Entertainment: Banned for Five Years, Became the Godfather of Hollywood

Chapter 17 "La La Land" is decided to be you!

Slightly different from the previous life timeline, Hollywood movies began to develop after World War II and peaked in the 1960s.

At that time, 90% of the world's films were produced in Hollywood, exporting culture to the world.

The 1960s and 1980s were also known as the "Golden Age of Hollywood".

In the heyday of North American entertainment, the most representative ones were musicals and jazz.

So much so that it has set off a wave of music and dance films all over the world.

"Song of the Rain" is a classic among the classics, and a frequent visitor to the top 10 in film history.

Whenever a filmmaker mentions the "Golden Age", the lines are full of yearning and pride.

For them, it's the perfect combination of artistry and entertainment!

Directors and filmmakers born in the golden age have always been immersed in the glory of the past, and naturally look down on the new generation of directors, special effects films, horror films and other films that pursue sensory stimulation.

The word they most often talk about is: there is no artistic element at all.

Once Chu Xuan's tweet was released, its influence was not limited to Hollywood, and the entire North American film and entertainment industry was completely shaken!

If he was just a nobody before, or a young director with little fame.

Now the North American entertainment industry knows him.

Chu Xuan attacked the film critic Roger Ebert and inadvertently caused a wave of large-scale aoe damage!

It's as if there is a director from the country, or a director from India and Sanskrit came to the Chinese film circle,

Threatened to make a traditional kung fu movie to "pay tribute" to the golden age of Hong Kong Island.

In an instant, Chu Xuan's twitter was madly @ and crazily commented by various film critics, directors, and media.

Of course, none of these people were very friendly.

Even the president of Legendary Pictures couldn't sit still and called Chu Xuan overnight.

"Mr. Drake, you haven't slept so late."

"Chu, how can you sleep? Do you really want to make a musical?"

"Otherwise, the words have already been spoken."

"But……"

Joe Drake is not easy to speak out for a while.

He could never tell Chu Xuan that musical films are the pride of Hollywood and the calling card of North American films.

Do you know how to make a musical?

Now there are countless eyes staring at your flaws!

If there is something wrong with the shot, just wait for the overwhelming spit!

Perhaps hearing the other party's hesitation, Chu Xuan curiously said:

"Musical film, is there a problem?"

Joe Drake sighed: "No problem, just... you try to polish it well, don't worry."

The new film has not yet talked about cooperation, and Legendary Pictures has no loss if the film is bad.

It's just a pity that Chu Xuan is about to become a public enemy.

Chu Xuan also heard the other party's distrust, and his tone became much more polite.

"Mr. Drake, the new movie doesn't seem to be able to work together?"

"Uh... There is no precedent for musical films in our film industry before. You can try it in other places. If there are horror films, sci-fi films, or novels in the future, the door of Legendary Films will always be opened for you."

"Well, let's talk about it."

Chu Xuan hung up the phone lightly.

He also captured a hint of the arrogance of North American filmmakers in Joe Drake's tone.

It seems that in this world, the status of musicals is much higher than in previous lives.

As if some kind of sacred and inviolable area.

But white North American directors have also released musicals in recent years?

Mamma Mia, Beauty and the Beast, King of the Circus

These are all musicals released in the past two years.

Why can they take pictures and not take pictures themselves?

Discriminate against Chinese directors?

Chu Xuan suddenly realized, and the corner of his mouth raised a cruel smile.

He has to get serious and use the way the opponent is best at defeating the opponent!

Completely block the mouths of these arrogant white people!

That being the case, the decision is yours!

"LaLaLand"!

The Chinese name is "City of Philharmonic"!

In Chu Xuan's view, "La La Land" is an excellent movie, not a perfect movie.

There is no perfect movie in the world.

However, "Song of the Rain", the pinnacle of parallel world musicals, is the low-profile version of "Singing in the Rain".

That "La La Land" is enough to form a dimensionality reduction blow!

Let them gain insight!

...

In the 6th week of its release, "Ghost Records" was a steady box office champion except for the lack of performances in the first week!

At this time, the box office revenue also came to 190 million US dollars, which was the same as the previous life!

The US theater chain and overseas channels have applied for extension one after another, so the film is just around the corner to break the 200 million US dollar box office!

Other studios have gone numb.

What investment can earn 15,000 times in more than a month? Much quicker than robbing a bank.

Chu Xuan was also named "the youngest billionaire" by the Los Santos Times.

Now countless media are lining up to interview Chu Xuan, including heavyweights such as Vanity Fair and Time Magazine.

But he didn't have an agent, and he didn't disclose his personal contact information.

The media couldn't find him.

Even the phone calls went to Legendary Pictures, all of which were shunned by Chu Xuan on the grounds of making a new movie.

Not only did these media not give up, but they became more curious about Chu Xuan's new movie.

How on earth is he going to shoot musicals?

Haven't experienced that era and don't know the people of the Dragon Kingdom in North America, can you really understand?

Many media outlets are already thinking about surreptitiously following reports.

Chu Xuan's side, he is really busy not giving interviews.

Having recently earned $110 million, Chu Xuan backhandedly registered his own film company in Hollywood.

Anyway, it's not bad now!

He will have to shoot a lot of movies in the future, and he can't rely on the help of the distribution company for each of them.

After the establishment of the film company, the majority of all projects are taken by their own producers.

Issuing companies only account for 30% at most, and even 10% have the opportunity to talk.

The production cost of "La La Land" this time is only 30 million US dollars!

Chu Xuan made the decision without hesitation to independently produce La La Land!

Even if other companies kneel at the door and beg themselves, they will never get a piece of the pie!

In addition to the film company, Chu Xuan also set up his agency by the way. Before recruiting an agent, he signed himself and Elizabeth Olsen first.

That evening, the two dined together at Robuchon, the most luxurious restaurant in Los Santos, and then quietly listened to musicians in a jazz bar.

"Why did you remember to take me to jazz?"

Elizabeth Olsen asked sweetly.

"In preparation for the musical, the new movie is about jazz."

"That's right." Ao Mei was slightly disappointed.

Recently, Chu Xuan has been busy with setting up a company, so he managed to find time to date with himself.

After she became a well-known movie star, the number of film appointments gradually increased.

But Aomei never gave any answer. Anyway, she is not short of money and has not found a suitable script.

What she hopes most is to have fun with Chu Xuan.

"By the way." Chu Xuan suddenly asked, "Why did you sign without any hesitation? Obviously, you can sign with a more powerful brokerage company. We are just established, so we may not be able to give you very good resources."

"Because you're here..." Elizabeth Olsen murmured. .. *
