Los Angeles, Burbank area hotel.

Director Ang Lee, producer Jiang Zhiqiang and music master Tan Dun settled in the hotel.

Ang Lee, needless to say, is the first Chinese film director in Hollywood;

Jiang Zhiqiang is not a small name. He is a well-known film producer and one of the few people who can bring oriental films to the United States. Even Zhang Yimou and Zhang Guoshi's "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" were released overseas, and he was the first pusher;

Tan Dun, who is a well-known music master in the Chinese circle, has won numerous awards at home and abroad, and in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he also participated in the creation of the logo logo music and award music.

All three are famous Chinese!

"With the entry of American capital, our "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can open up the international market, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to rely on our strength alone."

Producer Jiang Zhiqiang said solemnly.

Tan Dun echoed: "Although Wald Pictures is an emerging film company, its development has been particularly rapid in recent years, and its recent overseas distribution results are also outstanding. If they participate, it will be excellent. But now The question is, will they agree?"

Director Ang Lee has a bitter face.

Will Wald Pictures agree?

He has absolutely no idea!

Why did he go to the East to shoot the Chinese movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" instead of staying in Hollywood, America?

Because he screwed up the last Hollywood movie!

In March 1998, Ang Lee was invited by Universal Pictures to be the director of the movie "Riding with the Devil".

The film, which cost $35 million to make, stars Tobey Maguire as the male lead.

It stands to reason that the movie "Riding with the Devil" is a movie about the American Civil War, but Ang Lee is a director who is good at the genre of literary and artistic films.

No, to be precise, the film was never released in North America at all!

Universal Pictures after watching the final film "Ride with the Devil\

,"Li An was rejected immediately.

What are you doing?

Can literary films make money? !

With a production cost of $35 million, can Universal Pictures not be angry? !

Therefore, this time the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is almost the work of Ang Lee's return to Hollywood.

"Oh, by the way. Zhiqiang, don't you have contacts with the high-level officials of Sony Columbia? Are they not interested in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?"

Tan Dun said suddenly.

As a well-known Hong Kong filmmaker, Jiang Zhiqiang is well known to many overseas film companies, especially with Sony Columbia.

"Forget it."

Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly said excitedly: "Little devil is just a little devil, his mother is a little devil, and he works hard. In February, I asked them to say it properly. They even boasted that the production cost of less than 20 million US dollars, they Absolutely and unconditionally. However, when I looked for them again in early April, she turned her face and refused to admit it."

"Oh?" Tan Dun frowned.

"A few days ago, I went to them again. They promised to participate in the investment, but they were only willing to invest 5 million US dollars. This is the result of my hard-working persuasion." Jiang Zhiqiang said angrily.

Tan Dun heard the words, and immediately glanced at Li An who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word.

This is Hollywood!

Hollywood only chases winners!

When your film is successful, the bosses of those film companies will kneel and lick you; when your film fails, sorry, they will abandon you without a trace of emotion.

Directors, actors, producers, all of them.

"Ding Ding Ding~~~"

Just then, the phone in the hotel room rang.

"Hello, who is it?" Jiang Zhiqiang picked up the phone in a bad tone.

After all, he has nowhere to vent his anger now.

"what?"

"Are you really Wald Pictures?"

"Well, okay, okay, we'll be there the day after tomorrow, oh no, we'll have time tomorrow too, don't worry, we'll be able to show up at the Wald Films Building early tomorrow morning."

Anger, doubts, surprises, ecstasy... all kinds of emotions are constantly presented on Jiang Zhiqiang's face.

Jiang Zhiqiang's performance naturally fell into the eyes of Li An and Tan Dun.

After all, Jiang Zhiqiang's expression changes are too rich.

"Guys, you guessed it right."

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "The person who just contacted me was Wald Pictures. We made an appointment to have a specific interview in the Wald Pictures building tomorrow morning."

Tan Dun immediately said: "This is undoubtedly good news."

As a Chinese-American Tan Dun, he is naturally aware of the recent development of Wald Pictures.

The two movies "My Big Greek Wedding" and "300 Spartans" have made Wald Pictures in and out of the limelight recently.

"Li An, make a statement." Jiang Zhiqiang pointed at Li An and said.

Hearing this, Li An, who has always been shy, also rarely said a few more words.

Wald Pictures is an emerging film company and a leader among Hollywood's second-tier film companies, especially for discovering new directors and new actors, and is famous in Hollywood.

Zach Snyder, M. Shyamalan, and Christopher Nolan are the three directors who are well-known directors discovered by Wald Pictures!

Even Zack Snyder, a well-known figure in the field of advertising and MV, and his theatrical movies are the result of Zucker's full support.

The rookie actors it has excavated are even more numerous.

Scarlett Johansson, Joaquin Phoenix, Charlize Theron, James McAvoy...

......

the next day.

Ang Lee, Jiang Zhiqiang, and Tan Dun arrived at the Wald Pictures Building.

Kevin Love, the director of the distribution department of Wald Pictures, and Kevin Feige, the vice president, are personally responsible for the reception of Ang Lee and the three of them, which really makes the three feel quite respectful.

After all, Wald Pictures is now one of the top Hollywood studios under the Big Six!

"Total production cost of $15 million?"

"no problem!"

"We, Wald Pictures, can cast all!"

Kevin Feige expressed his position immediately after reading the script and shooting plan of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which really excited and shocked the three of Ang Lee.

"Mr. Feige, are you kidding me?" Jiang Zhiqiang said excitedly.

What a surprise!

Just say all the votes, it's embarrassing!

Kevin Feige said solemnly: "All votes are all votes. The credibility of our Wald Pictures is worthy of your trust. After the contract is signed, the first fund of 5 million US dollars will be issued immediately."

Immediately, the three of Li An nodded again and again.

The three of them all ate in the United States, and naturally understood the word-of-mouth and reputation of Wald Pictures.

Wald Pictures arranges the remuneration of directors and actors to be relatively low compared to their peers. But there is never any arrears of salary and dividends. Well, not once.

The reputation of Wald Pictures is well-known!

a few days later.

Wald Pictures officially signed a $15 million contract for the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

Zucker couldn't help but be overjoyed after reading the contract.

"The production cost was 15 million US dollars, but its box office in North America exceeded 100 million US dollars, becoming the first foreign language film in American film history to exceed 100 million US dollars."

"The previous record was held by Robert Bernini's Life is Beautiful, which ended up with $57.6 million."

"Also, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's global box office performance is as high as $205 million."

Zucker is not only interested in the box office revenue of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but also the influence of this film in the future.

The actors of the film are well-known Oriental actors such as Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Ziyi.

The more successful Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is, the more influential Wald Pictures will be in Asia!

"This is simply a beautiful thing to gain both fame and fortune!" Zu Ke laughed.

" "The first more sent.
