    The company address agreed upon by Lee Chung-hee and Mel Gibson is the headquarters of Empire Pictures in Los Angeles, located near the University of Southern California, not in the city center.  At one o'clock in the afternoon, Mel Gibson arrived early. He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He kept thinking about what he was going to say and how he wanted to guarantee that Li Zhengxi would take out the money to invest. At half past eleven, he had already finished his meal, and then  I couldn't stay at home any longer, so I rushed downstairs to Empire Pictures early.  Then, he kept practicing the wording for the next meeting in the car. No wonder he was so nervous and excited. It would have been anyone else. He had been working on the movie for more than a year, but he had hit a wall at every turn and received almost no promises.  He was almost desperate. How could he not be happy and nervous when he grasped a life-saving straw at this time  It was almost 1:50 before Mel Gibson forced himself to calm down, then opened the door and entered the building where Empire Pictures is located. This is a six-story building, the most typical house here, under Beverly Hills.  , unlike the city center, there are not many high-rise buildings.  To be honest, Mel Gibson doesn't know where Lee Chung-hee works, because as far as he knows, apart from making movies, Lee Chung-hee spends more time in South Korea. It can be said that his second brother Lee Moon-hee is completely responsible for things here.  of.  However, what reassured him was that when he appeared in the lobby, one of the two girls at the front desk greeted him. Then, a woman appeared in the lobby. She was petite and pretty, but  He is over thirty years old.  She greeted Mel Gibson and introduced herself as Han Mi-joo, Lee Chung-hee¡¯s personal assistant.  then.  Just take him in the elevator to the president's office on the sixth floor.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????:  Even if he didn't come to beg Li Zhengxi, Li Zhengxi's current status is already much higher than Mel Gibson's, especially his relationship with Alice, which made Li Zhengxi suddenly become a noble son, so he didn't have any extravagant expectations.  Li Zhengxi went downstairs to pick him up.  Went upstairs and arrived at the reception room, but Li Zhengxi did not appear immediately.  Instead, he waited for almost half an hour before Mel Gibson showed up.  "Sorry, I was just discussing something with Mr. Spielberg." After Li Zhengxi came in, he greeted Mel Gibson politely. Han Meizhu had already told him about this matter. Of course, the most important thing is that he just saw it with his own eyes.  Spielberg bid farewell to Lee Chung-hee.  Therefore, he was not worried that Li Zhengxi was deliberately hanging him there.  Breathed a sigh of relief.  So, he spread his hands and said with a smile: "I'm just here early," and then after a pause, he picked up yesterday's topic and handed the script and other things to Li Zhengxi.  Regarding this matter, Lee Chung Hee had already made a plan, so he did not try to sell it to Mel Gibson. When he heard what he said, he pretended to read the script and asked: "I would like to ask how much investment you need for this film, and then make it now."  The film has reached that level. Do you have investors? What is the approximate ratio? " Mel Gibson also came prepared and did not dare to hide anything about Lee Chung-hee's problem, because investors must verify it if they want to give money.  of.  Now he is afraid that Li Zhengxi won't do it, so he won't dare to use the usual little tricks of producers and directors to make more money.  "Well, the script is all right. Then, I have a rough idea about the split shots, and about a third of it is completed. Once the funds are in place, location selection and actor recruitment can be started immediately. During this period, the split shots will be completed.  It can be done The money is no problem, and we can start shooting in two months. As for investment, my budget is US$25 million to US$30 million, which should not exceed US$30 million," Mel Gibson said  At this point, he paused for a moment, because he was a little embarrassed to say what he said next. It was because he didn't get a dime now. If he said it directly, he was afraid of aggravating Li Zhengxi's worries.  After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said as he had thought before: "Well, the investment is currently 10 million US dollars, accounting for about 40% of the total investment. The rest is still being discussed with other producers in Hollywood," said  After finishing, he was so embarrassed because he suddenly realized that the following sentence was redundant. He was discussing with other producers. After all, Empire Pictures was also a part of Hollywood. Didn't they know about the preparations for his movie?  Condition.  And that 10 million dollars is what he plans to pay for himself. To be honest, it is not impossible for him to pay 30 million US dollars for himself. However, for an old guy like him, art and life must be taken into consideration at the same time. He can  He is not the kind of passionate young man who would devote his life to art and just pat his chest and say I voted for this movie.  Like Hollywood producers, he also has concerns. If he loses all his pants in the end, then art is nothing. Therefore, he would rather find several more companies than pay for it himself. This is also American.  way of thinking.  Lee Chung-hee vs.??'s answer was just a nod. After he met Mel Gibson yesterday, he called up the system and took a look, only to find out that he was in another time and space. After he couldn't help it, in September,  I finally gritted my teeth and found two friends, and then spent almost half of my own money to collect the US$30 million to make this movie.  In other words, in the end, Mel Gibson gritted his teeth and paid for it himself when he was desperate. Therefore, Li Zhengxi quite admired him for having the courage to give it a try.  Of course, at this time, Li Zhengxi did not want him to have no courage, so he said: "Can those investments be withdrawn? What I mean is that I am not willing to cooperate with other people I am not familiar with, so as not to appear during the filming of the movie.  "A dispute or something like that," Mel Gibson was shocked by these words. It was not because Lee Jung Hee said he would withdraw his investment, but because Lee Jung Hee said there was a dispute during the filming of the movie. You know, this movie is his hard work and he needs to control it himself.  , he cannot allow others to point fingers at will, which is why the producer he is looking for is unwilling to pay.  Of course, there is a reason for Mel Gibson¡¯s persistence. If the producer just dictates the movie casually, the movie that comes out will not be what he wants.  However, soon, he heard what Li Zhengxi said next.  Another breath of relief.  Then.  He realized that he seemed to be particularly nervous today, "Well, I mean, this movie is yours, the script is good, and the ideas are good. I also agree that you can make a good movie, but you know. If the investor  If there is too much, everyone will not have the same opinion, and then there will be chaos in the direction during filming " Mel Gibson almost stood up and knelt down, shouting that he was a friend. Of course, more importantly, Lee Jung Hee affirmed him.  The script and his ability, that is to say, Empire Pictures will invest in this film and give him the greatest freedom.     this.  Isn't it what he has dreamed of and worked hard for for more than a year?     therefore.  After hearing this, Mel Gibson took a long time to react. Then, for the first time, he was very frank. He even scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Honestly, Dr. Li, that 10 million is actually  I plan to use my company iconproductions to take on the responsibility,¡± said, fearing that Li Zhengxi would misunderstand, and said: ¡°Really, I am also optimistic about this movie, so I sincerely plan to invest.¡± Li Zhengxi thinks you don¡¯t have a dime!  It would be better not to pay it out, but at this time, he couldn't say that and smiled, "Haha, really, but like I just said, I am willing to pay all of this money, if you have any doubts  "If Mel Gibson said it, and Lee Chung Hee is optimistic about it, he is very determined. After all, Lee Chung Hee seems to have the golden touch.  In this case, Li Zhengxi did not force it. This was an unexpected surprise. He did not care too much about money, but cared more about extensive influence and connections.  With the consensus in place, the next thing was simple. We discussed the production first, and finally agreed to invest 30 million, with Empire Pictures providing 20 million, and iconproductions, a joint venture between Mel Gibson and his friends, to contribute 10 million.  Ten million.  Then, distribution was handed over to Empire Pictures.  In another time and space, although Mel Gibson raised funds for filming, he could not find a film company for distribution at the beginning. It was not until the excellent reviews from all parties after the test screenings encouraged him that many religious people who had watched the film  People in the industry also expressed their appreciation for his work, and finally Newmarket took over the distribution work. Newmarket is not a big label, so we can see the difficulties involved.  Therefore, Mel Gibson has no objection to handing over the distribution rights to Empire Pictures, but is very happy. Of course, he also has concerns about this matter. Although Empire Pictures was only established not long ago, it has been in the industry from the beginning.  Production and distribution are fully rolled out.  Coupled with the good performance support in the past half year, the current distribution channels are already good. Therefore, Mel Gibson is naturally extremely satisfied with his distribution.  After finishing Mel Gibson's affairs, "War of the Worlds" is basically determined to be handed over to Spielberg. A new record company, Empire Music in North America, will soon be established with the participation of Madonna and Katy Perry, and Boa has been handed over to Spielberg.  Madonna cultivated her, so Lee Jung Hee stayed in New York and Boston for three more days. After playing with his family, friends Tony, Duncan, and Natalie Portman for a while, he returned to South Korea again.  At this time, "The Fast and the Furious" has been in theaters in the United States for four weeks, and has taken in more than 208 million U.S. dollars at the box office, and this is still going on. Although it is not as popular overseas as in the United States, it is only less than 100 million U.S. dollars.  income. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That??????????????According to estimates, the final global box office is likely to exceed US$400 million.  Therefore, there is no doubt that this will be another successfully invested film by Empire Pictures, and it will also be the beginning of a brilliant series. Anyway, the second part is already in preparation.  Time passed very quickly, a month passed in the blink of an eye. Back here again, Lee Jung-hee's work was temporarily relaxed. "Pirates of the Caribbean" was still in the process of special effects, and it would take about two months to complete, and the cuts he wanted to make had already been made.  The editing is almost complete, and the sound effects and other work are also proceeding in an orderly manner, but that has nothing to do with him.  Therefore, after getting off the plane, the first thing Li Zhengxi said when he saw Kim Tae-hee who came to pick him up was, "Honey, it seems we have time to go on our honeymoon!" Kim Tae-hee's response to him was a direct kick, but then he was happy again  She hugged him and got into the car, and then she stayed close to him and couldn't bear to leave.  It was not easy to sleep until he woke up naturally. Therefore, even if it was five o'clock in the morning and the biological clock of practicing martial arts woke up, Lee Jung Hee still hugged Kim Tae Hee's delicate body and stayed there until almost nine o'clock. Even Kim Tae Hee was embarrassed before getting up together.  When I got up, the entire family was there. This extended family was not just Go Soo Jin, Kim Mi Yeon, and Oh Yeon Soo, but also included Kim Tae Hee¡¯s father Kim Jin Joong, her younger brother Kim Hyung Taek, Lee Jung Hee¡¯s father Lee Gong Tang, his eldest brother Lee Se Hee, and his uncle.  Jin Guangnan et al.  In short, this is a gathering of the whole family. This is also because during the summer, everyone¡¯s business is stable and developing well. As soon as Li Zhengxi said it, his father agreed.  "Only his second brother Li Wenxi is still picking up girls in Los Angeles, claiming to be taking care of the company's affairs, and he is too busy to get away from it.  Kim Tae Hee is not afraid of her mother, let alone her father, and Kim Mi Yeon is aggressive with her. Therefore, she usually likes to be with Lee Jung Hee at home, but today, because Lee Gongtang is here, she is much more well-behaved.  He did not let Li Zhengxi carry him downstairs. When he came down, he poured tea obediently, and then sat next to Li Zhengxi. He did not dare to lean on him, but he also knew the rules and sat down half a body back. This is the Korean way of male superiority and female inferiority.  The ultimate expression.  Wu Yanxiu looked funny, but she was her daughter after all. She didn't mention her, but Jin Miyan jokingly said with a smile: "Taixi, what's wrong with you today? You're so good, I'm surprised!" "Aunt!" Kim Taixi pouted.  He glanced at her angrily, then quickly lowered his head, still acting obediently. Jin Hengze couldn't stand it anymore and curled his lips, "Stop pretending to be a lady. Who doesn't know that you, a damn girl, usually shows your teeth and claws!" Kim Tae Hee wants to strangle her to death.  This boy, this brother, not to mention giving her face, just wants to embarrass her all day long. That's not all. After all, she is also the guy he admires the most, but this boy actually thinks that she is  She is not worthy of being a sister. She is extremely suspicious that this guy is not her biological brother anymore.  However, no matter how much she hates her, she cannot be rude. However, her mother Wu Yanxiu pinched Jin Hyung-taek angrily and scolded: "Ah, you bastard, that's your sister!"  He kept his mouth shut. Although the financial lifeline was not in the hands of this old man at all, as long as Li Zhengxi didn't mess around, money was not a problem at all, and he couldn't spend too much. But he was his son, and that was my father, subconsciously  Still a little scared.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
