Text Chapter 1281: Movie
Jessie Zhou had a party today and booked out at the top bar in San Francisco. There's nothing to celebrate, just that he wants to have fun and get together by the way. There were a lot of people who came here, and they were all people who could get in with their faces. Zhou Jiexi was enthusiastic about those who could get in with his public relations consultant, and his connections were accumulated bit by bit.
Don't care if you are a friend or not, or if you come here for some purpose, it will always be useful for everyone to strengthen themselves. This is also one of the American cultures, and he adapted to it relatively quickly.
As for Zhang Ziyi's arrival, Zhou Jiexi didn't want to know too clearly. Her own face alone was enough for his PR team to issue conditions for the gatekeeper to let him go.
There are quite a few people from the Hollywood agency who came here today, and Zhou Jiexi couldn't understand what purpose these people came for. Not to mention that he is now the big boss of Lucasfilm, but that the giant sports group he owns is enough for those who regard customers as gods to curry favor with him as his father.
Of course, Zhou Jiexi is not so domineering and disrespecting God. For God, as a person of the Celestial Dynasty, regardless of whether there is something or not, a little respect can never go wrong. People earn a living, gods earn a living, there is no conflict.
Now the transformation of Hollywood agency companies is very powerful, and they are no longer satisfied with just serving stars, singers and movie stars. Sports stars earn no less than their original service groups, so several years ago Hollywood agents have also entered the sports world, which has expanded their interests.
With the decline of the dv market in Hollywood, the reduction of artist share, etc., and the reduction of profits, it is necessary to expand channels. Zhou Jiexi only knows a little bit about these things. Now that he is at the top of the pyramid, he doesn't need to pay too much attention to these relationships.
Their level is only at the level of the managers of his various teams, and they are not qualified for him. These people came here, and Zhou Jiexi had a chat with the agents of several players under his team.
After all, not to mention the composition of the big players of his nba team, they have used a lot of power to help operate, and their baseball team, football team, football team, etc. can also see a little bit of their shadow. The strength is not very strong, but it is useful.
Coming here to build a relationship with him is also to promote their players in the future. Now joining his superstar players has indeed received a lot of benefits. The Chinese market alone is more open than before. The boss is Asian, and the players also benefit a lot.
In addition, there are film and television stars under their hands, and there are real benefits to having a relationship with him. Recently, I heard that the two bosses of Lucasfilm intend to invest in the movies they want to make.
The plan is not that Lucasfilm will pay, but their own private investment and cooperation with Lucasfilm. This avoids the burden on Lucasfilm. After all, compared to the film industry, the two bosses are more famous for investment. Now this is just a matter of their own money.
"I heard that you and David Ellison plan to make a movie by yourself?" Zhang Ziyi asked casually while holding a wine glass.
Zhou Jiexi glanced at her, the envy and entanglement in the woman's eyes, he felt as if he could see it, but it just passed by. After thinking for a while, he still said: "With this plan, the Industrial Light and Magic under Lucasfilm is not operating at full capacity yet. David and I plan to expand it and train more people by the way. I can get it back The company of the Celestial Dynasty will use it, after all, it is more cost-effective than artificial labor."
"In addition, we have already planned to set up our own special effects company in India. We don't need good special effects there. The main reason is that the market is big enough. We should invest some money there and see if we can earn some money back."
"So, we need some core personnel to lead some people to study and make movies at the same time!" Zhou Jiexi explained, this is just to make himself not appear so ostentatious, in fact, these words are ostentatious.
"I'm going to make a movie with Chinese characteristics. I haven't decided what to shoot. Anyway, special effects need to be a bit big. I'm going to try to get 100 million dollars to see if it makes money. Besides, I have to shoot it no matter what. an effect I like."
Zhou Jiexi carefully left her behind, it's such a braggart, how could he never be the one in front of his ex-girlfriend again. It has to be awesome, and it has to be low-key and extravagant. The woman's expression didn't change much, he could only say that his acting skills were amazing.
Reluctantly, Zhou Jiexi looked at her, and Zhang Ziyi continued to look at him as if listening carefully. Zhou Jiexi sorted it out, even if he didn't have any special ideas in his mind, he was just talking about this matter casually with David and some friends, and he hadn't decided when to do it.
"I haven't made any plans for the specific issues such as cost recovery, but there is no need to worry about these. There is nothing else in the world. There are many screenwriters. It is very easy to find a good idea and make a movie. The most important thing is that I don't know. Can it make money!"
"Hehe..." Zhang Ziyi smiled and said, "You Zhou Jiexi is so rich, why are you afraid of losing money?"
Of course, Zhou Jiexi couldn't accept what she said, and looked at her seriously and said, "It's not a question of not being afraid of shooting. As a businessman, I don't want to regret losing money in my business career." , At least until now, my investment has remained profitable. A winning streak is also a good sign, isn't it?"
"Okay, you're right!" Zhang Ziyi looked at him seriously and said, "Why, do you think about working with me then!"
Zhou Jiexi was about to blurt out just now, of course there was no problem, but he stopped immediately, who to play? There is no shadow of the play yet, let's determine the actor first, although it is an ex-girlfriend, but there is no need to involve a hundred million, right?
"Hehe, of course, I am looking forward to being able to cooperate with you, Miss Ziyi. But I don't know much about movies, and there will be producers and directors at that time. You know, I have always done professional things for professionals. Yes!" After saying this, Zhou Jiexi immediately said again: "But sister Ziyi, you have a great advantage in foreign markets, and I feel good to be able to cooperate with you. It's a great honor!"
Zhang Ziyi looked at him, as if she wanted to see through him, and finally smiled slightly, and said, "Then I'll just wait!"
Dealing with the matter of his ex-girlfriend, Zhou Jiexi felt that it was not easy. After all, it was his own fault, and the other point is that he has no desire to go back to sleep with her, so this good thing needs to be considered again.
But it really provoked some addiction to Zhang Ziyi with a few words, to make a movie that I want, a movie that I want? What is it like? Xian Xia? Myth, fantasy?
Is the big production the same as your own Star Wars? If someone can make up a fictional Star Wars, why can't he also create a fairy tale war? Just come to a future world, so that the sci-fi flavor is also there.
Then began the end of the world, the new world. All kinds of self-cultivation skills and so on came out, and then the battle began. The enemy can do anything, such as aliens, giant ships, alien fleets, and so on.
After thinking about it, he realized that his brain had become a bit big, and he didn't know if this thing would become popular in the European and American world. Movies made from original scripts are not that popular with audiences in Hollywood, and the market is unlikely to be as popular as comic book adaptations or novel adaptations.
"Perhaps we can consider setting up a team of online writers and screenwriters. These people have big brains, and they are more realistic, and can more objectively consider the needs of the West and the East!" Zhou Jiexi thought of such a group of people, and everyone knew something about it. That is, the affirmation of the nation can only be the nation's. If you want to become the world's, the difficulty is not ordinary.
After thinking about it for a while, he found nothing else, and he realized that his brain hole was quite big, but the result was not very good. What he hated most about reading novels in his previous life was that the authors of the novels said that they found Internet authors to be screenwriters, filmed online novels and made movies, and they all got a lot of money.
Of course, this is not impossible in the future, just think about it. In the past, Marvel and DC were not the same as those online novels in China now! At that time, it was already able to make money, but it hadn't developed such popular effects as it is now, such as movies and TV shows.
But with the maturity of technology and the maturity of consumer groups, Marvel's new profit point was born. There are no good comics in the Celestial Dynasty. With the popularity of mobile phones, the novel fast food that has become popular is the same as the comic fast food that was popular in the United States in the past.
So in the future, those online literature websites will inevitably become a Marvel and DC.
You must know that in the previous life, those tomb-robbing novels that Zhou Jiexi liked were all filmed into TV dramas and movies. Among them, because of the improvement of technology and the conscience of the production cost, the effect of this movie is very good. Just like Marvel's Spider-Man, it opened up a whole new era of Marvel.
These tomb-robbing novels have also opened up a new era of online novels. There are also more and more online novels, those Gongdou and the like, are all involved. It is definitely only a matter of time before other fantasy novels enter the market.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiexi also made a plan. Buy the film and television copyrights of some promising novels first, and then your own domestic companies can use them, and your foreign companies can also use them. After the founding of the country, there can be no ghosts, and there will be no so many restrictions abroad. When the time comes, and it becomes a Hollywood production, maybe it can be done.
Because of the idea, Zhou Jiexi became more kind when he saw the people in the brokerage company. If he needed it in the future, he must have a need for the cooperation of these people. These people need to communicate more.
