Chapter 246： Lord of the Rings, may I?

   Even the eight major film companies have reported that they are ready to cooperate with Michelle Yeoh. Anyway, Michelle Yeoh is a well-known female star in the Southeast Asian film circle. Now that she has won the Golden Globe Award, even if it is for profit, it is normal for these companies to respond in this way.

At least adding Michelle Yeoh, the new Golden Globe winner, to American movies will definitely attract a lot more box office in the Asian market.

Randomly flipped through these newspapers, and after glancing at the reports above, Zhang Dongcheng quickly put these things behind him. He is no longer the age when he was concerned about gains and losses in the media reports.

Maybe it’s an exaggeration to say this, but with his own independent company, Zhang Dongcheng is well aware of the virtues of these newspapers. When you achieve success, they can praise you to the sky, but when you fall into the bottom, these newspapers can call you a sinner of all mankind!

"Okay, I saw it!" Zhang Dongcheng put the newspaper aside and said, "But Michelle wins the limelight even more. Looking at these newspapers, seven out of ten report the news that she won the Golden Globe Award !"

Patricia heard the words and said dissatisfied: "But anyway, without you, wouldn't it be possible for Michelle to become the actress of the Golden Globe Awards? I remember that if you didn't find her, she should I went to film Tomorrow Empire, where there is a chance to win the Golden Globe Award, it is your credit!"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this is absolutely true, it applies everywhere. Didn't you see that Patricia has blindly worshiped Zhang Dongcheng now?

"What? Do you envy her?" Zhang Dongcheng looked at Patricia with a smile.

"Of course!" As an actor who intends to fully devote himself to the film industry, Patricia naturally wants to be recognized, and this kind of film award trophy is undoubtedly the most intuitive way.

Patricia nodded, and then said with some regret: "But I also know that my acting skills are much worse now. Even if I were asked to play the heroine of The Matrix, I would not be able to reach Michelle's level." of!"

Patricia is a very thoughtful woman. She knows exactly what she lacks now. This is very rare. As the saying goes, people have self-knowledge! That's the kind of person he's talking about.

Zhang Dongcheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you become the best actress of the Golden Globe Award, and even the best actress of the Oscar. As long as you work hard, I will definitely help you get it!"

"Thank you, Smith!" A touch of emotion flashed in Patricia's eyes, and then quickly became hot. She stretched out her arms, hooked Zhang Dongcheng's neck, and offered a sweet kiss.

After a sweet kiss, Zhang Dongcheng laughed and said: "Patricia, we are on the set now, you have to know that there are other audiences around! Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Patricia looked around, but the crew didn't see it. She sneered indifferently and said, "Oh? Are you afraid? My big director Smith?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head naturally, and said, "I don't worry about it. If we have any scandals, it won't do me any harm. At most, it will just add a romantic hat. But yes You have a great impact!"

It's true, men and women are different. This is the same in the East and the West, but the two cultures are surprisingly consistent in this respect. A man's words are called romantic, and a woman's is called debauchery!

At this stage, no matter which country it is, the method of relying on gossip to gain positions has not yet emerged. Doing so will only damage your own reputation.

Patricia's eyes flashed with joy, and she said with a smile: "Then, should I thank you for your concern, Smith?"

Seeing Patricia's red lips gently kissing his own crystal-like diamond lips, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help but feel hot.

This goblin! Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhang Dongcheng decided that he must teach her a good lesson sometime, so as to let her know how powerful she is!

The matter between Zhang Dongcheng and Patricia was not discovered by the people in the crew, or even if someone found something, they would not announce it to the public.

In the next few days, Zhang Dongcheng once again fell into the tense shooting.

In addition to being fully responsible for the work of the dark war crew, he also needs to keep an eye on Reaper and The Matrix 2, which is being filmed in Australia. The days can be said to be fulfilling and busy.

A few days later, Adaman sent another piece of good news to Zhang Dongcheng.

"Smith, I think I have some good news to tell you!" Adaman hurried to the set, and said impatiently when he saw Zhang Dongcheng.

"Good news?" Zhang Dongcheng frowned, and said calmly: "Tell me, what good news is worth your excitement."

Dongcheng Pictures is not what it used to be, especially after the Golden Globe Awards, it has become one of the most popular companies in Hollywood. Many media have predicted that this company will grow into the ninth largest giant.

Adaman, who is responsible for most of the company's work, can almost be said to be more eye-catching than Zhang Dongcheng, the real boss. He can be said to be the real manager of Dongcheng Films. After all, Jang Dong-seong spends a lot of time shooting movies, but not much time is really spent on company management.

During this period of time, Adaman has seen quite a few big scenes, and Zhang Dongcheng is very interested in things that can make him so excited.

"It's about the copyright issue of Lord of the Rings. New Line Films seems to have a problem with Tolkien's estate management foundation!" Adaman gloated. He began to tell Zhang Dongcheng what happened.

Since it was reported that Zhang Dongcheng was planning to purchase the copyright of Lord of the Rings, New Line Films couldn't wait to hold a press conference, announcing that they would start filming The Lord of the Rings.

Although they took the lead, it has to be admitted that both New Line Films and Warner, the real big boss of New Line, underestimated the investment in this movie. In the end, the filming plan had to be shelved.

New Line Film Company refused to sell the copyright to Zhang Dongcheng, and firmly held it in its own hands.

This news made Tolkien's estate management foundation have opinions.

It appears that Tolkien's estate is planning to terminate the contract that gave the rights to New Line Films. The two sides are currently negotiating and negotiating in secret.

"That's right!" Zhang Dongcheng slapped his forehead suddenly, and he finally remembered.

In fact, after the release of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Tolkien's estate management foundation sued New Line Films in a Los Angeles court in the United States, accusing the company of concealing profits from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in order to avoid Payment of box office revenue commissions to original copyright holders.

This matter was still aroused. Although this matter is not the fault of New Line Films, it is enough to make people see that the cooperation between the two parties is not as close as imagined.

Can you intervene in the middle? Zhang Dongchen stroked his chin and began to think.

"Smith? Did you think of something?" Adaman looked at Zhang Dongcheng expectantly and asked.

"I do have some ideas." Zhang Dongcheng nodded, and asked, "Adaman, now that there is a conflict between Tolkien's estate management foundation and New Line Films. Have we almost intervened in it? Take the copyright of Lord of the Rings?"

"It should be possible!" Adaman said uncertainly: "There are rumors that Tolkien's estate management foundation intends to hand over the copyright of this novel to you to shoot. Of course, this is just a rumor. It is not possible Letter. But Smith, I think you're taking this movie too seriously!"

"Adaman, you don't understand!" Zhang Dongcheng smiled confidently, and said, "As long as we can buy Lord of the Rings, it will become our cornucopia!"

"I think you are the cornucopia!" Adaman laughed, and said, "With you, even other movies can make a fortune, isn't it?"

Seeing Adaman's narrow smile, Zhang Dongcheng cursed with a smile. Said: "Adaman, you should send someone to contact the people of Tolkien's estate management foundation first, it is best to let them terminate the contract with New Line Films and hand over the copyright to us! Or contact the people of the foundation , I will contact them face to face!"

"Okay, I understand!" Knowing Zhang Dongcheng's coveted heart for the Lord of the Rings, Adaman readily agreed.

After receiving Adaman’s invitation, Tolkien’s estate management foundation responded immediately, agreeing to meet with Zhang Dongcheng for a detailed discussion.

People from these foundations are responsible for the operation of Tolkien's legacy. From the perspective of maximizing benefits, they are more willing to hand over The Lord of the Rings to Zhang Dongcheng. After all, compared with New Line Films, Zhang Dongcheng has advantages in all aspects.

Just the special effects company he owns, which has gradually established a reputation in Hollywood, is much better than New Line Films. Even Warner, behind the scenes, does not have a better special effects production department than Dongcheng Pictures.

Furthermore, Zhang Dongcheng's repeated victories are also an extremely powerful factor. Since his debut, every film of Zhang Dongcheng has been successful, especially the short-term film investment fund, which has saved him from the embarrassment of insufficient funds. This is very important. Isn't New Line Films now having to shelve the Lord of the Rings filming plan because of investment?

After the two parties agreed on a time, Zhang Dongcheng deliberately put down the work at hand and made an appointment with people from Tolkien's estate management foundation.

In the small conference room of Dongcheng Pictures. Adaman walked in with several men in work clothes.

"Smith, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Benjamin, who is the head of Tolkien's estate management foundation!" Adaman then introduced to Benjamin.

This Mr. Benjamin looks about forty years old, with a slightly fat body and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. With a refined smile on his face. He said to Zagen Dongcheng: "Director Smith, I have admired your name for a long time. Several of your films are shot very well. Even the sound engineer, I have watched it six times in a row, and I have different feelings every time!"
