Chapter 295 What I’m talking about is, U.S. Dollars
Of course Shi Qianqian didn’t know that she had been misunderstood. Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.
How could she, Miss Shi, ever be a person who cared about other people's opinions?
Not to mention that in her eyes, Chen Zhou was just an insignificant person, A, B, B, D.
"Miss Shi, Mr. Sun asked me to pick you up, please come with me."
Shi'an Faman,
is different from a hotel in the traditional sense.
It has no high-rise buildings, and the houses are all in the Chinese courtyard style, with one household per courtyard. It is a high-end brand created by domestic and foreign joint ventures and is favored by upper-class VIPs.
Although I found out that Thomas Felson was staying here, without Sun Xiyu’s help, it would have been impossible to know the specific room number of this famous Hollywood director.
The manager in a suit led Jiang Chen and Shi Qianqian to Shi'an Faman's internal spa.
"Director Fei is doing a spa inside, please wait here."
"Okay, you go and do your work first."
Shi Xixi nodded.
Jiang Chen looked around curiously.
He has indeed never been to a hotel of this type. The hotel has rockeries, flowing water, lush forests and bamboos. For those who don’t know, he might have thought he had entered a resort area.
Picked up the project introduction form on the table next to me, and after a simple search, it turned out to be 1888 Ocean.
It can obviously rob directly, but it still provides you with services.
“Foreigners really know how to enjoy it.”
Shi Xixi muttered.
“Does the Sun family have shares in this hotel?”
Jiang Chen put down the shocking price list.
“Well, although it doesn’t account for much, the Shi’an mantle should be the Sun family’s most valuable investment.”
“How much does it cost to stay here for one night? Money? ”
“Some rooms can cost more than 10,000 yuan per night, but most of the time you need to make a reservation in advance.”
Some rooms can cost more than 10,000 yuan. Night.
Listen to this tone.
As expected of a wealthy family.
Jiang Chen didn’t bother again.
"How about we go in and relax too?"
Shi Qianqian suggested.
"Forget it, it would be bad if I missed it."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
“What are you going to do?” Shi Xixi couldn’t help but ask.
“Jie Hu.”
Jiang Chen summed it up in one sentence, very concise.
"Cut off the beard?"
Shi Qianqian looked confused and didn't know what to say, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Chen was about to speak when his eyes suddenly froze.
I saw a bearded Westerner walking out of the spa center refreshed.
Although he had never met the other person, Jiang Chen realized that he should be the internationally renowned Hollywood director.
"Director Fei."
Jiang Chen stood up quickly and went to greet him.
Thomas Felson stopped and looked at him doubtfully.
"Director Fei, my name is Shi Qianqian, Shi Zhenhua is my father, and this is my business card."
Miss Shi got straight to the point and quickly identified herself.
The fluent and authentic English pronunciation made Jiang Chen couldn't help but look sideways.
If you didn’t look at her face, you might think it was a foreigner talking.
Taking the exquisite bilingual business card in Chinese and English, Thomas Felson looked down and then laughed.
"Hey, I didn't expect Mr. Shi's daughter to be so beautiful."
Although Jiang Chen has no experience in studying abroad, he is still a top student in a first-class university, so it is natural to understand the communication between the two. Next, after Shi Qianqian opened her mouth, she took advantage of the situation and left it to Shi Qianqian to perform.
Using Shi Qianqian's identity will undoubtedly help her get closer to this international director and avoid a lot of trouble.
“Are you here specifically to see me?”
Thomas Felson asked, holding his business card.
“Yes, Director Fei, I am your fan. I have watched all the movies you made, so I heard from my dad that you came to Donghai this time, so I asked him for your address. I didn’t disturb you.”
Jiang Chen looked at the sincere woman strangely.
This acting is simply flawless.
Who said this aunt doesn’t understand the ways of the world?
"No, no, no, Mr. Shi and I have been good friends for many years. I am also very happy to see Miss Shi. Let's talk somewhere else."
Shi Qian Akane nodded.
Jiang Chen secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Shi Xixi gave him a proud look.
Thomas Felson took the two of them to his yard, sat under the eaves, and made a pot of tea with his own hands.
“I like a lot of Chinese culture very much, especially tea, which is much better than coffee.”
Shi Qianqian smiled in agreement.
"Director Fei, I heard from my dad that you came to China this time for the new movie?"
Thomas Felson was not wary at all and nodded, " Yes, it has always been my wish to make a film that combines oriental elements."
"Director Fei, with your talent, if this film can be made, it will definitely be very popular."
Thomas Felson smiled and poured tea into three teacups.
“But those capitalists don’t think so. They have feudal and pedantic ideas and don’t agree with the casting of Eastern actors. But if they are all white people, how can they highlight the theme of my movie?”
The speaker has no intention. , the listener is interested. Shi Qianqian and Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at each other.
Thomas Felson handed over the two teacups respectively.
The two thanked each other.
"Film is a noble art that cannot be coerced by money. This time, I will not compromise."
Thomas Felson was drinking tea and his tone was extremely firm.
"Director Fei, are you saying that the film companies in Hollywood are unwilling to support you?"
Shi Xixi asked tentatively.
Making a movie requires money,
not to mention a director of Thomas Felson’s level.
Although he may not be as crazy as the money-burning maniac Cameron, as long as he takes action, the budget will definitely not be a small amount.
"They don't need their support."
It can be seen that Thomas Felson is obviously dissatisfied with the capital giants who rule Hollywood.
"I have talked with Mr. Shi. He very much agrees with my idea and is willing to invest in the film in the East. Let those pedantic businessmen go to hell!"
Dare to love This great director came to China, euphemistically called it an inspection, but actually he came to "find money."
"Director Fei, do you have any favorite Eastern actors in your mind?"
Jiang Chen spoke up at the right time, with the same standard English pronunciation.
"This is..."
Thomas Felson has not yet had the chance to ask.
"Director Fei, he is my fiancé."
Shi Qianqian smiled sweetly without thinking, and at the same time, she held Jiang Chen's arm intimately.
Jiang Chen's body stiffened, but it was difficult to refute.
Thomas Felson suddenly understood, nodded and smiled.
"Dong Shi recommended a candidate to me. I have already chatted with her in person today."
"Who is it?"
Shi Qianqian hurriedly asked .
“Pei Yunxi.”
As expected!
Shi Qianqian’s smile froze slightly, and she knew that her sixth sense was not wrong!
What she didn’t expect was that Thomas Felson had already met the vixen.
If you try to trick that vixen into signing a contract again in this situation, I’m afraid it will be impossible.
She secretly tugged on Jiang Chen's arm, indicating that he should think of a solution quickly.
“It’s just that she doesn’t seem to be very willing to do this, and although her image is very in line with my requirements, her international influence is still lacking compared to several other Eastern actresses. Some. ”
Thomas Felson said to himself.
"Yes, Pei Yunxi is still a bit younger, and has never had experience in participating in large-scale international productions. I think we still need to be more cautious on this issue."
Shi Qian Akane nodded quickly.
“I think that since Director Fei really wants to break the rules and use Eastern starring actors and find actresses who have already had international works, it is better to find a clean newcomer like Pei Yunxi. ”
Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up.
Shi Qianqian was stunned and turned her head in surprise.
What is this guy talking about?
Isn’t the purpose of their coming here just to stir up pornography?
Jiang Chen didn't look at her.
Thomas Felson thought thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense, but will the risk be too great?"
"Director Fei, you just said, Movies are an art, and the birth of a great work of art often requires risks. Take Titanic for example. At that time, Fox was even prepared for bankruptcy and liquidation, but as a result, this film became an eternal classic in film history. "
Thomas Felson instantly thought of his old rival, that damn truck driver.
With this Titanic, the opponent soared into the sky, and until now, They all pressed him firmly.
“But the Foxes of today are no longer the Foxes of the past. They have become narrow-minded nationalists, outright businessmen, arrogant and short-sighted!”
This international director He must have suffered a lot of injustice in his own land, so he came to China to look for opportunities.
And not a word was mentioned about Cameron's credit, and all the success of Titanic was attributed to Fox Pictures.
He was obviously complaining that he was not lucky enough to meet someone like Fox back then.
"Director Fei, Sissi and I have almost grown up watching your movies. We very much agree with your movie concept. If you are really willing to make a movie that promotes Eastern culture, In terms of funding, we will fully support it.”
Shi Qianqian held Jiang Chen's arm tightly, her mind was filled with the words "Xianqian", and she didn't even hear what else Jiang Chen said.
"Mr. Shi has already talked to me..."
"No."
Jiang Chen took his time: "Director Fei may not have understood what I meant. , We came here just to solve your financial problems.”
Thomas Felson subconsciously felt that this was Shi Zhenhua’s instruction, and then he remembered that when the other party promised to help him attract investment, he did not. stated conditions.
Although movies are an art, they are also a business.
No one gives for nothing.
The purpose of that Oriental business tycoon is nothing more than to make the young actress known as the Oriental Venus popular.
He didn't mind this. After all, he had already interviewed the other party's conditions and they were in line with expectations.
Nothing more.
The conditions for negotiation still need to be negotiated.
"The budget really cannot be reduced, otherwise the quality of the film will not be achieved..."
Jiang Chen didn't even wait for him to finish his words.
“Three hundred million.”
Thomas Felson frowned and was about to speak, but Jiang Chen looked into his eyes and added another sentence.
“I’m talking about U.S. dollars.”
Thomas Felson stopped talking.
Miss Shi, who was still confused by the sound of "Sissi", didn't react at first. After a moment, she turned her head in disbelief and her eyes suddenly opened wide.
