As always, nothing special today!
Arriving at the company at nine o'clock in the morning, held a small meeting, signed several documents, and Han Shanye planned to go around the factory.
The Lantern Festival is not yet here, and the year is not over, but most of the production crews in the Beijing Film Studio have already started work.
Like "Gege 2", like "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" which is currently filming some scenes, like the low-budget movie "Platform"...
Of course, what Han Shanye cares most about is Sun Hao who is in Studio No. 1 at the moment...
Sun Hao, at such a young age, he made the world-shocking masterpiece "Chain Saw". In just two weeks now, the global box office of this film has exceeded 42 million US dollars. The eyes of the great director.
In Hollywood, some small media even called Sun Hao the father of Asian horror movies.
Han Shanye shook his head with emotion, and opened the door of the office, but before he could go out, Yu Dong, who came to go through the resignation procedures, led a middle-aged man towards the factory director's office.
Seeing Han Shanye, Yu Dong immediately introduced with a smile:
"Mr. Huang, this is Mr. Han. After the establishment of China Film Group, Mr. Han will also serve as the vice chairman of the newly established company, focusing on the film and television business."
"Hi Mr. Han!"
The middle-aged man's attitude was very humble, he was short of bowing 90 degrees to Han Shanye.
"Oh... you too!"
Although Han Shanye stretched out his hand kindly to him, he looked at Yu Dong with questions in his eyes.
Who is this girl?
You bring him over to me.
Yu Dong winked, and immediately smiled and said:
"Mr. Han, this is the contracted director of New Line Films in the United States. His name is Huang Yiyu. He was born on Hong Kong Island and immigrated to San Diego, California, USA when he was ten years old."
"oh…"
Han Shanye's expression was very calm.
Although New Line Films was acquired by Warner in 1993, because its film business is independent, the company's performance is not very good.
A contracted director of a film company with not outstanding performance is not worthy of being received personally.
Hehe... I just don't know what the **** this guy Yu Dong is doing? !
Perhaps because he understood Han Shanye's expression, the middle-aged man named Huang Yiyu immediately stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Han, I'm here to discuss cooperation with China Film Group."
"Oh, come in and say it!"
In a flash, Han Shanye let him into the factory director's office.
"Mr. Han, it's like this. Since the movie "Chain Saw" directed by Sun Hao has been shown worldwide, there has been a wave of low-budget horror movie shooting.
Following the trend, I also wrote a movie script "The Terminator", hoping to discuss cooperation with your company..."
However, before Huang Yiyu finished speaking, Han Shanye waved his hand.
"Mr. Huang, you are Chinese, so I can tell you something straightforward.
Horror and thriller movies are not allowed to be shown in our mainland, so we definitely can't cooperate. "
"No, Mr. Han, my script is really good!
It tells the story of a group of high school students going out on vacation. When the protagonist was waiting for the plane at the airport, he suddenly had a hallucination. The plane exploded, so he desperately prevented his classmates from getting on the plane..."
Han Shanye is very personable, even though he knows that this is a good script, there is no way to show it in the mainland, sitting on the sofa, he still listens to the story patiently.
Seeing Huang Yiyu stopped, he stood up and smiled.
"Mr. Huang, I'm sorry, this kind of film really can't be released in the mainland, so I advise you to find a film investor in Hong Kong Island or America A!"
After finishing speaking, Han Shanye turned around and was about to leave, but at this time, Huang Yiyu was really anxious.
If you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you one hundred thousand dollars..."
"Oh, tell me carefully?"
Han Shanye, who was interested, sat down again.
It's not that he was coveting the one hundred thousand dollars that Huang Yiyu promised, but that Han Shanye was really curious about what kind of problems he encountered that made him so generous.
You know, it costs less than 100,000 US dollars to buy a 150-square-meter house in the capital.
"Mr. Han, that's right.
I used to work in a TV station, as the screenwriter and director of the famous American drama "X-Files". Once I accidentally saw a scrap draft of this TV series, and I was immediately interested.
Then I left TV and went to New Line Films, so I persuaded my new owner to buy the idea, and then I started adapting the story idea. "
"Um…"
As soon as he heard this, Han Shanye asked curiously: "Mr. Huang, can you tell me what kind of idea it is?
Let you remember it for years..."
"Of course, the idea is actually very simple, that is, a certain young man has supernatural powers, he can perceive some disasters in advance, but no matter how he reminds, his companions can't escape the fate of being killed by disasters anyway, um , including the young people themselves, of course!"
"oh…"
Han Shanye replied casually, and then motioned Huang Yiyu to continue.
The idea of this kind of story is rotten in the mainland. In China Opera and Film Academy, any student from the literature department can be better than this one, but you still **** it.
"The story frame is in place, and my script has been written, and the filming will start when the funds are in place in March.
However, an accident happened at this time.
The senior executives of New Line Films didn't know whether it was a cramp in their head or they got into the water. Without my knowledge, they sold the story idea and framework to Harvey, the founder of Miramax Films, for $30,000. . Weinstein. "
puff…
Astonishing!
Han Shanye~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yu Dong who was sitting in the office had an expression of disbelief.
As far as this bad story idea can sell for 30,000 U.S. dollars, I have to say that the energy of the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild is really **** amazing!
While shocked, Han Shanye also had new doubts.
"Mr. Huang, I'm sorry, just interrupt, it seems that we can't help you with what happened to you?"
"Why can't you help?" Huang Yiyu stood up angrily.
"I asked someone, the reason why Harvey Weinstein, a well-known old villain in Hollywood, bought this little-known story frame and idea is related to Sun Hao in your country.
"Chain Saw" is on fire.
Its distribution companies Columbia Pictures and Miramax Films both hope that Sun Hao can strike while the iron is hot and make a sequel, but Sun Hao is unwilling, he does not want to repeat himself.
Therefore, Sun Hao sold the right to adapt the script of the film and the right to remake the sequel to Harvey Weinstein. In order to express his gratitude, Harvey Weinstein bought the idea and story frame that I liked It was given to Sun Hao. "
Well…
Han Shanye was a little speechless.
To be honest, this guy is really unlucky. This is like the astronaut of the former Soviet Union. He was still floating in space, but the country disappeared!
"Cough cough cough..."
The one who coughed was Yu Dong. Seeing that Huang Yiyu and Han Shanye were all looking over, this guy said:
"Mr. Huang, I don't understand one thing. Since the senior executives of New Line Films are optimistic about this project and ordered you to proceed with it, why did they sell it?"
"Um…"
Huang Yiyu suddenly became embarrassed.
"The original high-ranking woman has left her job."
