This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 787 I Want Someone's Life (Please Double the Monthly Tickets)
Paramount held a reception the next day, attended by people from the Motion Picture Association (MPAA) and Paramount executives.

The scene was decorated very attentively, with many Chinese movie posters hung.

Especially the films directed by Jiang Wen and Hao Yun, basically none of them were missed.

Of course, Jiang Wen has made very few films, and there are only a few in all these years, most of which are Hao Yun's films.

Just because of their reputation, Paramount President Brad Grey personally came out to receive them.

Brad Grey is also a producer on The Departed.

In Hollywood, producers have a very high status.

When Brad Grey met Hao Yun, who had starred in "Infernal Affairs", it was no surprise that he had a very pleasant conversation with Hao Yun.

It was just that An Xiaoxi felt bored standing by.

She and Hao Yun played outside until very late last night and got up so early in the morning, so she couldn't help feeling a little sleepy.

This was an official event, and although the list was drawn up by Hao Yun, no one brought an assistant, so An Xiaoxi, who was there to make up the numbers, was no exception.

Hao Yun was worried about her staying in the hotel alone.

Take it with you wherever you go.

"It should be a good attempt to cooperate with Paramount this time. I have great confidence in Paramount." Hao Yun glanced at his dozing girlfriend.

"Haha, I remember the first time I met you was at the Berlin International Film Festival. I actually wanted to work with you at that time." Paramount President Brad Grey said with a smile.

In fact, if Hao Yun was just a great director or a top actor, he would not take him seriously.

He's the president of Paramount.

Last year, Tom Cruise was fired.

It is said that one night, when Brad Grey left the headquarters office and walked towards the parking lot, he was surrounded by a dozen people who put pressure on Brad Grey to show some respect to Tom Cruise.

At that time, Paramount was negotiating with Tom Cruise's film production company about the order of "Mission Impossible 3".

After a brief negotiation, the uninvited guests allowed Brad Gray to get in the car and leave.

Although Brad Grey later said he was not frightened, he had already made up his mind: Cruise had to leave, there was no other way.

What Brad Grey values ​​is that Hao Yun owns a film company.

Moreover, it has the ability to produce independently and has a very good position in the Chinese film market.

This is very important for Paramount to enter the Chinese market.

Moreover, Hao Yun is very enthusiastic about cooperating with Hollywood film companies. Even the Sino-US film exchange was initiated and promoted by Hao Yun.

After chatting for a while, Brad Grey saw that the beautiful girl next to Hao Yun was almost falling asleep, and he knew that he couldn't talk about anything else, so he finally stated his purpose:
“Paramount hopes to develop deeper cooperation with BBMC in more areas!”

BBMC is the English abbreviation of Black Bean Media.

"Co-production?" Hao Yun understood immediately.

"Yes, the quota for introduction is really too few. If we can make a co-production every year, I think our cooperation will be more pleasant." The president of Paramount said with a smile.

"There are many restrictions on co-productions." Hao Yun originally planned to make "Back to 20" a co-production, but ultimately it failed due to lack of time.

"Yes, but there is always one way." Brad Gray is considered an old fox in the business world, but he still can't see through Hao Yun's thoughts. In theory, shouldn't this guy be begging for cooperation?

Why is he so indifferent to co-productions?

Is he really determined to follow the example of Li An and James Wan and enter Hollywood?
"It's not that we don't have co-productions, but the box office results are too poor. This path is thankless. My Black Bean Media is not strong enough to withstand the risks of the project."

Hao Yun shook his head, seeming to be really not interested in co-production films.

Since the censorship of co-productions is more stringent, they must also have certain Chinese elements. Basically, they use Hollywood's understanding to interpret Chinese culture. In addition, more Hollywood directors are invited to choose directors. The result is predictable. In any case, there has never been a profitable movie.

It can be said that co-productions have been moving steadily along the road of failure.

The co-productions with Hong Kong and Taiwan are pretty okay.

In fact, it’s not really a co-production. We’re all Chinese, and there’s no barrier to understanding Chinese culture.

"No business can be successful from the start. Every path is explored. Failure is the mother of success. If there is any risk, we at Paramount can bear it first."

Brad Grey actually wanted to complain that the Chinese government's protection of local films is somewhat pathological.

It's a pity that such words cannot be said on an occasion like today.

He was under a lot of pressure to be in charge of Paramount. Before him, Hollywood strong woman Sheri Lancin had been in charge of Paramount for 12 years. Due to poor performance, she was criticized by the industry for lack of adventurous spirit and was forced to step down.

If he fails to achieve sufficiently outstanding results, the owner of Viacom Group behind Paramount will not give him face.

Now that Hollywood has reached a fever pitch, finding a way out has become a life-saving remedy.

"Then let's try it later." Hao Yun agreed reluctantly.

Failure is the mother of success, but it is a pity that success is ignored.

However, he was originally planning to cooperate with Paramount, and now that Paramount is begging him, it is naturally the best outcome.

After chatting for a while, we reached a preliminary intention for cooperation.

Then the film exchange began.

Perhaps it is because Paramount attaches great importance to Hao Yun and Heidou Media under his control, and hopes that the cooperation with Heidou Media can become an opportunity for Paramount to enter the Chinese market before other Hollywood film companies, so Paramount really invested a lot of money this time.

They have carefully designed a rich curriculum, with guest lecturers including producers, Paramount executives, directors, etc.

Most of the lectures are based on specific movie cases, such as using "Paranormal Activity" to introduce the entire process of a low-budget horror film from creativity, production to promotion and distribution.

The hugely successful Transformers.

There is also "Iron Man" which is being released by Paramount.

Hao Yun listened attentively to the lecture given by the senior executives of Paramount on the stage.

An Xiaoxi lazily covered her mouth and yawned slightly: "I want to sleep at noon..."

She is just an actor, and she really doesn't like being a director or producing movies, nor does she understand how to do it.

So, even though I have worked on so many projects with Hao Yun, I have never been a producer or anything like that.

"Then I'll accompany you in the afternoon." Hao Yun replied in a low voice.

"Aren't you coming to class?" An Xiaoxi followed Hao Yun to play because she was reluctant to part with him and had no intention of dragging Hao Yun down.

"It does not matter."

Hao Yun could just grab someone's attributes and then chat with them for a few minutes to take their things away.

There is no need to take classes like ordinary people.

Moreover, these people’s lectures are too superficial.

It’s not that what I said is useless. For mainland directors, it still has some effect.

But they obviously have something hidden, and what they say is mostly superficial.

There is nothing they can do about it. Even if the president of Paramount asked them to speak nicely, they could just pretend not to obey.

Who doesn't work these days? How can you teach others how to make a living?

"Then let's go back to sleep!" An Xiaoxi couldn't accept a day without a nap.

"Sleep together?" Hao Yun's eyes lit up.

Tears of emotion almost flowed down the corners of my mouth.

"You...you are such a bastard." An Xiaoxi cursed, but she was not angry at all in her heart, and even felt a little happy.

in fact……

It's not impossible to sleep together.

After the morning class, Hao Yun asked for leave on the pretext of feeling unwell. Given his current status and position, neither the people from the Film Bureau nor Paramount would have any objections.

The performance of the President of Paramount today was just short of becoming sworn brothers with Hao Yun.

This is one of the six major film companies in Hollywood.

Even the one ranked last among the top six is ​​still the top six.

What's more, Brad Grey, who just took office in 2006, snatched DreamWorks, founded by Spielberg in 16, from Universal for US$1994 billion.

At the same time, Paramount also reached an agreement with DreamWorks Animation, which was spun off from DreamWorks two years ago, to be responsible for the distribution of DreamWorks Animation films until the end of 2012. DreamWorks Animation is the most profitable animation company in Hollywood.

Last year, Brad Grey led Paramount to release two IP sequels, "Shrek the Third" and "Star Trek", plus the debut of "Transformers", which brought Paramount back to the top of the Big Six after many years.

It can also be said that this is Hollywood's top boss chatting and laughing with Hao Yun.

They didn't know that Brad Grey wanted to find someone to co-produce a film and had other purposes in making friends with Hao Yun, so they naturally attached more importance to Hao Yun.

The two elementary school students who skipped classes went out for a meal and then returned to the hotel to sleep.

Mainly An Xiaoxi sleeps, Hao Yun doesn’t take a nap.

He needs to revise the scripts, and currently has several scripts that have not been completely perfected.

"Let me work in your room. The security here in Miguo is not good. It would be bad if someone breaks in." Hao Yun said seriously.

An Xiaoxi was a little dazed.

Let’s not talk about whether the security in Miguo is good or not, it’s unlikely that someone will break in.

She also lived in Miguo for many years.

However, she was not afraid of Hao Yun staying in her room. She even wanted Hao Yun to hold her in his arms while she slept.

That would definitely make you feel very safe.

"What do you think? If you don't want to..." Hao Yun acted righteously like a gentleman.

"You can stay wherever you want. I'm going to sleep and you can't kiss me secretly." An Xiaoxi crawled into the bed and took off her coat and other things under the quilt and threw them aside.

"Tsk, you really think too much." Hao Yun curled his lips.

If you want to kiss her, I will just rush over and kiss her. Why would you kiss her secretly? She is my own girlfriend, why should I kiss her secretly?

"Humph~"

An Xiaoxi snorted, hugged a doll and closed her eyes.

then……

And fell asleep.

Although Hao Yun had seen this before and had also taken advantage of An Xiaoxi's sleepiness a lot, he still felt inexplicably shocked.

Are you a pig for falling asleep so quickly?

Hao Yun took out the script and made some revisions on it.

The script in his hand is "A Simple Life", and Hao Yun has not yet decided how to modify it.

The script tells the touching story of the "special mother-son relationship" between Roger, a young master who grew up in a large family, and Tao Jie, a maid who took care of him since childhood.

The background isn't that difficult to handle.

Although it is a new society now, there is no such thing as servants and masters anymore.

But in fact, wealthy families often hire nannies.

An Xiaoxi's family has several regular nannies, some who cook, some who take care of gardening and sanitation, and even one who takes care of the family's pets.

With the assistant and driver around her, An Xiaoxi's family is simply a replica of an ancient landlord.

It’s just that everyone is in an employment relationship.

It is a mutual choice, there is no distinction between master and servant.

There are quite a few in Hong Kong, and there are actually quite a few in the capital and Shanghai as well. Some nannies in wealthy families have worked as nannies for 10 to 20 years or even longer. In fact, they are no different from family members.

Of course, if Hao Yun were to shoot the film, he would definitely set the background in Hong Kong.

Even if there is one in the mainland, we cannot tell anyone.

After all, it's a new society now, and this is a feudal remnant.

One point that Hao Yun is struggling with now is whether or not to change the script into a drama with two female protagonists.

That is, the male protagonist "Roger" was changed to the female protagonist Luo Jie.

To put it simply, it was just a matter of making some changes to let An Xiaoxi play the leading female role, and find an old lady to act with her.

An Xiaoxi usually only shoots two dramas a year, and this year will be no exception unless something unexpected happens.

One of the movies this year is Your Name.

If "Sword Rain" is not filmed, there will be one more missing, and there will be no problem with pairing it with "A Simple Life".

Hao Yun was not worried about being accused of being a bootlicker.

Others cannot lick his own woman, but he can lick her however he wants.

Thinking of this, Hao Yun looked back.

Even with his psychological quality, he immediately lost his composure.

The air conditioner was on in the hotel room and the temperature was a little high, so An Xiaoxi kicked off the quilt.

She had just taken off her coat and everything else, and now she was only in her underwear.

The sleeping posture is not elegant at all.

From Hao Yun's perspective, he could see that the curve of her snow-white neck was like a piece of beautiful jade, extremely delicate and seductive.

The snow-capped peaks are beautiful, and the charming scenery cannot be concealed whether viewed from afar or up close.

This witch wants to kill people!
