Chapter 128 Small Town Changes
The United States is indeed a country where money is paramount, but it also has its lovely features, that is, if you go to an agent to handle your own business, it is very difficult to be greedy for ink. Many people attach great importance to their reputation.Therefore, An Yifei is very relieved to hand over the Blackstone Cinemas to a professional agency company. In addition to negotiating a good salary, they can be regarded as conscientious. Now, relying on the contacts of their company in the early years, they have actually begun to annex some Theaters in Canada.

The American company is not domestic. Even if An Yifei is the actual boss, he didn't even have a meal after the inspection, so he had to stay for more than an hour and leave after reading the report.

In fact, An Yifei likes such a simple employment relationship in his heart, which is direct and clear. Although "brothers settle accounts clearly" seems impersonal, this is the attitude that a capitalist society should have.

The small town of Vesseny is still under construction, but it does not affect the filming of the movie "Phantom of Speed", and An Yifei is catching up with the final stage of it.

After shaking hands with Gao Dejian and Wu Yusheng, who had already tanned their skin, An Yifei saw the beautiful Sophie Marceau, which made each other feel a little surprised, as if they were familiar with each other A long time friend, a hug gift came naturally.

There are quite a lot of Chinese here, and stimulated by An Yifei's luxurious wrap-up banquet, the crew finished all the scenes that were originally planned to be filmed for five to six days in two days.

Since in the United States, of course Western food is the mainstay, An Yifei chose a luxurious French restaurant to hold this luxurious wrap-up banquet, which also let the American cast and crew who worked with him for the first time know his generosity.

"Hey Bruce, it's okay that you're not in the second part of John Wicked, I'd like to ask you to do another movie in the series"

"Great, Boss, I am willing to serve you." The banquet was in the form of buffet Western food, and everyone could communicate freely. Of course, the movie An Yifei said to Bruce Willis was "Bitter Tiger" starring him. Veyron series.

"Bruce, I wrote this script myself, and it will make you popular, so hurry up and sign with DreamWorks, don't let yourself regret it"

"Okay, Boss, no problem. When will the movie start?"

"I will hand over the script to Helen in a few days, and you will be notified within ten days. If you want to go back to New York for vacation, you have to hurry up."

Bruce, who was about to answer, glanced at Sophie who was walking with a smile in his eyes, and got up and left to make way for the seat. The girl's plate was very delicate, with only two French snails, and her elegant posture did not look like a 16-year-old girl. girl.

After Bruce rushed away and rolled his eyes, the girl put the plate on the table in the same row as An Yifei, and sat down next to him, "Your Excellency, I'm out of action next time, how do you plan to arrange it?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he actually noticed the girl's intentional show of spring. You must know that it is summer now, and the thin evening dress can't stop the girl's enthusiasm.

In fact, An Yifei, who also likes to eat French snails, picked up one from her plate, and dealt with it from the eyes of her eyes, and at the same time told the story: "During World War II, in a small town in the south of France lived A beautiful woman..."

Following An Yifei's narration, not only Sophie Marceau, but many other people gathered around his table and listened quietly. Of course, the waiter would not let the protagonist of the banquet do it himself, and brought a large plate of French The snail came over and placed it on the table in front of An Yifei.

As the story of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" unfolded, even the director Wu Yusheng listened intently.But this story doesn't fit his style, so he can only admire in his heart: "As expected of the famous East Asian writer 'An Xin', this story seems plain, but it has great characteristics. It is no problem to win an award if it is done well."

After his story was finished, Sophie had become his servant, specially picking snail meat for him, but she was very happy, and when he finally finished, she asked: "Sir, is this story really interesting?" OK, what's your name?"

"You have a beautiful city of Cannes in the south of France, and there is an even more beautiful town called Saint-Tro near Cannes. The story I told happened there, and the name is "The Beautiful Legend of Saint-Tro" "

The people around applauded. Everyone understood that the heroine of this movie was a great test of Sophie's acting skills, who was only 16 years old, because the age span was a bit large, but it was indeed a movie with an excellent plot.There were even several assistant directors who wanted to recommend themselves to shoot this "beautiful" movie just by hearing the story.

After Sophie fell into thinking about the characters in the story, An Yifei walked to the opposite of Gao Dejian: "Old Gao, "Phantom of Speed" will definitely be successful, and the sequel will have to wait until next year. Do you want to be in the United States?" Continue filming or go to Hong Kong?"

"Brother Fei, please do one thing, can you bring the original brothers to the United States together, and let's make a modern urban martial arts movie together, just like "The Green Hornet""

Gao Dejian's words reminded An Yifei of "Black Man 2". The reason why this urban martial arts film starring his own family An Zhijie was successful was that he gave up the cumbersome martial arts scenes and almost all of them were one-hit kills. Approval from American audiences.

"Okay, I won't participate. It just so happens that this is also a film that Wu Yusheng is good at. You can cooperate with this film in the second half of the year. I will give you the script in a few days."

"Great, thank you Brother Fei", although he looked cool in front of other people, but in front of An Yifei, Gao Dejian still looked like the old brat, which made people smile.

……

After Xuelin's "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" successfully won a box office of nearly 1.5 million, she was also a little bit swayed by her reputation and income, but after reading many scripts, she was not satisfied, and she had been looking forward to An Yifei's arrival.

So, this night, An Yifei had tasted all the tenderness, and finally understood that the "field" is really hard to be plowed, but the "cow" is also very strong, plowing several times, cough, it's nothing Down.

Since "Tian" worked so hard, An Yifei couldn't help expressing it.Remembering that Brice Willis's new movie "Die Hard" lacked a leading actress, she decided on the role for Xuelin.

I have to say that girls in this era are innocent and don't think so much like after the flood of the Internet. The next day, An Yifei felt a little guilty when she saw Xuelin's happy look, and decided to find time to write a script for her alone.

Riding "Phantom of Speed" in the later stage of processing, An Yifei stayed in the town he bought. With the gradual completion of several buildings and ancillary facilities, DreamWorks, Blackstone Cinemas, Light & Magic, and Marvel They all moved to this beautiful little town.

Since it is called a small town, the area is certainly not that small. Apart from the wine estate, An Yifei also owns the property rights of several other farms, which are basically managed by agents sent by the Agricultural Association.

And An Yifei himself, of course, lives in a beautiful wine estate.The planting and management of the winery is also the responsibility of the agent, and he, like all bosses, is only responsible for life and enjoyment.

……

"Boss, you are amazing, you have written three high-quality scripts in just a few days"

Of course, Bruce and the others who didn't dare to urge An Yifei could only go to Helen. After getting the three scripts of "Die Hard", "Black Man" and "Beautiful Legend", she finally felt relieved. In one breath, I thought: "Boss, if you don't come again, I will really annoy them to death"

An Yifei understood what she was thinking, but these two beauties, Sophie and Xuelin, lived in the farm with her, which really made him think that "the king will not go to court early", and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He originally agreed to Bruce Ten days, but now half a month has passed.

But slowness has its advantages. These days, the media industry in the United States has all been concentrated in the small town of Vesseny, and will be managed and coordinated in a unified manner in the future.

The town not only built many buildings, but also built many simulated street scenes.An Yifei adopts the model of Deep Blue Film and Television City, and rents out all the shops and office buildings on the side of the road, which gradually increases the population here. In addition, it is not far from Hollywood, so it actually becomes a part of Hollywood.

The two films "Die Hard" and "Black Man" that started filming at the same time made full use of the geographical advantage, and they were basically filmed in the small town of Vesseny.

A few years later, as more and more movies were shot, there were more and more imitation scenes in the town. In the end, An Yifei also contributed a small farm of his own to build the imitation White House, because there are many movies that need to use this scene.

This put the town of Vesseny, which has actually become a film and television city, on the track of a conscience cycle: the more scenes, the more film crews it attracts.The more film crews there are, the better the local economy will be, and the population will continue to increase, bringing in a lot of talent, even if you want to find extras.

In order to show that it is a Chinese film, An Yifei deliberately participated in the premiere of "Phantom of Speed", which was also released at the same time as Hong Kong. For this reason, he invested millions of dollars in the early promotion , Not counting the facilities related to the small town of Vesseny, the final investment of this film has exceeded 500 million US dollars.

This statistic is nothing in Hollywood, but it is an astronomical figure for Hong Kong, which once again triggered a big discussion in the media. Some praised it, and many satirized An Yifei's fate this time.

However, the controversy turned into praise on the second day, because the box office in North America on the first day exceeded 3000 million U.S. dollars, and the box office in Hong Kong also had 600 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day. Whether it is in Hong Kong or the United States, there is no need to worry about the box office anymore.
