Hollywood Lover

Zhang Dongcheng briefly told Huang Yiyu the story of the Grudge, especially introduced several selling points of the Grudge, and even took the initiative to perform a show, the scary woman in the Grudge walking down the stairs twisting and twisting .

After listening to Huang Yiyu, the whole person became excited, and said excitedly: "Boss, don't worry. Leave this story to me, and I will definitely be able to shoot it well!"

After working as a screenwriter for so many years, Huang Yiyu is very good at identifying scripts. He could feel that the story of the Grudge definitely had a charm no less than that of the god of death.

After the God of Death came and stayed for a few hours, Zhang Dongcheng rushed back to the crew of the dark battle on time before the afternoon.

As for whether The Grudge will actually be filmed, it's just an intention at the moment. Besides, Huang Yiyu hasn't even dealt with the death god yet, so it's too early to talk about the future curse.

As soon as he returned to the set, Zhang Dongcheng saw that Nicholas and Adaman were secretly discussing something.

"Nicholas, are you sure this thing won't lose money?" Adaman asked Nicholas suspiciously.

"Of course!" Nicholas put on a stance of righteousness, and said with Adaman shoulder to shoulder: "Don't forget, I will buy it too. Besides, we can talk to Smith, as long as Smith becomes our neighbor Come to think of it, the hottest stars in Hollywood live on the same piece of land as the director, and the value of this place will definitely increase!"

Adaman finally understood what Nicholas was thinking, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Hey, you are really smart, no wonder you often buy luxury houses."

"How about it? Do you want to persuade other people, such as Andy? The more people buy the villas here, the more valuable our houses will be. This is a win-win approach for everyone! Isn't it?" Nicholas seemed A pyramid scheme, constantly brainwashing Adaman.

Adaman did not doubt that he was there, nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, you are right. Now Smith has become a famous commercial director in Hollywood. If this continues, he will be like a Puritan. As his good friend, I You should persuade him that you can't be so harsh on yourself!"

"That's right!" Nicholas Cage's eyes lit up, and he agreed: "Director Smith is indeed treating himself a little bit lightly."

Zhang Dongcheng who came over did not hear what Adaman and Nicholas were talking about. He looked at Adaman curiously, and said, "Why did you come to the film crew, Adaman? Is there something wrong?"

With the gradual development of Dongcheng Films, Adaman no longer has the time to come to the crew as often as before, and even take charge of various things of the crew.

"Oh! Smith, you're back!" Adaman greeted him enthusiastically, and said, "Smith, I have some good news for you!"

"Tell me. What good news!" Taking advantage of the time when the crew was busy setting up the set, Zhang Dongcheng sat down and asked Adaman.

"Mr. Benjamin contacted us. He has already agreed to your request." Adaman said excitedly.

"What?" Zhang Dongcheng's eyes lit up. This is indeed good news. According to the previous agreement between Zhang Dongcheng and Benjamin of Tolkien's estate management foundation, what he got this time is not only the copyright of Lord of the Rings, but also the Hobbit.

This meant that Zhang Dongcheng had acquired a gold-fishing machine that was comparable to Harry Potter.

Adaman showed a frustrated look, and said: "But Benjamin also made another request. In addition to the 10% box office share, there is also a copyright fee of 30 million U.S. dollars to the foundation!"

"No problem, give it to him!" Zhang Dongcheng agreed without thinking. Let alone 30 million, he would agree even if it was 50 million.

"OK! Then I will contact Benjamin as soon as possible to sign the contract!" The reason why Adaman would secretly discuss with Nicholas in the crew. It's just because when he came to the set, Zhang Dongcheng happened to be visiting the set when Death came to the set.

"Must be quick!" Even knowing that this matter is close to ten, Zhang Dongcheng still has some worries: "Adaman, I don't want any accidents to happen, you should get things done as soon as possible. What do you need?" I came forward, just contact me!"

"Don't worry, Smith, I'll take care of it!" Although Zhang Dongcheng had known Zhang Dongcheng's covetous heart for the Lord of the Rings for a long time, Adaman didn't expect this kind of mentality to be so strong. Judging by his appearance, he didn't even want to wait for a moment, as if he wanted to get the film copyright of Lord of the Rings right away.

After sending Adaman away, Zhang Dongcheng finally realized that he forgot to ask what Adaman and Nicholas were secretly discussing just now.

But there is an Adaman and a Nicholas. Zhang Dongcheng quickly came to Nicholas' side and said, "Nicholas, what ulterior matter were you discussing with Adama just now?"

"Oh!" Nicholas spread his hands and pretended to be wronged: "Director Smith, you have wronged me. Mr. Adaman and I are just communicating normally!"

"Really?" Zhang Dongcheng glanced at Nicholas suspiciously, then his eyes fell on the table.

There was a stack of thick colorful brochures on the table, which were brochures of a certain real estate company.

I have long heard that Nicholas has the habit of buying luxury houses. I thought that he would restrain himself after the financial crisis was severely damaged. I didn't expect that because of the financial crisis, he lost too much money, which made him completely afraid of the financial market. I am interested in real estate such as luxury houses.

These brochures are all villas, and even Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help being moved by the beautiful house in the photos.

Seeing Zhang Dongcheng's eyes on these brochures, Nicholas said in a bewitching tone: "Director Smith, how are you? These villas are beautiful, right?"

Zhang Dongcheng said noncommittally: "It's really beautiful."

"Are you interested in owning one of them?" Nicholas instantly turned into a salesman. He began to talk to Zhang Dongcheng about the benefits of buying one of the buildings.

I have to admit that this guy Nicholas is really good at fooling people. Especially his eyes made Zhang Dongcheng immediately think that what this guy said was true.

For a long time, when Nicholas was still holding shares or Zhang Dongcheng hoped that he would agree to buy one of them. Jack, the cameraman of the crew, came over.

"Director Smith, let the actors start to make up. The set is ready!" Jack came to Zhang Dongcheng. interrupted Nicholas.

Nicholas was slightly disappointed, but he still said unwillingly: "Smith, I mean it, you really should buy one. What do you think?"

Zhang Dongcheng reluctantly put down the brochure in his hand, and said, "Okay, Nicholas, let's not talk about this now. Filming is important. You should hurry up and put on makeup!"

Nicholas was disappointed in his heart. If it wasn't for Jack's sudden move, Zhang Dongcheng might have been moved by what he said.

After Nicholas left, Zhang Dongcheng held the villa brochure and stared at one of them with nostalgia.

This villa is not so appropriate as a villa, it should be called a small manor! It contains a series of luxurious buildings such as swimming pools, small artificial lakes, docks, and helipads.

Owning such a villa is simply a man's romance! No wonder Nicholas is a big spender. Whenever he has money, he will sell the mansion, even if he can't afford it, he still wants to buy it. It turns out that luxurious rooms are so attractive to men.

Even Zhang Dongcheng's perseverance was almost moved, let alone other things.

Soon, the crew of the secret war once again devoted themselves to intense shooting.

In the evening, Adaman called.

"Smith. I've already contacted Benjamin, but you need to come in person to sign the contract. I think you'd better come to the company tomorrow. Oh! God, speaking of this, you are almost a director now, Not like a boss at all!"

Hearing Adaman's complaints, Zhang Dongcheng didn't show the slightest bit of impatience, and said with a smile: "Okay, Adaman, you have worked hard during this time. But now I still need to devote my experience to the shooting of the dark battle. So The company will trouble you for the time being. Besides, if something big happens, I will definitely deal with it. Now you are doing very well, aren't you? "

"****!" Adaman said grievously, "Smith, you are simply a vampire. You mean boss!"

The two joked a little more before hanging up the phone.

Early the next morning, Zhang Dongcheng arrived at the office building of Dongcheng Pictures on time.

After the success of The Matrix, although Zhang Dongcheng thought about buying the building before it appreciated in value, it would be used as the headquarters of Dongcheng Films.

According to the development speed of Dongcheng Pictures, it will be a matter of time before it becomes an entertainment group. Owning an office building of your own is also a matter of course.

However, Zhang Dongcheng suppressed his own thoughts after all. After all, the foundation of Dongcheng Pictures is still relatively weak. It's not too late to buy until it really develops and grows.

After arriving in the small conference room, while Benjamin and other people from the foundation hadn't arrived yet. Adaman began to report some of the company's actions during this period to Zhang Dongcheng.

"Smith, we have already started shooting the movie Prison Break!" Adaman flipped through the files in his hand, and said to Zhang Dongcheng: "The director is Mr. Guy Ferrand. Now the filming has officially started!"

Regarding the prison break TV series, apart from Zhang Dongcheng providing an idea and briefly telling the company's screenwriter team the content of the story, he did not participate too much.

After all, human energy is limited, and it is impossible to do everything by yourself. In this case, even if Zhang Dongcheng had three heads, it would not be enough.
