Busy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to April 18th.

April 18th is the launch day of Superstar Pictures, the movie "Tomb Raider: Origins".

Li Wenxing held the launch conference of the movie in Xiangjiang, after all, there is still Shaw Brothers Company, plus Galaxy Imaging under Star Entertainment, which can be regarded as a three-party co-production.

It's just that Li Wenxing himself did not go back to Xiangjiang, and is still presiding over other affairs of the company on the side of the United States.

If you want to talk about such a major matter, Li Wenxing didn't show up, including the follow-up shooting of the movie, he didn't care about it, and there was no one with a big heart.

In fact, Li Wenxing also has his own considerations.

First,

Regarding the filming of the first half of the plot of "Tomb Raider", he actually doesn't need to stare at it personally, those small scenes, but any director with similar skills can complete it very well, not to mention that he also sent Tang Shuxuan back.

secondly

Compared with staring at the filming of "Tomb", it is more important for the development of Superstar Pictures to preside over the preparation of the next few other films of Superstar Pictures, and to talk about the movie "Rocky" delivered to the door.

That's right, just three days ago, when Li Wenxing was about to return to Xiangjiang, he happened to meet Stallone at the door of the company who came to the door with the script of "Rocky" to look for investment.

This is simply a man sitting at home, and money comes from heaven,

"Rocky", this is Rocky, the best representative film of the dream of the United States, a classic commercial film case with a small fight, if it wasn't for the fact that I just happened to bump into Stallone, I would almost miss it.

Although Li Wenxing always remembered the movie "Rocky", it is a pity that he does not remember when "Rocky" was filmed, so he did not include it in the priority planning sequence.

Now it is Sylvester Stallone who comes to seek investment in person, which can be said to be a big luck.

At the same time, he also reminded Li Wenxing that some things need to be planned earlier, rather than step-by-step, and then worry about them when they encounter them.

As a result, while Li Wenxing was talking to Stallone about "Rocky", he also instructed his secretary Carla to focus on setting up a vertical investment department, which was responsible for collecting the entire Hollywood, and all the list of movies that lacked funds.

In this way, as long as there is a lack of funds for any movie, Superstar Pictures can receive an investment application from the script party, and with Li Wenxing's advanced memory advantage, as long as a good movie script is handed in, it will not be missed.

As we all know, most of the production process in Hollywood is that the screenwriter writes a book, and then invests it in various film production companies to see which company is interested in investing, and if so, they will talk about cooperation, or directly sell out the script.

And this kind of production form of submitting scripts to attract investment can almost be said to be tailor-made for Li Wenxing.

In the world, it is estimated that there is no one who can compare to his investment vision.

Although it is not necessary that the movies that will be famous in later generations will definitely be box office hits, and even because of the same script, different directors will be filmed and different actors will be played, and the finished films will not necessarily be the same.

But this is a matter of probability, compared to investing in other bad movies that are not famous at all, it must be safer to invest in these famous movies that can become popular in the mainland in the future.

Even if these movies are filmed, after their release, the box office of the movie really failed, such as the movie "The Redemption of Xiao Shengke", although it is very famous, the box office of the year was very bad, so bad that it did not return to its original cost.

However, you can also earn back the investment cost through other ways, including the additional income obtained from the award of the film, and the future video tape rental, as well as the future online fee viewing, which can make a lot of money.

Even if you take a step back, you will still lose money in the end, and you can also expand the copyright library of the film company, and in the future, a little loss will be completely negligible for Superstar Pictures.

What's more, a movie that can leave an impression in Li Wenxing's mind can't be so bad, and his aesthetics are really not that bad.

Back to "Rocky",

After three days of negotiations, in fact, Li Wenxing deliberately hung Stallone for three days.

After all, even if he is optimistic about "Rocky", it is not good to show strong interest on the spot, which will fall into passivity in the next cooperation negotiations.

In short, after negotiations, it was finally determined that Superstar Pictures was willing to invest $1.2 million in the production of "Rocky" and hire Stallone as the first actor.

In exchange, Stallone had to sign an add-on agreement, and under normal circumstances, he would have to continue to star in the follow-up series of "Rocky" or face high compensation.

This is basically the same as the additional agreement signed by Claire, Leslie, and Camilla, and it is also the usual routine of Hollywood studios.

Otherwise, when "Rocky" is a big hit, and then wants to make a sequel, it will be Stallone's turn to hang Superstar Pictures.

In this way, after signing a contract with Stallone, Li Wenxing asked Carla to arrange the filming of "Rocky".

However, the heroine candidate was intercepted in advance, and Li Wenxing planned to use Liu Ruoyu to play Adelian.

Although Liu Ruoyu and Stallone, a muscular man, played the on-screen couple, Li Wenxing's heart was a little nervous.

It's just that when I think about it again, it's fake after all, if you want Liu Ruoyu to take the movie star route, then there will be this stubble after all, Li Wenxing will be relieved, and then all the intimate scenes will be on stand-ins.

And "Rocky" is definitely a luxury ride, just give Liu Ruoyu a ride, she can make her a hit, it is definitely a wise choice.

Relatively speaking, "Rocky" is just a low-budget movie, the story, the scenes, are very simple, and the shooting will be very fast, it is estimated that it will be filmed in three or four months.

Coupled with post-production, it can be released in October at the latest, but it is ahead of "Tomb Raider".

In addition, after Li Wenxing sent Stallone away, he remembered one thing, this guy starred in a love movie a few years ago,

In the original history, when Stallone's "Rocky" became popular, the producer of that erotic movie was directly released for the second time, and it made a lot of money.

Including later entering the Internet era, some people hung that movie on a small website and used it as a seed for people to download, which can be said to have completely ruined Stallone's image.

Perhaps, I should buy that movie back.

If the cooperation between the two sides is good in the future, everything is easy to say, it will be pressed under the box as inventory.

But in case the other party does something moth, you can take it out at the right time or force or disgust him.

Thinking like this, Li Wenxing directly instructed Ovitz downstairs to deal with it, anyway, Stallone has now signed a contract with the Innovation Star Agency and is already an artist under his name. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
