Wang Hualin didn't have any superfluous polite words, but said straight to the point: "I read your news, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I have also encountered all these things you have encountered."
It's just that I didn't have a way to deal with them before, but now it's different" Wang Hualin doesn't need to say too clearly in the next words, as long as anyone who pays attention to the international economic situation knows.c。
c also acquired three European cinema chains in a row last year.The current Wanda Cinema Line is no exaggeration to say that it is already the world's largest cinema giant, and Rega is not enough to see in front of Vanda, "Mr.
Wang, I have arranged for someone to communicate with Rega."
If Rega still insists on going his own way, then all the films invested by Rega will be treated the same as Wanda Cinemas," Wang Hualin said in a deep voice.After Wang Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little moved.Wang Hualin: This is tantamount to tearing up his face for Wang Yong and Rega.If Wang Yong and Wang Hualin have a relationship, the two didn't know each other before this phone call; If there is no friendship, Wang Hualin made such a sacrifice for Wang Yong.It can only be said that although the two do not have a friendship between individuals, they have a friendship by blood.It's like when you walk on the road in a foreign land, thirsty, hungry, and fall, a countryman will stand up and help you up and give you water and food.This kind of friendship is usually not obvious, but at the critical moment, it sees the truth in adversity."
Thank you, thank you, Mr.
Wang.I don't even know how to thank you enough. ”Wang Yongdao.Wang Hualin laughed: "If Teacher Wang really wants to thank me, then take me to play." ”Wang Yong was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Our Wanda Group has been investing in the film industry, Mr.
Wang's idea of shooting oriental magic movies, I am very optimistic about your team, but there are famous monster director Luo Lan, director Chen Kai, the first person to use oriental aesthetic colors, and you, a master of Chinese culture who knows everything about oriental culture."
I think that no matter how bad the film made by such a team is, it will not lose at the box office, as long as you can get one, then it will be earned," Wang Hualin explained.As for Wanda's investment strategy, Wang Yong has heard a little.However, Wanda used to fancy famous blockbusters, but I didn't expect Wang Yong to start filming on a whim, and Wanda would also watch it."
Rest assured, we are only investing and absolutely do not interfere in any decisions made about the film.Nor will they forcibly stuff a celebrity or ask for brand promotion. ”Seeing that Wang Yong didn't speak, Wang Hualin thought that Wang Yong was worried about this, so he immediately said."
Mr.
Wang is so sincere, what else can I say to welcome Mr.
Wang to join the Shanhaijing film project team" Wang Yong said."
The Classic of Mountains and Seas" Wang Hualin was slightly stunned."
Mr.
Wang wants to shoot the Classic of Mountains and Seas, as far as I know, this ancient book is just a geography book that records all kinds of myths and monsters.Will it be a little boring to shoot such a movie""The reason why the name "Classic of Mountains and Seas is used is because it has a very distinct representative meaning in Eastern culture.Anyone who knows anything about Chinese culture will think of those legends of gods and monsters with a strong oriental style when they see these three words, so it is easy for people to know what this movie wants to express.Of course, in the face of Western audiences, we will adopt another strategy in translation, such as translating thekeytotiandsace, that is, the key to time and space, which is more in line with Hollywood style.If Mr.
Wang has any good suggestions, he can also say it.Now it's just the planning stage, and you can discuss and brainstorm before the script is written. ”"Listening to Mr.
Wang's explanation, I have no suggestions.Regarding the investment amount and the specific contract, I will directly ask the person in charge of Hollywood Legendary Film and Television to talk to you.In a word, come on, shoot the culture and style of our Chinese people" Wang Hualin finished speaking and hung up the phone.And Roland and Miye, who had been eavesdropping on Wang Yong's conversation, still looked puzzled at first, but after hearing the words of Legendary Pictures, they immediately jumped up.Because Legendary Pictures is so thunderous.It owns well-known movies such as Warcraft, Godzilla, Batman, Pacific Rim, Inception, etc., and Roland has also worked with Legendary Pictures for a while."
Oh, oh, oh, I know, Wang called you the new boss of Legendary Pictures, he just bought Legendary Pictures, I even forgot that he is also from Huaxia, I finally understand why you and Chen Kai laughed like that just now.If I were replaced, I would have laughed like crazy" Roland was surprised and couldn't stop saying.Miel was completely stunned.He didn't expect that Wang Yong could still find such a giant to support the world's first cinema Wanda and Legendary Pictures, the combination of the two terms is enough to make all Hollywood filmmakers faint What rega, what director's union, it's all garbage Wang Yong put down the phone and said with a smile: "You have heard my conversation with Mr.
Wang just now, okay, now there is basically no need to worry about the theater problem."
I think Rega will soon make a compromise, after all, Rega is still a company with the purpose of making money, not a political organization.Now the only thing we need to worry about is the screenwriter, if it really doesn't work, I have a proposal, and the screenwriter will be a few of us together.Director Roland is familiar with Hollywood story routines, and Director Chen Kai and I are familiar with the oriental cultural structure, although it is not as good as those professional big-name screenwriters, but it is better than just looking for one"" and then take a look, it really can't be the only way. ”Roland nodded.As a veteran director, Roland knows the importance of a good screenwriter for films.Hollywood has developed for so many years and created many box office miracles, and the screenwriter has contributed a lot.The screenwriting experience accumulated in it is enough to make a book a book.It's really not something that a few half-outsiders can surpass.So if possible, try to hire a professional screenwriter."
Well, it's lunchtime.I'm in for a treat, let's rub it off" Wang Yong waved his hand generously and said.The worst fears have been resolved, and of course there is a need for a celebration.So Roland and the others responded enthusiastically and prepared to leave.It was only a few people who stood up, and suddenly heard a knock on the office door: "Boss, someone is looking for you." ”"Who's going to come in?"
Wang Yong looked at the door strangely and said.Then the office door was pushed open, and behind a Sword and Stone Pictures staff member stood a young man with slightly sloppy hair and a slightly pale face."
This is the gentleman."
After the staff finished speaking, they took their leave.The young man smiled at Wang Yong and the others a little crampedly, and walked into the office."
Good Mr.
Wang, good director Roland, good Mr.
Miye, good director Chen Kai."
The young man was quite polite and said hello to everyone in the room.What is a little surprising is that this young man who is proficient in spoken English actually knows Chen Kai."
You are from Huaxia" Wang Yong glanced at the young man and asked.The young man smiled embarrassedly: "Strictly speaking, I am Chinese.My grandfather immigrated to the United States at an early age, and I grew up in the United States, and my knowledge of China was limited to travel.In the future, if I have the chance, I would love to return to this long-lost home. ”"Oh."
Wang Yong nodded."
Then what are you looking for me" The young man seemed to remember the purpose of this trip at this time, took out a resume from his pocket, and handed it to Wang Yong: "My name is AV, and I also have a Chinese name Lu Wentao, which was given to me by my grandfather according to the ranking of family generations." ”Wang Yong took the resume, just glanced at it, and showed a surprised expression.Then Wang Yong passed his resume to Roland and others."
Such a rich experience" Miye was also very surprised."
The only pity is that I haven't blocked the girder alone, if there is, it would be quite suitable."
Chen Kai also sighed.Roland was noncommittal, but squinted at his resume, and suddenly asked: "The screenwriter of the Lost Ark Rogue Charles Sr. has a habit of drinking coffee, what is it" Lu Wentao didn't think about it, so he replied: "Drink half a cup first and then add sugar cubes." ”"How many ladies are there on the writing crew of Dragon Saga in total" "One, Miss Abby. ”"Liaoyuan Battlefield once crossed out a character's scene when I was writing the screenplay, what was that character called" "Sergeant Barnett, because his character was set to involve racial discrimination, so it was deleted. ”One question after another, Lu Wentao answered all of them fluently.In the end, Roland's eyes lit up: "He was all right, he did work as a screenwriter in the crews of these blockbusters, it's incredible, it's the first time I've met a screenwriter who has mixed so many blockbuster crews" Lu Wentao's resume is full of movie names that he has participated in screenwriting, but he has not served as the first or second screenwriter, and each film is ranked outside the five or sixth.This is the only regret and drawback.Wang Yong watched quietly, and suddenly interjected and asked: "Can you explain why you have participated in the filming of so many blockbusters, but you can only be ranked in the fifth or sixth place in the screenwriting team It stands to reason that if you have mixed so many crews, even if you are not popular, you will be famous."
It is impossible for someone like you to know so little. ”Wang Yong is worried that this Lu Wentao is a bastard, because he is too mixed, so he has never been reused.Lu Wentao's eyes showed a hint of gloom, and he shook his head and said, "It's very simple, because of my Chinese bloodline."
Hollywood will agree to an Indian or African to be the first screenwriter, but it will never agree to a Chinese to be the first screenwriter.The reason why I came to you this time, Mr.
Wang, is also because you are from Huaxia, and you may not look at me with colored eyes. ”Wang Yong observed Lu Wentao's entire expression when he spoke, eyebrows, eyes, lips, fingers, and his entire physical state.Eventually, it was confirmed that the young man was not lying, and that he was telling the truth.Otherwise, with his qualifications, he wouldn't have even been the first screenwriter of a movie.If he was really a bastard, there should be at least one example of his failure as the lead screenwriter, but the current situation is that there is none.It only shows that he has indeed been despised all the time.And his ability to continue to mix in so many blockbuster crews shows that he does have the ability to surpass most Hollywood screenwriters."
Please remove the word maybe.Sword Stone Pictures welcomes you," Wang Yong stretched out his hand and said with a smile on his face.In fact, from the moment he saw the resume, Wang Yong was moved by this young man.is not only because of the experience of the blockbuster crew, but also because of another reason.
