Chapter 642 Is This Person Messing Up?

China.

Jet Shen looked at himself in the mirror.

He found that he didn't know when he had grown a beard.

He hesitated to pick up the razor, but in the end he didn't shave off his beard.

The bright sun shone on his face, and he felt a burst of heat and annoyance in June, but more of it was an inexplicable relief.

Today is his thirtieth birthday!

Yes, he is thirty years old now.

Same age as Fatty Wei.

In the past, his position made Fatty Wei envious, but now, he can only look at Fatty Wei's back and sigh.

After he had won the Best Director Award for the second time, Jet Shen found that he was a running companion from beginning to end.

The dream that he once thought he was the most powerful new director of this era was completely shattered at that moment.

turn out to be

Fatty Wei has preempted his dream.

In this case, he should have been aggressive and angry.

But

After looking at himself in front of the mirror, he suddenly felt nothing again.

After a period of trance, Shen Lianjie suddenly found that he had lost some immaturity in his twenties.

The once youthful and aggressive, rebellious, coupled with jealousy and other small emotions slowly began to dissipate.

Afterwards, he lowered his head and flipped through the news about Lu Yuan in Hollywood on the table.

The photo of Lu Yuan in the newspaper does not look like a successful person, but he is simple and simple, like an ordinary person who is ordinary to the extreme.

If he wore a school uniform, some people would believe that Lu Yuan was a college student who had just left society.

Such a person turned out to be Shen Lianjie's unforgettable nightmare, and even existed like a demon who would wake up from his dreams.

do not know why,

Shen Lianjie suddenly wanted to laugh.

He was beaten by Lu Yuan for almost three years.

He was almost beaten to a mental breakdown by Lu Yuan.

However, from this moment on, Shen Lianjie suddenly admired Lu Yuan a little bit.

admire?

Yes, it is admiration.

Lu Yuan is different from other people. Lu Yuan came out of the grass. Maybe there are many geniuses like shooting stars who left bright rays of light that pierced the night sky and then dissipated. But Shen Lianjie knew that Lu Yuan was not a shooting star.

Not only is he not, but he is a star.

A star that radiates eternal light.

Such a stunningly talented and stunning character can only be the protagonist in the novel.

After feeling emotional for a while, Shen Lianjie sat quietly on the chair and looked out the window slowly.

Coincidentally, he saw a few flowers blooming outside the window.

Those flowers looked beautiful, and at the same time, Jet Shen knew that these flowers were fragrant.

He looks down.

Silently took out the phone

Then he shook his head and put it in the drawer.

But then, he took a deep breath and continued to pick up the phone.

After doing this repeatedly for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to take out his phone.

"President Xu"

"What's wrong?"

"My new movie, Dream Space, can I chat with overseas theaters?"

"Huh? Overseas theaters? Director Shen, most of the movies that have been able to get out of China recently are top domestic big productions. Although your dream space is not bad in terms of quality, you may not pay the bill. After all, apart from the dream traveler, The company's films are basically in a state of failure overseas6”

"Yes, I'll trade for Mikos"

Xu Cancan on the phone from "Migos" hesitated for a while, then nodded silently, "No problem, but I have received more than a dozen calls like this today, how about this, you make a movie resume, I will pack it and send it to an email let's go."

"it is good!"

Shen Lianjie nodded, and was puzzled at the first moment.

More than a dozen such calls?

But this doubt only lasted for a moment.

It is not easy for Huaxia movies to go overseas, and it is even more difficult to play them in Laomei.

In the past, Laomei always rejected Chinese movies. Except for a few top Chinese productions, other movies were basically rejected.

Although it is undeniable that most of the Chinese movies have been thrown into the street since they left the Chinese mainland.

But it is undeniable that there are still a few movies that sell well.

There are even some movies that can't get out of China, and there are a few that really should be very suitable for the United States.

only

Because there is no channel.

Many movies have been blindly rejected by overseas, and the pearls have begun to be dusted

This was the case in previous years.

But this year, that seems to have started to be different!

Yes!

It's different!

When Huaxia's entertainment company learned that Lu Yuan had his own theater chain in the United States, and that the theater chain was flourishing, many Huaxia directors and companies must have been tempted.

After all, even if it is only in the United States, even if the box office is huge, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, right?

No matter what, everyone hopes to have a chat with Lu Yuan.

After thinking about this level, Shen Lianjie looked out of the window again.

He felt a little dazed again, and at the same time became more emotional.

Before he knew it, he was no longer at the same level as Lu Yuan.

No, even Fatty Wei now can only look up

Wu Shirong officially started to help Lu Yuan manage the Migos Cinemas.

At this moment, Migos Cinemas has completely established a management system.

Wu Shirong began to manage the exterior of Migos Cinemas, while Irene took care of the interior of Migos.

The two do not conflict.

Eileen naturally has no opinion.

Other cinemas more or less have three or more other shareholders, but Migos Cinemas has only two shareholders.

One is her and the other is Lu Yuan.

Of course, she only holds a small part of the shares and has no right to speak.

In other words, Lu Yuan has the final say on all company system arrangements.

As long as Lu Yuan doesn't do something excessive, it's impossible for her to disagree.

Hollywood.

"Remote" entertainment.

June 25.

Wu Shirong knocked on Lu Yuan's door.

"Mr. Lu here is an application for 30 Chinese movies. Among these 30 films, there are many Chinese companies who hope to have a long-term cooperation with us. What they mean is that as long as their movies can be played in overseas markets, It doesn't matter if the first movie is free." Wu Shirong looked at Lu Yuan.

"Angkor, from your point of view, what do you think of these movies?" Lu Yuan pondered for a while.

"In my opinion, some of these films are indeed in line with American aesthetic standards. Although they cannot be popular in the United States, at least they will not lose money at the box office. Given the current situation of our theaters, they can indeed be considered," Wu Shirong nodded.

"Well, Angkor, how about this, since the theater chain is responsible for all the outside affairs, then you can choose these movies, if you think which movie is suitable for our theater chain, you can choose which one "Lu Yuan looked at Wu Shirong.

"Boss Lu, the power you give is a bit big, aren't you afraid that I will do something secretly?" Facing Lu Yuan's gaze, Wu Shirong suddenly laughed.

"Angkor, I believe in you."

"Haha, let's go! I'll screen out a few that I think are suitable and then review them for you." Wu Shirong suddenly felt a warm feeling.

"Um."

"By the way, Mr. Lu, what do you think about the buyout price?"

"Huh? Buyout price?"

"Yes, overseas distribution of Huaxia films is basically based on buyouts"

"Well, if Huaxia really has a good movie, then we'll share it, 40% to 60% to us, 40% to them, well, the extra 10% is operating expenses."

"Huh? Share? It doesn't seem very beneficial to us. If there is a movie, yes, I mean, if there is a movie that becomes popular overseas, we may lose a lot of money."

"Angkor, there is no disadvantage"

"President Lu, this doesn't seem like you"

"Um?"

"Based on what I know about you, you have never been a person who will suffer." Wu Shirong looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously.

even

Feel a little strange.

"I am from Huaxia. I know that it is not easy for Huaxia films to expand overseas channels. Although it is undeniable that there are many bad films in Huaxia movies, it is undeniable that there are also many good movies that lack the opportunity to go out of China. We need to give them opportunities. At the same time , I think it’s reasonable to share money to make money, everyone has money to make money, after all, you will die if you eat too much alone.” Lu Yuan smiled.

""

I am from Huaxia.

A ray of sunshine shone on Lu Yuan's face.

Wu Shirong looked at Lu Yuan's serious expression.

After he heard Lu Yuan say such a sentence seriously, Wu Shirong suddenly felt a slight shock in his heart.

then

He nodded complicatedly.

this moment

He felt an indescribable sense of identity from Lu Yuan.

Time passed day by day.

After the uproar of director-hopping incident bombed a wave of Hollywood headlines, it returned to calm.

Barring some deeply ingrained circumstances, the ever-changing Hollywood is easier to forget than any country.

After all, Hollywood is big.

Every day some well-known stars stand out, and every day there are top stars who are gradually depressed due to various reasons.

This circle is like that.

There is no doubt that most people think that Andor and Thomson will fade like those top stars.

There are too many examples of such job-hopping failures.

Of course, it is not so much that they are not optimistic about the two directors Thomson and Andor, it is better to say that they are not optimistic about "remote" entertainment.

after all

There has never been a Chinese company in Hollywood that has been able to grow big, and it has never been seen in the past history.

Behind the things of tolerance and peace, there are more or less things of rejection and distrust.

Of course, if you really think about "remote" entertainment, you will definitely feel that the "remote" system is starting to be different.

Columbia has completely settled with "remote".

Columbia's new movie Seal Girl has officially appeared on the posters of Migos Cinemas. At the same time, some small productions from other film and television companies have also begun to try to cooperate with Migos Cinemas.

Migos Theaters has been rejected by all entertainment companies at the beginning, and now it is gradually accepted by Hollywood companies. Although not all and no other seven major Hollywood companies have recognized it, in a sense everything is moving in a good direction develop.

You said that there are few types of movies in Migos Cinemas?

Do not!

There are not many types of films in the Migos Cinemas, not only not many, but in terms of genres, the types of movies released in June by the Migos Cinemas faintly surpass those of other Hollywood cinemas.

Why?

It's easy!

Because the master behind Migos is Lu Yuan.

Behind Lu Yuan stood Huaxia.

No matter how rubbish Migos is in Hollywood, it is still a Hollywood movie!

How many films from Chinese companies want to be shown in Hollywood but have no channels or means?

Although most of those movies are small-budget and small-produced, there are still many excellent high-quality movies.

They need a chance.

The appearance of Lu Yuan officially gave them a chance.

end of june

July gradually approached.

The legend of the chainsaw is still going on.

July 15th.

Saw aired for exactly one month.

a month's time.

Saw just passed $90 million at the U.S. box office.

officially broke the record for the highest-grossing horror film.

If there are no accidents, in the next five days, Chainsaw can officially break through 100 million at the box office, becoming the only movie in the history of horror films to break through 100 million US dollars!

After the chainsaw created a terrifying record, another movie brought from Huaxia suddenly became popular in Migos theaters.

Although it did not reach the exaggerated scene of the chainsaw, it was still full of seats.

Two days later, the film quickly entered the top ten positions in major film forums in the United States.

The heat gradually began to increase crazily.

The directors of several theater chains in the United States initially had an attitude of watching so many Chinese films introduced by Migos Cinemas.

They are more or less prejudiced against Huaxia movies.

However, when they saw the popularity of the movie, they were all stunned.

The movie is called Dream Space.

It's a work directed by Shen Lianjie

Then they immediately contacted Joaquin from Shen Lianjie's company.

but

When they learned that the film was signed with Migos, everyone was stunned.

Everyone stared at Lu Yuan as if they had seen a ghost.

They suddenly found it difficult for them to accept the division of Huaxia Films.

this person

what are you doing?

are you crazy?

Not making money anymore?

Is this going to cause trouble!
