Chapter 221 Mainstream! (1/5)

On the afternoon of the 17th, Zhang Junsheng changed into a blue casual outfit and appeared in the parking lot of the Santa Monica Yacht Wharf with Zhou Xun and Wen Ziren...

He came to the Inception party...

This yacht is called Rising Sun, with a total length of 450 feet. It is the 11th largest superyacht in the world...

The cost is more than US$250 million!

Even Little Little Little Zi can't afford it. Its current owner is David Geffen, one of the three giants of DreamWorks...

Its first owner was Larry Ellison, Oracle CEO...

Billionaire!

The only thing in this world that can distinguish a billionaire from a billionaire is a superyacht.

All the facilities and configurations in seven-star hotels are on superyachts, which can only be said to be "standard"...

Only the super big guys who spend money like money will be willing to buy this top luxury product!

However, in 2006, Larry Ellison sold the Rising Sun to David Geffen...

David Geffen is very rich!

After DreamWorks was acquired, he had nearly $2 billion in cash flow. After a series of investments, he now owns almost $3 billion in Apple stocks. In addition to other industries, his personal net worth is more than $7 billion...

Even David Geffen is a little overwhelmed, after all, the annual maintenance cost of the Rising Sun is as high as $13 million!

So, most of the time, this yacht is used for rent.

Rent to some Hollywood bigwigs that David Geffen knows, and of course, the first-line superstars...

The party held by Little Little Li and his girlfriend is a superyacht party.

As one of the starring actors of "Inception", Li Zi certainly knows Zhou Xun, and Xun Ge plays the dream builder Adrian.

Therefore, it is logical for Zhang Junsheng to take Brother Xun to attend a yacht party together...

Of course, there is another producer of Inception, Wan Ziren...

...

The Santa Monica Yacht Pier Area is docked by a series of the most luxurious superyachts in the world!

In fact, every year, Santa Monica holds a yacht show.

Hollywood celebrities can be said to be the customers invited by the exhibition. Compared with some stingy business elites, Hollywood stars with poor overall cultural quality and cultivation prefer Zheng Qianjin.

Some even borrow heavily for this.

The most famous one is of course Nicholas Cage...

"Welcome to Director Zhang, Mr. James, Miss Zhou Xun."

The party’s special person in charge checked the invitation letters of the three, and personally sent the three to the extra deck...

"…I'll go, the rich people are so enviable!"

After feeling the whirlwind of the sea breeze, Zhang Junsheng couldn't help but complain in Chinese!

"Brother, you are rich too!"

Wen Ziren probably knows a little Chinese. When he heard Zhang Junsheng’s complaints, he reminded him...

“…But I would never spend so much money on this kind of thing!”

"I heard from my tax broker that buying a yacht can be tax-deductible. He also suggested buying a yacht worth about tens of millions of dollars..."

Wen Ziren roughly introduced the benefits of raising yachts: First of all, yachts are non-financial assets, and placing assets as yachts can avoid part of taxation. In addition, as a large asset, yachts can be used as residences, so as long as the yacht is decorated like a home and then stay on it for a period of time every year, the yacht can be filed in the name of "second residence" and tax deducted...

In short, there are many benefits!

Zhang Junsheng was a little speechless, and finally he could only sigh: "...I don't understand the logic of you Americans very much!"

After chatting for a while, Zhang Junsheng took the initiative to find the little Li Zi who was chatting with his friend Xiao Ji Ba...

Toby Maguire, Matthew McConaughey, Little Plum's Friends Group…

"Hi, what are you talking about?"

"We are talking about Hollywood today, art films are getting weaker and weaker... I am Matthew, hello, Director Zhang!"

"…Hello, I've watched your "Lincoln Lawyer" and I've performed it very well!"

Zhang Junsheng shook hands with a smile.

When Matthew McConaughey debuted, he was called "Paul Newman". For a long time, he starred in some very vulgar romantic comedies, playing vase roles such as handsome guys, prodigal sons, and Hollywood stallions...

His transformation was probably in 2008. By 2008, he began to get tired of all this. At the same time, he focused on his family. His daughter and son were born in 2008 and 2010. At this time, he received a script called "Lincoln Lawyer". During college, his greatest wish was to become a lawyer. His childhood dream and his unprecedented serious attitude towards this drama made him successfully perform the role of a lawyer.

He and Lizi have always been good friends, and they auditioned for "Titanic" together.

As for Toby Maguire, he has always been one of Little Little Friends. Both of them were child stars and met when they auditioned for the American drama "Being a Parent" together...

Little Lizi asked Zhang Junsheng: "Zhang, do you think popcorn movies have value?"

"Of course it is valuable! The movie has naturally carried commercial attributes since its birth!" After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "On December 28, 1895, the movie was first publicly screened in a cafe. It was "Train Entering the Station" filmed by Lumiere brothers. This day also became the birthday of the movie. However, it was the afternoon of the afternoon when entering this cafe to watch the movie, it would cost 1 franc to pay for the screening fee!"

"The era today is the best time for superhero movies! But there are still a few pure movies that are different from the same popcorn movie every year!"

"In fact, "Inception" is also considered an original genre film!"

This is also the main reason why Zhang Junsheng is willing to cooperate with Christopher Nolan!

In Hollywood adaptation and sequel to the style of Hollywood, Christopher Nolan, David Finch, including Spielberg, is regarded as the last banner of the original big-produced film...

If even they were trying on superhero movies, then... Hollywood is completely the same!

If you want to distinguish Tingfeng from other large Hollywood production companies, in addition to horror movies, the most important thing is to recruit a group of talented and unique top directors...

Investing in "Inception" is also considered a huge sum of money to buy horse bones!

"In fact, from the perspective of the producer, I think that only people buy it and no one buys it. If a commercial film is so vulgar that no one watches it, it will not exist. A movie is a way of expression. As long as it is expressed properly, it is not important to be a commercial film or a literary film. There is no need to praise it, it is all mainstream! Anyway, I will not make a cult movie!"

The mainstream of Hollywood has always been large-scale commercial films and drama films that are popular in the Olympics, namely art films, cults, anti-Semitism, and anti-Christianity are marginal cultures!

Even though Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Jesus" won a box office of 610 million US dollars worldwide, he is still a marginal figure!

Toby Maguire glanced at Little Little Zi and asked, "... Then why has Tingfeng Entertainment insisted on making horror movies?"
