Please remember the URL of this site: ; Please recommend the publicity introduction to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post bar! As long as the other party can create enough benefits for themselves, let alone China, even if it is the Sahara Desert, Ryan will personally Go meet and talk to him.

The next day, Ryan came to the location in Yunvquan, Hangzhou, where the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filming a fight and scenery scene. He met Ang Lee, whom he hadn't seen since the film project was approved.

In fact, Ryan handed over the entire film to Ang Lee. Except for a small number of supervisors and interns from Jenkins Films—such as Chen Jiazheng, who has just entered the industry—the crew is almost all staffed by Ang Lee and Xu. Those recruited for meritorious service are mainly Chinese.

When Ryan came, the crew was still busy with filming. This can be regarded as a Hollywood tradition. If there is no extremely important matter, even if God comes, he will not take the initiative to interrupt the ongoing filming.

In front of the camera lens, several actors were flying around hanging on steel wires, and their poses were very beautiful.

"Wow, it's so cool." Taylor held Ryan's hand, and gradually opened her mouth, but she was playing in the film company and knew that she couldn't make too much noise now, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Ryan, they Are you filming a sci-fi movie?"

"Honey, they are shooting a martial arts movie." Ryan also lowered his voice, it seems that after the movie is released, most audiences and media in North America will regard it as a science fiction movie.

"Martial arts?" Taylor obviously didn't understand.

"It's kind of an action movie."

Just after Ryan's explanation, Taylor seemed to think of something, "By the way, when I went to Sydney, I also saw Nicole and the others flying around with steel wires, but they were not so exaggerated."

She suddenly pointed to the back of the camera, where there was a guy full of bumps sitting, "There was also him on the set in Sydney at the time, was he an action director?"

Following the guy's hand, Ryan found that the man was Yuan Heping. Immediately nodded.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the crew temporarily stopped filming, Ang Lee walked over, "Mr. Jenkins."

"Call me Ryan." Ryan shook hands with him.

"Okay. Ryan."

After all, he will develop in Hollywood in the future, and Li An understands that there is no harm in having a good relationship with Ryan, "Can we go over there and talk?"

He pointed to the temporary resting place next to him.

"Okay." Ryan nodded.

The location of the crew’s temporary rest area is very good. It’s on the edge of a lush green bamboo forest. Although it’s summer, the weather in Hangzhou isn’t particularly hot. The Yunu Spring is also a famous summer sanctuary. Can bring a little bit of coolness.

"Ryan. Can I play by myself?" Taylor didn't have the patience to sit on the bamboo chair and listen to him and Ang Lee talking about work.

"Don't make trouble."

Seeing Ryan nodded, the guy shook his curly hair and left here, and the two bodyguards immediately followed.

"This is the best West Lake Longjing tea."

Under the gaze of several actors resting on the other side, Li An filled up tea for Ryan. "Although it is different from the black tea we are used to drinking, it has a unique flavor."

"Well...it's really different." Ryan put down his teacup and got straight to the point, "Li, I've already passed the samples and plans you sent, to be frank. With a production budget of 10 million dollars, for this Movies are enough."

"Ruen, come here, after the scenery and Mr. Yuan's action design, I found that under the original theme, the picture can be made more beautiful. The action and fighting can also be more elegant. I also plan to improve the soundtrack To make some articles, Tan Dun, who lives in the United States, has already made part of the soundtrack, and I plan to invite Yo-Yo Ma to play it."

This is just to make the movie better, and Ang Lee understands that this is not enough. "If the film's North American box office does not reach five times the production budget, I will automatically give up the salary and dividends."

Ryan was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Ang Lee to be so courageous, but thinking about it, if he didn't have courage, how could he dare to put all his eggs in the film "Brokeback Mountain" after the fiasco of "Hulk" in his previous life.

How much was the investment for this movie in the previous life? Ryan frowned, not having any impression.

The films he can remember with production budgets are the few of the few, most of which are mega-blockbusters with overwhelming publicity, such as "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, while "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" , All he knows is that the North American box office has exceeded 100 million, and the global box office has also reached 200 million US dollars.

"How much additional investment is needed?" This is what Ryan cares about.

"Six million dollars!"

Slowly buckling the deputy on the bamboo chair, Ryan thought for a while and said, "I agree in principle, but Ms. Stewart needs to review it, and it will probably take a while."

"As long as the post-production starts, it's fine." Ang Lee's spirit was lifted, and with enough funds, he was confident to hit the Oscars.

When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was approved, Ryan passed the script. Although there are some changes in the details, the theme of the film is the same as in the previous life. Ang Lee is a smart man, and he knows that pure martial arts films are impossible to impress North American audiences. audience, and Oscar judges.

Asian clothes and American art are the right choice.

This film is also a co-production, and Jenkins Films accepted a small amount of investment from Xu Ligong. Otherwise, if it is purely produced by Jenkins Films, it is very likely that it will not pass the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in the future.

Ang Lee went to shoot the movie again. After Ryan met, he saw an acquaintance standing not far away, and went over to say hello.

"Hi, Mr. Yuan, I didn't expect us to meet again." He smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Jenkins." Yuan Heping squeezed for a long time before showing a smile.

Ryan didn't mind either. After all, he had done too much poaching, and it was normal to be hated.

After the crew began to rest again, Ryan found Taylor. The guy sat quietly on a chair, concentrating on the make-up artist fixing the headgear for a young actress. His eyes blinked like very interested.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Ryan sat in the chair next to her.

"Learn Chinese hairstyles." Taylor tugged at his golden curly hair, "Ryan, if I change to this hairstyle during the school celebration, will it cause a stir?"

"It's not for you." Ryan shook his head.

Blond hair and blue eyes paired with a pure Chinese hairstyle are simply neither fish nor fowl.

Taylor wrinkled his nose, stood up, and asked, "Are you done with your work?"

"uh-huh"

"Okay then, we can go play."

The current weather is not suitable for going too far away. Ryan and the others just walked around the vicinity of the Yunnv Spring. In the eyes of Taylor, George and others, the scenery is full of exotic customs, but he came for nothing more than Ordinary.

"It is said that Su Dongpo..."

In a shop selling tourist souvenirs, Chen Jiazheng was explaining the origin of a souvenir to Rui En and Taylor, "Su Dongpo was a famous poet in ancient China. He liked the spring water of Yunv Spring very much. The water bag was specially marked with bamboo and given to the monks in the temple as a proof of water collection, and later generations called it "water transfer charm".

"Is it this?" Taylor flipped through the bamboo tube in his hand, then returned it with a lack of interest, and asked, pointing to a section of emerald green bamboo, "What is that? Can bamboo be sold in stores?"

"That's the bamboo flute, a traditional Chinese musical instrument."

Listening to Ryan's instrument, Taylor's eyes lit up immediately, and he said to Chen Jiazheng, "Chen, can the boss bring it here?"

The emerald green bamboo flute was quickly taken into her hands. Taylor looked it up and down carefully, scratched his curly hair, "Ryan, how do you play this?"

"I'll try."

Although it was the first time for him to use the bamboo flute, Ryan learned the flute briefly when he was in London before, and he played a piece of "Brandenburg Concerto" without much effort.

"Choose it!"

In addition to the bamboo flute, Taylor also specially selected a few other ones, "Dad, Mom, Austin, Dummy, Fat Girl, and Nicole..."

Then, she stopped Ryan who wanted to pay, "I'll pay myself!"

"Are you rich?" Ryan was curious.

Taylor wrinkled his nose, and took out a wallet from the bag that was slanted across. There were a few green dollar bills in it.

"I like the pocket money." She explained, "This is a gift from me to a friend, and of course I have to buy it with my money."

Fortunately, there are probably foreigners who often come to visit here, and the boss does not refuse US dollars.

"Ryan, your influence is not as great as I imagined."

When several people were resting in a pavilion, watching the tourists coming and going, Taylor sucked the juice vigorously and muttered, "It's been such a long time, and no one knows you."

After all, now is not the future, when Hollywood stars are far from being prosperous, Ryan even changed into a completely different look from Jack Dawson, the shoulder-length black hair and the large sunglasses on the bridge of the nose are the best camouflage.

"Comparatively, this side is still closed." It was Chen Jiazheng who spoke, "especially the media and entertainment industry."

"You guys are going to join, is that the challenge that the film industry has to face?" Ryan remembered what he and other Hollywood companies are doing, "Of course it is also an opportunity for change."

"I heard that the negotiations have made significant progress." Chen Jiazheng nodded.

"Jenkins Films is going to speed up its development here."

Listening to Rui En's words, Chen Jiazheng was somewhat complicated. He knew that his classmate and friend had always been coveting the market here.

Moreover, the commercial production produced by Jenkins Films is indeed excellent. The introduction of such films is definitely not something that current domestic films can compete with.

Joining is a huge opportunity. In fact, Ryan and several major Hollywood giants are joining forces to put pressure on the federal government in order to win more benefits for Hollywood in bilateral negotiations, especially in terms of the number and knowledge of imported films. Protection of property rights.
