Chapter 899: Winner in Life
James Qin is called the chosen son by many domestic online games.
Why do you say that? Because this guy was at the peak of his debut, and the first film he directed was a box office hit.
The key is his age, he is only thirty years old this year. It is not uncommon for a 30-year-old actor to reach the top, but a 30-year-old director is definitely still a young health product!
It can even be said that looking at the whole world, James Qin is a young and outrageous director.
At the age of 30, his director's salary has reached the level of 1+1, although it is not yet the top salary, but he can definitely be called a commercial director.
James Qin also has an identity that makes him naturally more popular than other Hollywood directors in China, that is, he is a mixed race, and the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang flows in his body.
Of course, the Lingxiao Pavilion masters expressed their dissatisfaction, because James Qin is indeed very good, but when it is said that he is the chosen son, the pavilion masters are happy, and Lin Xiao can beat James Qin in all aspects, not because they are the Lingxiao Pavilion masters, but also because Lin Xiao's record is stronger than James Qin.
Although "Kung Fu Panda" cannot be regarded as Lin Xiao's work, but a co-director's work, the script is from Lin Xiao, and the creativity is from Lin Xiao.
Well, even if "Kung Fu Panda" aside, the "Terminator" and "Once Upon a Time" series are not okay, and the key is that it is still a series.
Straight to the point!
Although compared to Lin Xiaolai, James Qin is not enough to see, but Lin Xiao is an exception, compared to others, James Qin can indeed be said to be the leader.
What people are puzzled about is how much it cost Tianmeng to sign James Qin's 3 film contracts, you know, James Qin, Nari Kensing, and Owen Sloan are completely different.
Nari Kensing, although he became popular with a film, can still only be regarded as a middle-class director.
And Owen Sloan, although better than Nari Kensing, but in recent years, Owen Sloan's performance has not been so good.
And James Qin is different, he really has no shortage of film contracts, because he has not failed, it is when he is popular, but at this time, he chose to come to China, and it must be the god Mani who is a hindrance.
As for what James Qin said, it is because he has half of the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang in his body, and he will fool the domestic audience, and no fool in the circle will believe this statement.
Tianmeng can really be said to have made a bloody investment, and even makes people feel that Tianmeng is a little naïve here.
Tianmeng's original intention was to let these three Hollywood directors create a series of movies each.
In other words, Tianmeng hopes that three Hollywood directors can create three series of movies for Tianmeng, what are you kidding?
Do you really think the series of movies is so easy to make?
Lingxiao Pavilion is enough to hang it, right? But the two-and-a-half-story series of movies is considered a success.
Many Hollywood giants are very hanging, but there are really not too many series of films, and that is still the foundation accumulated over the years.
To create a series of movies is to create a giant IP, especially when Tianmeng's hand is so big, it must have been bloody.
But to tell the truth, these three directors, except for James Qin, the other two are really a little unqualified, if it weren't for the halo bonus of their Hollywood director's identity, if they were put in China, in fact, they would be average.
Of course, these are all afterthoughts, and now there is only one content left in this Tianmeng press conference, that is, what is the film of the project?
Tianmeng has really been planning for a long time this time, and the first target content has made many media people nod.
Because the first project, I can't say it's super super, but it's a perfect fit.
The well-known Chinese sci-fi "Infinite Loop" has been included in Tianmeng.
And "Infinite Loop" is really famous, because this sci-fi is called the most suitable Chinese sci-fi adapted into a movie, and because "Infinite Loop" involves multiple stories, each story can be adapted into a film.
Therefore, although "Infinite Loop" cannot be regarded as a super IP strictly speaking, it also makes many people feel that Tianmeng's decision is very wise.
Because "Infinite Loop" is really suitable for adaptation into a sci-fi movie, and if it is done well, it is not impossible to make a series of films.
Narry Kensing's "The Last Showdown" is actually a film adaptation, and it is also a science fiction film in its own right.
He's good at this!
So, it's absolutely fitting that Nari Kensing directs "Infinite Loop."
Of course, there is also a problem, which is unavoidable, because "Infinite Loop" is a Chinese science fiction, and Nari Kensing is British, although there is not much difference between science fiction in Chinese and Western cultures, but there are definitely differences.
How to balance this perfectly is the key!
Then there is the second project, which is not an adaptation of a movie, but a game adaptation.
The film and television adaptation rights of the stand-alone game "Knights and Magic", which was once popular all over the world, have been acquired by Tianmeng, and "Knights and Magic" will be adapted into a movie.
"Knights & Magic" is known as the pinnacle of single-player RPGs, and has a huge number of fans around the world, although the development company of "Knights & Magic" has collapsed due to the lack of succession, but the influence of "Knights and Magic" is still there, and for many people, it is a feeling!
However, there is one point that many people doubt, because Owen Sloan's previous successful works are not movies in the magic series, so "Knights and Magic" is handed over to Owen Sloan to direct, and it is also a question whether it can be filmed well.
However, Owen Sloan said that he himself was a big fan of Knights and Magic, and that he had bookmarked and played all versions of Knights and Magic.
Of course, compared to the first project, "Infinite Loop", "Knights and Magic" knights are less risky, after all, "Knights and Magic" is a fan-oriented movie to some extent.
However, Tianmeng's investment in "Knights and Magic" is not small, and Tianmeng has paid a huge price for the film and television adaptation rights alone.
"Knights and Magic" may not be so familiar to some new young people, but it is extremely familiar to many people who have lived through that era.
The former "Knights and Magic", once the pinnacle of stand-alone games, the sales of various versions of "Knights and Magic" alone exceeded 30 million in the world, not to mention that at that time, Huaguo basically played pirated copies.
So "Knights and Magic" really has no shortage of fans, and the main plot of "Knights and Magic" itself was very respected at the time.
