Chapter 141: Chainsaw

"Donne, Donn, I'm a reporter for the Los Angeles Entertainment Channel, can I ask you a few questions?"

Tang En, who came to work early in the morning, didn't expect to meet entertainment reporters at the door of the company, but fortunately, there were not many people.

"Yes. ”

"Disney and Fox adjusted the schedule of He at the same time, and the schedule of the collision, do you have any countermeasures for this?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows and remained silent, "Sorry, I haven't received any news yet." However, the schedule has been confirmed, and fans can go to the theater on time to watch it according to the date posted on the poster. ”

The reporters' eyes lit up, and Tang En's postponement of the first half of the sentence didn't need to be listened to at all, and the second half of the sentence was the point.

Don is hard enough to resist the suppression of Disney and Fox and fight his way out!

Anyone who knows a little about the market can understand that Tangen Pictures is being targeted by large companies.

"I heard that Donn Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox have a conflict?"

Twentieth Century Fox has been our best partner for the past three years, and we've worked together on a lot of great films. ”

"What about Disney? Disney's media have been keen to report on your affair in the past few months. Reputedly...... They deliberately adjusted the movie schedule and wanted to suppress it. ”

Don's face was indifferent, "I'm sorry, Disney, I don't know much about this company." But...... My name is Don and it's a movie that I directed!"

Looking at the back of Don En leaving, reporters were all wondering about the meaning of his words.

Don't know much about Disney?

Disney's name is famous all over the world!

Don't...... Is he disdainful of Disney's little tricks?

……

Donn went straight to Bill McNick's office, "Bill, is the president of Rage Pictures decided?"

Rage Pictures, also known as Rage Film Studios, is a newly established subsidiary of Down Pictures, specializing in the production and distribution of low-budget films such as horror films and thrillers.

Bill McNick took off his reading glasses, got up and sat down on the couch with Donn, "I thought of a man who was one of my former men, Glenn Mogan. ”

"Fox's people, I'm afraid it's not easy to dig. Don frowned.

Bill McNick shook his head, "He used to be a creative officer and producer in the production department of Fox TV, and he has made many excellent TV series, including and, and is especially good at creating suspense in ordinary stories, which fits the structure of a thriller very well. ”

"And now?"

Now he has withdrawn from the TV drama circle and mixed with the film industry. Bill McNick glanced at Donnie with a smile, "The first film he produced and wrote as a producer was. ”

"It turned out to be him!" Tang En suddenly realized, "Can you dig it up?" It was a big success, and New Line Pictures would probably have to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. ”

Bill McNick smiled and waved his hand, "Even if we are entrusted with a heavy responsibility, how high can the position be? We are the president of Rage Pictures! And he used to be my subordinate, and he has a relationship." ”

Don slapped his face, "That's it...... Since it's the opening of a new company, I'm going to make a movie myself, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift to Rage Pictures!"

Bill McNick had a little envy in his eyes.

Young people are just good, with unlimited energy!

Look at Donn's recent work, to prepare, to promote, to prepare for the Cannes Film Festival, and now suddenly he has the idea of making a new film.

Fortunately, low-cost horror films don't consume much energy.

Back in the office, Donn ordered Ella Fisher, "Go and call a few screenwriters, who are good at writing suspense and thriller plots." ”

Ella Fischel suddenly thought of the book that Donn asked her to write, and was stunned for a moment, "Donne, you...... Are you going to write a new book?"

Tang En smiled: "What kind of new book to write, is to write a script! I don't have time to write it myself, tell them the story, let them figure it out." ”

"Oh. Ella Fisher nodded in a daze, "What's your name?"

“!”

"Horror?"

Don smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, this has nothing to do with you, let's write it!

"Go, Mr. Hill went to Asia yesterday to personally negotiate the film rights for this game. ”

"Well, that's good. ”

……

MA's agency has finally sent back the news that Asian-American director Ann Lee has agreed in principle to work with Tang En Pictures as the director.

However, he is now busy promoting in Asia, and at the end of April, he will return to the United States to talk to Don Pictures in detail.

Donn wasn't in the mood to argue right now, so he handed over the negotiations to David Heyman, who was the executive producer and the pioneer of the project.

The projects that Donn was keen on at this time were:

Rage Pictures is said to be an independent subsidiary, but in fact, like Marvel Studios, it has very little jurisdiction and works in the same office building as Don Pictures.

Don Pictures has more than $10 million in remaining funds, and directly injected $5 million into Furious Pictures, which is the first film of Furious Pictures.

Estimated investment ...... Between $1.2 million and $1.5 million.

Glenn Mogan, the president of Rage Pictures, gave four names: Wes Craven, George Romero, Paul Anderson, and Huang Yiyu.

Wes Craven, the godfather of American horror films, is the director of the film, with a salary of no less than $2 million;

George Romero, a master of horror films, has classic and legendary works, and the salary is not low;

Paul Anderson, a British sci-fi film director, specializes in suspense small productions;

Huang Yiyu, the director, is popular.

Bill McNick meant to hire a big-name director, after all, it was the first film from Berserk Film Studios, and it was better to be an instant hit.

Glenn Mogan's suggestion was Huang Yiyu, they had just worked together and it was doing well at the box office.

Don gave a surprising answer.

"Since they are masters, let them lie honestly in the credit book, what we need is an obedient director who can make movies honestly according to the requirements of the script. ”

"Huang Yiyu, forget it,...... The reason for the success is completely due to the brilliant setting of the script, and the director did not show his personal charm. ”

"Bill, when I watched the Super Bowl, I watched every commercial carefully, and a few of them were particularly good, such as the Mercedes sedan. The dark tone vividly expresses the heaviness and atmosphere of the Mercedes-Benz. ”

Bill McNick was sitting next to Donn at the time, surprised why he was so interested in advertising, but he didn't expect it...... He's focused on advertising directors!

"Don, this ...... Isn't that too risky?"

"No, I said, as long as you shoot honestly according to the script, even if you are a newly graduated director college student, you can present amazing results, don't forget, it's my creativity!" Don En patted his chest, his face was a little more proud, "I hope that through the low-budget B-grade films of Rage Pictures, I can provide an outstanding group of directors for Tang En Pictures!"

Bill McNick understood what Donn meant, and he wanted to discover Donn's own director.

As long as the conditions are not too bad, then the director cultivated by Tangen Pictures will definitely be the most important partner of Tangen Pictures in the future.

Tangen Pictures and Disney and Fox are fighting for connections and strength, and they must be at a disadvantage, and this way to win over a group of filmmakers may be the way for Down Pictures to fight their way out of many obstacles.

"What's his name?"

"Zack Schneider. ”

Looking at the blankness on the faces of Bill McNick and Glenn Mogan, Donn explained with a smile, "I checked him, he is a very thoughtful director, keen on bloody, violent, and action themes, but he has never been given the opportunity to shoot MTV and commercials for ten years. This time, I'm going to give him a chance!"
