Chapter 631 Three Elements

Yang Ming saw Barber's shock. He calmly took the coffee and took a sip. He thought to himself: It seems that this famous Hollywood manager finally discovered the difference in this movie shooting plan.

After a long time, Barber closed the plan, exhaled, and said slowly: "If I didn't know it myself, I would never believe that this film shooting plan was written by a Chinese!"

"I even suspect that this plan was written by a certain director in Hollywood!"

"I can guarantee that this was definitely created by me, word for word." Yang Ming put down his cup and said with a smile.

"Young man, if you just asked me to look at this proposal, then I can tell you without a doubt that this is a very successful film project!" Barber said expressionlessly.

Yang Ming flicked the table with his fingers a few times. He knew his purpose very well, and I believed that the other party had guessed it to some extent.

But he couldn't say it directly.

Because once you speak out and are rejected, there is no way out.

He doesn't think that he is like the protagonist in the movie, with a boost of bastard spirit, who can easily attract talents to vote by just saying a few words.

Barber's status in Hollywood is unquestionable!

Now that he has resigned, even if he wants to work again, his position will definitely be that of a Hollywood giant on the same level as Pan American Entertainment. Even if it is not as good as Pan American Entertainment, it will not be too different.

As for Oriental DreamWorks, it can be said that it is not a top-level film and television company, whether in China or the United States.

Even if Yang Ming's current layout in China already has the prototype of an entertainment empire, it is only a prototype. With Barber's qualifications, there are definitely ready-made entertainment empire positions for him to choose from.

Regarding inviting Barber to join, it can be said that Yang Ming has no confidence at all.

If in another three or four years, when Oriental DreamWorks has grown to a certain level, he may have some confidence, but it is estimated that by that time, the day lily will be cold.

Now he can only use other methods.

"Mr. Barber, as the times progress, movies are also undergoing rapid changes. Judging from the film market in the past few years, Hollywood is undoubtedly ahead of China!" Yang Ming said slowly.

"Yeah!" Barber nodded slightly.

This is a fact. It is an indisputable fact that Hollywood blockbusters are gradually eroding the share of the Chinese film market.

Once upon a time, he was one of them.

He is naturally very familiar with the Chinese film market.

"I have conducted very in-depth research on the successful model of Hollywood blockbusters, so now I have this film shooting plan!" Yang Ming said word for word, "Big-name stars, big production, big cost, tense and exciting plot!

"

"This is what I have summarized as the key to success in Hollywood blockbusters!"

Hearing Yang Ming's summary, Barber's pupils suddenly shrank. Looking at Yang Ming, his heart was filled with incomparable shock!

Barber really agreed with Yang Ming's point of view and summary, even he himself could not summarize the essence.

But he really didn't expect that this kind of direct and realistic summary would be said by a Chinese who has always been moderate and low-key, especially this Chinese, who is still a young and excessive young man!

At this time, Yang Ming saw Barber's shock, but he shook his head with an inexplicable smile and said, "There is nothing surprising about this. Any director with a keen eye in the entertainment industry can sum it up."

"But not everyone can write such an excellent plan!" Barber also shook his head and said in disbelief.

Obviously, he disagreed with Yang Ming's modesty.

In other words, Barber has a very good understanding of the personalities of Chinese filmmakers, and Yang Ming can be said to be an anomaly.

Yang Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said this. In the previous life, local movies were unable to fight back against the Hollywood blockbusters and were losing ground. However, in the domestic movie box office market, they made a lot of gold. It was so lively that all domestic movies were incomparable.

!

Seeing those box office figures, all Chinese filmmakers will feel despair.

It’s not like no one has summed up the success of Hollywood blockbusters, but there are only a few movies that actually do it!

There will always be people who say that the market should be exchanged for technology, but can film shooting have technology? Even if it is special effects, if you have money, will there be no company to do special effects for you?

Everything is an excuse.

This is like the automobile industry in the previous life, which traded the market for technology for decades. In the end, a few large state-owned enterprises made a lot of money, but in the end, they were not the best independent brand cars, but some that were always being criticized.

Suppressed private enterprises!

In fact, everything is a matter of attitude.

Didn't anyone know the success of Hollywood blockbusters in the previous life?

Didn't anyone in the previous life understand how a good movie is made?

Yang Ming doesn’t think so!

If a movie is really shot with great care, and various market research is done before shooting begins, as long as there are sufficient funds and careful shooting, the box office can be guaranteed.

But the film industry in my previous life was full of impetuosity.

Make whatever type of movies make money!

Comedies make money, so everyone rushes to make them; low-budget love movies make money, and then they hire some good-looking and popular stars to make love movies; and eventually, variety shows can also be made into movies to make money.

This is a strange phenomenon of local movies in the previous life!

The louder the slogan of a film company, the less like a toy the movie it produces will be!

The revitalization of domestic films and the unprecedented production of films are all just gimmicks. No one really puts their thoughts into the research of the film plot and the filming of the film.

Everyone has seen the shocking special effects shots in Hollywood blockbusters, but no one has noticed the ups and downs and exciting plots in Hollywood blockbusters!

Yang Ming couldn't help but feel a little irritable as he thought about all the things in his past life. Then he came back to his senses and thought of Barber opposite!

"Mr. Barber, if a movie is made according to this model, I want it to sell well all over the world. If there are no accidents, it should be fine, right?" Yang Ming said with a calm expression.

"Haha, there are never absolute things in this world, and there is no guarantee that there will be good results just because the plan is good!" Barber said with a smile and nonchalantly.

But for some reason, he felt tight in his heart, as if he could see what kind of opponent Hollywood would face in the future.

There was almost no sound in the cafe except the guests coming in and leaving. The chat and discussion between Yang Ming and Barber in the corner seemed so normal. The conversation and laughter between the two seemed as natural as old friends for many years.

People who don’t know, may think that the two of them are very happy friends!

Yang Ming used several more subtle hints one after another, trying to invite Barber to join, but Barber didn't accept the offer. This made Yang Ming couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but he still kept his face as big as possible.

of peace.

Before coming, he had been prepared for all kinds of difficulties.

However, after talking now, Yang Ming was no longer prepared to hide his purpose of coming. After some consideration, he slowly said: "I also know that my coming to the United States this time may be abrupt, but I have to come!"

"Mr. Barber, now that you have resigned from Pan American Entertainment, we at Oriental DreamWorks want to enter the international film market and lack a general manager with rich experience in the international film market, so I have taken the liberty to come!"

Finally hearing Yang Ming's straightforward words, Barber did not refuse immediately. This was not because he was tempted by Yang Ming's invitation.

On the contrary, he has no intention of going to Oriental DreamWorks at all, especially since this film company is a Chinese entertainment company. If it is a Hollywood film company, he may still consider it.

Of course, this is not because of the country's problems, but because Barber has always stayed in Hollywood. Even if he went to work for another film company, he never thought about leaving Hollywood.

The reason why he didn't refuse immediately.

Instead, during the conversation just now, Barber was attracted by what Yang Ming called the three major elements of blockbuster shooting.

1. Big-name stars; 2. Big investment and big production; 3. The plot is tense and exciting!

When Yang Ming summarized these three major elements of blockbuster shooting, Barber immediately recognized them. The two of them have the same concept for shooting blockbusters.

Moreover, he could clearly feel from the young man in front of him that he was a pure filmmaker, not a businessman with other purposes!

Barbour was disgusted by Coakley's use of Pan American Entertainment's influence to achieve some of his political demands.

The reason why he didn't refuse immediately was because he was thinking of a better way to refuse this young man.

Yang Ming seemed to have felt what Barber was thinking. He smiled and said seriously to Barber: "Mr. Barber, don't refuse yet. I think you should make a decision after investigation and reflection!"

"Yes, there may be a gap between Oriental DreamWorks and Pan American Entertainment where you were before, but the status of a film company is never measured by its long history and current status. It has always been measured by its ability to produce

The best-selling movies will do the talking!”

Barber was stunned. He didn't expect that under such circumstances, the young man in front of him still maintained such strong self-confidence!

This made him look more and more differently at Yang Ming, but it had nothing to do with the choice he made about his future.

"Then let's wait until I go back and think about it!" Barber said calmly.

When Yang Ming saw this, he also knew that this was a statement, but it had achieved his original intention, and Barber did not reject it immediately!

After all, with the current status of Oriental DreamWorks, there is nothing that attracts Barber.

No matter the company size or company resources, there is nothing special compared with those big Hollywood companies.

When he finally said goodbye and left, Yang Ming shook hands with Barber politely and said in a seductive tone: "I think if Mr. Barber can take a look at our company's information and my personal information after he goes back,

That would be even better, in fact Oriental DreamWorks is not as miserable as you think!"
