Chapter 393 Lions Gate
Young people don't know worries, they are romantic all over the world, they don't know the rivers and lakes are far away, and they are far away from home.

This is what I said, everything is good in my own home, even if there are troubles, in my own home, there are people who are well-connected and familiar with the way, and it is easy to solve the troubles.

But if it is about going out of the house, it is a step, and it is also a road to the end of the world.

The end of the world is not far away, it seems to be in the sky.But the end of the world is also very close. Leaving home is the rivers and lakes, and the end of the world.

What's more, this time Han Yi is in Hollywood, which is thousands of miles away. Standing on the streets of the United States, Han Yi feels inexplicably sad.

Because of the "Immortal" matter, Han Yi had to travel to the United States in person to come here to talk about the movie's release.

Yesterday afternoon he had an appointment with Tom Oldenburg, Lionsgate's purchasing manager.

The headquarters of Lionsgate Film Company is in Santa Monica, north of Los Angeles International Airport in California. Santa Monica is the most attractive coastal city in California, and the most famous is the beach.

However, Lionsgate is not an American company but a Canadian company, originating in Vancouver.

It has only been a few years since it was built in 1997. Compared with the eight major film giants with a history of nearly a hundred years, such qualifications are particularly pale.

Not to mention the entire United States, there are thousands of large and small film companies gathered in Los Angeles alone. In the [-]-year history of Hollywood, countless companies have emerged, but most of them have disappeared in the long river of history.

However, Lionsgate, which was established only six years ago, has successfully established itself in Hollywood and has become one of the more powerful companies outside the eight major Hollywood companies.

Lionsgate relies on independent films, especially horror films and controversial genre films. It is with this development strategy that Lionsgate has become the most commercially successful independent film and television company in Hollywood.

However, the development strategy of Lionsgate Films is also doomed to controversy in the mainstream American film industry. Han Yi clearly remembers that the documentary "Fahrenheit 911/[-]" directed by Michael Moore last year will bring Lionsgate Films to another peak.

Although Han Yi has not experienced this era and is not an American, he knows how much impact this political documentary has had.

The most famous horror film released by Lionsgate is "Saw", and the "Saw" series has become a cash cow for Lionsgate, at least for now.

This time, Han Yi's goal is still Lionsgate. The previous "Buried Alive" was released by Lionsgate, and Han Yi and Lionsgate can be regarded as having some friendship.

Originally, according to the requirements of the competition, after the experts passed, there would be a special person to arrange the screening of the film, but that meant the final round of expert selection.

It's a pity that Han Yi's movie is a little short, and he is ranked No. 30, one place behind, so he can only choose the second way, find a film and television company that participates in this competition, so that he can participate in the final Coincidentally, Lionsgate's is one of them.

That's why Han Yi made a trip to the United States this time, otherwise it was really unnecessary. Although he was lazy, Han Yi didn't want his movie to be buried like this. After all, it was his own painstaking effort.

Of course, Han Yi came to Lions Gate not only because of the previous cooperation between the two parties, but more importantly, Lions Gate and Han Yi have the same philosophy, and they both put a lot of attention on independent films.

Lions Gate is based on independent films, and Han Yi also has the same idea.

After taking the bus to Los Angeles International Airport, Han Yi took the No. 3 Big Blue bus to Santa Monica.

It took almost two hours to arrive in Santa Monica, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning when Chen Tian arrived at Lionsgate Films.

Facing the curtain wall of the building, Han Yi tidied up his clothes, then turned and walked towards the gate.

After looking at the Lionsgate logo, he took a deep breath and walked in. It was not the first time he had been here.

"Hi, welcome to Lions Gate!" The white lady at the front desk showed a professional smile.

"Hello, my name is Han Yi, Han. I had an appointment with Mr. Tom Oldenburg, the manager of your company's purchasing department, yesterday."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The white lady lowered her head to check the computer, then quickly raised her head, looked at Han Yi and said with a smile: "Yes, here is your appointment time. Go up to the second floor and turn left. You can see the film purchase department, and there will be staff there to take you there."

Han Yi smiled and nodded, "Thank you." He took the briefcase and walked to the elevator.

"Sorry to bother you, may I ask where Mr. Tom Oldenburg's office is? I have made an appointment with him in advance." Han Yi asked a black man who seemed to be about 30 years old.

"Go straight over there, and you can see it." The black man pointed his finger.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

When Han Yi walked into Tom Oldenburg, he was already able to control his emotions. Although it was not the first time he came here, he still hoped to succeed once and for all. Han Yi didn't want to waste his precious time with These people who smell of copper are talking.

Although I have a foundation before, but in the face of money, it is a wool, especially in this capitalist society.

Of course, another very important reason is Lionsgate’s vision for film selection and attitude towards independent films. Maybe other companies will buy it, but buying it and being willing to spend a lot of energy on publicity and distribution are two different things, especially those big companies.

"Oh, dear Han, long time no see!" Tom Oldenburg looked up at Han Yi and said happily.

When the two met for the first time, Tom Oldenburg was amazed at Han Yi's age, he was too young, and he doubted whether Han Yi, a young man, could shoot such an excellent work as "Buried Alive".

At that time, he already had the intention of buying the script and re-shooting, but Han Yi's work successfully convinced him that "Buried Alive" earned Lionsgate a lot of dollars. It was very impressive.

So when Han Yi contacted him yesterday, Tom Oldenburg agreed to meet with him today to talk about the movie.

However, since it has not entered the final stage of the competition, the share ratios that have been agreed upon by the organizers cannot be counted. If it can be negotiated today, this matter still needs to be discussed.

"Two years! Mr. Tom Oldenburg still looks so healthy!"

"Haha, yes, it's been two years, and I expect Mr. Han to give me a surprise like the one two years ago!"

"Then let's go straight to the screening room!"

"go!"
