Chapter 736: Lucas's Resentment

In Liu Lang's previous life, the total global box office of "Vulgar" exceeded 200 million US dollars in the end, but that was in 93 years, and now it is 87 years, a difference of nearly six years, and the box office of 120 million is almost worth 200 million six years later.

Lucas vs Quentin?? Tarantino is full of praise, and it seems that he regards the other party as his successor, but Liu Lang knows that they are two styles of directors, and there will definitely be nothing in common. What will Tarantino be like if he directs "Star Wars", and it will be a disaster if Lucas directs "Django Unchained", and Liu Lang can see that Lucas is also a little selfish.

Although the project "Vulgar" was the first to be invested by Liu Lang, it was later assigned to the Shengtang Film Company, then Lucas is the first person in charge, Ye Jinsheng's Shengtang Company is in full swing, of course he can't be compared, "Vulgar" is a great success He also has a share, not to mention that the entertainment program "American Voice" is expected to earn 30 million US dollars in the end.

"Vulgar" is likely to exceed 30 million at the US box office alone, and there is no problem with the global box office of 50 million, coupled with the later video sales, the revenue of more than 100 million US dollars directly left the "American Voice" far behind, which of course overtook Ye Jinsheng.

In the United States in the 80s, it was normal for entertainment programs to not be able to withstand the box office of movies, because the film industry had already matured and became the most extensive entertainment project in the United States, the box office was guaranteed, and the development of related products in the later period was also very mature, and entertainment programs relied more on advertising fees and the sharing of paid channels.

In fact, Lucas did not include the copyright of "The Voice of America", this program was pioneered by Shengtang, and a patent has been applied, if someone does the same program in the future, then they will have to pay the transfer fee of Shengtang, just like Liu Lang's previous life, some Chinese TV stations have also done talent shows such as "Voice of China" and "The Strongest Voice", these programs are actually copyrights bought from abroad, if the copyright transfer in the next ten years is counted, the brand of "Voice of America" must be worth more than 100 million, much more than "Vulgar".

Of course, Liu Lang will not hit Lucas's morale, the fight between his subordinates will only make them work harder, he is the boss, and the most important thing is that the company can make money.

"George, I see those people surrounding Quentin, are they going to let him go to the movie!"

Liu Lang pointed to Quentin who was surrounded by a group of people in the distance?? Tarantino said.

"That's right, now he is a big celebrity in Hollywood, and many companies are beating his idea, I'm afraid his next film will be paid more than one million dollars!"

Lucas laughed.

Quentin?? Unlike Ye Jinsheng, Tarantino has a contractual relationship with Shengtang, and he has to shoot three films for Shengtang, but there is no restriction that he cannot shoot for other companies.

The profession of director is like this, if you have a script and investors to pay for it, you can hire a director, and the director can start filming if he agrees.

"Quentin?? Tarantino is a genius, we only have a contractual relationship with him, as long as someone pays for it, of course he can go, I will not refuse, but his movies have a strong personal color, not all movies are suitable for him, such as "Die Hard", which we have already set up, this movie is not suitable for him, and it is not easy for those bosses to make money from Quentin!"

Lucas was stunned when he heard this, he had never thought about it, but Liu Lang said it very reasonably.

"Liu, you even have a complete grasp of the other party's style, this is really terrible, then let me ask you, what is my style?"

Lucas asked.

"George, your style is not suitable for the drama category, you can't make a movie like "Vulgar", you are a big production and big scene, this kind of movie has a huge investment and a large rate of return, of course, the risk is not small!"

Liu Lang replied.

In his previous life, Lucas was best known for the Star Wars series of films, a total of eight films, he was either a director or producer, each of which was related to him, and he also made other films, but the influence was much worse.

"Liu, what you said is too hurtful, why can't I make a drama movie?"

Lucas doesn't agree with Liu Lang's evaluation of him.

"George, what kind of feature film are you making? I am going to make more than a dozen Star Wars series movies, with a total box office of at least 10 billion, and then you will be the first big director in Hollywood history with a total box office of more than 10 billion, this title is enough for you to win the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, isn't it much better than you to make a feature film to prove yourself?"

"I'm .........!"

Liu Lang said that he wanted to prove himself, but Lucas really had nothing to say, what to prove? In fact, it was a grudge against Oscar.

The Oscar is the highest peak of the film industry, and the highest honor for a director is the Oscar for Best Director.

Lucas's Star Wars won $700 million at the global box office, and he also won seven awards at the Oscars that year, becoming the winner of the Oscars, but among these seven awards, there were only technical awards such as the Best Effects Award, the Best Visual Award, and the Best Costume Award, and none of the heavyweight awards such as Best Actor and Best Director, or even a nomination.

The Oscar for Best Actor and Best Director has a characteristic, which is basically a drama film, and it has to promote mainstream culture, the heavier it is, the more it can resonate with the judges, as for the box office, the less the box office, the greater the chance, and the Star Wars series of movies obviously does not meet the conditions of the judges.

This is one of Lucas's grievances, a Star Wars made him a top director in Hollywood, to his level and the producers are on an equal footing, the script or something depends on whether you like it or not, you can completely ignore it if you don't like it, you have a box office and fame, if you win another Oscar for Best Director, then your life will be complete.

Liu Lang said that he couldn't make a feature film, the underlying meaning was that he couldn't win the Oscar for Best Director, of course he was not convinced, but he also knew that even if he made a feature film, he might not be able to win the Oscar for Best Director, even the movie "Vulgar" has little chance, and it is no problem to be nominated, but it is almost impossible to win the award in the end, because the main theme is not promoted, and the Best Screenplay Award is possible.

However, Liu Lang's next sentence made him very interested, that is, to build "Star Wars" into a series of movies with a box office of more than 10 billion US dollars, if he can really achieve it, then the Oscar will definitely award him the Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Now Quentin?? Tarantino is known as a ghost director, this name is quite vivid, his way of thinking is different from ordinary people, and the movies he shoots are refreshing, but the box office of this type of movie will not surpass that of big-budget films after all, George, you are born for big scenes, do your Star Wars well!"

Liu Lang patted Lucas on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, okay, you have a point, I obeyed, by the way, I read the script of "Die Hard", it's quite enjoyable, Bruce?? Willis I have already negotiated with him, the salary is 300,000 US dollars, if you agree, I will start preparations next week, and I will be able to start shooting next month!"

The plot of the movie "Die Hard" is simple, it is a matter of a policeman and a group of terrorists fighting, there are a lot of action scenes, this is a popcorn movie, the audience doesn't have to waste their brains when watching this kind of movie, it is cool from beginning to end.

The budget for this film is five million dollars, and it is barely a big production in today's Hollywood, and Lucas has to shoot it himself.
