"The Wizard of Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland" are two films, the former has an initial investment budget of 160 million US dollars, and the latter has an investment budget of 200 million US dollars. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Disney is most optimistic about "The Wizard of Wonderland", because it has bypassed the copyright barrier of Warner's "The Wizard of Oz", and once it is released, the subsequent 23456 will not be a thing.

Therefore, they increased their proportion in "The Wizard of Wonderland", as the main investor, with an investment of 100 million US dollars, Hualong participated in an investment of 40 million US dollars, and Mengren Film and Television participated in an investment of 20 million US dollars.

Lao Mei also talks about balance.

Disney is the main investor of "The Wizard of Wonderland", so the main investor of "Alice in Wonderland" must be Hualong Pictures. Hualong invested 90 million US dollars, Disney invested 60 million US dollars, and Meng Ren invested 50 million US dollars.

Disney invested a total of $160 million in the two films, accounting for less than 50%, but the special effects production of the two films was all entrusted to Disney, which is not a small profit.

A Hollywood blockbuster with an investment of 200 million must be a big Hollywood director, a big Hollywood special effects, a big Hollywood star, what's the matter with you shoehorning in a Chinese actor?

also insisted that she star...... How could it be!

Yes, the position of the Chinese market in the global box office is becoming more and more important, and it is impossible for a Chinese actor to play the first leading role in a Hollywood blockbuster!

Don't say it's your sister, it's you Mai Xiaoyu himself, and we Disney don't care about it.

The premise of our cooperation is the script!

Anything that is not good for the box office of the movie, we will not agree!

The cooperation between the three parties, all aspects have been talked about almost completely, and it is stuck on Sissi.

Due to Disney's resolute attitude, there were signs of loss of control on Hualong side, and several shareholders called Mai Xiaoyu, hoping that he would take a step back.

Regress?

Okay.

Mai Xiaoyu insisted that Qian Qian play the female lead, which was a sky-high asking price, and of course the other party was allowed to sit on the ground and repay the money.

So he called Shi Hao and proposed a compromise plan.

In "The Wizard of Wonderland", he no longer insisted that Sissi play the female No. 1 Saidora, but instead played the female No. 3 Good Witch Grinda. And "Alice in Wonderland" must be played by Sissi as an adult Alice, who can bring her a blonde wig.

In addition, "The Wizard of Wonderland" was released first, if the box office was not good because of Sissi's appearance, then "Alice in Wonderland" immediately changed the protagonist, and the excess cost was borne by the Meng Ren alone, and at the same time, the Meng Ren gave up all the rights and interests in "The Wizard of Wonderland" and distributed it equally to Disney and Hua Long.

In the end, he asked Shi Hao to tell Disney that Sissi was a Chinese-American and an American. Disney is adamantly opposed to Sissi's role, and it's hard not to wonder if there is racism in it.

Mai Xiaoyu made a big gamble, and the conditions were very favorable to Disney and Hualong Dragon.

In this way, several shareholders of Hualong did not say anything, and Disney Pictures weighed the pros and cons, and after several communications with Hualong Pictures, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, agreed to the new conditions offered by Mai Xiaoyu.

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Shi Hao sent good news to Mai Xiaoyu by phone.

"Mr. Mai, Disney agreed, but they demanded that your commitment be included in the contract. And they don't want to drag it out any longer, they want to sign the contract as soon as possible. ”

"No problem. After the Spring Festival, our cute Liu will always take people to Los Angeles, and Sissi will also accompany her. At that time, the contract will be formally signed, and my commitment will be included in the supplementary terms. Thank you Mr. Shi, have you bought the ticket well, come back for the New Year. ”

"The New Year is a trivial matter, Mr. Mai, have you really thought about it, it is very risky to do this, you are gambling. ”

Looking at the living room, Sissi, who was laughing and chatting with Liu Xiaoli and Mai Yingying, Mai Xiaoyu, who was leaning on the balcony, said lightly: "She is my sister, and I think the risk is not as big as you think." In addition, I don't gamble easily, as long as I open a bet, the chances of winning are huge. ”

"But the risks still exist, and gambling is never guaranteed to win or lose. Shi Hao's tone was a little anxious, "If you lose this time, you will lose your hard-earned right to speak in Hualong, and your cute person may also suffer a heavy blow! Mr. Mai, I know that you are a good brother and love your sister very much, and I love my sister the same." But don't forget, you promised me to let Ning Shirong ambush him. ”

"Mr. Shi, I'll tell you some plans. If you want Ning Shirong to be punished, you must first get rid of his protective umbrella. The power of the sky is big, and I need enough money to be controlled by you to snipe the sky in the capital market. ”

"You've got that in mind. The problem is that with the current momentum, you can take it slowly, and there is no need to rush it. ”

"I don't have that much time to wait. This is a good opportunity, if successful, I can prepare a large amount of ammunition, and at the same time, I can also show my great ability to create profits, and in the future, I will have more people to support me. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing more. I'll tell you one more thing, Ning Shirong also wants to get rid of me, he is waiting for the right time now. If I can't get ahead of him, you should know the consequences. ”

Shi Hao had nothing to say, and only asked one question in the end: "How sure are you this time?"

How sure are you?

This question is not only Shi Hao's concern, when Mai Xiaoyu hung up the phone and returned to the living room, and shared the good news sent by Shi Hao with Comrade Lao Mai, Liu Xiaoli and Qian Qian, the three of them did not show too much joy on their faces.

Comrade Lao Mai is a well-known barrister, quite a shrewd master, and he has already smelled a trace of unusual breath from the changes since last year: "Son, what do you want to do, why did you suddenly make a big leap forward?"

Liu Xiaoli knew Mai Xiaoyu's final supplementary promise, and she also had the same worry as Shi Hao in her heart: "Wheat, is the bet too big this time? How sure are you? The company has invested a lot this year, and once the United States fails, the company will suffer a heavy blow." ”

Qian Qian was the most direct, walked to Mai Xiaoyu's side, and hugged his arm: "Brother, I won't act." I know you love me, but I don't want you to take risks, are you ...... again?"

Mai Xiaoyu pulled out her arm in time, hugged Qianqian into her arms, interrupted the second half of her sentence, and said confidently: "Don't be stupid, I know what I'm doing, and there is no risk." I said that I want to make a movie for you, and the company has been making a fuss for so many years, I'm a little annoyed and want to make a big deal. Also, if I'm not sure enough, will I do that?"

His self-confidence is not pretended.

Starting from the strange dream when the lamb was in the circle, after all these years, the leather bag company that was Mengren at the beginning has become a top middle-class cute person with bright stars, and it is inseparable from the help of that strange dream.

And he also determined the huge value of strange dreams in the process of the company growing bigger step by step, TV series hit one after another, movies were hits, and newcomers were popular.

He believes that as long as the right timing and actors are chosen, the film and television dramas in the strange dream can achieve good results when they are moved to reality.

He remembers very well that the two 3D movies "The Wizard of Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland" in the strange dream were box office hits, and the global box office of "Alice in Wonderland" was much higher than that of "The Wizard of Wonderland".

That's why he increased his capital investment in "Alice", and the shareholders of Hualong Pictures trusted his vision and became the main investor of "Alice".

One more important point is this.

The sci-fi masterpiece "Avatar", which leads the 3D boom in the strange dream and brings fire IMAX, was filmed in 07 years in reality, and is undergoing post-production of special effects, and is expected to be released in 09!

The dream coincided with reality, and Mai Xiaoyu was even less worried.

During the Spring Festival in 08, the news that Mengren cooperated with Disney with a total investment of 350 million US dollars to shoot two movies was first broken by Longxing Studio. Later, in an interview with reporters, Liu Xiaoli generously admitted the revelation, which stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.

It's really a mille-feuille, because the cute people at the beginning of this year were very wavelike, fierce and numerous......
