Chapter 299: The 04 blockbuster movie is released!
Human potential is endless, and they cleaned up the filming location in two days.

Everyone in the crew was as happy as if they had been robbed.

There were several cars full of people, but not a single white person. If you didn’t know, you would think they had returned from a survival mission in the African wilderness.

Although the capital city is not cool enough in August, it is like heaven to everyone!
Just standing in the shade of the tree will make you feel much cooler.

The first big-budget movie of the year was also successfully released. Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" was released on July 15th.

Now that it has been released for more than two weeks, the box office has once again exceeded 100 million yuan, but it is still far behind "Hero".

The investment was even greater than that of "Hero", but the effect was not the same as expected.

Because of the death of Hong Kong Island's daughter, the role that originally belonged to her was directly cut off and the script was changed again and again.

With such a big scene and an uncomplicated story, it’s like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

This star-studded ancient martial arts drama is all about the love between three men and women. Zhang Yimou's purpose is self-evident.

His only thought is to win the Oscar, and now he has become a little crazy.

Maybe it’s because of losing the Cannes Film Festival that I’m a little obsessed with the Oscars.

However, Chen An knew that this was not the end. He continued his journey to win an Oscar, one film after another, until he parted ways with Zhang Weiping.

Maybe I was too old at that time and my children were not young anymore, so I no longer had the enthusiasm to help the family.

This year, apart from Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers", the real good shows are yet to come.

The main courses are Feng Xiaogang's already completed "A World Without Thieves" and Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu".

It can even be said that "Kung Fu" is the most dazzling this year!

It was almost the last starring role for the other party, and the subsequent "CJ7" could no longer be considered as the starring role.

And "Kung Fu" is enough to shine in the entire Chinese film industry, a perfect exit!
"What's more, I also want to get involved." Chen An muttered to himself while looking at the newspaper.

"Lost on Journey" has been completed. Chen Wei is working very quickly and it is now in post-production and ready to be released.

This year, Light Year Media produced only two works, and the rest were investments in "A World Without Thieves", in which it also holds a share.

Li Xiaoping also invested in some TV dramas.

However, this period of time was also a chance for him to take a break, as he managed to finish filming the two movies in a hurry.

He has become much darker, the same color as Chen Kun before.

As for Hollywood, the situation is also good. James Wan's "Saw 2" was also released, and the effect was better than the second part.

Lionsgate called to express their gratitude, and now that this film project has become a joint project between the two parties, Chen An doesn't mind.

They have the ability to distribute, so it’s not impossible to cooperate with them.

The other party both invested and issued the shares, and they will thank me in the future.

Don’t think that Hollywood movies don’t have to worry about distribution. In addition to strong financial resources and production skills, the most important thing for the Big Six in Hollywood is distribution.

The most interesting example is the movie "Young Hannibal" in which Gong Li was cheated.

As soon as the news came out, Warner Bros. acquired the distribution rights for North America and Asia Pacific for US$80 million. Even local films follow this model.

The issuance rights are divided among several giants, and industry insiders are optimistic about the project.

Gong Li originally thought she made a lot of money by starring in the film, but in fact she was cheated.

As an ordinary movie it is acceptable, but as a prequel to the classic film history "The Silence of the Lambs" it is totally unqualified, and in the end several major giants suffered huge losses!

Because the author and screenwriter of this series, Thomas Harris, didn't want to write anymore and felt that the series was over.

If he had written it again, it would have only damaged his reputation, but in the end he was forced by the copyright owner to produce "Young Hannibal", which became his swan song!
He never thought of writing a good story, and he went all out. Gong Li, who was starring in a Hollywood blockbuster for the first time, was taken away directly and kicked out of Hollywood!

"That's right!" Chen An clapped his hands when he suddenly thought of something.

This time, "The Martian" was specially sent to the United States to do the special effects, and the company that was hired was Industrial Light & Magic, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm.

Suddenly I remembered that Lucasfilm was on the verge of bankruptcy and was finally acquired by Disney. This kind of top special effects team is exactly what China lacks. Although I don’t have more than 4 billion US dollars to acquire Lucasfilm, Industrial Light and Magic under it is still very promising.

The other party has always been ahead in special effects CG technology, even after more than ten years. Chen An feels that this is still very promising.

At worst, we can buy some copyrights and then sell some shares of Hollywood's Lightspeed Pictures. There is still a good chance of taking over Industrial Light & Magic.

We will be leaving anyway, so we might as well get the technology first.

Although Lightspeed Pictures does not hold many copyrights now, with the upcoming "Saw" series, the "Hangover" series that has already been produced, and the "Insidious" series that it has already prepared.

There should be a lot of people interested in it, and the valuation won’t be low, so you can make a fortune!
And Lucasfilm is probably quite happy to get a lot of funds to run the already dilapidated company, but it is only a sub-department.

Chen An nodded and it was settled.

You can find him in Hollywood later. You already have a new mission. The Saw series has been a success. Find another movie to showcase your talent.

There’s nothing great about James Wan, but everyone who has used it knows that it’s just good to use!

I called Zeng Li and told her I wouldn't be going home for dinner as I had something to do at Huayi and to see how "A World Without Thieves" was going. I haven't been there to see it for a long time.

By the way, take a look to see if there is any goods you can buy. There are quite a few people inside, but unfortunately they are about to leave. You two brothers can't keep them, so I can help you stop some of them.

After all, we are all colleagues in the mainland film and television industry, and we are all respected people. They all listen to their agent and follow her. How embarrassed are we?
It's not just you, I feel embarrassed too, so I have to build good relationships now.

Well, I am quite optimistic about Shuangxue. Today I will start to build a good relationship with Li Xuexue. As the boss, I have to do it myself for the sake of the company. Otherwise, they will find that there is no difference between having me or not.

Summon Zhao Xiong and start!
The two Huang brothers were a little surprised by Chen An's arrival. They thought that a 10% investment would not be of much concern to the other party.

However, Chen An was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han, so he chatted with the other party for a few words and then stopped talking.

When we left, there was one more person in the car.

"Are you ready?"

Chen An, who was sitting in the back row, looked at Li Xuexue, who was sitting next to him, with great interest.

"Yeah." Li Xuexue didn't know how to start, so she nodded.

Chen An glanced at Zhao Xiong in front of him and understood. He had discovered the relationship between the two people a long time ago. With a press of his finger, the front seat and the back seat were separated.

Seeing that she was blocked, Li Xuexue consciously moved over and rested her head on the other's chest.

"The conflict between Sister Wang and the company is getting worse and worse. She will leave sooner or later. She is already looking for a new job."

"You're really tough. You didn't even hide it?"

"Both Mr. Huang know about it, but they don't seem to care."

Li Xuexue nodded. After returning this time, the conflict between the two sides was almost exposed.

"As expected of the number one agent in the mainland, he is tough in his work."

Chen An said with a smile.

He has a lot of subordinates and has changed jobs several times, with a large number of people following him.

From the perspective of a film and television boss, this is simply overbearing and courting death!
Although he and the Huayi brothers have a close relationship, they are in the same position and have separate management companies, unlike the Hollywood model.

This kind of thing is not allowed. If the other party plans to do it, it will be tantamount to rebellion for domestic film and television companies that want to control everything.

If this succeeds, the status will be completely different. As long as powerful capital enters the game, the status will be completely lost.

The reason why Hollywood actors dare to point fingers at the Big Six and curse them is because the pattern has already been formed. At this point, Chen An can accept the studio model, but he doesn't want to see something like CAA.

As a signatory of CAA in the United States, you naturally know how strong the foundation of this group of people is. You directly compete with Warner over your own pay, and Warner is still polite to you and will not complain at all.

On the contrary, the one that really hates it is CAA, and there is nothing that can be done about it. Almost all outstanding actors choose to sign with CAA first. It can also be said that all the actors are in their hands, or some directors are also in the process of signing, so they are naturally very tough.

And this is why they are so tough, they will do whatever they have to do just to help the contractor gain the greatest benefits, the six majors are all nonsense!
Just tell me whether you want an actor or not?

As a film and television boss, this kind of thing is simply unbearable.

People are so double-standard. Who told me to be the leader now?
