The timeline was slightly different from his previous life. Hollywood movies started to develop after World War II and reached its peak in the 1960s.
At that time, 90% of the world's movies were produced in Hollywood, which was a cultural export to the world.
60-80 It was also known as the " Golden Age of Hollywood."
During the heyday of North American entertainment, the most representative were musical-themed films and music.
As a result, a trend of musical films was set off around the world.
Song of the Rain was a classic among classics, a regular in the prehistory 10.
Every time a movie maker mentioned the " golden age," their words were filled with yearning and pride.
To them, this was the perfect combination of artistry and entertainment!
The directors and film makers born in the golden age had always been immersed in the glory of the past. Naturally, they looked down on the new generation of directors, special effects films, horror films, and other films that pursued sensory stimulation.
The most common term they used was: There was no artistic element at all.
Once Xuan's post was sent out, its influence wasn't limited to Hollywood. The entire North American film and entertainment industry was completely shaken!
If he was just a nobody or a young director with some fame before this, then he would have been able to become a famous director.
Now, everyone in the North American entertainment industry knew him.
Xuan's attack on film critic Roger Ebert unintentionally caused a wave of AOE damage!
It was as if a director from Thailand or India had come to the Chinese film industry.
He said that he wanted to make a traditional kung fu movie to pay tribute to the golden age of Hong Kong.
In an instant, Xuan's Weibo was tagged and commented on by film critics, directors, and media.
Of course, the tone of these people was not very friendly.
Even the CEO of Legendary Pictures couldn't sit still and called Xuan overnight.
"Mr. Drake, you're still up so late.”
"Chu, how can you sleep? Are you really going to make a musical?"
"Otherwise, I've already said it.”
"But…"
Joe Drake couldn't say it directly.
He couldn't tell Xuan that musics were the pride of Hollywood, the name card of North American movies.
Do you know anything about musics and you dare to film them?
Now, there are countless eyes staring at your flaws!
If there was anything wrong with the picture, they would be covered in saliva!
Xuan could hear the other's hesitation. He asked curiously,
" Is there a problem with the musical?"
Joe Drake sighed." No problem. It's just that…you should try your best to polish it. Don't be anxious.”
They hadn't even talked about a collaboration for the new movie, so Legendary Pictures wouldn't lose anything even if the movie was ruined.
It was a pity that Xuan was about to become the public enemy.
Xuan could hear the distrust in the other party's voice, and his tone became much more polite.
"Mr. Drake, it seems like we can't work together for the new movie?”
"Uh…our film industry has no precedent for musical films. You can try it at other companies. In the future, if there were any horror films, sci-fi films, or novelty films, the doors of Legendary Pictures would always be open for you.”
"Yeah, we'll see."
Xuan hung up.
From Joe Drake's tone, he caught a hint of the arrogance of a North American film maker.
It seemed that musical-themed films had a much higher status in this world than in his previous life.
It was as if it was some kind of sacred area that could not be violated.
But the American director had also released musical-themed films in recent years, right?
Mamma Mia, Beauty and the Beast, King of the Circus
These were all musics released in the past two years.
Why could they film it but not him?
To discriminate against Chinese directors?
A cruel smile appeared on Xuan's face.
He wanted to get serious and use the method that the other party was best at to defeat the other party!
Completely shut the mouths of these high and mighty white people!
Since that's the case, I've decided on you!
《LaLaLand》！
The Chinese name was La La Land!
In Xuan's eyes, La La Land was an excellent movie, not a perfect one.
There was no such thing as a perfect movie in this world.
However, the pinnacle of musical films in Parallel World, Song of the Rain, was a low-profile version of Song in the Rain.
That 'La La Land' was enough to bring down the dimensions!
Let them broaden their horizons!
……
Paranormal Activity was in its sixth week of release, and apart from the lack of screenings in the first week, it had been the box office champion for the rest of the week!
At this moment, the box office earnings had reached 190 million USD, which was the same as in his previous life!
All the cinemas in the United States and overseas channels had applied for an extension, so it was only a matter of time before the movie broke the 200 million box office mark!
The other film companies were already numb to it.
What kind of investment could earn 15000 times in a month? It was much faster than robbing a bank.
Xuan was also named the youngest billionaire by the Los Santos Times.
Countless media outlets were lining up to interview Xuan, including heavyweight media outlets like Vanity Fair and Time Magazine.
However, he did not have a manager and did not disclose his personal contact information.
The media could not find him no matter what.
He even called Legendary Pictures, but Xuan used the excuse of producing a new movie to shirk the responsibility.
Not only did the media not give up, they were even more curious about Xuan's new movie.
How was he going to film a musical?
Could the people of the Dragon Country, who had not experienced that era and did not understand North America, really understand?
Many media outlets were already considering secretly following and reporting.
Xuan wasn't accepting interviews because he was really busy.
After earning 110 million USD recently, Xuan registered his own film company in Hollywood.
Anyway, he was not short of money now!
He still had many movies to shoot in the future, and he couldn't rely on the help of the distribution company for each one.
After the film company was established, the majority of the projects were taken by the producers themselves.
The distribution company would only take up 30% at most, and there was even a chance to negotiate with 10%.
The production of La La Land only cost 30 million USD!
Xuan didn't hesitate to make 'La City'!
Even if other companies knelt at the door and begged him, they could forget about getting a share of the profits!
Other than the film company, Xuan also established a management company. He hadn't even hired a manager before signing himself and Elizabeth Olsen.
That night, the two of them had dinner at Robuchon, the most luxurious restaurant in Los Santos. Then, they listened to the musicians in a guitar bar.
"Why did you want to bring me to listen to the music?”
Elizabeth Olsen asked sweetly.
"To prepare for the musical. The new movie is related to the music of the night.”
"I see." Sister Ao was slightly disappointed.
Recently, Xuan had been busy setting up a company and had finally found time to go on a date with her.
After she became a slightly famous movie star, the number of film offers gradually increased.
However, Aomei did not give any answer. She was not short of money now anyway, and she had not found a suitable script.
What she wanted the most was to play with Xuan.
"Oh, right." "Why did you sign it without hesitation?" Xuan suddenly asked. He could have signed with a stronger agency. We've just been established, so we might not be able to give you good resources.”
" Because you're here…" Elizabeth Olsen muttered..。
