The villain died because he talked too much!

Xia Tian, ​​who is the screenwriter himself, naturally knows this truth deeply.

Therefore, after he decided to eradicate the Philees family, he called Michelle without any hesitation.

"Michelle, are you familiar with the Washington Daily News?" Xia Tian asked.

"I've had some dealings before." Michelle nodded.

The Washington Daily News is one of the top ten newspapers in the United States. She used to help summer business with public relations, so well-known media like this are naturally inevitably involved in dealing with them.

"Then you contact its boss, I hope he can fire his editor-in-chief." Xia Tian ordered.

The reason why Dean Phileus hired private detectives to investigate the case was just because he had a few money. Now he was fired, it depends on what he still has to rely on.

"Okay." Although Xia Tian's request was a bit strange, Michelle agreed happily.

Although she didn't know why Xia Tian wanted the Washington Daily News to fire its editor-in-chief, since it was his order, she would do her best to do it. Other reasons do not require her to care about.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Xia Tian smiled slightly, then hung up the phone.

...

"Mr. Xia, this is the shortlist of several directors of "Home Imperial". You can see which one is more suitable." Long Mayer handed a stack of information to Xia Tiandao.

In fact, the company will handle the matters of choosing directors and actors. However, Xia Tian has been idle recently and has to intervene, so Long Mayer has to let him take charge of the matter.

Xia Tian nodded, then took the information and started to look carefully.

He found that the first director candidate given by Ron Mayer turned out to be the famous Steven Spielberg.

"Do you think he is suitable?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

"I think he is very suitable. Steven Spielberg can be regarded as one of the most box office directors in recent years. "ET", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Jaws" directed by him are both well-known and popular. Moreover, his movies are imaginative and innocent. I think "Home Imperial" directed by him must be very exciting," explained Long Mayer.

Xia Tian nodded. With Steven Spielberg's ability, it is certainly more than enough to direct "Home Imperial". However, because Spielberg is one of the most box office directors today, his pay is also quite high. In addition to the eight million US dollars in pay, there is also a 10% global box office share.

Based on the global box office of "Home Imperials", Spielberg can get more than 50 million US dollars with this movie alone. This is a considerable amount of money. To be honest, Xia Tian is really reluctant to let it go.

In fact, because the script of "Home Imperial" itself is very good, it doesn't require the director's deep skills to make it well and achieve a high box office. Chris Columbus, the director of "Home Imperial" in his previous life, only directed two movies before directing this movie.

So summer first put Steven Spielberg down and then continued to read other candidate director materials.

Nearly an hour later, Xia Tian finally finished reading all these materials. To be honest, the directors selected by Long Mayer are pretty good.

There are Robert Zemikis, the director who directed "Back to the Future", Richard Donner, the director who directed "The Seven Treasures", and Ivan Reitman, who directed "Ghostbusters", etc.

These directors are all very famous directors and very talented directors without exception. In addition to directing "The Seven Treasures", Richard Donner has also directed films such as "The Demon", "Superman", and "The Deadly Weapon". Ivan Reitman also directed "The Dragon Brother and the Rat", "The French Open Heroes", etc.

Because of this, these directors have a lot of pay, and they all require box office dividends. Even the cheapest directors have to share tens of millions of dollars in profits.

Seeing this, Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a little depressed. To be honest, he really didn't want the director to share such a large amount of money. Although they are indeed worth the price, he still hopes to save a little.

After all, Columbia Pictures is still in debt now, and 10 million US dollars is very important to it, so if you can save it, you can save it.

"Ronald, I think it's best to choose some new directors who are not expensive and talented to direct this movie." Xia Tian then said, "We don't need every movie to be filmed by a well-known director."

"Well, how much do you plan to hire a director?" Long Mayer asked for advice when he saw him say this.

"It's about 300,000 to 500,000 US dollars." Xia Tian thought about it for a while.

For $300,000 to $500,000, you should be able to hire a good new director.

"Mr. Xia, this price is too low." Lang Meyer frowned when he heard this.

Only $300,000 to $500,000 can you hire an ordinary director. How can you trust the new director without the market test? If the filming is not done well, wouldn’t the investment of tens of millions of dollars be ruined?

"It's not too low. Spend more time and more thoughts to find it, and you should be able to find it." Xia Tian insisted, "If I hadn't been busy now, I would have directed this drama myself. My pay was only a few hundred thousand dollars."

"If that's the case, then I suggest you might as well transfer someone from your Hong Kong to shoot." Long Mayer said with a lip service when he said this.

"Hey, you reminded me of your words." Xia Tian slapped his hand when he heard this.

The script of "Home Imperial" is very good. Basically, whoever shoots it will be popular. This opportunity is handed over to the director of Hong Kong, and it is really a waste of money.

"Oh, why didn't I expect it before? It's so dark under the light!" He slapped his head and said.

"You really plan to invite a Hong Kong director to film this movie?" Long Mayer regretted seeing that Xia Tian really had this idea. If he had known this, what would he do if he had said this?

Hong Kong directors are not familiar with Hollywood's operations. Do they know how to film? What if the filming is a mess? Wouldn't it be that tens of millions of dollars are wasted?

"What's wrong with the Hong Kong director? Am I a Hong Kong director?" Xia Tian immediately raised his face and said when he saw his tone was full of disdain.

To be honest, the director skills of Hong Kong directors are also very good. At least in Xia Tian’s opinion, people like Wu Yusen, Wang Jiawei, Wang Jing, Chen Jiashang, Lin Lingdong and others are enough to make a living in Hollywood.

In fact, Wu Yusen, Wang Jiawei, Lin Lingdong and others have all gone to Hollywood to develop and have achieved good results.

This time, "Home Imperial" is directed by them, and I believe it should be less than a little bit worse. And this is indeed a very valuable opportunity for them.
