Chapter 86: Going to the Sea (Part 2)
The car came to a remote little white building.
This is the headquarters of Baike Company.
Even the overseas issuing company they jointly established is actually here, just a small room downstairs, with little assets, and the main employment is still the ones who work in the company.
People use their own people to do your work and make net profits.
However, there is no other cooperation except Pojunxing.
Li Xianyun came here this time to see if he could sublimate.
Baike Company is not a first-tier manufacturer in Hollywood, and even in the second-tier company, it is still at the bottom.
Li Xianyun has not pursued cooperation with big names since the beginning, because the bigger the demands, the higher the demands, it means that his voice will decline.
So whether you are looking for a company or a director, you like to start from the small and medium level.
The same is true for Baike Company.
At this moment, we came to Baike Company and met several senior executives first, so we all came to the conference room together.
The chairman of the board of directors of the Beket is Amory, who is a chubby white old man.
After listening to Charles' brief statement, Aimory said a lot, and translated it next to him: "Chairman Aimory thinks your idea is interesting. But they still hope to cooperate with you at the technical level."
"No, there is no technical cooperation, and there will be no technology transfer." Li Xianyun shook his head directly: "There is no conditions to discuss in this matter."
Translated and retelled, and after a moment, he said: "What kind of cooperation model do you hope for?"
"Huami co-production, production is completed by us, and distribution in the United States is completed by you. In addition, the screenwriter will use you as the main body, first make the English version of the script, and then make Chinese modifications."
"This means that Baike will become a subordinate party and we will not have the right to speak in this regard."
"I think what you value most is making money." Li Xianyun came over and said, "You don't need to consider how to make movies. You also have the least risks you take. The only thing you need to do is to give full play to the advantages of your landlords to clear obstacles for us in terms of policies, with the smallest investment and the greatest reward!"
"Mr. Li Xianyun, filming movies in the United States is not only a policy issue, but also many issues, including the Actors Association, Screenwriters Association, Directors Association, Insurance Companies, and Animal Protection Organizations..." The translator was constantly translating.
Li Xianyun waved his hand to stop it: "No, these problems do not exist. Nothing is needed except for the screenwriter. Insurance companies do not need it. Unless they are filmed here, most of them will be filmed in China. In the United States, only some outdoor scenes can be filmed, and indoor scenes can be completed in China."
"But this is not a co-production film. What should the actors do? Without American actors, what is a co-production film?" Everyone was surprised.
"Of course there will be." Li Xianyun smiled and said, "There are American students in China, aren't they? They are also Americans, but they are not American actors. But if they are used, they are."
A group of senior officials looked at each other: "There are no stars? How can I sell them?"
Li Xianyun was very sure: "There may be stars, but there are certainly no stars in Hollywood. I know how expensive their pay is, and I know how annoying those industry associations will be. I won't cause trouble for myself. I only need the ability to accept content that conforms to American culture, and I don't need to have a status!"
It can be said that Li Xianyun’s ideas are completely opposite to those of the current film and television industry!!!
Now that China's film and television industry is doing co-production, celebrities must have foreign celebrities, and scripts are domestic cultural tendencies.
But Li Xianyun is determined not to use foreign celebrities, but the script can be close to American culture.
The whole reverse operation.
Because in his opinion, the cost savings of this reverse operation are not a little bit or two.
Taking the Great Wall as an example, the national masterpiece invested 1 billion yuan but ended up losing a huge loss.
Why?
Although Matt Dai Meng is well-known in China, his domestic appeal is limited after all. The plot, which mainly focuses on the ancient history and culture of China, has limited audiences abroad.
It's not pleasing to both sides.
On the other hand, I don’t need big names from abroad, but I can shoot Chinese stories in the West, why do I have to go to the East to be a hero? Orientals can also go to the West to be a hero.
At worst, two heroes can be tied with each other, one in the West and one in the East.
The Western Kung Fu plays the gun and swipes the Speed Car as the ADC, and the Eastern Kung Fu melee Happy Wind Sword mid-lane output.
All work!
Isn’t that Brother Long’s movie like this?
Hollywood has had this routine, and no matter how stupid the Americans are, they can accept it.
It is easier to buy back to China.
The cost is still low.
There aren't so many tricks when filming.
The Great Wall is a domestic filming. If it is put in the United States, the cost will be much higher.
Li Xianyun's ideas made the senior executives of Baike Company collectively confused, but thinking about it... it seems that it makes sense.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if the truth is not reasonable. The key is that this film seems to be a co-production, but in fact it is the main feature of China. The so-called co-production is just to better open up the US market.
Let's work for you?
Li Xianyun understood their thoughts and smiled and said, "Yisheng Media still has something that can interest you."
Um?
Everyone was puzzled to see him.
Li Xianyun said: "In the past two years of cooperation, I believe you have a certain understanding of Yisheng Media, but I don't know if you know about the housing collapse insurance?"
A group of foreigners shook their heads collectively.
They really don't know about this.
Speaking of which, Lao Mi has always been like this. If they were interested in learning more about other countries, there would be no so-called "mysterious East". Such a huge country is there, and its products are supplied all over the world. How could you even be "mysterious"?
Li Xianyun didn't say anything nonsense and just showed them the movie of changing the Jade Phoenix Chai to them.
As soon as this film was released, all the senior executives instantly looked straight.
I'll fuck!
Is this a head change?
Are you sure this was not taken in two batches?
Don't pay attention to the plot, just look at the characters on both sides and compare them repeatedly.
Although Wu Guo and He Junwei's heads have been replaced, the others have not changed.
The movements and expressions are exactly the same, which proves itself that this is indeed a head change.
Everyone looked at Li Xianyun in surprise.
This technology...
Too awesome.
There are also stars in Hollywood collapsed houses.
However, the public does not have that high demand for celebrities, so those who collapse houses are generally illegal. As long as they are not illegal, the general matter is not serious.
But Hollywood has another idea.
That is the face-changing method that Li Xianyun has never performed in order to create stars.
According to this technique, I just need to find an actor to finish filming and just change my face!
Because He Junwei's acting skills are better than Wu Guo, he still has to perform, but if you don't pursue body movements, find a famous actor to make some expressions and paste them all, and the problem will be solved.
Which is the most expensive lens for Marvel?
As we all know, it is the last funeral scene in Marvel 4.
It is extremely difficult to concentrate all the big names together.
With this... are you afraid of a ball?
The actors participating in the performance are ready to schedule, and those who don’t participate can also be famous and look up. You can change them at any time if you want to change them, and it is more convenient for the producer to control the actors.
The shooting method that Li Xianyun couldn't use became a treasure in Hollywood.
