"What a big house, this area is tens of thousands of square meters, right?"

In a black Rolls-Royce sedan, a young man looked through the window at various facilities in the manor and said, "If it is placed in China, which film director can afford such a luxury house. ↖,"

"That's how profitable it is to make movies?" he asked.

Zuoshan Diao gently patted the young man's arm, "Xiao Liu, do you see "Batman: The Moment of War" released in China last year?"

"I've seen it."

The young man named Xiao Liu immediately nodded and said, "A very interesting movie."

"Do you know how much Duke Rosenberg took from this movie?"

Without waiting for the young man to answer, Zuoshan Diao raised a finger, "Not counting his share dividends, just relying on his director position, he took at least 100 million US dollars of after-tax income."

"This...so much..." Xiao Liu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"This is just the number announced to the public, and it should be only a lot more or less." Zuoshan Diao sighed, "Xiao Liu, you are about to go to the film academy. This time the old leader asked me to bring you here, just to let you see the latest developments in the world's film industry and feel the style of the top director in this industry..."

"I know!"

Although they are bastards in some aspects, these people who have received elite education are undoubtedly extremely serious in their attitudes in their business and can distinguish priorities. Therefore, Xiao Liu nodded heavily, "Duke Rosenberg has always been my idol."

If he can get half of him in the future, no...even if he only has one-quarter or even one-fifth of his achievements, it will be worth his choice to choose the film industry.

The Rolls-Royce sedan they picked up was parked in front of a unique villa. Someone immediately came to open the car door. Xiao Liu sorted out his dress and followed Zuoshan Diao to get off the car.

The first thing he saw was the owner standing at the door of the villa. It was a man and a woman, and the man was Duke Rosenberg. He looked about in his early thirties, with short brown hair standing up, looking very energetic. His dark brown eyes were like bottomless water, and he could not see the bottom no matter how hard he saw it.

Even if he has never really dated, the education he received since childhood told Xiao Liu that he must be a wise and firm person.

The blonde woman standing next to him was a standard American girl. Although she looked a little strong from an oriental perspective, she was sexy and beautiful enough.

Xiao Liu knows this woman, a Hollywood female star who is not too big or too young. Judging from her holding Duke Rosenberg, she should be the girlfriend of this super director.

In recent years, as the degree of information freedom has increased, many Hollywood information has also been spread there. For example, this director is the most well-known Hollywood director there. Various romantic affairs about him have been circulated on the Internet. Xiao Liu even read a gossip. The Hollywood stars he has dated can form a strengthening list.

However, Xiao Liu didn't think much about it. In such an occasion, as his identity, he would never do anything rude. He followed Zuoshan Diao and walked towards the door of the villa.

"Hello, Mr. Han. Welcome to visit."

Two steps ahead, Duke grabbed the other party's hand and introduced, "This is Miss Scarlett Johnson."

Zuo Shan Diao shook hands with Scarlett and introduced Duke to the young man named Xiao Liu. Under Duke's guidance, the group entered the small banquet hall.

The dinner was held in the form of a formal dinner. Both parties knew that the so-called dinner was just a form. Duke invited Zuo Shan Diao to come over, which must have his own purpose. Zuo Shan Diao was willing to accept a banquet from an American director, and it was definitely not for a dinner.

After a brief dinner, both parties changed to a reception room facing the sea, and each talked about the customs and customs on both sides. The topic gradually turned to the movies in the same industry they were engaged in.

"Cinemas are one of the infrastructures that exist in the film industry." Zuoshan Sculptures Coffee, put down his cup, and said, "There are more than 50 theater companies that Warner and China Film have built, and are still increasing at a rate of five per month."

He suddenly sent an invitation, "Director Rosenberg, we have always had close cooperation. On behalf of China Film Group, I want to invite you to the China-US Film Forum held in November this year."

“I can’t determine the itinerary now.”

After all, time is still far away, and Duke cannot determine whether it will be done at that time, nor will he agree rashly, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if he can't go. "Mr. Han, it will take some time for me to answer you."

"I understand." Zuo Shan Diao laughed, "Director Rosenberg is busy with work."

His topic suddenly changed, "I wonder what movie plans are there in the future besides the current "Iron Man"?"

You could probably guess the intention of some mountain deity. Duke thought for a while and said, "For the time being, there is only the sequel to Batman and a movie about robots."

"Don't you know that director Rosenberg has considered investment from China?" Zuoshan Diao asked suddenly.

Duke didn't go around the circle, and his eyebrows were raised gently, "Mr. Han, is your China Film Group interested in investing in my movie?"

Zuoshan Diao nodded slowly, "It does mean this."

Since China Film Group officially introduced Hollywood movies, the other party's films were the most popular and best-selling films in its own market. By the turn of the century, there were even a large number of Duke Rosenberg fans. The films he directed by China Film Group were almost all of the best box office and the most profitable films introduced by China Film Group.

Capital is ultimately profit-seeking, whether it comes from the private or the official.

After thinking for a while, Duke said, "Hollywood emphasizes international cooperation. I personally do not reject investments that originate from outside Hollywood. But Mr. Han, you should go to Warner Bros. to discuss specific terms."

With the current development situation, Warner Bros. may not completely reject the investment from the party, but these foreign funds may only be able to get the box office share. It is basically impossible to share the cake from the surrounding areas.

Duke's attitude is obvious, neither rejecting nor actively participating. He is only responsible for making movies. From the beginning to the present, except for "Independence Day" being too American and the theme of "Chicago" is relatively niche, all his other films have been introduced by China Film Group.

Relatively speaking, he is a director who has a very neutral attitude towards the other side of the Pacific.

Introducing such directors will undoubtedly reduce the political troubles of China Film Group.

The two sides generally had a pleasant conversation. This kind of cooperation was originally a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Duke needed a market across the Pacific in the future. China Film Group introduced his films to make a lot of profits, which laid a sufficient foundation for the cooperation between the two sides.

"Director Rosenberg..."

Zuoshan Diao couldn't stay for too long. After more than half an hour, he offered to say goodbye. When he left, he said to Duke, "China Film Group sincerely invites you to our side to shoot movies. We also hope to see Chinese actors or behind-the-scenes personnel who can participate in the top production of your top director."

Duke shook hands with him, "It will definitely happen in the future."

As long as the market explodes there, without the other party saying much, Duke will let some Chinese actors start to play soy sauce in his videos.

For example, according to his plan, when "Transformers" is released, the market across the Pacific will enter a stage of rapid development, so he plans to appropriately introduce a few actors from there.

Moreover, Transformers have extraordinary significance for many people on the other side of the Pacific. As long as they operate well, they will inevitably become a series of movies that make money by making crazy money. Optimus Prime and Megatron are memories that many people will never erase.

The difficulty of this series is relatively small. As long as the special performance is guaranteed, Optimus Prime and Megatron will always exist, the attendance rate can be guaranteed.

According to Duke's idea, for business considerations, Optimus Prime and Megatron will continue to fall in love and fight each other on the big screen, and even if they die, they can be resurrected.

Even when it is right, it is possible to introduce the opposite actors to become one of the main actors in this series.

After seeing off the two of Zuoshan Diao and the others, Duke returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and was still considering his future plans. His planning table has been scheduled for several years, and it is basically a commercial film with big investments and big productions. The speed of shooting one film every year is almost the limit.

As for the Oscars, since he won the best director with "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", Duke's plan has no longer considered hitting the Oscars. Unless the School of Film Arts and Sciences changes its style and no longer discriminates against commercial films, he will basically be out of reach with the Oscars.

However, Duke, who knows the trend of becoming increasingly niche in the future, is very clear that this possibility is infinitely small.

Although many people constantly criticize his completely commercial production style, Duke is very clear about what he likes and what he needs, and will not change the path he has planned just because a few people criticize him.

As he initially thought to have entered Hollywood, would there be any fun if he didn't like the movies he made?

Those dull art films may be synonymous with elegance or art in the eyes of some people, but Duke is very clear that asking him to make such films, not to mention the issues of style, philosophy and techniques, the interest alone is enough to suffocate him.

For example, there is news in the circle that a director who was once shot out by him won the appreciation of some people with his concept of being one-shot to the end, and finally lost his investment, but Duke didn't care at all.

Maybe the other party can win a complete Oscar in the future, but what does that matter? Let’s not talk about anything else, how many years has the director been talking for just a few million dollars?
