Chapter 483 Hidden edge, wait for the future!
Although it was his first time participating in the preparation of a movie in the United States, as a screenwriter and investment producer, Lee Sung-hyun enjoyed quite a lot of rights in the movie. But he also knew that some things cannot be the same as in South Korea.
If the movie was filmed in South Korea, as the screenwriter and producer, most of the leading actors in the movie were decided by Lee Sung-hyun alone. Even if the director invited, he would not take away the rights from him.
However, during this cooperation with Dingfeng Entertainment, Lee Sang-hyun only participated in the film preparations. Although Lee Sang-hyun has certain rights in selecting actors, he still respects the opinions of the director and another producer.
Everyone is very happy about Lee Sang-hyun's tactfulness, including Robert. In this way, it also saves the disputes over actors. In contrast, some of the suggestions that Lee Sang-hyun sometimes makes are entirely out of public interest.
The producer invited by Dingfeng Entertainment this time is also an old film producer who has been in Hollywood for many years and has a wide connection. This old producer is also optimistic about the script written by Lee Sang-hyun.
Mark, who has been living in Hollywood for many years and has monitored more than 70 movies, has a good vision of reading scripts. Correspondingly, as long as he values the script, it is not a problem to find investors.
Such a connection and can attract investments for film and television companies are undoubtedly the favorite candidates for film and television companies such as Dingfeng Entertainment, which are relatively lacking in funds, are the favorites for film and television companies to hire.
Mark's investment in Li Shengxian's script of 10 million can also show Li Shengxian's confidence in his work. Even if this is a science fiction movie, the script is excellent and the box office revenue will not be too bad.
After some discussion, several main actors of the film were confirmed. As the director, Duncan Jones, although he is a new Hollywood director, is still very famous for directing science fiction movies.
Facing the audition actors recommended by Duncan, Mark and Robert, Lee Saint-hyun also said politely: "Mark, I have no objection to the audition staff you recommend. I believe your vision.
Next, I won’t participate in the audition of the actors. This time I came to the United States, and I still have something to do. I need to go back to New York to handle it. After finishing the New York business, my Korean movie is almost ready to be released.
Regarding the filming of the movie, I will send financial personnel to the contract according to the contract. The crew’s specific affairs will be hard work. However, when the script is needed, I will come here at any time."
Although Lee Sang-hyun did this, he was a bit suspicious of being a hand-off manager. But Mark and the others also knew that Lee Sang-hyun also had an entertainment company in New York. Even if it was an entertainment company that he had never heard of, it was enough to show that Lee Sang-hyun was very valuable.
They have been living in Hollywood for many years, and they dare not look down on any young man who is rich and even a little bit. Lin Zaiqing, who had been by Lee Sang-hyun before, was enough to tell them something.
In the preparation for filming, Li Shengxian has given up a lot of rights. If they are really too much, based on the corresponding cooperation, Li Shengxian can also cause trouble for them. At that time, their reputation will also be affected.
After all, since the movie is about to start filming, what everyone is working hard is to make the movie well. As long as you work towards this goal, it doesn’t matter whether Lee Sang-hyun is there or not.
As for Lee Sang-hyun, I also hope that after the movie is released, I will join the American Screenwriters Association. As long as I can successfully join it, Lee Sang-hyun will be able to take a lot of initiative when working with other filmmakers in the future.
Even in Lee Sang-hyun's plan, in the future, he would directly start filming a movie released in North America under the name of the company. But in a short time, he hopes that the company will focus more on film investment.
In this way, although it is a bit suspicious of spending a lot of money, the benefits are also quite good. With the memory in my mind, Li Shengxian believes that at least there will be no losses when investing in movies.
Being able to participate in the investment and distribution of some well-known movies is also a process of accumulating fame and connections for Lee Sang-hyun's company. If you want to truly gain recognition from Hollywood, Lee Sang-hyun asked himself that it will take some time.
After listening to Lee Sang-hyun's words, Mark also smiled and said, "Okay, then if there is anything in the future, we can just call directly. Every time I see you, I feel that when I was young, those little grades were really nothing.
OK, I hope our cooperation will give us a pleasant memory. Please believe that since I am a producer and an investor in the film, I also hope to make this movie well!”
After a simple chat, the meeting ended in less than an hour. Mark, who originally wanted to invite Lee Sang-hyun to have dinner, did not disturb the young people's date too much when he saw Lee Sang-hyun with his beautiful companionship.
After finishing the trip to Tingfeng Entertainment, Lee Sung-hyun will just leave the rest of the matter to Park Sook-yu. As his agent, Park Sung-yu seems more professional in business negotiations than Lee Sung-hyun.
The entertainment company acquired by Li Shengxian is also equipped with personnel who specialize in handling related cooperative affairs. As long as Li Shengxian explains the other party’s affairs well, he believes that these employees will handle related matters well.
Li Shengxian also understood that he was better at planning and execution matters by handing over to his subordinates. If he was responsible for everything, what would he spend money to hire those employees to do?
Even a veteran producer like Mark, he cannot stay on the set every day. Mark, as a producer, will appear when there is a problem with the filming. Generally speaking, the producer only needs to supervise the crew's shooting progress.
Seeing Lee Sung-hyun come out, Kim Taeyeon said in surprise: "So quickly, things will be negotiated?"
‘Yes! What’s so strange about this? Today we had a meeting and just discussed the movie and invited the actors to audition. There were directors, producers, and Roberts watching, and I just sat and waited for news.
Although I grew up in the United States, I have been in South Korea in recent years. I don’t know much about some of the new American film and television actors. So, it’s better to listen to their opinions on actor screening.’
After a little explanation, Kim Taeyeon didn't continue to ask anything. But she also understood in her heart that Lee Sung-hyun, who seemed to be strong in the Korean entertainment industry, also restrained her edge after coming to the United States.
This also made Kim Taeyeon understand that it is really not easy for a foreign artist to be recognized in Hollywood or the American entertainment industry. What Lee Son-hyun is doing now is to pave the way for the future.
