Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office
Chapter 3 Meeting with the producer, I want to be the director
Chapter 3 Meeting with the producer, I want to be the director
The next day.
Universal Studios headquarters, outside the gate.
The company's LOGO is a globe with a string of English in the middle: UNIVERSAL.
Qin Feng wore a black suit, looked extraordinarily tall and tall, and held a briefcase in his hand.
A tall, blond and blue-eyed female assistant was already waiting at the door. She looked at the time and then at the Asian young man walking over.
She was a little unsure, "Hello, sir, is your name Qin Feng?"
"I am." Qin Feng kept smiling.
She quickly reached out her hand and said, "Hello, I am Yali, manager Kennedy's assistant."
Qin Feng reached out and shook hands.
"Please come with me." Yali led the way.
Qin Feng followed behind and watched secretly.
Universal Pictures is indeed one of the eight major film companies in the United States. Its headquarters is extremely majestic, with a wide steel structure hall on the first floor.
After a while, I arrived at Katherine Kennedy's office.
Kennedy was also surprised. He looked at the handsome Asian young man in front of him and said quickly: "Please sit down, Mr. Qin Feng, you and I were on the phone yesterday."
"Nice to meet you." Qin Feng smiled and nodded.
Kennedy asked her assistant to pour the coffee and then asked her to call David Kepp over.
Kennedy asked: "Mr. Qin, did you write yesterday's Jurassic script yourself?"
"Yes, and I wrote it that day. I will send it to you after I finish it."
"what?!"
Kennedy and Cape were startled.
Written that day?
A wonderful science fiction drama was actually written on the same day.
It's amazing, isn't it?
The two looked at each other.
Qin Feng smiled: "What's wrong? Manager Kennedy, Mr. Cape, don't you believe it?"
"It's unbelievable!" Cape said hurriedly, "I have been a screenwriter for 20 years, and I have never completed a script in one day."
Kennedy asked curiously: "Mr. Qin, I don't know the plot behind it. Have you finished writing it?"
"It's all over."
Qin Feng took out two stacks of manuscript paper from his briefcase. He had printed two copies and handed them over to them respectively.
"Okay, please wait a moment, we need to take a look."
Kennedy and Kepp looked at the script.
The protagonist's family keeps escaping in the park, and carnivorous dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor appear one after another.
At the end of the story, the protagonists leave the thrilling Jurassic Park by helicopter, but the dinosaurs on the island are still alive and the crisis has not been resolved. This is obviously a foreshadowing.
Qin Feng drank coffee slowly and paid careful attention to their expressions when they read the script.
After 10 minutes, the two of them finished reading.
Kennedy was still not finished, and after a while he said: "Mr. Qin, let's talk about cooperation. To be honest, this script is very exciting, and we at Universal Pictures are ready to invest."
"Thank you for your affirmation."
"I don't know what you have in mind. Are you going to buy it out or share it?"
"If you buy it out, we will pay you 120 million meters in one lump sum."
"In terms of sharing, we will pay you 10 in advance, and when it is released later, you will receive 5% of the company's net income share. Note, it is the company's net income."
Qin Feng had learned about some of the rules of the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild, and the price offered by the other party was very sincere.
Kai Pu on the side said: "Qin Feng, believe me, I am a screenwriter myself. 120 million meters of gold is indeed a sky-high price at this stage."
Qin Feng smiled, although the buyout price was high, this movie has reached a very high level after it was released in the previous life.
The global box office exceeded 10 billion US dollars!
Of course I want to share it.
Only a fool would buy it out!
Seeing that Qin Feng remained silent, Kennedy said: "Mr. Qin, the buyout proposal is very good. If you are in urgent need of money now..."
Qin Feng smiled and said: "Manager Kennedy, I have a request, and I hope you will consider it."
"Oh, you said." "As for the contract, I chose to take a share of the contract. That's because I had a premonition that the movie's box office would reach a very high level."
"My other request is, can you let me direct this movie?"
"I personally like this script very much. Although it was written in one day, it has been conceived for many years. In addition, I am a film director in China."
After hearing this, Kennedy and Kepp were stunned!
"What!! Mr. Qin, are you going to direct??"
"Did I hear you correctly? Are you still a director?"
This young man has a really big appetite!
Kepp stared at him, "Mr. Qin, may I ask what films you have directed in China?"
"This is..."
Qin Feng scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
So far, I have directed only one completed film, and it ended in failure.
"Uh... I did direct movies, but to be honest, they were not very successful."
Kennedy said: "Mr. Qin, the directors here have strict responsibilities and arrangements. Not every new director can direct the company's key projects."
"I hope you can understand that sometimes new directors need to start with experimental or niche films, which requires a process."
"Is that so..."
The conversation was temporarily deadlocked.
Jingle Bell……
At this time, Qin Feng's phone rang.
"It's okay, just take it and I'll get you a cup of coffee." Kennedy stood up.
Qin Feng answered the phone.
The call was so loud that both Kennedys could hear it.
"Hello! Hello Mr. Qin Feng, I am Yasef, the project manager of Warner Bros. Pictures."
"Oh hello."
Kennedy slowed his pace.
"We have received your script. Do you have time now? I will go over to you and let's talk in person."
"Uh... now, sorry, I have something to do right now. I'll contact you when I'm done."
"That's too unfortunate. You go ahead and I'll wait for your call. Bye."
"Bye-Bye."
Qin Feng hung up the phone and smiled awkwardly.
Kepp thought thoughtfully: "...How many companies did Mr. Qin's script go to?"
Qin Feng did not hide anything, "Three companies, you, Warner Brothers, and Fox."
"Yes, they are all big companies. Mr. Qin is really confident in his script!"
Qin Feng was about to say something when the phone rang again.
When I looked down, it was still an unfamiliar number.
He hung up the phone and set his phone to silent.
"Sorry, I won't answer."
Kennedy took the coffee and returned to his seat, looking at him sincerely, "Mr. Qin, I know your script is excellent. Regarding the script, there is no problem with the sharing contract."
"As for the director... it's really hard for us to accept. I also believe that other film companies will not choose to let a new director direct this film."
"After all, the production cost of a science fiction film of this level is not a small amount."
Qin Feng touched his nose.
It seems that it is not an easy task to direct a movie independently in Hollywood.
"Okay... Manager Kennedy."
"However, I have another idea..."
"Don't worry, this is a compromise plan."
