Chapter 786 Want to Kill Someone

Paramount held a reception ceremony the next day, attended by people from the MPAA and Paramount executives.

The scene was carefully decorated, with many Chinese movie posters hung up.

Especially the movies directed by Jiang Wen and Hao Yun, basically all of them were included.

Of course, Jiang Wen has very few movies, and he has only made a few in so many years, most of which are Hao Yun's movies.

Just for their reputation, Paramount President Brad Grey personally came out to receive them.

Brad Grey is also the producer of "The Departed".

In Hollywood, the status of producers is very high.

When Brad Grey saw Hao Yun, who had starred in "Infernal Affairs", he had a good chat with Hao Yun.

It was An Xiaoxi who felt bored.

She and Hao Yun played outside until very late last night, and got up so early in the morning, so it was inevitable that she was a little sleepy at this time.

This was an official event, and although the list was drawn up by Hao Yun, no one brought an assistant, and An Xiaoxi, who was just making up the numbers, was naturally no exception.

Hao Yun was worried about her staying alone in the hotel.

He took her with him wherever he went.

"It should be a good attempt to cooperate with Paramount this time. I have great confidence in Paramount." Hao Yun glanced at his dozing girlfriend.

"Haha, I remember the first time I met you was at the Berlin International Film Festival. I actually wanted to cooperate with you at that time." Paramount President Brad Grey said with a smile.

In fact, if Hao Yun was just a great director or a top actor, he would not take him seriously.

He is the president of Paramount.

He fired Tom Cruise last year.

It is said that one night, when Brad Grey left the headquarters office and walked towards the parking lot, more than a dozen people surrounded him. They put pressure on Brad Grey and told him to be more respectful to Tom Cruise.

At that time, Paramount was negotiating with Tom Cruise's film production company on the list of "Mission Impossible 3".

After a brief negotiation, these uninvited guests let Brad Grey get in the car and leave.

Although Brad Grey said he was not frightened afterwards, he had already made up his mind: Tom had to leave, there was no other way.

Brad Grey valued the fact that Hao Yun had a film company.

And he had the ability to make independent films, which gave him a very good position in the Chinese film market.

This was very important for Paramount to enter the Chinese market.

And Hao Yun was very enthusiastic about cooperating with Hollywood film companies, and even the Sino-US film exchange was initiated and promoted by Hao Yun.

After chatting for a while, Brad Grey saw that the beautiful girl next to Hao Yun was almost a sleepyhead, and he knew that he couldn't talk about anything else, so he finally stated his purpose:

"Paramount hopes to have deeper cooperation with bb in more areas!"

bb is the English abbreviation of Black Bean Media.

"Co-production?" Hao Yun immediately understood.

"Yes, there are too few quotas for introduction. If we can make a co-production every year, I think we will cooperate more happily." The president of Paramount said with a smile.

"There are many restrictions on co-productions." Hao Yun originally planned to make "20 Again" into a co-production, but in the end, it failed because of time constraints.

"Yes, but there is always a way." Brad Grey is a veteran in the business world, but he still can't see through Hao Yun's mind. In theory, shouldn't this man beg for cooperation?

Why is he so cold about co-productions?

Is he really determined to follow Li An and James Wan to enter Hollywood?

"In fact, it's not that there are no co-productions, but the box office results are too poor. This road is thankless. My Black Bean Media is not strong enough and can't withstand the project risks."

Hao Yun shook his head, as if he was really not interested in co-productions.

Because the review of co-productions is more stringent, it must also require certain Chinese elements. Basically, they interpret Chinese culture with Hollywood's understanding. In addition, the director selection is more likely to invite Hollywood directors. The result is predictable. Anyway, there has been no profitable movie.

It can be said that on the road of failure, co-productions have been very stable.

The co-productions with Hong Kong and Taiwan are OK.

It's not really a co-production, because we are all Chinese, and there is no barrier to understanding Chinese culture.

"There is no business that can succeed from the beginning. Every road is explored. Failure is the mother of success. If there is a risk, we at Paramount can bear it first."

Brad Grey actually wanted to complain that the Chinese government's protection of local films is a bit morbid.

It's a pity that such words cannot be said on an occasion like today.

He is under great pressure to be in charge of Paramount. Before him, Hollywood strong woman Sheri Lanxin had controlled Paramount for 12 years. Because of the sluggish performance, she was criticized by the industry for lack of adventurous spirit and was forced to step down.

If he can't make a good enough performance, the boss of Viacom Group behind Paramount will not give him face.

Since Hollywood has entered a white-hot stage, finding a way out has become a life-saving medicine.

"Then let's try it later." Hao Yun agreed reluctantly.

Failure is the mother of success, but it's a pity that success doesn't recognize relatives.

However, he was originally planning to cooperate with Paramount, and now Paramount was begging him, which was naturally the best outcome.

After chatting for a while, they reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

Then the film exchange began.

Perhaps because they valued Hao Yun and Heidou Media in his hands, and hoped that the cooperation with Heidou Media would become an opportunity for Paramount to enter the Chinese market before other Hollywood film companies, Paramount really invested a lot this time.

They carefully designed a rich curriculum, and the lecturers included producers, Paramount executives, directors, etc.

The lectures were mostly based on specific film cases, such as using "Paranormal Activity" to introduce the entire process of low-cost horror films from creativity, production to publicity and distribution.

The highly successful "Transformers".

And "Iron Man" which is being released by Paramount.

Hao Yun listened to the lecture of Paramount executives on the stage carelessly.

An Xiaoxi covered her mouth lazily and yawned a little: "I want to sleep at noon..."

She is just an actor, and she really doesn't like being a director or making a movie, and she doesn't understand it.

So, even though she has done so many projects with Hao Yun, she has never been a producer or anything like that.

"Then I'll accompany you in the afternoon." Hao Yun replied in a low voice.

"Aren't you coming to class?" An Xiaoxi followed Hao Yun to play, just because she was reluctant to part, and she didn't intend to drag Hao Yun down.

"It doesn't matter."

Hao Yun casually pulled the attributes, and then chatted a few words, and he could get other people's things.

There is no need to go to class like ordinary people.

Besides, these people's lectures are too shallow.

It's not that what they say is useless. For mainland directors, it still has some effect.

It's just that they obviously have a hand, and what they say is mostly superficial.

This is unavoidable. Even if the president of Paramount asked them to speak well, they can completely disobey in secret.

Who doesn't work these days?

How can you teach others how to make a living?

"Then let's go back to sleep!" An Xiaoxi couldn't accept the days without naps.

"Sleep together?" Hao Yun's eyes lit up.

Tears of emotion almost flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"You... you are such a bastard." An Xiaoxi cursed, but in fact she was not angry at all, and there was some faint joy in her heart.

Actually...

It's not impossible to sleep together.

After the morning class, Hao Yun asked for leave on the pretext of feeling unwell. With his current status, neither the people from the Film Bureau nor the people from Paramount would have any objections.

The performance of the president of Paramount today was almost like sworn brotherhood with Hao Yun.

This is one of the six major film companies in Hollywood.

Even the one ranked at the bottom of the six is ​​still one of the six.

What's more, Brad Grey, who just took office in 2006, snatched DreamWorks, founded by Spielberg in 1994, from Universal for $1.6 billion.

At the same time, Paramount also reached an agreement with DreamWorks Animation, which had been spun off from DreamWorks two years ago, to be responsible for the distribution business of DreamWorks Animation films until the end of 2012. DreamWorks Animation is the most profitable animation company in Hollywood.

Last year, Brad Grey led Paramount to release two IP sequels, "Shrek the Monsters 3" and "Star Trek", and with the debut of "Transformers", Paramount returned to the top of the six after many years.

It can also be said that this is a Hollywood top boss chatting and laughing with Hao Yun.

They don't know that Brad Grey wants to find someone to make a co-production, and he has other purposes for making friends with Hao Yun, so naturally he values ​​Hao Yun more.

The two elementary school students who skipped classes went out for a meal and then went back to the hotel to sleep.

Mainly An Xiaoxi sleeps, Hao Yun doesn't take a nap.

He has to revise the script, and there are still a few scripts in his hand that have not been completely perfected.

"I'll work in your room. The security here in Miguo is not good. It would be bad if someone breaks in." Hao Yun said seriously.

An Xiaoxi was a little dazed.

Let's not talk about whether Miguo is safe or not. Someone breaking in is not a big deal.

She has also lived in Miguo for many years.

However, she is not afraid of Hao Yun staying in her room. She even wants Hao Yun to hold her to sleep.

That will definitely make her feel very safe.

"What do you think? If you don't want to..." Hao Yun is righteous like a gentleman.

"Stay wherever you want. I'm going to sleep. You can't kiss me secretly." An Xiaoxi got into bed and took off her coat and other things under the quilt and threw them aside.

"Tsk, you really think too much." Hao Yun curled his lips.

If you want to kiss, I'll just pounce on you and kiss you. Why do you want to kiss secretly? My girlfriend, why do you want to kiss secretly?

"Hmph~"

An Xiaoxi snorted, hugged a doll and closed her eyes.

Then...

fell asleep.

Although Hao Yun had seen it a long time ago and had also taken advantage of An Xiaoxi's sleepiness, he still felt shocked.

Falling asleep so quickly, are you a pig?

Hao Yun took out the script and outlined the changes on it.

The script in his hand is "A Simple Life", and Hao Yun has not yet decided how to modify it.

The script tells a touching story of "special mother-son relationship" between Roger, a young master who grew up in a large family, and Tao Jie, a domestic servant who has taken care of him since childhood.

The background is not difficult to handle.

Although it is a new society now, there is no such thing as servants and masters.

But in fact, wealthy families often hire nannies.

An Xiaoxi's family has several regular nannies, some specializing in cooking, some specializing in gardening and sanitation, and even one who takes care of the family pets.

Add to that the assistants and drivers around her, and An Xiaoxi's family is simply a replica of the ancient landlords.

It's just that everyone is in an employment relationship.

It's a two-way choice, and there is no distinction between master and servant.

There are quite a few in Hong Kong, and there are actually quite a few in the capital and Shanghai. There are nannies in wealthy families who have worked for 10 to 20 years or even longer, and there is actually no difference between them and family members.

Of course, if Hao Yun comes to shoot, he will definitely put the background in Hong Kong.

Even if there are in the mainland, it can't be said.

After all, it's a new society, and this is a feudal remnant.

One of the points that Hao Yun is more entangled with now is whether to change the script to a double female lead drama.

That is, the male lead "Luo Jie" is changed to the female lead Luo Jie.

Simply put, it is to modify it so that An Xiaoxi will be the female lead, and find an old lady to play with her.

An Xiaoxi usually only shoots two dramas a year, and this year will be the same if nothing unexpected happens.

One of the movies this year is "Your Name".

If "Sword Rain" is not filmed, there will be one more missing, and it will be no problem to match this "A Simple Life".

Hao Yun is not worried that others will say he is a dog-licker.

Others want to lick his woman but cannot, but he can lick her as he wants.

Thinking of this, Hao Yun looked back.

Even with his psychological quality, he immediately lost his composure.

The air conditioner was turned on in the hotel room, and the temperature was a little high, so An Xiaoxi kicked the quilt.

She just took off her coat and everything, and now she is only wearing underwear.

Her sleeping posture is not elegant at all.

From Hao Yun's perspective, he can see that the arc of her snow-white neck is like a piece of beautiful jade, extremely delicate and extremely seductive.

The beautiful snow-capped mountains and ridges, from a distance and close, are all beautiful scenery that cannot be concealed.

This witch wants to kill people!
