China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 877 Every step in the future requires careful planning

"Of course the box office is important."

Lin Gao smiled softly.

“But I believe that as long as the story is told well, culture can transcend national boundaries.”

His words revealed confidence and calmness.

"Chinese-language films have their own unique charm, and audiences are willing to see something different."

"Rather than the Hollywood routine that has been repeated countless times."

Lin Gao's counterattack once again silenced Paramount's top management.

They began to realize that Lin Gao was not someone who would easily compromise.

After a few minutes, the person in charge finally nodded.

"Director Lin is right. Perhaps we should be more open-minded."

“If we can find a balance that does not lose the essence of Chinese culture while being accepted by global audiences, it will be a very successful collaboration.”

Lin Gao nodded with satisfaction.

He knew that he had taken the initiative in the negotiation.

In the following period of time, the two sides began in-depth discussions on specific cooperation plans.

Lin Gao emphasized the film's creative freedom, while Paramount expressed its willingness to provide resources and technical support for global marketing.

At the end of the meeting, both parties were full of confidence in this cooperation.

"Director Lin, I hope we can finalize this cooperation soon."

The head of Paramount said with a smile, extending his hand to shake hands with Lin Gao.

Lin Gao responded with a smile.

“I also look forward to our cooperation.”

After leaving Paramount headquarters, Lin Gao and Wei Lianlian got in the car and prepared to go to the next negotiation.

"Director Lin, it was a good conversation."

Wei Lianlian said with a smile.

"It seems that they have basically accepted our conditions."

Lin Gao nodded, his expression still calm.

"We cannot take this lightly."

"The next one is Universal Pictures, which is also a top film company in the world."

"If we can maintain the initiative in the negotiations, we will have more options."

The afternoon sun shone on the car window. Lin Gao closed his eyes and adjusted his state.

He knew that the next negotiations would still be crucial.

The Universal Studios building is also located in the heart of Los Angeles. The company has many successful film projects and their influence in the global market is unquestionable.

When Lin Gao arrived, several senior managers were already waiting in the conference room.

After the two sides exchanged greetings again, they quickly got down to business.

"Director Lin, your film has performed very well in the global market."

The head of Universal Pictures spoke first.

“We have been following your work in Chinese-language films and hope to have the opportunity to work with you.”

Lin Gao smiled slightly.

He knew that Universal Pictures' opening statement was exactly the same as Paramount's.

These big companies all took a fancy to his talent and box office appeal, and wanted to attract more global audiences through cooperation.

But Lin Gao was in no hurry to respond.

He knows that the art of negotiation lies in mastering the rhythm rather than rushing to express one's opinion.

“I’m grateful to Universal Pictures for taking interest in me.”

“However, I hope that this collaboration can reflect more Chinese cultural elements.”

“It’s not just a commercial film for the world.”

Lin Gao's attitude remains firm.

He will not compromise his creative ideas to cater to the market.

Several senior executives at Universal Pictures are apparently aware of this.

They looked at each other and then smiled.

"Director Lin's ideas are very unique."

The person in charge nodded. "We are willing to respect your creative ideas."

“However, we also hope to ensure the commercial performance of the film.”

The negotiations once again reached a stalemate.

Both sides are looking for a balance.

Lin Gao knew that the outcome of this negotiation would determine his future internationalization path.

He will not give in easily, but he also understands that business and art must find a point of convergence in order to achieve greater success.

After several hours of discussion, the two sides finally reached a preliminary consensus.

Universal Pictures agreed to add more Chinese cultural elements to the film and gave Lin Gao enough creative freedom.

Lin Gao said that the film's plot and visual effects will take into account the needs of the global market to ensure that the film has sufficient commercial appeal.

At the end of the negotiations, both parties were full of expectations for this cooperation.

"Director Lin, I hope we can bring a wonderful film to audiences around the world."

The head of Universal Pictures said with a smile, extending his hand to shake hands with Lin Gao.

Lin Gao nodded and smiled, then held the other person's hand.

“I am also looking forward to this cooperation.”

When Lin Gao walked out of the Universal Studios building, night had fallen.

The streets of Los Angeles are still bustling, but Lin Gao's heart is extremely calm.

He knew that this day's negotiations was a crucial step in his internationalization process.

In the future, he will bring Chinese culture to a broader international stage.

It was almost dawn when Lin Gao finished the negotiations with the two major Hollywood film companies and returned to the hotel.

The night in Los Angeles is still brightly lit, but his inner thoughts are more complicated than the neon lights outside.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, Lin Gao looked down at the center of global film, and his plans for the future became clearer in his mind.

He knew that today's negotiations were just the beginning.

In the future, there will be more challenges waiting for him.

Lin Gao is not a person who is easily satisfied.

He knew very well that to truly gain a foothold in the international film industry, he must have a longer-term strategic plan.

He returned to his desk, opened his notebook, and began to record the key points of today's negotiations.

The smooth negotiation gave Lin Gao greater confidence, but he did not become complacent.

"Global cooperation cannot just be superficial."

“I have to find a breakthrough that can perfectly combine culture and business.”

He wrote this sentence in his notebook.

After thinking for a while, he began to list possible future cooperation directions and projects.

Lin Gao's gaze lingered on the rows of handwriting for a moment, then he nodded.

"Wei Lianlian."

He picked up the phone and dialed his assistant's number.

Although it was already late at night, he knew that Wei Lianlian must not have rested.

Sure enough, the call was answered quickly.

"Director Lin, what do you want me to do?"

Wei Lianlian's voice sounded a little tired, but still professional.

"I would like to arrange an internal meeting tomorrow morning."

Lin Gao said calmly.

“I’m going to discuss several future film projects with the team.”

"We must come up with a concrete roadmap as soon as possible."

Wei Lianlian was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Gao turned his gaze back to the window.

He knew that every step forward would require careful planning.

This is not only for his personal career, but also for the international layout of Chinese-language films.
