The United States is a very strange country. Here, Americans wear Chinese-made clothes, their feet are made of Indian shoes, their mouths eat corn grown in Mexico and Brazil, and they drive a lot of cars. It's the Toyota of Japan, the BMW of Germany ...

In short, the food, clothing and housing in this country are basically made by other countries. But they also have one thing, but they are local productions, and they are in charge of the world's cattle ears, that is ... movies!

Yes, the United States is the country with the largest film production and sales in the world. The total value of movies each year is more than US $ 0 billion. If you connect the tapes made by the United States into a movie a year, you can circle the globe!

The production of American movies is amazing, but there are also many losses, and many of them can throw black horses.

Low-cost, small production, but finally got an amazing box office, such a dark horse is not in the history of American cinema.

For example, the classic romantic film "The Ghost Story Is Not Over" shot in 1990. The total investment of this show is less than about 10 million, and most of the funds are used for the design of "ghost" special effects. However, the box office of this show is amazing. In just four months, the box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars in China. Immediately afterwards, in the Japanese harvest (100 million yuan), he defeated blockbusters such as "Comprehensive Memory" and "Back to the Future 3" in the United States and became the box office champion.

In the end, this low-cost "ghost movie" reached an astonishing 500 million US dollars worldwide! This is not to mention, the show has also won six Oscar nominations and four Golden Globe nominations, won the British Grand Prix, and n overseas awards, it has definitely reached the highest level of fame and fortune!

Since there is such a precedent, Yi Feiyang is very vowed to find a suitable film company to discuss with the other party the rights to buy and sell the movie "The Witch Blair". It is best to sell a good price.

Of course, if you have your own movie company, your own movie theater line, and a lot of money for publicity, you don't need to sell such a profitable movie to others. As long as the movie is released, it will be high at the box office in the future.

But nowadays, Yi Feiyang has nothing. Even if there is one, one must face a problem, that is, the box office does not accumulate in one day and can get money in one day. It takes at least half a year, or even one or two years, to really receive money. In the meantime, you need to be able to ensure that you "live".

Yi Feiyang is a very utilitarian person. He understands his strengths and weaknesses. All he does now has only one purpose, which is to create wealth for his original accumulation!

With funding, you can execute bigger plans, make the movies you want to do, and do what you want; conversely, you can't do anything without startup funding!

A penny stumped the hero!

Similarly, a penny can be any genius!

Needless to say, the United States is a country with an extremely developed film industry. With such a huge movie empire, movie companies are like the Warring States era in which hegemony was fought, and the seven nations were in the war.

The kings of these seven films are MGM, Columbia, Disney, Universal, Warner, and Paramount and Fox!

These seven major movie companies basically control the rise and fall of the entire Hollywood, and are in charge of the general direction of the world film industry. However, occasionally some new film companies pop up to challenge their authority, such as ... Lions Gate.

The founder of Lionsgate was "Frank Gusta", originally a Canadian banker who founded Lionsgate in 1997. At that time, he hoped to invest in the booming film industry. The company initially bought many small production equipment and distributors, and spent huge sums of money to buy a number of large cinema lines.

Lionsgate's first commercially successful film was "American Psychiatric Patient." It began its controversial journey in the mainstream American film industry. And looking at the entire audience of Lionsgate's leading audience, they are aimed at American teenagers, so most of the films produced are horror films and thrillers aimed at this audience.

This time, Yi Feiyang chose Lionsgate Pictures to buy and sell the copyright object in his hands. And in the past life, Yi Feiyang had a great love for Lionsgate Films. He loved the series "The Chainsaw Horror" and "The Hunger Games" series shot by this company.

Lionsgate's corporate headquarters in the United States is located in the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles. This area is a must-see for the soldiers stationed by N Films. It faces Hollywood in the east and the Pacific Ocean in the west. With the entire Los Angeles movie theater line, it can open up overseas markets to the outside world, and it can show the strength of Hollywood to the inside.

When Yi Feiyang came to the Lions Gate Pictures headquarters with confidence and looked up at the newly established film company, Yi Feiyang knew very well that in another ten years, that is, in 2007, this young lion will Instead of the original MGM, it turned into a Hollywood lion. Become one of Hollywood's new seven heroes.

A black gorilla-like security guard was at the gate, and he watched with vigour at Yi Feiyang, a strange Chinese man.

He didn't understand what the other person was looking up at, but as a security guard he walked over and asked Yi Feiyang: "Hey man, do you have anything? If it's okay, please don't wander around here."

Yi Feiyang smiled and said politely, "I'm here to see Mr. Gusta. I have important matters to discuss with him."

"Gusta? Are you looking for our boss? Unfortunately, our boss went out, so please come back next time!" Of course, the black security guard did not believe this guy's nonsense. See our boss, do you look like someone with that qualification.

"It doesn't matter. I can wait for him here. What time will he be back?" Yi Feiyang was not discouraged.

"I don't know, but I advise you to leave, man, do you understand what I mean?" The black security guard was a little impatient.

Yi Feiyang shrugged. "Will I be able to find someone else, such as Mr. Mike, who seems to be the director of the distribution department, and I am looking for him?" After that, Yi Feiyang stepped in and sat down. Chairs in the lounge area.

Seeing this from the black security guard, he seemed to scold something, and stopped caring about him.

Yi Feiyang waited for a while to see the time, it was ten o'clock in the morning. So he got up and went to the secretary's desk, and said to the woman secretary who was applying nail polish, "Excuse me, when is Mike going to work?"

The female secretary said in an indifferent tone: "How do I know this? I'm just the secretary here, not his nanny!"

Yi Feiyang had no choice but to nod. Just as he turned around, he heard someone shouting, "Mr. Mike, there is a document for you to sign."

Yi Feiyang looked back, and saw a short white man coming in from the revolving door, and a company employee followed him with documents.

Obviously, this short winter melon should be Mike's director.

Supervisor Mike took out his gold pen, brushed it, signed the document smartly, then threw the document back, and got on the elevator accompanied by a personal assistant.

When the elevator door was about to be closed, a hand was inserted, and then a Chinese man said to him, "Hello, Mr. Mike, my name is Yi Feiyang. I contacted Mr. Gusta before, about my hand. The problem of film rights ... "

"Oh, who are you? The boss and I mentioned this; but I'm very busy now, man, you have seen it, I have a very important meeting to start, just wait for a while! "As the director Mike pushed the button, the elevator closed.

Yi Feiyang didn't expect this dwarf melon to lose face so much. Seeing that the other party was upstairs, he had to return to the leisure area again and continue to sit on the cold bench.

Time passed slowly again and again.

Yi Feiyang was impatient.

Not far from the secretary's desk, the black security guard was laughing fart with the female secretary.

Yi Feiyang walked over, "I'm annoying you, may I ask Mr. Mike to finish the meeting?"

"How do I know?" The female secretary was upset that someone interrupted her chat.

"Then ask you to call and ask."

The female secretary gave Yi Feiyang a harsh white look, "You wait!"

The call will be over, the call will be connected.

"Mr. Mike, there is a gentleman downstairs looking for you ... yes, that is the Chinese, uh, let him wait a while ... Okay, ok, uh, goodbye!"

"Hear not, tell you to wait a little longer!" The female secretary hung up the phone impatiently.

"Hey man, you can just sit there! Don't bother anyone any more, Mr. Mike will call you when you have time!" The black security guard murmured for the female secretary.

Yi Feiyang took a deep breath, struggling to suppress his hot temper, smiled, "OK, I will wait a little longer." Walked back to the leisure area.

The black security man turned his head proudly and said to the female secretary, "Damn Chinese, that's how ignorant!"

...

More than an hour passed.

It's noon, and Yi Feiyang's stomach started to coo. The female secretary and the black security guard had already shifted for lunch.

The black security guard was suffocating, picking the front teeth with the company key equipped, and the female secretary was holding a small mirror in the front desk to smear off the lipstick.

A delivery door opened and came in, saying that the French course ordered by Mr. Mike, black pepper beef fillet, cheese and snails, and French foie gras ...

The female secretary quietly called Director Mike and said, "Your delivery has arrived, and the Chinese is still waiting."

"Oh damn, that idiot hasn't left yet ?! Let him wait and say I'm busy, wait until I've had lunch!"

Then there came the woman who laughed, and Mr. Mike laughed: "Baby, look, will we drink red wine or brandy later?"

Hung up the phone sneakily, the female secretary looked up, but saw Yi Feiyang looking at her with a smile.
