Chapter 297 Planning for Hollywood

Early the next morning, Zhang Qing, Zhang Lan, Zhang Qian, weekend, Yue Ling'er, Yue Shan, Yue Shui and other two cars headed to the airport together.

Originally, Zhang Qing wanted to take Sun Haiping with him, but she was taking care of more than a dozen children with several security family members and didn't like to go out, so she didn't force it.

For Yue Shan and Yue Shui, Yue Ling'er paid for their trip to Hong Kong Island with an advance salary.

Yue Ling'er is now more confident than before.

Her confidence is not blind, but is based on her deeper and deeper study and mastery of music, which makes her confident that she will use her achievements to repay Zhang Qing and gain wealth in the future.

When we arrived at the airport, we reunited with Sun Kuohai and his party, and boarded the plane to Shanghai together.

"Qingzi, after I finish my work on my return, I'm going to the United States. I have a movie to shoot. Are you interested in going to Hollywood?"

On the plane, Sun Kuohai insisted on sitting in the same seat as Zhang Qing. After sitting down, they started talking about movies.

It was originally a polite remark to show off, but Zhang Qing unexpectedly said seriously: "Brother Kuohai, have you seen the 1987 movie "Ghost Baby"?"

Sun Kuohai said with a smile: "Of course, I read a lot of movies. I will watch any Hollywood movie with a box office of more than 30 million. I have countless video tapes at home."

Zhang Qingdao: "Then do you know Director Chris Hughes?"

Sun Kuohai smiled and said: "Of course! Although he is not an A-level director and has never made a real blockbuster, he is relatively talented among B-level directors. Unfortunately, several consecutive films have received mediocre responses... What happened?"

Sanmao said: "You want to make a movie with me."

"..."

Yue Ling'er was stunned. She looked at Shao Shan and said, "He wants to find Chris Hughes to make a movie?"

Before being confirmed again, Yue Ling'er smiled and said: "Qingzi, the United States is China, Hollywood is also the mainland market, and even the Hong Kong Island market. These outsiders are very smart, you must not listen to these people's nonsense.

There is gold everywhere, and there is no spirit of contract. As long as you work hard, you can get rich. So tell him, Wall Street's funds have tried to withdraw from Hollywood several times to get a piece of the pie, but every time they were cheated and got their money back. Wall Street

That’s the case, let alone Chinese capital?”

San Mao said seriously: "He thinks that will work... you can come up with the script and draw the scenes, set up a film company in the United States, and like "Shao Shan Shun", ask Keith Hughes to shoot two movies in a row.

Because it is a big-budget movie, except for the director Feguire, all the other actors need to be cast. Hollywood knows very little about such a crew, so naturally no one will care about it. Chrisius's reputation is wrong.

Right?"

Yue Ling'er nodded and said, "That's right, does that person have these messy rumors?"

Sanmao laughed and said: "You will ask Sister Zhao to be the producer, so the crew will go too far."

Yue Ling'er said: "What about distribution? Distribution is the most important thing."

Shao Shandao: "You know that distribution requires a small amount of money, including copy money, publicity expenses, etc. For small directors and small companies, such as the Eight Small Film Company, we all have our own distribution company and publicity channels, and we don't have our own

TV stations. Therefore, they need to consider promotion and distribution. They can directly deduct 10% to 17% from the box office as promotion expenses. But for other independent films, if they want to promote and distribute, they have to pay for it themselves.

Advance payment, unless watching the film will make a small splash, and the distribution company is willing to advance, but there are many such situations. This results in a very small number of independent films, large-budget films, and occasionally one-day trips to the theater, and even a small number of audiences

I don’t know if that movie will be released.

Therefore, you will prepare a small amount of money for publicity."

Yue Ling'er was surprised and said: "Qingzi, is he afraid of losing money? You dare to use your own money to invest in Hollywood, not even once. You dare to do it in Hong Kong Island, but you really dare to do it in Hollywood. After the movie is released,

, everyone knows that someone can sell something. If he can sell something, his whole life's hard work will be over!"

Sanmao smiled and said: "Brother, does he think you are young? Even if you fall, you still have no chance to get up. But if you want to fight, it is to go to Hollywood, where movies are poorly marketed and have the least maturity.

How can you really know what the gap is between the two sides? He is worried, but you can afford to pay."

Yue Ling'er was anxious before accepting that one's argument. But after thinking about the income of "Zhang Qingxiao" and the income of Sanmao's record sales and peripherals throughout Asia, it can really make up for it.

I paused and said, "What he said doesn't make sense. He is so young and has done such a small business. Tens of millions of dollars is half a lifetime's struggle for you.

For him, it's only a matter of one or two years... Why do you want to shoot two movies in a row?"

Sanmao smiled and said: "The two parts are closely related, and if the first part is a hit, there will be less trouble in shooting the seventh part. Without the seventh part in hand, the settlement of the first part can be completed more slowly."

Yue Ling'er laughed and said, "You are really convinced by their young people's impetus. They are so daring to think! You know everything, just think about what to do before selling."

The only thing that can be said outright is that Sanmao got carried away.

San Mao also explained and said with a smile: "About the end of April, you will go to the United States with your boyfriend to set up a film company. Then I will need my help, so I will contact Chris Hughes."

Shao Shanshun said with a smile: "Yes! He is the young man now, so you must help him! When it comes to publicity, you can find a few friends to help him cheer up. Oh, I really envy him, he is so young and has no motivation

!”

Sanmao smiled and said, "Thank you."

Bai Kezhi in the back row turned around and said, "Qing Duo, you want to talk to him about the script he will send you next time."

Shao Shan shook his head and said: "Director Bai can only think about this book, and he must think it through. "Zhang Qingxiao" is the pinnacle of Bai's movie box office, and this book should make him climb the next level.

A low point. It requires slow shooting, careful polishing, and excellence. Including props, costumes, and art, all must be done to the extreme. Yanyan plays the male lead, and he can scold him as much as he wants. Don't be afraid of crying and scolding.

It's good for you to be cruel. In short, that book must be made into a timeless classic. The tone is romantic, sad, beautiful, but also refined. Even the passionate scenes should be free, but still make people feel love.

of beauty.”

Yue Ling'er was not surprised: "He is willing to let Yanyan film a love scene?"

Shao Shan once said: "You are an actor!"

Yue Ling'er had a look on her face that said, "He's fooling the devil": "They are all women, what is he talking about with you?"

Sanmao was a little embarrassed and coughed dryly and said: "The heroine is Rong Duo."

Sun Haorong, look at her woman, she is more charming than a man...

Yue Ling'er laughed and said, "You knew it! So, you asked him if he wanted Yanyan to come to the filming, so you are offended!"

Sanmao shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

Yue Ling'er didn't bother to pay attention to my harsh words, and talked about the Hong Kong film industry again, giving Sanmao a detailed introduction to the small hills, as well as some weak ones that although they had theaters or not, I even provoked them.

people.

"You, my little brother, known as Bamao, wow, I have never saved any face for you. What can you do? We grew up together when we were raised, and we were beaten by me until we were young. Just like brothers, how can we still fall out with each other?

"

Shao Shanshun complained.

Sanmao smiled and said, "Is that Brother Huang Deyuan? With Brother Kuohai's current status, he should be afraid of me."

Shao Shanshun shook his head and said: "Hey, you have a great fortune and are brothers for the rest of your life. How can you change your mind just because of your low status? When you just finished filming as a director, a group of bad guys from the society came to collect land fees. How could you be willing to do so?

Hey? Wow, there are eleven or four of these people coming to beat you. Someone dares to come forward and help you. At that time, Bamao was filming in the studio next door. He heard the person in front of him rushed to help you. Fortunately, I remembered to send Yan Wu to find a group of people.

Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists came to the rescue, and you all worked together to beat these bad guys away. Qingzi thinks, in this case, if Bamao can rush back to help you by himself, what does that mean?"

Sanmao was moved and said: "It shows that my little senior brother is really wrong."

Yue Ling'er smiled and said: "Yes, it's been like that since I was a child. Outside my home, I can beat you as hard as you can. But inside, I allow others to touch a finger of yours. Hong Kong Island is so

There are so few gangsters in the Youth Club. They pointed a gun at Zhao Mingyu while filming, and forced Li Qifa to work for free. Yu Mingbo’s manager has been killed. How can anyone dare to cause trouble for you? It’s because the younger brother led you brothers to split!"

Sanmao said enviously: "We have grown up together and we have the same love."

Yue Ling'er smiled and showed her true colors: "Look at what she said, if I want to make a co-production, you can stop me. Bai Kezhi, Zhao Lin, it's hard for us to do it, he won't understand."

Zhao Lin turned around and said with a smile: "Kuo Hai is my younger brother, and Bamao is my younger brother."

Sanmao shook his head and said: "The 1910s and 1940s were my dream. After leaving the 1940s, I have really followed the audience's thoughts."

Yue Ling'er's scalp was numb, and she smiled bitterly and said: "Please, he is your little brother, so he has to, don't say it so directly! It's so embarrassing, it's so difficult for you to be in the middle!"

Sanmao smiled and said: "How do you say this...forget it, for his sake, Dujuan will give me a book and investment, and ask me to direct and act in a play, how about it?"

That person had a lot of experience, his acting skills were passable, and his scenes were mediocre. But his mental energy was empty, and his background was exhausted in the 1940s and 1940s.

Even if I give it a good script, I can still make a decent movie.

Yue Ling'er naturally thanked him and said with a smile: "Qingzi is worried that even if you go to Hollywood, as long as Balmao is not around, there will be people outside the Hong Kong film industry who would dare to bully him."

Sanmao smiled and said, "No one can bully you yet?"

Shao Shanshun reminded: "You have to be careful. The qualifications for co-productions are in his hands. Those who can get the qualifications will naturally be very disappointed. The best thing is that they are qualified. He thinks we will go crazy? Don't be careful."

, Fortunately, Ma Xi is about to return, and he doesn’t have such a few capable security guards, so it is really safe. Some people are so bad that they think they are. We think it was him who broke our hair.

The way to make money is the same as killing our parents. By the way, his people, especially Yanyan, should be protected."

Sanmao smiled and said: "Of course. Your security force is weaker than you."
