Chapter 654 Anger(1/2)
I can control everyone's emotions here, but I can't control my own destiny in reality. Alas, I'm in a bad mood today. I'm sorry. I will soon get rid of the influence of reality and adjust my state and emotions. !

This somewhat hasty and crude press conference ended quickly.∈↗Dingfeng Novel,..o
However, Barber's appearance still shocked the reporters who came. Even after the press conference, they had not even returned to their respective newspaper offices, and they had already hurriedly conveyed the news of Barber's joining Cable Films over the phone. I told the newspaper first.
After the press conference, Yang Ming and Barber returned to the office. Yang Ming noticed that although reporters pestered Barber with several pointed questions at the press conference, they did not cause Barber any discomfort.
But think about it, Barber has been in charge of a giant in Hollywood for so many years, so he is naturally able to deal with these media reporters with ease.
Back in the office, Yang Ming took the coffee made by the staff and said to Barber with a smile: "This press conference may be a bit crude and makes you feel wronged, but it won't take long. I believe there will be a formal press conference." Press conference!”
Barber chuckled slightly when he heard this and seemed indifferent. Perhaps today's induction press conference was the simplest press conference he had ever held, but he didn't take it to heart.
When he first joined Pan American Entertainment, Pan American Entertainment was not as good as Connection Line!
However, when he heard Yang Ming's words, his expression changed and he asked seriously: "Oh? Is this the press conference of "2012"?"
"Not bad!" Yang Ming didn't expect that Barber's thinking was so sharp, and he guessed the following plan just from his own words. However, he thought that if the other party didn't have this strength, he wouldn't let him visit the thatched cottage like this.
After seeing Yang Ming's admission, Barber's eyes lit up and he immediately showed excitement. Then he looked thoughtful and began to consider all aspects of this blockbuster.
He has already read the script and storyboards of "2012", which are absolutely amazing. With Barbour's years of experience in Hollywood, he can say without hesitation that as long as the movie can achieve the effects of the script, , there is absolutely no problem in actually shooting it and sweeping Hollywood.
This is definitely a scream-inducing movie.
The most important thing is that this movie is his first movie after joining the Hollywood branch of the film company called Oriental DreamWorks. This is his first film after leaving Pan American Entertainment, and it is also the first film for Oriental DreamWorks. Hollywood's first film.
There must be no accidents.
Thinking of the discussion he had with Yang Ming not long ago, his expression immediately became solemn. He straightened his back and asked with a serious face: "I have also read the script of this movie. What are you going to do about the characters in this movie?" How many roles will actors from Hollywood be used for?"
Barber and Yang Ming have discussed this issue in great depth before.
Yang Ming is also very sure that the social background in the script cannot be modified, which means that there is no possibility of modifying the male and female characters, as well as the national background.
It is impossible for him to modify the script to suit the taste of the American audience just because it is the first time for Oriental DreamWorks to set foot in Hollywood, and even change the background to the United States. This is contrary to Yang Ming's original intention. .
In fact, if it was really a modification, Yang Ming would be more relaxed. He could take the original version of the previous life and shoot it without changing a word.
But he couldn't do that.
The male and female lead has been confirmed to be played by Yang Ming's senior brother Yang Chaowei and his lover Zhou Meiling, a husband-and-wife team that won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor and Best Actress.
The protagonist in the script is the ex-husband of the heroine. He was once a writer, but because his books were not popular, he became a driver for a big boss. He is a fanatical and persistent person, with a bit of idealism, and feels that he can control the situation. When disaster strikes,
, actively try to save his two children and ex-wife.
After arriving in Tibet, the heroine kept asking the locals for help and tried her best to get her two children out of danger first, showing her mother's great love.
There is no doubt that Yang Ming set these two characters as Chinese in this life.
Since the social background is set in China, the more prominent Chinese president in the script and the more prominent vice president must also be Chinese.
As a result, there are only a handful of roles that can attract big-name Hollywood stars.
Either he is the second male lead, the young scientist who first discovered the crisis. In the script, he also told the president the news and actively helped countries around the world complete their escape plans.
Except for the second male lead, who is quite impressive, the other roles only have a few lines at most. If big-name Hollywood stars are invited to play other roles, they will probably just be guest appearances.
Yang Ming thought about it and concluded that the role of the male protagonist, a boss who looked like a nouveau riche, and sacrificed himself in order to keep his child alive, was worthy of inviting a big-name Hollywood star to play the role.
As for other roles, he thought about it and felt that there was no need to waste energy and time on inviting big-name Hollywood stars to join the crew.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming told Barber what he meant.
Two big-name stars with considerable box office market share in Hollywood, one is young and the other is slightly older, respectively playing the role of the second male scientist in the play, and the other playing the role of the boss's father.
That's it, there's no need to spend more time on anything else.
At that time, everything will still have to rely on the strength of the film itself to speak for itself, but Yang Ming is very confident about this.
After hearing Yang Ming's arrangement, Barber thought for a moment and nodded to show that he understood what Yang Ming meant.
Today is the date when Barber and Oriental DreamWorks officially signed the contract. Originally, according to Yang Ming's intention, today he was just taking Barber to get to know the senior executives of the United Film Company to facilitate future work.
But he didn't expect that when Barber learned about his plan, he quickly got into work mode and immediately asked Smith to convene a meeting with the company's senior management to start arranging various tasks.
Even Yang Ming seemed to have become a redundant person.
In response to this, he could only smile bitterly, but he soon felt relieved. A successful person does not rely on luck or luck.
He could only give up the idea of rushing back to China, and cooperated with Barber to help the other party start to control the entire Online Film Company, oh, that was wrong, the Hollywood branch of Oriental DreamWorks!
————
Linkline was acquired by Chinese film company Oriental DreamWorks.
Barber joins Oriental DreamWorks!
When these two pieces of news were reported back to their own media by reporters attending the press conference, they immediately caused an uproar in Hollywood.
At the same time, after the Chinese entertainment circle on the other side of the ocean got the news, everyone was dumbfounded and unbelievable. They really didn't expect that Oriental DreamWorks would have such courage. They went to Hollywood to not only acquire a film company, but also
The former general manager of Pan American Entertainment, one of the six major Hollywood giants, was poached by Barber.
The Chinese entertainment industry was so shocked, not to mention Hollywood, where the incident originated.
When these two news spread throughout Hollywood, both the film company and the directors and actors were all in disbelief.
The director and actors were fine. They were surprised at best, and some were even delighted. With Oriental DreamWorks joining Hollywood, their opportunities might be even greater in the future.
After all, they have no direct interest in the film company that has been renamed Oriental DreamWorks.
But the experience of Hollywood movie companies is not so wonderful.
There is even a feeling in their hearts that the wolf is coming.
If it is just the news that Connection Line was taken over by Oriental DreamWorks, it is not a big deal. Several film companies in the Chinese entertainment industry have also set up branches here. It is not that China Film Company has acquired Hollywood and gone bankrupt in the past.
Film company.
But the purpose of these Chinese film companies setting foot in Hollywood is just to facilitate the distribution of their films in the United States.
Never before has Oriental DreamWorks made such a big noise.
And the current attitude of Oriental DreamWorks to enter Hollywood does not seem to be just for the convenience of film distribution. If it is just for film distribution, is it necessary to invite Barbour?
You must know that Barber is known as the signature figure of Hollywood's golden hand. Moreover, this person has been in charge of a Hollywood giant for decades, and his connections and connections in Hollywood are beyond ordinary people's comparison.
Many people even lost their momentum when they saw Barber.
What exactly does China’s Oriental DreamWorks want to do?
What is Barber thinking? What is the purpose of joining a third-rate film company acquired by China?
"Breaking news: Former Pan American Entertainment general manager Barber joins Cineline Films, which was acquired by China Oriental DreamWorks, with a high profile!"
"Barber made bold statements at the press conference that he would personally defeat Pan American Entertainment, the company he once worked for. He wanted to let Pan American Entertainment know that abandoning him was definitely a mistake!"
"We will wait and see what consequences this will bring when Chinese film geniuses hold hands with Hollywood's gold medals!"
...
The six media outlets that came to attend the press conference reported these two pieces of news with great intensity and space. Because at that time they looked down upon the status of Cable Film Company in Hollywood, they were the only media outlets that attended the press conference at that time.
So much so that there were only six media outlets that initially reported these two pieces of news, which was so bad that everyone in Hollywood thought that these two pieces of news were simply fake news.
After all, this sounds like a fantasy.
However, soon after verification from many parties, many American media even learned from the employees of Linkline that Barber had indeed not only joined Oriental DreamWorks, but had also started working. The two pieces of news immediately became crazy.
The speed spread throughout Hollywood.
Even many people in the United States have expressed great interest in this sudden and unusual entertainment news and have maintained a very high level of concern.
After the news was confirmed, all the film companies in Hollywood began to face this sudden film company seriously after going through incredible experiences.
If it were just that Oriental DreamWorks acquired Syndicate Film Company, Hollywood film companies would not pay attention, or even look at Oriental DreamWorks.
There is no way, there are too many film companies in Hollywood. Film companies are established every day, and some film companies close down and go bankrupt.
The online film company acquired by Oriental DreamWorks is just one of them.
But the addition of Barber gave everyone a slightly different feeling.
Barber's abilities and glorious experience no longer need to be elaborated in more words. His joining Oriental DreamWorks has definitely had a tsunami-level impact on most ordinary film companies in Hollywood.
They seem to have seen the rise of this Oriental Dream Factory in Hollywood, and then began to devour their film market.
After hearing the news of the acquisition, Hollywood giants had different reactions.
Some watched with indifference, while others were furious.
Those giants who looked on with cold eyes did not take Barber's joining Oriental DreamWorks too seriously. In their eyes, Barber would only put pressure on them if he joined other giants. But now, Barber unexpectedly joins.
A third-rate film company was acquired by China Film Company. The impact of this was not worth mentioning to them.
In addition to Pan American Entertainment, which unexpectedly kicked Barber out, there was also a giant that was furious and was the same one who had secretly extended an invitation to Barber.
The giant that originally invited Barber really didn't expect that Barber would choose to reject them. Moreover, even if they chose other film companies, it would not be as they expected. Either other giants of the same status or Hollywood would stand in the way.
film companies.
