Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 66
"Mr. Joe, what's the matter with you coming to America?"
Sitting in the viewing room of 20th Century Fox, the front small screen was showing the film Project A. It was the shot of Cheng Long jumping from the clock tower, but He Guanchang came to Qiao Feng's ear and whispered his doubts. .
"It's just curiosity, let's come out with you to have a long experience." Qiao Feng answered with a smile.
This is not the first time that Jiahe's people have asked this question, nor is it the first time they watched a movie in this studio, and asked Qiao Feng this question for the first time.
After arriving in the United States, the group has been to Warner and Twentieth Century Fox twice.
The first one was Warner, and the one who came out to receive was a distribution manager named Thomas, who was responsible for the distribution of the killer trenches shot by Golden Harvest in the United States.
With this level of cooperation, and this person also has time, so their first stop is Warner.
After watching the entire film of Project A in the studio, Thomas praised Cheng Long’s thrilling and wonderful performances in the film, but when Zou Wenhuai and the others were overjoyed, Thomas was sorry to say that he was not optimistic about this film. In the US market, it is not prepared to report the issue discussed above.
The reason is simple. This is a Hong Kong movie. The actors in it are basically all Asians with yellow skin and dark eyes, and they are not well-known in the United States. American audiences who are blind would not choose to watch such a movie.
After being frustrated with Thomas, Zou Wenhuai unwillingly found Twentieth Century Fox. The receptionist here was also the publishing manager named Brad.
Last year’s Cannonball Speed was released by Twentieth Century Fox, so Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang and Brad have known each other.
But old acquaintances are not useful, especially the Chinese people's relationship is not working in a place where interests are paramount in the United States. Brad also refused to release the film after watching the film for the same reason as Thomas.
When watching the film that time, Zou Wenhuai once again asked Qiao Feng why he came to the United States. Qiao Feng gave him the same answer, just to gain knowledge.
Qiao Feng couldn't get the truth, and the film was rejected again. Zou Wenhuai's face was almost as dark as a hardcore.
The aggrieved Zou Wenhuai didn’t give up, and contacted the senior officials known to Warner and Twentieth Century Fox, and then the senior officials from Warner gave the first reply. They can watch the film again and organize Warner’s directors. Watch the movie with the producer.
For Golden Harvest, a wealthy Hong Kong film and theater company, these Hollywood film companies still value it. Not only did Warner agree to have another movie show, but the senior management of 20th Century Fox also persuaded the company to watch movies again. Find experienced directors and producers to participate in the film.
However, he went back in despair, and Warner’s filming would again end in rejection. Zou Wenhuai also saw the reality clearly, and he wanted to release Project A to the United States.
Twentieth Century Fox’s filming is already Zou Wenhuai’s last hope, because all distribution companies except Warner and Twentieth Century Fox rejected him at the very beginning, even without meeting, they refused directly on the phone. .
Several directors and producers of Fox in the 20th century watched the film with relish, and from time to time they gathered together and whispered something. This performance gave Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang a lot of hope.
"Mr. Qiao, do you think they will agree to the release?" He Guanchang asked a little nervously.
Qiao Feng shook his head. He was not optimistic about this movie watching. In fact, he was not optimistic about Zou Wenhuai's trip to the United States from the beginning.
Of course, Qiao Feng was also very disappointed with his trip to the United States. He did not meet the luck he wanted to meet.
In the two trips to Warner, I didn’t meet anyone I wanted to meet, and I didn’t find any news. Qiao Feng began to wonder if his trip to the United States was too early.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed, Qiao Feng stood up gently, signaled He Guanchang to go out by himself, then opened the door and walked out.
The corridor was empty and there was no one. Qiao Feng lit a cigarette and wandered to the stairwell. Smoking is not good in public places. Generally, no one in the stairwell is the most suitable place to smoke in a building.
I hadn't smoked two cigarettes when I came to the stairwell. There was a rapid sound of high heels stepping on the ground in the elevator room separated by a wall. Besides the sound of people wearing high heels, there were other people's footsteps.
Then there was a burst of English. Qiao Feng’s English level was a mess, but he heard it clearly and understood what it meant. Thanks to his own golden finger.
He remembers everything he has seen in his previous life. He has seen so many European and American movies, British and American dramas, and all original soundtracks. Now when he hears English, he automatically takes what he hears and the English conversations in his mind. The same part of the composite combination is presented in the brain, just like simultaneous translation.
Not only can he understand English, but he can also speak fluent English. As long as there is something in the memory of the previous life in his mind, he can hear it.
Of course not only in English, the same is true for others I have seen.
Now he clearly heard the woman on the other side wearing high heels saying to another person: "Bob, James is a very talented director, and he wrote the script. Let him direct the best film. As a result, the box office will definitely sell well."
"No, Annie, he is just a newcomer. He has only directed one film and failed. We can't let him direct the film. However, if he sells the script, I might consider buying it. "It's called Bob. The man said contemptuously.
"This..." The woman named Annie hesitated, as if she was a little moved.
"No, I won't give up the right to direct, Annie, we have an agreement. You promised that I can shoot the clips as I want." Another male voice spoke.
"In this case, there is nothing to say, sorry, Annie."
Hearing the conversation over there, Qiao Feng's eyes lit up. He was not interested in the one named Bob, but he became more interested in the woman named Annie and another man who was talking.
Because he had a hunch that he was struggling to find luck that he could not touch, he would run into the Fox in the 20th century.
Could it be that there is no place to look for through the iron shoes, and it is no effort to get it? Or is it called the mountains and the rivers to be suspicious, and the willows are bright and another village?
No matter what, go out and see if you can talk about it.
With excitement, Qiao Feng threw away his cigarette butt and walked out from the stairwell.
There was still talking over there, mainly the woman named Annie was talking, but the sound of the elevator arriving rang, Qiao Feng had just turned the corner and hadn’t seen the person clearly. At this time, he could not wait much. He hurriedly shouted, "Miss Anne, please wait a moment."
