Chapter 408 Tongji joins the National Day box office war(1/3)
What I have to say is that when he heard what the other party said, it was hard not to feel excited in his heart.
There is an old saying in China: A scholar will die for his confidant.
Sometimes, although everyone attaches great importance to interests.
But when someone shows great appreciation for you and understands you, it is actually much better than giving money directly.
Of course, even though I say so.
Kali Bueller did feel quite excited for a moment.
But he didn't lose his mind either.
The Martin in front of me has never had a good reputation.
And he never really understood it.
I don’t know if what Martin said is true.
However, the two movies "Saw" and "Coco" are quite famous in the United States.
If you want to ask for a certificate, it’s not troublesome.
"Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom first."
Buller stood up with a calm expression, and then said very gracefully.
......
"Hey, you know "Saw"..."
Buhler subconsciously called his agent.
Although he was not particularly satisfied with the other party's work, he already had the idea of replacing him.
But the other party was relatively well-informed about the information, and the result was indeed that Martin did not lie to him.
More importantly, he searched for Tongji Entertainment and found that he had actually known it before.
The Chinese movie "Infernal Affairs" that I like very much was actually directed by the boss of Tongji Entertainment.
He immediately felt that this did not seem to be a difficult brokerage company to accept.
The most important thing is that this Chinese named Xu Ji actually knows him.
He even invested hundreds of millions of dollars in a movie just to find him to play the leading role. The entire movie was custom-made just for him.
Such treatment made Buhler feel a little elated for a while.
Of course, at this time, he still tried his best not to get too excited.
At the very least, you have to check whether what Martin said is true.
......
After Cali Bueller came back, he stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:
"Does the movie you just mentioned have a script?"
He was still afraid that Martin was just trying to paint a bigger picture for himself.
The so-called movie with an investment of 150 million yuan is just empty talk, how can anyone believe it?
Of course, when Martin heard Buller's words, not only was he not nervous, but he was very happy.
He had actually been waiting for Bueller to ask about the script.
As long as the other party has read the script, there is basically a 70-80% chance of success.
"Of course."
"I just happened to bring it too."
"The movie project has been approved, and the company headquarters has allocated funds."
"The boss of our company asked me to come to you first when I return to the United States."
Martin said nonsense.
Now it was Buhler who became interested.
"Is the boss you are talking about Xu Ji, the director of "Infernal Affairs"?"
Martin nodded affirmatively.
He also didn't expect that Buhler would know Xu Ji's name.
Buller took the script handed over to him.
.......
More than an hour later, while I was studying the details of what I planned to shoot next, I received an overseas phone call from Martin.
When he heard what the other party said on the phone, Xu Ji's face looked a little strange.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Ji looked at Sha Yetong sitting in front of him.
"Tongtong, do you know Carley Bueller?"
Xu Ji actually doesn’t know much about celebrities in the United States.
But Sha Yetong has watched a lot of American TV series with him before, so he should be clear about it.
Sha Yetong nodded while eating the fruit.
"I know."
"The male actors in the United States are equivalent to the front-line actors here, and they are quite popular."
"What's wrong?"
Xu Ji paused for a moment, and then said:
"He seems to...become an artist of our company now."
Sha Yetong:?
......
I have to say that the news of Kali Bueller being signed was quite a surprise to Xu Ji and the entire Tongji Entertainment.
Especially Youman, in her original plan, Tongji Entertainment's positioning in the United States was actually more inclined to be a very independent film and television company.
I have no plans to sign any artists myself.
But now it seems that the development of things is somewhat different from what was planned.
The one Guan Jian signed this time is not an unknown actor.
Xu Ji doesn't understand, but Youman knows very well that Kali Bueller is quite famous in the United States and even the West.
The commercial value of such a first-line actor is quite high.
Under normal circumstances, they will choose to sign contracts with the eight major film companies, and it is difficult for other companies to obtain relevant brokerage contracts.
So she was also a little curious about how Martin signed the contract.
But since the contract has been signed, it is a good thing.
Xu Ji temporarily went to watch two of Cali Bueller's previous movies.
I found that the image of the other party is quite suitable for Captain Jack in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
And at least you don’t need to worry too much about your acting skills. There shouldn’t be any big problems in mastering this role.
As for the subsequent development of Tongji Entertainment in the United States, Xu Ji does not intend to interfere that much.
As long as there are no problems with the general direction, it will be fine if Martin can freely perform the rest.
Xu Ji firmly believes that professional matters need to be left to professional people.
He really doesn't understand the American film and television market and the entertainment industry there.
Sometimes, Martin's decision is the best choice.
If you want to control development too much, it will have the opposite effect.
Just like the usual management of Tongji Entertainment, it is the best choice to give full authority to Youman.
The development of Tongji Entertainment now proves that his idea is correct.
......
After hearing what Xu Ji said, Youman stared at him with a blank expression.
"Are you just lazy?"
"Remember to read the documents I gave you carefully."
Xu Ji couldn't help but blush.
Of course, although there is indeed a reason for laziness in it.
But in fact, most of them are his true thoughts.
To be continued...
