It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

There are actually not many scenes in the Los Angeles part of Super 3.

With Chen Fei's full efforts, it was all done in less than a week.

The reason why the time can be reduced to such a short time is due to the rapid progress of shooting the racing scenes, which indirectly shortened the shooting schedule.

Who would have thought that the director of Furious 3 is actually a skilled racing driver?

If Chen Fei was just an ordinary director and wanted to shoot fast and furious racing scenes, he would definitely need countless NGs.

But while he is a director, he is also a racing driver who has mastered various drag racing skills!

Isn’t it easy for a director with a deep understanding of vehicles and tracks to shoot drag racing scenes?

Chen Fei even deliberately improved the presentation of some shots based on the original work to achieve better effects.

As a result, Romulo's three views were refreshed!

In just one week, all the shots of Los Angeles were completed...

This progress simply amazed him!

That is to say, actors in Hollywood rarely work overtime. Otherwise, he highly doubts that Chen Fei can even push the progress to within five days!

On the day when the filming of the Hollywood plot ended, Romulo couldn't hold back after all and asked Chen Fei,

"Fei? Are all your Chinese movie shootings progressing so fast?"

To be honest, even in places like Hollywood, where the film industry system is very developed, the current filming progress is very rare.

So much so that Romulo was wondering, is Super 3 an action blockbuster or a B-category horror film?

"Is the progress... very fast?" Chen Fei asked him curiously.

Romulo: "..."

To be honest, compared to the shooting of rocks and racing cars, the shooting of Super 3 is already very slow.

But there is nothing he can do. In addition to the Writers Guild, Hollywood also has the Directors and Actors Guild.

These unions have strict regulations, and actors' shooting time must be fixed within a certain time point, once it is exceeded. Count it as overtime.

And this overtime pay...

expensive! Very expensive!

Therefore, it is better not to work overtime unless necessary.

"Let's change the topic."

Romulo stopped discussing the progress of the filming in time and made up his mind to go to China to see if he had the chance.

Because of Chen Fei, that ancient civilization with five thousand years of cultural history made him very curious!

"When are we going to Tokyo?"

"a week later."

"Why? Hasn't the scenery in Group B been built yet? Why is the progress so slow?"

"..."

Romulo was silent again.

In fact, in the original plan, the filming progress in Los Angeles was half a month.

When this side ends, the other side will just connect.

But who would have thought that Chen Fei's filming would progress so quickly?

After a moment of silence, Romulo said, "Fei, there is something I think I must remind you."

"Oh? You said?"

"Our total investment is US$85 million. This money... must be spent and cannot be kept. This is related to the investment amount of Super 4."

"Hmm? Do you have to spend it all?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "What about the distribution fee? It's not included in this? No need to keep it?"

"Super 3 is special, and the distribution costs will be borne by the theater chain."

In an instant, Chen Fei understood!

Don’t you just want to burn money hard? Isn't this simple?

"Mr. Romulo, if I can invite some well-known actors who are willing to make guest appearances, can this fee be deducted from the investment amount?"

"oh!?"

Romulo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Okay, who do you want to invite?"

Chen Fei grinned slightly and showed a mysterious smile, "You will know when the time comes. Since there is still some time, I will go back to China first. We will meet in Tokyo then."

"Ok, see you in Tokyo."

Although he was a little curious about who Chen Fei wanted to make a guest appearance, Romulo didn't ask specifically. Anyway, he could reveal the answer when he went to Tokyo.

…

After seeing off Romulo, Chen Fei turned around and called Bruce and asked him to help book a flight back to China.

I have been free for more than a week, and I have nothing to do in Los Angeles. I can just go back to China to arrange some things.

But when he proposed to return to China, Bruce suddenly said: "Fei, I think you need to meet someone before returning to China."

"Oh? Who?"

"It's the girl with a very hot figure that I mentioned to you before. She came to see me again."

"Please refuse it first. I am not ready to cooperate with independent production companies at the moment. Without good enough results as an endorsement, there is no way to talk about enough profits."

The cooperation with Universal Pictures can be said to be a result of "luck". Both parties want to take advantage of the other's advantages, so they can achieve cooperation.

But those independent production companies are different.

Their way of making money is relatively simple, so they are bound to not be able to share too much in the interests.

Chen Fei does not want to just be a script seller, because his scripts are destined to make money, and he must have a share of the investment, otherwise there will be no negotiation.

After that, he was ready to hang up the phone immediately.

But the next second, Bruce added, "But the other party made a new request. She wants to cooperate with you, in a company way."

After hearing this, Chen Fei became interested instantly.

"Elaborate?"

Bruce said a little depressed: "Well, I don't know how to explain these details. How about you meet and let her explain it to you in detail?"

"Okay, book a restaurant for me, reply to the other party, and meet at three o'clock in the afternoon. Don't book a flight back home for now."

"OK!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei simply packed up his personal belongings and then waited quietly for Bruce's reply.

Less than half an hour later, the phone rang again.

"Fei, I'm going to pick you up now. The other party invites you to her company for further discussions."

Yo?

Do you want to show me your muscles first?

After thinking about it, Chen Fei immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then I will go with you to meet this perseverant film and television company boss."

…

Bruce's driving skills are very good. Even if he is weaving in slightly crowded traffic, he still drives very steadily.

Glancing at Chen Fei, who was busy in the co-pilot, he was a little curious, "Fei? Why do I feel that the orange peel in your hand is familiar?"

He vaguely remembered that when he drove Chen Fei to Universal Pictures to discuss cooperation that day, he seemed to have eaten a very big orange.

Now, watching Chen Fei soak the dried orange peels in a glass of water very solemnly, he suddenly had a very bold guess.

Could this orange peel be peeled off from that day’s orange?

Thinking of this, before Chen Fei could answer, Bruce suddenly said with emotion: "Fei, you are such a frugal person, I should learn from you."

Looking up at him, Chen Fei curled his lips and complained secretly in his heart.

You know nothing!

This is the orange peel peeled from the "Lucky Orange". Can it be compared to ordinary oranges?

"Can I have a piece?"

Looking at Bruce's hand stretched out in front of him, Chen Fei was a little confused, "You don't want to soak it in water, so why do you want orange peels?"

"I took three Liuwei Dihuang Pills today and my mouth felt so bitter. I wanted to take one to taste it."

"Okay." Chen Fei pinched out a small piece with some distress, put it in his hand very solemnly, and warned: "Hold it tightly, swallow it all, don't miss it, this orange peel is very precious. "

system:"?????"

…

Arriving at the location designated by the other party, Bruce parked the car and subconsciously looked at Fade Chen.

Looking at the Avenue of Stars on the right, both of them were a little stunned.

After taking a look at the surrounding environment and the scene of people coming and going, Chen Fei asked in disbelief: "Are you sure that the other party's film and television company is located next to the Avenue of Stars?"

Bruce nodded, "I'm pretty sure this is where she said it was."

Mad, you won’t meet a rich woman, right?

Chen Fei was inexplicably confused.

How rich is this woman to be able to open a film and television company next to the Avenue of Stars, where land is so valuable?

If the other party sees me and suddenly throws out a billion or eighty million US dollars, should I accept it...or accept it?

While thinking about it, the two of them got out of the car and walked towards the location designated by the other party.

Situated in front of him was a six-story commercial building. Chen Fei looked up and saw a huge sign on the top of the building.

【Walton Entertainment Company】

Walton Entertainment?

For a moment, Chen Fei frowned, and suddenly had a strange feeling, "This company name? Why does it feel so familiar?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw more than ten people walking out of the company door and walking quickly towards him.

The leader is a girl with long ash-brown hair, a tall figure and a beautiful appearance. She has a pretty face that fits the aesthetics of both European and American men and Chinese men.

However, looking at that face, Chen Fei became more and more confused.

He never expected that the sexy and hot woman Bruce mentioned would be this one!

"Fei, welcome. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Natalie Walton. You can also call me Natalie."

"Hello...Ms. Natalie."

Chen Fei had seen the woman in front of him on Baidu Encyclopedia.

Of course, maybe most people don't know her very well just by mentioning her name.

But, her mother is the eldest princess of Walmart!

"Nima, did you really meet a rich woman?"

Facing Chen Fei's arrival, Natalie was very enthusiastic.

"Situated in front of you is my entertainment company, which includes film production, studios, television production, animation production, home video, games, comics and many other businesses."

While introducing, Natalie led Fade Chen and Bruce into the company.

"We have a very mature production team, film and television post-production team, special effects and animation production team, covering all aspects of film and television business."

Listening to her introduction, Chen Fei nodded slightly and secretly made an affirmation in his heart.

This is a very mature film and television entertainment company, and the one he really wants!

If he could own such a company, it would completely support him in film and television shooting without any worries.

But while listening, Chen Fei suddenly discovered a very strange situation.

All the supporting facilities of this company are very complete, but why does it not have a shooting team?

He raised the question in a timely manner, "Ms. Natalie, where are your company's film shooting team, screenwriting team, and director team?"

As soon as these words came out, Natalie's expression changed slightly.

"Fei, this is exactly why I invited you here."

In an instant, Chen Fei understood!

Good guy, this woman actually set up all the supporting facilities and logistics production team, but she ignored the most fundamental issue of "resources".

No script, no director, no actors...

So, what’s the point of starting this company?

Without film output, a closed loop cannot be formed. This is destined to be a bottomless pit of constant money loss!

…

A group of people came to the conference room. Natalie warmly invited Chen Fei and Bruce to sit down and arranged for someone to serve them drinks.

"Fei, you have also seen the situation of the company. I am currently very short of a suitable director. Only by producing works can we generate income, otherwise this company will not survive for long."

Chen Fei looked at her in confusion, "Didn't you consider these issues at the beginning of the establishment?"

"How is that possible!" Natalie's tone suddenly became much louder, "I used to have a partner, but he betrayed me and joined another company..."

With her explanation, Chen Fei finally understood the inside story.

Natalie's company has been established for one year. She originally got along very harmoniously with her previous partner, who was responsible for film production, and she was responsible for distribution and post-production.

But who would have thought that because of a "betrayal incident", the two had a big fight.

In the end, the other party led the production team to leave the company directly and turned around to join another company.

Without the filming team, the company that only had the film’s post-production team was in dire straits!

If it weren't for the strong financial support behind her, I'm afraid this company wouldn't be able to survive for more than a month.

But until now, Natalie is also a little depressed.

After all, she can't keep throwing money into this bottomless pit, right?

She is very rich, but she is not stupid!

She also tried to find other directors, but if she wanted to support such a large company, the director's ability was very demanding.

After many people came to visit, they immediately gave up.

There are many well-known A-level film directors in Hollywood, but most of them are closely related to the eight giants. How could they like her as a small company?

But Chen Fei's arrival gave Natalie hope.

Through her family's channels, she sent people to China to investigate the news about Chen Fei very carefully.

And the final result did not disappoint her!

This is an excellent commercial film director who is also a director, screenwriter, and actor. He is not only famous internationally, but also well-known in the Hollywood Writers Guild.

The most important thing is that he does not belong to any of the eight major Hollywood companies!

And that gave Natalie her chance.

She passed Bruce and pushed hard for the meeting.

…

Looking at Natalie's sincere eyes across from him, after pondering for a long time, Chen Fei asked: "I want to know how you plan to cooperate with me."

"Share."

Natalie said without hesitation what Chen Fei wanted most.

She knows very well that how far an entertainment company can develop in the future depends on whether the company can continue to produce excellent works.

Therefore, Chen Fei's existence is crucial!

"How to distribute?"

"I'm 51, you're 49."

As soon as she finished speaking, looking at the confusion in Chen Fei's eyes, Natalie explained in time: "This is Hollywood after all, and your identity is destined to prevent you from being able to come to the stage as the boss of a film and television company."

Chen Fei shook his head.

Natalie was a little anxious. She missed Chen Fei and the company was destined to decline. "This is the most sincerity I can show."

To be honest, she didn't really want to give Chen Fei so much profit, but if she didn't take out enough benefits, the only outcome would be bankruptcy.

She is actually not short of money, even if the company goes bankrupt, it doesn't matter. After all, this is just a company she opened casually when she has nothing to do.

But she wants to gain some traction!

She wanted the man who betrayed her to regret his behavior!

Even if this company does not have the "betrayer", it can still survive tenaciously, and even reach a level comparable to Lionsgate and even the eight major Hollywood companies!

Although this is more like a dream, maybe it will succeed?

However, just when she was thinking about how to persuade Chen Fei, she saw the Chinese director in front of her suddenly reached out and patted the shoulder of the white man who had been sitting next to him.

“Natalie, this is my partner in Los Angeles, his name is Bruce, and he is a professional agent.

I just noticed that your company doesn't seem to have a brokerage business. Why not let him lead his own team of actors and models to join in.

How about we each contribute 5% and ask him to become the third shareholder of this company? "

uh-huh?

As the eldest granddaughter of the Walton family, how could Natalie not hear that Chen Fei wanted Bruce to join the company as a balancer between the two of them.

But she didn't care.

It's just a film and television company, and this is just the most inconspicuous project in its industry chain.

If she didn't want to slap the traitor in the face, she wouldn't even be prepared to keep the company and just package it up and sell it.

"I don't have any opinion."

With Natalie's generous move, the super rich second generation's aura of entanglement was instantly maximized!

At the same time, she even took the initiative to say: "I understand the rules. Whether it is director, screenwriter, or production fees, the company will pay them as usual.

Moreover, in the future, you can also enjoy 20% of the profit share of all copyright income of self-written and directed works, which is equivalent to the cooperation model between Spielberg and Universal Pictures. "

Good guy?

Is this the super rich second generation?

Are you so generous when it comes to cooperation?

Give a simple example.

If according to the model mentioned by Natalie, as long as the company can record 100, then Chen Fei can take away 20 first.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Fei, Natalie, and Bruce used the 80 to distribute.

According to the contract, Chen Fei can get 44, Natalie can get 46, and Bruce can get 10.

After calculating this, plus dividends, Chen Fei can get a total of 44+20=64!

In this way, his income will far exceed that of the other two!

"Something's wrong! There's something 12 out of 10 that's wrong!"

Chen Fei was a little confused. No matter how inhumane Natalie was, she shouldn't make such a deal.

This refutes his understanding of "Hollywood" and "Wall Street"!

However, just when he was about to ask Natalie if she had any other conditions, the other party took the initiative and said: "Fei, under these conditions, I need you to help me complete one thing."

Sure enough, the real thing is here!

Chen Fei suddenly became serious, "Please tell me."

"I want you to lead this company beyond Dimension Pictures!"

"The traitor?"

"Yes, he has become a member of Dimension Pictures, and I want him to pay the price for his betrayal!"

Chen Fei raised his lips slightly and said, "Ms. Natalie, I am very willing to agree to your conditions. This will become my certificate of submission."
