After eight consecutive days of continuous work, Shen Huan did not feel tired. He was planning to go back to Lin'an the next day.
But he didn't expect that after sending Feng Yushou away, he would receive another call.
The call was from Cui Zhong, saying that the great American director Kronberg was promoting a new film in Guangdong. He heard that Shen Huan was in Guangdong and wanted to meet him.
Kronberg is the director who bought the song "Tears in Heaven" last year.
His movie used this song and it was a great success. Americans said it was a song made in heaven.
Even the single with "Tears in Heaven" also sold extremely well. In about half a year, it brought Shen Huan and the Guigui band a net income of more than 6 million US dollars.
no way.
The copyright protection of songs in the United States is much stricter than that in China, and even a single can be released as an offline EP.
And they are very good at playing tricks.
For the song "Tears in Heaven", they asked Shui Qingshan to sing three versions in total, and all three versions were very popular.
Shen Huan naturally liked a director who knew how to appreciate music and was willing to work with Shen Huan, who was not well-known in Europe and the United States at the time.
After agreeing to meet with Kronberg, the boy turned on the hotel computer and checked Kronberg's information.
This great American director is 53 years old this year, which is exactly the age when a director is in his prime.
He started out with a small-budget thriller, and then directed adventure films, action films, literary films, and even animated films.
Kronberg is able to master all of these genres, and he shoots them very well, and his box office reputation is basically a double success.
He is also known as Hollywood's best storyteller.
In more than 30 years of filmmaking, Kronberg has only a small number of directorial works, with an average of none every two years.
However, after last year's art film, there was another action film "The Lost Boys 3" released in late July this year, which was quite fast.
Of course, some of the action films were filmed at the beginning of last year, and the remaining year and a half was spent on post-production. Taking advantage of this time, he directed a small-production art film, which was a break from his busy schedule.
The "How to Get Away" series is Kronberg's classic masterpiece. Although the third film has already begun to sell out, due to its excellent storytelling ability and Hollywood's powerful special effects capabilities, it won the award as soon as it was released. It achieved a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth.
In China, it was only released for two weeks and ten days, and the box office reached more than 500 million. There is no way to compare with Chinese movies of the same period.
It is precisely because of such good results that Kronberg made a special trip to China, both for publicity and for more emotional contact.
His first stop was in Guangdong.
Unexpectedly, the day he was doing promotion in a theater in Guangdong Province happened to be the day after Shen Huan was doing promotion in the Adidas flagship store in Guangdong Province.
Seeing Shen Huan's popularity, Kronberg certainly had some ideas, so he found Shen Huan.
Early the next morning, Shen Huan met Kronberg at a famous morning tea shop in Guangdong.
Kronberg was accompanied by his assistant and two other Chinese.
The middle-aged man who was thin but full of energy, Shen Huan had seen on TV, was none other than Zhou Dou, the president of Weibo Film and Television.
Zhou Dou is not simple. Even though Shanhai.com is so popular now, in the movie industry, he is a real character like Optimus Prime.
Since he entered the film industry as an apprentice as a teenager, Zhou Dou has built a huge film empire in the film industry for nearly 40 years.
In the past ten years, he has entered the TV drama industry and changed Weibo Films to Weibo Films, which is very ambitious.
When she remembered that he was the boss of the Southern Department and this was Guangdong, Shen Huan was just surprised and then understood.
When a great director like Kronberg comes to Guangdong, of course he has to come out to entertain him.
The scale of Weibao Film and Television's 600 theaters and 3,000 screens makes it worthwhile for Kronberg to associate with him.
"Haha, hello, Teacher Lu." Zhou Douxian smiled and greeted Shen Huan, "I heard that you were coming over, so I shamelessly joined you for dinner. You don't mind, right?"
"How could that be? Boss Zhou, you are being too modest." Shen Huan was also very polite.
"Originally, I wanted to treat you to a meal, Mr. Lu, in the past two days, but you're so busy, so I'm a little embarrassed." Zhou Dou said, "This is also taking advantage of Mr. Kronberg's face, so we can finally sit down." Let’s chat.”
"Okay." Shen Huan said with a smile.
"Mr. Shen." Kronberg also extended his hand and said, "I also went to watch your finals live. I have to say, you are really an outstanding genius! Even Michael, his dominance on the court is greater than I don’t want to fuck you!”
"Thank you for the compliment." Shen Huan shook hands with him and said, "But compared to Boss Qiao, I'm still far behind."
"No, no, no, if you keep playing, you will surpass him in less than ten years." Kronberg sighed, "What a pity, you will never appear in the NBA again! "
Shen Huan smiled and said nothing, and did not answer his words.
After everyone exchanged greetings and sat down, the waiter skillfully brought one small cage after another, which contained exquisite Cantonese breakfast.
Just by looking at Kronberg's skillful use of chopsticks, you can tell that this is not his first time eating these.
"Hmm, China's food has always been so good!" Kronberg praised while eating, "I have never had such good food in the United States. Every time I come to Guangdong and Shanghai, , Lin'an, Rongcheng and other places, I feel like I'm back home, back to the paradise of delicious food!"
When foreigners come to China, they actually have a routine.
Praising China's 5,000-year history is the best.
If you don’t know anything, then praising China’s food will definitely make Chinese people smile.
But Kronberg is not just talking politely. If you look at the empty small cages in front of him gradually piling up, you will know that they are indeed very tasty.
"Mr. Kronberg has come to Guangdong a total of 7 times, and I accompanied him every time." Zhou Dou said casually beside him, "He is very knowledgeable about our Chinese food and culture, and he often serves him abroad. We, the Chinese people, are a true friend."
What he said meant something, and it served as a reminder to Shen Huan.
In fact, Shen Huan had also seen this matter on the news.
Abroad, Kronberg not only always said that China is very good, but also angrily criticized those who were prejudiced against China many times.
Shen Huan liked people like this very much.
