Chapter 911: 916

The meeting with Mickey Cantor ended at 7 p.m.

Seeing each other off, Simon didn't go upstairs immediately. He turned to the reception hall on the first floor and still chose a sofa beside the glass window to sit down.

It overlooks most of New York.

It's already in full bloom.

Row upon row of urban buildings are densely inlaid with bright lights, like an inverted sea of stars.

Suddenly I feel like a fish.

Fish on shore.

Just like the novel I read in my previous life, the fish on the shore is no longer a fish.

These days, every time Simon meets with people, the most frequent question he is asked is why he wants to go to China. Or, to be more precise, why take a large number of vistro executives to visit China?

Because we all know that Simon is doing this for China's economy. A super rich man standing on the top of the world's wealth has made a clear gesture that he is optimistic about China's economy. Under the capital's pursuit of profits, the effect achieved is far more effective than the Chinese government's 100 times call for reform and opening up.

Simon westero is optimistic about China and is making a lot of investment. Why don't others follow up? Or, who thinks he will make more money than westero?

It can be imagined that Simon's trip to China can almost serve as a new starting point for China's economy.

However, in the view of most Western elites, China certainly can not rise, just as Japan is not allowed to rise. Because everyone knows that the world's resources are not unlimited. If others are strong, it may mean that they are weak. What's more, there are deeper considerations such as skin color and race.

So many people really don't understand.

Even if Simon is very optimistic about China's economic development prospects, low-key investment is absolutely unnecessary. Given the current size of the westero system, China's various concessions for Simon's visit can only be regarded as small favors. If a real Westerner is in Simon's position, he may not even look at it.

A waitress came up with a cup of coffee and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that her boss didn't respond, she had to retreat quietly.

Simon held the warm coffee in his hand, still looking out of the window, but he thought of the book again.

The protagonist with a bumpy fate is the fish that landed.

Before he set out, he refused to pledge his loyalty to human beings, because he had not experienced any happiness, happiness and love in his short life, so he did not recognize his responsibility to human beings. However, at the end of the story, he risked a lot to leave three fairy tales for the earth, which implied the way out for mankind.

Now, Simon is giving us a curvature engine.

In contrast, he could ask for more, and Simon did not. Just like the three terms of film industry reform that Mickey Cantor has just been instructed to talk about, if China can do it, it will benefit more from China's film industry, which has been in the doldrums to the extreme at this time. Simon didn't even mention the fields of Finance and technology. He just asked Mickey Cantor to show his attitude and put some pressure on the other side of the ocean.

There is pressure, there is motivation.

Otherwise, with China's weak and vulnerable technological and financial strength, even if a small gap is opened now, it may be a breakup in the future.

But it is limited to this.

After all, Simon's position is different. It's not the position of the Americans at this time, but the position of "western". From this position, China, the United States and even all other countries on the planet are Simon's hunting grounds.

Because Simon is the most special fish in the world.

Not only across space, but also across time.

There are many other fish of the same kind that cross the space. In this world, Simon knows only one fish that cross the time. Maybe if he finds one in the future, Simon never despises the influence of his big butterfly. However, no matter what the event that should have happened on the other side of the ocean in March this year, it doesn't happen However, cross strait relations are still at the freezing point in recent years.

All in all, Ang Lee doesn't want to get involved in politics.

Simon, of course, understood each other's concerns and said, "Li, I don't deny that this project is related to my trip to China, but you can rest assured that there is no political factor in it. What's more, it may be the end of the year when we start preparing, writing scripts, making scenes, selecting actors, determining shooting plans, etc., and really start shooting. I hope this project will be released next summer, with a gap of one year. In this process, danilisi entertainment will not make any public statements about these two things, so you can rest assured. "

That's a good story.

It's just, how can you be at ease?

Ang Lee thought about it and asked, "Simon, in that case, why do you insist on shooting the film ahead of time?"

Simon looked at each other and said seriously, "first of all, Li, I'm very optimistic about your strength. I believe that the effect of this film will never be worse than that of sense and emotion. Secondly, I hope that through the achievements of this film in the North American market next year, I can indirectly promote the Chinese government's attention to the film industry."These are the truth.

In fact, it's another "fairy tale" Simon gave to China.

At the present stage, China's domestic film market is almost in a state of collapse. Take the number of movie viewers as an example. In the 1980s, China's official annual number of movie viewers reached 29.3 billion, while in the 1990s, this number has plummeted to about 300 million. Even if the former includes such data as free shows in rural areas, and the latter is greatly underestimated due to serious box office fraud in the market, the data gap of nearly 100 times between the two data is shocking enough.

In 1995, even if a series of Hollywood blockbusters were introduced, the total box office in China was only 970 million yuan.

There may be some reasons for the large-scale popularity of TV sets and the proliferation of piracy, but it is undeniable that in the final analysis, the Chinese government does not pay enough attention to the film industry.

How has that changed?

In the original time and space, "Titanic" was a node. The global box office exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars, equivalent to nearly 15 billion yuan. A movie was 10 times the average annual box office of China in the 1990s, which made China see that movies could make so much money. Then, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, which was released in 2000, let China see again that Chinese movies can also make money on a global scale!

Therefore, around the millennium, the Chinese government has finally made up its mind to revive the film industry.

In order to enter the international market, China has also ushered in the era of blockbusters, such as hero, Wuji, banquet and so on.

This time, the super high global box office of "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice" has given enough stimulation to China. What Simon has to do is to take out another dose of "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" in advance, and cooperate with a series of film industry reform clauses that Simon instructed Mickey Kanter to negotiate with the Chinese government, which is enough to make China's film industry advance about five years We are entering a period of recovery.

After all, it's impossible to say too clearly, so Ang Lee obviously still doesn't understand, and he's not confident: "Simon, I don't think crouching tiger, hidden dragon has so much energy."

Simon affirmed, "Lee, all you have to do is do your best, and the rest, Denise entertainment, will take care of it. And, well, this project is not the only one. "

When Ang Lee heard Simon's last words, he relaxed and knew that he didn't have much room to bargain with the opposite youth, so he nodded: "however, Simon, if you want to make a good film, maybe It's better to shoot in the mainland. "

"If you think it is necessary, everything will be kept secret before the completion of this project, including your journey to shoot in the mainland of China. In a word, Li, I just hope you can make this film showing Chinese traditional culture in advance. I think you should be very happy to see it. So, any other questions? "

Ang Lee wanted to say that he didn't. He thought of a detail just now, hesitated a little, and said, "Simon, don't you think my project is more suitable for the end of the year? It's easier to impact the award season."

"Schedule is very important, Li, but it's never the decisive factor. What's more, this project is more commercial in nature, which can only be seen by more people in summer

The real reason is that Titanic will be on at the end of next year.

In front of the big ship, any other project will be crushed. As a matter of fact, the initial schedule of Titanic is next summer, but Simmons doesn't feel that a serious procrastinator can finish the project on time. She has moved the film to the end of 1997.

Simon actually takes awards into consideration.

Even though this year's "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice" has been shining on the Oscars, "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" still won't have many opportunities as long as Titanic achieves the dazzling results as it did in the original time and space, so it's still the same as it did in the original time and space.

In this case, it doesn't matter much whether it is put at the end of next year.

Danylis entertainment can make up for the box office promotion brought by the award season, because the box office success of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon is mainly due to the excellent performance of the film itself and just fitting in with the aesthetic taste of Western audiences. Of course, the nomination in the award season has brought benefits, but it is basically adding flowers to the brocade.

Ang Lee thought a little and said, "in this case, the production cycle may be a little tense."

"It will be released at the end of July and the beginning of August next year. There is still plenty of time. Although it's not as good as June and July, you know, it's more suitable for a word-of-mouth movie to go on the long-term. Many box office black horses are born at the end of summer holidays."

Ang Lee quickly combed in his mind again, and finally nodded: "well, I have no problem."
