I’m in Hollywood

"Hello, Mr. Williams," Raymond Zou wants to show a look that is not humble, but the expression is inevitably a bit more eager: "Mr. Williams, I have seen your "dark battle" "To tell the truth, this movie is very similar to some of the styles of our Hong Kong movies. Just in the release of "Dark War" in Hong Kong is what we do, and the box office is very good."

"In fact, I have always liked Hong Kong movies very much," Eric said. "For example, Bruce Lee's several films, "Jingwumen", "Tangshan Big Brother", "The Raptors Cross the River", "Dragon Fighting", also It’s a pity that there is half of the "Death Game." In the end, Eric shook his head regretfully.

Raymond Zou heard that Eric suddenly said this, his face followed with a look of remembrance, and shook his head: "It is a pity, hey, these have been more than a decade. I still remember the first A situation of working with Bruce."

After that, Raymond Zou suddenly looked up again and looked at Eric. He said, "I remember that Mr. Williams, you are only 19 years old this year. When Bruce died, you should only be three years old. I really can’t think of it. ""

"Good movies are always good movies. Speaking of it, when I was filming in Seattle last time, I went to the graveyard of Mr. Bruce Lee. Although it has been more than ten years, there are always worlds there. Fans from all over the world go to the flowers."

Raymond Zou stunned, and the faint shame on his face flashed away. If it wasn’t for Bruce Lee, maybe he wouldn’t have today’s achievements, but when Bruce Lee was buried, he would I haven’t been to Seattle a few times: “When I’m done, I’ll go to Seattle to pay a visit.”

Eric nodded nodded. Then look at Robert Shea, who hasn’t heard much about it. He still doesn’t know what Robert meant to introduce himself.

Robert took Ai Ruila to the side in front of Raymond Zou and said, "This is the case. Last year I participated in a movie invested by Hong Kong Golden Harvest, "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." You heard that, originally The film Fox agreed to release it, but after watching the film, Fox repented."

Eric heard the words "Ninja Turtle" and soon remembered the film. Although he was not familiar with the film's past life in the United States, he knew a piece about the history of Hong Kong film. It is said that Golden Harvest's Raymond Zou has always wanted to enter Hollywood. After several small fights, Jiahe bought the right to adapt the "Ninja Turtles" to play a big one. The film Golden Harvest invested eight. Tens of dollars, in the end, earning billions of Hong Kong dollars in North America. According to the current exchange rate, one billion Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to almost 130 million US dollars, a foreign company can not be separated from Hollywood more than 100 million US dollars. Then this money is definitely the North American box office that Ninja Turtles got, and more than 100 million box office in North America, enough to squeeze into the top ten of the current box office list.

And for such a movie, Fox gave up. However, this seems to be well understood, and Fox always likes to do this kind of thing. Former Fox gave up the North American release of Titanic and sold it to Paramount for $60 million. Finally, Titanic received more than 600 million total box office in North America. Although it has been such a time, Fox did not learn the lesson, ‘redoubled efforts.’ Later, after the card’s “Avatar”, Fox worried about the risks and introduced other investors. Finally, “Avatar” broke the box office. Fox lost hundreds of millions of dollars because of this wrong decision.

Shaking his head threw out all these messy thoughts, Eric asked: "Robert. What do you think?"

Robert Shea said: "This is the case, Eric. The film has invested a total of 13 million US dollars. This is not a small amount. The new line also participated in the investment of 3 million US dollars. Now Fox refuses to issue, we can only ourselves. I have done it. I think your vision in the movie should be good, so I want you to take a look at it and help out."

“Is the copy brought?” Eric asked.

Robert Shee yelled: "No, I just brought Mr. Zou to meet you, by the way, let's go to the company tomorrow."

Eric also realized that he was in a hurry. Although his family had a personal reaction too much, even if Robert brought the copy, he would not be able to leave the hundreds of guests in the hall to leave alone, which is too rude.

"Well, I will go to the company tomorrow morning, let's take a look."

"Well, that's it," Robert said, pointing to the point: "I saw an old friend who said hello in the past."

"Be free, play with fun," Eric said with a smile. As he watched Robert leave, Eric found that Raymond had not left with Eric.

"Mr. Zou, do you have anything else?"

"No, that, Mr. Williams, you just said that you like Hong Kong movies very much. What do you think of Hong Kong movies?"

Eric took Raymond to the buffet table and took some food. Two talents came to the sofa near the floor-to-ceiling windows and saw Eric coming over. A pair of men and women who were tired of the sofa quickly made the position. come out.

When the two men walked down together, Eric said: "Mr. Zou, I think the discovery of the Hong Kong film has completely lost its rationality, giving people a sense of the last crazy before the burst."

Raymond originally wanted to talk to Eric about some excellent Hong Kong movies. The set is almost the same. If you can promote cooperation, then it would be better. I did not expect to hear Eric talk about the status quo of Hong Kong movies. After a bitter smile, Raymond said helplessly: "Everyone makes money by making money, who will think so much. But it is quite clear that Mr. Williams, this outsider, is very clear. In this case, Mr. Williams, you think Is there any solution?"

What can Eric have to do, he just said it according to the impression of the past life.

Because of various restrictions, the prospects for Hong Kong movies are almost doomed. After thinking about it, Eric immediately said: "Although I also like a lot of Hong Kong movies, I have no way to deal with this situation."

Even if there is, it will not be used now, at least until 20 years later, the mainland has completely opened up its own movie market. But at that time, it is estimated that there is no such thing as a Hong Kong film.

Raymond sighed and looked at Eric. He tempted and asked: "So, Mr. Williams, do you think we have the possibility of cooperation?" (To be continued)
