Chapter 772 Huaxia Theater (2/3)
Carmichael acted quickly and arranged for personnel to come to China overnight. The next morning, Simmons brought the company's senior personnel to visit Yang Ming.
Yang Ming immediately arranged for them to watch the edited film of "Shaolin Temple" together. During the viewing process, several senior executives at Carmichael were constantly amazed by the beautiful scenes and incredible martial arts design shots in the film.
stay.
Compared with Hollywood blockbusters, which are slow-moving and purely rely on muscular men to decorate action scenes, the various martial arts design scenes in "Shaolin Temple" are really amazing.
Eighteen kinds of weapons are presented one by one, and the elegant and unrestrained fighting is absolutely pleasing to the eye.
Compared with the martial arts scenes in "Shaolin Temple", the action scenes in most previous Hollywood movies are simply rubbish.
What reassures Yang Ming the most is that these Carmike executives did not show the unique 'illogical' comments made by foreigners in their previous lives.
This made him feel a lot more relaxed. It seemed that the influence of Chinese culture in the world in this world was much stronger than in previous lives.
After several Carmike executives watched the sample film of "Shaolin Temple", they said goodbye to Yang Ming and left. They returned to the hotel to get in touch with the U.S. headquarters and held a conference call. That afternoon, Simmons represented Carmike.
The theater chain told Yang Ming that the company officially agreed to cooperate with Oriental DreamWorks this time.
Try to release it on 500 screens, and then decide whether to increase or decrease the number of screens based on the box office performance of the week.
Of course, Oriental DreamWorks will also invest at least 5 million yuan in promotional expenses in the United States as Yang Ming promised before.
The signing of the contract between the two parties was very fast. Only two days later, Liu Xinsheng signed a cooperation agreement with the executives of Carmichael Cinemas on behalf of Oriental DreamWorks.
As soon as the agreement was signed, Simmons and several company executives immediately returned to the United States. They had to start preparing for the release of "Shaolin Temple". At the same time, Yang Ming wanted to add Chinese subtitles to the film.
Then we have to ask Barbour to make a publicity plan.
As for why English dubbing is not used, Yang Ming also thought of the Hollywood blockbusters in the previous life that then crazily flooded into the domestic film market. There were very few dubbing films, and they basically just had Chinese subtitles. Anyway, domestic audiences watched them with gusto.
Nowadays, whether it is China or the United States, movies from both sides are released in the other country's territory. Some are dubbed and some are not dubbed, but most of them are not dubbed. They only need subtitles translated into their respective native languages.
Therefore, Yang Ming also followed the trend and got several movies released in the United States, all of which had English subtitles and no dubbing.
The promotion of "Shaolin Temple" in the United States will not officially start until several days of preparation, but in China and East Asia, Oriental DreamWorks has begun to officially launch its efforts. The streets, alleys, and online media are all about "Shaolin Temple".
》release advertising.
Coupled with Oriental DreamWorks' outstanding performance at the Golden Dragon Awards, it was full of limelight. Therefore, after the release plan of "Shaolin Temple" was announced, although the cast was not very attractive, it still left a deep impression on countless fans.
impression.
Yang Ming has been dealing with various things in the company these days, and is preparing to go to the United States to attend the Academy Awards ceremony in a few days.
There is no way. As one of the giants of Hollywood, Barber's yearning for the Academy Award is too strong.
Moreover, "2012" has also received several award nominations. Yang Ming must be present. After all, he acquired a film company in Hollywood and renamed it Oriental DreamWorks. He is also considered a member of Hollywood. This time, he must be present in person.
.
Just when Yang Ming was about to leave for the United States, Manager Cao of Redwood Fund gave him a call.
"Yang Ming, Meituan.com's listing plan will start in a few days. When will you come and take a look?" Manager Cao's excited voice came over the phone.
"Uh!" Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this. Thinking about the time, he must be in the United States by then, and he will definitely not be able to catch up. Besides, he is not proficient in finance at all, and then said: "Maybe I won't be able to go. I should be in the United States by then.
Attend the Academy Awards.”
Meituan.com is not his goal, he just wants to make a lot of money through the website and raise more funds for his entertainment plan.
So, it really doesn't matter whether he goes or not.
"Okay, then just wait for the good news." Manager Cao also knew that Yang Mingzhi was not here, so he did not persuade Yang Ming again.
After Yang Ming hung up the phone, he started thinking about the funds he could raise after Meituan.com went public.
It is estimated that in a few days, he will give up part of his Meituan shares in accordance with the agreement, and the funds raised through the company's listing will not be used until a certain period of time.
However, he has already reached an agreement with Hongmu Fund. At least if Meituan.com is successfully listed, Hongmu Fund will provide him with loans based on market value.
Even though he made hundreds of millions with "2012", there are too many places where he needs to spend money.
The company has started shooting many movies, which means the money is flowing like water, and with the plans for TV series, the budget will definitely not be small.
In fact, if he had walked slower, he would not have run out of funds at all. It's just that the plan in Yang Ming's mind was too huge.
"Time has not waited for me!" Yang Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This time when he goes to the United States, he still has another plan waiting for him to start. He doesn't know what the result will be when the time comes. Once it succeeds, he will spend money like water.
United States, California.
Yang Ming flew directly from China to Los Angeles.
Hollywood is not that far from Los Angeles.
When he arrived in Los Angeles, he called Barber and learned that he was no longer in Los Angeles, so he went shopping alone.
Hollywood was originally just a small town, a place with mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery. Then some small companies and independent producers came in to escape the control of patent companies, and gradually formed a film center.
After decades of development, the small village on the outskirts of Los Angeles eventually became a huge movie city, and Hollywood became synonymous with American movies.
The Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood, just like its previous life, is a theater with a strong Chinese classical architectural style in the center of Hollywood.
This year's Academy Awards will be held at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
Yang Ming stood at the door of this world-famous theater, filled with emotions.
The power of China has made the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood in this world more magnificent than in its previous life. He learned that during the construction process, it also received certain support from the Chinese government.
