392: Richest Young Man of the Year

(Thank you for the reward of the 'Still Horse Series'. The second update is delivered to you with 4,000 words!)

Han Siping looked at the young man enthusiastically, younger than his son, but richer than himself. In front of a big shot in the film industry, he asked: "Donglai, you are also the first company in China to make a name for yourself in Hollywood. What kind of attitude do you think the Chinese market should be treated with the Hollywood blockbusters now? Now American blockbusters are getting stronger and bigger, and they are annoying!"

Li Donglai pretended to be flattered and said, "Uncle Han, you have praised me, and you don't look at my qualifications. In front of so many seniors, I am just a lucky person with good luck. For such a profound topic, please ask me?"

The big guys around him laughed. Isn’t that what some of them think? Western media is so good at bragging about, such as directors and rescue works. These big guys think it’s a bit exaggerated. It’s only been a few years since they played with it. What do you know?

But the achievements of others are there, three movies, the lowest one, and the global box office is 390 million. This is a US dollar, which really blinded the attention of a group of people. In addition, this time, he dared to spend 200 million to invest in blockbusters. No one in the world dared to do this. But they succeeded. Behind this represents the rushing and collision of a young man, or is it not at all in hand? It seems that it is the former.

Wang Zhongjun smiled and said, "Who dares to underestimate you in the whole world now? Mr. Li, what do you think? Just agree. Let's listen carefully."

Li Donglai refused too much and smiled and said, "Then I'll just talk about my own superficial opinions. If you say something wrong, don't take it to your heart." Everyone looked at him with a giggle, but when he was about to make a statement, he still attracted all the ears far and near.

Li Donglai took a sip of the drink, moistened his voice, and sorted out his language: "My personal idea is that the domestic film industry is currently a bit aggressive. It is not short of money, but it lacks fineness. Now the world's film industry has developed and there is no excellent production. The idea of ​​relying on overseas to recover costs is worthwhile. Now many movies have hired Hollywood technology, but this is also a way to quench thirst."

"Chinese filmmakers used to regard Weinstein as a savior, but now everyone says when they mention his name. Oh, a liar. Weinstein has a common trick. He will say, I will spend $8 million to buy your film. After he said this, other publishers will not compete. After Weinstein paid a deposit of $200,000, he will say that he doesn't want to buy this film, and he would rather not have the deposit. After a while, he will tell you again. Now I'm paying $1 million, will you sell it?"

Everyone was shocked. They thought Li Donglai could only say some good things about Hollywood. But unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he only bombarded Hollywood and exposed the scams of Hollywood businessmen without hesitation!

Some of the far away who were just talking in a warm manner unconsciously closed their mouths, turned their eyes here, and listened to Li Donglai's speech.

Yes, this is a heavy cannon. While bombarding Hollywood, it also hits the faces of the bosses present.

Li Donglai continued: "China's vast cultural market is a great temptation to Hollywood, which is the first to be profitable. Over the years, although Chinese filmmakers have benefited a lot from the promotional strategies of Hollywood commercial films, the operating model of celebrity casts, and the influx of large amounts of capital, there are still many problems that have been unresolved from creation to cooperation."

"I haven't been in Hollywood for long. But I also know that some big companies have done something illegal in the process of cooperating with China."

"Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou did not make much money overseas, which is a fact that it is not public. But that is the issuer's problem. Because he is at a disadvantage. But are those methods of cheating money just publishers?

Li Donglai continued: "Not only did he take away Chinese movies at a low price by deceiving tricks to sell them at a high price. Moreover, after the films produced by China and Hollywood were filmed together, he would also take away the copyright on the grounds that their "legal department cannot agree". This practice is not fair and very arrogant."

Li Donglai's shot not only peeled off the painted skin of Hollywood publishers, but also challenged the arrogance and unfair practices of Americans.

The audience was completely unexpected that Li Donglai did not say anything about Hollywood as Han Siping's intention. His position at this time was not a Hollywood person, but was completely standing on the standpoint of Chinese movies. He couldn't help but narrow the distance between Li Donglai and everyone present.

Yes, this kid is also Chinese! Even his nationality is Chinese, not a banana person who makes money.

Li Dong took a look at Han Siping and said, "As for Uncle Han's question just now, the issue of Sino-US film exchanges and the introduction of blockbusters."

"My personal opinion is that the two parties are in a very unbalanced state now. On the one hand, Chinese filmmakers want to go out, but in the end they find that more people come in. Hollywood is like a piece of meat hanging far away. If you want to eat it, you have to go far. Maybe when you get in front of you, the meat is broken.

"On the other hand, the American film industry is strong, prosperous and has brilliant performance, creating 2.4 million jobs, and has become the engine and booster of the US economy. China's current film industry is still quite scarce. With large-scale film production, it can only find foreign technology and marketing teams, so the money has flowed to the pockets of foreign companies.

"Hollywood looks at the surface and is essentially using your influence in the Chinese film market to share the spoils in China. They will not push your movies to the whole world at all."

"My personal opinion is that at this stage, don't have any fantasy that they can help us enter the US market. It is practical to attract their industrial system and technology. Learn from foreigners to control foreigners, just like me. This communication must be two-way, openly competing with Hollywood, and this competition must be win-win."

"Baobabababababa..."

There was a lot of applause at the scene, which was the first time that someone had spontaneously applauded in the few hours of this party.

Li Donglai talked freely, his thoughts were clear, and he always made people feel heartfelt. Although he was firing a cannon, he was shot without firing, and he was very happy. This made the Chinese filmmakers present excited and his ambition greatly increased! Moreover, he had a strong aura, which made people not think that he was a young man at all.

The final summary speech said: "If you really think about Chinese movies, then don't have too much expectations for entering Hollywood. It is very important to go your own way. The potential of the Chinese market is so huge that the speed of progress in the past few days can be seen. In a few years, Hollywood movies will beg to enter the Chinese market..." After a pause, he pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that I have forgotten that I am one of the introductions. Of course, I am my own person, so I should be cautious with others, and I can still cooperate with Phantom's movies with complete confidence."

"Hahaha".

He had a strong aura just now, and this funny summary at the end made people realize that this was still a young man. He couldn't help but cause laughter. But the shocking speech just now also made these ambitious bosses less contempt for Li Donglai.

If someone is famous, he will win the second largest box office in the world. He is not a person who is famous for his reputation.

After the meeting, the big guys left. I had already heard the news and heard the news that many media reporters who came to wait outside and caught the big guys and started the interview.

As the most special one, Li Donglai is naturally the most popular. But unfortunately, Brother Donglai is too fast and there is no one when he goes out. They had to catch the interview with the Two Wangs, Han Siping, Wang Changtian and others, but the inquiry is nothing more than what he thinks of Li Donglai and how Li Donglai is like.

Han Siping was very happy to be interviewed: "Donglai is very good, has unique insights into domestic movies, and his speech is thought-provoking. He is a good guy!" Oh. He was so intimate. It seems that Brother Donglai was having a good time among the big guys. Wang Zhongjun also said: "I look forward to working with Mr. Li. Although he is young, he is very talented."

A group of reporters here surrounded several big bosses. Ms. Cai Yinong, who was there, quietly revealed a big news: "Donglai is interested in forming Phantom China, and we, Tangren, are looking forward to working with him."

Oh, another intimate person called me, and even revealed such a big news! The reporters were satisfied and gained a lot!

"Yesterday afternoon, a silent gathering was held quietly in a hotel in Beijing. However, the participants were the bosses of domestic film and television entertainment companies, including the bosses of domestic giant film and television media companies such as China Film, Huayi, and Light. Li Donglai, president of Phantom Company and director of "Inception", also attended. The specific content of the conversation has not been disclosed yet, but it can be imagined that the matters that these big bosses gathered together to discuss can definitely influence the future direction of the Chinese film and television industry."

"Many bosses who attended the party all praised Li Donglai..."

Many newspapers and online media are scrambling to report on the situation of this non-public gathering, with different contents, and the pictures used are all taking photos of Li Donglai and smiling among the big bosses.

A young and heroic handsome guy took a photo with a group of middle-aged men who were very rustic. Donglai Ge's wise and magical martial arts immediately became prominent. This is the cover character of the year of "People" magazine, and the character who appeared on the cover of "Time" Weekly Asian and American versions.

It cannot be ignored!

All parties acted upon hearing the news and tried every means to find out what happened at the party.

Although some bosses are vague and keep their mouths tight, there are too many people, and there are always some people who are selfish. However, the parties have had tacit understanding before and do not publicly disclose the contents of the party. They do not dare to offend too many people, but just reveal some things slightly.

Then, the next day, the media reported it in full swing.

"Li Donglai is in Cao's camp and is in the heart of Han. Even if he enters Hollywood, he will bombard the essence of Hollywood cooperation and alert his compatriots." "Hollywood shows love to you on the surface, but in fact, it is to use your influence in the Chinese film market to divide the spoils in China. They will not push your movies to the whole world at all."

"Please advise Chinese films not to blindly follow the trend of ancient costume martial arts, saying that it is very dangerous." "People who recommend young people to sign up for film and television schools, choose more basic film and television industry categories, and don't think about being stars."...

"At this stage, don't have any fantasies that they can help us enter the US market. It is only realistic to attract their industrial system and technology. And shout out loud that you should not have expectations for entering Hollywood. It is very important to go your own way. The kingdom is to build the local market with peace of mind first!"

Once these conversations were posted on the pages of online media, they immediately aroused enthusiastic response from netizens.

"Donglai brother, the good son of the people. It's so bombarded! But what should you do with your own movie?"

Netizens' favorite, Xika said, "There are too many people following the trend in China now. When Ang Lee won the award when he saw him filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he jumped in. I heard that Chen Kaige also wanted to film costume myths. But you also have to film it well! What kind of mess is all about "Heroes"? "Ten-Ambushes" is also popular."

Also, because Brother Donglai's master is his grandfather's life-saving benefactor, he loves the house and the mistress, and "sleeps when he is sleepy" netizens have now become Brother Donglai's loyalty. He posted: "China Film has made a great cause for the founding of the country and the party, and has attracted more than a hundred celebrities. It seems to be lively and has a good box office, but in fact it has no achievements. It is entirely due to squeezing the box office obtained by other cinemas. Let's take a look at "Inception", people are willing to queue up to buy tickets"...

Of course, some people expressed disdain, "How old he is, he will just point fingers at other people's movies. Don't think that going into Hollywood is awesome. If you have the ability, you can also shoot a domestic movie and see it, and you will still die in the light."

"Hey, don't say it, Brother Donglai really has this idea."

This kind of news was revealed in the subsequent news reports.

According to Cai Yinong, the president of Tangren Film and Television, Li Donglai intends to establish Phantom China Company and will shoot local films.

This news made some people happy, and some people were worried: "Brother Donglai, you can develop in Hollywood with peace of mind. Don't come back, the water in the mainland is too dark, don't dye you smelly." Strangely, this view has been recognized by many netizens.

When I didn't come back, I was crazy about him coming back. Now I'm going back, but I have this kind of thought. How deep is domestic movie fans looking forward to Brother Donglai?

However, as time passed, Donglai Ge's trip to China would end, and the New Year was about to come. Originally, everyone thought that this year's topic about Donglai Ge would end in this hot discussion, and another topic brought Donglai Ge to the headlines of major media pages.

The richest young man of the year was born!

According to the latest news, Li Donglai just became the richest young man in Hollywood of the year released by People magazine in 2009. Li Donglai was on the list for the first time in the Forbes Global 100 Superstars Ranking, and ranked third.

The number one is also the film and television celebrity Angelina. The goddess attracted the attention of many tabloids and the recognition of Oscars. But this year it relies on her serious efforts to top the list. The recent film "Wanted Man" proves Angelina's action film strength. The box office of the film has reached 340 million US dollars. Her next film is "Agent Sauter". She plays the role of Cia agent who is accused of being a spy.

Ranked second is the famous TV host Oprah Winfrey. Although the main content of this self-achieving billionaire and the ratings of the interview program are declining, her momentum of making money remains unabated. It is blooming in many aspects and making money is lenient.

Li Donglai has a total global box office of more than 2 billion yuan with three top movies this year. There are also endorsements for luxury goods such as Mercedes-Benz, Adidas, Armani, and famous watches. Coca-Cola also issued a new sixth-year speech contract worth 30 million US dollars. There are also many endorsements from various places. Conservatively estimated that his personal income this year will exceed 400 million US dollars after tax.

Of course, this is not the unfinished box office of "Inception", which is continuing to be released in a hot spot.
