Chapter 107 on Movies and Preparation for New Dramas
At this time, Lin Feng was called back to the academy by the old dean. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Flowers and trees, fragrant grass and greenery, the old dean has his own independent courtyard in the film academy, and he and his wife usually live here, and their children have their own careers, unless it is a New Year's holiday, it is basically impossible to come back.
In the shade of a tree in the courtyard, two bamboo chairs, a coffee table, Lin Feng and the old dean sat opposite each other, talking about things.
"I didn't expect it! Everyone didn't expect it! It's a miracle that you have made such a big name in the film industry in just two years!" said the old dean with emotion.
As the student who interviewed for the art examination in person and decided to admit him, and was also his most optimistic student, the old dean naturally always paid attention to Lin Feng's development.
All of Lin Feng's achievements were seen by the old dean.
"Hehe, I'm just lucky, and I also want to thank the school for their support from all sides!" Lin Feng replied modestly.
"Don't be so modest!" the old dean waved his hand, disagreeing with Lin Feng's opinion, "What kind of luck is good? Strength is strength, if you don't have this strength, just rely on luck, you can succeed once, succeed twice, but it is impossible to be so successful every time, besides, the academy's support for you is not out of line, basically every class of directors who graduate, as long as they want something from the academy, the academy is basically the same!"
For Lin Feng's modesty, the old dean with a straightforward personality obviously disagreed.
When Lin Feng heard this, he smiled embarrassedly, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't know what he should say at this moment.
- Knock
The old dean put down the teacup in his hand, made a slight sound, then pondered for a moment, and said to Lin Feng with a thoughtful look: "I have watched all three movies you made in Hollywood, not only I have watched them, but most of the teachers in the academy have watched them, and now there is a lot of controversy in the academy about the movies you made, what do you think?"
Lin Feng's expression sank slightly when he heard this, he really didn't expect that he had tried his best to avoid the disputes between commercial films and art films in the academy, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still couldn't avoid it.
The Huaxia of this life is indeed powerful compared to the previous life, but it also has something completely different from the previous life, such as the so-called tradition!
In the previous life, after the reform and opening up, China's economic development was extremely rapid, and the national strength was greatly enhanced, but the excessive pursuit of money made countless people lost in the materialistic flow of the real society, unable to extricate themselves, and money became their only belief.
This belief also permeates every corner of China, and the film industry is no exception.
In today's world, China is a country unparalleled, and it is undoubtedly a powerful country in the world, and even Lao Mi is slightly inferior to China.
Due to the changes in history, China has not experienced the devastation of war, so that the tradition of every aspect of China is deeply rooted compared with the previous life.
The film industry is still no exception.
"Hehe, I'm still the same sentence!" Lin Feng said calmly.
"If the audience thinks it's a good movie, it's a good movie!" The old dean didn't wait for Lin Feng to finish speaking, and then continued Lin Feng's words.
After Lin Feng was forced to give a speech, his argument became one of the controversies within the academy.
"Not bad!" Lin Feng nodded calmly, to be honest, he has a very clear understanding of the development of the film industry in the future, or he is very clear about the development trend of the film industry in the future, and he is not very fond of the traditional strength in the academy and the film industry, of course, the so-called commercial film faction, he also does not like it.
It seems that the old dean called himself to his home today, and it must be because those people in the academy put a lot of pressure on the old dean.
As soon as he thought of this, a wave of irritability rose in Lin Feng's heart, this time, he was not ready to endure it anymore.
"Old dean, in my opinion, the so-called dispute between commerce and art is a ridiculous thing. Therefore, for movies, it is impossible to classify them with simple business and art, and I always believe that movies are not made for a small number of people who enjoy them behind closed doors, movies are made for the public, rather than evaluating the quality of movies from a small point of view, their behavior is actually the same as the knowledge of the family in the past, and it is the same reason that the children of the poor family were blocked, and the foolish people were their biggest purpose!"
Lin Feng said unceremoniously and sharply!
Actually, that's exactly what happened!
Whether in the past life, or in the present life, whether it is in China or other countries, the struggle for the right to speak is always unavoidable.
The controversy between commercial films and art films is, to put it bluntly, a struggle between emerging groups and traditional groups for the right to speak.
Lin Feng is very disgusted with this kind of practice of competing for the so-called righteous name, and then narrowing the righteous name and then defining others.
Is it called an art film if it is made only that experts can understand it, and only experts can appreciate and understand it?
As for whether the public can understand it or not, it's none of their business, they can avoid all doubts with a sentence of 'you don't understand', is this the so-called art film?
Of course, the so-called commercial films in China in the past life and later cannot be regarded as commercial films.
The commercial films of the previous life have developed into a demon, and the domestic film market has been severely impacted by Hollywood, and many well-known directors have also fought back, using the so-called 'commercial blockbusters' to compete for box office market share.
But are the so-called commercial blockbusters they make really commercial blockbusters?
Wrong, not at all!
Those are the things they shoot to make money, to be honest, all the fancy gimmicks in Hollywood film production in the previous life have been learned, but the real connotation, those people in China have not learned.
"I've watched all three of the movies you've made, and I found that you have a deep Hollywood style in these three movies, do you want to use razing to defeat you?"
When Lin Feng heard the old dean's question and answer, he didn't answer it immediately, thought for a while, and asked, "Old dean, what do you say about the art films of those countries in South America?"
"Huh!" the old dean was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Feng to ask this question.
The art films of those countries in South America, and the art films of the Nordic countries, are the two major art film meccas in the world, and some of the art films they shoot that reflect the social reality have made countless people in the industry talk about it.
However, Lin Feng raised this question at this moment, obviously with a purpose in it.
"If you have a fart, let it go, don't sell it in front of my old man!" said the old dean with an eyebrow raised, pretending to be angry.
Lin Feng smiled when he heard this, he knew that the old dean was faking his anger, but this question was really not easy for the old man to answer, Lin Feng continued: "No matter how lofty the so-called art films in South America are in the world film and how powerful their influence is, Hollywood accounts for 90% of the box office market share in South America!"
No matter how good your art film is, no one watches it, and the dismissive Hollywood commercial blockbusters have already taken over their box office market.
Can this be called a success?
If one day, even if the art films produced in China are recognized by everyone and win all the film awards in the world, the domestic film box office market share is occupied by foreign films.
Then no matter how many film awards the Chinese film industry wins, it will not help.
"It seems that you are still inclined to commercial movies!" said the old dean Zhengse, "but if all the commercial blockbusters in China are like the current type of fooling people, then it is better not to shoot them!"
"Can they also be called commercial blockbusters?" Lin Feng said with disdain.
Whether in the past life or in the present life, in the face of the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, there are many powerful film companies, or famous directors with outstanding reputations, who also shoot commercial blockbusters to block Hollywood blockbusters.
But the so-called blockbusters they shot are simply selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, which is not a blockbuster at all in Lin Feng's eyes.
Even, in Lin Feng's view, whether in the past life or in the present life, those companies and directors who made commercial blockbusters did not really shoot a blockbuster that belonged to China at all.
The success of Hollywood has attracted the attention of the Chinese film industry, and various successful elements have naturally become the imitation content of each family.
But they have only learned the fancy things on the surface of Hollywood, and as for the essence, they simply do not have the patience to study and ponder.
A variety of revealing shots in Hollywood blockbusters, seductive shots, ** beds. plays, hot shots, they all learned very well.
However, the rigorous plot logic and refreshing creativity in the movie are fake, but there are not too many people who really imitate them.
Because, these take time and require a lot of money.
How could those people be willing to spend time doing this, it is better to use a routine, hang up the title of a blockbuster, and make money for the release as soon as possible.
Moreover, Lin Feng gradually discovered in this life that many film companies in the world have also begun to show signs of this kind of shoddy production.
The old dean also noticed Lin Feng's disdain, smiled faintly, knocked on the armrest of the chair, and said, "Then you can analyze and analyze for me what is a real commercial blockbuster!"
Lin Fengyan's expression was calm and calm, his eyes were clear, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of the three major elements that he had just discussed with Bob a few days ago, if it weren't for the fact that he was about to invite Bob to join, he had done a lot of preparation work in advance, otherwise he might really be in a hurry when he heard the old dean's question now.
"There is no doubt that as we all know, Hollywood is the most successful commercial blockbuster at the moment!"
Hearing this, even the old dean had to admit it, and he nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Lin Feng's opinion.
"In the past few years, Hollywood blockbusters have swept the world, in fact, to put it bluntly, it has also grasped a few key points, big star lineup, big investment, big production, exciting plot, that's all!" Lin Feng said eloquently.
The old dean's eyes lit up, he looked up and took a deep look at the student opposite, he really didn't expect Lin Feng to know so much about the core of Hollywood blockbusters.
This was already a well-known concept at the time of Lin Feng in the previous life, but in this life, it still makes people feel extremely novel, even bright.
Many non-professional audiences like star effects, but they don't pay much attention to some important factors such as directors and screenwriters. Therefore, if a Hollywood blockbuster wants to make a wonderful profit, it must invite big-name stars to act. Of course, the director is not a loser, and will give all the filming funds to the actors, so there are not too many big names, one or two are enough.
Actors drive the box office of movies is one of the truths, and it is also an important reason for Hollywood's longevity.
Even in the previous life, the box office of Chinese movies has become the largest box office in Hollywood except for North America, in order to get a better box office in China, every blockbuster in Hollywood will add Chinese elements, and even invite Chinese stars to join in the show, although they are basically some insignificant roles.
But this has to say that Hollywood blockbusters' practice of pleasing Chinese audiences has indeed made Hollywood blockbusters hit new highs at the box office in China.
In fact, this method has been learned in a Chinese blockbuster, but the result is extremely painful!
This movie is the very famous "Wuji" in the previous life, and the setting of this actor is also more ingenious, Sanada Hiroyuki (Japanese movie star) guarantees the Japanese box office, Zhang Dongjian (Korean movie star) guarantees the Korean box office, Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse (Hong Kong movie stars) guarantee the Chinese box office. Although the reviews of "Classless" are generally devastating, the box office is indeed in the past.
In the early years, there were not many movies with a large investment of more than 100 million US dollars, and many viewers believed that the amount of money invested was directly proportional to the quality of the movie, because a large amount of money could produce a large scene such as an explosion, and it could also vividly portray a disaster picture. The props can be more exquisite, and the scenery can be larger, which can make the movie go to the next level and make the eyes and ears more enjoyable.
When he said this, Lin Feng couldn't help but reveal his plan for his next movie to the old dean, "For the next movie, I am ready to invest 500 million Huaxia coins to shoot!"
When the old dean heard Lin Feng's words, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and the whole person almost lost his voice.
500 million Chinese coins, more than 100 million rice dollars!
What kind of film requires such a big investment?
Even in the history of Yenching Film Academy, there has never been a director who has made a film with such a huge investment.
"Have you thought about it?" The old dean knew that Lin Feng had repeatedly made amazing moves, so he quickly returned to normal without asking questions or criticizing!
"Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded, full of confidence.
"Okay, you can grasp it yourself, if there is anything to help from the academy, just ask, but when the time comes, I will arrange a few students to intern in your crew! Our academy has never had this kind of teaching materials for filming such a huge investment movie, just take this opportunity to let them study and summarize, it is estimated that there will be a few teachers who will come to work for you in the day!" the old dean said.
"Haha, I can't ask for it!" Lin Feng said with a hearty smile.
This is also a good thing for him, the production of 500 million Huaxia coins, the previous crew is definitely not enough, since the old dean is willing to arrange people to come over for internship, he must clap his hands to welcome.
"I've just said that, keep talking!" the old dean motioned for Lin Feng to continue with the topic of Hollywood blockbusters just now.
Lin Feng cleared his throat and said with a slightly solemn expression: "No matter how many stars Hollywood blockbusters invite to join, or how much money is spent on making movies, there is only one core point, that is, a gripping plot and novel ideas!"
Most of the audience came to the theater to get a thrill and make the mood play a roller coaster. Hollywood movies do just that, they choose themes that want to be disasters, heroes, and horrors. The plot must not drag on, otherwise it will lower the heart rate of the audience.
Basically, the plot of any Hollywood blockbuster is like a speeding train, from the beginning to the end, there is no chance to get off the train in the middle. The audience is led by the director, the clues are one after another, dizzying, and you have no chance to desert. By the time the final mystery was revealed, the audience was already intoxicated. Such a movie is a success!
The plot is confusing, and Hollywood blockbuster movies with a strong ending are easy to shine, and they are also a guarantee factor for the box office!
Speaking of which, Lin Feng unceremoniously pointed out that now countless so-called commercial blockbusters in China are now worthy of the title of blockbusters, which are not only to invite stars to join, but also to claim to be huge productions, but after the actual screening, the plot is pale and weak, and it is simply a bad street.
It's not that the technology doesn't work, it's not that there is no funding, it's actually a matter of attitude.
This phenomenon is not only in this life, but also in the past life, why when it comes to domestic movies, countless people shake their heads and say, what is so good about domestic films! Except for that set, there is no difference!
First-class publicity, a second-rate star lineup, third-rate special effects production, and an unpopular plot, this is the so-called domestic blockbuster in the previous life!
Every time Lin Feng thought of this, he felt heartbroken, and he felt panicked for those domestic blockbusters!
However, there was no way, in his previous life, he didn't have any power to change all this!
However, in this world, he may not be able to influence the practices of other film companies, but he can set a benchmark for blockbusters and let people know that blockbusters can become blockbusters without fooling the audience!
Lin Feng and the old dean talked for a long time in the shade of the tree, until the sun was about to set and the old dean's wife began to prepare dinner, and then stopped the conversation.
"Old Dean, I think that the academy, as an academic place for teaching and educating people, should not have the so-called truth and authority, the teacher's duty is to be responsible for imparting basic knowledge, and the path that students will take in the future should be decided by themselves!" Lin Feng stood up, paused, and said solemnly.
To tell the truth, the education system in China today is much better than in the previous life, but there are still all kinds of ugliness.
In particular, the Chinese tradition of respecting teachers for thousands of years has made many colleges always believe that students must obey all the instructions of teachers.
This is what Lin Feng feels very uncomfortable about.
There is nothing wrong with respecting teachers, but students must not be consistent with their teachers' values and worldview.
This phenomenon is very serious in the academy, especially for teachers of some ages, who often use past examples to criticize certain students, and use their values to judge the standards of current students' behavior.
Cao Heyi, who has been targeting Lin Feng before, is one of the typical characters.
Hearing Lin Feng's cautious suggestion, the old dean looked solemn, thought for a while, and nodded: "I will consider it seriously!"
He knew very well what Lin Feng was thinking at the moment.
It can be said that there has always been a lot of controversy in the academy about students like Lin Feng, who often take a break from school to film, and his behavior has long been expelled from the academy if he puts it in the past.
Especially in the three movies shot by Lin Feng, although they have achieved higher and higher box office figures, no matter how you look at the three movies, they are all commercial films full of copper smell, and they think that Lin Feng is not worthy of being a student of Yenching Film Academy at all.
The old dean also knew that there were many veteran teachers in the academy who were not accustomed to Lin Feng's behavior, and some of these people were just talking about things because Lin Feng's actions did not conform to their views, but there were also many people with other goals.
Today, he and Lin Feng have been chatting for so long, and now when he hears the student's words, he also knows another meaning.
The meaning of Lin Feng's words is obvious, the college is originally a place for simple teaching and educating people, a place where various ideas can collide and sparks, academic freedom, and it cannot be made like a political struggle, and it is also punished for words.
The controversy between commercial films and art films, that is, two different situations of film representation, should not be made like a political struggle, and if one side is supported, it will be criticized by the other side in various names.
Even, there should be no critical voice in the academy at all.
Just now, Lin Feng said very directly that he would give some self-righteous teachers the title of rebellion to some students who did not match their values at every turn.
He thought it was evil!
After Lin Feng said this, he didn't say anything more, and some words were just enough.
After chatting for so long, it was already dinner time, the old dean didn't let Lin Feng go, leaving him for dinner, Lin Feng thought about it, and he didn't pretentiously, he stayed very happily, and didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.
His cheerful and generous style made the old dean like it very much, and he even took out the old wine that he had treasured for many years to entertain Lin Feng, a disciple who had made him feel very proud in the past year.
…………
At this time, all colleges and universities have been on vacation and started their summer vacation life, but unfortunately, this year, Oriental DreamWorks did not make a big move in the summer file.
There was only one movie released, but it was not Lin Feng's work, but Wang Qidong's first film at Oriental DreamWorks.
A low-cost love movie, the script is not provided by Lin Feng, since its release, it has been tepid, and there should be no problem in recovering the cost.
Oriental DreamWorks.
"Lin Feng, it seems that I am not the material for making movies!" In Lin Feng's office, Wang Qidong said a little self-deprecatingly.
To be honest, Lin Feng really feels this way, Wang Qidong's achievements in movies are really far from his achievements in TV series.
However, at this moment, he still comforted Wang Qidong and said: "Director Wang, don't say that, you can't eat fat in one bite, take your time, at least your movie is still good." ”
Wang Qidong heard Lin Feng's comfort, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The TV series has been filmed for a long time, and my thinking is estimated to have been fixed for a long time, maybe I am really not suitable for making movies, I always didn't believe that the small screen and the big screen are completely two different worlds, I always thought that I could completely adapt to these two different worlds, but now it seems that I still can't!"
In the end, Wang Qidong couldn't help but show a look of loss.
Before Lin Feng could speak, a tall and handsome guy sitting next to Wang Qidong immediately said, "Director Wang, you have too high requirements for yourself. ”
"Is it high? Look at Lin Feng's achievements, he is the most powerful I have ever seen, and he is also the most successful director who has transformed from a small screen to a big screen. Wang Qidong said sincerely, to be honest, if he was still a little dissatisfied with Lin Feng before, but judging from the comparison of the two film's achievements.
Compared with Lin Feng, Wang Qidong is indeed not a grade.
Lin Feng heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but look at the tall and handsome guy beside Wang Qidong who had just spoken.
To be honest, he thinks he is also a handsome guy, and in this life, he has also seen a lot of handsome men, but the tall and handsome guy in front of him gives him a different feeling.
is tall, but it doesn't make people feel rough, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but it makes people feel an elegant temperament, especially the other party's demeanor that is always unfazed, which makes people feel that there is an indescribable charm.
Coupled with the other party's age in his thirties, the maturity of this age exudes the charm of a mature man all over his body.
This tall and handsome guy is the male protagonist in Wang Qidong's movie, Lu Taidong, just like the movie he and Wang Qidong are working on now, tepid.
Everyone knew his name, but they weren't impressed.
I don't know why, Lin Feng always had a familiar feeling when he saw Lu Taidong.
Tall, strong, elegant manners, suit and leather shoes, mature man!
Suddenly, Lin Feng's mind suddenly remembered why he always felt very familiar with this Lu Taidong.
Thinking of this, he immediately had a plan in mind.
"Director Wang, in this way, I will write a script for you to shoot, but I have a few conditions!" Lin Feng knocked on the table with a smile on his face and said.
"Your script?" Wang Qidong looked stunned, then recovered, and quickly asked, "What conditions?"
His movie is not a script written by Lin Feng, although he also knows in his heart that Lin Feng now has the title of the god of screenwriting in the industry, but he is different from others in Oriental DreamWorks, he was pulled down from the altar of TV series by Lin Feng at the beginning.
There is always a little unwillingness in my heart.
Therefore, with such a trace of confidence, he did not ask Lin Feng for the script of the movie he shot this time.
However, the box office of the movie now and the data he expects are too big.
Now that Wang Qidong heard that Lin Feng could write a script for him, he couldn't take care of the unknown little Jiujiu in his heart, and waited anxiously for Lin Feng's answer.
Looking at Wang Qidong's anxious appearance and Lu Taidong's curious look, Lin Feng pointed at Lu Taidong and said: "Director Wang, if you can convince him to sign a ten-year brokerage contract with our Oriental DreamWorks, then I will hand over at least 6 series of film productions to you to shoot!"
In Lin Feng's office, there was silence for a while, and Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong looked at Lin Feng in great astonishment, revealing puzzled looks.
"Mr. Lin, Taidong doesn't have a contract now, so it should be a problem for him to sign a brokerage contract with our Oriental DreamWorks, but why does it take ten years to sign it?" Wang Qidong quickly returned to normal, and asked Lin Feng with a positive color.
Lu Taidong is a good friend of Wang Qidong, but he has never been really popular in the entertainment industry, and he has no objection to this friend being able to sign a contract with Oriental DreamWorks.
He believed that Lu Taidong himself would not object.
But a ten-year brokerage contract is really too long.
An artist can have several decades, and if the newcomer fights for the opportunity when he is not yet prominent, he may sign this kind of long-term brokerage contract.
And Lu Taidong is in his early 30s, and he is no longer the kind of newcomer who likes fantasy, and he has long passed that fearless age.
Hearing what Wang Qidong said, Lu Taidong, as the person concerned, also looked at Lin Feng with a questioning face, waiting for the young upstart in front of him who was calling for wind and rain in the entertainment industry.
Lin Feng also knew that his request might be sudden, but he was still full of confidence, or rather, he had to do it.
"Director Wang, Mr. Lu, I know you don't understand why I propose this kind of long contract, what if I say that the script I gave to Director Wang is a script that can be made into a series of movies? And each of these series of movies has a local box office of more than 300 million, basically no problem!" Lin Feng said with a faint smile.
As Lin Feng's words fell, Wang Qidong was startled and blurted out: "300 million?"
"Yes, at least 300 million!" Lin Feng nodded and said affirmatively. If it weren't for the difference in this life, he would even want to make this figure a little higher, knowing that in the previous life, the sequel to this series of movies in 2008 reached a global box office of more than 500 million US dollars.
He believes that when the time comes, as long as this movie is operated properly, there will be absolutely no pressure on the local box office to exceed 300 million.
At this time, Wang Qidong's heart was also full of associations, is the box office of 300 million Chinese yuan a lot? For some people, it may not be worth mentioning, for example, the opposite one, don't say "Journey to the West", that is, people's debut film "Family with Children" is almost this data.
But for some directors, the data of 300 million may be unattainable in a lifetime.
This is true of him himself.
Although Wang Qidong is in the circle of TV dramas, calling for wind and rain, and every TV series can reach the point of high-quality TV series ratings, he can really only be regarded as a newcomer in the film industry.
The small-budget production he is filming now, after its release, the cumulative box office data is only more than 80 million, and it has not even exceeded 100 million, but there is no problem in recovering the cost and making a small profit.
But for Wang Qidong, making money is not what he wants at all.
Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, profit and fame, at his age, what he is pursuing now is not rich and expensive, but recognition from the industry.
Now, when he heard Lin Feng's words, to be honest, he was really moved.
Lu Taidong, who was sitting on the side, was in a trance after hearing the 300 million data that Lin Feng said, and his face showed an incredible look.
Even just now, he immediately agreed to sign a ten-year contract with Oriental DreamWorks.
300 million box office data!
He Lu Taidong has debuted for so many years, and he has been tepid, he thinks that whether it is the appearance conditions or acting skills, he is not inferior to those stars worth tens of millions, but he has struggled for several years, and he still has not become popular.
If he has no regrets in his heart, and no dream of becoming a popular actor, this is impossible!
He has also starred in several movies, but none of the movies have box office data, and in the end it was over 100 million.
There are even a few movies that have lost all their money.
Now that he heard that Lin Feng had a series of movies in his hand, and the box office data of each one could reach at least 300 million, his heart was like a cat scratching, it was too itchy, and he couldn't wait to agree at this moment.
Thinking of this, Lu Taidong couldn't help but turn his eyes to Wang Qidong beside him, and forcibly held back the willingness in his heart, he wanted to listen to his friend's opinion.
A ten-year long contract is not a trivial matter, and it is not unheard of in the entertainment industry to use contract traps to exploit artists as migrant workers.
Wang Qidong didn't think about this, he was no better than Lu Taidong It was the first time he saw Lin Feng, he and Lin Feng had worked together several times, and he knew the young man in front of him very well.
Chong Lin Feng ignored the old things he had helped Baoli Company to deal with Oriental DreamWorks before, and sincerely invited him to join Oriental DreamWorks, and there was no stumbling revenge.
It can be seen that the young man in front of him is not ordinarily broad-minded.
"Mr. Lin, do you have a script for that series of movies?" Wang Qidong swallowed his throat, and said in a hoarse voice, he still couldn't resist the temptation of his movie dream.
Lin Feng smiled slightly when he heard this, then rummaged through the drawer a few times, found a printed script, and handed it to Wang Qidong.
Recently, he had time to sort out the movies that were selling in his mind, and then he wrote several movie scripts, including this movie!
Wang Qidong opened the script and saw the name of the movie on the homepage of the script at first glance, Lu Taidong also stretched out his head with excitement and strange mood, and also saw the name of this movie, and couldn't help but read it.
"Dragon Group 007: GoldenEye!"
"Dragons, National Security Organizations, Secret Service Organizations. According to rumors, the members of the dragon group are all super soldiers in Huaxia, whose main mission is to infiltrate other countries to steal secrets, steal and destroy that country's secrets, or assassinate important politicians. ”
"In this adventure, 007 must find the Golden Eye, a weapon with electromagnetic waves that was stolen by a renegade Soviet general. Behind this mission, the most complicated thing is that 007 discovers that the culprit who created this conspiracy is an old acquaintance and colleague of his, he is a Chinese agent 006, who plans to use this weapon to cause the collapse of global finance, so as to increase his wealth. ”
At the same time, 007 meets a glamorous girl who is a perverted gangster and will do everything to deal with 007. Another new Dragon Girl is also a beautiful woman, and she assists 007 in defeating 006.
The homepage has about the setting and plot introduction of this movie, and Wang Qidong's vision is wide open, and his heart is relaxed, and he has never seen such a novel spy war plot.
Especially in the last line, Lin Feng even concluded: "In every Dragon Group 007, there must be a beautiful woman who appears, it may be kindness, or it may be an enemy!"
Although he hadn't finished reading the plot yet, Wang Qidong had already made a decision in his heart, and then he looked at Lu Taidong, who was also carefully looking at the script in his hand, and the two glanced at each other and understood their thoughts.
At this moment, they were all attracted by the script of this movie.
The changes in Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong's expressions were naturally seen by Lin Feng, and it was obvious that the two of them were tempted.
The script of "Dragon Group 007: Golden Eye" is naturally adapted by Lin Feng from the 007 series of movies in his previous life, and the whole world has changed greatly in this life, and even this classic 007 movie has been lost, which makes Lin Feng sigh, but it also gives him the opportunity to open a golden finger.
In the original plot, he only modified the background setting, and as for the plot, he didn't make much changes.
It's just that the plot of the British saving the world and saving mankind is changed to the Chinese.
In fact, all Hollywood blockbusters are this kind of urine. Sex, the Americans save the planet, save the world, and all succeed at the last second, the hero then breaks out of the encirclement, not killed, and everyone bursts into cheering applause.
Hollywood's hero films are all this kind of routine, and they have been tried and tested repeatedly, and they have collected box office frenzy around the world, which has to be said to be a miracle.
After a while, Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong, who made eye contact, immediately made a decision, Wang Qidong raised his head and said: "Mr. Lin, I took this series of movies, and there is no problem for Taidong to sign a ten-year long contract!"
"Mr. Lin, I don't want to miss such a good opportunity!" Lu Taidong also said sincerely. Although the ten-year long contract is a little longer, this Dragon Group Agent series movie is worth his effort.
Lin Feng also laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's good!"
In fact, ten years is really nothing compared to the harvest.
In his previous life, the fifth 007 actor Pierce Brosnan was also a tepid star before, but after he successfully created the image of 007, his value soared, and his status in the film industry rose so quickly that it was jaw-dropping.
And in the 007 movies that followed, every Bond girl was also stained, and any actress who has been a 'Bond girl' will immediately become an upstart in the entertainment industry, and the situation is very good.
That's the beauty of this series.
Of course, Lin Feng also knows that "Agents of the Dragon Group" in this life does not have the precipitation of several classic 007 movies in the previous life like in the previous life, and has accumulated a lot of fame.
But he believes that as long as the first part of "Golden Eye" can become an instant hit, he believes that the next few 007s will definitely not be inferior to the previous life.
"Mr. Lu, Sister Zhu will talk to you after the brokerage contract, and I won't treat you badly, I can guarantee that as long as the box office of this "Golden Eye" does not reach the local box office of 300 million, then our Oriental DreamWorks will unconditionally terminate the contract with you!" Lin Feng said with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!" Lu Taidong really didn't expect Lin Feng to make such a decision, it can be seen that the other party did sign a brokerage contract with him with the idea of recruiting him, and he was really at ease at this moment.
Wang Qidong looked at everything with a smile, and also felt sincere admiration for Lin Feng's domineering approach, which showed Lin Feng's confidence in his script, and also made Wang Qidong full of vitality at the moment, a kind of ** who can't wait to start shooting.
However, he thought for a while, and after a while, he said slowly: "Actually, the reason why the company wants to sign a ten-year long contract with Taidong must also be for the sake of this movie, so can we sign a contract for ten movies, and then the contract will indicate that all the Dragon Group Agent series movies will be given priority, Mr. Lin, what do you see?"
Lin Feng thought about it, the reason why he wanted to sign a ten-year long-term contract with Lu Taidong was that he was afraid that after the other party became popular, he would be poached by other companies, resulting in the inability to shoot the sequel in the future.
Nothing else is wrong.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "It's not a big problem, when the time comes, I'll wait for Sister Zhu to come and talk to you!"
At this time, Lin Feng finally understood why there was an agent position.
Although the brothers settle the accounts, Lin Feng is still a little unaccustomed to this kind of calculation of baht and baht, if there is an agent to negotiate on behalf of the two parties, even if the negotiation collapses, it will still leave a little leeway for both parties.
In this way, the role of the broker is fully revealed.
When Wang Qidong heard this, he didn't say anything, they are all people who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, and they understand the rules of this kind of brokerage contract negotiation, and then, he asked with a trace of concern: "Then how much money is the company going to spend on filming this first part of "Dragon Group Agent"?"
When he raised this question, Lu Taidong also pricked up his ears, as the star of this movie, he naturally cared about this issue very much.
Lin Feng heard Wang Qidong's question, thought about it for a while, and then raised a finger and said, "100 million!"
- Shhh
Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong both gasped in unison.
They really didn't expect Lin Feng to give such a huge shooting cost budget.
You must know that the two of them were still entangled and regretful that the box office of their movies never broke 100 million, but they didn't expect that now they are going to participate in the filming of this movie, just the shooting cost budget has reached 100 million, and neither of them expected to have this kind of treatment.
Don't talk about Lu Taidong, even Wang Qidong, who has seen a lot of big scenes, heard this number, his breathing became heavy, and he asked in surprise: "100 million?"
"That's right, 100 million!" Lin Feng nodded and confirmed.
Seeing Lin Feng's nod of certainty, Lu Taidong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time felt glad for his decision, glad that he had just agreed to Lin Feng's conditions.
A movie with a production cost of 100 million, which he couldn't have imagined before.
He believes that as long as he participates in the production of this movie as the male number one, his future in the entertainment industry will be limitless, and all the previous unsatisfactory will become a thing of the past.
Subsequently, Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong discussed with Lin Feng the filming plan of the first "Agent Dragon Group: Golden Eye", and then got up to say goodbye.
After Lin Feng sent the two away, he just wanted to take a break when he received a conversation from across the ocean.
"Mr. Lin, the acquisition is almost over, it's over!" Howard said on the phone in stiff Chinese.
"Very good, I'll rush over tomorrow!" Lin Feng was shocked when he heard this, and immediately became excited.
During this time, he was so busy that he almost forgot about this major event, as long as Howard was in Hollywood, according to his previous conditions, he successfully acquired a film company, then he would be more sure of Bob's invitation.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately asked, "Howard, how is Bob's condition lately?"
Since the last time he had dinner with Bob at a restaurant, he knew that inviting the other party to join him couldn't be done overnight.
