Mei Zi is now a popular actress, with more trips and busy schedules, so she doesn’t have much time to have fun at Wang Shu’s house.
Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief at this.
He was too tired during this period and needed to accumulate energy.
But the big director is the big director after all. He just returned to the villa and slept for one night. The next day, the entertainment headlines of major media had already reported that he had returned to the capital.
This news spread, and Wang Shu's mobile phone rang out from time to time, or a text message ringtone.
Wang Shu originally planned to sleep well in a villa in Beijing for two days. After he was well prepared, he would just go back to his hometown to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
When you return to your hometown, you can continue to cultivate.
Now, it's not possible.
…
"When did you come back?" Han Sanping and others were outside the hotel. When they saw Wang Shu appear, they hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.
In the past, as the chairman of China Film and Television, he would not have been so low-key.
Now, it's different.
It is undeniable that there is no need for Han Sanping to be the chairman of China Film.
However, the two had a deep friendship, and he also wanted to continue working with Wang Shu on blockbusters, so he expressed his attitude in this way. "Yesterday." Wang Shu responded politely.
He originally wanted to rest at home, but his phone rang a lot of ringtones, including Han Sanping.
Wang Shu is a person with clear grudges.
Although we have been working with China Film, China Film has made a lot of money in this process.
But his unfounded wild path was able to gain a foothold in Beijing and even reach his current status, and it was entirely dependent on Han Sanping's care in the early stage.
Otherwise, the huge capital city would not be able to accommodate him.
Although he does not cooperate with China Film, he can cooperate with Huayi, Chengtian and other companies.
However, if he cooperates with companies such as Huayi and Chengtian, he will either become a gold worker in these companies, or be suppressed by these companies with contracts and cannot be mixed up.
Just that China Film is a state-owned enterprise, and Han Sanping has already promoted his younger generations, which made him grow up under the wings of China Film.
He has always been grateful for this. "How many days are you going to stay in China?" Han Sanping asked while leading Wang Shu to the private room in the hotel.
"It shouldn't be long. I will go back to my hometown during the Spring Festival, and then go back to Beijing around the second day of the Lunar New Year. Then I will participate in the promotion of "La La Land" before it was released in China. Then I have to go to the British Film Academy Awards and Oscars." Wang Shu counted his next itinerary.
Han Sanping nodded. He also knew that Wang Shu had more itineraries before and after the New Year, but he was just asking about the topic.
The two of them walked into the private room and ordered some dishes.
There was no one else at this dinner, only Wang Shu and Han Sanping. "Are Oscars sure?" They are old friends who have been in love for many years. The two have never had the courtesy at the dinner table, and they eat, drink and chat.
Wang Shu thought for a while and said, "In the United States, I have the highest call for awards, but it is not certain whether I can win the award in the end."
"After all, if I win the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards again, I will be the first director in the world to have three consecutive Oscars for the Best Director Award."
"The Oscars will most likely not make me, a Chinese director, the first director in history, the first director in history to have three consecutive Oscars for the Best Director."
Although he said this, he is still quite sure in his heart.
After all, his connections in Hollywood have been operating since the financial crisis in 2008.
But he will definitely not say such a thing, so he needs to pretend.
Han Sanping nodded, "Indeed, the first Oscar-best director in three consecutive years was from China, and the American Film Academy would not be happy."
"After all, the Academy Awards are, to be precise, local awards from the United States."
"Since it is a local award, it is difficult to open up the situation, so that a Chinese director will become the first three consecutive director in the history of the Oscars."
Wang Shu continued, "So whether he can win the award is left to fate."
"If you can win, it will be good, and it's okay if you can't."
Han Sanping smiled when he heard this: "After all, I'm the director of Lianzhuang Oscar, and the pattern is different from others."
After saying that, he said, "How is it? Are you considering making another blockbuster in China?"
"Don't you cooperate with Paramount?"
"You can bring Paramount and let's make a world-facing blockbuster together!"
Before Wang Shu came, he guessed that Han Sanping would tell him this, and it was true.
Hearing this, he thought of "The Wandering Earth".
If this movie is only produced in China, it will be as difficult to make waves on the international stage just like the original timeline.
But if you join a large film and television company with global distribution capabilities in Hollywood, their distribution capabilities may change.
Since I have already filmed "Pacific Rim", it is not impossible to film "The Wandering Earth".
Even though it is difficult to recover costs in the current domestic market, it may be possible if the global market is added.
And, filming "The Wandering Earth" in this era is obviously more famous than filming in another five or six years.
Because of shooting special effects blockbusters in this era, it can also be amazing in the global market.
In a few years, Hollywood's green screen blockbusters will be shattered, and it will not be surprising enough to shoot special effects blockbusters in the global market.
In the original timeline, "The Wandering Earth" had a poor box office after its release in North America, and there was indeed a reason for the very small number of screens.
However, when "The Wandering Earth 2" was released in the United States, the number of screens was not less than "The Wandering Earth 1", and the box office it achieved was not as high as "The Wandering Earth 1".
From this point, it can actually explain a lot.
Now Wang Shu has filmed "Interstellar" in Hollywood, and he is also an Oscar director.
With his reputation, if the Wandering Earth he directed could be released in the global market, it might have really achieved a good box office.
I immediately said: "I bought the film and television adaptation rights of the science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth" written by Liu Cixin, and I really have the idea of making it into a movie."
"But the script is still being adapted, and it will take a long time to prepare..."
Han Sanping's eyes lit up when he heard the words.
How long does it take to be in the preparation stage? What is important is that Wang Shu has this idea.
He asked in confusion: "The Wandering Earth"? Aren't there many people on the Internet recommending "The Three-Body Problem" to you?"
Wang Shu calmly responded: "I have no idea about "The Three-Body Problem", so I didn't buy the copyright from the beginning."
"On the contrary, I have an idea for "The Wandering Earth". " "The Wandering Earth" is just "The Wandering Earth." Han Sanping was not very interested in this. He was interested in Wang Shu's idea of making a blockbuster film, and then asked, "How far has the script been adapted?" "It's just the beginning, after all, I have a lot of things." Wang Shu said half-true and half-false.
He actually made the script of "The Wandering Earth" long ago, but he has been a fast gunner for several years. He is preparing to take a short break after the Oscar ends.
The world is so big, take advantage of your youth and walk around and take a look.
In his heart, there was an idea.
More than 200 countries around the world, not to mention communicating with beauties from all countries, at least we have to talk about our life ideals with beauties from more than 100 countries, right?
In this way, we will not be in vain to earn so much money and our life will not be in vain.
Of course, this is what he was thinking about when he was idle. As an upright person, he wouldn't be like this.
Han Sanping also knew that Wang Shu was a busy man, so he said, "After the New Year, you will be no longer busy, right? Have more snacks at that time."
If it were before, he would probably have some urging, but now it is different.
After saying that, he said, "If the script is done, how big is the investment?"
"The preliminary estimate is 200 million US dollars." Wang Shu continued.
"Two million?" Han Sanping subconsciously felt that it was not big when he heard this number, and then suddenly realized that what Wang Shu was talking about was US dollars.
Two hundred million US dollars, that is 1.4 billion RMB!
Which movie is so expensive in China?
Even some previous co-production blockbusters, it only costs tens of millions of dollars!
"Yes." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
Han Sanping was stunned for a moment. Even Zhongying couldn't bear the cost.
He said, "Is it our investment or..."
"Of course, it's the Hollywood film companies." Wang Shu continued, "Whether it's Paramount, Warner, or other major Hollywood film companies have strong global distribution capabilities."
The newest ⊥Little ⊥ said⊥ was released in the ⊥6⊥9⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"With them here, the global release of "The Wandering Earth" can also be guaranteed."
Han Sanping nodded. China Film can only guarantee the country, and there is no problem with this.
Wang Shu looked at Han Sanping at this time and then said, "I plan to bring light and Shangying together in China."
Han Sanping heard the words and wanted to refuse, but Wang Shu said again, "After all, "The Wandering Earth is a science fiction novel in my country, so even if it is adapted into a movie script, the role is still a domestic actor."
"And this may make the movie less popular in the international market."
"Let the light and Shangying together, and spread the cost."
After speaking, he paused and said, "After all, it is a movie mainly composed of domestic actors. Hollywood's major film companies may not be optimistic about the performance of movies in the international market, so they invest cautiously."
"So... share the risk a little less."
Han Sanping suddenly felt that it made sense when he heard this explanation, and then swallowed the words he had already reached his mouth.
Sayed, "Okay, you can do whatever you say."
Wang Shu smiled when he saw this.
The story he said was reasonable and well-founded, but it was not actually like this.
In Light, he has equity.
So with light, as long as the box office of "The Wandering Earth" is guaranteed, it will help Light's listing to raise its stock price.
As for Shangying...
Ren Zhonglun has looked for him many times, and he is very sincere every time.
This time I brought light and no shadows... I don't know what to do in the future.
The two of them then talked about some related matters in detail, and the dinner was almost done, so they left immediately.
Wang Shu and Han Sanping had a dinner party at noon, and he had a dinner party in the evening.
The daily life of busy people is so simple and unpretentious. After this game, they will end up.
…
In the evening, he went to the private room in a high-end hotel.
When he opened the door, he saw that Zhou Xun had already been waiting inside.
She is the only one in the private room, no one else. "Come?" Zhou Xun stood up and greeted Wang Shu with a smile.
Wang Shu nodded.
Zhou Xun's eyes signaled the food on the table and said, "I ordered the dishes you like, and what else do you want to eat, you can order it again."
"That's enough." Wang Shu responded politely.
He knew very well that an actress like Zhou Xun needed to manage her figure. This table of dishes was basically ordered by him, and Zhou Xun could only taste them.
As expected, during the next meal, Zhou Xun moved a few chopsticks and didn't eat much.
Wang Shu is different. He needs to replenish his energy and is eating vigorously.
When Zhou Xun saw this, he couldn't help but say, "Is the diet in Los Angeles not suitable for taste?"
Wang Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard the word, and then responded vaguely, "Unless you go to some stores there, it will not be as good as the taste."
Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said, "So... it is better in China, right?"
"Of course." Wang Shu responded without comment, "If Hollywood was not in the United States, I wouldn't have gone there."
Zhou Xun followed this question and asked, "What's next? How many days will be in China during the Spring Festival?"
"I can't stay for a few days." Wang Shu continued, "First go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year with his parents, then go back to Beijing to participate in the promotion of "La La City", and then go to Los Angeles."
Zhou Xun's eyes were always on Wang Shu, and he said, "When it comes to "La La City", I have not yet congratulated you on the sixth award at the Golden Globe Awards in person."
"Shu, you are so amazing."
"Is the most talented and most powerful director I have ever met!"
"What? Are you moved?" Wang Shu teased with a smile.
When Zhou Xun heard this, she rolled her eyes.
Then he pretended to be unhappy and said, "I'm serious to you, but I didn't joke with you." "I'm serious too, but I'm not kidding." Wang Shu looked up and continued to tease.
When Zhou Xun saw this, he immediately glared at him with anger.
Wang Shu smiled and said, "Come here, I'll tell you something."
"What's the matter? Can't you just say that?" Although Zhou Xun was talking about it, his body had already stood up and walked to his side.
Wang Shu took this opportunity to pull Zhou Xun to his lap and sit down with lightning speed, and then kissed him.
"Don't~" Zhou Xun struggled.
But she didn't resist very strongly, and after a while, she stopped resisting.
After a while, the two of them separated their lips.
Zhou Xun pretended to be vicious and humble, "How many times have you told you that you are not allowed to do this, why are you still like this?!"
Wang Shu did not answer this question, but said pitifully: "I miss a woman!"
In fact... he didn't want to.
But he needed to show his thoughts...
Zhou Xun was not angry at first when he saw Wang Shu's pitiful appearance. With his heartache, he was even more uneasy to pretend to be vicious.
She reached out and touched Wang Shu's face, and said softly: "Even if you miss a woman, you can't treat me like this~"
Wang Shu did not reply, but kissed him directly.
Zhou Xun was not resistant to Wang Shu at first, and he was both soft-hearted and distressed at this moment.
That is... there is not even a symbolic resistance. (This chapter ends)
