Chapter 200 Declined
Chapter 200 Declined
Regarding the new project "Taken", Wang Hao didn't know how to complain about the inefficiency of Hollywood film companies.
You should know that the script of this movie was successfully written by the screenwriting department of Galaxy Pictures in April 07.
Even though Columbia Pictures has expressed strong interest, due to the efficiency issues inherent in large companies, it has not yet been officially confirmed. The two parties are still in the communication stage, and the film has not yet been officially launched.
Galaxy Interactive Entertainment has been communicating with Colombia regarding this matter.
However, no one else in the entire company knew about this project except Wang Hao and a few people in the screenwriting department.
Wang Hao still has great trust in the screenwriter department employees who have signed confidentiality contracts.
So if the problem is not with Galaxy Interactive Entertainment, then it is with Columbia Pictures that leaked the news.
In response to Wang Hao's question, Lu Zheng smiled with a hint of pride.
"We at Starlight do have some connections in Hollywood, so we also know how great this project of yours and Columbia is."
Then he looked at Wang Hao sincerely and said:
"Our Xiao Tian does want to cooperate with you, Director Wang. If she can participate in this project and play the leading role, our Starry Film and Television is willing to invest 100 million, no, 200 million to invest in this film."
"Wow, two hundred million! US dollars?" Wang Hao asked while pretending to be drunk.
Lu Zheng's smile froze, and he could only smile awkwardly, "Director Wang is really a joker. With 200 million US dollars, what kind of movie can be made?"
"Hahaha!"
Wang Hao also smiled in agreement, giving Lu Zheng some face, and then said:
"Mr. Lu, to be honest, my project is not short of funds right now."
He is not bragging. Perhaps other directors would still face risks in making a movie, but Wang Hao has established a firm foothold in the commercial film industry thanks to the success of his previous films.
Nowadays, investing in his movies means making money. There are a lot of people who want to wave money to participate in his projects. Wang Hao has no shortage of funds to make movies.
Therefore, Lu Zheng's investment in his movie was not a timely help, but Wang Hao's way of helping him to get rich.
Lu Zheng reacted to this very quickly. Before that, he was still holding the mindset of a businessman entering the entertainment industry for the first time, thinking that everything could be done with money.
Moreover, the directors, producers and others he had met before were indeed very respectful to him as the God of Wealth, so much so that he had an illusion that everyone in the entertainment industry was the same.
Nowadays, it seems that having money does not necessarily mean you can be successful in the entertainment industry.
Lu Zheng is indeed a qualified businessman. After seeing Wang Hao's attitude, his thoughts quickly changed. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said:
"I was wrong. Director Wang, a director of your caliber, why would you care about such a small thing? I'll drink a glass of wine first!"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then poured himself another glass and picked it up again.
"But Director Wang, I still say that Xiao Tian really wants to work with you. Please give her a chance."
Wang Hao thought that the call in the morning was from his uncle after all, and he was not sure about Jing Tian's background at the moment, so he raised his glass and clinked it with the other party, and said carefully:
"Mr. Lu, Miss Jing's image is indeed good, but there is no need to rush into filming. After all, Miss Jing is still young, and now is the time for her to learn and improve.
Anyway, with you, Mr. Lu, by her side to protect her, I believe Miss Jing will have many opportunities by then."
Wang Hao's words were a bit too much, but Lu Zheng didn't seem to listen at the moment. He thought he was trying to shirk responsibility. Just as he was about to speak, Jing Tian suddenly interrupted and asked:
"Director Wang, can I take the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam?"
Wang Hao smiled and nodded. "Sure, with your appearance, you will definitely have no problem getting into the Beijing Film Academy."
Jing Tian seemed very satisfied with Wang Hao's words and smiled happily.
With her interruption, Lu Zheng could no longer continue what he was about to say, and could only raise his glass to toast Wang Hao again.
Wang Hao could also see that he hadn't given up yet.
Thinking back to what he just said, that he has some connections overseas, I'm afraid that if my approach doesn't work, the other party will definitely find another way.
So after drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Hao, who seemed half drunk, gave the other party a few more pointers.
"In fact, Mr. Lu, you don't need to rush. My film project is a series. An actor can only play one role in this series of films. Do you understand?
It's just one role, and if it's played now, the actor won't be able to play other roles in the series in the future.
Unless the character itself is very important and is an important figure connecting the entire series. "
"What about the Columbia project?" When Lu Zheng heard this, he understood what Wang Hao meant and asked immediately.
Wang Hao stretched out his finger and shook it.
"The Columbia project is just a spin-off of the previous "Wushuang". It is also a male-led movie. Among the female roles, the only one suitable for Miss Jing is the daughter of the male lead, a supporting role among supporting roles."
At this point, it is already very clear.
Lu Zheng had an idea in his mind. Although he didn't completely trust Wang Hao, he understood that the other party had no intention of deceiving him.
After all, this movie is going to be released eventually. If this role is important, and Wang Hao said this at this time and deceived him, then he would offend people.
So the two sides didn't talk about this matter anymore, they just chatted and kept in touch. At the same time, Jing Tian also exchanged contact information with Wang Hao, saying that if she had any questions about the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam, she might need to consult him.
Wang Hao did not refuse, but nodded with a smile.
After finishing his meal, Wang Hao called his uncle on his way home and reported what happened tonight.
"Okay, I get it. You can make the decision on your own as long as you don't offend anyone."
His uncle's voice came from the other end of the phone and Wang Hao nodded.
"Don't worry about that, I've always been kind to others.
But, little uncle, where do Lu Zheng and Jing Tian come from? "
"Why do you care about her background? Are you attracted to her?"
Lu Guotao joked on the other end of the phone, and then said:
"Speaking of which, Lu Zheng is somewhat related to our family. His grandfather and your grandfather are brothers within the fifth degree of mourning, but they haven't been in contact for a long time.
As for Jing Tian, I'm not very clear either, but I heard that it's related to the leaders above. Anyway, don't mess with that girl. "
Wang Hao smiled and shook his head. He didn't really intend to provoke the other party, but based on his talent and appearance, who knows, the other party might be attracted to him.
So, as a successful man, there are really a lot of worries.
