were also exported to Japan and South Korea, and the ratings were very good. Do you think I am short of money? ?

Is $200 million a lot? Although I haven’t been out for a long time, I haven’t paid much attention to it yet. "

After saying that, he crossed his legs very comfortably. Chen Fan wisely took out a box of cigars, opened them himself, cut them, and lit them for Yu Hao.

Yu Hao took a sip and said to the two of them: "Want to come together?"

Both of them looked aggrieved. They thought that Yu Hao would be like those directors who had just come to Hollywood to develop. They only had awards and a little fame, but lacked investment. They didn't expect that Yu Hao would be a different kind.

Jack glared at Harvey fiercely, secretly blaming Harvey for not telling him clearly and making him make such a big mistake.

Harvey shrugged awkwardly, he really didn't know much about Yu Hao.

After Jack looked at the cigar in his hand, he raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "It seems that you have indeed made a lot of money, Yu. We thought wrong. Let's do this. I will give you 100 million US dollars, accounting for 60% of the dividends." ,

I will arrange everything for you on the crew. Of course, we will never let go of the editing rights. This is a Hollywood rule. My friend, you should understand me, right? "

Yu Hao shook his head and smiled: "We are all businessmen, why should we do this? Since Mr. Jack is not sincere, I won't force him. I believe many companies will have the idea of ​​​​cooperating with me, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, he stood up and started to sort out his clothes.

Jack also stood up, held the cigar and squinted at it for a while before laughing and saying, "I wonder how much dividends you can take out, Yu?"

Yu Hao chuckled and said: "For an investment of US$50, the maximum dividend is 10%."

Jack raised his index finger and smiled: "Yu, this is not okay. You will have no friends in Hollywood, at least 30%."

Yu Qing shrugged and smiled: "Jack, I'm really not short of money, and I'm not short of anything else. In that case, let's talk about distribution. I highly approve of Warner's global distribution."

The six major Hollywood publishers have impressive global distribution capabilities, which cannot be matched by other independent publishers.

Jack frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "Yu, I think the idea of ​​your script is very interesting, and it can be made into a series. Let's talk about it, okay?"

Yu Hao chuckled and said, "Okay, but I can find the actors myself. I am the director. There will be no shortage of extras if they want to come to Hollywood. As for distribution, there will be no shortage. It's just that the more they earn, the less they earn."

Jack said with a serious face: "Yu, you should be missing an ally. When you first arrive in Hollywood, if you don't have a strong partner, you will suffer a lot and make very little money. Our capabilities at Warner are limited." No need for me to say more, right?"

Yu Hao asked: "Then why should I look for you? I think other companies won't be stingy about cooperating with me, right?"

Jack chuckled and said: "I own part of Warner's inheritance rights. What I can do, other company leaders can't do. They should not be as capable as me."

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Indeed, but what does it have to do with our cooperation?"

Jack laughed and said: "It's very relevant. According to the analysis of Warner's marketing director, China will definitely become one of the world's largest movie ticket warehouses in the future. The results of your movies have proven our judgment."

Yu Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, how will this be judged?"

Jack said seriously: "Because China has the largest population in the world and its economic development has been good in recent years, China is likely to become one of the largest vote banks in the world.

But it is impossible and unrealistic for us to develop on a large scale in the other country, so we need cooperation. You know our strength in Hollywood, and we at Warner are optimistic about your abilities. "

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Warner is so big, do you still need my cooperation?"

Jack squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then do you know that if you cooperated with Warner at that time, your box office could be at least half more?"

Yu Hao shook his head and said: "Unlikely."

Jack smiled meaningfully and said: "Only our six major companies in Hollywood have distribution rights in North America and Canada, and they are all divided into ladders, so do you understand?"

Yu Hao said thoughtfully: "I kind of understand, but Sony is probably more suitable than me, but haven't they also developed?"

Jack smiled and said: "It's not the same. Let's do this. We'll talk about this later after we finish our cooperation. This time we jointly invest, Warner invests 50 and gets a 20% dividend.

We will leave the editing rights to you this time, but we will make reasonable arrangements for the producer and finance. We will calculate the distribution costs separately after the filming is completed.

We will help you contact the filming location, extras, and supporting actors. In addition, one of the leading actors must be the person we designate. This is our bottom line. "

Yu Hao thought for a while and then nodded and said, "Okay."

Jack stood up and held Yu Hao's hand and said, "Then I wish us a happy first cooperation. The crew will contact you as soon as possible, and we will arrange for someone to sign the contract."

Yu Hao also stood up, shook hands and replied, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

When Harvey left, he gave Yu Hao a thumbs up. This was the first time he had seen Jack frustrated, and in the end he could only hold his nose and accept the operation.

After agreeing on the cooperation, Yu Hao began to search for suitable actors non-stop.

The most important actors in this movie are the four actors, Jigsaw-John, one of the victims-Adam, Jigsaw's doctor-Dr. Lawrence, Lawrence's wife, and the others are unimportant supporting roles.

In the hotel room, Yu Hao, Sun Cheng, and Xu Qing were having a meeting and chatting.

Sun Cheng suggested: "Director Yu, do you want big-name actors for the four leading actors? It is said that the salaries are quite high."

Xu Qing said melancholy: "Yes, as far as I know, the salary of super first-line actors is 2000 million + 10% dividend, and the salary of first-line actors is 1500 million to 2000 million.

The second-tier cast is 800 million to 1500 million, and the third-tier cast is 100 million to 800 million. They are all priced in US dollars. Our total investment is only 200 million US dollars. Not to mention the second-tier actors, even the lowest third-tier actors cannot afford to hire them. Otherwise, the production The fee will be much less. "

Yu Hao thought for a while and said: "I still have to try, but since it is my movie, I'd better find a Chinese actor for the male lead. Let's look for mainland actors when the time is right."

Sun Cheng's eyes lit up and he said: "Director Yu, Zun Long is more suitable. He has a good figure and good acting skills. If it weren't for being Chinese, he would have won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and his reputation is not bad.

In addition, the most important thing is that this person has always been very patriotic and has expressed this concept more than once. "

Yu Hao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Okay, let's get in touch."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "He seems to be in Xiangjiang. I'll have someone contact him. It should be fine. By the way, I'm going back to China too. Uncle Yu's "The Swordsman" is about to start filming. I, the heroine, can't do it without me." ." Yu Hao said with a smile: "Okay, if I bring my crew over, we will probably start work in less than a week."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, how do you solve the remuneration problem? Do you want to increase investment?"

Yu Hao rubbed his chin and said: "Don't worry, I will spend up to one million yuan in salary in the early stage, and I will give them the rest after it is released. The contract can be signed by then. With Warner's brand here, there should be no big problem." .”

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I've also checked out the venue for you. I've arranged a basement according to your requirements. Everything else has been arranged. I'll ask Zhang Li to come over and help you later."

Yu Hao said with emotion: "I would really not be able to adapt to leaving you."

Xu Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "I am no different than me, aren't you doing a great job?"

After lingering with Xu Qing for a night, Xu Qing left the next day, and Yu Hao also started looking for a suitable actor.

"Hello, I'm Yu Hao. I'd like to make a movie with you. It's a horror movie. The salary is easy to negotiate."

"Sorry, I don't like making horror movies."

"Sorry, I already have a schedule, so I can't leave."

…………

Yu Hao listened to the blind tone on the phone helplessly. He thought that with the money and a bit of fame, it would be easy to find actors, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Warner's producer smiled and said: "Yu, do you want us to contact you? You are a complete newcomer in Hollywood, you are like this."

Yu Hao shook his head and said, "Just wait."

Zunlong's arrival made Yu Hao breathe a sigh of relief.

After the two met, they looked at each other's appearance and fell into silence. After a long time, Zunlong said with emotion: "Director Yu, I have admired your name for a long time, but I didn't expect that the two of us are so destined."

Yu Hao chuckled and said: "Most of the excellent ones have similar looks, but the tacky ones all have their own differences."

Zunlong smiled and said: "I am very happy to cooperate with you. I was preparing to return to China for development. I didn't expect to receive a call from you. All my houses in Hollywood were sold."

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Uncle Long, even if we leave, we should leave once we have achieved success and fame. This is not a good thing now. Are you interested in joining me to join forces in Hollywood?"

Looking at the confident man opposite him, Zunlong felt a little dazed, remembering his high-spirited self back then, but the young man opposite him was more talented and handsome than him.

So he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Then I will leave the rest of my life to Director Yu."

Yu Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I promise you won't disappoint Uncle Long. This is a horror movie. The role of Uncle Long is Jigsaw, the male protagonist of this series of movies - John..."

Zunlong listened and read the script. After reading it, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then opened his eyes and said seriously:

"The script is good. With Director Yu's talent, it will not be difficult for this film to knock on the door of Hollywood. My salary can be less, maybe US$10."

Yu Hao shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Long, you don't have to be like this. You are the light of our Chinese actors in Hollywood. 10 is less.

Let's do this, 10 + 90. When the movie becomes famous, we will slowly increase Uncle Long's salary. I hope Uncle Long doesn't mind. This movie is a collaboration between our company and Warner, so Uncle Long doesn't have to worry about the salary. "

Zunlong looked stunned. He originally just wanted to help, but he didn't expect Yu Hao to think so highly of him. His repeated refusals could not stop Yu Hao's enthusiasm.

The most important thing is Yu Hao's last words: "Uncle Long, after receiving my salary of 100 million US dollars, you have to show your acting skills when you were nominated for the Golden Globe Award, otherwise you will only be paid as a third-tier Hollywood actor in the future."

Zunlong took a deep breath, patted his chest and said, "I promise there will be no problem."

The person arranged by Warner also sent it over. The person in charge of Warner said to Yu Hao: "Yu, this is Mark Ruffalo. I think he should be very suitable for the Dr. Lawrence in your movie."

Looking at the curly hair opposite him, Yu Hao felt inexplicably familiar. Then, he raised his eyebrows. Isn't this the Hulk from Avengers? No wonder it looks familiar.

Mark Ruffalo stretched out his hand and smiled shyly: "Hello Yu, I have made a movie with your Chinese director Li An. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant."

Yu Hao stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

Mark Ruffalo's salary was not high, only US$20, which was within Yu Hao's psychological tolerance.

I contacted several candidates for Dr. Lawrence's wife, but none were suitable. When I was upset, a young girl with wavy hair, delicate face, and graceful figure walked in.

After entering the door, he looked at Yu Hao who was smoking with his head lowered. His eyes were shining, his seductive red lips were licked unconsciously, and his hands were intertwined helplessly.

Then, he took a deep breath and lightly opened his red lips: "Hello, Director Yu, I am Anne Hathaway, here to audition for the female role in your movie."

After saying that, he looked at Yu Hao nervously.

Although she had previously filmed "Get Real" with the well-known Hollywood actor Jesse Eisenberg, it not only brought her a lot of inspiration and help, but not only that, it also brought her the Best Performance Award.

However, the handsome young man opposite is not a simple character. Although she is just coming to Hollywood for the first time, whether it is the recently popular "The Great Tang" or the Golden Bear Award, she is very excited.

Yu Hao was confused when he heard Anne Hathaway. He looked up and saw the young girl opposite.

Immediately, I was a little surprised by the yellow and messy hair, the skin that could be broken by blowing, the red lips with the alluring light, and further down, the swan-like neck, oh, the strong headlights, Wonderful figure.

When he saw her for the first time, Yu Hao had only one thought in his mind - he was lucky to have her, and he had no other thoughts.

When Anne Hathaway met Yu Hao's eyes, her cheeks couldn't help but turn red, her heart kept beating, and there was a little deer jumping in her heart.

Yu Hao put down the cigar in his hand very gentlemanly and smiled at Anne Hathaway: "Hello, Miss Anne, I am Yu Hao. Do you know this is a horror movie? For a beauty like you to play such a role, Are you mentally prepared?"
