Chapter 59 Whoever touches him will be in trouble. Whoever is caught will be punished.
Chen An called all the film studios.
There are no plans for a new film at the moment, but we can collaborate if there is a chance.
It never hurts to have good relationships, and today's major film studios are still the backbone of the film industry.
Moreover, Chen An really has no idea of making a new film. After the filming of "My Sassy Girl", Chen An has been in an idle state.
Learning English, waiting for the movie to be released, now waiting to collect money, waiting for the funds from the theaters to arrive.
For now, I’m thinking of saving some money to invest in the Internet and keep some for retirement.
When I have nothing to do, I hang out with Jiang Wen and attend classes. In short, I'm just a hanger-on.
I also went online to see the praises from netizens about myself, and the haters just blocked them, which made me feel good.
"Hey, young Chen, do you remember me?" While concentrating on writing his graduation thesis on film, Chen An received a call from the other side of the ocean.
"How could I forget? Jerry, why did you call?" Of course Chen An remembered him, the North American buyer of "Run Lola Run".
Jerry from Warner Bros. in Hollywood, the contact information the two left with each other last time.
Jerry on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised to hear Chen An's now fairly fluent English:
"Oh, Chen, it seems that you have decided to come to Hollywood, the kingdom of our world's movies. You have learned English well!"
"Of course. A green dollar is the most beautiful thing in the world, isn't it?"
Chen An responded by expressing his love for the US dollar.
"Of course. Not only you, but I also think that is the most beautiful thing. After all, she is so damn attractive that people can't take their eyes off her, hahahaha."
Jerry on the other end of the phone also felt that Chen An was right.
Chen An knew that the other party was not calling him to chat with him:
"Hey Jerry, thanks for helping me sign up for the Hollywood Guild. Thanks for helping me sign up for the script. I think I'll be heading to Hollywood soon."
"Chen, I knew you would come. I've seen your latest movie, it's really good and successful. I'm already looking forward to our cooperation, hahaha."
Jerry on the other end of the phone got the answer he wanted and was in a good mood.
There are also many factions within Warner, and if he can discover an excellent director, he will be able to go further.
He always thought that Chen An was an excellent director. He was originally just amazed at his genius shooting ideas, but he didn't expect that this new movie would also have good progress in terms of technique.
He is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
"Hahaha, thank you for your compliment, Jerry. I have another movie that has not been released yet. I will contact you after it is released. I think we will have a perfect cooperation."
There was no need to continue the awkward conversation, so Chen An and Jerry discussed the time and planned to go to Hollywood after "My Sassy Girl" was released.
After getting the time, the person on the other end of the phone did not continue the conversation:
"Then let me congratulate you first on your new movie and hope it will be as successful as before, although I think you need to take your talent to Hollywood as soon as possible."
After saying that, he laughed for a while and the other party hung up the phone.
He put the phone on the table, lit a cigarette, and stopped writing his paper.
There’s no rush, just write anything you want, since you’re the author anyway.
Hollywood?
Chen An thought about it in his mind.
Nowadays, there is an endless stream of domestic investors looking for cooperation, including some film studios.
If "My Sassy Girl" was as successful as it was in his previous life, Chen An couldn't even imagine that his small company would be filled with people.
It can't be stuffed in.
It would be nice to go to Hollywood and get some peace and quiet at that time.
But Warner is a very mysterious company, famous for only looking at the account books and not the script.
"The Matrix" is a typical example. A blockbuster of this level cost more than 10 million to shoot.
If the Wachowski brothers hadn't given him a big gamble and he had used the money to shoot some clips with good results, Warner would have been helpless in the end.
He had to pay another 60 million yuan and finally finished the film.
Otherwise, it would be a question whether this movie can be successful or not.
Of course the result was good. "The Matrix" was a huge success both in terms of word of mouth and box office.
The bullet time in the movie has become one of the classics in film history. To be honest, Warner Bros. has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. The fact that it has been around for so long without going bankrupt can only be attributed to its good fortune.
However, Chen An had no other choice. Since Warner came to him, it was the best choice.
The post-production of "My Sassy Girl" has also been completed and is now in the review stage.
After that, everything is ready, except for the east wind.
By the time the boat had passed through thousands of mountains, the Titanic did a backflip.
This is definitely a trend, but only Chen An knows about it, no one would have thought of it.
A love story from abroad set a box office record of 3.5 million yuan in China, which was not broken until ten years later.
As for love, it is something that people both at home and abroad love to watch. It is a common thing.
Even a single person can watch a love movie to their heart's content.
It's just magical.
As Chen An thought about it, his thoughts became more and more deviant, and he couldn't help laughing, as if he remembered something.
"Never mind. I'll go to Hollywood after the movie is released. I'll expand the company after Brother Han has completed his evolution." Chen An thought about it and felt it was a good idea.
It’s not that I won’t cooperate with you, but I certainly can’t cooperate with everyone. I can then distribute it privately.
You can choose a few production studios to cooperate with, after all, you can also learn about their distribution channels.
By the way, he also packed up and took in some behind-the-scenes staff from the film studios, especially those from the Xi'an Film Studio, which made Chen An drool.
Although they come from the system, their abilities are very strong, especially the several great artists from Xi'an Film Studio.
Since these people started to leave gradually after the rise of private issuance, they have to leave anyway, so it's good for them to come here.
By then, with the support of China Film Group, in that turbulent era, it will be no worse than Huayi.
After figuring it out, Chen An turned around and started writing his paper again.
Get this done first, and then you can go straight to Hollywood.
By the time Chen An's film was approved, news that "Titanic" was about to be released had also spread.
This box office miracle, which has been topping the North American weekly box office, is coming in full force and its release date has already been confirmed.
The film will be released in domestic theaters on April 4, and theater chains across the country have purchased copies in large quantities.
Planning to make a fortune, he arranged a super high filming in advance.
I hope it performs as well as possible so they can get more share of the profits from imported films.
"Brother Chen, the film has passed the review and now we need to arrange the release date." Han Sanping didn't care much about "Titanic".
The only thing on my mind is "My Sassy Girl", and I hope it can be as successful as "Little Forest".
"I think the National Day is great. The holiday is long and I can avoid watching "Titanic." Chen An's idea was very simple, to avoid "Titanic" first.
He didn't want to be smashed to pieces. Whoever touches this ship will be in trouble. It's like this all over the world.
Even if Chen An racked his brains, it would be difficult to find anything that could compete head-on with this movie.
Han Sanping was somewhat surprised that Chen An was so optimistic about "Titanic": "You are so optimistic about this movie that you are afraid before the movie even starts?"
"This movie has been the weekly box office champion in Hollywood and has never come down. I would be a fool to challenge it head-on."
Although he is afraid, Chen An will certainly not admit that this is my roundabout strategy and there is no need to confront the opponent head-on.
"The best that can happen is just over 100 million, just like that Schwarzenegger movie." Han Sanping didn't think the other party was that powerful.
Although it is a Hollywood movie, the domestic market is like this. How great can you be?
"I haven't seen it enough, and I think it will win big at the Oscars this year, so let's release it later, during the National Day holiday." Chen An felt that he had to rescue it.
If you don't take "Titanic" seriously, it's only natural that you will be smashed to pieces. This is the case all over the world.
Including Hollywood, all those who were originally pessimistic about this movie were slapped in the face!
The movies made in the same period were all messed up, and it can be said that even Hollywood's movies were the worst.
You don’t need to add either one.
I really feel that two chapters is my limit
