Chapter 52 Film and Television Investment
What words can be used to describe "Game of the Brave"?
Dwayne - 'The Rock' - Johnson and Kevin Hart's career masterpiece?

The fifth place in the global box office list in 2017?

The total revenue exceeds that of his brother "Spider-Man: Homecoming" by nearly [-] million US dollars?
Sony Pictures' biggest surprise of the decade?

Before the release of the first "Decisive Jungle" in the "Game of the Brave" reset series, no media could predict that its final box office would reach 9.62 million US dollars.

The original series is not the most dazzling golden signboard in Hollywood, and it is not considered the first echelon within Sony Pictures.The combination of Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson does have a great chemical reaction, but the production cost of the last "Oolong Agent" was 5000 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office finally stopped at 2.2 million U.S. dollars.

Not bad for a mid-budget movie.

But does this prove that Hart and Johnson have the appeal to star in a big production?
……able!

Others must not be able to see through it, because in April 2016, even Hart and Johnson, the first rivalry, was officially released for two months.

But Han Yi, who will come back in 2023, is naturally very clear.

The production cost of $9000 million, the total expenditure of $2.52 million, in exchange for a global gross of $9.62 million.

Not to mention the share that can be earned by itself, but the "return on investment value" that they use as the criterion for reward judgment.How many times should he be rewarded for this level of reward?

Just thinking of this made Han Yi tremble with excitement.

Not to mention, if Han Yi invests in this film, not only can Han Yi take this opportunity to take a stake in Kevin Hart's personal production company, deeply participate in the career of this UTA ​​loyal customer, but also be able to work with the lead actor Dwayne Johnson. block production company hooked up the relationship.

For every work of The Rock Johnson after 2017, seven producers participated in the production.Until 2023, the total global box office of the film projects participated by the seven producers has reached 46 billion US dollars.

The development process of UTA is still unknown. The various music companies he founded are still in the preparatory stage, and it will take some time for Billy and Phineas, who signed a contract to cooperate, to emerge.

From his rebirth to the present, "Game of the Brave", a surprise that was not originally in Han Yi's plan, has become his most determined investment project.

As long as it can be kept as it is, there is no need to add a drop of oil or a spoonful of vinegar, and you can make a lot of money.

Jumanji - Kevin Hart - Dwayne Johnson.

The film and television sector, which Han Yi is not very good at, suddenly has the chess piece that breaks the game.The role he should play in the film industry is also becoming more and more clear at this moment.

Since you don't know much about the film and television industry, follow in the footsteps of those future winners.Wherever they go, they vote there.

In just a few minutes, Han Yi figured out how to play.Co-run a personal production company with Kevin Hart, using the fame and influence of a famous comedian, with his own bottomless financial strength, to get the opportunity to sit on the film and television investment negotiation table, and then through "Game of the Brave" ", looking for an opportunity to take a stake in Dwayne Johnson's seven-dollar producer, and participate in the $46 billion carnival feast.

After all, even leaving aside the huge success of "Game of the Brave" itself, Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson, the two golden partners who have played against each other for several times, have been developing in the next seven years since 2016. It can be called a textbook-level history of the transformation of American celebrities.

Kevin Hart has transformed from a comedic stand-up actor to a top-line comedy movie star, while Dwayne Johnson has transformed from a WWE wrestler to a new generation of Hollywood action superstar.

More importantly, if there is an escort from insiders, plus Jordan Bromley's Manat Entertainment checks the details of the contract...

How to lose?
Must vote!
"Kevin, you have your own production company, right?"

"Two." Kevin Hart licked his lower lip, "Laugh Out Loud and Hartbeat, the former is mainly for live comedy content, and the latter involves movies, TV and variety shows."

Kevin Hart established these two companies as early as 2009, but so far, neither Laugh Out Loud nor Hartbeat have participated in real big-budget movies, and even lacked masterpieces.

The first and second parts of the popular action comedy "Zozhou Self-Help Brothers" in the past two years are both starring another actor, Cube Vision, a personal production company owned by UTA client Ice Cube, and Relativity Co-produced by Media and Universal Pictures.

And with Dwayne Johnson's partner, "Oolong Agent", which will be released in June, is a cake that has been divided up by industry giants such as New Line Pictures, Universal Pictures and Perfect World Pictures. Even the director of Netflix Film Company Chief Scott Stuber used his own company to get involved.

In short, Kevin Hart may be the witty face of a new generation of audiences, but in Hollywood, he's not yet at the poker table level.The key point is not the resume, but the capital he can attract.

Without capital, there is no bargaining chip.

Han Yi is the capital who can hand him chips.

If an outsider makes an investment invitation, Kevin Hart may have to put on a celebrity posture and get the tone right.But Han Yi, but just spent 1.9 million US dollars to become UTA's largest institutional investor.His first step into the entertainment industry has been inextricably linked to Kevin Hart's career.

If this important character, who even has to be careful with the performing arts agency he signed with, is willing to participate in his personal production company, then, regardless of the industry environment, just talk about the internal of the United Artists Agency, Kevin Hart Is it possible to get more resource tilt?
As long as Han Yi is willing to speak on the board of directors, there is a high possibility that his name will appear in the Bundle Deal that UTA is closely preparing with major film companies.

"It's too noisy today." Han Yi turned his head and looked at the door. Corey McIntosh, Andrew Toh and others were already receiving the guests who arrived one after another, "Maybe we should make an appointment for a private conversation, Jordan Bro Do you know Muli?"

"Of course, Manate Entertainment is Hartbeat's legal counsel, and UTA's." Kevin Hart nodded and replied.The world of Hollywood is small, especially the top class, and Manat Entertainment is the first choice for almost all clients of United Artists Agency.

"Yes." Jeremy Zimmer smiled and responded softly.Compared with the talkativeness of 10 minutes ago, he is now unusually silent.Of course, it's not because Jeremy has any opinion on Han Yi's diversified investment.On the contrary, he was keenly aware of another layer of Han Yi's role, and he was having a complex and violent brainstorming.

UTA packages a large number of film and television projects every year and sells them to various production companies.If Han Yi has a strong investment interest in this area, maybe the United Artists Brokerage Company can be more than just a brokerage company.

Why can't there be UTA Films?
If you can independently establish a film and television company based on UTA's artist resources and project packaging capabilities, you may be able to escape the shackles of the three-headed alliance with your own structure.

The best way to defeat the enemy is to completely suppress it with means that are one dimension higher.

Thinking of this, Jeremy Zimmer subconsciously glanced at Jim Berkus, and found that the other party was looking at him with almost the same eyes.

Both men seized this opportunity to completely crush the other.

"It just so happens that Jordan himself is now my legal counsel."

Han Yi saw the thoughts of the two UTA speakers, but he didn't say anything, and continued talking with Kevin Hart with a smile.

"Kevin, you can choose a suitable time. You can bring your Manat consultant, and I can bring mine. Let's talk about it."

"No problem, it just so happens that I don't have any shooting plans recently, and I've been in LA all the time." Kevin Hart clenched his right fist and stretched it out in front of Han Yi, "I knew it was the right thing to call you the boss, and I hope we can achieve it." Cooperate, boss."

"Me too, Kevin."

Han Yi clenched his fist and touched Kevin Hart.

"Welcome to the jungle."

A pun is not only the name of the first part of "James of the Brave", but also a further reminder to Kevin Hart.

Follow me, let's venture into Hollywood's capital jungle together.

The investment agreement still needs to go through a lengthy negotiation process to be finalized, but judging from Kevin Hart's subsequent performance, he has already regarded Han Yi as an inevitable business boost.Kevin Hart accompanied Han Yi every step of the way, standing in front of the entrance door as the host of the party, and enthusiastically introduced every acquainted star who attended the party to the latter.

Also by Han Yi's side, besides Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen, there were even Jim Berkus and Jeremy Zimmer. When receiving the guests they invited, the two of them did not forget to bring them to Han Yi. In the name of 'partner', the young Chinese rich man was launched.

Everyone regards Han Yi as a booster for his career. After all, this benefactor who has thrown hundreds of millions of dollars as soon as he made a move, and now it seems that he still has a lot of spare time, has a kind temper and a humble temperament. He seems to be able to talk to anyone The last two sentences.Apart from wanting to become famous in Hollywood, I don't see any other ambitions for the time being.

And this is exactly the disguise that Han Yi wants to show to the world.

A truly meticulous plan should never be on the lips all the time, wrap the target with a seemingly benign thin line, and slowly tighten it unconsciously. It is best not to guess who the hunter is until the prey is caught. This is in line with Han Yi's character and intention.

"Walter, Shirley! It's great to see you all again!"

"Bili, Phineas, this way!"

"Jordan, welcome as a guest... Oh, of course, you will come here often in the future."

"Mr. Cumberbatch, ah, yes, haha, Benedict, I'm your big fan."

"Ms. Julie, I have known you for a long time, and it is a great honor to invite you to attend."

Throwing a dress party in America, especially in the Platinum Triangle, is a grueling chore.As an American cultural practice, Han Yi must show the standard eight teeth to every arriving guest, and then use some exaggerated rhetorical techniques to express a warm and warm welcome.

On the other hand, considering the upper-class social culture, he has to grasp the nuances of talking with different people, while consolidating his own image and social status, so that everyone gets proper care, neither too much nor too little .

Passionate and reserved.Wanting to grasp such a social scale is not at all easier than designing colorful black.

In less than an hour, Han Yi transformed into a social robot with an American smile on his face, and his greetings and handshakes became subconscious mechanical movements.The increasingly fierce complaints in his heart became an effective means for him to resolve this boring and flashy.

Benedict Cumberbatch's horse face is older than human history.

Someone described Owen Wilson's mouth as...well, it's pretty similar.

Gwyneth Paltrow, is she British or American?

Angelina Jolie is old enough that no amount of Botox can support her cheekbones.

In Hollywood, especially in the past 20 years, most of the people who can become first-line superstars are no longer Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, and Grace Kelly in the era of big studios. A flawless beauty.Impressive appearance characteristics are the first condition to help movie stars and musicians quickly gain public popularity.

Whether it is Don Cheadle's strange head, Benedict Cumberbatch's long face or Angelina Jolie's plump lips, from the perspective of public aesthetics, they are all slightly exaggerated. .In film and television works, it’s okay to have a triple mask of lens, makeup and filters. Back in reality, the extreme facial features and the abnormally thin body shape for photogenic make this impact more obvious.

Welcoming dozens of celebrities, Han Yi became more and more determined about his inner thoughts.

Angelina Jolie in 1993 may be worthy of her own money to win a beautiful woman's smile.

But what about 2016?
Hollywood is a cruel meat grinder in which ability, qualifications, connections and luck are indispensable. Even if you are very talented, you have to endure enough years to truly stand in the center of the stage.Angelina Jolie is already a successful model in this industry, but it wasn't until she starred in "Tomb Raider" in 2001 that she truly gained transcendent commercial appeal on a global scale.At that time, eight years had passed since her official debut.

One film after another, one announcement after another, maybe one pill after another, no matter how magnificent and timeless the beauty is, it will fade away in the time scale of extreme exhaustion and deep stimulation.

In fact, in terms of beauty alone, the 20-year-old Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen can easily surpass most of the well-dressed female celebrities present.Gwyneth Paltrow's proud tall figure was eclipsed by the moonlight in front of Zhao Youzhen.Elizabeth Banks' iconic sweet smile, even in its heyday, was not as good as Xu Yiru's, let alone now.

Of course, among them, there are still a small number of youthful and graceful, who can compete with Xiaoru and Youzhen.

For example...

"Yi, please allow me to introduce this future star to you."

"Madison Bill."

　Ask for the first order, ask for a monthly ticket, and ask for everyone's kisses!Ah ah ah
