In a garden in New York, the crew of "Autumn Fairy Tale" had just finished shooting a set of scenes. Director Zhang Yuanting nodded with satisfaction and asked the staff to bring drinks to Zhou Runfa and Zhang Manyu, and patiently explained to them the shooting precautions for the next scene. matter.
The crew has been in the United States for half a month, and the entire filming process has been relatively smooth. The only thing that makes Zhang Yuanting feel depressed is that the weather is in early summer, and it is quite difficult to capture the artistic conception of autumn maple leaves. It is inevitable to come back in autumn. Reshoot or go to other countries to find suitable locations. A great master in the entertainment industry 295
Xinli spent the first few days with her group visiting old classmates, some of whom have become contracted employees of several major Hollywood film companies and enjoy various American-style benefits. They still express their feelings towards Xinli giving up her superior conditions and returning to Hong Kong to work hard. It's a pity, but Xinli always maintains a glimmer of hope and optimism.
After reminiscing about old times, Xin Li was surprised to find that all her classmates seemed to be mentioning "Boxing Fighter" intentionally or unintentionally, mentioning Zhou Wen, mentioning Chinese Kung Fu, and mentioning Bruce Lee. Zhou Wen and "Fighting Fighter" seemed to be related. The whirlwind swept across the United States, attracting the attention and attention of many companies in Hollywood.
So Xin Li had a new task. According to the collection of various reports and box office data about "Boxing Fighter" and Zhou Wen in the United States, these things were not all done for work. She was eager to find out why Zhou Wen was in the United States. The United States will also receive such a warm welcome.
At this moment, Xin Li was reading a bunch of newspapers and magazines outside the shooting area. Zhang Yuanting came over and said softly: "Ms. Xin, according to the current shooting progress, we will soon complete the shooting mission in the United States. Look at the autumn What should I do with that location scene? Should I wait a few months to return to the United States and reshoot it, or"
Hearing this, Xin Li put down the newspaper in her hand and said with a smile: "Oh, you don't have to worry about this. I have already chosen the location. As soon as the filming here is completed, the crew will move there and it won't waste too much of everyone's time. "
"That way I feel relieved!" Zhang Wanting breathed a long sigh of relief. You must know that "Autumn Fairy Tale" is very important to her. From the first day of script creation, she and her boyfriend have been wholeheartedly devoted to Debao's investment. When the filming was not in place, they even wanted to borrow loan sharks to film the film. Fortunately, Zhang Manyu came forward in time to attract an investment of 6 million. Otherwise, even if the filming was started, the filming conditions in the United States would be very difficult for the crew.
After solving the financial problem, the next step is the performance of the actors. Zhang Yuanting is relatively reassured about Zhou Runfa. After all, Fa Ge's acting skills are well-known in the industry.
Zhang Manyu has always met the audience as a flower vase. She is worried about whether Zhang Manyu can control the image of the "Thirteenth Sister". However, so far, Zhang Manyu's performance is remarkable, and Zhou Runfa is very good at driving his partners into the show. In the drama, Zhang Manyu won the recognition of the crew with her simple acting skills.
After funds and acting skills, the last confusion is the actors' schedules. Both Zhou Runfa and Zhang Manyu have full schedules. It is difficult to snatch them away. If we don't take advantage of the opportunity to complete the filming, if we wait a few months to come back for reshoots, Not to mention that the day lilies are cold, they may not have a schedule. If you miss it again don't think about it being released this year.
Therefore, Director Zhang Yuanting's mood has been unstable these past few days. After knowing that she got an accurate answer from Xin Li, she felt a little more at ease.
The crew continued filming. Xinli frowned slightly, closed the newspaper in her hand, and opened another movie magazine. There was a piece of information in it that shocked her, because it said that Fox and Hong Kong's Zhou Films had initially reached a cooperation intention. Zhou His works will be distributed by Fox, and Zhou's "Rivals" series will be released in the near future.
"Oops!" Xin Li whispered. If she guessed correctly, this is Zhou's further plan to enter Hollywood. The box office success of "Boxer" put Zhou on the radar of several major Hollywood distribution companies, and now he has signed a contract with Fox The distribution company's agreement to cooperate shows that Zhou has half of his foot in Hollywood.
If "Rivals" is released in North America through Fox, it will definitely create a preconceived impression. This is Zhou Wen's way of blocking Debao's progress, using his resources to occupy the market first and let American audiences appreciate hip-hop. unique charm!
¡°I wanted to be the first to cooperate in advance, but in the end I fell behind!¡± Xin Li was instantly frustrated.
Yes, when Zhou Wen started the hip-hop trend, Xinli's keen business sense discovered that this genre would be popular in Hollywood, so after joining Debao Company, she quickly launched a plan to co-produce a hip-hop film between China and the West. However, things are unpredictable. , Debao's internal conflicts are far more complicated than she imagined.
 Debao is ostensibly run by Pan Disheng, but in fact it is divided into three internal factions. On the one hand, there are Sina directors such as Gao Zhisheng who were supported by Pan Disheng. On the other hand, there are the old forces of Curly Shum Jianxun. The remaining faction is The Hong family class headed by Hong Jinbao.
After Zhou Wen withdrew from Debao, Hong Jinbao gradually lost interest. He only drew dividends every year and rarely involved in various internal developments of the company.
Pan Disheng is not very proficient in movies, and the conflict between him and Cen Jianxun has become increasingly prominent. Fortunately, Xin Li airborne over at this time, and finally managed to balance the company's situation. To put it bluntly, without Xin Li in the middle If Xini is combined, Debao's situation is not as good as that of Xinyi City. After all, boss Lei knows how to delegate power and not mix things up, but Pan Disheng got carried away by the grudge between him and Zhou Wen, and the layman leads the expert, and the company is tossing. A mess.
Xin Li started working under such a difficult situation. She was the first to propose cooperation with Warner and Paramount, and was the first to coordinate relations and confirm the script. However, the wrangling between the three parties was extremely difficult, so it was a good time for her to come to the United States with the team. After meeting with the heads of the two major companies, the cooperation finally made some progress. Suddenly, I saw the news of the cooperation between Fox and Zhou in the newspaper. I have to say that the little hope Xin Li had was completely shattered. A great master in the entertainment industry 295
Because Debao has no finished hip-hop genre film, and Zhou has two in his hands. One is Zhou Wen, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Guorong, and Wang Zuxian, which are almost the first-line stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the other is Zhou Cai'er, Li Ming and other brand-new stars. lineup, the box office of both films in Southeast Asia reached more than 20 million, showing strong profit value.
The reason Xin Li kept following up was because Zhou had no connections in North America, but she missed Zhang Jiazhen, who was kicked out by Pan Disheng. It was the man who had settled in Debao for less than a few months and had not even had time to familiarize himself with the position. Zhang Jiazhen promoted the cooperation between Zhou and Fox, and now they are planning to bring the hip-hop film to North America for release!
"Oh my God!" She always calmly adheres to her ideals, but the plan she has worked hard for seven months is about to go down the drain. How can she not be sad, sad, and despair!
"Ali, you, are you okay? There are a lot of words on the net." After filming, Zhang Manyu noticed the change in Xin Li and ran over to ask with some worry.
Xin Li shook her head and forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. Maybe you caught a cold last night. You can go to the filming and don't worry about me."
Zhang Manyu said oh, but still felt a little worried and said: "I see you look so bad, do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"I'm really fine. I'll be fine after taking a rest. Thank you for your concern." Xin Li said.
"Okay, don't hold on. If you feel something is wrong, remember to call us." Zhang Manyu warned her again and again before returning to the shooting area.
"Ayu, what's wrong with Miss Xin?" Zhang Wanting asked quietly.
Zhang Manyu shook her head and said: "She said she had a cold, but I saw that she didn't look as simple as a cold. She seemed to have been hit by some kind of blow. I was really worried that he wouldn't be able to hold on."
Zhang Wanting looked at Xin Li, who was frowning and thinking deeply not far away. At this moment, Xin Li seemed to be trapped in an unsolvable problem, her eyes were full of doubts, and she didn't even notice that the newspaper was blown away.
Zhang Wanting picked up a newspaper and found that there were comments in many places on it, and the comments were all about "Boxing Fighter" and the Zhou family. She nodded thoughtfully for a moment.
Zhang Manyu was not very proficient in English. Seeing Zhang Yuanting nodding after reading the newspaper, she asked curiously: "Director, what happened to Miss Xin?"
"Hey, a pair of enemies!" Zhang Yuanting sighed and said, "Maybe they are related to the Zhou family."
"Ah?" Zhang Manyu scratched her head and said, "No way, is Zhou Wen going to marry Hong Gu?"
This time it was Zhang Yuanting's turn to be surprised. She blinked and said, "What, what does this have to do with Zhou Wen and Hong Gu's marriage?"
"Didn't you just say, a pair of enemies! You don't know yet, if Zhou Wen hadn't come forward last time in the bar, Miss Xin might have been bullied. Maybe Miss Xin secretly liked Zhou Wen at that time. After hearing that Zhou Wen The news that I and Hong Gu are getting married must be heartbreaking!" Zhang Manyu said matter-of-factly.
"Hey, this is all wrong. That's not what I meant by enemies!" Zhang Yuanting said with a bitter smile: "I mean, the Zhou family is going to cooperate with Hollywood, and Miss Xin represents Debao, Zhou and Debao They are a pair of enemies!¡±
"Oh, that's it, but don't you feel that both of them are representatives?"Are they a pair of enemies? "The Internet does not jump."
"This" Zhang Yuanting was speechless and made an expression as if she was defeated by Zhang Manyu.
"Who is getting married to whom? Who has a crush on whom? Tell me what happened in Hong Kong. Do you want me to have a wedding banquet?" Zhou Runfa ran over and asked gossiping.
