Chapter 178: Choose One of the Two

"David, Meghan, you can't imagine who called me just now?" Chen Tian raised the mobile phone in his hand.

David. Ellison was very curious, and the expression on Chen Tian's face told him that it must be good news.

"Eric sued sΓΉ that you won the prize? Did I hear you were nominated for a People's Choice Award? But wasn't that award just handed out in January? ”

"Who told you not to run naked?" Megan. Ellison continued.

Chen Tian looked at the two of them and shook his head with a smile: "No, it was Warner Bros. who called." ”

"Warner Bros?" David. Ellison frowned, "Why would they call you, do they want to work with you too?" ”

"David, that's obvious, but I don't think it's that simple, otherwise Wood wouldn't be so happy." Megan. Ellison looked at Chen Tian and said, "Justin, say it quickly." ”

"Okay, I have to ask you first, that is, a big system is placed in front of you, are you willing to invest?"

"Da system zuΓ²? From Warner? "Megan. Ellison's mind was thinking about what Warner Bros. had to do.

David. Ellison didn't think about it: "Justin, is there a plane?" ”

Chen Tian shrugged: "Obviously, I still sue you directly, Superman or Batman." ”

"Superman Batman." Megan. Ellison's eyes widened as she looked at Chen Tian, she naturally knew the status of superheroes in the hearts of the American people.

Superman and Batman are both the best of them, and Warner can actually give this opportunity to Chen Tian, which makes her feel crazy.

"Justin. Are you sure you're not kidding? "David. Ellison asked solemnly.

"Of course. No. It's uncertain yet, but they have the intention.

Most importantly, I promised them a promise that they might find difficult to refuse, and I told them that if my preparation was not good, then I would refund all the preparation costs.

Now I have an even bolder idea, and that is to invite you to invest. ”

Look at David. Ellison looked excited, and Chen Tian continued: "Warner Bros. and other companies are very eager to reboot these superheroes and some other big games, but the cost is an unavoidable issue.

There are too many examples of large investment companies that have failed in the end, and for small companies, a single fiasco can almost bring them down completely. Even Warner, Sony, and Universal are worried about the rout.

This year's Warner's earnings are not ideal, and the last few parts of the system have almost all failed, so I want to build yì and we will bear part of the cost of the system.

But it's not a small part of the cost, and if we pay half of the cost, I think they will be more interested in starting the project. ”

The Ellison siblings, who were born into a merchant family, have had a talent for businessmen since childhood.

They naturally knew that what Chen Tian said was right, no businessman launched a set of products or a plan without considering the issue of benefits.

If it's too risky, then they don't mind abandoning the plan.

And once someone comes forward to give support, especially financial support, share half of the risk. Then the possibility of starting this program will increase.

The proceeds of "Hard Fruit Candy" have not yet been released, but this film, which their brother and sister can get a guaranteed income of 20 million for only 500,000 yuan, has made them recognized by their father.

also made them firm in their idea of going on in the film and television industry. And "This Man on Earth" was too low, and they didn't participate in it.

However, "The Queen Wears Prada" and "League of Assassins", with a total investment of 140 million yuan, they will participate in direct investment.

"The Queen Wears Prada" and their brother and sister took out 15 million, and "League of Assassins" they expect to come up with at least 50 million.

This money is not an unacceptably large amount for them, and in their opinion, Chen Tian is a worthy partner to work with.

They don't know if the two big systems can continue to make profits.

And now Chen Tian has proposed a larger superman and Batman, if you don't like it, it's definitely fake.

Chen Tian was not in a hurry, because he knew that it was normal for people to think, and once invested, it was not a small amount.

"Justin, we need to discuss, this is not something that can be done with one or two million, I hope you can understand." David. Ellison thought for a moment and said.

"Of course, it's not a small project, and to be honest it's a big test for me, but I want to take on a challenge."

Chen Tian didn't know if the Ellison siblings would eventually agree, but he would seize this opportunity to try it anyway.

"Justin, it's not that we don't support it, we need to think about it, but can I ask if you have confidence in the next two films?" Megan. Ellison asked.

Chen Tian smiled and said, "What do you say? Of course, but there is pressure and confidence, and I look forward to a wonderful result as much as you do. ”

Dan, who got Chen Tian's reply. Fellman immediately went to President Alain. Horn's office.

Alan. Horn was looking at Warner Bros.'s revenue report for the year, and he had already listened to the finance department analyze the situation for the year.

If it weren't for the good sales of the CD in the source library this year, Warner Bros. would have made a very sad profit this year.

This is also the fundamental reason why he and other high-level executives came up with the idea of trying out Chen Tian, who has recently become a miracle director, just like MGM and Lionsgate.

They are all eager to reap greater profits at the smallest cost, at least this year, Chen Tian has left this impression on the entire film market.

"Please come in!" I heard a knock at the door, Alain. Horn responded.

Put down the report in your hand, Alain. Horn looked up, "Fairman, why are you here?" ”

"Alain, I just had a conversation with Justin. Chan was contacted. ”

"Oh, and Justin. Chan contacted? How so? ”

Alan. Horn came interested and looked at Dan. Fehrman's expression should have a satisfactory answer.

He agreed, but I came up with an idea.

It's about Superman and Batman, and he's interested in both projects. ”

Alan. Horn snorted coldly in his heart. He was not satisfied with Fairman's answer.

He didn't think about handing over Superman and Batman to Chen Tian. In his heart, Chen Tian is the one who helps Warner get the maximum profit with the smallest capital.

Instead of handing over to him such a big risk as one or two hundred million dollars. This and Alain. Horn's thinking is fundamentally different.

Despite the fact that Alain. Horn's face didn't show it, but Dan. Fellman felt it too.

"I know the idea is a bit risky, but he came up with a suggestion that I don't think we should refuse."

"Shouldn't we refuse?"

"Yes, he said that we will give him an appropriation to prepare the pre-preparation, and if the pre-preparation is not satisfactory, he is willing to return all the preparation costs."

"What? Did he really say that? "Alain. Horn laughed, this mention really intrigued him.

"yes, I think we might be able to try. We should throw away some other opinions, we shouldn't look at him with tinted glasses, at least I think Justin is a great director.

Even though he is showing us small-budget films now, we can see a lot of things in the films.

If those guys don't want to take it, why can't we try to use him, and even if we fail, we have nothing to lose.

Importantly, now if you talk about who is the hottest director in the country, I think Justin. Chan must be that person. "Dan. Fellman said seriously that he hoped that Alain would be able to do so. Horn was able to approve.

Alan. Horn thought about it seriously, these two project plans were not something he could decide on his own. This requires a meeting of the board of directors to make a final decision.

"Okay, I see. I'll meet tomorrow and make a final decision. ”

"One thing, Justin asks for absolute say in the film, this?" Cinnabar. Fellman brought it up.

"Absolute right to speak? He? ”

Alan. Horn couldn't help laughing, even super directors don't dare to make this request, he didn't expect Chen Tian, a new director who has debuted for half a year, to dare to make such a request.

"Yes, he asked for this right, he said that with this right he can do better, and he is very confident that he can do both plans."

Chen Tianke did not say that he had the confidence to do these two plans. Fellman himself joined in order to impress Alain even more. Horne.

If Chen Tian fails, he will not be blamed on Warner, and if he succeeds, then his credit will be the greatest.

"I'll bring it up at tomorrow's meeting and wait for me to let you know." Alan. Horn nodded in response.

Back at home, the Ellison siblings sat together to discuss the possibility of investing. Ellison was eager to invest, but he was still a little worried that Chen Tian would not do well.

"David, I think we can try, and you should know that these two programs will start as early as 2005.

Until then, we can see the results of "The Queen Wears Prada", and at the same time, we can also see the finished film of "League of Assassins".

If these two don't work out well, then we can give up on investing in the later stages, can't we?

If we don't say anything now, then we don't support him. "Megan. Ellison had a gut feeling that Chen Tian might be able to continue the miracle.

Chen Tian put Superman and Batman behind him for the time being, and the most important thing for him at the moment is that the release date of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is getting closer and closer.

Before the release of "Fruit Hard Candy", the six major theaters told that there would not be many films, but now this problem does not exist.

Chen Tian and MGM are facing the problem of needing to re-select the schedule, originally because they wanted to start small-scale screenings on the 5th because of the film schedule, and then finally reached a large-scale release with word of mouth.

Let's go and PK with a lot of blockbusters to hit the best schedule of Christmas, and now there is no problem with zΓ i scheduling.

So when it will be released has become the most important question to consider.

Just as Chen Tian was driving to MGM, Dan. Fellman gave him a reply that excited him.

That is, Chen Tian can take one of the two of Superman and Batman, but must give a final proposal at the end of 2005 and then once qualified, and in 2006 must complete filming and final release. (To be continued......)
