Chapter 587: Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha

"Xiaoyou will work hard, beat Du Sauce, you also have to pay attention to your body, you can't take any more risks. ”

"yes, I see. ”

Saying goodbye, Don finally completed the transatlantic call with Yu Aoi.

He was also helpless.

Since the shootout that shocked the world on Saturday night, Don has been "harassed" by all kinds of phone calls this weekend, which is called concern, but in fact it only brings him irritation.

Los Angeles police reported that it was Tang Ensheng who captured the rioters, but the details were not disclosed.

It inevitably aroused the curiosity of many people and inquired about the details.

How does this make Don answer?

It can't be said that I was scared stupid at the time, and I couldn't turn around, so I could only rush hard, right?

You can tell the truth with Natalie, but with others, you're going to gag.

There are too many calls, and I am naturally irritable.

On Monday, after Don went to work, the Japanese side heard the news again and began to offer condolences.

Fortunately, Yu Aoi was well-behaved and obedient, and did not dwell on the topic of "capturing thugs alive", but instead talked about a lot of changes in her recent situation.

She seems to be the eldest sister of the Burning Office, and wherever she goes, everyone is watching.

Top-of-the-line equipment, nanny cars, assistants, agents, bodyguards, nannies, everything, living in the most exclusive apartments in the city, but also in the suburbs of Nagano Prefecture, with a full-day/this top-of-the-line Japanese-style villa, every weekend, go there to rest.

These days, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Even a few presidents, when they saw her in the company, they completely lost their past arrogance, and they were polite like subordinates. In this case, even if it is the top celebrity of Japan/Ben, it is impossible.

Many fellow artists don't know what is going on behind Aoi Yu, but from the attitude of the senior management of the firm, they can tell that the current Aoi Yu has climbed to a high branch and soared!

Hanging up the phone, the corners of Don's mouth curled slightly, and his expression was satisfied.

First, because Aoi You's daughter has a lot of flattering words, she is sweet and greasy, and her voice is crisp to the bones, and she is worthy of being a generation of voice actors.

It is estimated that her life has changed too much, she feels the amazing influence of Done, enjoys it, and wants to catch Donn, a Hollywood bigwig, from the bottom of her heart.

The second reason is that Tang En is very satisfied with the president of the Burning Office, Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

This person is really amazing!

Not only did he provide Yu Aoi with the best artist treatment in just half a month, but he also bought the top Japanese-style villa in Nagano Prefecture with great determination.

This kind of villa has no price!

As the president of the Burning Office, Zhou Fang Ikuo is the number one god in the Japanese/Ben art industry, and he can also do it himself to arrange life for Yu Aoi.

Giving Tang En face like this, almost bearing the burden of humiliation, is indeed a person who can do great things!

It's no wonder that in just 30 years, he has dominated the Japanese/Ben art world.

Don quickly thought of the Japanese/Japanese film "Iwo Jima Family Letter" that he wanted to invest in, and it was an opportunity to deepen the cooperation.

With a population of more than 100 million, Japan's economic conditions are superior, and the protection of intellectual property rights is the best in the world!

Not to mention piracy, not even counterfeit money.

This is definitely the market that New Global Group needs to focus on in the future.

For example, Netflix's streaming business, IMAX cinema promotion, Blizzard games, movie peripherals...... This is definitely the biggest profit point outside of the European and American markets.

Of course, if Zhou Fang Yuxiong can cooperate, Tang En will dominate Hollywood and Japanese entertainment in addition to the trend, which is also a good choice.

Donn contacted Warner Bros. president Alan Horn about working with Clint Eastwood on the adaptation of the book Flags of the Fathers: The Heroes of the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Alan Horn was not so happy and said, "Clint has always been a partner of Warners. ”

Although this old man's movie is not profitable, he is famous enough and is a pillar of Warner.

Is this being poached by New Universal? Or is it teaming up with DreamWorks?

Alan Horn was not satisfied.

He agreed with Eastwood that Warner would continue to invest in the next movie and support him in filming "Million Dollar Baby".

Tang En also briefly said his thoughts, "2005 is the 60th anniversary of the world's anti-*** victory, and it is necessary to launch an anti-war film as a gift and as a reflection. ”

After inquiring and learning about the situation, Alan Horn learned that they were going to disassemble the book "Flags of the Fathers: Heroes of the Battle of Iwo Jima" into two parts, the United States and Japan, and make a "joint movie" from two perspectives, and he was immediately interested.

After a brief consultation, Alan Horn made a final statement and said solemnly: "Warner can temporarily shelve the next project and develop the two films "Flags of the Fathers" and "Iwo Jima Family Letter" first. ”

After a pause, he said unquestioningly: "However, Warner wants to participate in the investment!"

When Don heard this, he almost laughed.

I can't ask for it!

The two movies "Flags of the Fathers" and "Iwo Jima Family Letters" are not very profitable.

In the previous life, the two movies invested a total of $110 million, but the box office was miserable.

"Flags of the Fathers" invested $90 million and grossed only $65 million, while "Iwo Jima Family Letters" invested $20 million and only grossed $68 million.

Even if there is a budget for the Ministry of Defense, don't think about generating profits within three years.

It has to go through many years of long-term copyright operation.

The main reason why Don rushed to invest was that he didn't want to see "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Departed" fight in the ring at the Oscars.

Now, Warner has offered to be the backbiter, and of course he readily agreed.

In fact, for Donn, the best interest is that he only invests in "Iwo Jima Family Letters", and lets DreamWorks and Warner jointly invest in "Flags of the Fathers".

The movie "Iwo Jima Family Letter" made a lot of money, but it couldn't make up for the big hole in "Flags of the Fathers".

However, this idea only flashed through Donn's mind for a moment, and then he ruled it out.

is also a war film, the reason why the budget of "Iwo Jima Family Letter" is so low, in addition to the low salary of Japanese/Japanese actors, the main reason is that the "big scenes" that need to be built with a lot of money are all borrowed from the scenes in "The Banner of the Fathers".

These two films must be bundled and customized, and cannot be split.

Still, Donn and Alan Horn got enough of the benefits - the right to publish!

"Flags of the Fathers" is a big production, with more large-scale scenes of war, costing $90 million, and has the prospect of being a big hit. "Iwo Jima Family Letter" is too shabby, telling the story of a group of Japanese/local soldiers, and there is little market space at first glance.

So in the battle for the distribution rights of the two films, Don took the initiative to "back down", and he only asked for the global distribution rights of "Iwo Jima Family Letter" and the global distribution of "Flags of the Fathers", which was handed over to DreamWorks and Warner Bros. to operate.

Soon, Donn and Alan Horn came to an agreement.

Universal Pictures, DreamWorks, and Warner Bros., each responsible for the $30 million investment, and applied to the Department of Defense for a military budget of $20 million to $30 million, investing in two films, "Flags of the Fathers" and "Iwo Jima Family Letters";

DreamWorks is responsible for the North American distribution of "Flags of the Fathers", Warner Bros. is responsible for overseas distribution, and Universal Pictures is the global distribution rights for "Iwo Jima Family Letters";

After removing 10% of the distribution costs of the two films, Universal Pictures, DreamWorks, and Warner Bros. will each get 30% of the profits, and the remaining 10% of the profits will be divided between Spielberg and Eastwood, the rights owners......

The cooperation of the three companies, Don and Alan Horn, was quickly determined after 10 minutes of calling.

There is no need to think about DreamWorks at all.

As long as they don't squeeze the interests of DreamWorks, they have no chance of refusing.

After getting Alan Horn on the phone, Tang En called Zhou Fang Yuxiong, "President Zhou Fang, I am very satisfied with your arrangement of You-chan. ”

"Mr. Walker, you are so polite, this is what I should do. Zhou Fang Yuxiong was as humble as ever and polite.

It's hard to imagine that the person on the other end of the phone is a person with a status in the Japanese/local entertainment industry, far higher than Donne's status in Hollywood.

Tang En smiled: "We haven't been in contact for a long time, but it's an instant hit, especially when you introduced me to a daughter, I'm very satisfied." Well, I'm going to join forces with Warner Bros. and DreamWorks this year to make a Japanese movie. When the time comes, you have to count in your heart. ”

"What?" Zhou Fang Yuxiong was shocked and changed his voice a little, "You want to make a Japanese/movie?"

"That's right. Don smiled, "The investment will be between 2 billion and 5 billion yen, and I need a lot of actors." In addition to Ken Watanabe, there are also many male actors, as long as the acting skills are passed, the newcomers are no problem, and I plan to hand them all over to your burning office. ”

Zhou Fang Yuxiong gasped.

2 billion to 5 billion yen?

Damn, it's really a big Hollywood boss, it's heroic!

How much can it cost to make a Japanese movie?

This has to be a huge amount of money than the Chinese martial arts blockbuster "Hero", right?

The external promotion of "Hero" costs 30 million US dollars, and in fact, there are many Japanese dramas ...... the crew of "Hero".

Zhou Fang Yuxiong has also heard that the actual cost of "Hero" will not exceed 15 million US dollars!

Now, Don wants to invest in filming a Japanese/Japanese-themed blockbuster, isn't this going to compare "Hero"?

In the past few decades, Japanese films have been far ahead of China, but with the death of Master Akira Kurosawa and the strong rise of Director Zhang, Chinese films have a tendency to surpass Japanese films.

Not to mention anything else, just a masterpiece "Hero", it is impossible for any Japanese/Japanese director in this era to shoot it!

With Hollywood's help, the problem is solved.

No matter how good Director Zhang is, can he be better than Done Walker?

"Great!Mr. Walker, I thank you so much!" Zhou Fang Yuxiong was very excited, "By the way, what kind of subject matter?"

"War. ”

"War?" Zhou Fang Yuxiong's face was miserable, he was about to cry, and his voice was trembling, "No...... It can't be World War II, right?"

Don smiled: "Yes, it's World War II." ”

"Mom!"

Zhou Fang Yuxiong's eyes rolled.

Almost vomited blood!

Filming a Japanese/Japanese movie about World War II?

Director Walker, you want to slap all the days/myself, right?
