Chapter 158: Have You Considered It?
Under the recommendation of the drug guide, Quincy, an executive of Universal Cinema, met the legendary teenager in Tianman.
"Hello, I'm Quincy Jones at Universal Cinema. β
Very ordinary, very ordinary Chinese teenager.
This was Quincy's first impression of He Chen.
When he came, he learned a little about it, Tianman is also a small company that has only been established for two years, and its total assets can't even reach the turnover of their Universal Pictures in a quarter, and generally this level can't enter their Universal Theater at all. When the little guy in front of him heard the name of Universal Pictures, although he didn't react on the surface, he must have been frightened in his heart, right?
"Hello, I'm He Chen. β
Lustful gringos!
This was He Chen's first impression of Quincy. Then let Asamiko, who came out with her, to inform the girls of Tianman, not to appear in the sight of this gringo.
The medicine guide had already explained to He Chen Quincy's intention, and there were four people from Universal Theater, and the others seemed to be Quincy's assistants. On Tianman's side, there are only He Chen, Zhou Zhe and Ye Jun, as well as three white and chubby translators who are fed by Tianman.
After the introduction of the two parties, the drug guide sat on Tianman's side and showed his position - the duty of the introduction has been done, and the rest is a business issue, and on this issue, Yu public and private, the medicine guide is unswervingly on He Chen's side.
"Listening to the medicine director, you are very interested in "The Grudge", do you want to change the version of the United States?"
"Yes. You should know that there is a big difference between the Eastern and Western cultures, and your blockbuster films may not be popular on our side. As good as your "The Grudge" is, I would like to make another adaptation of my country's version......" said here. Quincy smiled. "A work. Double gains, there is nothing more pleasing to you than this. β
Isn't this just fried cold rice, He Chen is very familiar with it.
In the original world, "The Grudge" was even remade three times by Hollywood, which were all very good. But the world has changed, and the company that remakes "The Grudge" is no longer the same as it used to be, and their horror films have always been known for wasting ketchup, so what can they do in the end. He Chen doesn't know either-Hollywood remakes of movies are full of convictions that the original author doesn't know.
Besides, if they shoot poorly, wouldn't it be more able to set off the classics of He Chen's original "Curse"?
"Okay, then let's say you can give more money!" He Chen replied briskly.
Quincy smiled confidently: "It's really comfortable to chat with you, we paid 500,000 to buy the film adaptation rights." β
He Chen smiled: "I'm so sincere with you, Universal Cinema won't be so stingy, right?
"I'm talking about dollars! Since you've sold the rights to the adaptation of Huaxia to Tianying Studios alone, I think that's a very fair price for you! It's just a horror movie. Quincy narrowed her sky-blue eyes, emphasizing.
"Mr. Quincy, but you need to know, too. This is a classic horror film with a return rate of up to 2,000 percent!" Zhou Zhe also emphasized.
Quincy was slightly silent and had to say. It was precisely because he saw this murderous potential that he became interested in the adaptation rights of "The Grudge".
"However, we will release "The Grudge" of Celestial Studios first, and even if we shoot it well, it will have a big impact on our box office. Quincy didn't budge, and at the same time looked at the medicine guide, "If the curse of Tianying Studio's "The Grudge" is banned from being released in North America, I will consider Mr. He's TiyΓ¬." β
After hearing this, Yao Dao shrugged his shoulders at He Chen, saying that it didn't matter.
The value of He Chen lies in the countless copyrights derived from his endless stories, and of course Tianying Studio will not lose a big one because of a small loss, and it will have a stalemate with He Chen for the North American box office share of a mere "Curse", thus losing this cash cow.
And he also believes that He Chen, who holds up Tianman with one hand and draws a comic like "Dragon Ball", which is still fighting endlessly even at the last moment of his life, will not be like a soft persimmon and let Universal Cinema handle it.
"By the way, it just so happens that the first episode of "Dragon Ball" is being screened today, or everyone will come and take a look, and after watching it, let's continue to talk. β
Quincy frowned slightly, not knowing what medicine He Chen was selling. Test screening, is it a movie made by Tianman himself?
Then he wants to see what the hole cards that make He Chen confident.
The production of the first episode of "Dragon Ball" has not been completed until now, and because it uses the most advanced technology, it has spent even more human and material resources than the three theatrical versions. However, after the initial filling of the model library, the speed of making zuΓ² will be very fast in the future.
I tried to watch it once a few days ago, but there was no dubbing at that time, just let He Chen see the effect of the animation.
In order not to let the adventure atmosphere at the beginning of the comic affect the effect of the animation, so when the animation was made, the adventure plot was accelerated, the combat content was refined, and the plot became extremely compact, far surpassing the animation effect of the original version!
He Chen was very satisfied with the effect of the animation, and it could even be said that it was far beyond He Chen's imagination.
If it weren't for the financial constraints, he would even want to redo all the works.
"Dragon Ball is one of my many manga - manga is to tell a story with paintings, and what we are going to watch now is the upcoming Dragon Ball anime from Tianman - animation is a moving painting, which does not require any actors, and tells the story completely virtually. On the way to the tenth screening room, He Chen preached to Quincy.
In fact, there is only one screening room in Tianman, but in order to satisfy He Chen's bad taste, it was named the tenth screening room.
Everyone in the animation department is already crowded into the screening room because this is the work that was born from their hands!
And other departments that have long heard of the prestige of "Dragon Ball" animation can only look at the people in the animation department with mocking faces with jealousy, and then secretly regret that when I was in college, how did I not study film and television special effects and post-production!
He Chen likes this behavior of the employees very much, which can not only increase their recognition of Tianman, but also their sense of collective honor. A love for animation. It can also make them not supervised. Just improve yourself with your heart. I try to make more wonderful animations.
There are more and more people in Tianman, and because He Chen comes less, most of them are just familiar and can't be named. Therefore, everyone smiled and nodded, and after everyone saw it, they all looked at He Chen with great admiration.
Young, golden, genius. Xiaoshuai, this is a super diamond king old five.
Many single girls kept sending autumn waves to He Chenming, and the cool dress in summer made He Chen's eyes dizzy, only seeing a piece of white flowers, and in a blink of an eye, they had come to their exclusive position in the first row.
"Chen-kun looks a little different!" Asamiko whispered, she thought about it for a long time, but the lack of words made her unable to find a word enough to describe He Chen.
"He will only be a normal person when he talks about business, and he usually ...... It's a guy who forgot to take medicine!" Yi Jingjiao had a gloomy face.
"I guess it's when I'm drawing comics and talking about business. Just like a person. Li Youyou added.
Seeing He Chen always smiling in front of him, talking and laughing with foreigners. Three people sat in the corner and whispered. He Chen glanced around just now, but he didn't notice the three people.
"What about other times?" Qiu Yun asked.
He Chen's assistants also came to watch "Dragon Ball", which is known as the world's No. 1 animation within Tianman.
"Scum!" Yi Jingjiao and Li Youyou said in unison.
"Hey, hey!" Tian Shi looked at He Chen and let out a strange laugh, several people asked curiously, Tian Shi replied: "Don't you think the teacher and that foreigner are quite compatible......?
Then Tian Shi and several girls in his team fell into discussions and delusions.
Yi Jingjiao hurriedly pulled Asamiko away from the realm of Tian Shi, this kind of realm is not something that pure Asamiko can touch. But then I thought about it, it seemed that it would be good news for her to have Asamiko as Tanmi's companion?
The curtains were closed, the lights were turned off, and the screening room fell silent, and then a few stars lit up on the wall-sized screen.
When the camera zooms in, there are seven balls, each with a different number of stars.
Then the theme song sounds.
A passionate theme song sung by He Chen made everyone listen to it passionately.
Towering mountains, strange animals, little Wukong stepped on the clouds and flew over, and Quincy suddenly realized that none of them seemed to be real people.
"These are special effects?"
"Yes, everything, including the scenery, is all 3D modeled. β
Quincy was vigilant in his heart, as a film practitioner who came out of the Hollywood Universal Theater, those backgrounds before him actually made him believe it, and he still wondered where this kind of scenery was filmed.
"It's a commercial film, it's just fighting, fighting, fighting! It's about fighting! Don't bother with it, hehe. He Chen said lightly.
Quincy's heart was already deeply shocked, and the subtle movements of that move, splashing dust, and driving the leaves could be felt even through the screen.
The use of motion capture, coupled with the action direction of the Dragon Pictures family class, makes the comic battle without a sense of reality produce a kind of oppressive force that is fist-to-flesh!
This collision of muscles, as well as the mysterious kung fu of China, can be said to be the favorite of Western people!
After watching the first episode of "Dragon Ball", everyone was still unsatisfied, and their hearts were still immersed in the tense battle, beating violently.
An animation that will only be thirty minutes long makes them feel like watching a two-hour action blockbuster!
The kind of excitement that has disappeared for a long time, watching martial arts movies when I was a child, appeared on them again!
He Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, refreshing!
You can see this level of animation, and the value of those money spent!
"Mr. Quincy, let's move on to the adaptation rights now...... Let me explain in advance that I have a lot of copyrights that are even more wonderful than "The Grudge" and "Dragon Ball", and I will only cooperate with sincere partners for a long time, have you considered it now?"
He Chen looked at Quincy calmly.
Quincy frowned, crossed his fingers with his hands, tapped his index finger lightly on the back of his hand, turned his head sideways and whispered a few words to a few companions next to him, and then said to He Chen:
"Mr. He, please allow me to think about it. (To be continued......)
