Chapter 287 Ye Qin, B-list (for subscription)
Berkeban City, meeting room on the third floor of the Legend Building.
For 2000 million U.S. dollars, Ye Guangji can spend the corresponding exchange rate in RMB, but he cannot afford so many U.S. dollars in foreign exchange.
When I contacted Li Juan, who was in charge of the money, Wang Changtian was quite straightforward, and it was no problem to pay 2000 million US dollars all-inclusive. Ye Qin only found out after asking, that the voice of breaking 30 billion in China was getting louder and louder.
Ye Ning is also willing to bet 2000 million US dollars to try it out. Anyway, if you spend money on Keanu Reeves, it doesn't matter if you hit Ye Qin. Wanda, you have money!
It is estimated that it will not take much time to inject funds into the newly established Daqin Studio.
Ye Qin was leaning back on the swivel chair, turning the ballpoint pen between his fingers, and standing beside him was an urban beauty completely dressed in "Men in Black".
In his early thirties, fair skin, blue eyes, blond hair, wearing rimless glasses, medium posture, and a sharp elite temperament.
CAA assigned Ye Qin's manager, Hena Rose, an excellent junior recommended by Luo Yi.
Well, it's quite excellent. From the moment I entered the door, I only got acquainted with it, reviewed the script, and then began to infiltrate the production crew little by little. As expected of CAA, the agent is as capable as the producer.
Hena Roth wholeheartedly recommends the talent elite in the industry: "Action film director, I recommend Brad Bird first, he is..."
"The director of Mission: Impossible 4."
Ye Qin raised his eyebrows, Brad Bird is quite good.
The fierce scenes of "Mission: Impossible 4" make people breathless, and the explosive fighting stunts have successfully brought Cruise to fame, and it is also known as "the pinnacle of action movies".
"You can consider being an executive producer."
The producer-centered system pursued by Hollywood means that the producer does not need to do it himself, but only needs to ensure the smooth production and subsequent distribution of the film.
The executive producer will be responsible for the entire film, from budget to shooting time, to select suitable directors and actors.
The reason why Uncle Long entered and exited Hollywood three times is precisely because he did not control the production rights of the project.
"Assassin's Trench" and "Weylong Detective" are just actors, who are framed by foreign directors to perform in the camera.
"Wey Dragon Detective" also does not have the right to direct, nor does it have the right to edit the film. Uncle Long was so angry that he had to go on strike to win the right to edit the domestic release.
I specially asked Ye Qianwen to make a reshoot. The box office of the domestic release version was only 1000 million, and the box office in North America was even worse, only 98 dollars.
A lesson learned from the past, Ye Qinke must firmly control the production rights.
"Dong dong."
There was a light knock on the open glass door, and a middle-aged man with a low-profile version of Russell Crowe stepped into the room.
Hena Ross glanced at him and said, "He's the new director you're looking for, David Leitch?"
Ye Qin hurriedly stood up, across the conference table, leaned forward, and stretched out a hand of friendship: "Hello, Lei Qi, nice to meet you."
"You, uh, Ye Qin."
David Leitch was stunned by such a young Huaxia face, but quickly adjusted: "Gordon Chan (Chen Jiashang), Maggie Q, they said, you asked me to be the film director?"
David Leitch is the assistant director of "The King of Fighters", emm, another successful masterpiece that changed the game into a bad movie.
Li Meiqi's performance of Mai Shiranui is hard to describe in words, it's so bad that it's not as good as the cosplay level of Manzhan!
Chen Jiashang's impact on Hollywood ended there, and he was gone forever in bad movies.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and formally entered into the treatment contract and the issue of power.
Hollywood film directors' remuneration tops out at around US$1000 million.
The lowest level, or new directors, according to Hena Ross, 15 to 30 dollars.
Before filming starts, after filming starts, and after release, it is settled three times.
"Your salary is 20."
"I have no objection." David Leitch nodded, according to Hollywood rules.
But his focus is not on money. When he thinks that his first novel will be a $2000 million B-level production, and it will be his dream gunfight theme, his heart beats endlessly.
"I also decided to hire you as the executive producer of "Quick Chase". You not only have the right to speak and make suggestions, but also the right to decide on-site directing."
"What!?" David Leitch and Hena Ross were stunned one after another, their faces showing more or less disbelief.
The "Quick" series can be a big hit at the box office. Derek's Western killer world is one of them, and David Leitch's team's scene scheduling and actual combat design are one of them!
Ye Qin could see that David Leitch was very excited, breathing heavily, inhaling and exhaling frantically, as if he would suffocate and pass out the next second due to lack of oxygen.
It is estimated that the contract will be handed over now, and it will be signed every minute.
Hena Ross rolled his eyes, why is this star not as smart as Luo Yi said, just this, just evaluate the B-list.
She kindly persuaded: "Ye Qin, maybe there are differences in film production methods between the East and the West, I need to remind you, the producer..."
"I admire his performance in "Escape Plan" and "Wolverine". I believe he can do it!"
Ye Qin's light words moved David Leitch's chest up and down, and he had the urge to "die for his confidant".
There are only a handful of new directors whose debut debut is included in the executive production.
"The contract will be arranged by Rose. Now let's discuss the overall fighting style of the movie... The action should be quick and neat, the gunfight should be close to actual combat, with tactical fighting coordination, and simply take people's lives."
Ye Qin wrote lightly: "In the first part, I hope the death toll will be set at 70 to 80."
"According to what you said, the rating of the movie may be pg13, or a higher R rating!"
Henaros stared wide-eyed, looking at a madman.
"How many, how many, 70 to 80 people?"
David Leitch was dumbfounded, more than 70.
Fuck, the American thriller and horror movie, the whole series of "Moonlight Panic" only has 140 people, and "Friday the 13th" has 150 people.
Just one movie, half of the people, is this him? What is this Chinese man?
Ye Qin grinned, "In addition to the Mozambique shooting method and the CAR shooting method, there are also various fantastic techniques, such as throwing knives, ropes, and folding stools..."
Hehe, except for Uncle Long, Chinese people have been in Hollywood in the early years, and almost everyone started as a killer.
Li Lianjie, "Sky Cannon", killer.
Zhou Runfa, "Stand-in Killer", is still a killer.
Zhen Bullet, "The Holy War of Time and Space", he is still a killer.
Arrange killers for the Chinese people, right?
No need to make arrangements, I will do it myself, I will directly transform into a god of death and kill him!
Facing this harmless young man, David Leitch was horrified, how could the bright smile on the corner of his mouth be so penetrating, he gasped.
"Or, a pencil." Ye Qin took out a pencil and pinched the ends with both hands.
Genaros was shocked by the sudden performance, and her heart trembled, fearing that he would explode in the next second and stab her throat fiercely with a pencil.
Damn, he really looks like a joker!
David Leitch paused: "I, I have a friend named Chad Stalski, he is Keanu's stand-in in "The Matrix", and now he is the director of "The Expendables" and "Die Hard 4". The assistant director is proficient in the action design of various gun fights, he can satisfy your killer style!"
"can!"
Ye Qin agreed without hesitation, but at this time, Magri Simkin, the assistant director recommended by Legend, was in charge of casting.
"This is the director, so, can we announce the audition?"
………………
Legendary Pictures Chairman's Office.
"He invested in a killer project?"
Thomas Tull crossed his hands, sat in the boss chair, listened to Luo Yi's report, with a surprised look on his face.
Luo Yi shook the whiskey in the glass, Nunuzui said: "His real motive for investing in this project is completely unclear. The only thing that can explain it is that he is a respectable dog lover."
"Based on your understanding of him and this project, how much do you think you should vote for?"
Legendary Pictures, controlled by Thomas Tull, has not been a pure film company since its first day of establishment, but a financial company with films as its main investment project.
In 05, he raised an investment of 6 million U.S. dollars. With this investment, taking advantage of Warner's lack of money and need for blood supply, he successfully married and reached an agreement to co-finance and produce 40 film and television works, including the "Batman" trilogy .
Now, the agreement with Warner is about to expire at the end of the year, and it is necessary to return to the "platter combination" with extremely high investment risks.
Therefore, later generations, 14 years later, after various stupid tricks, they finally "packaged" the mess and handed it over to the richest man before the king, and Wanda still foolishly took over.
"No, Thomas, he has absolutely no shortage of investment."
Luo Yi shook his head and sighed: "You have no contact with Huaxia's business, you don't understand his box office appeal in China, and its commercial value."
"For example, it's completely comparable to Tom Cruise in his early years. When film and television investment is difficult and he can't come up with a good idea, give him the money and make money without losing it. He is such a person in Huaxia!"
"According to what Huaxia Company has learned, his personal cumulative box office is infinitely close to 5 million US dollars. According to the specifications, it is already at the level of Hollywood's second-tier stars, and it is B-list!"
"That's right, it must be invested!"
Thomas Tull rubbed his hands, like a gambler betting on a dark horse at a racetrack, eager to try: "Anyway, his distribution business in the United States is represented by Legend."
"In any case, a quarter of the investment must be taken out. What do you think is his budget?"
Luo Yi said: "It's 2000 million US dollars, in fact, it may not be that much, because he simply has no salary, only box office dividends."
Thomas Tull asked: "He is now preparing to build a crew on the third floor. Tell me in detail, who does he invite to be the producer, and who is confirmed by the director?"
Luo Yi took a sip of wine, and his eyebrows twitched together: "He is the producer of the project, and he found a little-known little director. He only knows that he has been the assistant director of "The Matrix", a pure newcomer director."
"What! Qin Chunchun is messing around, he doesn't understand the current Hollywood rules at all!"
Thomas Tull had the attitude of someone who came here: "Who does Qin think he is, Jack is successful!"
"Now it's not around the millennium. Except for ethnic minorities or mixed races, how many actors in Hollywood will match a Chinese person?!"
"Thomas, Qin has a very good saying. If you have enough money, gender is not a problem, let alone color!"
"Shh, just tell me what you said, don't be heard by LGBT."
