In November, a big thing happened in the United States: Bush won the election and became the 41st president of the United States.

He only worked for one term, his performance was mediocre at home, and he faced a lot of bad debts left by Reagan; he was very active outside, such as diplomacy and military, and launched the Gulf War.

After him was Clinton, and after Clinton was Bush's eldest son, Bush Jr.

The Bush family is very awesome in the United States.

In the 1970s, Bush was the director of the liaison office in China. He often rode his bicycle around the alley and loved eating Chinese food. He also left a Bush menu: Beijing roast duck, salt-pig prawns, old BJ lamb chops, stir-fried shredded beef, and dried roasted green beans.

He is one of the few American presidents who have a good impression of China, but due to the overall environment, he has not taken many measures.

“The times are changing!”

At the end of November, when Chen Qi returned to Los Angeles, he saw the Bush signs on both sides of the car. He couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the wheels of history were rolling forward, and the time travelers could only be careful to avoid history's nothingness.

"I don't know what policies will be for the new president to take office?" Jiang Zhiqiang said.

"The policy is not clear, but I'm sure California will soon be no Republican territory!"

Facing Jiang Zhiqiang's puzzled gaze, Chen Qi shrugged and said, "It's very simple! There are more and more non-white people in California, blacks, Latinos, and Asians. They are the natural votes for the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party has never been favored by these people in terms of immigration policies.

There are many universities in California, many high-tech industries, and Hollywood is so free and unrestrained. What are the immigrants, environmental protection, homosexuals... They are more likely to accept these things. In order to poach, the Democratic Party will further advocate these things, thus forming a vicious cycle."

Cold Knowledge: California used to be the Republican territory, and has been supporting the Democratic Party since the 1992 election.

"Does that affect us?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked.

"You said?"

"Hollywood has always been the vanguard of political trends. If they advocate these, hiss!"

Jiang Zhiqiang was thrilling: "We won't be shooting gay or black movies anymore, are we?"

"Haha! You've grasped the essence."

Chen Qi said with joy: "There is no need now, there must be a transition period."

Jiang Zhiqiang understood and scratched his head again. It seemed that he had slowly tilted some resources to Halle Berry, so it would be better to find another black male actor with potential.

Soon, the car arrived at the hotel. This is Chen Qi's permanent hotel in Los Angeles. He packed it for a quarter and could stay for six months a year. He was very familiar with him from the manager to the cleaner. He knew that he was back and cleaned the room early.

Amid the greetings of "Mr. Chen" and "Mr. Chen", I returned to the warm room.

He opened his suitcase and packed his clothes. Jiang Zhiqiang burned a pot of water and soaked him in the best high-quality high-smashing and continued to report: "The Hollywood strike is over, and all projects are rushing to start construction. Now there are not enough studios. A large number of movies will definitely be released next year."

"Several companies came to ask for the price and said how much does it cost to write a script now?"

“Has the market increased?”

"It's a lot! You used to have a script of 600,000, but now you can talk about 2 million." Jiang Zhiqiang said.

In the past, Hollywood scripts were only within 1 million at most. After this strike, the script market soared, like "Instinct" in 1992, sold for $3 million. "Agent Mad Flower" in 1996, sold for $4 million, setting the highest price at that time.

So Chen Qi is not short of money.

His back is not good, and the leader is very relieved of him. It is very difficult to corrupt capitalism and win over it, unless he is given the US Secretary of Truth.

But he was not in the mood to write now, just said, "Let's go back first! I only care about the progress of the negotiations between Colombia and the Japanese. Have they paid the second amount of money?"

"Just called!"

"oh?"

Chen Qi hung a shirt in the closet and smiled, "That means it's still a tug of war, and Colombia is eager to prove itself."

"I Know What You Do Last Year" has a box office of 70 million, which is an independent investment in production. If the theaters share and agency fees are deducted, Oriental Company can share 26.25 million.

"Rain Man" has a box office of 200 million yuan, which is a joint investment, and Oriental Company accounts for 32%. It means that they can only get 32% of the money left by deducting theaters and promoting the publication, and the profit is not much. But Chen Qi signed the agreement that he dominated the publicity strategy, allowing Jinpike and "Rain Man" to achieve each other, so he also accounts for a part of the promotional cost.

In short, in the end, I can get 31.5 million.

Add to the 100 million yuan of "Neighbor War" and "Forty-year-old Virgin", that is 5.7 billion yuan!

Chen Qi thought about it and ordered: "A Qiang! Please help me make an appointment with Jon Peters!"

"good!"

……………………

After the strike turmoil, Hollywood returned to normal and delayed projects were started.

Some movies that received the help of Fantastic Chinese have made progress and have not been delayed for too long, including "Batman".

The script problem of "Batman" is that producer Jon Peters and director Tim Burton want to enrich the depth of the character of Joker and add the origin narrative to it: How did Joker come about and why did it become like this?

They looked for Chen Qi, but Chen Qi's opinion was that there is no need for the Joker to have any depth, because you, Batman, don't have depth. If you make the Joker to be deep, then put the cart before the horse.

The growth and transformation of the old version of Batman is very simple and direct, unlike the Nolan version of "The Dark Knight".

It is a story of justice and evil. Batman represents justice and the clown represents evil. The times and environments are different. What depth in the 1980s may be self-defeating.

So Chen Qi's opinion is that it's over to make a commercial movie.

The Joker was originally a member of a gangster. He was abused by his father in childhood, betrayed by his wife in adulthood, and his life was full of emojis. Later, because of Batman, he fell into the chemical pool and was disfigured and was mentally ill.

He was like a mental illness and wanted to destroy Batman, and at the same time he wanted to take revenge on Batman, a clear opposition between good and evil.

If you want to add depth to the Joker, you have to add depth to Batman, and the entire script will be overturned and rewritten. Warner couldn't accept it, so he agreed to Chen Qi's plan.

At present, the film has been filmed and entered its later stages and is scheduled to be released in the summer next year.

Jon Peters was a little surprised by Chen Qi's sudden invitation, but he also rushed to the hotel. The two met in the room and chatted casually for a while. Jon Peters said, "Chan! What's the matter with me?"

"I heard you have a company yourself?"

"Yes, I opened it with a partner."

"Then what's your relationship with Warner?"

"Probably your cooperative relationship with Colombia, but we are closer, we signed a long-term cooperation agreement..."

Jon Peters asked strangely, "Chan! What are you doing inquiries about this? Don't have any ideas about my company, right?"

"That's not! We are friends too. Out of the kindness of my friends, I really want to provide you with a brand new path in life. Your company is not large and working with Warner is at best a senior producer. Do you want to go further?"

The next sentence made Jon Peters squirt out.
Chapter completed!
