America's Road to Fame

Chapter 100 It's a little cold outside

Kieger Bint heard the words, looked around a few people, and said to director Todd: "Your project, let me think about it again."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

"Mr. Binter..."

Todd Phillips said anxiously when he saw Kig Bint leave just like that.

Seeing that he didn't care about him anymore, he said to Roger angrily: "Mr. Dre, you are sabotaging it on purpose!"

"Todd, as I said, you should invest in us, that sissy is unreliable." Roger said, patting director Todd on the shoulder.

What's interesting is that Todd Phillips is more than 1.8 meters tall, but Roger patted him on the shoulder, and it seemed that there was no sense of disobedience at all.

"But that's Legendary Pictures, and their production and distribution capabilities are second only to the six major companies in Hollywood." Todd Phillips still said a little angrily.

"Relax, buddy, there's nothing wrong with it, we're not bad." Roger gave Chen William a look as he spoke, signaling him to persuade him.

"Mr. Todd, hello, I'm William Chen. My future film company can definitely invest in your film."

"I know you, Mr. William, but although your company is famous, to be honest, its strength is far worse than that of Legendary Pictures."

That is to say, Todd Phillips still has the idea that they will invest if it is really impossible, so he speaks more tactfully.

Otherwise, he might say it directly: Your company's reputation is all based on losses. This project is handed over to Future Pictures, and there is no possibility of success at all.

"I admit that in terms of strength, it is still not as good as Legendary Pictures. But at the same time, this also means that we will pay more attention to your project, doesn't it?"

Chen William said unhurriedly: "Legendary Pictures is no longer what it used to be. They now pay more attention to big productions. Even if they will accept your project, they may not pay much attention to it. On the contrary, they are not as good as us in terms of resources invested. so many."

"Really? Mr. William. You need to know about this movie. I have already found someone to write the scripts of the first two movies. According to the plot, I plan to start shooting the two movies together, which requires more than a few dollars. It’s as simple as tens of millions of dollars, do you think you can afford such a high investment?”

"Of course there is no problem. As long as we are optimistic about this project, in fact, if the two films are often shot together, it will save more money than shooting separately."

Knowing the performance of this movie in his previous life, William Chen is more supportive of Todd Phillips' idea that the two movies will start shooting at the same time.

As he said, the two films will be filmed at the same time. Although the one-time investment is more, relatively speaking, the cost of shooting each film will be lower.

Moreover, there is no need to invest in a one-time investment at all. It is enough to start the project with a part of the funds first, and then add more later. Therefore, there is no pressure on Chen William at all.

"As for distribution, Mr. William, as far as I know, your future film industry does not have distribution channels."

Hearing that Todd Phillips has been questioning his future film business, William Chen patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said:

"Phillips, you'd better figure out one thing now. That is, we are the most promising company for your project, but it doesn't mean we have to get this project."

"Just like what you said about distribution, do Legendary Pictures have distribution capabilities? They also signed a distribution contract with Warner."

No matter how successful "The Hangover" is, it's just a small production. Even if he would rather give up this project, it's impossible for him to let the other party just manipulate him so casually.

"We have already expressed our sincerity. I believe that you have searched all over those big companies for this project, and you know their attitude. Should we finalize the cooperation now, or come back to me when we have nowhere to go? I believe you are a wise man." People know how to choose."

After William Chen finished speaking, Todd Phillips fell silent for a moment.

At this time, Rick next to him suddenly said: "Mr. Phillips, I am Rick Walton. I was also discussing with Mr. William just now about participating in his film investment, so I hope your project can become the beginning of our cooperation."

Todd Phillips noticed Rick's extraordinary demeanor, coupled with his familiar surname, couldn't help but make his expression change.

In the end, after thinking about it, he said: "I want the final editing rights of the movie."

William Chen glanced at Rick, nodded to Todd Phillips, and said, "No problem, these can all be written in the agreement."

He shook hands from Todd Phillips and said with a smile: "Congratulations on our cooperation, Mr. Phillips, from now on our goal is the same, and that is to hope that this movie will be a success."

Several people continued to talk about the cooperation of this film for a while, and finally William Chen said that after the agreement was signed, Todd Phillips could start looking for actors and prepare to shoot.

After Phillips left satisfied, Chen William said to Rick Walton: "Rick, do you really decide to participate in the investment of this movie?"

"Of course, as I said, I trust your vision, William."

"I didn't expect to hear such words so soon." William Chen and Rick clinked glasses and said with a smile: "By the way, Roger, how about you? Don't you want to participate?"

"I'm actually more interested in playing a certain role in it." Roger said with his eyes brightened.

"Forget it, I'm enough to be the actor who gives Uncle John a headache. I don't want him to call me to complain about it."

William Chan had previously pledged $1 million for Todd Phillips' two simultaneous "Hangover" films.

It was finally agreed that William Chen was responsible for $6000 million of it, Rick Walton invested $3500 million, and Roger Del Rey also took out $500 million to try it out.

After these things were finalized, Roger drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said to Rick Walton with a smile:

"It's carnival time now, let's go Rick, I'll introduce you to some hot stars, as for you, William, I don't think I need to worry about this kind of thing."

William Chen shook his head, watched the two leave shoulder to shoulder, and walked towards the hot beauties by the pool.

He raised his hand to check the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and when he was considering whether to leave, he heard someone talking to him.

"I didn't expect it was really you, William, do you remember me?"

William Chen looked at the tall blond beauty in a long black dress walking in front of him, and remembered the previous night in The Boom Boom Room:
"Hello, Miss Ball, we meet again."

"Yes, William, after so long, I even thought you lost your mobile phone."

William Chen knew that what Bar Refaeli said was that she had stored her number in William Chen's mobile phone, but she didn't wait for William Chen's call.

"Sorry, I've been really busy these days."

"So do you have time today?"

"Yes, I just finished talking about a cooperation, and now it's finally easy. How about you? Bar, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see if there are any opportunities. You know that our models are young people, so I hope to have more choices."

William Chen knows that there are indeed many supermodels who hope to develop into Hollywood when they are most famous.But in fact, there are not many people who really do this and succeed.

"It's not easy, isn't it?" Bar Refaeli took a sip of the wine glass, and put his gaze on William Chen's face: "If I have a better goal now."

oh?Is this actively teasing me?

At this time, they were at the chairs not far from the swimming pool in the yard, and the brightness of the lights was just right, especially the shadow effect, which made Ba'er's career line even more profound.

"It's a bit cold outside, can we go in and find a place to sit?"

Ba'er's eyes fluttered, wondering if it was because of the alcohol, the slight bewilderment was tinged with a hint of coquettishness.

Well, William Chen did feel the breeze, but at this moment, he entered the villa with her without saying a word.

"Go upstairs."

Ba'er held William Chen's arm and walked up the stairs.The high heels she was wearing were probably at least ten centimeters tall, so it was no wonder that she had to be careful when going up the stairs.
