Best Movie Star

Chapter 712: stubbornly refuse

Frankly speaking, James Wen never thought that Ray Warner was the chief operating officer of Dimen Pictures. Of course he understood that Ray Warner had good intentions. The two were both friends and partners. Also dissatisfied with the empty check from Lionsgate, he provided the idea, and Ray Warner wrote that script.

As for Steve Stabler in front of him, James Wyn has seen many such people in the past few years.

The strangeness that flashed on the other's face at first, he knew it was due to his appearance and skin color, and Hollywood has never eliminated unfair treatment in this regard.

Compared to these, the arrogance hidden in the words doesn't really matter.

After all, the gap between the two sides is here. In front of Dimen Pictures and Weinstein Pictures behind it, he is indeed a small director.

Ray Warner looked at James Wing, wondering why his friend suddenly became silent. Such an opportunity has always been what they have been looking forward to. After leaving Lionsgate, if they can establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with Dimen Pictures, their future will undoubtedly be much better.

Steve Stabler gave James Wyn a strange look. From the time he agreed to meet this time, he hadn't considered whether the other party would agree to this issue, because the two sides were not on the same level at all.

Dimen Pictures is like reaching out and pulling them at a critical moment, shouldn't they grab this hand quickly?

"Chainsaw" was indeed very successful, but "Dead Silence" received a very mediocre response. Why didn't Lionsgate give James Wen a chance? That's not without reason.

The production budget of this project is only 500,000 US dollars, and the big guy behind Dimeng Pictures became interested after seeing it. Otherwise, as the COO of Dimen Pictures, how could he come to see James in person- Two little people like Wen Lei Werner?

James Wing didn't think about it for too long.

If it was before he met Matthew Horner, Dimen Pictures offered an olive branch, he would definitely rush out to catch it with the most grateful attitude, but now...

A person who is willing to treat him equally, is willing to delegate power, and invests without hesitation is more suitable as a partner than a person who is arrogant and discriminatory.

If nothing else, just what Matthew Horner said in the afternoon, who would consider this Steve Stabler? Isn't that harassing yourself?

Besides, Matthew Horner's reputation in the circle is well-known, which is much better than the domineering Dimen Pictures and the Weinstein Pictures behind it.

Based on what Dimen Pictures has done in the past, who knows if they will become the second Lionsgate Pictures and only give a bad check? ..

With these considerations, James Wen no longer hesitated, and said to Steve Stabler with a serious face, "I am honored to be invited by Dimen Pictures."

As soon as this was said, Steve Stabler laughed, thinking that James Wing agreed.

But Ray Warner is different. He has worked with James Wing all the year round and is very familiar with this typical Eastern euphemism.

"This is to refuse."

With such a realization, Ray Warner was about to persuade, but James Wing pulled him quietly first.

Ray Werner swallowed the words he was about to say out of years of trust.

James Wen said with a very polite smile, "I also very much hope to cooperate with Dimen Pictures, but..." He changed his voice, "I have found an investor and promised to cooperate with each other."

Hearing this, Steve Stabler raised his eyebrows and said subconsciously, "Have you considered it, James? Opportunities to cooperate with Dimen Pictures are not always available."

"I am very grateful for the attention of Dimen Pictures." James Wen said with great certainty, "but I promised that others will do it."

Steve Stabler frowned and said, "Your project, invested and produced by Dimen Pictures, and then handed over to..." He emphasized, "Weinstein Pictures released, you know How rare is such an opportunity?"

James - Wen of course knows that Weinstein Pictures is a leader in the independent film circle, with very strong distribution channels and operational capabilities.

But these are not enough to attract him.

Ray Warner looked at James Wen in astonishment. He really couldn't understand. The strength of Weinstein Pictures is now far higher than that of Lionsgate. The benefits of working with such a company are too great for them. Now, why is James Wen so determined to refuse?

Strictly speaking, he and James Wen are also in the independent film circle, but the production is not a literary film, but a low-cost horror film. Weinstein Pictures is almost the upper limit of the film companies they can reach.

With such companies not cooperating, could James Wen find six major companies as partners?

Ray Warner doesn't quite believe that it would be possible if it was placed before "Dead Silence", but the less successful market response of "Dead Silence"...

James Wing said politely at this time, "I'm sorry, Mr. Stabler, I already have a partner."

"Okay then." Steve Stabler, holding his own identity, didn't bother to talk nonsense with such a small director, and said, "I wish you good luck."

After speaking, he didn't say more, stood up and turned to leave.

Dimen Pictures is a very powerful company among medium-sized Hollywood film companies. It is busy with business all the year round. Since they cannot cooperate, Steve Stabler does not have to waste time and energy on two little people.

"James!"

As soon as Steve Stabler left, Ray Warner couldn't wait to ask, "What the **** are you thinking? Now rejecting Dimen Pictures, where will we find such a good opportunity in the future?"

He was inevitably disappointed, and scratched his hair with both hands, "You know what? We missed the best chance!"

"Ray, don't get excited." James Wing said quickly, "You listen to me first, okay?"

"You said it!" Ray Warner took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing his excitement.

James Wenlian gestured and said, "I've found an investor and a production company." Seeing what Ray Warner looks like now, he didn't give a **** and spoke a little faster, "I'm going to Disney Studios this afternoon. Met with Matthew Horner to talk to him about our new project, and Matthew Horner's studio number 13 will be the producer of the new project."

Hearing this, Ray Warner calmed down a bit, but then asked, "Studio Thirteen? A small shell company? It doesn't seem to have the ability to distribute?"

If you want to make it purely, he and James Wen can also make up the production cost of $500,000, but the movie is never so simple to make, unless they don't want to show it, just keep it for themselves.

James Wing knew what Ray Warner was worried about, and added, "Matthew Horner personally promised me that he would give me the maximum power on the set, completely non-interference in our shooting and production. In addition, he will The film was pushed into six major company-level distribution channels.”

Speaking of this, he emphasized his tone, "That's the big six companies! Is the distribution capability of Weinstein Pictures comparable?"

Ray Warner's eyes widened, "Does Matthew Horner really say that?"

"Really!" James Wen nodded again and again, "Matthew Horner's reputation is very good."

"I know that," Ray Warner said, still having doubts. "But when it comes to independent films, Weinstein Pictures is the best..."

James Wing couldn't help laughing and said, "Ray, you're too narrow-minded." He leaned back in his chair, "Matthew Horner has worked closely with companies like Disney and Warner Bros., his work It is easy to push into the distribution channels of these two companies, since it may be released by one of the six major companies in the future, why should we operate as a suffocating independent film, why is it not a commercial film?”

Ray Warner thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

James-Wen added, "You think Studio Thirteen has a short history and a small scale. But have you ever thought about how glorious the "Twilight" that Studio Thirteen released last year? Look again Dimen Pictures... No~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even the Weinstein Pictures and the Weinstein Brothers behind them are counted. The films they produced and distributed have so far won the best box office. North American box office?"

"It seems to be "Chicago"." Ray Warner thought for a while and said, "The North American box office is about 70 million US dollars."

"What about Twilight?" James Wing said without Ray Warner, "It's time for us to step out of the narrow circle of independent films."

Ray Werner nodded slowly, if there is a better future, who wants to stay in this kind of small circle.

James Wen is not stupid, he can see clearly how to choose the most beneficial, "Ray, the current Matthew Horner, which one is better than Weinstein's contacts, resources, reputation, status, and financial resources. Poor brothers? Some are far above them!"

"Okay!" Ray Warner also made a decision, "We'll work with Matthew Hoan to go to his Dimen Pictures, a bunch of slanted rubbish!"

On the other side, Steve Stabler got into the car and instructed the driver to drive, and immediately made a phone call to explain the general situation.

"The director of the Chainsaw series doesn't want to work with us?"

Hearing the question from inside, Steve Stabler said quickly, "BSS, James Wing has found a new partner."

"who is it?"

Steve Stabler was stunned, "I didn't ask."

"I didn't ask." The voice was obviously unpleasant, but he quickly said, "Okay, Steve, you don't need to worry about this, I'll find a chance to talk to James Wen later."

"Okay." He said a few more words and quickly hung up the phone.

It sounds like the big boss of the family is a little bit attached to James Moden's horror project.
