Light and Shadow Entertainment

Chapter 582 Signing
"Why, producer?" David Leitch was a little confused.

Wang Zheng's speed was so fast that Xia Tong immediately asked someone to help.

Lawyers are available both domestically and abroad, which is very convenient.

It's not surprising that Huayi knew Wang Zheng's plan. Normally, the copyright has nothing to do with the investor, but with the production company.

The copyright belongs to the producer. He finds investment, actors, and production. He is a small company.

David Leitch is actually the temporary master of the work, and he proposed this project, but it is still in its infancy.

David Leitch has always wanted to be a director, but he never had the chance, and no studio gave him a chance.

His original plan was to come to the mainland to attract investment and then distribute it with Summit Entertainment.

Summit Entertainment is a distribution company under Lionsgate Films, and it is quite capable.

It doesn't matter even if it is later incorporated by Lions Gate, as long as it is a director.

But I didn't expect the investment solution to be so easy. I was very happy at first, but later found out that people were eyeing this project.

There is also bad news, the screenwriter also called, and they wanted to buy the copyright of the script from him.

Although the copyright is not in the hands of the screenwriter, he has already sold it to himself, but the news is really bad enough.

He found out that this was a conspiracy, and David Leitch was also very passive.

To be honest, he didn't think that the movie would be so popular, but he was worried about his own power.

As for the series, none of them thought about it. The original John Wick was only started after the success of the movie.

Things like the Continental Hotel only started to appear in the second part.

What David Leitch wants is actually the right to edit movies, which is a power that basic domestic directors have, but Hollywood does not.

Wang Zheng didn't care about editing rights, it turned out that David Leitch was one of the producers, and the editing was not bad.

Compared with this, the starring role is considered a trivial matter.

Although it is far from the protagonist Keanu Reeves he originally planned to invite, it is not impossible to operate.

In fact, I am very sorry for others. Domestic capital still drags others to get online.

Another director, Chad Stalski, is his partner and is a good friend with Keanu Reeves. At the time of The Matrix, Chad Stalski was Keanu Reeves' stand-in.

Keanu Reeves also had contact with China when he filmed Man of Tai Chi in China.

Huayi was greedy and thought of cooperating, but there was no contact.

Keanu Reeves is not as popular as The Matrix now, and he can shoot anything now, which is similar to Nicolas Cage who cooperated with Tianxian.

After knowing what Chad was thinking, he led him a thread.

As for Fanya, it is the middleman he cooperates with mainland companies.

David Leitch was very surprised. He didn't care whether the movie could sell well at the box office. He was worried that if he didn't have the editing rights, the director might let someone else fuck him.

There is still a big gap between a director and an assistant director. As long as he is a director, he will stand still. Chad also has the same idea. Both of them were assistant directors.

They have thought about not looking for domestic capital, but no one recognizes them. If they can attract investment locally, who is willing to come to the mainland to attract investment.

They are still a little happy, the investment is at least the project is recognized, and there is great hope for directors.

This is capital, Wang Zheng seldom uses it to crush others, after all his own film and television dramas are all produced by himself.

Like this time, it is crushing, and it is regarded as stealing other people's projects.

No way, he found out, this is really an opportunity, isn't the biggest impression of Chinese people is kung fu.

If he wants to break out of Asia in the film and television industry, he also has to rely on this, love, love, different national conditions, different skin colors, they can't understand and don't want to understand.

……

"Editing rights, yes, but they can't do it randomly, only part of it can be given to them."

Wang Zheng still received good news. The negotiation progressed very quickly. He was anxious, and the other party was also anxious.

The end of the capital is not to procrastinate on this project, but to go directly to their base camp in the ugly country.

Negotiations with Huayi are also going on at the same time. They will definitely invest, but there are still doubts about the share.

Huayi's final investment was US$400,000, accounting for one-tenth of the investment.

Wang Zheng also wondered why they didn't justify their investment, and later found out that they were slamming Brad Pitt's fury and keeping the money.

Probably this is also the reason why Huayi was kicked out by Lions Gate later, the investment amount was too small.

Brad Pitt, a world superstar, must have a higher global reputation than Wang Zheng.

Huayi will brag, just brag, and will invest 1.2 to 1.5 million US dollars in a production company in Ugly Country to participate in Hollywood.

Needless to say, the stock price has risen again, but Wang Zheng knows the virtues of the two brothers, and within two days, they were cashed out and mortgaged.

But these have nothing to do with Wang Zheng, he has to pay attention to the rapid pursuit.

He was also afraid that this group of people would cheat him, so he went to a professional directly, and everything was tied tightly.

David Reich also lay flat, forget it, just think of it as a promotion.

He also found out that the actor is indeed very popular, and he is a very well-known singer.

That's right, in his eyes, Wang Zheng is very famous, which is different from what Wang Zheng thought.

In Europe and the United States, it is normal for singers to be more famous than actors, and the income list is dominated by singers.

Wang Zheng knows that a very talented singer-songwriter has a lot of fans in Europe and America.

After knowing that the actor was him, I did a special investigation. In this country, he is the top actor in commercial films.

The movie that just came off the assembly line had a box office of more than [-] million US dollars, and the last movie was nearly [-] million US dollars.

These two movies abused the Avengers and Iron Man of the same period.

There is also news from Goryeo. He is a well-deserved top actor, and Goryeo's box office record is his starring role.

Having said that, David Leitch felt as if he had caught a treasure.

That's right, Jack Cheng is also an action actor. Isn't it natural for people from this country to act in action movies?

With him around, the box office can easily pay back, and the director himself has a name.

Besides, the action actors in their country seem to sell very well in videotapes. Of course, now it’s Netflix, and the sales are very good.

Later, he learned that the investor here would give him part of the editing rights, and he fell into a trap.

When he learned that the crew would still go according to his original arrangement, he immediately wanted to sign the contract.

Wang Zheng didn't serve as the producer of the film, it was too eye-catching, Xia Tong did it himself.

What David Leitch is worried about now is how well the actor's movements are filmed.

The contract was signed perfectly, because of this contract, Xia Tong set up a company in Europe and the United States, and didn't want to have any more messy troubles.
