Director who specializes in American comics

That night, Wang Xuanyuan met with JJ Abrams and David Ellison in the editing studio where Wang Xuanyuan temporarily rented. The three casually ordered a table of takeout, first filling their stomachs, and then , under the strong request of David Ellison, Wang Xuanyuan took out the edited film of "Fast and Furious: Paranormal Activity" and held it carefully.

This is the original film, the edited master film that has not been extensively developed.

The editing studio has a special screening room with a screen size of about 200 inches and complete sound and projection equipment.

After everything was ready, Wang Xuanyuan acted as a temporary projectionist, turned off the lights and started the screening.

The three of them watched quietly on their seats. This wonderful and orderly scene caught the eyes of JJ and David Ellison, and the two of them started watching carefully in an instant.

During the screening, none of the three people went to the bathroom. They all stared at the screen without blinking.

When the main part of the film was played, David Ellison jumped up and hugged Wang Xuanyuan who was still sitting on the chair. David Ellison said excitedly: "Wang, what you shot is really good." Great, I think you made it much better than last time. The story, the pictures, the acting skills of the actors, all put together, I swear, this film will definitely be a big hit, even better than our film last year. It’s good.”

After he finished speaking, he turned to JJ and said, "JJ, I'm right, I'll just say it. Wang must be an excellent director and an excellent creator."

JJ smiled and nodded yes, and gave Wang Xuanyuan a big hug.

Wang Xuanyuan responded politely: "This is all the credit of everyone, David, JJ, all of this is the credit of the two of you. When my production cost was seriously overrun, you were able to raise funds to make this film possible." After the film was made, you were the ones who worked the hardest."

David Ellison waved his hand indifferently and said: "Wang, these are all trivial matters. Let me tell you, I like you and I will support you to the end. Damn it, it's all Larry's fault. Where did I go?" He asked for help, and he actually said that he wanted me to join Oracle. I had no interest in making software or writing code. I like making phone calls. Even if he didn't help me, I could still find money."

After saying that, he snorted deliberately, which also caused Wang Xuanyuan and JJ to burst into laughter.

The situation is like this. During the filming of Wang Xuanyuan, the production cost was seriously overrun. The original budget was 500 million, but in the end all the money was spent, and only half of the filming was completed.

David Ellison once went to his father, Larry Ellison, to ask him to sponsor his son's project, but Larry did not agree. Later, after many twists and turns, JJ and David. Moretz persuaded him to invest 400 million on the condition that the global distribution rights of the film would be handed over to Universal. In North America, Universal would assist JJ's Bad Robot Company and David Ellison's Skydance Company. issued.

What Wang Xuanyuan is concerned about is the filming itself, and he is not too concerned about other things now. These things are originally the producer's business.

Wang Xuanyuan also knew that JJ and David Ellison actually took a big risk this time, almost putting their entire family fortune on the line. In order to persuade Neil from Universal to invest, they gave up a lot of rights. , and even used their own two production companies as guarantees. If the film fails, then the two of them will compensate Universal for the losses.

In fact, the two of them are also very helpless. Their qualifications are still too young. JJ Abrams has just produced a few small TV series for a few small TV stations, while David Ellison belongs to the second generation of rich people. , but he is also a newbie in the film industry. Wang Xuanyuan's first film "Salem" is also the first film he produced and distributed.

It can be said that the two of them have placed their treasure on Wang Xuanyuan, and furthermore, it is David Ellison who trusts JJ Abrams. This is a desperate survival battle between the two of them. , because JJ feels that Wang Xuanyuan must be a wizard, a movie wizard.

After a chat, the three of them started drinking. It was purely because a task had been completed and the three of them were very happy, so they opened up and started drinking.

After changing glasses, David Ellison raised his beer bottle with hazy eyes and said, "Wang, you know, that old man in my family does everything, but he doesn't support me in movies or anything I do. Movie, he won’t let me make a movie, so I just want to show it to him. Man, I really depend on you this time. The movie will be a hit, and we will be fine. You will have bigger projects, and I want them too. Show off to my old man."

After finishing speaking, David Ellison took JJ's shoulder and said, "J, I believe in your vision. I believe we will definitely sell well."

He took Wang Xuanyuan's arm again and said: "Come on, Wang, let's open another bottle. In a few days we will discuss the next step with the guys from Universal. We want to open their eyes to what an action thriller movie is." .”

Wang Xuanyuan also drank a lot, but he was a systematic person. Last year, he gained the ability to stay drunk for a thousand cups, so even though he drank a lot, he was not drunk at all.

He was grateful to these two people from the bottom of his heart, for their help, and for JJ's talent and talent.

There were already a lot of empty wine bottles on the floor, and the three of them were asleep on the sofa.
