Chapter 651: Cooperation
Lingxiao Pavilion is really not bad for money, so it has been moving continuously recently, acquiring several scattered small theater chains, and investing in many film and television works at the same time.
In order to enhance its influence, otherwise, it is obviously not enough for a company to rely on Lin Xiao alone.
"Huaguo Partner" and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" were also announced.
The former Nan Ke took over, although Nan Ke failed in commercial films, but Nan Ke's ability is beyond doubt, and the film "Huaguo Partner", Nan Ke is more suitable to direct than Lin Xiao, because this film tells the story of Nan Ke and their time.
After the big hit of "Those Years", a lot of trend-following works began to appear in the film market in Huaguo, all of which focused on feelings and youth, so there was no reason for Ling Xiaoge, who created "Those Years", not to continue to keep up, and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" became the first choice.
Chen He finally began to take charge on his own, directed by Chen He in "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love".
opened three movies at the same time, and two of them can be regarded as big productions, which can be regarded as a major breakthrough for Ling Xiao Pavilion.
Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, the movie had not yet started filming, but the publicity was about to start first.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao's fame is there, after experiencing "Dark War" and "Those Years", Lin Xiao is already a rising director in the Chinese film and television industry, and among the younger generation of directors, no one can compare with him.
In addition, this time "Huang Feihong" Lin Xiao abandoned his previous martial arts and started anew, which is also a big gimmick in itself.
At the same time, the actor found in "Huang Feihong" turned out to be the little-known Wu Tian, which is even more puzzling.
An original movie like "Once Upon a Time", rather than a movie adapted from a popular IP, actually needs a star more, but the result is that the first actor of "Once Upon a Time" is the least famous.
This has to make people suspicious.
However, in addition to the male protagonist, the configuration of "Huang Feihong" in all aspects is really enough to make countless directors envious, jealous and hateful.
In terms of costume design, "Once Upon a Time" found a god who has won numerous awards and is good at Republican-style clothing design.
The soundtrack is looking for a top soundtrack master who has won the Academy Award for Best Score.
Action director, although the Wu family gang is not the top, but in terms of martial arts, there is no doubt about professionalism.
In terms of photography, he is also a god-level photographer......
It can be said that except for Wu Tian, who is not famous, everyone else is the top in the circle.
Of course, for Lin Xiao, "Once Upon a Time" is definitely a huge challenge, because this movie, unlike the previous two, according to the preparation of the film, when the crew is at most, there can be more than 1,000 people, which is definitely the largest crew controlled by Lin Xiao so far.
The investment in "Once Upon a Time" is not too high, but it is definitely not low, because this is not a 3D movie, but a 2D movie, and the investment of 150 million in "Once Upon a Time" in a 2D movie is definitely not small.
And the reason why Lin Xiao chose "Huang Feihong" is not only domestic.
"Kung Fu Panda" has been set for the end of the year.
Lin Xiao believes that this will be a key to open the door to the foreign film market, and although "Kung Fu Panda" is an animated film, it is an out-and-out kung fu film.
The negotiations with the Wu Family Gang were unusually smooth, and in the end, Ling Xiao Ge won 40% of the shares of the Wu Family Gang.
Of course, the filming of "Once Upon a Time" did not start so quickly, this is an action movie after all, although everyone is not required to be like Wu Tian, who has good kung fu, but there is still training that must be had.
Therefore, before filming, Wu Tian and Wu Fa were also responsible for training the actors for two months.
After all, it is really not easy for an actor without martial arts skills to shoot a good martial arts scene.
And in these years, there are not many actors who are really proficient in martial arts.
"Kung Fu Panda", after nearly two years of production, has basically come to an end.
The dailies were also edited.
In fact, the plot of "Kung Fu Panda" is not too simple, after all, this movie is actually said to be a kung fu animation, but in fact, it is more funny and cute.
Lin Xiao has seen the sample film, it is very good, although there are some plots, it seems a little naïve, but this is a cartoon, what else do you want?
In terms of action design, "Kung Fu Panda" and "Once Upon a Time" are also two completely different styles.
Well, this is nonsense, "Kung Fu Panda" is an animal fight, "Once Upon a Time" is a human fight, and it would be hellish if it could be the same.
Although there is still some time before the official release of "Kung Fu Panda", the publicity of the warm-up in advance is about to begin.
In China, "Kung Fu Panda" will become the first film to be released independently by Ling Xiao Court.
And abroad, especially in the North American market, the distribution of "Kung Fu Panda" was finally handed over to the Dick Group.
Yes, it's that Dick Group.
This is also something that can't be helped, the previous incident of Sanle Animation has greatly affected the business of Dick Group in China.
Landley also resigned.
Dick Group is eager to open up the situation, but Dick Group entered the Chinese market relatively late, and those Chinese film and television giants basically have other partners in North America.
Especially in the overseas market, it is the second largest film box office in the emerging world, and it is a must for North American film and television companies.
Well, that's not the point, the point is, the Hollywood movie giants, which one is good?
It's not that Sanle and Lingxiao Pavilion didn't want to find other Hollywood giants to do distribution, but the conditions offered by the other party were extremely harsh.
Either it was a buyout with a very low price, or it was a sky-high price for the issuance share, which Lin Xiao couldn't accept at all.
Of course, there is another point, that is, "Kung Fu Panda" is not favored by them.
At this time, the Dick Group extended an olive branch, and the conditions offered were also very good, although everyone had dirty before, but in business, Landley, the president of Asia, had resigned, so there was not so much tension between the two sides.
Ling Xiao Ge needs an overseas partner, because in the future, not only "Kung Fu Panda" will be released overseas, but "Once Upon a Time" will definitely need to be.
Although the Dick Group can be said to be the bottom of the Hollywood giants, in North America, the Dick Group cannot be underestimated.
Dick Group's business in China has been greatly affected by the previous mistakes of Landley, so it is also in urgent need of a powerful partner in China.
Although Lingxiao Pavilion is still slightly lacking in theaters and distribution capabilities, it is already the best choice for Dick Group.
So the two sides hit it off, and from the previous hostile relationship, it suddenly became a partner.
