    [Almost, I have this plan.  ] Yan Xu nodded. He now has a certain reputation in Hollywood. Although the reputation is not big, he is still somewhat famous. He doesn¡¯t know how long he will stay in the United States, and he is also a  A man who is restless, he wants to use this time to set up the American branch of Dragon Clan here. You must know that Hong Kong movies will gradually decline in the future, and the focus of movies will be concentrated here. Many Chinese film company filmmakers want to go there.  For those who are struggling here, this can be regarded as paving the way for the future.

    [Are you planning to make a movie in the United States?  ] Guidong looked at Yan Xu. He had also appeared in movies when he was in Bai Zhan, and even played major roles in several low-budget films produced by the company.

    [right!  ] Yan Xu nodded, [Now Dragon Films is developing very well in Hong Kong. Although it is not yet the leader in this industry, it is not a problem to rank in the top five. What the company lacks now is the foundation, and it has focused on  Cultivate some personnel and within two years they will definitely be on par with Golden Harvest, or even surpass Golden Harvest to become the leader of Hong Kong films.  So I want to prepare for the company's next development. Although Hong Kong's movies have developed well in recent years, and the total annual movie box office in Hong Kong alone has far exceeded one billion, but Hong Kong is really too small.  It has basically reached its limit, and although Hong Kong movies have developed rapidly in recent years, there are still a lot of leaks. The plagiarism of movies is serious, the expansion of movie types is insufficient, and the market development is insufficient. Most importantly,  What's more, Southeast Asian countries are now beginning to impose restrictions on movies, as well as the invasion of Hollywood movies.  All make this market smaller and smaller.  Coupled with the rise of films from other Asian countries.  The prospects of Hong Kong movies are worrying, so film companies have to find more outlets. Now the cooperation between Dragons and the Mainland is going very well. There are still several co-productions that have preliminary ideas, and Dragons has recently started to produce films in Japan.  We are cooperating with Nikkatsu and will soon establish a branch in Japan. The United States is also one of the goals of Dragon Clan's grand strategy. Now I just happen to be here.  It just starts from me.  ]

    [It seems that you have already thought about it, but making movies in Hollywood is completely different from Hong Kong. Although you have gained some popularity in the United States with Beast Meal the year before last, a director as well-known as you can do it in the United States.  Counting in thousands, those well-known names in Hong Kong and Asia cannot be brought here at all. Although the United States claims to be a free country with no racial discrimination, in fact racial discrimination is very serious.  And Asians are even more severe than black people, so if you want to shoot a movie here.  Not only do you have to start from scratch, but it¡¯s even more difficult than the average white director.  ]

    Gui Dong has been in Los Angeles for several years.  He still knows Hollywood very well. In the nightclubs and dance halls around them, he can often see actors and directors from all over the world who are extremely miserable in Hollywood, and there are many beauties. In the end, he either faces reality or  In desperation, he sells everything he can, even living in the darkest place and dying in a robbery on the street.

    [I know all this, but I also have some advantages, that is, I don¡¯t have to start from scratch like a new company. My current financial resources are completely enough to directly buy a small and poorly managed film company.  This will save me a lot of trouble just in terms of various permissions. There are also some staff in those companies. They are very familiar with Hollywood and the Hollywood system, which will save a lot of time and effort. What I have done  It means finding a good subject matter or a good idea, and then making a good movie and releasing it during the filming period. As for distribution, screening theaters, publicity techniques, etc., we must make use of the resources of the small company.  ]

    [Yan, you want to buy a film company?  Although Besberry knew that Yan Xu was rich, he never imagined that he could spend money to buy a film company. You know, although there are thousands of film companies in the United States, one can even be established with tens of thousands of dollars.  But if a film company has distribution qualifications, no matter how small it is, the price will still be high, at least several million dollars. If it is a slightly more famous company, it can easily exceed tens of millions.  .

    [right!  ] Yan Xu nodded, [It doesn¡¯t have to be a large one, just an ordinary small distribution and production company. There should be many companies like this in Hollywood.  ] There are many film companies in Hollywood. Every year, many ambitious people join them. There are also many who are kicked out by fierce competition. Some of them have never even filmed a movie, and there are also some who have filmed several films.  film company.

    "[If you really want to buy the company, I might be able to think of a way for you.  ] After receiving Yan Xu¡¯s affirmative answer, Bess said again.

    [how?  you know?  ] Yan Xu looked at Besberry and asked, although he said he wanted to buy a company, but for goodWu Yanxu could be said to be in the dark, not knowing where to start. Originally, he wanted to discuss it with Gordon, but now Bess actually said he could help.

    [It¡¯s not a connection. I have a friend who works in a financial company in Hollywood. You also know that many poorly managed film companies will mortgage some of their things to banks, but most of them turn to these financial companies to solve some financial crises. In his case,  You should be able to find some companies there that are not doing very well financially.  ] Besberry said that the financial company he was talking about was actually a loan shark.

    [Then please help me pay attention. If possible, I hope to see the information of those companies as soon as possible.  ] Yan Xu said, now time is money, movies are constantly developing, and the values ??of those movie companies will also continue to change. Although Yan Xu is not short of money now, he is not willing to spend more.

    [That¡¯s no problem, I¡¯ll give you the news soon.  ] Bess said, patting his chest.

    Sunset Boulevard, a street like this, has basically become an iconic street in Los Angeles. It is also a symbol of Hollywood culture and starry stars. It starts from Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles and passes through Ecker Park and Silver River.  Lake, Los Angeles, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood, all the way to the Pacific Coast Highway at Brammar Hill Gardens, on both sides of this street  , not only has many famous buildings, but also is home to countless actors and artists. Among them, the West Hollywood Sunset Zone is the center of the entire Los Angeles nightlife.

    The Directors Guild of America Building is located on Sunset Boulevard. In this luxuriously decorated building, in addition to office areas for permanent directors and staff, a venue for award ceremonies and large banquets, it also has three well-equipped screening rooms.  , many new films that have been rough cut or copies of test films that are about to be released on the market will be presented to members here. It is also a distribution center for directors covering various art industries such as movies, TV, stage plays, radio plays, etc.

    Just from such a building, you can see the development of the American film industry. Here there is not only the Directors Guild, but also the Actors Guild, the Screenwriters Guild and other various organizations.  It is also the existence of these organizations that protects the interests of most film practitioners. They will never be shot for a long time and with high intensity like Hong Kong movies. The staff's daily company time is strictly limited. For some small  Actors or extras don't want to be fired at will like the Hong Kong crew. Basically, these personnel will be summoned through the Screen Actors Guild, and the union will sign a contract. If the crew violates the contract, the Screen Actors Guild will send lawyers to fight for their rights.

    If Yan Xu wants to develop in Hollywood, it is absolutely imperative to join the Directors Guild. The requirements for joining the Directors Guild are not particularly complicated. Of course, you also need to provide some necessary certificates and procedures.  Yes, because Yan Xu saved him a lot of trouble during the filming of Beast Meal, and with the help of Halle Berry, after paying a few hundred dollars in membership fees, Yan Xu became a member of the Directors Guild.  member.

    Although Halle Berry is not a member of the Directors Guild, she is a famous model and has attended the reception here more than once. Moreover, she is also a registered member of the Screen Actors Guild. Registration there is much simpler than here, and there are many extras.  She is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Although she has not filmed a single role, it does not affect her registration.

    [I have to thank you very much today, otherwise I don¡¯t know how long it would take.  ] After getting into the car, Yan Xu looked at the beautiful Black Pearl sitting next to him in the driver's seat and said, "The two of them have not been particularly comfortable getting along with each other in the past two days. If Halle Berry was not the only one who was familiar with all the registration processes today,  It is impossible for two people to have such an opportunity alone.

    Halle Berry is wearing a floral lavender suspender dress. A supermodel like her will definitely look glamorous when she goes out. Of course, today is no exception. She wore two thin suspenders.  On her shoulders, they come together all the way to the middle and lower end of her chest. If there is no skirt underneath, it is like a simple bra, and this kind of wearing also allows a large area of ????skin on her chest to be exposed.  Outside, a pair of charming collarbones, half of the full breasts were exposed, and the cleavage between the tender flesh was as deep as a canyon.

    And the suspender skirt did not extend all the way to the ankles, but stopped in the middle of the thighs and knees. It was a miniskirt. Such a narrow skirt not only made her round buttocks curve completely  It was revealed, and the slender legs were also extremely smooth in front of Yan Xu's eyes, which made Yan Xu's mind couldn't help but recall the scene of being tightly clamped by these legs that night.
