"Hello, Mr. Wang. Would you like to see me?" Although Wang Yong guessed something, he tried to keep calm.
Wang Hualin didn't have any extra polite words, but said straight to the point: "I've read your news. It's no exaggeration to say that I've met all the things you met. It's just that I couldn't help them before, but now it's different! "
Next, Wang Hualin doesn't need to be too clear, as long as people who pay attention to the international economic situation know. Wang Hualin's Wanda cinema acquired AMC, the second largest cinema in the United States, a few years ago. AMC acquired three European theaters in succession last year.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wanda cinema is already the largest cinema giant in the world. Regal is not enough to see Wanda!
"Miss Wang, I have arranged for someone to communicate with regal. If Regal still insists on going his own way, all films invested by Regal will be treated the same way by Wanda cinema Wang Hualin said in a deep voice.
Wang Yong couldn't help being moved.
Wang Hualin, this is just for Wang Yong and regal to split face.
If Wang Yong and Wang Hualin have friendship, they didn't know each other before this call; If there is no friendship, Wang Hualin has made such a sacrifice for Wang Yong.
It can only be said that although there is no friendship between the two individuals, they have a blood friendship. It's like walking in a foreign country. When you are thirsty, hungry and fall down, a Chinese will stand up to help you and give you water and food.
This kind of friendship usually does not show, but at the critical moment, it is true in adversity.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I don't know how to thank you. " Wang Yongdao.
Wang Hualin laughs: "if Mr. Wang really wants to thank me, take me to play."
Wang Yong is one Leng: "what meaning?"
"Wanda Group has been making investment in the film industry. I'm very optimistic about the idea of shooting Oriental Magic Movies proposed by Mr. Wang! Your team has Roland, the famous monster director, Chen Kai, the first person to use Oriental aesthetic color, and you, a master of Chinese culture who knows oriental culture like the back of your hand. I think that no matter how bad the films made by such a team are, they won't lose both at the box office and public praise, right? As long as you can get one, you will earn it! " Wang Hualin explained.
Wang Yong has heard a little about Wanda's investment strategy. However, Wanda used to focus on famous blockbusters. Unexpectedly, Wanda will also focus on Wang Yong's films which are about to start shooting on a whim.
"Don't worry, we're just investing and never interfering in any decision-making of the film. They won't force a star in or ask for brand promotion. " When Wang Hualin saw that Wang Yong didn't speak, he thought that Wang Yong was worried about these things and set up his own way.
"Mr. Wang is so sincere. What else can I say? Welcome Mr. Wang to join the project team of Shanhaijing Wang Yongdao.
"The book of mountains and seas?" Wang Hualin was slightly stunned“ Does Mr. Wang want to shoot Shanhaijing? As far as I know, this ancient book is just a geography book that records all kinds of myths. Is it a bit boring to make such a movie
"The reason why we use the name of Shanhaijing is that it has a very distinct representative significance in the oriental culture. Anyone who knows something about Chinese culture will think of those legends with strong oriental style when they see these three words, so it's easy to let people know what the film wants to express. Of course, facing the western audience, we will adopt another translation strategy, such as the key to time and space, which is more in line with the Hollywood style. If Mr. Wang has any good suggestions, he can also say so. Now it's just the financing stage. We can discuss and brainstorm before the script is written. "
"After listening to Mr. Wang's explanation, I have no suggestions. As for the amount of investment and the specific contract, I will directly ask the person in charge of Hollywood legend to talk with you. In a word, come on, take a picture of our Chinese culture and character Wang Hualin finished and hung up.
Roland and miyer, who have been eavesdropping on Wang Yong's conversation, are still puzzled at first. After hearing the four words of legendary film, they immediately jump up.
Because legendary film industry is really full of thunder. It owns the IP of Warcraft, Godzilla, Batman, Pacific Rim, inception and other well-known films. Roland once had a cooperation experience with legendary film industry.
"Oh, I see, Wang! I'm calling the new boss of legend pictures! He just bought legend pictures! I forgot that he is also Chinese. I finally understand why you and Chen kaigang smile like that. I'd laugh like crazy... "Roland was surprised and couldn't help saying.
Miyer was completely in shock.
He did not expect that Wang Yong could find such a giant support! Wanda, the world's first cinema line, and legend film are combined together to make all Hollywood filmmakers faint!
Regal, the director's Union, it's rubbish!
Wang Yong put down the phone and said with a smile, "you've heard my talk with President Wang just now. OK, now there's no need to worry about the cinema line. I think Regal will make a compromise soon. After all, Regal is still a company for making money, not a political organization. Now the only thing we need to worry about is the screenwriter. If it's not possible, I have a proposal that the screenwriter should be us. Director Roland is familiar with Hollywood Story routines, and director Chen Kai and I are familiar with the oriental cultural structure. Although we are not as good as those famous professional screenwriters, it's better to find one at random... "
"If you look at it again, it can't be done. That's the only way." Roland nodded.
As a veteran director, Roland knows the importance of a good screenwriter for a film. How many box office miracles Hollywood has created over the years has been attributed to its screenwriters. The accumulated experience of screenwriting, if written into a book, is enormous. It's really not something that a few laymen can surpass. So if possible, try to hire a professional screenwriter.
"Well, it's lunchtime. It's my treat. Let's have a meal! " Wang Yong waved his hand generously and said.
The most worrying problem has been solved. Of course, we need to celebrate.
So Roland and others responded warmly and were ready to start.
Just a few talents stand up, suddenly hear the office door is knocked: "boss, someone is looking for."
"Who? Come in, please Wang Yong looked at the door strangely and said.
Then the door of the office was pushed open. Behind a staff member of Jianshi film, there stood a young man with scrawled hair and pale face.
"This is the gentleman." The staff said goodbye.
And the young man was a little embarrassed to smile at Wang Yong and others and walked into the office.
"Good teacher Wang, good director Roland, good Mr. miyer, good director Chen Kai." The young man was very polite and said hello to everyone in the room.
It's a little surprising that this young man, who is proficient in spoken English, even knows Chen Kai.
"Are you Chinese?" Wang Yong looked at the young man and asked.
Young people are embarrassed to smile: "strictly speaking, I am Chinese. My grandfather immigrated to the United States very early. I grew up in the United States. My understanding of China is limited to tourism. If I have a chance in the future, I would like to go back to my home which has been away for a long time. "
"Oh." Wang Yong nodded“ What do you want to see me about? "
As if at this time, the young man remembered the purpose of his trip. He took out a resume from his pocket and handed it to Wang Yong: "my name is Alvin, and I have a Chinese name, LV Wentao. My grandfather gave it to me according to the family rank."
Wang Yong took the resume, just glanced at it, and he was surprised.
Later, Wang Yong passed on his resume to Roland and others.
"Such a rich experience?" Miyah was also very surprised.
"The only pity is that there is no one to block the beam. If there is one, it will be quite suitable." Chen Kai also sighed.
Roland is noncommittal, but squinting at the resume, suddenly asked: "old Charles, the screenwriter of treasure stealing, has a habit of drinking coffee. What is it?"
Without thinking about it, LV Wentao replied, "drink half a cup first, and then add sugar."
"How many ladies are there in the writing group of the legend of angry dragon?"
"One, Miss Abby."
"When the screenwriter of" battlefield of prairie fire "once crossed out the part of a character, what's the name of that character?"
"Sergeant Barnett, because his role setting involves racial discrimination, was deleted."
……
One question after another, Lu Wentao answered them all like a stream.
In the end, Roland's eyes brightened: "he's all right! He really worked as a screenwriter in these blockbusters! It's incredible! It's the first time I've met a screenwriter who's been involved in so many blockbusters! "
Lu Wentao's resume is all about the name of the film he participated in writing!
However, he did not serve as the first or second screenwriter, and every film ranked outside the top five or six.
This is the only regret and shortcoming.
Wang Yong quietly looked on, suddenly interrupted and asked, "can you explain why you have been involved in so many blockbusters, but you can only be ranked in the fifth or sixth place of the editing crew? It's reasonable to say that if you mix with so many drama groups, even if it's not a big fire, you'll be a little famous. It's impossible to know as little as you do. "
Wang Yong is worried that LV Wentao is a jerk. Because he is too jerky, he has never been reused.
Lu Wentao looked dejected and shook his head: "it's very simple, because of my Chinese blood. Hollywood will agree that an Indian or an African will become the first screenwriter, but it will never agree that a Chinese will become the first screenwriter. The reason why I come to see you this time is because you are Chinese. Maybe you won't look at me with colored eyes. "
Wang Yong observed LV Wentao's whole face, eyebrows, eyes, lips, fingers and the whole body.
Finally, make sure that the young man is not lying and that he is telling the truth.
Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would not have been the first screenwriter of a movie. If he is a real jerk, there should be at least one example of his failure as editor in chief, but now there is no one.
It only shows that he has been despised.
And he can continue to mix in so many blockbuster groups, which shows that he really has the ability to surpass most Hollywood screenwriters.
"Please remove the word" maybe. ". Welcome to Jianshi film Wang Yong stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
In fact, from the moment he saw his resume, Wang Yong was attracted to this young man. It's not only because of the troupe experience, but also because of another reason.
