Edward Wood, the president of the Asia-Pacific region sent by Paramount, was smoking a cigar slowly, and the green smoke slowly rose. In the winter sunshine, it circled along the curtains for a while, and soon dissipated with a gust of wind.
In the deserted afternoon. To be honest, Wood didn't think it was necessary for him to come. This was just the copyright of a novel. Did he, the regional president, use it to come? At this time, he should be enjoying the scorching summer sun on the beach in Sydney.
, warm sea water, beautiful beauties in bikinis, instead of coming here to suffer during this bitterly cold time.
In this damn weather, even if you breathe outside, it may turn into a layer of frost, which is so cold that it is unbearable. But because it is said that the enemy Huayi Brothers sent here is Asia Pacific President Ai Qiuhua, who is known as the White Fox, so
Paramount headquarters also designated Wood to come and contact him immediately. At this time, Wood called his secretary and asked: "What time did the little guy named Ye Ming make an appointment to come over?"
The secretary said respectfully: "It's half past nine, Mr. Wood. It's not the time yet, but the bosses of several film and television companies in China are here. They want to meet you, the president. I don't know what you mean?"
Wood did not intend to see anyone before he came into contact with Ye Ming. Therefore, he waved the cigar in his hand very easily, as if chasing away the flies around him and said: "Those people, forget it, they will
I am scheming, and there are a few people who really want to make movies. If Ye Ming comes, just ask him to come directly to see me."
At this time, in the lobby of the Beijing Hotel, the CEOs of several companies were waiting patiently. Among them, Boss Dong Pingdong of Poly Huayi also appeared among them. He frowned and said: "President of Paramount Asia Pacific.
If there is nothing special, unless a Paramount blockbuster is about to be released, they usually won't come here, but this time, I haven't heard of any Paramount blockbuster being introduced. If Edward Wood comes here, then
There are just some things worth exploring. It’s hard to hit because of the foreign investment in theaters next year.”
What does Mr. Wood mean when he comes here? Even a big boss like Dong Ping is not very clear about this. However, since Paramount has taken action, such a giant
Every move he makes will attract the attention of countless people.
Zhang Weiping did not hide it, but thought about the key, and then said: "If the news I got is correct, it is not only that Mr. Wood, President of Paramount Asia Pacific, is here, but also that Huayi Brothers
Ai Qiuhua, President of Asia Pacific Region, also rushed over at almost the same time. These two came here to find Ye Ming."
Chen Weimin was shocked by these words. He said incomprehensibly: "Lao Zhang, did you hear that right? Is it for that boy Ye Ming? It seems that it shouldn't be, even though it was said that [Crazy Stone] was profitable.
A lot of money. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for a movie to attract the attention of Paramount and Huayi Brothers. Those are the real giants of Hollywood."
Zhang Weiping was a little jealous, and said wanly: "Yes, if it is a low-cost movie, it is impossible to attract the attention of Hollywood, but Ye Ming does not only have "Crazy Stone" in his hands.
Ramon and other giants seem to be just making games. What really makes Paramount and Huayi Brothers excited is the novel "Harry Potter" in Ye Ming's hands. Ye Ming bought it out quietly.
obtained the copyright of [Harry Potter]. Thinking about the popularity of this novel, you will know why Paramount and Huayi Brothers came. I heard that people from Fox are also on their way. Even today
If not, it will probably arrive early tomorrow morning."
This news was like a bombshell, setting off huge waves in the hearts of everyone present. [Harry Potter] is the most popular novel in the West right now, Dong Ping discovered it keenly.
One of the business opportunities said: "If this is the case, then you think, if a few of us join forces to invest in [Harry Potter], is there hope? After all, Ye Ming is one of our own, is he so good?"
If you get a chance, always think of us first."
Dong Ping's words immediately moved Zhang Weiping's heart. Wang Zhongjun pondered for a while and said: "This is a little difficult. The filming of fantasy movies is not that big, but if we talk about special effects, that's the big one.
, the several of us together, even if we include the official Beijing Film Studio to invest together, we may not have so much money."
Dong Ping said very resolutely: "No matter what it is, you always have to give it a try, right? As long as you hold the right to shoot in your own hands, then in such a situation, we can advance or retreat.
If it doesn’t work, it’s not too late to sell it.”
From this moment on, the moods of the several bosses present were very heavy. They were all foxes for thousands of years, so they naturally understood the meaning of Liao Zhai. But it was Zhang Weiping who knew best that your wishful thinking was a crackling.
Yes, but when it comes to being cunning, Ye Ming is no worse than you. If you want to get the copyright of [Harry Potter] from him, it will not be easy.
At this time, a young white man, wearing a black suit, walked over with an arrogant expression, and looked at Zhang Weiping and the others with a condescending attitude, as if the king was inspecting his subjects.
However, despite this, Zhang Weiping and Dong Ping stood up immediately after seeing the white young man.
Maybe this young man is nothing, but behind the young man is Paramount, so they must maintain the necessary respect for the giant. Dong Ping is relatively familiar with international business, and is very familiar with Hollywood.
The company had also dealt with him before, so he was the first to go up and ask: "I wonder if Mr. Wood has time."
At this time, the secretary raised his nostrils and snorted twice and said: "I'm sorry everyone, Mr. Wood has some things to deal with, so he doesn't have time to see you for the time being. Mr. Wood asked me to express my deepest apology to you."
Westerners are like this. Even if they refuse to meet, they will act as if they are attending a banquet. But the result of this is not that they are disappointed by Dong Ping, because they were prepared when they came.
, Mr. Wood will not see them. In fact, under such a situation, they are just trying their luck. If they see them, it will be no different from winning the lottery. It is reasonable if they don't see them.
At this time, Dong Ping said slightly disappointedly: "That's such a shame. I hope I can have the opportunity to visit Mr. Wood next time."
What can you do if he just disappears? Didn't you just say that you have to be obedient and go back? After the secretary left, Dong Ping sighed and said: "It seems like this, that is, a tycoon like Shao Yifu."
I am qualified to talk to people from Paramount on an equal footing. In our entertainment industry, hierarchy is actually everywhere."
Just when everyone was very disappointed, Zhang Weiping's eyes lit up and he said hello: "Ye Ming, this way."
Because he saw Ye Ming walking in, why did Ye Ming come? In fact, they were very clear in their hearts. Think about it, the CEOs of several domestic film companies were all frustrated when they came, but they did not expect that Ye Ming
Ming is still here. Moreover, it seems that Ye Ming is not worried about not seeing Mr. Wood at all. Think about it, with a big killer like Harry Potter in hand, let alone Paramount’s Asia-Pacific region
President, even if I say President, it doesn't mean it's impossible to see him.
At this time, Ye Ming was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Weiping and the others, but in a blink of an eye he understood what they were here for. Of course they planned to meet Mr. Wood. Isn't this relationship just forged?
, Therefore, Ye Ming also came over to chat with several bosses. At this time, Dong Pingcai said: "Mr. Ye, I heard that the copyright of [Harry Potter] is in your hands?"
This is not a secret, so Ye Ming nodded happily and said: "That's right. It's at my place. This time Mr. Wood came over. It's probably that Paramount Company has taken a fancy to this copyright. Let's discuss how to do it."
The possibility of purchasing is relatively high.”
As expected, it was similar to what Zhang Weiping said, so at this time Dong Ping said very kindly: "Sell Paramount? Did Mr. Ye say that he didn't think about filming by himself? If he said that the funds are not enough, then you say,
A few of us are still willing to help. If you have money, why let outsiders earn it?"
Ye Ming immediately understood that this was a Hongmen Banquet, but he did not show any signs of being in a hurry. Instead, he said with a smile: "We will shoot it ourselves. In fact, I thought so at the beginning, but in the end I still couldn't figure it out. This movie
Only the eight major Hollywood film and television companies have the capital to film, and the rest of the companies simply don't have the ability to do this.
Apart from anything else, we cannot complete the special effects alone. There is no company in the country that can do it. All our companies combined, to say the least, even if we have money and can complete the shooting, we can also hire special effects.
Hollywood does it. But have you ever thought about the distribution of a film with such a huge investment? If the distribution cannot keep up, it will cost us all to jump off the building. I don’t need to say more about the distribution channels of these domestic companies.
, I think everyone is very clear that China simply does not have such conditions."
Ye Ming's words once again made everyone fall into deep thought.
Distribution is king.
This is an era where distribution is king. Once a movie is shot, everything will be fine. The most important thing is the issue of distribution channels.
