Chapter 342: 5 million, big or small!
"I want to work with Miramax!"
Mark Sural's words made Chen Tianxin can't help but beat a little, such a sentence undoubtedly represents Mark Sural's recognition of Miramax.
Even at this time, Mark Sural was far from being as hot as in the following years, and he did not become a sweet spot in the eyes of film and television giants.
But what Mark Sural has now is enough for Chen Tian to look forward to, and this should have been what he was going to say, but now it has become the other party to say it first.
Chen Tian, who was originally trying his best to control his feelings, almost revealed his thoughts, picked up the cup and took a sip.
The coffee at the right temperature made Chen Tianhui feel stable, and although he didn't know what Mark Sural wanted to cooperate with at the moment, at least he was on the strong side.
"Can you tell us more about cooperating with us? To be honest, I don't think anyone can refuse a talent like you, Mark, but recognition and cooperation still need to be separated. ”
Mark Sural laughed: "Of course, cooperation is cooperation, needless to say that we have only met for the first time, even if it is a brother, we need to make it clear." ”
Seeing that Chen Tian did not continue to speak, Mark Sural knew that Chen Tian was waiting for his words.
Although his works are now well received in the market, the copyright is not entirely in his hands, but on the side of surprise.
However, there are too many amazing superheroes, and there are not a hundred or thirty heroes who are more famous than his comics.
His idea of bringing his work to the big screen has been put on hold, and now there are rumors of a possible takeover.
Marc Soular, who was expecting his work to enter the theater, mentioned it again a week ago, but was still coped.
On the contrary, his friend Matthew Vaughn came up with the idea of working with him on the film. That's why he came back to London.
He discussed a lot of ideas with Matthew Vaughn. "King Haibian" is their common goal.
However, the copyright of "King Haibian" is 50% owned by himself. The remaining half is in Marvel's hands.
If he wants to shoot "King Haibian", he needs to hand over 5 million to Marvel to get the remaining 50% of the copyright, although 5 million is not worth mentioning compared to the cost of Hollywood film production.
But 5 million to buy half of the copyright to shoot, such a price is not acceptable to every company.
This week, they approached Disney, DreamWorks, Fox and Warner, but the response was that they were willing to invest in filming.
But there are two conditions that several companies cannot agree to, one is that the director is not willing to hand it over to Matthew Vaughn.
The other is that the return does not satisfy Marc Surral, and two reasons make him put his idea on hold for the time being.
It wasn't until he met Natalie Portman this morning that he remembered Chen Tian in London.
Inviting Jessica Alba and Natalie Portman to film was more of an idea. What's more real is that he wants to talk to Chen Tian.
After all, Chen Tian is very young, and he may be able to negotiate a satisfactory result.
But in the current situation, he felt that Chen Tian was not as easy to deal with as he imagined, although he was very young, he looked like an old fox who had been in the mall for a long time.
"At present, I have several comic book rights, I don't know if you have read them, including "King Haibian", "Royal Agent", "Time Voyager" and "Secret Service".
Among them, "King Haibian" and "Royal Agent" are relatively much simpler if they are to be filmed.
I'd like to see if Miramax is interested, or Justin if you're interested. Mark Sural took his coffee, "My work is quite a bestseller, so I have a fan base by birth, and you can rest assured of this." ”
""King Haibian" and "Royal Agent" are good. Chen Tian smiled. "Are there any other types of special effects? To be honest, I don't really pay much attention to comics.
Now I'm working on a work where League of Assassins tells the story of ......"
Chen Tian briefly talked about the plot of "League of Assassins". He quietly observed Marc Sural's expression.
Although this plot has changed a lot compared with the later "League of Assassins", the setting of the male and female protagonists of the main body is similar, but the men and women are reversed.
It stands to reason that if Mark Sural had written this work, he would have had some reaction.
However, Chen Tian's observation did not find this problem at all, which couldn't help but remind Chen Tian of his original speculation - because of his appearance, some things have changed.
As Chen Tian speculated, in this world, Mark Sural really did not write The League of Assassins.
Originally, he was still a little dissatisfied with Chen Tian's practice of playing Tai Chi, and he hoped that Chen Tian would tell him that he was unwilling to cooperate, but he listened to the plot and felt that it was a good story.
Although he is a cartoonist himself, he has also been involved in the creation of screenplays.
If the shooting is good, then the box office will definitely be good.
"Justin, can I know who this screenwriter is?" asked Mark Sural immediately.
"Is it still you?" Mark Sural saw Chen Tian's expression and showed a look of surprise, "Justin, I think what I just said is not bad at all, you are also a genius screenwriter.
Such a story, as long as there are no problems with the actors, I can't think of a reason why the box office is not outstanding.
If you choose the female lead as Jessica Alba, and the male lead is also one of the three Tom and the others, then this film will definitely not be a problem.
I think if I could, I'd even like to turn it into a painting. ”
"Turning into a comic?" Chen Tian didn't expect this to be the case.
"Yes, to be honest, I think it's a good fit for comics, and now the film market should be diversified, just like developing peripherals, I think it's perfectly okay to go from films to comics.
Truth be told, Raid is a good fit, and if we could, maybe we could work on both. ”
Looking at Mark Sural, who was ten years older than him, Chen Tian was a little embarrassed.
Not only because this story is actually the other party's, but also because the other party obviously shows the most basic love at the moment.
"I think there's no problem with this, I'm also willing to try your work, of course I'd like to hear the specific conditions, if it's okay, I don't think we have any reason to refuse. Chen Tian said with a smile.
"5 million to buy the other half of the copyright?" Chen Tian frowned slightly, this price to buy a comic adaptation rights script is not a lot, but it is definitely not a small amount.
Mark Sural was depressed all of a sudden, he felt that Chen Tian would definitely not agree, even if he agreed, it would be even more excessive to make a request.
After all, he has studied Chen Tian's miracle director deeds and created a lot of miracles of income.
5 million may not be a very large amount for others, but it is not a small amount for Chen Tian, who has used much less than this number several times to create hundreds of millions of box office.
"Mark, are you worried that my terms are harsh or disagree? You look a little lost. Chen Tian asked with a smile. (To be continued......)
PS: After the Qingming Festival is well organized, I have written very little recently, and the number of words in the chapters is small, which is really bad for the development of the plot.
But the work is too busy, so let's get the updates and chapter quality on the Qingming Festival.
