At this time, in the view restaurant, in the box of the Plum Blossom Hall, after Zhou Yu and Brad Peyton shook hands with each other, Bled introduced the two people around him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

One is the manager of the production company, while the other is naturally the escort of the Foreign Affairs Office of Huaxia Jingcheng.

Zhou Yu also shook hands with them one by one, and then sat down, this time Brad pulled over with the people from the production company, probably to discuss things about the film with him.

"Zhou, are you still satisfied with this surprise I brought you, if it wasn't for Brad dragging me, I would have come to Huaxia a long time ago. At this time, Andrew said with a smile next to him.

Originally, he had nothing to do with the great director Brad, but it was because of his relationship with the owner of the Chinese divine dog that Brad found him.

Seeing Andrew's triumphant expression, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, "Andrew, your surprise is so amazing, I never thought that I would meet Mr. Peyton before." ”

"Before, when I learned that Andrew was going to come to Huaxia, I stopped him directly, dealt with some things, and then came to Huaxia with him. At this time, Brad also explained.

At that time, he had just received the news, so he contacted Andrew and asked him to delay his trip to Huaxia.

"I think it's worth it to meet Mr. Payton after all this time. Zhou Yu said with a smile, a Hollywood director can come to China in person, which shows his sincerity.

"Haha, Zhou, just call me Brad, the three surfing dogs you raised are very famous in the United States and some other countries, and they have become stars, which is really admirable. ”

"This is the most popular and appealing dog I have ever seen, even some dogs that have made movies are not as good as these surfing dogs. ”

Brad laughed, and then said admiringly, it's really hard to believe that a Chinese man has raised a world-famous dog, and the appeal of these three surfing dogs can be seen from the rising sales of Master surfboards.

And this kind of appeal, not by appearance, not by size, but by the outstanding performance of the three divine dogs, and the skills they have, it can be said that they are a proper strength.

Those dogs that have made movies are only momentarily popular, and many people don't know their names at all, but these three surfing dogs are more famous than those dogs.

"Haha, Brad, you're just discovering now, I saw the potential of Zhou's surfing dog a long time ago. At this time, Andrew on the side pretended to smile proudly and said.

He felt that this was the most correct decision he had made in his life, and he did foresee some of the appeal brought by this surfing dog, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, and the perfect promotional video they shot played a key role.

"This is also thanks to those who like the god dog, it is because of them that the god dog has the current fame. Zhou Yu smiled and said slowly, at the beginning, there was not much media coverage of the surfing dog, and it was all because some netizens who like the dog kept forwarding it, so that the exposure of the dog became higher and higher.

Brad couldn't help but smile, "Zhou, then you have to thank me, I reposted a lot of videos of divine dogs on Facebook." After seeing these three divine dogs, he liked them, and after they became more and more famous, he also made some suggestions to the production company, and finally decided on them.

After talking to this young man who had raised a divine dog, his heart was also full of surprise, because this young man was very calm, not the slightest bit of anxiety, nor any restraint, and the communication was effortless.

"And me, I retweeted every single one of them. Andrew also spoke.

At this time, the foreign affairs officer sitting in the innermost part also raised his hand, "And me, our family likes surfing dogs very much, as well as the videos posted on Xiaoyu Weibo." ”

In the end, Brad and Andrew's eyes were on the manager of the production company next to them, "Ahem, I also forwarded it, my favorite in addition to the surfing dog, is the white fox, I and my family cried when I watched it last time." The production manager smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said.

Hearing these people's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Okay, thank you for your support of the surfing dogs and help them improve their fame." ”

"Haha, Zhou, thanksgiving is not enough, if I have the chance, I want to take a photo with the divine dog. Brad said with a laugh.

"It's a little thing, no problem, and I promise to meet your requirements. Zhou Yu waved his hand and said indifferently.

After some jokes, the atmosphere of the whole box also became pleasant, and everyone became familiar with each other, at this time, Brad said with a smile: "Zhou, I want to talk about the purpose of my coming to Huaxia this time to meet you." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and made a gesture of please, although he had already guessed it in his heart, he still had Brad say it.

"Zhou, I now invite you, I hope that the three surfing dogs, Huzi, Dabao and Xiaobao, can join the third movie of the upcoming cat and dog war, which is the purpose of my coming here to meet you. Brad looked at Zhou Yu and said expectantly.

Hearing the words from Bled's mouth, Zhou Yu showed a hint of surprise on his face, he guessed that Brad was here to find a god dog to make a movie, but he didn't expect them to want Huzi and Dabao Xiaobao to join the movie.

Brad Peyton, who directed the second part of Cats and Dogs a few years ago, failed miserably at the box office, but in the following years, some of the films directed by this man have achieved good results.

The second part of Adventure to the Center of the Earth and the collapse of Doom both achieved a global box office of more than $300 million.

At that time, the first and second parts of the cat and dog war were filmed ten years apart, but now they are thinking of filming the third part of the cat and dog war, perhaps some of the reasons are that they have seen some of the abilities of the surfing dog.

"The three surfing dogs you raised, judging from the video, each of them is full of spirituality, Huzi's leadership temperament, as well as Dabao's steadiness, and Xiaobao's naughtiness, each with its own characteristics, it is precisely because of this that it is more popular with everyone, so I think if they join this cat and dog war, it will definitely make the whole film more interesting. Brad continued to tell Zhou Yu about the film.

Although many animal movies are made using computer technology, movies like Cat and Dog Wars are different from other animated movies, and the last box office fiasco illustrates the problem.

Now it's just a matter of needing some well-known actors to join, and in recent times, there have been no cats and dogs more famous than the surfing dog.

"The cat and dog war is what I watched when I was a child, and it can be said that there are strong childhood memories, so I also hope that the next cat and dog war will be even better, if there is a chance, of course I will agree to let the tiger they join the filming of this film, I don't know how long this movie has been prepared, you must know that the box office of the last cat and dog war ended in a fiasco. ”

Zhou Yu didn't agree to a Hollywood appointment like others, the shooting of a movie is not so simple, although he wants Huzi to join, but he doesn't want to make a bad movie.

He still remembers in his heart that when he was a child, in the DVD machine, the surprise and excitement when he saw the first cat and dog war, it was a happy memory that can never be forgotten.

However, the second part did not bring any more surprises, perhaps because of his age, but there are also some reasons for the plot, but in general, it can still make people find some memories, but these memories and feelings sometimes can't be turned into box office.

The first cat and dog war, with an investment of 60 million US dollars, achieved a box office of 200 million US dollars, and the second part invested more than 80 million US dollars, and in the end, even the cost was not returned.

Brad looked at the manager of the production company next to him, a middle-aged man with glasses, he leaned towards the table, and then said: "Mr. Zhou, the year after the release of the second part of Cat and Dog Wars, we began to consider the possibility of the next sequel, but this fiasco made many people in the company, including some investors, not optimistic about this movie, so it has been delayed." ”

"During this long period of time, the plot creation about the cat and dog war did not stop, and during this long time, we thought of many interesting ideas, determined the direction of the plot, and the next way of shooting, but as for when to shoot, there were many contradictions within the company. ”

"And the popularity of your surfing dog has made the company have some ideas, coupled with Brad's strong suggestions, and we have communicated with some investors, modified some plots, and temporarily determined the shooting schedule of the third part of the cat and dog war. ”

The middle-aged man lifted his glasses and continued: "Because what we want to use is the influence and popularity of your three surfing dogs in the world, especially in China, which is an important factor for us to consider, so your three dogs are an important part of the whole film." ”

He is not arrogant because he is a person from a Hollywood production company, because he knows that the whole company knows that whether this movie can be filmed or not is on Zhou Yu, if there are no three world-famous surfing dogs, this movie basically has no reason to shoot.

Because of the last fiasco, many people don't have any hope for this third movie, it is the divine dog from Huaxia that makes them see hope.

Moreover, through some exchanges just now, he knew that the young man in front of him was not so easy to fool, and some other star actors in Huaxia would have agreed to it as soon as they heard that it was a Hollywood blockbuster, and even some were not paid.

Hearing the words of the production company manager, Zhou Yu nodded lightly, now the Huaxia film market is extremely hot, and a film of more than 100 million yuan was already earth-shattering before, but now, as long as you shoot one with your heart, you can exceed 100 million casually.

Just like the Warcraft movie released some time ago, the global box office is 430 million US dollars, of which Chinese audiences contributed more than 220 million US dollars at the box office, more than half of the global box office.

It can be said that the Chinese audience saved this movie, and there is some news that if Warcraft shoots a sequel, it may give up on releasing it in the United States, but instead create this movie for the Chinese market wholeheartedly, which shows the importance of the Chinese film market.
