Chapter 632 Three Directors
Xia Yu's throat twitched, obviously his heart was moved, but he was not overly excited, "I have to go back and ask Sister Wang about this!"

"Naturally!" Yang Dongsheng nodded with a smile and winked at Yang Huai at the same time.

Yang Huai took out a large stack of documents as thick as a dictionary, "Miss Zeng, sign this!"

"What is this? It's still in English...is it a script?"

"This is 2000 million shares of Disney stock. As long as Ms. Zeng signs, these shares will be yours!" Yang Huai said.

"Ah!" The three people on the opposite side exclaimed at the same time.

Although they don't know how much the 2000 million Disney shares are worth, even if they cost one yuan per share, that's 2000 million, and it's still a stock of Disney, one of the Hollywood giants!
In fact, if any of the three of them can read this contract carefully, they will find that there is actually a big problem with this contract. For those who signed the contract, these stocks can only be regarded as nominee holdings at best and cannot be sold. And it can only be passed on to the child in the womb in the future.

But Yang Dongsheng bet that they would not read it so carefully. First, the contract was thick; second, the contract was in English; third, the three people in front of him were all art students.

It turns out that Yang Dongsheng was right!

After dinner, Yang Dongsheng called the editor-in-chief of the company's newspaper, told him what he wanted, and asked the newspaper to publish a few articles about semiconductors in the name of an editorial, and let the company blow the wind first!
When the atmosphere was almost brewing, after returning to the headquarters, Yang Dongsheng called a meeting with the vice presidents to unify the thinking of the company.

Dongsheng Films established a joint venture film company with Zhang Yimou, Xu Ke, and Feng Xiaogang, and held a special press conference for this purpose.

Inviting Xia Yu was a temporary idea, but the establishment of a joint venture film company was planned long ago.

Although Lao Mouzi is already an internationally renowned director, he is surprisingly down-to-earth. He still holds the red wine with five fingers.

In fact, Yang Dongsheng also thinks that the gesture of just pinching the glass handle is too girly, but he often has to meet with leaders from all over the country, which makes people think he is an idiot. I am afraid that he will not be able to get the coal mines he could get. Yang Dongsheng must pretend to be aggressive!
"Director Zhang, according to the investment in that movie, the cost will definitely not be recovered domestically. It has to rely on overseas, especially the North American box office, so the script has to be revised by a Hollywood screenwriter. Please forgive me!" Yang Dongsheng said.

"I already know this, but I hope that the speed of revision can be faster. Li Yangzhong's schedule is running out. His agent said that there is still a movie waiting for him in Hollywood. This movie depends on him to attract audiences in the United States." !"

Lao Mouzi had no objection to replacing Liang Dianyan. Most of the male and female protagonists in his films were mainland actors, but Li Yangzhong was specially invited by him, because of Li Yangzhong's box office appeal in the United States.

"Director Zhang, you think highly of Li Yangzhong! The movies Li Yangzhong made in Hong Kong can only be found in videotapes in the United States!" Yang Dongsheng suddenly thought that Xu Ke was next to him, "I'm sorry, Director Xu!"

"It's true!" Xu Ke smiled wryly.

Yang Dongsheng continued, "The few films starring Li Yangzhong in the United States are all low-budget action films, featuring violence and gore, rated at least PG-13, and some are even rated R! The theaters that show such films are usually located in low-cost Black communities with housing prices, poor facilities, and cheap movie tickets. The people who like to watch this kind of movie are mainly black people. There are also some middle- and lower-class white people who rent videotapes and go back to watch them. They are dissatisfied with society and want to watch this kind of movie to vent. Inner emotions! In fact, as long as the play is exciting enough, they don't care who the lead actor is at all!"

"In fact, Director Zhang himself has many fans in the United States, and "Raise the Red Lantern" has a very high evaluation. If he was willing to do some public relations back then, he might win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film! It was a pity that "Alive" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards!" Xu Ke shook his head repeatedly.

"I heard that public relations cost money, and spending money to buy awards, isn't that bad?" Lao Mouzi said.

Lao Mouzi is a shameless person. As long as his movies are good, others will naturally vote for him. What is it that you buy with money?
"Director Zhang, the United States is a money society. You can only show that you want to win this award if you are willing to spend money. If you don't even do public relations, they will not award you the award at all! And many of the judges have no serious career. They are We need to rely on this for food!" Yang Dongsheng said.

"Is that so?"

Lao Mouzi looked at Xu Ke, Xu Ke nodded at him, and Lao Mouzi's expression suddenly turned a little ugly.

"I think it's mainly because some people are reluctant to spend money! Which company produced and distributed these two films back then?" Yang Huai asked.

"It seems to be from Taiwan, right?" Xu Ke said.

"Don't mention it, it's all in the past!"

Although he said so, Lao Mouzi picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

In his previous life, Lao Mouzi had tried many times to hit the Oscars, and he was obsessed with the Oscars!
"I think "Heroes" is also good. To kill King Qin or not to kill King Qin is to end the war in the world! Anti-war is very in line with the taste of mainstream American filmmakers!" Yang Dongsheng said.

"They burned, killed and looted all over the world, and they still oppose the war?" Feng Xiaogang said.

"Landlords who search for people's fat and riches like to build bridges and roads, robbers who rob houses like to fight for incense sticks in temples, and some people who don't know what they have done to their hearts like to release them. The more bad things a person does, the more he likes to seek psychology. Consolation!"

"Okay, Mr. Yang is really talking about Americans!" Feng Xiaogang immediately gave Yang Dongsheng a thumbs up.

In the Beijing circle back then, he relied on bottomless flattering of someone Wang to get to the top position, no shame!
"I've also heard about Director Xu's new idea. It's best to shoot this kind of subject abroad!" Yang Dongsheng said to Xu Ke.

Xu Ke listened to Yang Dongsheng's suggestion and planned to make an action movie with punches to the flesh. For this reason, he wrote a crime-themed script, and he had written more than half of it, but he never thought about the ending!

"Then go to America!" Xu Ke said.

"Yes! If you need help, you can contact our branch in the United States!" Yang Dongsheng nodded, "Since it's a real action movie, don't worry about the rating! Li Yangzhong's several movies made in Hollywood have the highest box office. The one with the R rating is the one that is rated R! Find a few who have a solid foundation in martial arts and have worked hard to build up their muscles first. If they don’t even have chest and abdominal muscles, Americans won’t like to watch this kind of action movie.”

"I've noticed this too!" Xu Ke nodded.

"Also, I want to give Director Xu a suggestion!" Yang Dongsheng's tone suddenly changed.
