Chapter 295 Sell, must sell (7K chapter, please subscribe~)



Inside the hotel where Chu Huan lives.

Kelly danced to the music in a black lace pajamas.

As a result, there was a knock on the door at this time.

Chu Huan, who was sitting on the sofa, and Kelly, who was standing in front of Chu Huan, both showed impatient expressions.

Don't worry about him, the drunk person probably found the wrong room, let's continue!

Chu Huan didn't want to be distracted at this time.

Kelly didn't want to either, so the music continued and Kelly's dancing continued.

But the person outside the room had no intention of giving up at all, and continued to knock on the door. Chu Huan frowned. If he was drunk, Qin Peng and others should have already taken him away by this time?

Just when Chu Huan was suspicious, Li Xiaolong's voice came from outside the door.

A Huan, open the door!

have to!

Knowing that there was no way to continue, Chu Huan patted Kelly's calf in front of him. Kelly glared at the door angrily, then picked up her coat and went to the bedroom.

Chu Huan stood up and opened the door, and it was indeed Li Xiaolong standing outside.

Why did it take so long to open the door?

Li Xiaolong muttered and walked directly into the room.

Do you have guests here?

Seeing the two glasses of red wine on the coffee table, Li Xiaolong asked Chu Huan curiously.

Chu Huan shook his head, and said angrily, Why is it so late?

Li Xiaolong immediately said excitedly: A Huan, you played so beautifully, Ted called me today, I hope I can persuade you, don't be so impulsive!

Li Xiaolong has been sculpting the script of Dragon Warrior for the past few days, and held meetings with Yuan Hua and others to discuss the shooting content.

I don't know much about what's going on outside.

If Ted Ashley hadn't called Li Xiaolong today, he wouldn't have known about it!

Chu Huan still asked angrily: So you killed me in the middle of the night just to tell me about this?

Li Xiaolong said happily: I'm happy, I made that Ted Ashley so arrogant before, but now it's better, I've seen how amazing you are!

Chu Huan smiled, and said, You are not very conscientious as a lobbyist!

Li Xiaolong said: I'll be a lobbyist for him when I'm free. I'm here to tell you, A Huan, that I've won your right to invest in Dragon Warrior!

Speaking of this, Li Xiaolong said with some regret: But that vampire, Ted Ashley, only gave you 10% of the investment share!

Although Chu Huan almost jumped his feet in anger at Warner Bros., but now the situation is stronger than others. Ted Ashley understands that if he still wants to maximize his own interests, then invite Chu Huan to join again. The rank of the producer is much more cost-effective than Chu Huan selling his own investment share!

So in desperation, Ted Ashley could only find Li Xiaolong, hoping that Li Xiaolong could talk through Chu Huan.

10%? Chu Huan chuckled after listening, and said, That's really generous!

Li Xiaolong really persuaded him this time: Although 10% is a little less, I am very confident in the movie Dragon Warrior. One million more dollars!

Chu Huan looked at Li Xiaolong and asked, Brother Long, do you think I'm short of those millions of dollars?

Li Xiaolong's expression froze, and he understood what Chu Huan meant.

So A Huan, you still want to sell this investment share?

Chu Huan nodded resolutely and said, That's right, Ted Ashley thinks that if he donates a 10% investment share, I can thank him begging for mercy?

Hearing what Chu Huan said, Li Xiaolong knew that it was impossible for this matter to turn around.

He said with some regret: It's a pity, I thought our two brothers could continue to cooperate!

Chu Huan smiled: Didn't you say that after the contract with Warner Brothers is completed, the two of us will establish a film company in Hollywood, and we will naturally be able to cooperate at that time!

Li Xiaolong said aggrievedly: But does he want to cooperate with you now!

Chu Huan felt chills for a while: Stop it quickly, is there anything else? If you don't have anything to say, let's go!

Isn't it too heartless for you to let him go when he just arrived? Li Xiaolong asked funny.

Chu Huan felt a chill, and said, Have you ever seen a fist the size of a sandbag?

Li Xiaolong laughed, got up and said, Then I'm leaving, let Warner Brothers regret it!

Chu Huan sent Li Xiaolong to the door. Li Xiaolong stopped suddenly and said to Chu Huan, Do you have anything to do the night after tomorrow?

Chu Huan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, No, what's wrong?

Li Xiaolong said: I know you like playing basketball very much. Tomorrow night, my apprentice's Bucks will play a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. I invite you to watch the game!

NBAlogo male vs. Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

It's time to watch this match, Chu Huan nodded and said, Then call tomorrow afternoon!

Li Xiaolong smiled and said, Then it's settled!

Afterwards, Li Xiaolong left Chu Huan's room.

It was impossible to continue the music, and it was impossible to dance. Chu Huan opened the bedroom door and saw Kelly lying on the bed.

After the wind stopped and the rain stopped.

I didn't expect Bruce to have such a good relationship with you! Kelly said softly, leaning on Chu Huan's arms.

What are you thinking? Chu Huan asked with a smile, enjoying the feeling brought by the bumps.

Kelly said: Judging from the reactions of these major Hollywood studios, it is not difficult to see that Bruce's style is very popular in the North American market. If Bruce's contract with Warner Bros. ends in the future, can he be signed to What about Vertex Pictures!?

Although Kelly thought before that with the current influence of Vertex Pictures, it would be impossible to have any influence on Warner Bros., but now seeing the relationship between Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong, she still feels that Vertex Pictures can fight for it. After all, Vertex Pictures Since the industry is a Hollywood film company, it is more convenient to negotiate with Warner Bros.

That's why you don't trust Spielberg? Chu Huan asked with a smile.

Kelly said seriously: Spielberg's ability is now a question mark. Rampage and Jaws are two completely different types of movies. In Hollywood, the first movie was successful, and the second movie was successful. There are countless directors who have hit the street, but Bruce is different. His film style will not change, and with the success of his first Enter the Dragon, as long as his second film in Hollywood maintains the same level as Enter the Dragon The same, then he will not rush to the street.

Chu Huan understands that this is the same concept as writing online articles in later generations. If the first book becomes popular, it does not mean that the second book with a different theme will definitely become popular.

But if your first book becomes popular, and you write the same type of web articles in the second book, basically your grades will still be maintained at the same level.

Li Xiaolong's movies have been said countless times before, as long as Li Xiaolong's own salary does not skyrocket and keeps rising, then the investment in this type of movie will not be too large.

But Spielberg is different. Although the master's second movie is challenging a movie with horror elements, the production cost has already reached 8 million. Berg is full of confidence, and Kelly has to consider whether she should control Spielberg.

And there is another reason why I want to sign Bruce, that is, there are too few people available for Vertex Pictures, and there is only Spielberg as a director. If there is another Bruce company, it can speed up the development speed!

Chu Huan chuckled and said, Let's talk about this matter later!

If Li Xiaolong is allowed to join Vertex Pictures, then he must disclose his relationship with Vertex Pictures to Li Xiaolong at that time.

Chu Huan suddenly wanted to see Li Xiaolong's expression out of spite.

By the way, you have also been in contact with these Hollywood studios in the past two days. Who are you going to sell the investment share of Dragon Warrior to?

Since Chu Huan didn't show that he wanted to give this share to Vertex Pictures, the only thing that left Kelly curious was who Chu Huan wanted to sell to!

Let's talk about it after meeting with Fox's people! Chu Huan said noncommittally.

The next day, Chu Huan came to the 20th Century Fox studio. Rozier had been waiting here early. With Rozier's company, Chu Huan visited the studio of this era for the first time.

how to say?

A little disappointed, because of the constraints of the times, the studios of this era are not as high-end as later generations, even compared with Hengdian, they are much worse.

It's more like a setting board, which has already replaced a screen.

It seems that some things can only be left in the beautiful fantasy, and cannot be truly felt.

Then Chu Huan followed Rozier to Fox's room of honor, where Chu Huan's borrowed reasons and some props from Planet of the Apes were placed.

And Rozier kept his promise, took out a copy of Planet of the Apes and gave it to Chu Huan.

After Chu Huan expressed his gratitude, Rozier spoke purposefully: I told Fox President Mr. Alan Hirschfield about Mr. Chu's liking for sci-fi movies. Mr. Chu has a common hobby, so he wants to invite you to visit an industrial light and magic company that is doing special effects for our company's next most important project Star Wars, I wonder if Mr. Chu is interested?

Originally, Alan Hirschfeld was going to hand over this matter to Rozier, but after Chu Huan met with the presidents of other film studios, Alan Hirschfeld also knew that he could no longer Strategized from behind.

You must show up in person, only in this way can you buy the investment share of Dragon Warrior from Chu Huan's hands!

Chu Huan was worried about how to bring the topic to the Star Wars project. Now that Rozier said that, he felt happy.

But at this time Chu Huan was still very calm, and said with a smile: It would be really great if I could visit it!

With Chu Huan's words, Rozier invited Chu Huan to go immediately.

George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic is not in Fox Films, but has its own office, which is an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

The top special effects company in the future can only start here.

After Chu Huan got off the car, he saw a Caucasian man in his forties standing at the gate of the factory, and beside him stood the first Caucasian man in his thirties.

Rozier, who was following Chu Huan, immediately introduced to Chu Huan in a low voice: The one in front is Mr. Alan Hirschfeld, the president of our company, and standing next to him is Xiao Ai, the director of the production department of Fox Films. Mr. Loonrad.

Seeing the two giants of 20th Century Fox welcoming him at the door, Chu Huan knew that Fox had no hope of getting rid of the burden of Star Wars.

But looking at little Alan Ladd's expression, he probably didn't know that Alan Hirschfeld was paying attention to this.

From the information provided by Jiaku Consulting Company, Chu Huan already knew that Alan Ladd Jr. was the most optimistic about the Star Wars project in Fox Films.

The two sides walked a few steps together, and when they shook hands, Chu Huan said with a smile: Mr. Hirschfield, Mr. Ladd, you two are famous, and I am very famous in Xiangjiang!

Everyone carries the sedan chair!

Although it is not sure whether Chu Huan is telling the truth or a lie, but no matter what, nice words are always easy to make people happy.

Alan Hirschfeld also laughed loudly: Mr. Chu's name has been resounding in Hollywood recently!

The two sides sent rainbow farts to each other, and then walked into the abandoned factory hand in hand.

The factory has obviously been remodeled, with various humanoid models in strange shapes, and some classic Hollywood robots.

What even surprised Chu Huan was that he actually saw a robot in the shape of a Transformer here.

Although Chu Huan didn't watch Star Wars much, Chu Huan was sure that Transformers definitely didn't exist in Star Wars.

Mr. Chu must be very familiar with this model, right?

Alan Hirschfeld gritted his teeth, forced a smile and talked to Chu Huan.

This was Alan Hirschfeld's first visit to Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, and it was naturally the first time he saw this model. Before Chu Huan came, when he saw this model, he almost had a myocardial infarction.

George Lucas took more than three million from Fox Films. He didn’t make a movie honestly. He said that he had to complete the special effects design first, so he accepted it. In the end, he saw an unauthorized Transformers model.

At that time, Alan Hirschfeld clutched his chest and asked George Lucas why he wanted to get such a model.

George Lucas told Alan Hirschfeld in a matter of course: For added inspiration!

At that time, Alan Hirschfeld wanted to send the North American curse starting with F!

Chu Huan pretended not to see Alan Hirschfeld's expression, and said with a smile: I'm really surprised, this is the largest robot model I've ever seen!

These words hurt Alan Hirschfield again, but he could only say with a smile: If Mr. Chu likes it, I can ask George to give it to Mr. Chu.

Mr. Hirschfeld, in fact, I have already told Mr. Rozier before that as long as Twentieth Century Fox's bid can match the highest price offered by other studios, I will definitely give priority to Dragon Warrior I sold the investment rights to your company!

Chu Huan's words finally made Alan Hirschfeld feel less distressed, but today he didn't just want this answer.

Here, on behalf of 20th Century Fox, I would like to thank Mr. Chu very much. Then shall we sign the contract now?

Alan Hirschfeld wanted to see how much Chu Huan liked science fiction films.

Chu Huan made a reluctant expression and said, Mr. Hirschfield, can we visit Industrial Light and Magic before signing the contract?

Alan Hirschfeld's confidence increased a bit, and he smiled: Of course it's no problem.

When everyone came to the center of the abandoned factory, Chu Huan saw the young version of George Lucas.

In fact, compared to Spielberg, George Lucas does not have much impression in the hearts of Chinese people.

This is really because the influence of the North American national IP of Star Wars in China is too small.

At this time, George Lucas was directing the staff of Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, making a tall, thin man with gold paint all over his body. From Chu Huan's eyes, he looked a bit old-fashioned, but people in this era look But it looks like a sci-fi robot.

Uh. I forgot, what is the name of this thing!

Alan Ladd Jr. walked to George Lucas's side at this time, and whispered a few words to George Lucas, George Lucas reluctantly raised his head, and came to Chu Huan's side.

George Lucas first greeted Alan Hirschfeld, and then said to Chu Huan: Mr. Chu, you are welcome to visit Industrial Light and Magic!

Chu Huan didn't take George Lucas's attitude to heart. Would a normal person be angry at an ATM that didn't need to save much money, but could spit out dozens or hundreds of times the money?

Obviously not.

I just walked all the way and saw many models made by Mr. Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. I really admire Mr. Lucas's unconstrained ideas!

Hearing that Chu Huan praised his model so much, George Lucas showed a sincere smile, but when he saw Alan Hirschfeld's forced smile, he still couldn't help complaining.

It's a pity that some people don't know how to appreciate it.

Alan Hirschfeld smiled awkwardly.

If it weren't for no one taking over, you would consider us Fox as willing to keep you!

Chu Huan shook his head and said: There is an old saying in China, that is, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. I am the owner of a film company, and I am also a senior science fiction fan. It can be said that successful movie props and technology are the key to the success of a sci-fi movie!

The smile on George Lucas's face became brighter and brighter, and his attitude changed quickly, without any transition from the past to the future.

Alan Hirschfeld also showed a really happy smile at this time.

It's good that Chu Huan likes it, and it's best that you really like it, the kind that you like.

George Lucas continued: Mr. Chu is indeed, as Steven said, a boss who really understands movies!

Oh, Mr. Lucas knows Steven? Chu Huan asked.

Steven is Spielberg!

George Lucas said with a smile: Steven and I are very good friends. He told me about Mr. Chu once before, and he admired Mr. Chu very much.

Haha, I'm just an ordinary person who likes movies! Chu Huan said modestly.

George Lucas said: Mr. Chu is not an ordinary person, just...

Speaking of this, George Lucas said with some regret: It's just a pity that Mr. Chu's film company is not a Hollywood film company!

Chu Huan also said with some regret: That's right, if I were the owner of a Hollywood film company, then I would definitely do my best to invest in Mr. Lucas's movie, and then there would be nothing for Mr. Hirschfeld. !

Don't be a pity, there must be a way!

Alan Hirschfeld saw that Chu Huan and George Lucas hadn't formally talked about the movie, so they were so speculative. If Chu Huan was not the boss of the Hollywood film company, he gave up on this matter, what would happen to him next? talk!

It's not a pity at all. I know that Mr. Chu has a very good relationship with Ms. Kelly from Vertex Pictures. I believe that Mr. Chu will have the opportunity to invest in Hollywood movies in the future!

Chu Huan said with a smile: I hope to have such an opportunity!

After this good start, the few people sat down and chatted more lively.

Obviously, Alan Hirschfeld really wanted to throw the hot potato of Star Wars to Chu Huan, so during the conversation, he even gave the first version of the movie script sent by George Lucas Probably told Chu Huan.

The name is to hope that Chu Huan, as a professional film company owner, can provide some opinions, but in fact, he hopes that Chu Huan will be more interested in this project after listening to the story.

Little Alan Ladd on the other side also felt some taste at this time.

Originally, he had some doubts about Alan Hirschfeld personally taking Chu Huan to visit Industrial Light and Magic, but after thinking about it, he just thought that Alan Hirschfeld wanted to use this opportunity to beat George Lu Cass, let him expedite this project.

But now that Alan Hirschfeld introduced this project to Chu Huan so attentively and regardless of his identity, coupled with Chu Huan's love for sci-fi themes, little Alan Ladd finally understood.

Nima, Alan Hirschfeld wants Chu Huan to be the pick-up man!

Thinking of this, Alan Rudd Jr. wanted to stop the incident, but Alan Hirschfeld stopped him with his eyes.

After Chu Huan listened to this version of the Star Wars story, he did not express his opinion immediately, but remained silent for a while.

George Lucas had a new understanding of Chu Huan because of Chu Huan's remarks about sci-fi films just now, so at this time he was also a little curious about how Chu Huan viewed his story.

It's just that seeing that Chu Huan didn't make a sound at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and asked curiously: Mr. Chu, is there any problem with this story?

Chu Huan shook his head with a smile and said, No, I just feel that the structure of this story is somewhat similar to Akira Kurosawa's Battlefield Heroes!

George Lucas's eyes suddenly lit up. When he thought about this story, he was indeed influenced by Kurosawa's Heroes of the Battlefield.

Like many film directors, George Lucas is a fan of Akira Kurosawa.

He didn't expect Chu Huan to be able to feel it in dictation.

It immediately gave him a sense of confidant.

Mr. Chu is indeed a successful film company owner. When I conceived this story before, I did have a lot of references from Heroes of the Battlefield.

But then I also found this problem, so I made some changes in it.

This time it was Ellen Hirschfeld who was stunned, Nima, did you make another change?

The point is that I, the spender, don't know?

Sell, must sell!

At this time, Alan Hirschfeld felt that George Lucas's Star Wars was not pleasing to the eye, and he decided in his heart that this must be a money-losing science fiction film!

George, what changes have you made in your new script? Alan Hirschfeld asked aloud.

But this time, George Lucas didn't tell Chu Huan his revised story.

Just now he didn't stop Alan Hirschfeld from telling the first version of the story, that's because he had already made changes, so he didn't care.

But now, it’s definitely not going to work. George Lucas thinks this should be the final version of the story. At least George Lucas thinks so at this time.

Although many European and American audiences in later generations called George Lucas a great director, in fact, judging from George Lucas's behavior, this person is actually more like a businessman.

It is impossible for him to let the boss of a film company know the specific story before his product is shown in front of the audience.

Even the boss of this film company, he himself appreciates it very much.

Seeing that George Lucas didn't make a sound, Alan Hirschfeld became more and more unhappy under the psychological influence.

But Chu Huan said with a smile at this time: I don't think you should force Mr. Lucas. This story must be very important to Mr. Lucas. I'd better wait for the film to be finished. I think it will definitely be able to give you a lot of attention at that time. I will bring even greater shock!

George Lucas nodded firmly and said, Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I am confident that this movie will definitely become an epoch-making work!

Chu Huan laughed, I believe in Mr. Lucas!

After chatting for a while, Chu Huan was about to get up and leave. Now that he and George Lucas have established a preliminary friendly relationship, the next step is to consider how to cheat Alan Hirschfeld and George Lucas!

Maybe you don't have to figure it out yourself, Alan Hirschfeld will give this opportunity himself!

After Chu Huan noticed Alan Hirschfeld's expression, he thought silently in his heart.

Mr. Hirschfield, George's movie Alan Ladd Jr. came to Alan Hirschfeld while Chu Huan and Lucas were walking ahead, and preached urgently.

Alan Hirschfeld glanced coldly at Jr. Alan Ladd: If you have any ideas, I'll talk about them when I get back to the company!

He couldn't let little Alan Ladd delay his plan.

Several people walked out of the factory, George Lucas shook hands with Chu Huan and others, and then went back.

Chu Huan also smiled and said, I'm very happy today, thank you Mr. Hirschfield for your hospitality.

Alan Hirschfeld smiled reservedly: There is one thing that can make Mr. Chu even happier!

Chu Huan showed a puzzled expression: Oh, is Mr. Hirschfield planning to increase the price to buy the investment share of Dragon Warrior?

Alan Hirschfeld: .

I see that Mr. Chu is so interested in the Star Wars project, Fox Films is willing to give up this project to Mr. Chu!
