577【Huanxing Company】
This time when he came to the United States, Luo Yuan brought five people with him.
There are two assistants and three bodyguards respectively. If there is any danger, Luo Yuan has actually never encountered any danger. But with his current status, it has become inevitable to bring two or three bodyguards. Even if there is any danger, Luo Yuan has never encountered any danger.
He wanted to refuse, but Ai Xiaoai and others would not agree. After all, Luo Yuan's current status was extraordinary.
Ai Xiaoai even wanted Luo Yuan to bring more bodyguards.
But considering that he was keeping a low profile when he came to the United States this time, Luo Yuan only brought three bodyguards with him in the end. Wang Qi was also considerate and prepared four rooms for Luo Yuan and his party, one for Luo Yuan and two assistants each.
One room, and the two bodyguards live in the same room. This is for the convenience of the bodyguards' work.
That night.
Wang Qi also took Luo Yuan to have a meal at a restaurant with local American characteristics. This was much better than the last time Luo Yuan and the crew went to Saipan and passed by the United States. Although in comparison, Luo Yuan still felt
Chinese food is the most delicious food in the world.
but……
Interestingly, despite being considerate and enthusiastic towards Luo Yuan, Wang Qi never mentioned anything about work, and Luo Yuan did not take the initiative to ask about it. He just followed Wang Qi's arrangements calmly. In the process, Wang Qi wanted to invite Luo Yuan.
He went to the bar and was rejected by Luo Yuan.
He doesn't like too noisy atmosphere.
When Wang Qi learned what Luo Yuan meant, he smiled and said, "There are also bars in the United States, where three or two old friends can have a drink. It won't be too noisy. We can even book the place."
"All right."
Luo Yuan nodded in agreement.
After he refused to go to a bar that was too noisy, Wang Qi still insisted on suggesting that he go to the bar. This meant that he had something to discuss when going to the bar, so Luo Yuan nodded in agreement. Wang Qi was not the kind of person who had no sense of propriety.
The result is indeed the case.
Not long after Luo Yuan sat down at the bar, listening to the soothing blues music, and chatting with his assistant Zhao Rui about the differences between American and Chinese customs, Wang Qi led a handsome white man over, and the white man also brought
He has a bodyguard, so he obviously has an extraordinary status.
"Director Luo."
Wang Qi smiled broadly: "This is Adrian, the producer of the American Universal Star Film Company, one of my few friends in the United States."
Then Wang Qi introduced Luo Yuan in English.
Adrian looked at Luo Yuan, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he reached out his hand and said in not particularly fluent Chinese: "Nice to meet you, Luo, I have watched your animated movie, and I personally like that one very much."
"WALL-E."
"thank you."
Luo Yuan communicated directly with the other party in English: "I have also watched many movies produced and invested by your company Huanxing. Your company is very excellent."
"Thank you for your praise."
Interestingly, this Adrian still insists on communicating with Luo Yuan in broken Chinese. Although Luo Yuan's English is not bad, it is not particularly fluent either. This causes Wang Qi, as the middleman, to speak English sometimes and Chinese sometimes.
, listening to Luo Yuan, the two assistants on the side tried hard to suppress laughter.
"Let's have a couple of drinks."
Wang Qi called the waiter, and Luo Yuan tried his best to follow the local customs, but after all, he was not used to drinking foreign wine, so he ordered the bar's home-brew beer, which tasted at least better than the whiskey Adrian drank.
"It is said that Chinese people like to drink and talk business."
Adrian smiled and said, "Please give me your advice."
Wang Qi took a sip of wine and was in a more relaxed state. It was obvious that he had a good relationship with Adrian. This was also the information Wang Qi deliberately told Luo Yuan. This Adrian was quite reliable.
"Guidance is out of the question."
Luo Yuandao: "But cooperation is possible."
Huanxing's status in the United States is equivalent to the status of the Big Seven in China. They are all the top film companies in the world. As a producer of this company, Adrian does not know the specific level, but since Wang Qi regards the other party
Bringing him here shows that the other person is someone who can speak to the top management of the company. This judgment is based on Luo Yuan's new relationship with Wang Qi, so there is no problem in reaching a preliminary cooperation intention with such a person.
"What cooperation?" Adrian asked.
At this time Wang Qi spoke: "Adrian, Director Luo wants to arrange for a new movie to be released simultaneously around the world. It's the "Jurassic Park" that I showed you the 20-second trailer before."
"Wow!"
Adrian exclaimed somewhat exaggeratedly: "This is a very, very good movie. Although I have not watched the whole movie, the last few seconds of the trailer really surprised me!"
I was so excited that I returned to English.
However, although Luo Yuan and Adrian are not particularly proficient in the language, fortunately they can understand each other, which saves the effort of having Zhao Rui or Wang Qi act as translators: "If Huanxing is interested, we can conduct a
For the movie viewing party, you might as well invite people from your company who can make decisions. If you decide to release it, I need the West to invest more than 50 million in publicity..."
"Oh, 50 million is not enough?"
Adrian shook his head repeatedly: "Director Luo, I have no intention of offending China's film market, but in terms of obsession and fanaticism for movies, as well as confidence in a movie, we in the United States are obviously doing better than China. Let's take a careful look at Luo's statistics.
The director should have understood that almost every once in a while, we have movies with an investment of more than 500 million released, but China rarely has movies with over-investment. Because we are too afraid of losing money, we would rather invest less than less.
Some investment means that the effect of the movie will be compromised..."
This guy is also educated.
Luo Yuan said: "My movies will not be subject to investment restrictions. The markets are different, so we cannot compare them simply and crudely, because the box office output capacity of the United States and even the entire West is higher, and the possibility of recovering costs is also higher.
It's obviously easier here."
"All right."
Adrian shrugged: "I won't talk about this topic, because it may involve the competition for film development in various countries around the world. I am interested in "Jurassic Park" and can also propose to the company to release the film, but the premise is
The content of this movie can really conquer the senior executives of our company."
"no problem."
Luo Yuan is very confident about this: "You might as well come back to me for a while after you go back, and we will organize a movie viewing party. I am very confident in this movie."
"certainly."
Adrian likes to laugh. I wonder if this guy thinks his smile is charming: "If the movie allows us to see a big enough market prospect, we are willing to invest 100 million or more in publicity. Director Luo said
The United States is not an unknown person, I believe the effect of propaganda will be good!"
Luo Yuan nodded.
Adrian added: "I know that Crimson is the second largest entertainment company in China after the Seventh, and has unparalleled potential, so whether the cooperation on "Jurassic Park" is finally reached or not, our two companies can establish
Friendship…”
"certainly."
Wang Qi, who had been acting as an audience member, finally spoke: "Why else would I call you here? To be honest with you Adrian, I may also join Scarlet in the future. This matter is still a secret, but we are friends, and I don't want to
I’m hiding something, I’m sure you’ve guessed it.”
"I think it's okay."
Adrian said: "I recognize Wang Qi, your ability."
Luo Yuan tapped the table with his fingers, and a certain plan in his mind seemed to gradually become clearer. He suddenly said: "Adrian, I am also very interested in cooperating with Huanxing. It just so happens that I have a very promising project.
It’s a good project. It needs to be shot in the United States. I will choose the script and director, and the team Huanxing will provide it. As for the film investment, Scarlet can do it by itself, or let Huanxing participate. After all, I hope Huanxing can release this movie in the future.
…”
"What project?"
Adrian was a little curious.
Chapter completed!
