Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 181 It's Easier Than You Think
"Brokerage companies have such strict requirements." Tang Huan made a gesture, "From the perspective of Gao Meng Film Company, they have to spend a certain amount of resources to make your daughter a star. One can imagine the risk. If the cash cow that has been cultivated with great difficulty runs away, they will cry to someone."

Hearing Tang Huan's funny talk, everyone laughed. Sophie Marceau pursed her lips and muttered, "But it feels very uncomfortable, like signing a contract of sale."

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, and said to himself that it was such a contract of selling himself, and it didn't mean that he didn't tie you up, so he ran away in the end.

In the original time and space in 1984, Andrzej uawski, a 44-year-old Polish director known for his alternative style, invited Sophie Marceau to prepare for the film "Wild Love", and Sophie Marceau Also willing to accept.

Just from the name of this movie, one can guess the character's style, which is quite different from Sophie Marceau's deeply rooted fresh, sweet and passionate girl image.

Gaumont Company naturally did not want this cash cow to die due to premature transformation, so it used 100 million francs liquidated damages and public opinion attacks to put pressure on it.

For this reason, Sophie Marceau traveled all over Paris, tried every means to raise about 100 million francs, and finally successfully terminated the contract as she wished.Then began the 16 years of work and partner years with that director.The two collaborated in four films: "Wild Love", "My Night is More Beautiful than Your Day", "Blue Movement" and "Lust_Photography", which established her status as a powerful movie star.

It can be said that after Sophie Marceau boldly starred in "Wild Love", she completely ended her "image of a beautiful woman", changing from "French Kiss" to "French Rose", becoming a "sexy goddess".

In Tang Huan's view, Sophie Marceau's choice may not be the so-called rebellion or even the second grade. She was already 18 years old at the time. For child stars, this age group is an embarrassing stage, and the future must be considered. The direction is up.

For example, Jodie Foster and Brooke Shields suspended their careers and chose to go to university for further studies to avoid the risks of transition.

What the film company considers is how much money it can make, and what the audience cares about is their own feelings, while Sophie Marceau has to plan for her own future as soon as possible. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, and each has a different position.

As for Sophie Marceau's precocious thinking, Tang Huan can now see a clue. After all, the family breakup caused by the divorce of her parents can not be underestimated. She is also a true character in "First Contact" It's a show.

Tang Huanyun's indifferent attitude made Sophie Marceau think that the other party didn't believe what she said, so she took out the contract from her bag and handed it to him.

"This is a commercial secret between you and Gaomeng Company. If I read it, it's not very good." Tang Huan waved his hand hypocritically.

"It doesn't matter, the terms of the advertising endorsement contract are very generous, I believe you are noble businessmen." Sophie Marceau said clearly.

"Okay then, let me see what kind of conditions make you so afraid." Tang Huan flipped through them pretendingly.

In fact, these overlord clauses are all the same, and the contract of sale that TVB asked its artists to sign has similar content, so there is nothing new about it.

"I'm a director of Hollywood United Artists. Based on my understanding of this industry, for newcomers, this kind of contract is similar, unless you don't plan to enter this industry from the beginning." Tang Huan shrugged and said The document was handed back.

"Let me see what's written." Christina took a look at it curiously, and then said with emotion: "Compared with these rules and regulations, my kindness to Graf is simply the heart of an angel."

"Mr. Tang, why did you choose me as a product endorsement?" Sophie Marceau asked curiously.

"I feel that your image is very suitable. Of course, I also think that you have the potential to become a star. Maybe after filming this commercial, I will find that I have made money." Tang Huan laughed.

"You just said that you are the director of Hollywood United Artists, so your ideas must be very professional, and you are more optimistic about me, so why don't you sign me. Judging from that advertising contract, you must Much more merciful than Gaumont." Sophie Marceau spoke calmly and clearly.

Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help showing a look of surprise in his eyes. Sophie Marceau's little head is not simple. It is much more courageous than the mother who only knows the retail clerk who is humbly smiling aside. This is a newborn Is the calf not afraid of the tiger?
"You're right, but the competition in Hollywood is very fierce. Foreign actors often go to the United States after they have achieved a little success locally." Tang Huan showed an intriguing smile on his face, "That's why I didn't move. Get over that thought."

Sophie Marceau let out a disappointment, and hung her head sullenly.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, turned to Christina and said, "Why don't you sign this little girl, anyway, you already have Graf, one sheep is free, and two sheep are also free, right?"

"That's fine, as long as she's willing." Christina nodded nonchalantly, "Being an agent should be quite interesting."

"If you want, we will sign a friendly brokerage contract." At this point, Tang Huan changed the subject, "However, your career should still be based on your hometown. I will visit Gaomeng sometime The management of the company, if possible, take that movie."

"Really? That's great." Sophie Marceau, who was depressed and planning to accept her fate, was overjoyed after hearing this turning point, and her pretty face turned into a flower with a smile.

Naturally, Tang Huan did not lie. As a director of United Artists, he soon met Nicolas Seydoux, the president of Gaumont Company.

From a historical point of view, Gaumont is the first and oldest film company in the world, while Universal and Paramount were not established until 1912.

At first, Gaumont’s main competitor was Pathé Frères, the French EMI company. The two companies dominated the European film industry. The May Company syndicated the film.

The Gaumont film library is mainly French works, of course there are some exceptions, such as Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element" in 1997 in the original time and space.

Nicolas Sedoux is a media tycoon and multi-millionaire. He took office in 1975 and owns 60% of the shares and 70% of the voting rights. He is the absolute No. 1 in Gaumont. He warmly received the guests who came with various auras. Tang Huan.

Don't look at the various criticisms between the French film industry and Hollywood, but as an established company that has experienced ups and downs and is still standing, Gaumont is definitely aiming at the pursuit of profit, and will naturally not refuse the goodwill released by Hollywood companies.

And Tang Huan is also sincerely holding the purpose of communication. In the previous life, the award-winning Chinese-language films opened up the situation from Europe, so naturally he has to learn from it.

As for the matter of Sophie Marceau, a newcomer, it is enough to mention it casually, but it is easier to do than thought.

However, Tang Huan also muttered that he should hurry up and brainwash Sophie Marceau, so as not to be kidnapped in the future and have no place to cry.
