Chapter 1138 (1/2)
On the day before Christmas, other executives of DreamWorks arrived in China with the proposed contract, ready to carry out a formal signing ceremony with Li Mu. The cooperation between DreamWorks and Makino image is the beginning of the in-depth cooperation between the Chinese film industry and Hollywood.
The whole DreamWorks attaches great importance to this cooperation. They and Li Mu take what they need respectively. They want to use the film ticketing system to enhance their influence in the North American film industry. Li Mu hopes that DreamWorks and Spielberg can do a good job in promoting the ancestors of China and also improve the overall level of Chinese films.
In order to sign the contract, Li Mu summoned Ning Hao, Teng Huatao, Tang Wei, Huang Bo, Zhang kexuan and Du Wei to Shenzhen. Before signing the contract, he talked with several big men of DreamWorks, including Spielberg.
This detailed discussion is arranged in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel in Shenzhen. Although the signing ceremony will be held here tomorrow, today's meeting is not open to the outside world and the media.
For Ning Hao and Teng Huatao, they are both new directors. Although the box office of those years has reached 400 million and created the history of Chinese film box office, Teng Huatao is still very modest because he knows in his heart that 40% of the box office of this film comes from the story itself, 30% from the publicity and promotion, 20% from the cast , it's very good to have 10% influence.
Ning Hao's crazy stone hasn't been released yet. At present, it's a new director who is more modest and cautious than Teng Huatao.
The DreamWorks giants, especially Spielberg, may not have much money, but their influence in the film and television industry is definitely world-class. For Ning Hao and Teng Huatao, they feel that they are the players of the second-class clubs in China who meet Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, they are excited and humble.
In this interview, Li Mu put forward relatively specific requirements for DreamWorks: ”first of all, in the future, for the films that both sides cast together in China, it is necessary to use the actors of Makino image, and the proportion of the important actors in China and the west is about 5:5;
the big guys of DreamWorks immediately said:” no problem, according to 5:5, if there are special themes, they can also give more Chinese actors The tilt of. ”
Li Mu also put forward other requirements: ”in exchange, DreamWorks films in the United States and other parts of the world, from the production team to the cast, must provide a certain number of bottoms for the Makino image. Makino image has the right to provide no more than two Chinese actors and no more than two crew members in every real life movie of DreamWorks in the future. ”
on the one hand, this requirement is to let the production team and actor team of Muye image learn from Hollywood experience, on the other hand, it is also to help the actors of Muye image enter Hollywood. Li Mu knows that the export of Chinese film and television industry to the domestic market is the driving force. He doesn't want to let go of the opportunity that actors go to Hollywood to participate in a movie with zero pay and become a front-line or even super front-line after returning home.
DreamWorks has no bargaining over Li Mu's requirements. It takes all the orders. The only goal is the muying ticketing system. As long as Li Mu doesn't propose to reduce their share proportion, they will never give any suggestions to Li Mu's requirements. After all, Li Mu's 20% shares are not given in vain, even if they don't need money, they also need to exchange resources.
Seeing DreamWorks has a very good attitude, and Li Mu is also very satisfied with it. He said to Spielberg and other DreamWorks leaders, ”in the future, if our director of Makino image doesn't have a play to shoot, I will send them to DreamWorks to learn how to make movies in Hollywood, from script, preparation, casting, shooting, editing and later stage, all these are what they need Where to learn. ”
Spielberg said with a smile, ”Mr. Li, you can rest assured that every production team of DreamWorks will be open to you to observe in the future. During the process of watching, our staff must know everything and say everything.”
Li Mu nodded and looked at Ning Hao and Teng Huatao, who were excited. He said with a smile, ”if you go to Hollywood to study in the future, you must sink down to learn the most advanced production experience of Hollywood, which will greatly promote the development of our country's film and television industry.”
Both of them nodded in succession, excited without any attachment.
At this time, Spielberg said: ”Mr. Li, in these days in China, I deliberately looked for some Chinese movie DVDs to watch, and found that there was a very serious problem, that is, the quality of the actors was uneven. I watched every movie, and most of the actors gave me a feeling that I didn't understand the performance at all, as if most people appeared in front of the camera It's very fake. It's either not strong enough or too strong. Not only the mass actors, but also many leading actors have such problems. If this problem can't be solved in the future, the quality of our cooperative films will be greatly affected in the future. ”
