Chapter 1458: The same

After chatting about the popular "Shocking Scream", Jenny Lesenberg walked away first, and the little maid made a few words with Robert Shea. She turned around and was about to socialize on her own. Mona Elmery, who had been helping her pay attention to the party scene, pointed in one direction.

Looking over, the little maid's eyes narrowed slightly.

Unexpectedly, the other two of the three-piece Huanzhu also appeared at the party.

Think about it, this party that indicates the expansion of the new line actually means countless new opportunities, and it is the kind of opportunity that is more friendly to newcomers. After all, non-schedule films that focus on direct television and video channels cannot be too high, and they will inevitably prefer cheap newcomers.

In addition, Jeremy Zhao is not an unknown person in WMA, and it is not difficult to get tonight's tickets for the two customers he just signed.

The little maid looked over and saw the other two girls who had just entered the venue also just soaring over.

He did not openly tear his face. Since he met him, he certainly could not ignore him. The little maid took the initiative to walk over and greeted the two of them generously: "Are you here too?"

Even if the big eyes and Ziweihua wished to scratch the little maid's face, it would be impossible for her to have no emotional intelligence to confront the other party on such occasions. She responded with a smile, but there was a spark in her tone of the big eyes: "Yes, we didn't expect that we could attend such occasions, which was really surprising."

The little maid kept silent: "Then you have to cheer up. There are a lot of Hollywood celebrities here, and maybe you can get some opportunities."

The three girls were talking in sparks. Not far away, two young men who noticed here came over with wine glasses. One of them showed a handsome smile: "Hey, girls, good evening, I am James Franco, can I get to know each other?"

Seeing the young man reaching out, the little maid didn't answer. He confirmed that the young man was not a big name he knew. Mona behind him did not remind him, and then he jokingly signaled to the other side: "He wants to know you."

The young man also happened to hit the door panel.

If it was another time, in such a party, even if the other party had other ideas, the three girls who were smart would skillfully try to get along with the other party.

Now, no one is to be outdone.

Seeing the little maid say this, her big eyes turned directly behind her to a maid who also attended as their translator: "Allie, please help us get to know this gentleman."

The waitress, who was called Ellie, had no choice but to step forward, but instead of facing the young man's hand, she made a clear obstruction gesture with her body: "Sorry, two and three ladies don't want to be disturbed."

When the young man saw Ellie blocking her face, he suddenly seemed to think of something. He subconsciously withdrew his hand and decisively blocked his companion who wanted to take a step forward. He bowed slightly and smiled, "It's okay, oh, it's us who took the liberty."

As he said that, he stopped his companion's arm and turned around and left.

Because I suddenly thought of the words my agent had told them more than once: In this circle, don't mess with the woman who follows the servants, because that's probably Simon Westeros' girl.

The young man sighed while walking.

God, I really met it.

However, the three Asians, well... they shouldn't be pretending. Otherwise, even if Asian celebrities have frequently appeared in Hollywood in recent years, their status is not high after all. The three girls just now were not the kind of familiar faces. What else can they do to be able to enter this party except for someone to support them?

He sent the passerby who ran into him casually, and his big eyes were bound to be proud. Just as he was about to say something, the little maid had already snatched up and said, "It's very majestic, but don't forget, he definitely doesn't want you to show off his name outside."

Big eyes suddenly felt guilty and fought back: "What name do I call? Have you seen it?"

Seeing that the big eyes were a little confused, the little maid sneered, and refused to quarrel with the other party, so she turned around and left. She also thought about meeting next time, and found an opportunity to mention the episode of Big eyes tonight tonight as a "interesting thing" and someone casually.

Humph.

Ziweihua watched the little maid leave, worried: "Will she..."

Big eyes calmed down at this time, shook her head and said, "She takes Mona outside with her all day long. What's the right to say to us?"

Ziweihua thought about it, so she felt relieved and looked around. Because Jeremy Zhao was on the West Coast, no one guided them to socialize tonight, so she could only socialize by herself. However, Ziweihua quickly found a target and pulled the big eyes next to her: "It's Ang Lee over there, let's go and greet him, he and I are fellow villagers."

Big eyes nodded and walked over together. After Ang Lee and a guest finished their social engagement, the two women walked forward at the right time and took the initiative to greet him.

Because "Return of the Condor Heroes" is very popular in the entire Greater China area, Ang Lee also knew that the two girls, and Ziweihua was a fellow villager in the same province, so he became more enthusiastic. After chatting for a while, Ang Lee not only introduced his royal producer James Shams to them, but also took the initiative to bring the two girls to greet some acquaintances in the New York film circle, and finally exchanged business cards.

It is a bit regrettable that during the conversation, I learned that the new film that Ang Lee was preparing is a story about the American Civil War, which means that there is no room for Asians to play.

In any case, the two were quite satisfied with the results of the social engagement tonight. Without Ang Lee's help, they would inevitably bump around like headless flies.

However, after parting with Ang Lee, the rest of the time is still up to yourself.

Fortunately, neither of them is the kind of person who is thin-skinned. Besides, even if their identities are not talkative, the scene will inevitably spread gradually. No matter what kind of thoughts are, they are quite polite to them, no matter how big or small their identities are, and even talk about some cooperation intentions on the spot.

This is also a blessing for the sudden increase in Hollywood Asian faces in recent years.

What do Americans only like to see black and white on the big screen? Actually, it’s not. At first, Americans only like to see white on the big screen, but then there was black. Now, there is a more yellow, and it’s natural to see too much. Just like later, Mexicans have, Indians have, and even go further. If you don’t have an LGBTQ in the movie as the protagonist, you will be embarrassed to say hello to others when you go out.

Therefore, there has never been any unchanging habits, only constant changes.

Time flies quickly during social engagements. I talked with the Qiong Chen, who became famous for "The Last Emperor". When the other party walked away, Big Eyes and Ziweihua smugly teased the Chinese actress who is very famous in China for their vague vigilance and fear. Looking at her watch, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

It was time to leave, but subconsciously walked around the hall and patrolled. When he found that the little maid had not left, he continued to persevere.

The little maid also noticed the two people staring at her not far away again, but ignored it, and focused on chatting with the two girls she had just met in front of her, namely Lena Kane and Annika Seitel.

Just now, when she was about to participate in the director of "Edge of Crisis", Joseph Nicher, who helped introduce her, learned that the two were behind the two famous hot pseudo-documentary films in Hollywood in the past two years. Annika Seitel also set up her own production company this year, and this time she will work with Xinyi to collaborate with a horror thriller project.

But it is not a pseudo-documentary movie, but a regular movie.

Speaking of which, pseudo-documentary movies are easier to enter into a Hollywood type. The little maid thinks that if she hadn't been able to catch up next year's schedule, it might be good to participate in a similar project, because the cost is very low, so she could even invest and try to dominate herself.

Unfortunately, I can only think about it for the time being.

On the other hand, Lena Kane and Annika Seitel chatted with the little maid for a while, left contact information to each other, and stopped continuing tonight's social engagement and walked out of the banquet hall together.

After leaving the hall, he turned his head and looked at it again, and Annika joked, "That Chinese girl is just like you."

Lina rolled her eyes: "It's obvious," and said, "He has too many women, so many that I have never had a chance to stuff you together several times."

Annika just smiled and took her over intimately: "I have you enough, baby."

With a joke, Lena said again: "Do you still keep the business card for the Farey brothers who sell their "I'm in Mary" ideas at the party?"

"Of course," Annika nodded, saying, "The problem is, Lena, are we not good at comedy?"

"How do you know if you don't try it?" Lina said: "We always have to break through the genre, so we start with this movie. To be honest, the box office of "Shocking Scream" this time is really surprising."

Lina doesn't want to give up her career as an agent, and wants to get involved in production as much as possible. Due to industry regulations, she asked Annika to set up a production company as a shell, and her name is casually called Settle Entertainment.

Then, Lina, an agent who cannot nominally get involved in production, participated in the packaging agreement mechanism created by CAA back then. Although she does not hold shares, she can legitimately interfere with the production company project and share profits, and can continue to push the artists under her name, killing multiple goals at one fell swoop.

In fact, in any country or industry in the world, there are policies and countermeasures at the top.

For example, the upper limit of Hollywood agent commission is 10%, so a manager's career can break through the limit and get 20% or even 30% or even more commissions. For example, agents cannot get involved in film production to avoid conflicts of interest, so a CAA package agreement mechanism emerges. The push is still the artist, but they can draw the share of the entire project, which is similar to the fact that Qualcomm later only authorized part of the communication patent but had to directly draw the commission from the sales of the mobile phone manufacturer's entire machine.

Of course, the premise is that you must have core competitiveness.

CAA's core competitiveness back then was one of its big names, and Qualcomm's later core competitiveness was monopolized 3G and even 4G patents.

Let’s talk about Lina and the other two, their core competitiveness is the personal strength proved by the successive hits of the two pseudo-documentary films, "The Ghost Record" and "The Witch Blair", as well as the intimate relationship between Lina and a man.

Since Lena made up her mind, Annika turned to the actual problem and said, "I think the idea they were selling is more like the Thanksgiving "Tea Boy" than the recent "Shocking Scream."

"That's not bad. You can contact them tomorrow and check out the script first. I think it can be made into an adult version of "American Pi".

Annika thought for a while, nodded, and said, "You can also refer to the summer "Hangover", which is the real comedy dark horse this year. It only got $182 million in the local box office, and it is completely original. It doesn't have the popularity foundation of "Shocking Scream", which is amazing."

"You're too greedy to do both "Hangover" and "American Pie"," Lina smiled and shook Annika, saying, "It's enough for us to make one of them. Of course, we'll discuss it in detail after we see the script."

The two girls said as they came downstairs of the hotel. Lina's servant had already parked the car on the side of the road.

After getting in the car, Lina returned to the temporary villa residence where she was the privilege of Simon's woman. The two girls took a shower together and came to the fourth floor master bedroom on the second floor of the Upper East District. She lay on the big bed and continued to discuss the project to cooperate with the new line. She did not go to bed together until after twelve o'clock.

Get up early the next day.

As Christmas approaches, he flew to New York from the West Coast, not just to negotiate with the new line project. Lina also has to go to Marvel in the morning to discuss the details of the creation of the comic with Frank Miller, who is in charge of writing "Spartan 300 Warriors".

Simon first came up with this creative plan and handed it over to Zach Schneider as the next project after "Resident Evil". At that time, Lina could find someone to write a manga version at Marvel. After some contact, it was very coincidental and a little natural. Frank Miller, the original author of "Spartan 300 Warriors", who had worked at Marvel for many years, expressed his interest. After contacting the two sides, it was soon finalized.

Lina went to Marvel in the morning, while Annika rushed to the new line separately to further discuss the youth horror film project that the two parties will cooperate with soon.

This time it is not a pseudo-documentary movie, because Lena keeps in mind someone's teachings. pseudo-documentary movies are just non-mainstream after all. If you want to make a difference in Hollywood, you should focus on mainstream movies.

At the same time, this project did not ask someone for help, but instead a script that Lina found herself.

The story tells the story of a serial murder case in a high school in a small town. It just so happens to be a bit like "Scream" back then. However, this time it is not a perverted murderer, but a murder case that possesses evil spirits. In order to avoid being killed by evil spirits one by one, several male and female protagonists involved work hard to find the truth.

In general, it focuses on horror and blood, and it can stimulate adrenaline.

To put it bluntly, Hollywood teenage horror movies are basically those routines. As long as they are not too bad, they can sell well. They can be said to be prosperous, because this type has a very stable audience, that is, the vast North American teenagers who are energetic and like to stimulate.

As for whether these videos will lead to imitation crimes, it is not something that everyone is concerned about.
