Chapter 447: There's still a lot to learn

The original Marvel layout was clearly affected by copyright.

Take Spider-Man, for example!

Zhang Pu naturally has no copyright restrictions, and its layout will not be limited to movies, comics and other related peripheral products will also be laid out.

It's a big game.

Of course, these don't need to be done by Zhang Pu alone.

He's not alone.

The impact of Oriental DreamWorks' acquisition of Warwick Pictures in Hollywood is still huge.

In the past two or three years, Chinese films have been catching up, but there is still a big distance from Hollywood.

In the impression of the Chinese people, Hollywood movies are bullish, so Hollywood film and television companies are naturally bullish. And wouldn't Oriental DreamWorks, which acquired Hollywood film and television companies, even more?

Oriental DreamWorks cow?

Really cow!

In a short period of time, it became the first film and television company in China with a market value of more than 100 billion yuan, which overwhelmed other old film and television companies.

Even in China, it has shown an invincible posture.

However, in the eyes of countless people, the real cow is not Oriental DreamWorks, but Zhang Pu.

Before Zhang Pu joined Oriental DreamWorks, this company was just one of the countless small film and television companies in China, inconspicuous, and even a film and television company that was about to go bankrupt.

Oriental DreamWorks has been able to develop to its current scale in a short period of time, thanks to the films directed and written by Zhang Pu.

Of course, the screenwriter's TV series and planned variety shows also played a big role.

In recent years, the Chinese film that has achieved great influence in the world, which has nothing to do with Zhang Pu?

Either he directed it, or he wrote it.

Isn't Zhang Pu good enough?

What's more, Zhang Pu of Oriental DreamWorks alone holds nearly 40% of the shares.

Oriental DreamWorks' acquisition of Warwick Pictures still has a great effect on the box office of the currently released "Transformers".

It's just that with today's box office popularity, it may be a little difficult to break the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" in China.

However, the North American box office was somewhat unexpected, and breaking $600 million didn't seem much of a problem.

It is not impossible that this film surpassed "Jurassic Park" and became the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the world.

Of course, if you want to top the global box office charts, it is probably not very likely.

The top 10 is not a big problem, and the top five is not impossible.

Zhang Pu's international film is undoubtedly a great success.

"Aren't you busy making Kung Fu Panda, why do you want to go to Los Angeles?" Xu Jiahui asked Zhang Pu.

"Lao Jiang, what they mean is that since they have acquired Warwick Pictures, they naturally have to make some moves. Zhang Pu said, "This time, if it goes well, it won't stay long." ”

"What if it doesn't go well?" Xu Jiahui then asked.

"If it doesn't go well, it shouldn't stay long. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "However, I'm afraid I'll have to go there every once in a while." The success of the first film has a great impact. ”

After Warwick Film was acquired, the first film hit the street, and it is undoubtedly clear who will carry this pot.

And what about success?

The credit naturally lies with Oriental DreamWorks.

Who would think that Wanhui Group is the credit?

This is undoubtedly crucial for Oriental DreamWorks to develop internationally. What's more, the first film is also related to the layout of Zhang Pu's cinematic universe.

Everything was arranged, and Zhang Pu immediately flew to Los Angeles, accompanied by Jiang Xingwen and other people from Oriental DreamWorks.

As for the handover of Warwick Pictures, it has already been completed, and even some follow-up transitions after the company was acquired have almost been completed.

Naturally, there was a change in management.

Whether it is Oriental DreamWorks or Wanhui Group, there are people who go in.

However, the current general manager of Warwick Pictures is the former vice president of Warwick Pictures, Blair.

This person is also an extremely famous producer in Hollywood. Most of Warwick Pictures' well-known films for domestic fans are from him.

Blair is now in his early fifties, his hair is a little thinning, and he is probably a smart man. Unlike many Westerners, he is not tall, even a little short, but a little fat.

Of course, Westerners are not all tall.

"He is worthy of being a two-time winner of the Academy Award for Best Screenplay. Blair smiled and said to Zhang Pu, "I believe this film will detonate the whole world." ”

"Then I'll borrow your good words. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

detonated the world, somewhat mixed with a bit of flattery.

"But how do I feel that this film is not just a series?" Blair continued.

There are easter eggs behind the script, which is a common tactic in Hollywood for filming sequels.

Jiang Xingwen showed a little surprise and glanced at Zhang Pu.

This is indeed not a simple series of movies, Blair actually saw it from the script.

He had at least briefly looked at it just now!

This guy is a bit awesome!

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Pu asked with a smile.

"Didn't Chief S.H.I.E.L.D. say that there is more to this world than Iron Man and a superhero. "The underlying implication is that there are other superheroes." ”

"You guessed right. I'm ready to create a movie world of superheroes. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

He didn't intend to hide it, and there was no need to hide it.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to share his thoughts with Blair and the others.

The heart of defense is indispensable.

He can tell Jiang Xingwen and others his thoughts without reservation, but he will not tell Blair.

Zhang Pu's trust in Blair has not yet reached that point.

What's more, there is also the experience of Sean Sommers.

The general idea, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, when it comes to the setting of those superheroes, Zhang Pu will stop at it.

Blair is an old man, so he can naturally see that Zhang Pu has reservations about him, or a lot of reservations.

But even so, he was shocked.

Even if Zhang Pu just revealed something, it was enough to make his eyes light up.

He realized that the "superhero movie world" that Zhang Pu wanted to create was probably not a fantasy, but already had a complete structure.

Even the script is much more than "Iron Man".

It's absolutely terrifying.

If every superhero film has gained countless fans.

So bring these superheroes together......

As for the rest of the scripts, Blair didn't ask.

He knows very well that after the filming of "Iron Man", the follow-up script will naturally be available.

If you don't shoot it well, some of it is false.

"You make me feel like Warwick Pictures has planned the next ten years. Blair said.

"Isn't that bad?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Marvel's ten-year layout, does Zhang Pu need ten years? This depends on whether it goes well.

"So what can I, the general manager, do?" said Blair with a wry smile.

After he became the general manager of Huawei Film and Television, he has been thinking about the company's next development plan.

He felt like he had a stage to show what he could do.

He wants to bring Warwick films to glory, and he wants to realize his own value.

But now, it seems that there is no need. His boss seems to have made all the plans for Warwick Pictures for the next ten years.

"Perfect and realize this plan!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "There are a lot of things you need to do, just like "Iron Man" needs a reliable director now. The success or failure of this film is crucial. ”

Blair nodded.

This film is the first film after Oriental DreamWorks acquired Warwick Pictures, and it is also the first film after he Blair became the general manager of Warwick Pictures.

He and Zhang Pu are just as eager for the film to succeed.

Zhang Pu naturally didn't worry about Blair's carelessness.

They are now both prosperous and loss-making.

At least for now.

What's more, Blair's role as general manager not only has an annual salary, but also profits and dividends.

Is it difficult to find a suitable and reliable director for someone like Blair?

Apparently not that hard.

There is no shortage of good directors in Hollywood, and it has a very complete system.

The right director was quickly found, and as for whether it was reliable or not, Zhang Pu had to talk to him to find out.

The director's name is Mark Favreau, a strong man in his forties.

He is a screenwriter and has directed many films before, although the box office is not very good, but the reputation is not bad.

Judging from the director's style, it is indeed suitable.

After chatting with him, Zhang Pu had to admit that Blair had a very good eye for people.

"Stay a little longer?"

Jiang Xingwen looked at Zhang Pu with some surprise, he didn't think that Zhang Pu would go back with them.

His purpose for coming to Warwick Pictures is obviously different from Zhang Pu.

"Busy!" Zhang Pu said, "Am I still busy making Kung Fu Panda?

"It was very rewarding. Jiang Xingwen said, "I have to say that the business operation here in Hollywood is much more mature than in China." ”

Jiang Xingwen came here, in addition to learning, but also talked about some future cooperation between the two companies.

Warwick Pictures was jointly acquired by Oriental DreamWorks and Wanhui Group, so naturally it cannot be an affiliate of Oriental DreamWorks.

However, the benefits that can be brought to Oriental DreamWorks are obviously not only the convenience of Oriental DreamWorks' future films to be distributed in North America.

As a leading film and television company in the second echelon of Hollywood, whether it is management experience or film production, it is worth learning from Oriental DreamWorks.

This is one of the purposes for Jiang Xingwen to bring people here this time.

"You went back so soon, it seems that you are very relieved of Blair and Mark!" Jiang Xingwen said reporter.

How important "Iron Man" is, Jiang Xingwen knows very well.

If it weren't for those two people to reassure Zhang Pu, how could he go back at this time.

"Hollywood is as strong as a cloud!" Zhang Pu said with some sighs.

Among the many directors in Hollywood, Mark is not the top, not even the first-class, but Zhang Pu has benefited a lot from talking to him about movies.

From now on, you can know how Hollywood crouches tiger, hidden dragon.

Zhang Pu has not dealt with Hollywood directors much, so naturally he doesn't know much about them.

After seeing Mark's level, Zhang Pu clearly realized that he was still a long way from those top Hollywood directors.

He still has a long way to go, and he still has a lot to learn.
