Chapter 341: I want to work with Miramax
Chen Tian adjusted his mentality, and he borrowed some of other people's ideas.
If the other party did draw "League of Assassins", then when the crew has not yet announced the news to the public, it is completely possible to discuss the issue of learning from the other party when talking about this highlight in a timely manner.
This can avoid that after being exposed, the other party will send himself to court, which he does not want to see.
"If you're just drawing comics, I guess I'm just making movies. ”
"Justin, you're not right. Mark Soular smiled and waved his hand, "You're still a great screenwriter, and then you're a great actor.
Of course, there are other abilities, such as photography, editing, ......"
Tom Cruise, who was on the side, put his hand on Chen Tian's shoulder: "Justin, you see this is your fame."
I'm in you, and I think about what I'm doing. ”
"It's supposed to be playing tricks, or kneeling and begging for a chance to be on camera. Tom Cruise said with some exaggeration.
"I'm not a humble guy, and if you insist on saying that, I'll totally accept it, but I think Mark I do have a lot to discuss with you.
If you don't mind, I think we can talk. Chen Tian asked with a smile, he wanted to have a good chat with Mark Sural to figure this matter out.
When he was looking for the rights to League of Assassins, he couldn't find it, but several of Mark Soulal's other comics were still available.
"Actually, I just talked to Natalie and Jessica about something, and they recommended you to me.
Natalie and Jessica said that you will definitely agree to my advice, and I think you will definitely not refuse the lady's request. Mark Sural gestured.
"I feel like I'm jumping into a trap. And there is no way to refuse. As you say. I couldn't refuse the lady's request, let alone my good friend. Chen Tian replied with a smile, he was curious to know if there was anything Marc Sural needed to talk to him.
At this moment, some information about Mark Sural came to his mind, and Mark Surral's famous personal comic works that debuted as a cartoonist are "League of Assassins", "King Haibian", "Royal Agent", and some other excellent works.
And these three works have all been put on the big screen without exception, and they have all won a good box office and word of mouth.
"League of Assassins" is being filmed by Chen Tian, and "King Haibian" is what Chen Tian intends to talk about after this shooting.
For film and television companies, the number of films produced is not important. There are two important things.
On the one hand, it has enough film sources, and enough inventory in the film library is a huge asset, and Miramax has also acquired some small companies' film source libraries since he officially left Disney.
Now there are about 2,000 works in the entire film source library, and although such a number cannot be compared with the giants, it is already considerable.
However, in addition to the source library, what is more important is the future.
The future comes from a large reserve of scripts, which is what Miramax lacks in Yanzhòng.
In addition to the planned filming schedule, Miramax has less than fifty valuable screenplays in storage.
Although the script does not have to be turned into a film, having the right to shoot and adapt the script means that the company has a direction to work towards in the future.
And Chen Tian, Bob Weinstein and others have reached a consensus. That is to buy scripts as much as possible in case you need them.
Comics are one of the highlights. Even now Surprise and DC have the right to adapt a huge number of comic books.
"King Haibian" is one of the better works outside of Surprise and DC, and of course it was all because of Chloe Moretz.
After all, this work is Chloe Moretz's true masterpiece, even if the current Chloe Moretz is more famous than later generations.
But Chen Tian still hopes to see a better Chloe Moretz perform a better "Haibian King", and at this moment, the original author of "Haibian King" is in front of him, and Chen Tian also decided to take out the matter of buying the copyright of "Haibian King" in advance, hoping to reach a cooperation.
In addition to his solo work, Chen Tian also wants to reach a long-term cooperation with Marc Surral.
After all, Mark Sural was responsible for the creation of superhero scripts such as Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, and was later invited by Marvel, which was renamed Marvel, to be in charge of the ultimate universe series of superheroes.
A few years later, Mark Soulal was one of Hollywood's most sought-after superwriters and best-selling cartoonists, whose works were booked by film and television companies before they were released.
For such a talent, Chen Tian hopes to reach a cooperation with him.
"Maybe breakfast is a good decision, let's go together?" Chen Tian invited.
"Why not?" replied Mark Sural with a smile.
Natalie Portman and the others didn't follow, knowing that Chen Tian and Mark Sural must have something to talk about.
"Justin, this guy is gone, Will, you can finally not be ignored. Tom Cruise joked.
While others enjoyed the beauty of the London morning, Chen Tian and Mark Sural sat in the café.
"Actually, it was an accident this morning, I didn't expect to meet Natalie and Jessica Alba on the streets of London.
My friend Matthew Vaughn, who is recently planning to become a director himself.
The plan has come out, and he also has a favorite candidate for the heroine, and Natalie and Jessica are among the choices.
Of course, they wouldn't necessarily agree, but I happened to meet it, and I thought it would be an opportunity. ”
Chen Tian didn't take the conversation, and he had planned to take the initiative to introduce topics like "The League of Assassins" and "King Haibian", but Mark Sural was clearly more interested than him.
Although Chen Tian is not very old, he can clearly judge this situation, as long as he maintains a certain posture, then he will face Mark Sural in a relatively beneficial way.
After all, one is to ask for cooperation with the other party, and the other is to cooperate with the other party.
A change of position will also be able to occupy the initiative in negotiations.
Marc Sural took a sip of coffee, and Chen Tian's composure was beyond his imagination, almost like two people on the bridge before.
He also has a clearer understanding of Chen Tian's ability to quickly become a person who cannot be ignored in the Hollywood director industry.
Before he arrived, he had seen the media coverage in London, where Chen Tian had brought the crew of League of Assassins with Natalie Portman, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, and Wentworth Miller, the actor of the recent hit "Prison Break" in the UK.
His real understanding of Chen Tian started from "Raid".
However, he knew that Chen Tian's ability must not be ignored because Chen Tian was young, otherwise Chen Tian would not be so successful.
"I want to work with Miramax!" said Mark Surral, putting down his glass. (To be continued......)
