Chapter 396 Opening champagne at halftime?

"Of course," Zhou Xingxing nodded as he should, "the Chaoji Sect has only one teacher."

"Xingxing, you are dishonest." Zhang Hong said, "If you had told your sister earlier that the script was a daydream investment, there would not have been so many things."

"Then I'll send you the script. Regarding the remuneration..."

Before Zhou Xingxing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Hong, "Since Teacher Zhang took the initiative to cut his salary to join, our family Yan will definitely consider it as appropriate."

The salary is not the key, the key is that he and Yan Yazhang star in the film, and they are also two female leads, not a proper star. Zhang Hong can't wait.

Taking a step back, Daydream Pictures has never lost money on any of its productions. People in the industry call Chu Yuan the "Queen of Stamps," which means that she can make money from any film she stamps.

"Uh - thank you, Sister Hong." Zhou Xingxing took the investment from Daydream Pictures. He originally wanted to say that the funds were enough, but he asked Jiayan to pay the market price.

But that's all Sister Hong said, so Zhou Xingxing just went with the flow and saved as much as possible.

The reason why Zhang Shishi has to reduce her salary is because of sufficient funds. This is just because of the regulations - "The 70th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Chinese TV Dramas and Films", which stipulates that the lead actor's salary must not exceed [-]% of the total salary.

In addition, Zhang Shishi said that she would join "The King of Comedy", not because she was optimistic about whether the script could make money, but simply because she wanted to repay Huang Baiyou's favor.

In fact, both Zhang Shishi and her agent judged that the theatrical box office of "The King of Comedy" would not be high.

Two flowers bloom, one on each branch. After talking about domestic flowers, we continue to talk about foreign flowers.

"My friends, this is the good wine I got from my friends." David returned to the set with a bottle of red wine.

"The 82 Latour is indeed a good wine." Tan Xing took a look at the wine.

David's movements revealed his mood. He took off his dome hat with some joy and began to play with the red wine. He also brought his own decanter and goblet.

There are four people in the lounge at the moment, producer Qin Xing, director Joseph, art director Akhmet and the on-site director.

The status of art directors in Hollywood is far higher than that of domestic art directors. The Oscars have special awards, but the domestic Golden Rooster Awards do not.

This should have nothing to do with the development of the film industry, but a cultural difference between China and the West. Most domestic film aesthetics are determined by the director's will.

The Western emphasis on aesthetics is like the Eastern emphasis on photography. Awards such as the Oscars and the Golden Globes do not have a "Best Cinematography" category, because in foreign countries, how to arrange the shots and what filters to use are basically the director's will, while in China, the three gold medals all have Best Cinematography.

"It took a lot of effort to buy it." David raised his glass, "Here's to you all."

They all raised their glasses. Tan Xing had work to do in the afternoon, so he took a casual sip, while Ahmet wanted another glass after finishing his drink. There was free wine, so he definitely wanted to drink more.

"Mr. Joseph is a very good director, and Batman will definitely be another peak after The Wolfman."

"Mr. Qin is one of the best producers I have ever seen. His vision is like a laser in the operating room. He can spot actors very accurately."

"...Together, we will definitely be able to create a wonderful work."

Boasting in groups, David also boasted in groups. I came to Chicago this time to represent Lionsgate Pictures. If it is true as stated in the demonstrations, it is definitely impossible to change the actors. After all, it has been filming for a month, and Huang Baiyou also brought money to join the cast.

All we can say is that if it doesn’t work - then Lionsgate Pictures will have to cut its losses in time and announce a downgrade at a later stage.

"There are good producers, good actors, and a group of good cast and crew, so it will definitely be successful." If it were before, Joseph would put the actor's position last.

Ahmet said nothing and continued to drink, murmuring in his heart. Since he was so satisfied, why not invite the client Huang Baiyou over for a drink?

It's not because Huang Baiyou is not well-known in Hollywood.

"It also requires the full support of Lionsgate Pictures to make the film successful," Qin Xing said, "especially during the film promotion stage."             Don't worry, Lionsgate's father is just a child.   David said with a smile.

David sounded confused, but he was actually saying that Lionsgate had been acquired by Hasbro.

That's right, it's that world-famous toy company.

"Then please ask Mr. David to provide more resources." Qin Xing said.

"Good works must be vigorously promoted, so that we can achieve a win-win situation."

David has seen too many storms in Hollywood. He is a professional and usually does not open the champagne at halftime, but now he opens the champagne before the show.

The clown played by a Chinese was so successful that onlookers saw the maniacal charm of a villain, while the actor opposite him was so frightened that his legs trembled.

The next day.

As soon as Qin Xing finished his morning run, he received a call from David.

"I checked out the room. The company is also very busy, so I won't stay in Chicago any longer. The crew is also very busy, so I won't bother Mr. Qin to see me off."

David Madden returned to the company and submitted the review report. The review result was A, indicating that secondary publicity resources could be used.

Don't think that second-level films are bad. First-level resources are only available to films invested by Lionsgate. Second-level films invested in them are the ceiling.

Without the last obstacle, the filming of "The Dark Knight" went smoothly, even if Paramount occasionally encouraged the navy to "take care".

After a while, rumors spread that "actor Belcom and Standing are not getting along", and "according to insiders, director Joseph filmed remotely and did not appear on the set" and other rumors spread.

"Does the navy provide a monthly subscription?" Paramount CEO Couric asked his secretary curiously.

He didn't even continue. Why have people been hacking Batman these past few months?

The secretary also shook his head in confusion, "No sir, you have told me that this kind of shady guidance is enough, and there is no need to participate all the time."

"Weird." Couric frowned. He could tell at a glance what comments were made by trolls and what were genuine comments made by netizens.

"Maybe the Batman crew also offended other people, and there are many anti-China people in the country," the secretary guessed.

It is possible that Couric no longer pays attention because he just needs the failure of "The Dark Knight" to be a fig leaf, which seems to be easy to do at the moment.

Due to months of continuous black material, netizens' impression of the new version of Batman is that it is a movie full of flaws.

Fast forward three months, entering the summer season, the crew of "The Dark Knight" was also divided into two groups: Group B went to the apron on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel to shoot, and Group A shot the last scene in the center of Central.

The reason why we are in such a hurry is that this work wants to be released during the semi-annual Christmas, and the production and post-production will be completed early.

"Huang Sang must come to Tokyo when he has time. Tanuki Aroman and I are good friends." Komatsu Satoru said in broken English.

Maybe it's not bad, it's just that Japanese English is harder to hear.

Lihuangnan, a name that is a bit strange but familiar, is a neon actor who once worked with him on "The Truman Show".

So, is there any connection between the words "I am good friends with Tanukiarao" and "I must come to Tokyo"?
