Seeing that he had knocked down the superiority and arrogance of this famous Hollywood director, screenwriter, and producer just now, Xu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas, you don't have to

Being so polite, the two of us are just chatting casually now, and nothing else is involved.

But can I take the liberty of asking, Mr. Lucas, which film company are you currently working for? Or are you a freelance professional director?

Although this is our first meeting, I saw Mr. Lucas that you are so enthusiastic about the movie script and so dedicated to the film art. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely admire Mr. Lucas's professionalism.

.”

When Lucas heard Xu Hao's compliment, he scratched his head with his hand and said with a shy smile, "Mr. Xu, you are really making fun of me. Now here in Hollywood, I can only be regarded as a rising star. I can only be regarded as a young person."

Director, I can't bear your praise.

Until now, when I entered this industry, I have only filmed one film, "American Style Painting," which was quite a good film, but I dare not impress a screenwriter like you, Mr. Xu.

Before this, I was a freelance professional director. Perhaps because of this film "American Style Painting", several film companies came to me during this time and wanted to sign me to their company.

But none of the conditions they offered were to my liking. The most important thing was that no company gave me the editing rights for the final film.

Rest, the video I worked so hard to shoot was finally edited by people who didn't know my shooting intention. Can that achieve the intention I want to express? Can it achieve the effect I want?"

Xu Hao quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas is so humble. We Chinese have a saying that everything is difficult at the beginning.

Now that you have such a good start, you will not be far from becoming a great director in Hollywood and becoming a world-famous director in the future.

But let me ask you out of the blue, what is the final editing right of the film you are talking about?

Over here in Hong Kong, whoever directs and shoots the film is responsible for all the post-production of the film.

Before any film is completed, the director's power comes first. Only in this way can the film express the director's original ideas. Why do you, the film company, interfere with this?

It’s not okay for them to do this. Then after the final editing of the film, don’t they know whether it can express the director’s intention? Then won’t the film end up being different?”

When Lucas heard what Xu Hao said, he felt as if he had met his soulmate, and said angrily, "Mr. Xu, you really understand my feelings, so until now, I have not agreed to sign a contract with their company."

requirements, I am still a free man.

Mr. Xu, the plot of your movie script has been conceived in my mind for a long time and cost me a lot of thought."

Xu Hao said with a smile, "It seems that your idea, Mr. Lucas, coincides with mine. Does this mean that the two of us, thousands of miles apart, are really close to each other?"

Some people have a sense of connection.

I don’t know whether your idea or my script is more comprehensive or more detailed?"

Lucas smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, in fact, my ideas are similar to those written in your script, but some details of the plot are really not as detailed as those written in your script.

I am planning to shoot this movie just to make a comeback for me. When the time comes to make some money, I will start a movie company of my own and shoot some movies that can meet my wishes.

Who knew...who knew that when I went to the Script Guild to check, you had already registered it first."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas, are you so optimistic about the script of this "Star Wars" movie? Can you now conclude that this movie will definitely make money after it is made?"

Mr. Lucas, aren't you afraid that after you make it, the movie will be sold out?"

"Fighting on the street? Mr. Xu, what do you mean by fighting on the street? But I have full confidence in this "Star Wars". If it can be filmed, no matter who invests, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

.”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas, it's a common saying in Hong Kong that this movie is a bad movie after it was made. No one liked it, and even the initial investment in the movie was not recouped."

.”

"Impossible Mr. Xu, this "Star Wars" cannot be a blockbuster as you said. It will definitely sell well and make money." Lucas said excitedly.

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Don't get excited, Mr. Lucas. Let's talk about the investment in this movie."

I have already budgeted it. With the special effects technology in Hollywood now, if we want to shoot the effect we want, the investment in the film will be very large.

In order to fully express the effect I want, I need to spend about 8 million to 10 million meters of gold to achieve the perfect effect of this movie.

Mr. Lucas, you have said at the Script Guild that you have found a film company that is prepared to invest in this film. I wonder how much money this film company is prepared to invest in you to produce this film?

I'm sorry, Mr. Lucas, I have no other intention. I'm asking you this question just because I can't let my work become a different image after it's produced due to other factors.

But you are looking for this film company, and if it can really invest 10 million yuan at a time to shoot this "Star Wars" movie, then I will feel more relieved."

When Lucas heard what Xu Hao said, he knew in his heart that Xu Hao was definitely an expert in movies.

This Xu Hao has a clear understanding of the investment situation in Hollywood, and the budgeted filming funds are not much different from his own.

But when I was in the Script Guild, I said that I had found a film company to invest, and that was just to get the script. Without a script, how could I go to a film company to discuss investment?

Even if you take the script of this movie and look for it yourself, this time involves a huge investment of tens of millions of dollars. Even among the six largest established film companies in Hollywood, there is absolutely no film company that is willing to do it.

It’s an investment for myself, a young director.

For other small film companies, even if they are optimistic about the script of this movie, their companies cannot afford to invest.

In fact, Xu Hao knew very well in his heart that at this time, Lucas would never be able to find a film company that could invest so much money in him at one time. What he said originally was just talk.

.

Seeing Lucas sitting there deep in thought, Xu Hao smiled and said, "What? Does this film company, Mr. Lucas, want to keep it secret? Can't we tell it now?"

But if there is no such company, then there is no need for us to continue talking."

Lucas stammered immediately, "Mr. Xu, this...I..., I..."

Xu Hao knew that he couldn't push this great director too hastily, so he quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas, I'm really sorry. I asked a bit bluntly, but looking at you like this,

I also roughly know the result, so let’s put it another way.

Suppose I agree to your request, give you the script of this movie, invest 10 million yuan in gold for you, and then authorize you to have all the rights to shoot, post-produce, and post-edit. But I am here in Hollywood, now
