Hello 1983

Page 590

Hurricane Film and Television is simply a grass-roots team that doesn't even have a professional viewing room, let alone its own distribution channels.

So everyone, big and small, followed into the conference room.

There were already a few successful people in suits sitting there, and they couldn't help frowning when they saw a group of children coming in.

After closing the curtains, everyone started to watch the samples, the youth school music and dance film, of course it is youthful, with a bit of inspiration, that's probably the case.

To say how high the quality is and how powerful the film is is pure nonsense.

Probably the only bright spot is that the performance of the Hurricane Girls is eye-catching, and there are several original songs in the film, which are very beautiful.

Especially the part played by Maria in the movie, who rescued a dolphin at the beach, and then practiced the dolphin sound with the dolphin, both the picture and the sound are quite brilliant.

And the name of this film is actually called "Dolphin Girl".

After the curtains were opened, a guy with a big belly said first: "Oh, man, I fell asleep watching it, and then I was woken up by the sound of howling ghosts and wolves."

Another middle-aged lady also added: "In all fairness, this movie has all the elements of a bad movie. You guys wasted an hour and a half of my precious time. Farewell."

This is really a bit too harsh, there is no way, a small company like Hurricane has no human rights at all in front of those big publishers.

Everyone in the Hurricane Company, including Chambers, blushed and turned pale, feeling insulted.

Liu Qingshan also felt that the mouths of these guys with upturned nostrils were a bit too bad.

It is true that he also felt that the film was mediocre, but it was not as bad as they said.

The last bald representative also spoke: "This kind of movie, if it weren't for the hurricane girl supporting the scene, probably wouldn't have a chance to be released in theaters, so let's rent this movie for $[-]."

Just because of Hurricane Girl's songs, it's more than [-], okay?

Moreover, it cost nearly 80 US dollars to shoot this movie, so you just give 5 US dollars, are you ashamed to say it?

This is probably the reason why the shop bullies customers.

"Don't sell it, you guys are too bullying!" Maria put a lot of enthusiasm into this movie, and the girl's eyes are a little red now.

The bald representative shrugged: "Eighty thousand dollars, it can't be higher."

Chambers was also angry, but he still managed to force a smile: "Mr. Chris, you can see that we spent 80 yuan for the filming. Can we discuss this price again?"

"It's worth the price!" The bald man named Chris also stood up, as if you disagree with me and I will leave immediately.

"A group of dogs look at people as inferior!" Xiao Li has never experienced such birdishness:

"You disappeared from my eyes immediately, believe it or not, I bought your company directly, and then told you people to pack up and leave!"

His temper tantrum really bluffed those people. Chambers also hurriedly stood aside and told them about Xiao Li's family background.

The bald guys immediately turned up and down, and became more polite.

Xiao Li was naturally even more arrogant: "Open your eyes and take a good look, this is Mr. Mountain. Some time ago, he made a huge investment of one billion dollars from the stock market and bought some of your small distribution companies. It's not like playing of!"

It turns out that this is the real boss!

Of course the bald guys knew about the news. At that time, they were still jealous of that guy's shit luck, but they didn't expect to see the rightful owner today.

In this country where money is paramount, if you have status and money, you will be respected.

After urgent discussions for a while, the bald head and the others finally settled on the rules: "Sirs, this dolphin girl, let's use the account sharing model."

Liu Qingshan, who had never spoken, was always smiling, and he shook his head lightly: "This movie can be given to everyone for free."

free?

The bald Chris and others were overjoyed. Although they didn't expect the box office to be too high, they could still reach 200 million.

But Chambers, Maria and others looked at Liu Qingshan in surprise: The boss won't be confused by anger, right?

Liu Qingshan continued to laugh and said: "If you are interested, we might as well make a bet. If the next movie produced by Hurricane does not have a box office of over [-] million, then this "Dolphin Girl" will be given away for free."

"If the box office of the next movie exceeds 1000 million, then the distributor of this movie will have to pay Hurricane [-] million dollars."

The people in the room became short of breath: how many films like this can be produced in a year with a box office of over [-] million?

And Xiao Lao Si and Shan Xing's big eyes were bent: Big brother is going to bet with others again!

Chapter 636 An Ode to Peace

The film market in North America can be roughly divided into three aspects: producers, such as small film companies such as Hurricane Films.

The second is the issuer, and the third is the theater chains. The operation of the entire industry has been marketized and standardized, just like a commodity produced by a factory, first given to distributors, and then retailed.

Of course, some big film companies also have their own exclusive distribution companies.

After hearing the bet proposed by Liu Qingshan, those representatives were all stunned: how could a box office of [-] million be possible?

With the current volume of Hurricane Films and Television, if it can produce a movie with a box office of tens of millions, it will be very popular.

[-] million, let's dream.

These few are almost rushing to compete for this opportunity.

But thinking about the 1000 million bet, they all calmed down.

Just in case, if the Hurricane Company really produced a big production with a box office of over [-] million, then their small bodies could not afford such a loss.

The few people who came today are not even considered as senior executives in the company, at most they are young people, and they do not have the right to make such decisions.

"Mr. Mountain, can we make a phone call?" The bald guy named Chris asked first.

Liu Qingshan made an excuse gesture, he believed that there must be companies that would take the bait.

Even if they had to spend 1000 million, but if the box office was over [-] million, the distribution company's share would far exceed this figure, so no matter how you calculate it, it won't be a loss.

And there is a free film, how can they share hundreds of thousands of box office.

Chris was the first to return to the office, with a happy expression on his face: "Mr. Mountain, we are an innovative entertainment agency, and we are willing to accept your proposal."

Liu Qingshan was also a little surprised, he didn't expect this bald man to be the representative of CAA.

Creative Performing Arts Agency, referred to as CAA, is the largest entertainment agency in the United States in this era.

Well-known movie stars in Hollywood, famous singers in North America, and even sports stars are all signed artists of this company.

CAA is not only a brokerage company, but also provides a full range of services. Take movies as an example, from script to shooting, to review and release, they can provide one-stop service.

For example, a wealthy businessman is so idle that he takes out millions of dollars and wants to make a movie.

Well, you only need to pay for it, and don’t worry about the rest. You can definitely see the movie you want in the theater.

But the final effect and box office can only be hehe, no one can guarantee this.

"But Mr. Mountain, the president of the company, Mr. Ovitz, wants to have an interview with you." Chris added.

This kind of agreement, the money and interests involved in it, are indeed beyond his control.

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Then make an appointment."

On the day before New Year's Day, there was such a news in the newspapers in Los Angeles: The talented musician and the youngest investment tycoon on Wall Street officially entered Hollywood.

In the news, the bet between Mr. Mountain and CAA was talked about with relish, as well as the very eye-catching 1000 million and [-] million.

Afterwards, many newspapers began to follow up. Perhaps Mr. Mountain's sudden wealth aroused people's hatred of wealth, so the media was full of ridicule.

It's nice to talk about being dazzled by victory.

Some said that Mountain was overreaching, some said that he was self-inflated, and one media even advised Mr. Mountain: Go back to the music circle.

There was a lot of trouble for a while.

This also caused the movie "Dolphin Girl" to earn more than 500 million US dollars at the box office after it was released.

This is also called CAA making a small fortune. It has to be said that Mr. Ovitz is really good at marketing.

In terms of Hurricane Film and Television, it is not all fruitless. The youth musical "Dolphin Girl" is still loved by some young people, and Maria has also gained her own title: Queen of Dolphins.

Taking advantage of this hype, Chambers of Hurricane Films also launched auditions: he began to search for child stars across the country to star in the film with a box office of over [-] million.

As soon as this news came out, Mr. Mountain was criticized by the media again. Fortunately, Liu Qingshan followed Master in the consultation in Chinatown during this time, otherwise, he would be thrown rotten eggs if he didn't keep it all.

Liu Qingshan didn't pay much attention to the turmoil from the outside world. These were discussed between him and Ovitz, and they were part of the hype.

Ovitz also admired Liu Qingshan's hype plan and invited Liu Qingshan to join the big family of CAA.

Liu Qingshan is not a professional, so of course he would not agree. Instead, he recommended Maria, Lao Cui and Sister Zhang to Ovitz.

After all, the resources of CAA are giants in the industry, which will help these people in their future development.

In Los Angeles Chinatown, the atmosphere of Christmas has basically dissipated, and I am more used to Chinese New Year here.

These days, many Chinese in Chinatown are very happy.

Because a medical team that gathers well-known doctors from China and Hong Kong Island goes deep into the community and provides free free consultations.

Regardless of whether those foreigners believe in Chinese medicine or not, most Chinese do anyway.

Moreover, the medical skills of this medical team are really superb, and many old problems of Chinese people have been alleviated and cured, which has also won great prestige for the medical team.

Unfortunately, starting tomorrow, this medical team will be transferred to another community.

As a result, many beneficiaries sent small gifts to the medical team to express their gratitude, because they would not accept money if they gave money.

"Not bad, it's a bit of a tradition that the common people supported the soldiers."

Liu Qingshan took a mung bean cake from an old lady, tasted a piece, it was sweet and soft, tasted very good, and then handed it to the little brother and the others who ran over.

These little guys had a great time in Chinatown every day, and made several friends.

In the words of Xiao Lao Si: It's almost the same as in China.

Liu Qingshan just nodded with a smile, he didn't want to tell his sister, if it wasn't for Du Yunfeng's cover, they wouldn't know how many times they would have been robbed, or they might have disappeared altogether.

But these too dark things, Liu Qingshan doesn't want to give too much input to the younger sisters, so let them spend a happy childhood happily.

The medical team packed up their things and returned to the villa to finish their meal. Du Yunfeng also respected the dumb grandfather and his team very much.

Except for the first few days, the medical team stayed here all the time.

Early the next morning, Liu Qingshan got up for morning exercises as usual, but the current morning exercise team already has a considerable number of people.

In addition to those original people, there are also Song Yizhen and Master Fan, who were also taught the standing skills by the dumb grandfather.

Today, the number of people is even greater, and four handsome young people have joined the team.

It's the quartet of the Beyond band. They finished their tour on the African continent and came here to join Liu Qingshan. They just arrived yesterday.

It is obvious that some kind of change has taken place in the four people, but everyone is a little hard to say what it is.

But Liu Qingshan knew that it was a kind of improvement of belief and sublimation of belief.

After the morning exercise, the medical team took several vehicles to the slums.

That's right, even in Los Angeles, one of the largest cities in the United States, there are still poor people.

The little girls thought it was the same as Chinatown, so they wanted to follow, but they were kicked back by Liu Qingshan.

On the contrary, the band of four, carrying guitars and following along, of course they are not afraid. On the African continent, they have seen more poverty than this.

In Jia Kui's words: They can play the guitar and sing, and maybe they can attract a few patients.

After all, this place is different from Chinatown, and they don't know Chinese medicine very much.

Before coming here, Liu Qingshan thought it was a slum, but he didn't know until he got there, it wasn't at all.

There are tents on the side of the road, which are colorful, one by one, and there are some tatters scattered around the tents.

There are also things like containers that have been dragged from nowhere, and there are people living in them.

Most of them are black, and they are all homeless vagabonds.

Houses in Los Angeles are relatively expensive, and not everyone can afford them.

After parking the car, the members of the medical team got out of the car and lifted down the tables, chairs and simple examination bed, but found that the roadside was full of tents, and there was no room at all.

"Hey buddy, you guys are not welcome here, find another place!"

A shirtless Xiao Hei emerged from the nearby tent. He waved his arms at Liu Qingshan and the others, and started to chase them away.

Look at that posture, he seems to regard Liu Qingshan and the others as the same kind.

"Boy, speak up!" Li Tieniu didn't know what politeness meant, so he grabbed Xiao Hei's neck and lifted him into the air.

The guy was wearing shorts on his lower body, his feet were off the ground, and his legs were kicking wildly: "Dude, put it down, you're going to strangle me, cough cough."

After Li Tieniu put him down, Xiao Hei covered his throat again, coughed for a while, and then packed his things cursingly:
