Chapter 833 Finally Waiting for You, Ten Billion Scripts
Bite!
Zemeckis and Fox sat in an office.
In this, in addition to them, there are several senior executives of Fox Films.
"It's coming!" Zemeckis slapped his thigh and smiled.
Fox, on the other hand, was much more cautious.
It didn't take long for four scripts to appear in the hands of everyone present.
"You are all professionals, and you have been in this business for so many years. Tony, you contributed twenty movies to the company that sold money. Lisa, you have chosen classic IPs such as Fantastic Four and X-Men for us. Jack, the most profitable script we have right now is your pick. "Now, I want all of you to show your best professionalism and help me identify these three scripts." ”
"I want to know if these four scripts are worth a year-long play between me and Zemeckis!"
"Understood, boss. Several people began to read the script.
The more I read, the more wonderful the look on their faces became.
Meanwhile, Zemeckis and Fox are watching.
Zemeckis was watching the cartoon that Xu Yuan had mentioned to him. The three scripts Xu Yuan said did not include this cartoon, but Zemeckis attached great importance to this cartoon because he felt the classicism of this story.
"I must shoot this film, this will definitely break Disney's monopoly on animated blockbusters, definitely!" Zemeckis watched enthusiastically, and the script in his hand is called "Mars Needs Mother".
It's definitely a top-notch story.
"Yes, as long as the special effects keep up, the story is not inferior to any of Disney's masterpieces. Tony also gave his professional advice, "But there is a problem, that is, how to ensure the animation special effects?"
Zemeckis was stunned.
Technology is different from art.
Art can be hard to beat, even if it is a casual stroke, there can be 10,000 ways to interpret art, mainly depending on whether people recognize it or not.
But technology, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, there are hard indicators.
"It's simple. Fox laughed, "We can make it with Disney." ”
"What?" Zemeckis shook his head subconsciously, he didn't want anyone to limit his play during filming, it was a terrible feeling.
In the year of cooperation with Xu Yuan, Zemeckis didn't learn anything else, but he felt seven or eight points of the feeling of God on the set when Xu Yuan was filming.
Because Xu Yuan's movies are often invested and produced by himself, he is the boss, and he has the final say on everything.
Being able to make these good movies is not unrelated to Xu Yuan's state.
Many directors are not actually without talent, but their talent is limited. Even in Hollywood, many directors only have the right to shoot and not edit.
Let's ask, is the movie made like this still the movie in the director's mind?
At this time, the director is just a shooting machine, just a tool man.
And not an artist.
Such a movie has no soul, at least not the soul of the director.
"Look a little more open, Zemeckis. "We're going to start three productions at the same time, not four, and if we don't have other companies to help us share the financial pressure, we may not have enough production funds." ”
"And the stakes are going to be so big that we probably can't afford them, you know. ”
Zemeckis nodded, but he replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Fawkes, Xu, never fail!"
As soon as he said this, the other people around him also reacted.
It turns out that these four scripts are Xu Yuan's?
No wonder it looks so wonderful.
Soon, Lisa also spoke: "Oh my God, he's really a genius, what is he going to have in his head? ”
"No one has ever dared to make a movie like this! This "The Fall of the White Palace" is simply a bombardment of the high-rise of the rice grains. Even the White Palace was destroyed, just this one brain hole, this film can be called perfect!"
Lisa gave this script a very high evaluation, and looking at the way she looked, she was even at her peak.
Fox licked his tongue, this is why this woman was able to win a series of IPs, her public relations ability and acting talent are extremely strong.
Finally, Jack also expressed his opinion on the script at hand: "Xu Yuan is really a genius director, this script is perfect, I feel that this will be a super classic blockbuster, the kind that can achieve a series in the future." ”
In particular, Xu Yuan even designed a replacement when he didn't want to act. He is a director who pursues novelty and success and refuses to shoot a sequel, so he sets up a person who is enough to replace him in terms of image and plot. ”
"Look at this hand-drawn picture, who do you think of? Xu Yuan's appearance can be used ......"
"Keanu!" Fox replied, "It's Keanu Reeves! Xu Yuan is going to let Keanu star in the sequel to his work? ”
In the end, Fox himself expressed his opinion on the last script: "This script, only the actor marked by Xu Yuan can control it, and his ability to choose roles is too strong." The script is indeed a good script, but ......"
The only thing Fox feels a little bad about is, why are these four scripts all top big productions?
How much does it cost?
One two gets four, two four gets eight, three eight twenty-one...... Dizzy!
Zemeckis saw Fox's misgivings.
"Fox, only a super blockbuster can make a super box office!" Zemeckis said, "Look at the global box office rankings, all the top ones are the biggest productions at the time, and there is no one." ”
"Even if Xu Yuan's "Forrest Gump", the investment is not small, you look at those special effects, they are all paved with money!"
Zemeckis's loud horn sobered up Fawkes a little.
That's the truth.
"Let's register all the scripts first, and keep a low profile. Your cartoon may seem to start shooting at any time, so you'd better move fast. Fox said to Zemeckis.
The latter nodded excitedly.
Four films.
If each film can harvest 500 million at the box office in Beimi, this is 2 billion! Globally, it may reach 10 billion!
Do you really think it's just four scripts?
That's 10 billion meters!
And it is accompanied by countless fame and fortune, which is enough to make people crazy!
I went undercover for a year, and I didn't do it in vain.
Especially that time, for the sake of Xu Yuan, he actually started hand-to-hand combat with Daniel, and he was beaten so badly.
It's all worth it!
"Hahaha!" Zemeckis laughed.
