Verse 198: Busy
Since "The Terminator" was dropped, Duane has slowly faded out of the media page, but after last night's nomination ceremony, he immediately came back in full swing.
"The youngest nominee for best director in history", "8 nominations for "Flying Over the Asylum" lead the Huabiao Awards", "Will the youngest best director be born", "China Film Academy stretched out his face and was beaten, giving 8 nominations", "Eye-catching, Wang Jiawei lost", "The victory of young people is from Lu Chuan and Du An's view of the development strategy of China Film Academy", "Zhu Qian was nominated for the second time as an actress", "Jia Hongsheng was a prodigal son and finally nominated"......
The newspaper on September 1 was basically swiped by relevant information, and overnight, "One Flew Over the Asylum" replaced "2046" to become the undisputed biggest hit of this year's Huabiao Awards, but I don't know how many awards it can take away from so many nominations at the awards ceremony?
But no matter how you guess, it's useless, you still have to know when the time comes, so Duane doesn't care about these things, and enjoys his rare vacation with peace of mind, learning to drive every day, then cooking, wandering around, and drawing the characters of "The Lion King" in his spare time, and during this time, the box office dividends of "One Flew Over the Asylum" also fell.
"One Flew Over the Asylum" received a total global box office of 1.35 billion worldwide, 630 million in China and 720 million overseas, after deducting taxes, theaters, theaters, costs, etc., Duane got a total of about 150 million in these 1.35 billion, which made his waist stiffen, and he was not so panicked: his "Liberation Day" has been dragging on, firstly because he has a lot of things to do, and secondly, because he has no money, now that the money is in place, "Liberation Day" can start filming at any time.
And Duane found that he was really a little cheap: he had thought about taking a good rest, but he really rested, thinking that there was a movie waiting for him to shoot, and he couldn't calm down, and he always thought about "Liberation Day" when he had nothing to do, thinking about which actors to use. How to shoot and so on.
He put it down to his own toil, and he couldn't be idle.
Not to mention that he doesn't have time to travel, even if he has time, it is estimated that he is looking at the snow-capped mountains and meadows in his eyes when he travels abroad. I was still thinking about my own movie.
However, before "Liberation Day", there was one more thing that needed to cost money, and that was the acquisition of Xuanji Technology.
After procrastinating and negotiating for nearly a month, Feng Kang's side finally negotiated all the things, and finally. Industrial Light & Magic got a 70% stake in Xuanji Technology from Tomorrow Technology for 13 million, including the diluted partnership shares when recruiting talents in the future.
Du An went to Hangzhou, signed an acquisition agreement, and made a special appointment with Shen Leping, the head of Xuanji Technology.
In order to relax the atmosphere, Du Ane specially made an appointment to meet in a quiet and chic tea house, and he was dressed very casually, and as soon as Shen Leping came, he knew that he was still a little more solemn.
Shen Leping was dressed in a black kung fu suit, his hair was very long, shoulder-length, and scattered. also made small waves, and a pair of round eyelets were put on the bridge of the nose, and at first glance he was a pure literary and artistic youth and artist, full of commotion.
has done art design, done game project planning, written novels, worked as a director, and ran a magazine, this is Shen Leping, judging from past experience. It is true that this head is more engaged in technical work, and it is no wonder that he has such a strong literary and artistic atmosphere.
"Hello,"
Du An stood up to greet him, while Shen Leping chuckled and stretched out his hand to shake him. "Director Du, I've admired my name for a long time. โ
In fact, it is appropriate to call the boss, but for these technicians, Duane is still the identity of the director, which is more worthy of their admiration and title. Looking at Shen Leping's appearance, the change of ownership of the company does not seem to have any impact on him, and he still looks light.
Duane sat him down. The two chatted.
The content of the conversation mainly focused on the future business development direction and strategic planning of Xuanji Technology.
โโฆโฆ I think I still agree with your development strategy, and I will do it in the future, and I will try not to interfere," Du An's promise was given, but looking at Shen Leping's appearance, he didn't seem to be very interested in his strong support.
Duane revealed another of his plans: "In addition, I have a cartoon to make. โ
"This is a 2D cartoon, and I will find a time to have a meeting for specific things, and then you can estimate the construction period and funds and report it to me. โ
"You want to make a cartoon?"
When Shen Leping heard this, he finally reacted, raised his head and glanced at Du An, and put down the teacup in his hand, "Or 2D?"
Du An shook his head when he saw Shen Leping, "Director Du, you are all making live-action movies, and you have never been in contact with this industry, so you may not know the ecological situation in the industry now." Now in the field of animation, 2D has been declining, 3D is the future development trend, and our company is also doing a 3D animation project, has been launched, specific information, I have already made people into information, maybe you are in a hurry, you haven't seen it yet. โ
"3D project?"
Duane really didn't see the relevant project information, "What's your name?"
Shen Leping reported: "It's tentatively called "Qin Shi Mingyue", and it is planned to be a series. โ
Duane nodded.
I can't hear anything from a name, but I think the name is still a bit ancient, and it should be a traditional Chinese animation story.
"No, let's do 2D,"
Duane thought for a moment and said, "Two projects to do together. โ
In the process of investigating Xuanji Technology, Duane also learned about Xuanji Technology's technology, some of which are 3D products.
In Duane's view, the 3D technology of Xuanji Technology is still rough, after all, the development time is too short, and if it is used to make "The Lion King", it will greatly reduce the project. Rather than that, it's better to stick with the old technology that is ripe and so on to fully show the charm of The Lion King.
Whether it is 3D or 2D, it is a technical appearance, and the connotation of the product is the most important essence.
As for 3D technology, let "Qin Shi Mingyue" go to explore the way first, if through this project, the technology of Xuanji Technology has developed well, then future projects can also be done with 3D.
"Okay. โ
Shen Leping responded for the time being, but then his face was embarrassed and he said another difficulty: "But there are not enough personnel......
Duane waved his hand angrily, "Then expand and recruit people." You can just make a report to me, and if money can solve it, it's not a problem. โ
As of now, "Terminator" has been fully lowered at home and abroad, with 1.213 billion in China and 1.47 billion overseas, totaling 2.683 billion. Duane himself has calculated that the dividends he can get in the end are initially estimated to be a little bit worse than 300 million, and these money will continue to arrive in the inland in the next few months.
There are hundreds of millions of foundations, and he is now very confident, and he has taken out the trench when he just got the dividends last year to acquire Industrial Light and Magic.
And Shen Leping on the other side looked at him, a little dumbfounded: This character who has recently been making trouble in the media is setting records one after another, no matter how you look at it, he is a future star in the film art industry, he should be full of artistic cells, melancholy eyes, and rich in philosophy between words, why is it that when he looks at it now, he is completely a Shanxi coal boss?
However, Du An is the boss, so Du An has the final say, Shen Leping pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but just responded to this matter.
After the two chatted casually a little more, the meeting was over.
Du An's stay in Hangzhou for a few more days, held a few meetings, and established some matters of the "Lion King" project one by one, planning to go back in a few days, and then go back when everything is determined Now there is a shortage of personnel, so he can only set the project first, and then recruit people to open a group, and then he, the chief director, needs to come back to participate in the work, before that, he can still be lazy.
But before he could go back, the news that he was now in Hangzhou was exposed.
He has been in the limelight recently, so many pairs of eyes are staring at him, so his quiet appearance in Hangzhou this time was also photographed by the media, and he even dug out the following things, knowing that this may be the youngest Huabiao Award Best Director is here to buy a company, and even the company's information has been dug up by the vast media, so a new round of craze has been set off.
Some people said that Du An's business was not serious, and he was not a good director, so he came to buy the company, but immediately the media broke out, it turned out that it was not the first time he did not do his job, as early as last year, he acquired a special effects company, and this animation company was already his second industry; some media dug up the poor performance of Xuanji Technology, saying that he had a bad business vision, and concentrating on making a good movie was the right way; and some media speculated that it was very likely that he would buy an animation company because he wanted to make cartoons, and he looked at history to know that he was filming last year"Terminator" acquired a special effects company, so the acquisition of an animation company this year is obviously to shoot the rhythm of cartoons......
