At the airport, Lin Juan and Wen Ziyi received the director, who is also Chinese.
To be honest, if Li Lan hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have known that the Chinese director was so powerful.
This person's resume... If you talk about a series, you all know that he is the director of "Fast and Furious" 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9. In the past, he was the Chinese director with the highest box office, but he was later replaced by Wen Ziyi and
Lin Juan broke down one after another.
Similarly, this person also has in-depth cooperation with domestic capital, and his partner is Alibaba Pictures.
This guy is from Los Angeles, so he got there first.
Because a director from China was coming later, the three of them didn't leave in a hurry and started chatting in the box.
"Welcome Director Lin Bin to join the alliance." After sitting down, Lin Juan smiled and expressed welcome, and turned to Wen Ziyi and asked: "Director Wen, you should be familiar with Director Lin Bin, right?"
"Of course." James Wan said with a smile: "When I took over the role of "Fast and Furious 7," I had a lot of exchanges with director Lin Bin. Maybe Universal also saw that he and I were both of Chinese descent, so it allowed me to accept the role of "Fast and Furious 7."
"
Lin Juan nodded with a smile. Speaking of which, starting from Fast 3, this series has taken on a new life in the hands of Lin Bin. It is one of the rare series with higher box office than the last. By the time of Super 6, the box office had already reached the global level.
It achieved good results of nearly 800 million U.S. dollars. However, once James Wan accepted Super 7, the box office nearly doubled to 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, making Wan Ziyi famous in one fell swoop and becoming the Chinese director with the highest single-money box office.
It can be said that these two are great gods.
Together with Lin Juan, the three of them are the strongest combination in Chinese movies. If the news spreads that the three of them are working together to form an alliance, it is estimated that the country will be excited.
"Thank you very much for coming to take over the alliance." Lin Juan said seriously. Being able to come to help during this period is definitely not only because of cooperation with domestic capital. You must know that these two directors have had a close relationship with Universal.
cooperative.
Wen Ziyi smiled and shook his head, and Lin Bin also smiled and waved his hands and said: "It's not a loss for us to be able to film the Alliance series."
In fact, Lin Bin's situation is a bit embarrassing. He gave up taking over Super 7 before because he wanted to try something new. Then he filmed a "Star Trek 3" and also co-produced a "Rampage in Hollywood" with China...
Well, they all jumped.
So he came back to shoot Speed 8, Speed 9, and maybe he came back to help this time. The Alliance series also tempted him.
"The domestic box office market has developed rapidly in recent years, and we also intend to deepen cooperation with the country." Wen Ziyi also said.
Both of them are almost at the top of their game in Hollywood. In recent years, large-scale productions have been emerging in the domestic market, and capital is abundant. However, due to experience, there are still relatively few high-quality films. Both of them have been favored by large domestic capital.
.
Lin Juan nodded, and the three of them chatted. They were both directors, and the common topic was of course movies. Both Wen Ziyi and Lin Bin took this opportunity to have a good chat with Lin Juan about their understanding of the Alliance series. The conversation was pleasant.
The last director also arrived at the airport.
Different from just shaking hands when they met Lin Bin and Wen Ziyi, this time Lin Juan shook hands and gave each other a hug: "Thank you, Director Xu."
That's right, the person here this time is Xu Ke.
Regarding the choice of director, the domestic big guys discussed for a long time. There are so many directors in the mainland, such as Zhang Mou, Feng Gang, Chen Ge, Ning Hao, etc. After chatting back and forth, they always felt that it was not suitable. Everyone even
We talked about Li Quan, who was also the first director to be called the light of the Chinese.
But... this guy who won the award is invincible. When it comes to making blockbusters to compete at the box office...
This is a Confucian general.
So after asking Lin Juan's opinion, he chose director Xu Ke, whom he had some contact with.
The reason for Lin Juan's attitude at this time, whether it was because of previous contact or from an emotional point of view, is that domestic directors are closer to him after all.
"It would be a good thing if we can win this battle." Xu Ke said seriously. This little old man always looked serious. He didn't come alone. He was accompanied by several assistants. His work team would
Arrivals are coming one after another.
What happened to Lin Juan has attracted the attention of the entire domestic entertainment industry, but this is a matter for the upper class. It does not have much impact on the middle and lower class artist bosses. If they win, they will certainly benefit, but if they lose, it will not matter.
Not much impact.
But for those domestic giant film and television companies, if it succeeds, they will control key domestic and foreign distribution channels and benefit astonishingly.
Lin Juan let go of Xu Ke with a smile, motioned to Lin Bin and Wen Ziren who had already stood up, and said to Xu Ke: "Let me introduce it to you..."
…
This is the alliance, a super lineup.
That night, after discussion, Xu Ke would be in charge of the production of "Thor 2", while Lin Bin would be in charge of the production of "The Incredible Hulk 2". Lin Juan flew back and forth between New York and Los Angeles for several days, filming clips from the previous three movies.
Already getting it back, Lin Juan helped them straighten out the movie.
With the influence of the alliance, the news of the director change in the middle of the three films cannot be concealed. There are a large number of reporters around the three studios every day. When the foreign media saw this lineup, some ridiculed, some were surprised, expected, and excited.
Domestic movie fans, on the other hand, were completely excited.
"Holy shit!! What did I see? This lineup!! All of them are my Chinese masters."
"This is the first time I am looking forward to the alliance so much. I can only say that Lin Juan is awesome and China is awesome!"
"This lineup... to be honest, Hollywood can also sweep it, right?! Unless Cameron Gaspierre also comes together!"
"Oh my god, I can't take it anymore, I want to watch The League!"
"That's it!! Blow them up!!"
"I'm about to cry, this is cohesion!"
"How can you lose when flying dragon rides on the face?"
"Please don't raise the flag upstairs."
Of course, those great speakers are also indispensable...
"Isn't this a big fight just to get into Hollywood? I don't understand why you are so excited."
"The Trash Alliance should have been banned a long time ago, and I would say it should be banned in China as well."
"To be fair, Lin Juan is clinging to his own interests, and he doesn't blame Hollywood."
"I think Lin Juan is just a clown. If he makes such a big fuss, if he fails, we will lose our face internationally."
"If you don't overestimate your capabilities, what if these people get together? How can Hollywood's dominance for so many years be broken so easily?"
"..."
Countless netizens who were so popular almost exploded, and then started to criticize them wildly. They even launched a human flesh search and arrested a few people, which made those trolls tremble with fear, and only then a large number of trolls were frightened.
It can only be said that China is really a vast country with abundant resources.
Lin Juan, on the other hand, finally breathed a sigh of relief after helping them straighten things out. The time he came to the United States this time was much longer than expected. It was already August 20th, and he should go back quickly.
The preparations for the alliance over there have been completed, waiting for him to start.
Before Lin Juan left, Xu Ke said something to him.
"Young boy, this time it all depends on you. I can't lose. I'm still waiting for my movies to be sold all over the world." Xu Ke looked at Lin Juan and said. Although he seemed to be joking, Lin Juan felt a heavy feeling.
A sense of responsibility came over him, and then he smiled and nodded firmly.
If he loses this time, he will never enter the set again.
In this drama, Xu Ke basically completely gave up his own personal style. For such a strong person, when discussing with Lin Juan, he completely relied on Lin Juan's opinions, all in order to help him.
On the plane, Lin Juan received a message from Downey.
"Lin, well, I'm not good at comforting people either, but I want to say... I was desperate at that time, but I came through it, and that was a very memorable process."
"I think you know what I mean, I mean... I will support you, and so will they."
Lin Juan felt warm in his heart and replied with a smile: "Thank you, don't worry, I'm fine, but aren't you afraid?"
