In the beautiful country, whether there is background support or not is completely different. In fact, where is it not?
Without Gu Zhao's help, the bankrupt sisters' development in the beautiful country would not be difficult, but it would not be smooth either.
This conversation seemed to be a conversation between Xia Yu and Gu Zhao, but in fact, it was a cooperative contact between two capitals.
The bankrupt sisters want to quickly enter the Hollywood runway, and only with the help of capital is the safest way.
This is why Gu Zhao said so many things - if it was just a collaboration between the two of them, it would still be possible to make Hollywood popular, but if he wanted to turn over the Chinese film industry, he really had to film it.
Death is possible.
Without the support of theaters, a movie starring a Chinese actor will inevitably attract resistance from many film industry giants!
Victoria Pictures, the company behind Gu Zhao, is one of the eight major film companies in the world. So far, it has not made clear its intention to cooperate with China Film and Television Company. This is difficult to achieve, but with Gu Zhao as the intermediary guarantee, this involvement can be solved.
and below, the meaning is different.
In the past, no one could make Gu Zhao make such a decision, not Wei Jihong, not Yan Jingdan, not even Zhuang He!
These people all have the ability to make movies, but not the ability to make money - what does capital want?
money!
Xu Wei does have it. His sense of commercial movies is even better than that of Gu Zhao. He has an unshakable position in the box office in China, but he can't deal with Gu Zhao.
Therefore, Xu Wei’s Pearl Century failed to catch up with Hollywood.
Xia Yu's emergence, box office, strength, and the details revealed to Gu Zhao this time...
Gu Zhao's heart was moved.
If it really succeeds, it will be a cooperation between China First Film and Television Company and Hollywood film and television giants.
When the time comes, not to mention that Yao Yuanqian will not be dissatisfied with Xia Yu, I am afraid that he will be eager to imprison Xia Yu.
All this.
It all depends on Gu Zhao’s choice half a month later——
…
am·01:48,
Gu Zhao's Porsche Cayenne left the bankrupt sisters after staying for nearly ten hours.
After sending Gu Zhao away, Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They looked at each other with inexplicable excitement in their eyes.
Zhuang Ling asked, "Tell me, how likely is it?"
Xia Yu thought for a moment, "Half and half, right?"
"So unsure?"
Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Half of it I agree, but the other half... I still agree!"
"How dare you make fun of me!" Zhuang Ling immediately wanted to give her a big chestnut, but Xia Yu quickly dodged it.
Xia Yu said with a smile, "I don't dare!"
Zhuang Ling stretched out and clasped his hands behind his head, "Then we have to explore the route carefully in this half month."
She looked at Xia Yu, "Are we recruiting actors? Or are we hiring companies? We can't wait, right?"
"And you really need to talk to me about what you think and what your future plans are. Don't keep letting me know a little bit about it."
Zhuang Ling didn't like Xia Yu's situation which was beyond her control.
It's not that she wants to control Xia Yu, but as a partner, she can't always be distracted from small things like management and operation.
Then just hire an experienced manager. Why waste her and everyone's time?
She narrowed her eyes, "Also, what did you say to Gu Zhao after we went back upstairs today to make him change so drastically?"
Zhuang Ling guessed - it was definitely not just because he read two scripts and knew that the script was written by Xia Yu that there was such a big change...
Xia Yu had already made plans, "In the past half month, we have been waiting for news on film and television, so there is no rush. Instead, we have to hurry up and determine the development path for Brian before the filming of the "Twilight Series" starts!"
After all, once the filming of the "Twilight Series" starts, it will be busy until the end. In between, there are travels to and from China and the beautiful country, as well as the shooting of two endorsements, script writing, after-viewing, revision, etc...
…
After hearing this, Xia Yu felt a little guilty. Because of these things, she really didn't get angry with Zhuang Ling. Maybe it was because of the cooperation model with Tao Tang. Xia Yu was used to Tao Tang silently supporting everything she did and would not question it.
behavior.
She sincerely apologized to Zhuang Ling, "This was my negligence. If anything happens in the future, I will try our best to discuss it together. Mr. Zhuang should not be angry."
Zhuang Ling nodded slightly.
Means, "I forgive you!".
"Tell me about it? What did you say this afternoon?"
Speaking of this, Xia Yu clicked his tongue, then looked at the back of the car where Gu Zhao was driving away, and said:
"I asked the director, have you worked hard in Hollywood for twenty or thirty years just to win an Academy Award for Best Director?"
"Then I told him that I, Xia Yu, planned to find him and build a Chinese entertainment empire. Then, Director Gu was impressed by the huge aura I exuded and felt that I had the hope of making the Chinese film industry truly global.
…”
"Hiss! It hurts, senior sister!"
After hearing her nonsense, Zhuang Ling, with quick eyes and quick hands, gave her a slap in the face, laughed and cursed, "Bullshit!"
Although I thought about it, I knew that the conversation between Xia Yu and Gu Zhao in the afternoon was definitely more than just these words. As for the "huge aura", it was Xia Yu's nonsense, but the general content was probably nothing like what Xia Yu said.
Big difference.
"Chinese entertainment empire? Do you really dare to think about it?" Zhuang Ling chuckled softly, turned around and walked upstairs. Although she said so, there was no doubt in her eyes. After what she said, Xia Yu
He didn't say it, but Zhuang Ling had a tacit understanding.
'If Xia Yu and Gu Zhao join forces and cooperate with the two major capitals, there may be real hope.'
'And if even they can't do it, maybe in the next few decades, even if China's major capitals put aside their prejudices and join forces, they may not be able to meet another Gu Zhao who is at the peak of his career, another Xia Yu, another
Stephanie Summer!'
Walk into the office floor on the fifth floor.
"Are you going back tonight?"
Xia Yu asked Zhuang Ling, who was walking in front, and then said with a smile, "How about we have a meeting right after this incident?"
Zhuang Ling glanced at Ashley, who was still busy writing in the office, and then looked at her hand. She had read "Twilight 2" halfway through, but because her mood had not calmed down, she couldn't continue reading. She licked her tongue.
He tapped his left cheek and said, "Okay!"
Xia Yu asked her, "Tea or coffee?"
Zhuang Ling: "Can't we both?"
"sure!"
Xia Yu packed up the script, put the original script back into the document bag, and said cheerfully, "It's a pleasure to serve Mr. Zhuang."
Tea, coffee, Xia Yu also made some snacks and sent one to Ashley's office.
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling’s first confession and cooperation meeting when they reached a cooperation agreement——
Officially begins!
In fact, even if Zhuang Ling didn't mention it this time, Xia Yu would still take some time to discuss it with her.
From now on, she only needs to concentrate on making movies and taking care of professional matters, and the rest will be left to Zhuang Ling to take care of.
As mentioned before, Zhuang Ling is not Tao Tang after all, and he and Xia Yu do not have so many years of tacit understanding.
Moreover, there is a huge difference between China's development and international development, the development of Hollywood, and the entry into the global film industry.
This time, Xia Yu broke it apart and crushed it into pieces, talking about the goals he wanted to achieve from a large scale to a small scale——
1, tens of billions of box office;
2. The short-term goal is to enter the Hollywood front-line;
3. The long-term goal is to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, Berlin and Cannes Best Actress;
4. The ultimate goal - to make Chinese movies completely rise!
Xia Yu didn't tell Zhuang Ling before because she was worried that Zhuang Ling would think she was too ambitious. But this time, not only did she have the strength, but she also brought Gu Zhao, a favorable ally, into the camp. These goals may not be achieved if they work little by little.
cannot be achieved.
If Ashley's existence has given Xia Yu a pass to enter Hollywood, then Gu Zhao's existence has opened up all the connections. At least, it has opened up the connections of Victoria Pictures, giving her a capital core in the future in Hollywood.
competitiveness.
This ordeal didn't come to an end until Ashley woke up at seven in the morning.
Everything has been said.
But thinking of Xia Yu's lofty ambitions and ambition, Zhuang Ling took a deep look at her——
"You are much better than the old man - provided that you complete these goals one day!"
"I originally wanted to go to Hollywood more for fun, but now -"
"...Tsk, Director Gu, couldn't he just be fooled by you like this?"
Xia Yu also laughed jokingly and said, "Director Gu also said that I am suitable to be a lecturer in success studies. Senior sister, what do you think?"
The director's tacit understanding? Because Dai Chengbi also said this about Xia Yu at the Venice Film Festival.
Zhuang Ling rubbed her temples with her slender fingers and smiled, "That's very appropriate!"
"Do you still want to have breakfast?" Xia Yu asked.
"Forget it, forget it, it's been a long day. This idiot Ashley even knew how to sleep in the middle of the night, but we actually stayed up all night. How young are you, little girl? You can handle it, sister, I'm forty
, I can’t bear it anymore.”
she said.
"I have to go back and sleep with him..."
"Also, please don't call me before noon tomorrow. I have to make up for it. If anything happens, I'll talk to you tomorrow afternoon."
Ashley went to bed at around three in the morning. She originally planned to listen to the conversation and plans between Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling, but the two people communicated in Chinese without any barriers, and their speaking speed and vocabulary were a little difficult for her to understand.
Although her Chinese is good, her mind has been spinning all day in the middle of the night and she can no longer keep up with the rhythm.
The more I listened, the more sleepy I became, so I simply went to the apartment instead of entering the guest room, and spent the night on the sofa in the living room.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up in the morning, the whole house was empty except for the chubby and black God of Wealth staring at her.
When I came down, I saw that these two people were still having a meeting? They were the three most beautiful Chinese quintessences.
“what the fu*k?”
"are you crazy?"
"oh my god?"
"You guys didn't take any rest all night just to plan the future of the company? I just can't understand it. Not during the day?"
"You guys are really crazy!"
After feeling sorry for Xia Yu, Zhuang Ling, two workaholics even crazier than her, smiled again.
Although her face is a little swollen from staying up late, Ashley still looks good.
He raised his eyebrows and asked: "But, I think this early in the morning, should we have a happy breakfast?"
Xia Yu raised his eyes to look at her, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If it weren't for your beauty, I think I could pack you up and kick you into the garbage can downstairs. I am your boss, not you.
Dedicated chef.”
Ashley still wanted to talk, but in the end, Zhuang Ling grabbed her and dragged her downstairs.
Xia Yu doesn't mind making another breakfast.
But Zhuang Ling was obviously impatient.
"Right now, I just want to have a good sleep, and you have to be responsible for sending me home."
Waiting for Zhuang Ling and Ashley to leave, Xia Yu checked the pile of script manuscripts in his hand and put them in the safe in his office - after all, these scripts are of great value and artistic value.
It is a priceless treasure.
When he first got this safe, Xia Yu thought, "What's the need?"
Now it seems that Zhuang Ling's arrangement is very foresight. And here in Beautiful Country, there are some assets, safes, it seems that everyone has one? It seems that she remembers that Teacher Yongxia also has one. Maybe she is really suppressed by poverty.
Imagination?
She really doesn’t have anything to hide? It doesn’t seem like it? Watches and jewelry seem to be quite expensive?
But for a quick wearer, these are really vulgar things, worth hundreds of thousands or millions? In fact, in her opinion, there is not much difference between the real value and the hundreds or thousands of dollars!
Putting aside these thoughts, Xia Yu closed the safe, tidied up the office and tea room, and then returned to the apartment.
The little ancestor Yuanbao was already waiting to be fed. Xia Yu first made him a top-quality raw bone and meat, as well as the nutritional supplements he needed, and then made himself a breakfast. Zhuang Ling and Ashley were not around, so she kept it as simple as possible.
The bread machine toasted two slices of bread, cracked two eggs with one hand, and put them into the pot.
After hearing a "squeak", Xia Yu threw the egg shell into the trash can.
I cut a tomato, threw two slices of bacon next to the eggs, washed two lettuce leaves - an egg and bacon sandwich in two minutes, freshly cooked, with a cup of goat's milk, it didn't take many bites anyway, so that was it for breakfast.
.
After washing the dishes, I cleaned up the cat litter for my little ancestor, took a shower and applied a facial mask. I waited until eight o'clock before closing my eyes and entering the system.
I talked a lot with Zhuang Ling today, including about the follow-up of the movie, and Xia Yu also gave an overview.
"Twilight: The Series" is a romantic movie that gives the audience the stereotype of a chick flick. It would be time-consuming and laborious to break through it. Under multiple considerations, Xia Yu plans to finish filming "Twilight: The Series" and follow up with another one.
series.
Like the "Twilight Series", this series of movies that Xia Yu is eyeing has a total global box office of more than three billion US dollars in the L-level parallel time and space. The most important thing is that both series are female-led movies. But
One is a chick flick and the other is a heroine movie.
This series is called——
"The Hunger Games".
Xia Yu has finished watching this series, and what she wants to watch today is another one.
This is a romantic disaster movie in the L-level literary and artistic world, with a box office of tens of billions, called "Titanic".
"Who said that realistic literary and artistic films and realistic dramas must be high-end? But if they are about love, they must be tacky?"
