This year's Oscars have come to an end.
"Huang, do you want to go to the Vanity Fair dinner?" Harvey invited Huang Ze to celebrate again.
"go!"
As long as Harvey didn't invite him alone, Huang Ze would still go. After all, in this world of fame and fortune, there are some things that one must participate in, and drinking together is a natural thing.
Of course, only when there are many stars together.
If Harvey invited him alone.
Huang Ze has to think carefully about this.
This thing is not a good person.
Cooperation is cooperation, but you have to be careful of this guy setting a trap for you.
Money is money, but now that he has reached Huang Ze’s level, he doesn’t care much about it anymore. What matters most is people.
If I were like Brother Dong in my previous life, and was photographed wearing a yellow vest, it would be terrible if I fell into that trap.
Safety is still very important.
"Let's all come together!"
Huang Ze invited Jennifer, Sophie Marceau and Jackie Chan.
Just like that, four people arrived at the Vanity Fair dinner, which had only been held for less than two years and became famous in later generations.
As soon as Huang Ze and Jackie Chan appeared, they didn't become the brightest people in the entire venue, but they did attract a lot of attention.
After all, the combination of the two is very popular in the current Hollywood box office market.
At the end of the year before last, "Rush Hour 2" broke the million mark;.
At the end of last year, a movie called "The Sixth Sense" almost reached 300 million.
It has been ranked among the top three in the North American box office for two consecutive years.
It can even be said that, apart from the monster in "Titanic", no one has been able to surpass these two in the past two years.
However, Jackie Chan is an actor after all. He is more popular with the audience, but not so important to the people present. Especially for the stars, Jackie Chan is actually a competitor.
In comparison, it is obvious that Huang Ze, a director who has been highly productive and able to produce high-quality box-office works in recent years, is more popular.
As soon as he appeared, he raised his glass and drank with Huang Ze.
One cup after another, people kept talking to Huang Ze throughout the dinner, and they could hardly stop.
As for the goal, it is nothing more than whether there is a plan for the new film? Which company is planned to distribute it? Have the male and female protagonists been decided?
Several actresses also showed off their old skills and gave that look, the meaning of which was self-evident.
We can have a friendly exchange.
Whether there is a role or not, just consider it as getting to know each other.
If Huang Ze was ten years younger, he would have agreed.
Unfortunately, Huang Ze no longer lacks these now.
Except for someone of Monica Bellucci's level, I won't be easily tempted anymore.
There is another more important reason, that is, Huang Ze likes fair trade.
If you take the initiative to do that, I will give you the role.
Let’s keep things to ourselves and owe nothing to each other.
To avoid launching a ME Too movement in the end, saying that Huang ate the powder without paying.
If you don’t have money, you won’t get noodles.
Thinking of this, Huang Ze couldn't help but glance at Harvey next to him.
Wasn't this person a person who took advantage of everyone in his previous life?
He deceived so many actresses by saying that he could help them win awards and give them certain roles.
But no matter how successful he is, he is just the head of a second-rate Hollywood company, not even the top second-rate. How can he give so many resources to others?
The final result is naturally that what you say does not count.
As the number of characters owed increased, everyone became fed up and, at the call of someone, all stood up and launched the massive Me Too movement, which successfully sent him to prison.
"Huang, what are you looking at me for?" Harvey, who didn't understand what was going on, was a little confused. He smiled at Huang Ze and walked closer to ask.
"nothing."
"Really nothing?" Harvey didn't believe it.
"Actually, there is something going on." Huang Ze thought it would be better to find a topic to cover it up.
Finding topics is a natural collaboration between the two of them.
With such a good start, this fit should naturally continue.
Although his next film will be given to Warner, he cannot give up the cooperation with Harvey. When it comes to winning awards, this fat guy is very good at it.
"Oh?" Hearing Huang Ze say this, Harvey immediately became interested and took a sip from his glass. "Huang, just tell me. How many years have we been friends?"
"Our company has a film, are you interested in distributing it?"
"Did you take the photo?"
"No." Huang Ze shook his head, "I'm not even the screenwriter. I'm just a producer."
"The director is Zhang Yimou."
"Oh, I've heard of him!" Harvey's previous job was to find films from major film festivals around the world, and then distribute them in North America to make a profit. He knew something about Zhang Yimou. "Another great director in your country."
“I’ve seen a lot of his films.”
"But some of his films are..."
"How should I put it?" Harvey smacked his lips. "It's too literary, and unlike Li An, he doesn't have a Western way of thinking. It's hard for his films to sell in the North American market."
"But since you asked me personally, Huang, I am willing to publish it!"
"I think you would be willing to release it even if I didn't ask you in person!" Huang Ze smiled, "This movie is a martial arts movie, starring Li Lianjie!"
"Oh!" Harvey exclaimed.
This reminded him of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Although some places later brought the martial arts movies that Li Lianjie acted in before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" from Hong Kong to North America for screening, they didn't sell much at the box office.
But Li Lianjie hasn't made any martial arts movies since then.
In an instant, Harvey even thought of the way to promote it.
Another Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
Also, since Huang Ze’s name is listed as the producer, we can definitely attribute the film to Huang Ze.
Plus Lee Link.
This movie will definitely attract a lot of people to the theaters!
"Can I watch the movie?" Harvey asked immediately.
"It's not finished yet." Huang Ze shook his head, "I just told you in advance."
"That's no problem. We at Miramax can share the distribution profits."
"I only want 28% of the distribution share!"
This percentage is higher than the share of Huang Ze's films on his side, so Harvey explained, "This is not your work after all."
"no problem!"
"It's a pleasure to have such an initial cooperation!" Huang Ze stretched out his hand and shook hands with Harvey.
"Huang, do you really not want to attend the party I prepared for you? I'll make sure you fly to the sky!" Taking advantage of the close distance between the two, Harvey tried to tempt him again.
"Really not." Huang Ze smiled and shook his head, "I am a man with a family!"
"Ok."
"By the way, your new work?"
"I have a plan."
"But this new film must be co-produced with Warner." Huang Ze said, "You don't know that when the box office of The Sixth Sense came out, Warner was about to cry."
"Hahaha!"
……
After attending the Vanity Fair dinner, Huang Ze did not return to Hong Kong Island directly, but instead went to Hollywood to find an assistant director for his new project, The Matrix. (End of this chapter)
