Chapter 754 The Chinese are too rich to add 3/9 to the ignorance of the alliance leader
At the end of the day's meeting, George did not give a clear answer, but took the scripts of "The Wizard of Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland" with him, and then there was no news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Mai Xiaoyu is not in a hurry, the American film industry is different from that of China. The Chinese side is director-centric, while the American side is producer-centric.
The appearance of the famous Hollywood producer Debbie is already very illustrative, Disney Studios values the script, which is also in line with the mainstream of the American film industry. The producer first gets the script, and then contacts the upstream and downstream to start preparing the film.
How to lay the groundwork in the front, the final key still falls on the script, and Disney needs time to think about it.
To put it mildly, if Mai Xiaoyu has a good movie script in his hand, he will not worry about cooperating with Hollywood studios. Just like "Fatal ID" a few years ago, Fox has bought the adaptation rights.
But "The Wizard of Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland" are different in that they are trapped by copyright restrictions, the former can also choose between Disney and Warner Bros., and the latter can only cooperate with Disney.
The foreshadowing in front actually shows the attitude and attitude of Hualong Pictures and Mengren Film and Television, and when the two sides cooperate in depth and negotiate specific details in the future, Disney will not dare to treat them as soft persimmons.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of cooperation, this is not unfounded, and the traditional "virtue" of modesty and forbearance of the Chinese people has been fully demonstrated in order to ensure the smooth progress of cooperation.
In addition to the entertainment industry, many industries and even officials have this problem, which spoils the old beauty!
Disney's reply takes time, and during this time, Mak Xiaoyu will not wait stupidly, but put the matter aside, and then happily pay attention to the preparations for "Twilight".
At the end of August, Hualong Pictures announced that it would buy the copyright of "Twilight 1 Twilight" at a high price of $5 million, prepare to adapt it into a movie, and plan to invest $40 million.
Since "Twilight" was published in the United States, it has been translated into many countries and published in the past few years, and has been sought after by readers and has accumulated a large number of fans.
The author Mai neither accepts interviews with reporters nor holds book signings, and contacts with the publishing house are also agents, and he is clothed with a layer of mystery, which is even more curious.
Although the publisher said that Wheat is a man, based on the use of words and emotional descriptions in the book, there have always been fans who believe that the real author is a woman.
He?
Or is she?
It has also become a hot topic of discussion among fans.
As the first published "Twilight Twilight", it is very famous, has many fans, and has a huge readership. For a long time, there were American film companies that wanted to buy the rights to film adaptations, but they couldn't contact Wheat.
At the beginning, the six families were able to accept Comrade Lao Luo's proposal, mainly because of the value of the "Twilight" series.
How much is it worth?
Just look at the public's reaction after the news was announced.
Hualong Pictures, which was established about two years ago, instantly became a well-known film company in the United States, not because of how famous Hualong is, but because there are many people who only know about this company. It was because they bought the rights to "Twilight: Twilight".
Within two days, the old story of Hualong Pictures was turned out by fans - a film company founded by Chinese people in the United States, who had previously engaged in the distribution of Chinese films and had no experience in making movies.
In other words, "Twilight" is the first film produced by Hualong Pictures after its establishment in the United States.
Many fans are worried that the original book will be destroyed, and they have expressed their protests in different ways.
Some fans expressed their concerns on Facebook and Twitter, some fans questioned why American film companies didn't buy the rights, some fans gathered on community websites to warn Hualong Pictures to shoot carefully, and a small number of radical fans hacked Hualong Pictures' official website......
Many media in the United States reported on this, and it was more negative than positive.
In particular, many American producers, screenwriters, and directors have expressed their stance that the price of $5 million is outrageously high, and a sarcastic voice has appeared in public opinion - Chinese people are too rich!
Hualong Pictures didn't care at all, but was happy to be so hyped.
The American film industry is well developed, and there are many huge and big cheap. Hualong Pictures wants to make a name for itself among many well-known film companies, regardless of whether it is positive or negative hype, it is a great opportunity.
Don't look at the American entertainment industry, it is generally believed that Hualong Pictures' bid is too high, but when Hualong Pictures knocked on custom filmmakers and began to select directors and actors, many well-known directors, brokerage companies, young actors, and starlets were eager to try.
Advertisers struck early to negotiate sponsorship with Hualong Pictures.
Although fans are dissatisfied with the lack of experience of Hualong Pictures and the fact that it is still a company run by Chinese people, the rice has become a cook, and they can't change it, so they have to ask Hualong to cast openly, and they take the initiative to help Hualong Pictures check it.
Now, the production team and director team of "Twilight" have been finalized, and they are all experienced Hollywood filmmakers with successful experience.
Director Catherine Hardwick, female, directed the film "Nativity" two years ago. Like "This Man is from Earth", "Nativity" has also caused huge controversy in the United States, but the former is produced by Huaxia Film Company, which is more controversial.
After the script is created and the team of producers and directors is customized, the most important thing in the preparation of the film is the turn of audition casting and casting to select the actors.
The selection of the male and female protagonists "Edward Cullen" and "Isabella Swan" in "Twilight" has attracted much attention. Not only fans pay attention, but also European and American actors.
The heroine "Isabella" is starring Kristen Stewart, which Mai Xiaoyu decided a long time ago. Just like he named Sissi to star in "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Wonderland".
However, the crew did not announce this decision to the public, saying that the two protagonists were still auditioning.
This kind of propaganda method is not exclusive to Huaxia, but is used internationally.
So far, there have been nearly 1,000 "Edward" actors who have auditioned, including newcomers who have just debuted, young actors who are child stars, young stars who are well-known, and young actors from the Screen Actors Guild.
Auditions, that's how they should be.
When the crew said that a young actor is more suitable for the role of "Edward", there will always be a large number of fans who jump out and criticize the actor in various ways, thinking that he does not meet the "Edward" in their hearts.
The preparation of the film "Twilight" has received incredible attention, and the seven shareholders who learned of this situation were very happy.
Otherwise, after Mai Xiaoyu boldly proposed the idea of cooperation with Disney at the temporary remote video conference in the East China Sea, those companies would be so easy to agree and fully cooperate?
The competition for the lead actress "Isabella" was not that big, but more than 300 actresses participated in the audition, which made Kristen Stewart and her agent Martin nervous.
Yes, the crew has made it clear that Christine will play the female number one "Isabella" in the film, but the contract has not been signed yet!
This audition for the heroine every day, what if something happens?
You must know that Hollywood is the originator of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, and it is too common to change the heroine!
At noon that day, Martin brought good news.
"Christine, the crew is throwing a party tomorrow night, you dress up nicely......"
