Chapter 624 Make up for the regrets of the previous life
I am not very familiar with MacLeho now. In addition, MacLeho's mission today is to meet the wealthy people in various consortiums and ZZ personnel in Hong Kong, because, I have a private chat with Yang Wendong The conversation ended after a moment.
After people leave, Bao Yugang said, "Hong Kong has changed another Hong Kong Governor, and I don't know what Hong Kong's policies will be like in the future."
"Don't worry, Bao Sheng, Hong Kong It will definitely get better and better. The UK also hopes that Hong Kong's economy can become stronger. "Yang Wendong said with a smile: "And you also know the domestic affairs. I guess the importance of Hong Kong will be further improved in the future. If you want to do it well, it will be fine. It's difficult."
In fact, no matter which Hong Kong governor comes, under the background of this era, Hong Kong will gradually become a modern city. This is the hard demand of the two five-continent countries.
Bao Yugang nodded and said, "I hope so. I have checked MacLeho's resume before, and it looks pretty good."
"I have also checked it, and I will observe it in the next few months. You will know." Yang Wendong said with a faint smile.
In fact, although I don’t like the British ghosts controlling Hong Kong very much, the few Hong Kong governors over the years are still OK. The core reason is that Britain wants to build Hong Kong into the pearl of the empire. Only the last one is a bit intentional and random. .
Bao Yugang nodded and said, "I can only wait and see, but now we do not need to worry too much." ’
At the end of November, after Yang Wendong arranged some things in Hong Kong, he created a plane and came to Los Angeles, USA.
In the InterContinental Hotel, Yang Wendong met Li Xiaolong again and asked, "Is the release of "Dragon and Tiger Fight: Street Storm" ready?"
"Dragon and Tiger Fight: Street Storm" is Li Xiaolong and 20th Century Fox The name of the movie is mainly about the story of the gang and the police.
This kind of plot can be said to be endless for a hundred years. As long as it is well filmed, some people are willing to spend money to watch it.
Li Xiaolong said confidently: "Everything has been prepared, and I will wait for the premiere in a few days."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Yang Wendong nodded and said.
One of the purposes of coming to the United States this time is to watch the release of "Dragon and Tiger: Street Storm". Although it is just a movie, American movies are still different from those of Hong Kong. The market here is huge. Once successful, it will be tens of millions. The profit at the US dollar box office may be as huge as millions of dollars even after sharing the share, and it is even stronger than that of Hong Kong Real Estate.
Of course, this must be a hit movie. Most movies actually have average results, and can only be said to be a little better than ordinary industries and small companies.
Zou Wenhuai said: "Yang Sheng, 20th Century Fox seems to be optimistic about this movie, and I want to discuss the cooperation plan for the next movie with us."
"Next movie Don’t rush the movie. Wait until the box office results come out, or at least the US box office results come out, then negotiate. "Yang Wendong said with a faint smile: "As long as the results of this first movie are good enough, then in the future, other Hollywood companies are willing to cooperate with us. .”
As the first Hollywood company to cooperate with Changxing Film Company and Li Xiaolong, 20th Century Fox can at least make considerable profits in this movie, which is what he deserves. A person with vision and willingness to eat crabs should naturally make money;
But how to cooperate in the future, or even whether it is a cooperation or not, depends on which company has the best conditions. This is also the most basic business rule.
Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "Yes, I think so too. Next, I have to watch Xiaolong's movie, everything depends on the box office."
No matter what, I don't care." Is it Hong Kong or the United States? Movies are just box office. The higher the box office, the better it is. All other fame and awards are false;
In recent years, there has been a TV series star in Hong Kong, who is very famous. So I went to shoot a movie, and I ended up shooting a few movies. There was no problem with watching acting skills or plots. But that's the reality, so this guy went back to shoot TV series. Not to mention, TV series always made great movies ~
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Then I will rest in Los Angeles for two days. After two days, I will also go to the cinema to participate in the viewing."
He hasn't watched this movie yet. He could have watched it in advance, but he also needs to observe the atmosphere of the audience on site. This is also very important. Anyway, I just watch it once, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little later. "Okay, Yang Sheng just arrived in Los Angeles and he also needed a day off." Zou Wenhuai replied: The boss has a private plane, but the time difference also requires a while, otherwise he will be very tired.
On the third day, December 1, on the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, when Yang Wendong came here, he saw the subtitles above and asked in surprise. : "Is this the largest theater in Los Angeles? Chinese theater?" Zou Wenhuai explained: "Yang Sheng, this Grauman Chinese Theater is just about the name and has nothing to do with China, but it has nothing to do with it. Because in the 1920s, its architect Raymond Kennedy referenced Chinese cultural elements, such as pagodas, stone lions and dragon patterns decorations, and the name was passed down in this way. "
"So that's it. I thought there was Chinese capital investing in American theaters." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
When George, vice president of 20th Century Fox, heard the translation being simultaneously, he said with a smile: "Eric, you have invested in a large number of cinemas in Asia, so why not consider building a theater in the United States? Online companies, this will make our future cooperation more convenient."
Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "I think too, but it won't work. The Paramount Act of the United States restricts the investment institute of film investors Line, unless I don’t make movies in the future, that’s fine.”
In early Hollywood, the elite model of the American film industry was very similar to that of today’s Hong Kong. Film companies control theaters, distribution, and control everything. The family has its own territory. Although there are many competitors, they each monopolize within their own regions.
In 1948, the Antitrust Law investigated Paramount, the largest entertainment company in the United States, and finally ruled to split up multiple businesses of Paramount, among which theaters, distribution and film production need to be separated and not allowed to be one. The company controlled it, and other Hollywood companies were forced to follow suit and split and sell their businesses later.
In the 1960s, the distribution company's business was gradually indirectly controlled by Hollywood companies because it had the least technology, but the theater chain was strictly controlled, and Hollywood giants could not participate;
The restrictions under the Paramount Act It's not just Hollywood companies. Anyone, organization, or company can only participate in theater investment or movie investment in the United States, otherwise it will violate the monopoly law. Unless the scale is very small, anti-monopoly institutions generally don't care, but they don't It means it is not illegal.
"It seems that you are really planning to make movies in the United States." George smiled and said, "I, 20th Century Fox, are very willing to cooperate with your company again."
The best ⊥ New ⊥Xiao⊥ Said⊥ in ⊥Xiao⊥9⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥! "Okay, let's finish the feedback from the premiere of this movie first." Yang Wendong said with a faint smile.
George didn't say much, and said, "Okay, let's talk about it after watching it."
Everyone soon took their place, and the movie officially began. Yang Wendong was also full of this movie that did not exist in history. After interest, he soon became addicted to the plot;
This movie involves two gangs infighting, police, and DF, and mainly focuses on fighting. Li Xiaolong's many fights made people excited Many gangs were easily defeated by him;
The best part is that this movie also follows American logic and has guns, but it is useless due to some reasons. , and in the end the police came on the field, there was also a final gunfire battle, which made people feel that there was no problem with the whole plot.
There are many white Americans and Chinese people watching the scene, cheering and shouting. The whole movie is full of passion and many people are addicted to it.
Until the end, Li Xiaolong and another protagonist successfully rescued the heroine, and the gangsters would be uprooted by LAPD, and the whole movie ended.
"Baopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopao
When Zou Wenhuai saw the feedback from the people on the scene, he immediately smiled and said, "Yang Sheng and Xiaolong, looking at this, our new movie will definitely have good results."
Li Xiaolong also looked happy and said, "It's finally successful. I finally brought Chinese movies to Hollywood."
Yang Wendong also nodded and said, "This is the first step, there will be more next For more movies, you also have the opportunity to become a real global superstar.”
The regrets of the Chinese world in the past life can finally be made up for this life.
