Xiao Qian also had to have a clearer understanding of the great directors in Hollywood.
Compared to the big directors in China, the top directors in Hollywood seem to be... even more unprincipled.
The great domestic directors, such as Zhang Guoshi, Chen Kaige, etc., no matter whether the movies they make are good or bad, they all insist on their own style.
Even though he was severely scolded by public opinion, he still refused to change, even when faced with capital, he would not give in.
Unlike these directors in Hollywood, although they are more famous, they are very good at changing their stance in the face of capital.
He quickly figured out the reason.
After all, Hollywood is a capitalist society, and of course capital has the final say.
In Hollywood film production, the production company usually comes to the director with the script, rather than the director looking for investment with the script.
This subtle difference means that the director's attitude towards the work will not be as insistent as that of domestic directors.
After all, what you earn is just labor fees, and there is no need to be unhappy with capital.
Even the screenwriter of "Kill Bill" is Quentin Tarantino.
As long as the work can be successfully produced, changes will be made.
If it were a big domestic director, try some of their works.
I can fight with you till the end of time.
Since the discussion, Xiao Qian's interest in "Kill Bill" has increased a lot.
"First of all, Mr. Weinstein, I think we should discuss the investment issue of the film first. If Miramax chooses Starlight as a partner, I think Starlight should not just exist as a collaborator."
In the previous life, "Kill Bill" was filmed in China, and Beijing Film Studio was only responsible for assisting in the filming, providing venues and other services. It only existed in the middle and lower reaches of the entire filming system and basically had nothing to do with the main creation of the film.
After the decline of those film studios in the previous life, there was only this much they could do.
But Xiao Qian doesn't want to do anything to others, he must share the profits.
Weinstein's eyes became subtle.
"Mr. Xiao wants to invest?"
He didn't expect Xiao Qian to be so courageous.
Weinstein is well aware that his reputation in China is not very good, after all, the bad things he has done are there.
This guy has tricked Chinese filmmakers a lot.
Relying on his international influence, he used the method of paying deposits in advance to fight off other competitors in competition with other film producers.
Looking back, this guy's face changed.
Because there are no competitors, he will push the price of overseas distribution to ridiculously low prices. If Chinese filmmakers are unwilling to accept it, then he will only lose a negligible deposit.
But what Chinese films have lost is precious overseas distribution opportunities.
In order to avoid losses, Chinese filmmakers had no choice but to accept his blackmail.
In his previous life, Feng Buck Ya did not give this guy any face and exposed his filthiness on the spot. But in fact, from the very beginning? The Chinese film industry knew about this guy's problems.
Under such circumstances? Weinstein never expected that Xiao Qian would still dare to invest.
Faced with his surprise? Xiao Qian remained calm and composed.
Demo? Do you think I, like other Chinese filmmakers, can’t play around with international rules?
At that time, the detailed and rigorous legal provisions will allow you to understand what despair means.
"The right to speak is the basis of our cooperation? And our Starlight's qualifications allow us to cooperate with any film company in the world."
Xiao Qian’s attitude is tough? There is no doubt about it.
Weinstein didn’t hesitate at all? His eyes were shining.
"Well, I'm also looking forward to your company's role in this movie. Don't worry, I will draw up a cooperation contract."
Xiao Qian smiled slightly.
"Since we, Starlight, want to cooperate, what about the treaty? It's better for us to resolve it."
While talking? He waved, and the secretary quickly stepped forward and handed a thick stack of paper documents into his hand.
He didn't even look at it and placed it directly in front of Weinstein.
Starlight has done nothing else in recent years and has cooperated with countless other film companies and film studios? So how to formulate the terms of cooperation has already been established.
And because we have business in North America, South Korea, and Japan? So we are fully aware of international laws, regulations, practices and customs.
So Xiao Qian was talking here, and the terms of cooperation were quickly printed out over there.
Seeing the document that was as thick as the palm of his hand? Weinstein took a breath. Xiao Qian's confident look made him instinctively feel that he seemed to be unable to trick anyone this time.
So the question is? Him? Harvey Weinstein, if he can no longer deceive people, doesn’t he have no soul?
So, should this kind of cooperation continue?
Weinstein only struggled for three seconds before he understood the truth.
He cannot object to this cooperation.
Rejecting Starlight's request for cooperation would mean that "Kill Bill" has no chance of reaching China.
When no filmmaker was willing to cooperate, the script had to be drastically changed and redone, and neither he nor Miramax could afford the losses.
Since Harvey Weinstein entered the film industry, when has he ever suffered such injustice?
The mind is arrogant, but the reality is cruel.
You cannot be wronged, even in the face of cruel facts and generous benefits.
"I will take a good look at this contract when I go back."
Xiao Qian had known this would happen for a long time.
"I will be in South Korea during this period. You can discuss it slowly. I am waiting for your good news. Your life and consumption during your stay in South Korea will be mine."
In such trivial matters, Xiao Qian will still show off his master's style.
Weinstein and Quentin thanked each other and left.
This thick stack of documents was enough for them to study for a while.
There was a planned big hit in April, but it was completely broken by "Sakura Ending".
No one expected that a mere movie OST, which was not even the theme song, would become a huge hit.
Originally, when Xiao Qian ordered the company to order 500,000 eps, there were a lot of doubts within the company.
No one thought that a movie insert could have much influence. It was a bit fanciful to want a single to sell half a million copies.
As a result, on the second day after the movie was released, 500,000 copies of the ep were sold out in advance.
The calls from various places to urge the goods completely broke the tranquility of the company and made everyone busy.
Even Luo Chongxi and Cui Junrong had to go into battle personally and urgently contacted the record production company to increase production efforts.
"On behalf of nim, sing for us. You sing so well, why don't you make your debut?"
In order to celebrate "My Sassy Girl" reaching a new box office record, the company held a small celebration banquet.
I didn't go out to find a hotel, it was just on the rooftop of the company.
There is a very green garden here, full of various flowers. In this season, the grass is long and the flowers are blooming, and the fragrance is overflowing. It is not too pleasant to have a barbecue party here.
After two glasses of rice wine, her cheeks were slightly tipsy. Jin Yina tilted her head and looked at Xiao Qian with drunken eyes, her eyes sparkling.
This woman has always had a girl-obsessed temperament, and she always feels like she will become someone's fan.
Now, she has become Xiao Qian's fan.
After "Sakura Ending" came out, she immediately set it as a ringtone on her phone, and even came to Xiao Qian to discuss it several times.
In Jin Yina's words, she learned a lot from this song.
Now that the atmosphere was just right, Jin Yina took advantage of the wine and acted coquettishly.
Her beauty is not inferior to that of female artists at all, and she has an elegant and bookish air. She always looks elegant and intellectual, and rarely shows off the charm of a little woman.
Only if you drink today will you become as lovable as a lazy cat.
Of course, Xiao Qian would not refuse the beauty's request.
"I need a guitar."
"I'll get it."
Shen Zaiyuan was very active and took advantage of his youth to run downstairs quickly and came back with his guitar after a while.
"Hey Yigu, I really have no regrets when I can hear the representatives singing before joining the army."
Jin Zhongguo stopped eating meat and waited to hear Xiao Qian sing with a smile.
When the company employees who were scattered in other places heard that the representative wanted to sing, they all ran back. Many of them even found their cameras.
So many classic songs were composed by Xiao Qian, and everyone is loved by everyone. But no one knows how he sings, and they are always curious.
Xiao Qian took the guitar and found a chair to sit down.
The evening rays of light poured down from the side, dyeing his long hair red, making him full of the aesthetic feeling of the comic book version.
There were many women at the scene, holding cameras in their hands and listening to the melodious sound of the guitar, and they were already fascinated.
