Chris Lee didn't ignore his boss's question and quickly replied, "John, if you think it's necessary, I can contact Asia in the near future."
John Kelly asked, "can't you just woo Jack Cheng or jet Lee?"
"Jeter and danielis have signed three film contracts, and we certainly won't have a chance before they are finished," Chris Lee said. After thinking about it, he said, "Jack can try it, but after last year's rush hour, he's paid a lot and has reached the top level of Hollywood. The police story 4 we tried to compete for last year finally fell into the hands of Disney, which offered a very high price. And even if we're willing to make an offer, Jack won't be available in the short term, and rush hour 2 will start shooting in the second half of the year. "
John Kelly weighed it out and said, "well, let's get in touch with Asia first."
Chris Lee nodded.
In fact, I don't have any expectations.
Under the strength of danielis entertainment, Hollywood is no longer a question of whether other film companies can make good films.
Take this "hurricane rescue" as an example. The production cost of 25 million US dollars, under normal circumstances, should be about 10 million US dollars. However, the recent popularity of this film in the Internet, television, print media and other aspects is definitely not the momentum that can be created by the publicity expenditure of 10 million US dollars.
And why?
Because Denise entertainment owns ABC TV network and many other cable TV channels, because westero system controls igritte, the largest network platform, and because Simon westero has a very good relationship with the behind the scenes family consortia of major mainstream newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.
As a result, when the films of danielis entertainment are shown, they don't even need too much attention. These media platforms will naturally give enough exposure.
Moreover, due to the double sales of dannilis Entertainment's films, and the pressure of dannilis entertainment itself, the major courtyard lines in North America and even overseas will also give dannilis Entertainment's films better screen resources, better screening time, and even more active marketing of its own channels.
These will inevitably lead to Denise entertainment film more easily get a higher box office.
Even outside the cinema, the video channel, Denise entertainment controls the world's largest video chain blockbuster, and the Amazon online mall of igritte. In recent years, the sales of video tapes have also shown a geometric growth trend.
And television, too.
All of these resources have unconsciously built a potential barrier for Denise entertainment to be stronger and other studios to be weaker.
The end of the weak is likely to be eliminated.
After expelling Peter Cooper and John Peters, Sony is still in a state of continuous loss in recent years.
As an insider, Chris Lee sees better.
In the past few years, the global economy has been improving, and Sony can still support it. Now, the new technology bubble burst, SONY's main business is bound to be implicated, plus the impact of iPlayer and iCam products on SONY's traditional players and cameras, and the rapid decline of SONY's music business by Internet pirated music. Apart from the miracle, the Japanese can only choose to abandon the movie business this time.
John Kelly is 67 years old. If he loses his job because of Sony's withdrawal from Hollywood, he can retire directly. Chris Lee himself is only 41 years old, in his prime, and has a long way to go.
Therefore, after the failure of "walking with the devil", Chris Lee has considered more recently, which is his own way out.
Two Sony Pictures executives had a discussion in the VIP screening hall and left the cinema in the evening.
After dinner with his family after work, Chris Lee went out again and drove to Jonathan Friedman's mansion in the baylair mountains.
Party parties are held regularly to promote the communication between its filmmakers and studios, so as to reach more cooperation. This is something Hollywood's major brokerage companies will do frequently.
That's what happened at Jonathan Friedman's mansion tonight.
It's not easy for Chris Lee, who was not a top Hollywood producer before he became president of Columbia Pictures, to attend some high-end events at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. This is the biggest benefit of this job. Chris Lee has never missed a similar opportunity to expand his contacts since he took office for more than half a year.
can look at the backyard of Losangeles's night view, which is a very relaxing cocktail party. There are only a few guests on the scene who are playing tinkling.
Most importantly, looking at the crowd, Sylvester Stallone, Roland Emmerich, Nicholas Cage, Nicole Kidman, Will Smith, Michael Bay, Francis Coppola, Al Pacino It's all big names.This is also Chris Lee's most important networking resource.
Like an old farmer who is diligent in watering and fertilizing the crops, Chris Lee greets them one by one. It's only when he meets Alec Baldwin, one of the four familiar Baldwin brothers, and whispers a few words that he learns that Simon westrow is also here, arriving only a few minutes earlier than him that Chris Litton is even more excited.
Because if he loses his current job in the next two years, Chris Lee is most likely to be an independent producer for a while.
Now Hollywood producers, the best partner is undoubtedly danilisi entertainment.
He asked in a low voice. He learned from Baldwin that westero was on the terrace on the second floor of the villa, but Chris Lee didn't go straight away. He continued to get in touch with the guests and listened to Al Pacino playing a piece of music on the piano beside the swimming pool. Finally, he came to the villa and could walk directly to the staircase on the second floor.
John Woo and another Asian man who Chris Lee also recognized came down together. He quickly came forward with a smile and said, "Hello, woo, nice to meet you. Also, you're Zhou, right? That's the hero. "
Because some of the later dubbing of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon needs Fage who came to North America to meet Chris Lee, recognize himself, nod politely and ask, "Hello, who are you?"
"I'm Chris Lee, President of Columbia Pictures."
Chris Lee took out his business card and gave it to them.
John Woo, who had been a little cold, soon smiles when he hears Chris Lee's self introduction. He takes the card and reaches for it.
Chris Lee shook hands with John Wu and said with a smile, "John, I've seen both your" broken arrow "and" mission impossible 2 ". Oh, and the movie" heroism "which created a box office miracle in Hong Kong. It happens that Chinese Kung Fu has been very popular in Hollywood in the past two years. Do you have any ideas about it? Maybe we can cooperate?"
After hearing the words, they looked at each other, and John Wu said, "I just finished face changing, and I don't have any plans for a new film yet, just like AFA. But if you think about it, Chris, I'm sorry, we don't have it at the moment. "
"It's not a problem. We can take time to have a chat and come up with good ideas. How about tomorrow, you two?"
Chris Lee sent out the invitation directly again, mainly because he was acutely aware of the subtext in John Wu's words: After face change, Wu and danielis entertainment did not reach a follow-up intention, and obviously had the intention to leave danielis and cooperate with other studios.
Fage, who was about to say something, winked and then said, "I'm sorry, Chris. Zhou and I don't have time tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter. In this way, can you leave me a contact information? Recently, we can contact by phone first?"
John Wu didn't refuse this time, but Fage will go to New York next Monday. The later stage of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon is mainly completed there. He can't stay in Los Angeles to meet Chris Lee, so he can only entrust it to John Wu.
After such a talk, Chris Lee basically decided to reach an intention, which is a real harvest tonight.
Seeing them go to other places, Chris Lee stepped up the steps and came to the terrace on the second floor.
You see a target at a glance.
Simon westrow is sitting on the couch facing the railing, surrounded by four women, two generations of exotic girls on the left, an Asian girl on the right, and Mia Sara, the heroine of the recent ghost of terror.
In addition to the other three familiar faces, the Asian girl was recognized as the girl who played Jeter Lee's kidnapped sister in hurricane rescue. Even though there are aesthetic differences between the East and the west, the girl's appearance is obviously different from the common Asian on the Western screen. In the afternoon, Chris Lee was surprised.
Because it's really beautiful.
Now, to see the other side here, Chris Lee immediately has a sense of that.
How could Simon westlow miss such a little beauty.
Or maybe it was Simon westero's little beauty.
In addition to Simon westero, sitting on several sofas next to him are Jonathan Friedman, the owner of the mansion whom Chris Lee has never seen before, and the creators of Hurricane rescue and ghost of terror, Jeter Lee, Ben Stiller, Doug Riemann and Peter Jackson.
Perhaps it's a special gathering to celebrate the success of a series of recent films.
Of the four movies related to danielis entertainment in the Easter schedule, only Kim Carey from cable repairman didn't appear. Chris Lee, who happens to know some rumors in the circle, doesn't feel surprised.
When Chris Lee showed up, all the people who were chatting were watching.
Jonathan Friedman, who was closest to the stairs and the owner's house, recognized Chris Lee, got up on his own initiative, shook hands with him with a smile, and without waiting for other people to follow him, he directly took Lee to a seat nearby.Obviously, for the sake of social convenience, there are more than 100 square meters of patio. Around the elliptical coffee table near the railing, there are six sets of sofas, large and small, in an arc, which is enough to squeeze more than ten people to hold a tea party.
Jonathan waited for Li to sit down and help introduce him. Li, who had just dipped his butt on the sofa cushion, got up slightly and nodded to everyone.
Actually, I want to exchange business cards.
After all, whether it's Jeter Lee or Doug Riemann, Peter Jackson and others, they will be the hot spots in Hollywood in the next few years. However, the scene is obviously not suitable at this time, and it is not urgent. There must be an opportunity later.
Simon has been paying close attention to the trend of Hollywood. When Sony Pictures changed its management again last year, he also knew that it was the first time he met the person in charge of Columbia studio. After Li said hello, he asked casually, "what's the later effect of van Hoven's Star River team?"
Chris Lee didn't expect that Simon westero would suddenly ask himself this question. Even if this kind of question about the sensitive information of competitors is a bit out of time, westero's posture is casual and his tone is casual. Lee didn't dare to be perfunctory, and didn't hesitate to hide it. She sat up a little straight and said: "Star River team is the team of Samsung pictures Responsible, but I also pay attention to it. In terms of CG effect, it's very good and shocking. "
Simon is noncommittal, ask again: "big he Dianxiong should be very angry these days?"
Chris Lee was a little embarrassed, but still told the truth: "Mr. Dahe just connected with our video in the morning, indeed Not very happy
Simon grinned and rubbed the slender waist of the Asian girl beside him. Looking at Chris Lee, he seemed to comfort him and said, "in fact, you should do your job well. Hollywood is our native after all. Japanese talents are outsiders. Outsiders come and go. We are still the masters of Hollywood."
Chris Lee nodded subconsciously.
However.
Soon, if you understand.
Simon westero, this is obviously some hope that the Japanese can "come and go" as soon as possible.
Or, it's a bit of a draw.
Why do you woo me?
I hope he can promote the Japanese to "come and go" as soon as possible.
As a major producer of Sony Pictures, it's not easy for Chris Lee to do well, but it's too easy to screw up.
With this in mind, Chris Lee looks tentatively at the young tycoon on the opposite side, but the other side has turned his eyes. Instead, Jonathan Friedman looks at him with the same kind of understanding smile.
With these thoughts in mind, Chris Lee didn't stay here much and took the initiative to leave.
When Chris Lee left, it seemed that everyone immediately forgot what happened and continued to talk about trivial things.
No one came up to greet him for a while, but Simon looked at the Asian girl next to him. "By the way, what do you say in your name?" he asked deliberately in Chinese, which was not very fluent. "Qiqi? It's very interesting."
Because I'm not proficient in English, I smile and correct the girl who just lost everything: "it's' diligence ', Mr. westero. This word in Chinese means' hardworking'
"Oh, I see."
"In fact, Mr. westero, you can also call me angel. This is my English name. In Chinese, it's Jiang Anqi," she said
Simon mouth with a smile: "I think this name sounds better, just like you, beautiful as an angel."
"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. westlow."
"You can also call me Simon, and you don't have to be so formal."
"It would be impolite."
"No, people close to us all call each other by name. Aren't we close now?"
The girl, whose English name is Jiang Anqi, is actually very familiar with dealing with people. She obviously feels the ambiguity in the words of the men around her, but pretends not to know. She just blushes and says, "well, Simon."
While chatting with others, Jeter Lee, who heard the conversation, couldn't help complaining.
He has seen how fluent this great man's Chinese is. Now, he pretends to be raw and astringent, which makes her more fluent and admirable.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Chris Lee didn't ignore his boss's question and quickly replied, "John, if you think it's necessary, I can contact Asia in the near future."
John Kelly asked, "can't you just woo Jack Cheng or jet Lee?"
"Jeter and danielis have signed three film contracts, and we certainly won't have a chance before they are finished," Chris Lee said.

Chris Lee shook hands with John Wu and said with a smile, "John, I've seen both your" broken arrow "and" mission impossible 2 ". Oh, and the movie" heroism "which created a box office miracle in Hong Kong. It happens that Chinese Kung Fu has been very popular in Hollywood in the past two years. Do you have any ideas about it? Maybe we can cooperate?" After hearing the words, they looked at each other, and John Wu said, "I just finished face changing, and I don't have any plans for a new film yet, just like AFA. But if you think about it, Chris, I'm sorry, we don't have it at the moment. " "It's not a problem. We can take time to have a chat and come up with good ideas. How about tomorrow, you two?" Chris Lee sent out the invitation directly again, mainly because he was acutely aware of the subtext in John Wu's words: After face change, Wu and danielis entertainment did not reach a follow-up intention, and obviously had the intention to leave danielis and cooperate with other studios. Fage, who was about to say something, winked and then said, "I'm sorry, Chris. Zhou and I don't have time tomorrow." "It doesn't matter. In this way, can you leave me a contact information? Recently, we can contact by phone first?" John Wu didn't refuse this time, but Fage will go to New York next Monday. The later stage of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon is mainly completed there. He can't stay in Los Angeles to meet Chris Lee, so he can only entrust it to John Wu. After such a talk, Chris Lee basically decided to reach an intention, which is a real harvest tonight. Seeing them go to other places, Chris Lee stepped up the steps and came to the terrace on the second floor. You see a target at a glance. Simon westrow is sitting on the couch facing the railing, surrounded by four women, two generations of exotic girls on the left, an Asian girl on the right, and Mia Sara, the heroine of the recent ghost of terror. In addition to the other three familiar faces, the Asian girl was recognized as the girl who played Jeter Lee's kidnapped sister in hurricane rescue. Even though there are aesthetic differences between the East and the west, the girl's appearance is obviously different from the common Asian on the Western screen. In the afternoon, Chris Lee was surprised. Because it's really beautiful. Now, to see the other side here, Chris Lee immediately has a sense of that. How could Simon westlow miss such a little beauty. Or maybe it was Simon westero's little beauty. In addition to Simon westero, sitting on several sofas next to him are Jonathan Friedman, the owner of the mansion whom Chris Lee has never seen before, and the creators of Hurricane rescue and ghost of terror, Jeter Lee, Ben Stiller, Doug Riemann and Peter Jackson. Perhaps it's a special gathering to celebrate the success of a series of recent films. Of the four movies related to danielis entertainment in the Easter schedule, only Kim Carey from cable repairman didn't appear. Chris Lee, who happens to know some rumors in the circle, doesn't feel surprised. When Chris Lee showed up, all the people who were chatting were watching. Jonathan Friedman, who was closest to the stairs and the owner's house, recognized Chris Lee, got up on his own initiative, shook hands with him with a smile, and without waiting for other people to follow him, he directly took Lee to a seat nearby.Obviously, for the sake of social convenience, there are more than 100 square meters of patio. Around the elliptical coffee table near the railing, there are six sets of sofas, large and small, in an arc, which is enough to squeeze more than ten people to hold a tea party. Jonathan waited for Li to sit down and help introduce him. Li, who had just dipped his butt on the sofa cushion, got up slightly and nodded to everyone. Actually, I want to exchange business cards. After all, whether it's Jeter Lee or Doug Riemann, Peter Jackson and others, they will be the hot spots in Hollywood in the next few years. However, the scene is obviously not suitable at this time, and it is not urgent. There must be an opportunity later. Simon has been paying close attention to the trend of Hollywood. When Sony Pictures changed its management again last year, he also knew that it was the first time he met the person in charge of Columbia studio. After Li said hello, he asked casually, "what's the later effect of van Hoven's Star River team?" Chris Lee didn't expect that Simon westero would suddenly ask himself this question. Even if this kind of question about the sensitive information of competitors is a bit out of time, westero's posture is casual and his tone is casual. Lee didn't dare to be perfunctory, and didn't hesitate to hide it. She sat up a little straight and said: "Star River team is the team of Samsung pictures Responsible, but I also pay attention to it. In terms of CG effect, it's very good and shocking. " Simon is noncommittal, ask again: "big he Dianxiong should be very angry these days?" Chris Lee was a little embarrassed, but still told the truth: "Mr. Dahe just connected with our video in the morning, indeed Not very happy Simon grinned and rubbed the slender waist of the Asian girl beside him. Looking at Chris Lee, he seemed to comfort him and said, "in fact, you should do your job well. Hollywood is our native after all. Japanese talents are outsiders. Outsiders come and go. We are still the masters of Hollywood." Chris Lee nodded subconsciously. However. Soon, if you understand. Simon westero, this is obviously some hope that the Japanese can "come and go" as soon as possible. Or, it's a bit of a draw. Why do you woo me? I hope he can promote the Japanese to "come and go" as soon as possible. As a major producer of Sony Pictures, it's not easy for Chris Lee to do well, but it's too easy to screw up. With this in mind, Chris Lee looks tentatively at the young tycoon on the opposite side, but the other side has turned his eyes. Instead, Jonathan Friedman looks at him with the same kind of understanding smile. With these thoughts in mind, Chris Lee didn't stay here much and took the initiative to leave. When Chris Lee left, it seemed that everyone immediately forgot what happened and continued to talk about trivial things. No one came up to greet him for a while, but Simon looked at the Asian girl next to him. "By the way, what do you say in your name?" he asked deliberately in Chinese, which was not very fluent. "Qiqi? It's very interesting." Because I'm not proficient in English, I smile and correct the girl who just lost everything: "it's' diligence ', Mr. westero. This word in Chinese means' hardworking' "Oh, I see." "In fact, Mr. westero, you can also call me angel. This is my English name. In Chinese, it's Jiang Anqi," she said Simon mouth with a smile: "I think this name sounds better, just like you, beautiful as an angel." "Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. westlow." "You can also call me Simon, and you don't have to be so formal." "It would be impolite." "No, people close to us all call each other by name. Aren't we close now?" The girl, whose English name is Jiang Anqi, is actually very familiar with dealing with people. She obviously feels the ambiguity in the words of the men around her, but pretends not to know. She just blushes and says, "well, Simon." While chatting with others, Jeter Lee, who heard the conversation, couldn't help complaining. He has seen how fluent this great man's Chinese is. Now, he pretends to be raw and astringent, which makes her more fluent and admirable.
