Chapter 630 Barber's Shock
In the Blue Bottle Cafe, all the guests kept quiet and did not make any loud noises. From time to time, they were looking down at books or using computers to look up information.
Even if there are guests chatting, their voices are kept very low.
In this environment, Yang Ming and Barber did not attract anyone else's attention at all.
Although he was an important boss in the entertainment industry in Hollywood, he only looks like a slightly overweight middle-aged man.
Although the other one is now a hot star in China and is even somewhat famous around the world, his young appearance, coupled with his Chinese identity, and being covered by a hat, do not attract anyone's attention at all.
Yang Ming and Barber sat in the corner. After looking at each other seriously for a while, they both made their own evaluations in their hearts.
Barber has always believed that the huge success of "One Goal" was purely due to luck. If it had not been a good time to catch up with the World Cup, this movie would have never achieved such an exaggerated box office, not even as good as "The Deep"
.
But he is not a person who is unwilling to face failure.
If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose!
He never falls twice in one place, that's his creed.
It's just that Coakley didn't give him this opportunity. Of course, Barbour knew in his heart that the congressman also regarded this failure as an excuse.
Seeing the young but handsome face in front of him, Barber had to change his view of Yang Ming in his heart.
Originally, he thought that Yang Ming was no different from those young people who became famous overnight in Hollywood, but now that he saw the real person, he felt that his opinion was a bit biased.
This is a very extraordinary young man.
Calm and composed, generous in manner and extraordinary in bearing, he doesn't look like a young man at all.
After a while, Yang Ming spoke first. After all, he was the one who invited Barber to come and meet.
"Mr. Barber, this is the shooting plan for my next movie. I am still preparing to release this movie around the world. You have worked in Hollywood for many years and are well-informed. Can you please help me see if this shooting plan is
Is that feasible?" Yang Ming took out a stack of documents and gently pushed them in front of Barber.
Barber glanced at the documents in front of him, and then looked up at Yang Ming. He was calm and composed, without any strange expression.
"Interesting!" Barber looked at the documents in front of him with a playful look, then looked at Yang Ming.
He had a vague guess about the purpose of the young man in front of him, but he couldn't be sure because it seemed to him that it was simply impossible.
But now Yang Ming's sudden move made him feel extra surprised!
Are you trying to be mysterious?
Barber is not a young man without any social experience. With so many jobs in Hollywood, what kind of things has he not seen?
Although he wanted to block the document in front of him very much, he was still a little curious in his heart.
Seeing Barber's expression, Yang Ming showed a charming smile, looked at Barber with clear eyes and said softly: "Mr. Barber, don't you want to know about a director whose film has exceeded the box office of "Deep Sea", what will happen next?
What are your film plans?"
"Huh!" Barber snorted slightly, knowing that the young man opposite was stimulating him.
If there's anyone who believes that "One Shot" beat "The Deep" at the box office, it's no one other than Barber.
At the beginning, he was planning to make "Deep Sea" the highlight of this summer's movie, but he didn't expect it to be ruined by the congressman. It can be said that he was most sad about the failure of "Deep Sea".
It is also the most unwilling.
I don't know why, when Barber heard Yang Ming's words, he felt unwilling but not curious. He was full of complicated thoughts, but then he smiled calmly. As a boss who once controlled the six major Hollywood film companies, how could he?
I'm still afraid of looking at a document.
When Barber thought of this, he confidently picked up the document in front of him and lowered his head to read it.
500 million Chinese coins!
When he saw this figure, he was a little shocked, but he quickly recovered. The production cost of more than 100 million yuan was not shocking to today's Hollywood.
Because there are several movies every year that can achieve this kind of shooting scale.
Barber directly glanced at the list of people in front of him. Those were not worthy of his attention at all. He turned directly to the plot page and started to read.
Global release?
That's not a simple thing.
As the head of the six major Hollywood giants, Barber knows the global film market very well. Although he is not a director or an actor, no one understands the differences in the film markets of various countries better than him.
For example, with the rise of Hollywood movies, they have gradually occupied the vast majority of the American movie market, but they are unable to cope with the East Asian movie market centered on Chinese culture.
For decades, there have been very few Hollywood films that have achieved high box office in the East Asian film market.
However, in recent years, Hollywood giants have gradually figured out the pulse of the East Asian film market, and have produced several blockbusters that meet the tastes and values of audiences in East Asian countries, and have achieved very good results.
On the contrary, the progress of Chinese films in the world film market is not satisfactory, and there are even signs of retreating instead of advancing.
Obviously, in the world's film market, Hollywood is already ahead of China in solving the cultural gap.
Barber originally looked at Yang Ming's shooting plan with an indifferent attitude. At most, it was just to satisfy his curiosity. What kind of director is it like to be able to shoot a film that overwhelms "Deep Sea"?
genius!
At first, he didn't pay much attention to the idea of a doomsday theme like "2012".
Hollywood has produced several movies with this theme, and the box office is OK.
Even when he saw the unprecedented special effects picture in the movie drawn by Yang Ming in the document, he was just surprised because this kind of picture could be produced with Hollywood technology.
However, the more he looked at the plot of "2012" in this plan, as well as the shooting concepts and ideas marked by Yang Ming, and the theme he wanted to express, the more he became more and more shocked!
Because Barber found that this movie called "2012", whether it was the plot or the shots, made him feel an unusually familiar feeling.
A filmmaking model that feels very familiar to him!
Suddenly, Barber seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at Yang Ming in shock. If he hadn't known that the film shooting plan in his hand was written by the young man in front of him, he would have thought that the film plan was written by the young man in front of him.
Written by a director who has been in Hollywood for many years and has countless successful experiences.
It can be said that this movie is simply a replica of a Hollywood blockbuster!
