Chapter 1075： scammer

Harvey Weinstein is down, but his team is still there.

His younger brother, Bob Weinstein, led Dimen Pictures to join Warner Bros.

Warner also obviously attached great importance to the giant team of this independent film company, and handed over Warner Independent Films, an independent film company under Warner Bros., to Bob Weinstein.

This year's Cannes, David Ellison's "Air Combat Heroes" became the biggest joke.

At the same time, the ancient costume fantasy blockbuster "Promise" from China has become the biggest winner!

Although "The Promise" only brought part of the film, not even half of the finished film, the beautiful special effects and kaleidoscope-like color rendering brought great shock to film critics and media people in Europe and the United States.

Bob Weinstein led his team and made the first move decisively!

To buy out the North American copyright!

The asking price is as high as 25 million US dollars!

The upfront deposit alone is $1 million.

This will be the most expensive non-Hollywood film of all time!

Even higher than Lao Mouzi's "Heroes" and "House of Flying Daggers"!

Director Chen Da also became popular in one fell swoop. After "Farewell My Concubine", it was once again popular in Europe and the United States and became a popular favorite in the Chinese film industry.

The production cost of "The Promise" is only 15 million US dollars, and the pre-sale of copyright in East Asia alone can make this part of the money back. The $25 million buyout fee for the North American copyright is a net gain.

This incident also caused a series of chain reactions.

Originally, Laomouzi's mind was shaken. In his heart, he didn't really want to make a purely commercial film like "The Golden Armor of the City", which was restricted by producers everywhere.

He had even thought about it, going to Hollywood to seek refuge with Dunn, and filming a kung fu-themed American drama to warm up and familiarize himself with the environment. Then look for a bigger career space and complete a personal breakthrough.

The chief director of the 2008 Olympic Games has been decided, and it is him.

This is something that represents the dignity and glory of a country. Whether it is public or private, he must do his best.

However, the news from Cannes made him unable to calm down.

"The Promise" actually sold for a higher price than "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers"!

Who is the number one director in mainland China?

The position of the top spot is unacceptable!

In particular, after the news that "Wuji" sold at a high price came out in China, another big director, Xiao Gangzi, couldn't hold back. He also planned to make a costume drama and go to the European and American markets to make a lot of money. I heard that he was going to adapt Shakespeare's " Hamlet.

Crisis is everywhere!

The sudden accident immediately changed Lao Mouzi's step-by-step thinking, his ambitions inflated again, and he set his sights on "Golden Armor in the City".

Through this film, he wants to prove that he is the leader of the mainland film market!

For this reason, he also made a special call to Dunn to express his apology.

After Tang En heard about it, he persuaded a few words, but to no avail, so he could only express his blessings.

O heart!

Hollywood producers really grasp the greed and desire of human nature in great detail.

There are many reasons why the North American copyright of "Promise" can be sold for a sky-high price of 25 million US dollars.

In addition to "Heroes" and "House of Flying Daggers" which are popular in North America, a new film "Kung Fu" by Zhou Xingxing is currently being released in North America.

The market is doing very well.

If the North American box office of "Kung Fu" can exceed 40 million US dollars, it proves that there is still a great demand for this type of Chinese-language films in the North American market.

If the North American revenue of "Kung Fu" fails to meet expectations, and the box office market of "Promise" in Asia and Europe does not reach the height of "Hero", then... Warner will not be able to take over the order anyway.

Hollywood has already mastered the means of capital operation, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand the routines.

$25 million?

Wrong, the deposit is only $1 million!

$1 million, buy a half-year advance, a big gamble.

The market is good, and the transaction continues.

The money we earn together.

If the market is not good, stop your losses immediately!

All that Warner lost was a $1 million deposit.

Not only "Wuji", but also South Korea's "Taichi Flag Flying" has also eaten this kind of routine.

Rejecting a film is not just a commercial act, it has also become a Hollywood culture.

"Give you a chance but don't. It seems that you are destined to miss out on Hollywood."

Dunn shook his head, somewhat helpless.

Among Chinese directors, only John Wu has truly entered Hollywood with his own style and achieved great success. Ann Lee is also very successful, but he has achieved success in Hollywood in the style of Hollywood, and there is no obvious Chinese film feature.

After John Wu's defeat, Laomouzi had a good chance of succeeding. He even stepped in with half of his foot, but in the end he chose to dominate his own acre of land.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Very rude.

Just this one action, Dunn can guess, it must be Taylor Swift.

Sure enough, she saw her holding Lily Collins's hand, her pretty face blushing with white, and she rushed in angrily.

Tang En quickly got up, walked over, put his arms around them, and said with a smile, "Who made you angry again?"

Taylor said angrily, "Don, someone is bullying Lily!"

"Huh?" Tang En was startled, his face slightly condensed, "What's going on?"

Taylor is also number one.

Lily is even more incredible. Her father is the legendary British singer Phil Collins, and her mother is the chairman of the Hollywood Women's Club in Beverly Hills. She is well-connected.

Who dares to bully her?

Lily said a little embarrassedly: "It's no big deal, Taylor is just making a fuss."

"No!" Tyler glared at her with some hatred of iron. "You are a big idiot. You were almost deceived! Humph! Dunn, are you critical?"

"What's going on?" Dunn frowned.

Lily didn't speak.

Taylor said: "Didn't Lily starred in "Hunting"? After gaining some fame, she received a lot of invitations for the weekend party in Beverly."

Tang En immediately became serious: "Many of those parties are very irregular, so you can't mess around!"

Lily said quickly, "I didn't mess around. I told my mother and she agreed."

Even her mother agreed, it must be a very formal social party, what else could happen?

Dunn is very puzzled.

Taylor said angrily: "At the party, many people approached her... It's not a big deal, but one person has ulterior motives! Lily, say it yourself!"

"No need..."

Lily was a little reluctant.

Tang En's face turned serious, and he said solemnly, "What's the matter? Does anyone dare to hit you? Don't you know you're still a minor?"

He thought that there was a man coveting her beauty.

Lily quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, it's not a man, it's a... a woman and an actor in the circle."

Dunn was even more confused.

What ulterior motives can a woman have?

Doing Lala?

Lily said: "She asked me if I wanted to be better and become a better woman, and of course I said yes. She said...and she introduced me to a women's equality organization, which has a special organization for women. There are also many elite ladies in training courses. Everyone can learn together, discuss together, and improve together.”

"Women's equal rights organization?"

Dunn blinked and frowned.

Why is this argument so familiar?

Taylor hurriedly said, "What kind of non-profit organization for women's equal rights is it? In my opinion, it's a scam, it's a scam!"

Lily retorted, "Didn't you say, there is course training, you have to hire a teacher if you want to take a class, and it will definitely cost money. That elder sister is very nice, with a very kind attitude, not like a bad person."

Tyler was speechless, gritted his teeth and said, "You are really a rich lady, do you understand the sinister truth of the human heart? Who still writes good and bad conduct on their faces? Even if the training courses cost money, they can still spend 100 Ten thousand dollars? Crazy?"

Lily said innocently: "As I said, it's a public welfare organization. It needs to provide free courses for many poor people. And I just... I'm not short of money, so naturally I have to pay more to help those poor women and let They have the opportunity to take classes to improve themselves."

Tyler slapped his forehead, collapsed directly, and said speechlessly: "Lily, I think you were so well protected under the shadow of your parents that you didn't understand the real social environment at all. You can also make such a ridiculous statement. Letter? Since it is a non-profit organization, why don’t teachers do charity? Why don’t they teach for free?”

While Tang En was pulling one, he took the two of them to rest in the office area. Hearing their chattering quarrel, he suddenly thought of something.

On that night two days ago, he was a guest at Larry Ellison's house, and his precious daughter, Megan Ellison... How similar is it to Lily Collins at this time?

It is also a women's equal rights organization!

It is also a huge joining fee!

Is it the same group?

"Lily, what's the name of the actress you mentioned?"

"Alison Mack."

Dunn's eyes tightened.

Sure enough, it was her!

"Have you acted in Smallville?"

Lily Collston was stunned for a moment, a little dazed, "You know her?"

Tang En sneered, "I didn't expect such a fraudster to appear in the entertainment industry!"

"Fraudster!"

Hearing Dunn's words, Tyler jumped up excitedly, blushing, and said excitedly, "Dawn, you say she's a swindler? So, I'm right?"

Dunn smiled and stroked the smooth hair on her forehead, and said with approval, "That's right, Taylor has grown up, it's great!"

Tyler shook his head happily, not complacent.

Lily's face became bitter all at once No...not like that, she looks good. "

Taylor snorted softly: "I've said it a long time ago, a young lady like you has never experienced the cruelty of the real society. The real wealthy and famous ladies have to leave the family's protection and become self-reliant at a very young age, so that they can grow up healthily."

Lily was very unconvinced: "I'm healthy!"

Taylor scolded her, "It's also an idiot!"

With tears in her eyes, Lily snuggled into Tang En's arms aggrievedly, pouting her lips pitifully, looking for comfort.

Dunn laughed, lowered his head and kissed.

Girls, there's nothing wrong with being stupid.

Little Taylor is just too smart.

However, this matter... it's not over!
