Chapter 309: Video Tape Haunted

Chapter 309 of the text is haunted by the video

Next chapter

A long time ago, Wu Cheng spent money from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to buy the copyright and master tape of some old films. β†— , at the beginning, they thought that Wu Cheng had money and nowhere to spend, because many of the films Wu Cheng bought were shot in the past two years, even if they wanted to remake it, it was impossible.

Although they can't figure out why, but thinking that these rotten things that can only be put in the film library can still be sold for money, they are naturally very happy, and they have an extra amount of wealth!

As for remakes, not to mention, if you want to remake a movie, you have to wait at least one or two decades, otherwise, there is no point in remaking at all.

So, they don't care if they sell the copyright.

It was only later, because Shaw Brothers felt the threat of Donglong International, so this cooperation was naturally interrupted. Now that the video tape has appeared, even if the price is not cheap, I believe that the two old men, Shao Tycoon and Boss Zou, will definitely be able to see the business opportunities.

Yes, Wu Cheng will think so!

Who could have imagined this kind of foresight if it were not the regenerate?

Even researchers who develop video cameras are unlikely to think about whether this thing will really become popular in the future.

In fact, this thing has been developed several years ago, but it can't be popular in the market at all. One is the cost, and the other is that the technology is not comprehensive enough.

Even now, the cost is not cheap, and the technology is flawed.

But now it's much better than it was before, and at least some wealthy families can afford it and are willing to buy it.

I believe that in another year or two, those middle classes will be able to afford it.

And with the development of this thing, the underground video studio will gradually become popular. It is also because of this that pirated video tapes will gradually become popular.

This thing, although it is a way to generate revenue for the film company itself, will have a somewhat impact on the box office of the movie.

However, with the development of science and technology, the word 'piracy' will definitely emerge in an endless stream. Otherwise, the future generation will not be clamoring for the fight against piracy.

Not only in Xiangjiang, but even in Hollywood, Wu Cheng also asked DreamWorks to pay attention to some classic old films. However, it is a pity that Wu Cheng does not know much about Hollywood films, and he can provide relatively few opinions.

However, like Hepburn's "Roman Holiday", as well as the copyright and master tape of films like "King Kong", Wu Cheng still asked them to buy it.

Especially "King Kong", because this drama can be completely remade in the future.

Of course, this drama was remade as early as last year, but unfortunately the response was mediocre, and investors were as disgusting as eating a piece of Xiang. And because of this, when DreamWorks proposed to buy the copyright, they did not hesitate and directly agreed. Of course, the cost is not small.

Moreover, when he first thought of this play, Wu Cheng also thought of Peter Jackson, the fat director of this play in later generations, and then naturally thought of the movie "The Lord of the Rings".

Then Wu Cheng naturally sent someone to take down the copyright of the film adaptation of this novel.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no book "Harry Potter" at this time, Wu Cheng wouldn't mind taking the right to rewrite this novel. Of course, Wu Cheng has not read this novel, only watched the movie.

He was hesitant to write the novel.

Of course, I haven't read the original book, so I can only write according to the plot of the movie.

As for the original author, Ms. Celine, Wu Cheng can only say sorry. Maybe if you have the opportunity to meet her in the future, give her a job!

Of course, maybe people have the ability to write another great book? After all, people also have the ability to write. Who can tell the fate of life?

"Hey, where are your hands going?"

When Wu Cheng was thinking about these things, he suddenly felt a five-finger mountain attacking, and his little brother was directly imprisoned, and he couldn't help but stare at him.

was said by Wu Chengyi, the five-fingered mountain flew away like thunder and lightning, but her eyes stared at it incredulously, and then Xia Fei cheeks and said: "Brother Cheng, it's so magical!"

"Amazing you're big!" Wu Cheng glanced at her and said, "It's really terrible!"

"I'll help you!" she said suddenly, earnestly, though still shy.

"How can you help?" Wu Cheng glared at her angrily.

"Use this!" she held up her hands, "I've seen it in that movie!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wu Cheng bared his teeth and snorted: "You must confiscate it when you turn around, how can you look at such an unhealthy thing? You are a good child in the eyes of the audience, a pure jade girl! In the future, I will keep this kind of thing for you! I will watch it after you are eighteen years old!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

……

When Wu Cheng came out refreshed, there was a coughing sound from Guan Fairy in the bathroom, as if he had choked on something. When Wu Cheng saw it, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead: I still couldn't escape from the little goblin's hands!

"What are you looking at?"

When he came down from upstairs wearing a black suspender silk skirt and rubbing his wet hair, he saw Wu Chenghao sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed and reading the newspaper, so he asked.

Wu Cheng glanced at her, beckoned to him, and said, "Look at some reports about the Seven Deadly Sins...... Xiaomin, bring me the hair dryer!"

"Oh!" Zhou Xiaomin, who was sitting in front of the piano and boredly 'playing the piano', sighed and ran to find a hair dryer.

"Didn't this movie be painted two days ago?" asked Zhao Yazhi.

Wu Cheng nodded and said: "Although the painting is drawn, there are still a lot of relevant reports, the North American box office is good, there are more than 50 million, the key is that the evaluation is good, I believe the overseas box office will not be bad." ”

Wu Cheng put down the newspaper as he spoke, took the hair dryer found by Zhou Xiaomin's classmate, and then asked Zhao Yazhi to sit beside him, blowing her hair with the hair dryer.

These reports were reported by "Metropolitan Entertainment Daily", and now "Metropolitan Entertainment Daily" has a special reporter sitting in Hollywood to send the news of DreamWorks back.

Because of this, many filmmakers are becoming more and more fond of Urban Entertainment News, and many people who want to find out some Hollywood movie news from it will also read this newspaper. It was originally intended to build momentum for Wu Cheng, but it turned out to increase the sales of the newspaper.

As for the North American box office of the original "Seven Deadly Sins", it seems to be more than 100 million, but now it is directly less than half, which is obviously a normal situation. As far as the number of moviegoers is concerned, there are actually more now.

As for the situation of "Home Alone", Wu Cheng also said that he didn't understand it.

Also, "The Sixth Sense" is about to be released, because Halloween is coming.

"But because of the high box office of the company's first few films, some people can't help but jump out and laugh!" Wu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle with a hint of disdain, "They don't want to think about how much the investment in "Seven Deadly Sins" is, the investment of five million, the box office of more than 50 million, is directly ten times the return!"

Lying on Wu Cheng's lap, listening to Wu Cheng's complaints, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help laughing and said: "But you have to know that the previous 'Star Wars' was dozens of times the rate of return!"

But this is just a superficial phenomenon, you can't be so stupid!"

Wu Cheng said, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, how is the progress of the project over there in the studio?

"The main office building of the cinema has begun to be renovated and is expected to be delivered early next year. However, the building on the set needs to be built while shooting, and sometimes if there is an urgent need, it has to ......be built first," Zhao Yazhi closed his eyes and walked with Wu Chengjiao about the progress of the project, and finally said: "How did you think of designing such a building? The square building below, and the upper part is actually a larger circle, does it mean that the sky is round?"

Wu Cheng smiled and said: "There is a meaning in this regard! However, I want to build a helipad on it, which can be used for helicopter landing and landing, and it can be installed if there is nothing to do!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing that Zhao Yazhi was speechless, Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, just kidding." But I do have this idea, and you knew it when I designed it before. ”

The main building is 33 stories high, with the meaning of 33 heavens, the bottom 27 floors are gradually shrinking trapezoidal buildings, and the upper six floors are inverted trapezoidal cylinders, increasing step by step.

That is, the uppermost floor has the largest floor area. The load-bearing of the roof has to be used for helicopter lifting, as for how to solve the force problem, it is the problem of experts.

Ding dong

As he was talking, the doorbell outside the door rang, and Zhou Xiaomin, who was sitting next to the piano and watching Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi show affection, jumped up directly and ran to open the door.

Because the door of the villa is an electronic automatic door, as long as you press it lightly, you can do it.

"Xiaomin, help me open the door!"

Outside the gate of the villa, Leslie Cheung drove a car and appeared with his fiancΓ©e Wu Shulan.

"It's Brother Shizai and Sister Lan Lan!" When Zhou Xiaomin saw Wu Shulan, his eyes bent into crescent moons, and he said with a smile: "Sister Lan Lan is here to urge my brother to write a book again!"

Wu Shulan got out of the car, took Zhou Xiaomin's hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaomin still understands me!"

"Hehe, Brother Cheng is blowing Sister Zhi's hair!

Seeing Zhou Xiaomin bring Wu Shulan and Leslie Cheung in, Wu Cheng glared at Zhou Xiaomin and said, "Don't open the door casually in the future, what if you run into bad guys?"

"Little uncle, you're enough! I've been busy with filming before, and I left it alone after writing "The Legend of Little Soldiers", so I admit it. And now they still say that we are 'bad guys'. ”

"Tsk, what are you doing here! I'll educate children! Rong Shao, take care of your wife!"

Zhou Xiaomin pursed his lips and said, "I'm not a child!"

Leslie Cheung spread his hands, looking like he couldn't help, and collapsed directly on the sofa, not treating himself as an outsider at all. (To be continued.) )
