Chapter 492 Visiting Warner (please vote for me)

The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in those early days caused great pain to Americans. There are crazy schedules in the United States. Japanese Americans were the only group of people subject to forced control by the U.S. government.

These people were sent to shelters. Although they were not abused, their personal freedom was restricted. But the second generation of Japanese Americans are not convinced. They think that they are Americans and not from ordinary times.

So many young people chose to join the army to express their loyalty to the government.

But the U.S. government still doesn't trust them. Therefore, these Japanese people never went to the Pacific battlefield to participate in the war, and there were no restrictions on them in the European battlefield.

This unit is the Japanese-American 442nd Infantry Regiment.

Because they are Japanese-Americans, they are bound to be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder by the Americans, so the 442nd Infantry Regiment basically acts as a vanguard.

Always be on the front line of the battlefield.

During their two years in Europe, a total of more than 14000 people served in this army, but they received a total of more than 1800 honors. It can be said that almost everyone has a medal. Looking at the world, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find another such army.

Kevin Tsuji is a third-generation Japanese, but he still retains the habits of his childhood. Worship the strong and learn from the strong. In the entire film industry, is there anyone better than Zhang Yang?

He is top-notch in literature, art and business, so forget it, he is still super rich. His assets, although not comparable to those of Warner Bros. But he can also rank among the top 50 richest people in the world.

Of course, it’s the kind that didn’t make the list.

Although Teng Xun and Xiao Ma are both on the list. But if you put Zhang Yang on the list, he will make life difficult for your Chinese companies. So if he is missing, he is missing. I don’t know what the quirk is.

Warner bought the U.S. rights to two of Zhang Yang's films and made a small profit. Why? Isn't it just to have cooperation one day? As for the public opinion dilemma Zhang Yang is currently in, it is not a problem at all.

Zhang Yang's base is in China. As long as there are no problems with his domestic public opinion, who cares abroad?

Kevin Tsujihara thought for a moment and said, "Go and invite Nolan and Alfonso over. We will greet him at the company tomorrow."

The assistant saw that Zhang Yang was being taken seriously and asked two big directors to accompany him.

Huaguo, No. 23,

News about the Toronto Film Festival also spread, and everyone was very happy to see so many Chinese films being screened. But everyone in the industry knows that things are not that simple, because the news about Zhang Yang first came from Canada.

Everything Zhang Yang can think of, they can also think of. But Zhang Yang didn't speak out, which made everyone confused.

That's right, except for people in Liu Yifei's circle of friends, everyone sees that Zhang Yang's plane is still in China.

I subconsciously thought that he was also hiding at home in China!

Moreover, the domestic film industry is not at peace either. Zhang Yang remains silent, and several partners are also worried. They always feel that Zhang Yang is investigating them.

This incident may have nothing to do with them, but don't look into it to find out other things. This can also make people feel uncomfortable. Among them, the Chinese immigrants are the most uncomfortable because they are the craziest.

Europe, Venice on the morning of the 23rd

Today, the 71st Venice Film Festival announced the shortlist. The news related to China is:

Chinese Professor Cao's movie "Heart of the Burning Sun",

And the new film "The Intruder" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai was shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award.

What's even more amazing is that "The Heart of the Sun" directed by Professor Cao was also used as the opening ceremony film.

The new film "Birdman" by the famous Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu serves as the closing film.

And Zhang Yang's new movie "Extreme Career", Chen Kexin's movie "Dear",

and Xu Anhua's film "The Golden Age" will appear in the screening section.

And after the shortlist was announced, the beauty spokesperson of the Venice Film Festival Executive Committee announced,

China Film Week and Zhang Yang Film Exhibition will be held during this year’s film festival.

As soon as the news was announced, the entire media attending the press conference was excited.

Not long after Zhang Yang's conspiracy was reported in North America, the Venice Film Festival here welcomed Chinese films with such fanfare.

It’s the opening ceremony film again, it’s Chinese Film Week again, and there’s the Zhang Yang Film Exhibition.

You guys might as well go directly to China to settle the matter.

The BBC directly asked the question: Is the Venice Film Festival fully embracing China?

The beautiful spokesperson said loudly:

“Our Venice Film Festival, as the world’s first film festival, embraces all films from around the world, including Chinese films.

As for launching a Chinese film week, it has been an idea for a long time. After all, China is already the second largest film market in the world. For the Zhang Yang Film Festival, we have already communicated with Director Zhang Yang.

He himself did not agree because he had no entries this year, but on the 21st, he took the initiative to contact us and said that he was willing to hold a Zhang Yang Film Exhibition. We are extremely happy that director Zhang Yang agreed. Finally, I hope that this film festival can give everyone a satisfactory answer. "

As soon as the spokesman finished speaking, the media at the scene were all buzzing.

Is Zhang Yang facing off against Toronto?

I didn’t even attend at first, but I suddenly joined on the 21st.

You must know that Europe is eight hours faster than the United States.

Basically, Zhang Yang just agreed after waiting for a while.

Toronto Film Festival, are you shooting yourself in the foot?

The media doesn’t need to think too much because today’s news is there. Their newspapers can definitely boost sales.

America, morning of the 23rd

It will be evening in Venice. These Americans saw reports of the Venice Film Festival as soon as they turned on the news. The content is even more exciting than the TV series!

After watching it, everyone was secretly laughing at Toronto. What do you think you are doing? Originally, Zhang Yang only wanted to sell movies, but now he wants to hold his own film festival. How many of his fans must go and watch it! That’s right, Americans are not stupid. Not long after the news came from Canada, they found out why and why the news appeared.

Not only was it published in newspapers, but it was also analyzed on television programs. Americans' ability to ride on the heat is new.

Hollywood, Warner Bros.

Early this morning, company employees discovered something strange.

At about 9:50, the company chairman and two great directors, Nolan and Alfonso, arrived at the door of the company.

This is obviously a posture to welcome people. What kind of person is worthy of such a big battle? Among these three people, Nolan is the one who likes science fiction and imagination.

The 08 movie "The Dark Knight" followed Zhang Yang's "Beauty and the Beast" and became the fifth movie in the world to reach a box office of US$10 billion.

In 10, "Inception" was the pinnacle of his combination of science fiction and imagination so far. By the way, his next movie "Interstellar" is coming soon.

And Alfonso Cuaron shined at this year's Oscars. With "Gravity", he became another master of showmanship after Li An.

Others looked at them strangely, but they were actually chatting. Nolan said to the two of them curiously: "I heard that Zhang Yang has always believed that the essence of movies is to tell stories. Although he has the pursuit of new technologies, he is not keen on it. , what a weirdo, and Cameron has told people more than once that Zhang Yang is the only person who was not shocked when he saw his new equipment for the first time."

Alfonso Cuaron shrugged and said: "Maybe it didn't shock him. I think in the near future, there will be technologies that shock him. By then, he will also be immersed in new technologies."

Nolan then said with a playful face: "How do you think the follow-up to Zhang Yang and the Toronto Film Festival will develop this time?"

Alfonso said casually: "Whatever, if he treats Oscar like this, it won't be too late for us to worry about it. Toronto? Let those people farm and herd in peace!"

Kevin Tsujihara is not interested in any of this;

He just wanted to let Zhang Yang cooperate more with their company today. It would be best to sign more film contracts.

After a while, the two cars parked directly at the door of the company building.

After Assistant Zhang Yang opened the car door,

Zhang Yang walked out of the car wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans.

Then she reached out her hand to the car. Liu Yifei grabbed Zhang Yang’s hand and got out of the car.

Today she is wearing a red T-shirt and jeans. The two also focus on a red and blue CP.

Three people waiting. Looking at myself wrapped up in professional attire in the summer,

It's good for these two people. This is really a communication. They are dressed casually and informally.

Zhang Yang was a little surprised when he saw the three people waiting.

Being too polite and polite makes people feel embarrassed to say many things. Walking up to Kevin Tsujihara first, Zhang Yang stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Hello, Chairman Kevin, it's not easy to meet a senior executive with an Eastern face in Hollywood."

Seeing Zhang Yang being so polite, Kevin stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Yang and said, "No, it's really not easy to meet you, Director Zhang Yang.

We at Warner Bros. want to work with you for more than a day or two. "

Zhang Yang laughed, turned to the side, shook hands with Nolan and said, "Hey, you are really a genius. The imagination of the movie "Inception" is amazing."

Nolan responded with a smile: "I have confidence in comparing science fiction with you, but I really don't have confidence in storytelling."

Zhang Yang didn't talk much, and shook hands with Alfonso Cuaron and said: "Actually, we can meet very early. Jiang Wen told me that you also went to visit the cast of "One Step Away". This is the time we met. Pass by."

Alfonso feels a little strange about Zhang Yang's entry point. People who are currently dealing with him basically praise "Gravity" first when they meet.

Zhang Yang actually said something about visiting the class, but no matter what, he had already heard enough of the same flattering words.

Kevin then stretched out his hand towards the door, pointed at the door and said with a smile: "Let's go in quickly. We can talk slowly in the office with the air conditioner blowing."

He couldn't stand being outside the company on this hot day.

Zhang Yang also stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Please go first."

After the group entered Warner Bros., the first thing that caught Zhang Yang's eyes was:

There are a wide variety of movie posters, headed by the "Batman" series.

Later, the "Superman" series, "The Matrix" series, and "Harry Potter" series,

"The Lord of the Rings" series, "The Hobbit" series,

There are also "Gravity", "Inception" and so on. These are all projects they have successfully developed.

Walking further inside, there are copyrights on both sides of the corridor, including Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Arrow and other superheroes and the Justice League...

Zhang Yang couldn't help but look at it,

At the same time, I thought who knew that most of the development of these IPs ended in failure. Warner's next most successful film was the adaptation of Aquaman in collaboration with James Wan. And this Kevin was dismissed from get out of class in 19 due to a sex scandal.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang felt that Kevin was just like this, and he just had to get what he wanted this time.

Kevin smiled secretly when he saw Zhang Yang observing these copyrights. This is Warner's background. It was also the magic weapon that attracted Zhang Yang.

When we arrived at the conference room,

Zhang Yang went in with Liu Yifei and his assistant. The bodyguards should stay outside for now!

On Kevin's side, several company managers also came in, but Nolan and Alfonso went to other places. Formal deliberations began.
