Chapter 1680 Film and Television Layout Continued Part Three

From the moment Guo Tailai nodded and agreed to the huge investment, James felt like he would die for his confidant. It was a feeling of being recognized and trusted professionally, which was very touching. At this moment, James had only one idea, according to G's request, to make the best of this film that has been conceived for many years using new technology.

Annie is also very satisfied, the boss is very concerned about her opinion as the shareholder and CEO of Artisan Entertainment. Although he agreed to invest in James, he still promised to recruit partners, and between the lines revealed that he wanted to set up an IMAX theater in China. Is this planning to do it with the theater chain?

The only one who was not so calm was Lin Jiayi. For an investment of 600 million US dollars, the boss actually nodded directly, which is quite risky. However, Lin Jiayi did not sing against Guo Tailai at the meeting, and she also agreed with what Guo Tailai said. In movies, James has never disappointed any investors. Even "Titanic", which made many people unwilling to cooperate with him, didn't it make a lot of money?

"Boss, would it be risky to invest 600 million US dollars at once?" Lin Jiayi only asked this question when she was alone with Guo Tailai after the meeting.

"There are certain risks." Guo Tailai admitted with a nod, of course he can't be sure: "However, the investment in some people is still worthwhile."

Lin Jiayi nodded, not to be too entangled in this issue. More than 700 tons of gold, if you don't find various channels to spend it, it will be a waste to put it there. If others lost 600 million U.S. dollars, they would be hurt, but when Guo Tai came here, he was just learning a lesson. What's more, there is a great possibility that you won't lose, so why worry too much?

Anne has a new mission to contact the interested companies among the top seven Hollywood companies and ask them if they have any ideas about investing in James' new drama. I believe that after James finished "God Walk", there must be many investors interested in James' new drama who have contacted James publicly and privately, but at least half of them will be frightened by James' investment of 500 to 600 million US dollars . Guo Tailai is now willing to share some investment to win the cooperation of one or two big companies, which is also a necessary means for smooth sailing in Hollywood.

Although Guo Tailai has a little friendship with the bosses of the top seven in Hollywood, these capitalists understand that friendship is friendship and business is business. This is also the reason why Guo Tailai did not directly purchase the copyright of Spider-Man from Sony Columbia. He would rather go around and let the Rockefeller brothers do it than do it himself.

Personal friendship may be possible in China, but it is certainly not common in foreign countries. There is no doubt that the most solid alliance is an alliance of interests. Guo Tailai did not intend to rely on Artisan Entertainment to challenge the entire Hollywood, so an alliance with one or several "big guys" is inevitable. Joint investment and common interests are the most effective means.

Of course, domestic Guo Tailai will not forget, so under the reminder of Lin Jiayi, Guo Tailai first called the friend he knew, actress Li Li.

"Sister Li, do you have a schedule for the next year?" After only three or five rings, Li Li quickly answered the phone, and the two greeted each other. Guo Tailai didn't exchange much greetings, and asked straightforwardly. According to James' plan, live-action shooting will take about a year, and the remaining years will be used for special effects. So what Guo Tailai directly asked was the one-year schedule.

Li Li is currently not filming, and is currently participating in the filming of a variety show. She has just finished filming two sections and is taking a break to prepare for the next scene. The director is about to call action when the assistant rushes over with the phone. Li Li told the assistant that once a call from Guo Tailai came, it must be delivered to her immediately, no matter what she was doing. Li Li hurriedly stopped and picked up the phone.

"A one-year schedule?" Hearing Guo Tailai's question, Li Li was taken aback, but immediately realized: "Fatty, you need a schedule, and you have to have it if you don't have one! I'll immediately stop all subsequent work. You don't have to either." Find someone else, if you have any requirements, just ask."

While talking here, Li Li immediately turned her head and told the assistant: "Xiaofang, immediately stop all subsequent work arrangements, and tell the company not to accept dramas for the next year."

The voice was not high, but he didn't cover the microphone either. Guo Tailai could definitely hear it. Assistant Xiaofang was taken aback here, but didn't dare to ask any more questions, and immediately went to make arrangements.

"Okay!" Guo Tailai heard Li Li's voice on the phone, smiled and said: "That's it, then you have to make a surprise oral English, don't have to dub it then."

"What's settled?" Li Li and Guo Tailai are also old-timers, and they are more casual. They know that Guo Tailai takes care of themselves, but they have to ask clearly, right? Immediately asked quickly: "What kind of opportunity is it? You have to tell me clearly!"

"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear." Guo Tailai apologized and said, "My company in the United States is a new film invested by Artisan Entertainment. Director James, with a tentative investment of 500 million US dollars, female first or female second. The project has been approved And it’s ready to start. Let the agent negotiate the film salary. During the preparation period, you’d better have a quick shot at English. The shooting time is estimated to be about a year, depending on the shooting plan. However, this film pays more attention to special effects. The second female lead may not be as brilliant as ordinary movies, you can read the script first, if you really don't like it, I will replace it with someone else."

"Okay, I got it." Li Li suppressed her heart that was about to go berserk, and finished speaking calmly. After hanging up the phone, she sat on a chair, and suddenly her face turned red with excitement. His body seemed to tremble slightly, and he couldn't speak for a while.

With a huge investment of 500 million US dollars, James, who ranks first and second in the world's box office film history, will be the director, the first or second female lead. I am afraid that all the female stars in the world will not refuse this opportunity, right? Focusing on special effects, the heroine may not be brilliant, so what does it matter? The point is, just like the singer Tian Fei, she has taken the first step towards the world! And it's still such a big debut stage, aren't you happy? Why not happy? How many people are rushing forward and don't have this opportunity!

The on-site variety show director answered a phone call after watching the movie, and the situation was a little bit wrong, so he quickly paused and let everyone take a break. But he heard it, the actress turned down all the subsequent jobs, what happened?

While talking, Li Li's phone rang again. Li Li looked down at her manager's phone and took a deep breath before Li Li picked up the phone and put it to her ear and pressed the call button.

"My aunt!" As soon as the call was made, the agent's voice came out: "Why did you suddenly push back all the work for the next year? There are a few announcements that are all good relationships. How can I explain this? what?"
