In Mickey Trevicom and David. Under Harnett's guidance, Xiao Yunhai turned around in the crew, watched a few scenes from the camera, and expressed appreciation.
Seeing the rare opportunity, Mickey Triwekang asked Xiao Yunhai for the problems he encountered in the process of using the 3D camera.
Xiao Yunhai naturally answered all questions, and even went on stage to demonstrate, which benefited Mickey Trevicom a lot.
Mickey Trevicom knew that Xiao Yunhai was looking for David. Harnett must have something to discuss, so he did not insist on inviting Xiao Yunhai to dinner at noon.
At one o'clock, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing invited David Harnett and Melinda to a restaurant where Mo Yina and Christy were waiting for them.
David Harnett saw that there was no one around, he knew that Xiao Yunhai had taken care of this place, and he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiao, it seems that you are taking me down?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "What? I just want to treat you to a meal. You can't eat anything that comes from you. Sit down."
Mo Yina nodded to the waiter in the restaurant, and various Western food and beverages such as steaks, burgers, and cola appeared on the table.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "David, let's eat first, then talk about things. My stomach is already groaning hungry."
David Harnett said, "I'm even hungry. I started shooting at six in the morning, and I haven't had a full meal yet."
Everyone was not polite and started moving together.
Xiao Yunhai was naturally the one who had the most appetite. After eating fifteen plates of beef, ten hamburgers filled his stomach.
Asking the waiter to serve everyone a cup of coffee, Xiao Yunhai just started talking about business.
"David, we are also old friends. You guys are not authentic. When you went to "The Voice of America", you didn't even tell me about your leaving Columbia Pictures. It really made me sad."
David Harnett said, "If I had told you earlier, I'm afraid you wouldn't let me leave at that time."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Yes. A young actor like you is a strategic existence for any entertainment company. Of course, I will advise you to join us in Marvel. You know, Marvel has a very good foundation. Bo, almost all of the artists in it are promoted by ourselves, and there are no actor-level actors. This is very disproportionate to the position of Marvel Comics in Hollywood."
"It's a pity that the Oscar actresses and actresses have always been famous, and we couldn't dig them. Finally, you guy came out of Columbia Pictures. You said that if you replace me with you, you can let it go. Have you been? By the way, I forgot to ask you. Are you uncomfortable staying in Colombia? Why do you want to leave?"
David Harnett sighed and said: "I don't like their working environment, it's full of copper smells. Everyone sees money but money. This is not a company that really likes movies. There is nothing in it. Human touch."
Speaking of this, David Harnett said with a reminiscence look: "I joined Columbia Pictures ten years ago, and the boss at that time was Mr. Hugo Joshua. He was a rare good man. He is also a real filmmaker who has special feelings for movies. I respect him very much, and he also took a fancy to me and gave me a lot of opportunities, which made me step by step from a hairy boy to the position of today's actor. Unfortunately, six years ago, he died of illness and the company was handed over to his son Isaiah Joshua. Everything changed. The change was profitable, and Hugo Joshua was no longer found. That feeling when the husband was alive. "
"Xiao, do you believe it? I haven't been to Columbia Pictures' headquarters for three years. I won't even go to the annual meeting. Isaiah Joshua seems to know that I have decided to go, even a little bit. He didn’t mean to stay. Hehe, anyway, I have made a lot of money for the company in the past ten years, but he didn’t even meet with me. He just pretended to stay on the phone. Then there was no more movement. It makes me sad to think about it."
Xiao Yunhai said solemnly: "There is nothing to be sad. Columbia Pictures has gone from bad to worse in the past few years. Although it has several Oscar winners and many Grammy-winning singers, they have not made good use of it. The albums released have received mediocre response. In the increasingly competitive Hollywood, I think it’s not far from being finished. I’m sorry, I’m a bit awkward, but I’m telling the truth.
David Harnett said sadly: "Yes, unless someone can suddenly stand up and turn the tide, it will be difficult to return to its former glory.
Xiao Yunhai was silent for a moment, and said, "David, I really didn't expect you to leave Columbia Pictures for this reason. In that case, come to our Marvel. I can assure you, Hugo. I can do what Mr. Joshua can do. What his old man can’t do, I can still do it. David, we are all people who love movies and we have quite a lot of common languages. Will Wei have a chance with me?"
David Harnett shook his head and said, "Xiao, I'm sorry, I never want to join any company, including your Marvel. Over the years, I have made a lot of money on my own, and I want to set up A small film company invites some directors to shoot movies I like. This way of working will give me a sense of freedom. I really don’t want to be constrained by the company anymore.
Hearing David Harnett’s words, Xiao Yunhai couldn’t help shook his head and said,
David, I didn’t expect this guy to be an idealist with no common sense of business. Hehe, I really haven’t seen this. . Do you think you can be free by setting up a film company? What's a joke."
"I tell you, if your plan is completely wrong, it will only make you more constrained. From the preparation of a movie to the final screening, it needs to go through shooting, post-production, review, promotion, distribution, There are so many steps, such as screening, how many points can you do now. I counted, that is, the first three points. You need to ask for help from others. David, your film company will not bring you freedom, it only It will lock you tightly like a chain, making you even more unfree, do you understand?"
Mo Yina, who was next to him, obviously did not expect that the famous actor would be so naive about things. She couldn't help but softly ask Melinda next to him: "Mr. Harnett wants to set up a film company, why don't you stop?"
Melinda shook her head and smiled bitterly: "David just said to be a free man, and didn't tell me to start a company. If I knew it, he would definitely be stopped.
After speaking, Melinda said to David again: "Mr. Xiao is right. You should think about it. And what I want to tell you is that your personality may be difficult to manage a film company."
David Harnett said stubbornly: "I'm sorry, Melinda, I have already decided."
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "David~EbookFREE.me~ In that case, why don't you set up a personal studio?"
David Harnett was taken aback, and said, "Personal studio? What is it?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This is a new thing that I created. Let's put it this way, it means being a celebrity, wanting to do a career on your own, and getting rid of the high dependence on entertainment companies, but found that he does not have the ability and cannot To achieve perfection, then you can set up a personal studio that relies on entertainment companies. Use your own popularity and influence, borrow the resources of the parent company behind to integrate. The employees inside are recruited by the stars themselves, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses. , To maintain its own independence. When you see a good film, you can invest yourself, choose the director and actors to shoot yourself, and you can also seek the parent company behind it to solve the problems of funding, distribution, and screening, but the benefits you get Share with the parent company. In this way, all the stars' problems are solved. David, don't you think this studio is suitable for you?
David Harnett listened to his eyes and nodded.
