Chapter seven hundred and sixty fourth trivial(1/2)
Seeing Di Leo scratching his head and thinking hard, Chen Yang was not in a hurry, picked up the tea cup and blew the hot air gently,
Then he seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at Liu Hongbo who was full of excitement, and asked,
"Mr. Liu, when we came in just now, we heard that there seemed to be someone else in the practice room on the second floor. Who works so hard and doesn't even take a break on New Year's Day?"
Liu Hongbo, who had successfully sold the copyright and learned about Boss Chen's ambitions, was filled with surprises when he suddenly heard Boss Chen's question. He couldn't help but froze, and instinctively looked at Xia Yumeng beside him.
"Who?"
We really can't blame him for not knowing that all the artists in the company are managed by Xia Yumeng. She should know best who is in and who is not.
Xia Yumeng also reacted at this time, turned around to face Chen Yang, and said quickly, "It's Zhang Shaohan. She doesn't have any relatives here alone, so she just came to the company to practice.
In addition, Wang Zhi, Zhang Xiaofei, and Yuan Shanshan were also there. Qiao Shan was also practicing just now. There was a crew who needed a supporting role temporarily, so I asked him to go.
As for everyone else, there are announcements, but there is no rest."
"oh,"
Chen Yang opened his mouth and blinked. He knew that Wang Zhi and the others were in the company. As for Nazha and the others, there should be no shortage of activities on a day like New Year's Day. It is normal to not be in the company.
To say that other artists also have jobs, it is reasonable for Damai Company to take the lead in establishing a large entertainment platform and find some resources for its artists in the industry. The three of them are still in the company, which does not mean that there will be no announcement today, it just happens that they are here now.
But, why is Zhang Shaohan here?
Seeing Boss Chen's appearance, Xia Yumeng was a little puzzled.
Is there something wrong with your expression?
Is it because there are still three people in the company today?
If it's because of this, I can explain it!
Just when Xia Yumeng was about to speak, Huang Shan next to him suddenly asked with a little surprise, "Why is Zhang Shaohan in our company? Have all her problems been solved?"
"Oh, that's right,"
Xia Yumeng immediately looked at her, pointed at Chen Yang, and said with a smile, "It was early October, when Director Chen invited the CEOs of more than a dozen entertainment companies to come over for a meeting to discuss the establishment of a large entertainment platform, and he personally found the people he wanted from Foremost.
At that time, Zhang Shaohan was involved in a lawsuit, and Fu Mao was eager to send him away quickly. Seeing that Director Chen spoke in person, he transferred the contract on the same day,"
After a pause, he explained, "We have figured out the real situation behind the negative reports and lawsuits. It is actually some family disputes."
You can know the specific gossip information by just reading the entertainment news. Xia Yumeng did not say much, but said directly,
"My sister testified, and it was easy to clarify. Over at Taiwan, we asked several companies such as Universal and Warner to help us deal with it, and hired lawyers. Then we also contacted the relevant departments here in the mainland, and now there is no problem.
Already."
After hearing what she said, Chen Yang also remembered that this was indeed the case. However, after he said it at that time, he received the task assigned by the leader, and then hurriedly followed the Mayflower project team on the expedition, and was busy all the time.
Until now, I haven't thought about it for a while.
After listening to Xia Yumeng's explanation, Huang Shan nodded suddenly, then turned to look at Chen Yang and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of poaching people?"
Chen Yang looked at her and grinned, "No, I just think she is pretty good. It would be a pity if she fell to the bottom and couldn't get up because of those messy things."
There is really no moisture in this statement. It is the fact. Otherwise, what else could it be for?!
"oh,"
Huang Shan nodded lightly, "It's true that her singing ability is indeed very good, and her reputation is high enough. If she can clear her stain, she can become a general of the company."
After saying that, he threw the matter behind him, not considering whether Chen Yang's words were true or false.
For them, he is nothing more than a singer. If you dig him, you will just dig him. It is not worth the trouble.
While they were chatting, DiLeo, who had been thinking for a long time, finally responded,
He raised his head and looked at Boss Chen, and said seriously, "Mr. Chen, frankly speaking, I can't answer your question."
After listening to Huang Shan's translation, Chen Yang didn't show any displeasure on his face. He just looked at him with a smile, waiting for him to continue.
Hehe, once you enter my door and get on my boat, if you don’t bring something real, I’m afraid you won’t be able to pass the test.
Even more extreme, even if the two of them had no interaction before today, as long as Boss Chen asked this question, Di Leo had to come up with something useful.
For no other reason,
Just because of one sentence,
The flowing trust, the iron-clad Wall Street!
No matter how high a position Hollywood occupies in the global film and television industry, the reality is that the large studios that once dominated the world have now become vassals of Wall Street giants.
As a financial institution, Wall Street is both the boss of Hollywood and the organizer of mergers and acquisitions in Hollywood.
As a financial market, Wall Street not only provides a huge platform for the financing of Hollywood movies, but also avoids movie risks in the financial market.
As a result, from the financing of Hollywood during the big studio era, to the production of movies, and even the entire film industry, most of Hollywood is under the control of Wall Street.
But, what does this have to do with Boss Chen?!
Of course it’s because of the American Rainbow Financial Group,
As a rising star on Wall Street, we won’t discuss the influence of American Lottery Group on Hollywood, but for DiLeo, an authority figure in Hollywood, it is definitely a behemoth that can take over life and death.
The big boss of a Wall Street giant comes to you personally to talk about a small matter. Do you dare to push back?
Anyway, Di Leo, who is very clear about this logical relationship, would never dare to do so.
I haven’t seen it. Less than three months ago, Boss Chen just said that the bosses of the branches of Universal, Warner and other Hollywood giants here came all over the place for a meeting.
Even the executives of big entertainment companies have to follow their lead. How can he dare to challenge the boss behind the Wall Street giant?!
So under Boss Chen's smiling gaze, Di Leo coughed dryly and said seriously,
"All I can do is use all my wisdom to provide you with some trivial advice."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal him to continue.
DiLeo smiled and then said,
"I understand what you mean, but the topic of cultural strategy is too big. Perhaps we can discuss it in some details,"
After a pause, he added, "For example, let more people know and understand this place through certain methods.
These can be more popular TV shows, songs, or movies."
Chen Yang looked at him with squinted eyes, as if listening, but remained silent.
But this gesture is enough, DiLeo followed his own train of thought and said,
"My solution is that you can register a film and television company in the United States,"
Hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him, and then looked at Huang Shan, "I remember that when we invested in Avatar and Transformers 2, we used the name of an American company, right?"
Huang Shan nodded immediately, "Yes, it is the American Damai Film Company. It is registered in Hollywood. However, this company only has two businesses. It invested 100 million US dollars in Avatar and Transformers 2, each holding 30% of the shares.
.”
After finishing speaking, Huang Shan said to Di Leo, who was confused because he didn't understand, "We have a film company in the United States and have invested in two movies. You were also present at the time."
DiLeo immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Oh, yes, I remembered, it is indeed the case,"
Then he looked at Chen Yang and said with a smile, "This is the best. You can continue to use the name of this film port company to participate in investing in Hollywood film production. If you don't know the situation there, it doesn't matter. I can be the middleman.
We will help you find connections and ensure that they are the best quality projects from major production companies.”
Having said this, Di Leo paused, suddenly tilted his head, lowered his voice and laughed,
"Since you have participated in the investment, you can make some small requests, such as adding a few more roles that Chinese actors can play, choosing certain filming locations in China, and adding some life that does not look out of place.
element,
For example, modern street scenes, traditional dramas, and many elements that are completely different from what Westerners have in mind,"
DiLeo spread his hands, shrugged and said, "Frankly speaking, if I hadn't come here personally, I wouldn't have believed that the real China is like this.
This is completely different from what the Western media promotes.
If these contents can be produced into Hollywood movies, and then through the influence of Hollywood movies, they can be quickly spread around the world.
I think this is a very good approach.”
From the moment DiLeo suggested making requests for film production in the name of investment, Chen Yang kept nodding lightly.
Of course he understood what DiLeo meant,
In fact, in the next few years, this is what Hollywood production companies will do.
However, their purpose is completely opposite. It is not to promote Chinese cultural elements, but to make money by taking advantage of the Chinese people's sense of national honor.
Look, even Hollywood movies want to incorporate our culture, and even invite our actors to participate, and then what...
What a fart!
These movies are actually so-called special films.
Scenes shot in China, as well as clips starring domestic stars, can only be seen on domestic big screens.
Once you leave the country, no, outside the customs, it is a completely different version of another story.
After all, it's just a way for Hollywood to make money.
