Four days later, in the morning, in the office building of Illia Entertainment.
William Wang met the film director who had flown all the way from the United States.
An Englishman who looks quite handsome, but if you don't explain it, he is more like an actor than a director.
Although William Wang was not very positive when he learned about this investment from the succubus last night, he still showed considerable respect when he really faced the director.
This man is a good hand at making science fiction movies.
This is the information that the succubus introduced to him about the director last night.
Although William Wang's concept of "science fiction" is completely different from that of ordinary people, he understands that this person's ability to take dreams as a creative point itself means that this person has ideas.
Because he asked for leave from the crew, William Wang was not in a hurry, but just took the script from him and read it carefully.
And the English gentleman who looked gentle and elegant didn't mind that when William Wang read the script, there was a cat standing on the back of his chair.
What's more, the cat is quite pretty.
"Dream implantation is not like this."
After reading the script, William Wang smiled and said to Director Nolan, who was looking at him with a calm face.
"You know what it's like?"
"Of course."
William Wang nodded, "But what do you think......
It's funny. ” "Thank you."
Director Nolan obviously didn't believe William Wang's words of course.
"The investment in this film is 1.6 billion dollars, which is not a small number."
William Wang said lightly to director Nolan, "In my opinion, the investment in this film should not exceed 120 million." ” "If you use computer special effects to do some of the scenes in this movie, you can control this number."
When Nolan heard William Wang's words, his expression became serious, and he nodded and said, "But I want most of the scenes in my movie to be live-action shots, not computer special effects."
This is also my personal shooting habit. ” William Wang nodded, noncommittal.
"Of course, from the perspective of cost control, this will increase some costs, but in terms of time cost, it can save a lot."
Nolan hurriedly added, "For example, a movie shot by a director I know has not been released until now because of the use of a lot of computer special effects.
Personally, I'm not very much in favor of this behavior, so I prefer to try to be as realistic as possible. ” William Wang still nodded, still noncommittal.
"The director of District 9 is my friend."
Nolan saw that William Wang still didn't speak, so he could only speak again, "When he introduced you to me, he said that you are an actor with very superb acting skills, and your views on many issues are very in-depth, I invite you to participate in the investment and production of this film, in addition to the part of the funds, in fact, there are also some people who want to hear your suggestions on the script."
If you are interested, you are also welcome to join in the creation of the script. ” Meow.
The cat barked.
"Master, you promise him!
I can tell him how dreams are implanted.
It must be much more reasonable than he thinks now.
The succubus cat said.
"I can invest."
Hearing the words of the succubus cat, William Wang couldn't stop talking, and said to Nolan with a smile: "But I hope there can be some oriental elements in this movie......
"Well, Neil told me."
Hearing William Wang's request, Nolan didn't seem surprised at all, "As a producer who does not interfere in film shooting, can give full support to the director, and is also an expert, your request is not a problem."
I'll give you a role in the movie. ” "It's not my problem."
William Wang thought for a while, "I would recommend that you arrange a female character in the movie......"
"Female characters?
Who is it?
” "Actress from my company."
William Wang is thinking about Liu Renna or Jiang Sula, if it is a child's role, Yu Shengyan or Pei Xiuzhi can also do it, "You don't need a lot of scenes, a line or something, it's okay." ” "That's fine."
Nolan agreed very simply, "What do you think of arranging for the big guy who forced the male protagonist to carry out dream implantation as a person with an oriental face?"
In this way, his subordinates can arrange quite a few people. ” "Yes."
William Wang recalled a little and nodded.

"So that's it?"
Nolan smiled.
"For details, I will arrange for the president of our company, that is, the general manager, to talk to you!
Including things like signings, that's how District 9 goes.
"William Wang is going to end the conversation."
However, he is not here today, and he will not be able to return home until tomorrow at the earliest.
You can choose to stay in the city for two days. ” "No problem."
Nolan smiled and nodded.
"I'm curious about a lot of things in the East."
The two stood up and shook hands.
Fast forward and another three days passed.
Although the succubus cat is a cat, when it has to do something, it can always show some of the characteristics that it once had as a plane leader.
For example, superhuman mobility.
The reason why Li Zhina was not in China when Nolan came to visit was because he went to the island country.
And the reason why he went to the island country was that after William Wang read the email and promised to help him read the script, in order to thank the owner for taking care of him, in three days, relying on the computer keyboard, he successfully connected the famous bookstore group Kadokawa and Illia Entertainment in the island country, so that a comic was put on the agenda in the form of a plan.
As another bridgehead for Dreacatcher's development strategy in the island nation.
Although Kadokawa is not as outstanding as Shueisha's weekly manga weekly magazine compared to the weekly magazine of the witcher manga that is being serialized, this is not just a manga, but a project.
Illia Co., Ltd. set up a person, money, and Kadokawa out of the platform and deal with the relationship between the island nations, and the two parties jointly launched a complete set of plans based on the concept of "two-dimensional idols" in Kadokawa's signature manga weekly.
The intention to include follow-up peripheral products was also proposed: three to four two-dimensional Japanese albums, six to eight concerts, operated by illia, and Kadokawa was responsible for local promotion......
Just three days.
And Li Zhina, while marveling at the succubus cat's connections and work efficiency, also paid a lot of attention to this project.
On the same day that I received the confirmation news, I flew to the island country and signed relevant agreements and intentions.
Of course, the reason why it was able to do so quickly may also have something to do with the fact that Illia Entertainment didn't think about how much money it made from this project from the beginning.
Money is not an issue, so what else can be a problem?
You know, Kadokawa is also somewhat related to William Wang's followers......
Ahem, well, this last sentence may be the fundamental reason why things went so smoothly this time!
After signing a cooperation agreement with Kadokawa, Li Zhina directly found EMI Records, which had been pushing and pulling before, to discuss the issue of record agency for the future development of Dreacatcher in the island country.
And before, because I couldn't see the development potential of the group of artists in the Illia company, and seriously speaking, compared to Girls' Generation, there is still a lot of gap in the influence of the three groups of ondergirls and kara who debuted in 07, although Illia Entertainment is very active in cooperating with EMI to promote DREAcatcher in the island country in the future, but EMI is not particularly enthusiastic.
It's just that after seeing that Illia has already signed such a package with Kadokawa, they also realize that if they continue to drag on, it is very likely that Illia Entertainment will turn to SN Records......
Anyway, people already have a plan, they just need an agent, and it really doesn't matter if it's Momoyo or SN.
As a result, the development intention contract was signed at the speed of light.
Dreacatcher will officially release a Japanese album in the island nation in 2010, and this year, they will have a fan meeting in the island country at an appropriate time in the second half of the year.
Depending on the specifics of the meeting, Illia and EMI will confirm the benefits of Dreacatcher's activities in the island nation, whether the two sides will receive a 91 or 73 split......
If you already have a lot of fans, then you have the right to negotiate and give you thirty percent.
But if you have little influence in the island country, then it is enough to give you an achievement.
Such a very real and cruel situation can be accepted by both sides.
After returning from the island country, Li Zhina met Nolan, who had been waiting for him for two days in S City.
The boss has already finalized that there will be no more problems, and even, in the past two days, William Wang has completed his own fundraising, and put 200 million US dollars in the name of credit loans into the account specially prepared for the ninth district: it is not that William Wang has to go through the process of this wave of loans, but because the current Illia Entertainment has 49 shares of CJ Group.
The agreement between Li Zhina and Nolan was signed very smoothly, and the preparation of the crew began immediately, and Li Zhina will also go to the United States to do some similar supervision work as he did during the filming of District 9 before.
It's just that before going to the United States with Nolan, he still had something to say to William Wang, who was filming in the crew of "Splendid Legacy".
"I promised to go back to Dreacatcher's meeting in the island country, and you will go too."
"Why?
What am I going to do?
” "Go be a host!
And you're not too well-known in the island country!

To strengthen the children's courage and support the scene, if there can be one or two thousand fans on the scene, then we have a lot of confidence in negotiating with Momoyo.
They can't tell if it's your fan or the kids' fan. ” "Am I not low-profile?
Has it been advertised?
” "Isn't it good to have your big posters everywhere in Ginza!
You say there are fewer people who know you?
” "But I'm filming this side!"
"So my main task when I came to the crew was to ask the director how long you will have to shoot this film.
Let's see if you can stagger the itinerary on that side. ” "It's not appropriate to rush the director, right?
Anyway, last week, our ratings were almost 40, and now the whole crew is serious about their work, it is said that the director of the TV drama department of SS TV station has spoken, if we can exceed 50 ratings, the bonus of the whole crew will be doubled according to the contract signing fee. ” "So arrogant?
Aren't you equal to a salary of 40 million for one episode?
” "What a pride!
It's only 40,000 dollars, and the money for a movie is enough for me to shoot until I die, and I can't earn it back. ” "Probably can, right?
1600 million, 4,000 episodes, 2,000 weeks, and that's just 40 years......"
Li Zhina counted with his fingers.
And then he laughed to himself.
"But it doesn't matter, after all, the pattern on this side is so big, and the crew and TV station have done their best."
Wang William said, glancing at Min Changho.
"Hyo-joo and I may have additional rewards, it seems to be a promise of incentive travel or something, but it's not decided yet, I should discuss it with Min Chang-ho on the other side......"
"It's negotiating, but the incentive trip will be there if it's 45 ratings.
Probably because they were afraid of putting too much pressure on their bosses.
Min Changho hurriedly explained.
But the specific details have not yet been agreed, after all, no one expected that the ratings would jump from 20 to 40 in only ten episodes. ” "That's right......
So it's been three months since you filmed it in March, isn't there only 28 episodes in total?
Haven't finished filming yet?"
"If it is on file at the end of April, it will be released in July, how can it be so fast!"
William Wang glanced at Li Zhina, "No matter what, I have to shoot until the end of the month."
Wait patiently!
” "It's no problem at the end of the month, anyway, I'm going to the United States, and I don't think I'll be able to deal with things in a week or two, and I won't be able to come back."
Li Zhi smiled evilly.
"But why do you feel so reluctant to make this film?
Is it because of Han Hyo-joo?
” "Yes!
When I was with her, I felt like time was passing very quickly......
That's right.
William Wang clapped his hands, "I chatted with Han Xiaozhu that day, she didn't seem to be very satisfied with her current economic company, and she would take over any work, and her agent seemed to have some thoughts about her, and she always wanted to have something to do with her, she was very annoyed when she refused, but there was no way to ...... for a while."
"You're going to stand up for her?"
Li Zhi was stunned.
The evil smile on his face was gone.
Silly.
Aren't you just a partnership?
How does this feel......
Hey, does Kim Taeyeon know?
