Chapter 629: The Queen's Actor (Second Watch)
To be honest, Lin Han and Miao Hong's ideal estimate of the copyright of these two novels is 15 million US dollars, because this is about 100 million yuan when converted into RMB!
After all, they are nothing in their own library, and it is impossible for them to spend their time on them, and now they can not only turn these works into movies to meet readers, but also increase their income, which is a great thing!
$18.5 million, which greatly alleviates the cash flow crisis of Galaxy Pictures, can give them more confidence to negotiate with DreamWorks and become an investor in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, in order to avoid the simultaneous release of his two movies and the ring, Lin Han will stipulate this matter in detail in the contract, you can fight with other movies, but you can't fight your own people!
"Congratulations!"
"Xiaolin, you guys are terrible, there are more than 120 million, right?"
"This must be the most expensive IP in China, and it's not bad to hand it over to Legendary Pictures!"
"Congratulations, the influence of this auction has increased a lot."
Lin Han hurriedly thanked the person beside him, and the smile on his face was about to stiffen!
Zhao Han shook his head and came to Lin Han's side, he joked: "We are probably going to prepare a reprint of this novel, and if it is convenient at that time, we will simply attach the script of "The Time Traveler's Wife" to the back of the novel, and the novel + script model should attract many people to buy it." ”
"This is estimated slowly, and we have to discuss it with Legendary Pictures, after all, it is not a wise thing to expose the script in advance." Miao Hong said calmly, he looked at the mess here, and found that the organizer was still inexperienced, and now he didn't arrange for someone from his side to meet with the company that took the copyright!
"Xiaolin, this "The Wandering Earth" is a little inconvenient to publish, otherwise you can find time to write a few more short stories, how about we get a collection of short stories and include all your previous novels?"
Zhao Han already had countless ideas at this time, and he couldn't wait to put them into practice quickly.
"Let's talk about it then, if I can write it, I'll give it to you!" Lin Han dealt with it casually, and now the book market has been occupied by himself for several months, and if he gets another collection of short stories, it is estimated that the rest of the writers will hate themselves to death.
Eat your own meat, and you have to let the rest of you drink some broth!
The noisy scene made Lin Han quite unhappy, and he whispered to Miao Hong on the side: "Now the crew is still waiting for me to shoot, how about you be responsible for communicating and negotiating with Alibaba Pictures and Legendary Pictures later?" ”
Miao Hong didn't know where his boss wanted to be lazy, but he didn't break it, after all, this is his job, "Then you go get busy first, leave it to me here!" ”
After Lin Han turned his head and said sorry to Zhao Han, he quietly slipped out of the small door next to him, leaving the excitement inside.
Whether it's celebration or interpersonal communication, this time is actually the best, so even if the auction is over, there are very few people leaving, and those writers are favored by the major copyright owners and can't get this work, but every writer has a lot of IP in their hands, first get a good relationship, maybe the next one will have a chance!
……
"The Matrix" has been filming for several months, and there is still a long way to go, after all, these are three films filmed together, and even Spielberg has never done such a thing.
Right now, the crew is rehearsing on an abandoned highway in the suburbs, the original road is dilapidated, but for the sake of filming effect, Lin Han asked the props crew to rest this highway a month ago to make it look brand new.
Of course, in this way, the funds will start to burn, and counting the cars that will participate in the filming later, this section is estimated to cost millions!
After Lin Han came out of the auction venue, he drove towards the location of the crew, and it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and there should be several scenes to be filmed.
At this time, the anchor's voice from the car radio made Lin Han a little distracted, not long after the auction ended, there was news out, could it be that these reporters had been waiting in the back?
"A few days ago, the first China Film and Television Literature Copyright Auction Conference came to an end, with a total turnover of more than 400 million yuan, among which science fiction writer Lin Han's work "The Wandering Earth" won the first place with a sky-high price of 11 million US dollars......
The next thing is the male anchor Balabala to introduce the details, Lin Han didn't care too much, it's better not to show his wealth, such a big publicity is not necessarily a good thing.
After arriving in the suburbs, tents appeared in front of him, both the actors and the crew were too hot, the electric fans and air conditioners were running, and the generators were not able to supply so much electricity.
"How are you rehearsing today, can you shoot later?"
"It's all smooth, so we'll be waiting for you to come back."
"Okay, let's rest for half an hour, and then we'll do a final rehearsal to see how it works."
Lin Han just couldn't be idle, he just got out of the car, and he kept asking the assistant director, this ghost weather is simply anti-human!
The sky is clear and cloudless, the sun seems to be roasting people, and the surface temperature exceeds 40 degrees, but the actors have to wear leather clothes and suits to film, which is simply torture.
Filming is not as easy as imagined, the sun is hot in summer, cold in winter, heat stroke, colds, and injuries are common things, and they are just complaining in private!
Xu Jiayan's shirt was already soaked with sweat, and later during the rehearsal, he simply wore a white vest, otherwise he would have to change into a new shirt every time, which would consume too much.
This episode is the highlight of The Matrix 2: Reloaded, and it's also the most exciting. The tide scene, in Lin Han's words, is a highway chase that can end all the rest of the car chase scenes.
For 14 minutes in the movie, this car chase scene includes fights on the roofs of various cars, vehicle explosions, hot shootouts, and elements of twin virus killers that can turn into a puff of smoke in each vehicle, involving more than 300 vehicles of various types, of which dozens of cars will collide and explode, and more cars will be set off by the explosion gas wave!
This is the ultimate test of stunt choreography, because all scenes have to be filmed first, and an inaccurate data deduction can lead to tragic casualties among stunt personnel.
Rehearsals were therefore essential, and Lin decided to use the "previs visual" system to choreograph the most complex car chase scene in the history of the film.
To put it simply, it is to use the computer to simulate an accurate action program, and now the computer simulates an actual scene, and then experiments with the camera position and lens angle in this model, to find the best way to express your director's intention, and finally use the animation to run all the processes that have been decided, and see what the final result will be!
If nothing else, they will be stationed here for half a month, filming that wonderful scene little by little.
"Director, I just read the news and said that you made another 100 million, will the crew have more dinner tonight?" Xu Jiayan was holding a bottle of cold mineral water, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.
Lin Han spread his hands and said, "This year, I don't let people have a little privacy, if I add food, do you dare to eat?" If you're willing to stay and do the night scene, I can still provide dinner. ”
"Just kidding, you have to eat a nutritious meal." Xu Jiayan mysteriously approached Lin Han's side and whispered: "Just now my agent got me an audition invitation, guess which movie?" ”
"There are so many movies, how do I know? But if it's recently, you may not be able to leave! ”
"It was sent by Alibaba Pictures, and they invited me to audition for "The Time Traveler's Wife" and wanted me to play the leading role!"
Lin Han patted his head, "Isn't it?" We haven't even signed a contract yet, and Alibaba Pictures has started casting?! ”
Who knew that Xu Jiayan pouted and said: "I don't plan to go, if I continue like this, I will become the queen actor of your novel, I plan to give myself a literary film, stay away from you!" ”
This is the truth, Xu Jiayan played the leading role in "The Martian" and "Immortality" related to Lin Han, and played the chief villain in these three "The Matrix".
So Lin Han also agreed with Xu Jiayan's approach: "Then you should prepare a literary film, and when I want to make a movie when I am free, I will still look for you!" ”
I have to say that Ali Pictures' rapid action also made Lin Han worried, good movies need to be carefully prepared, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
After Lin Han patted Xu Jiayan on the shoulder, he took out his mobile phone and boarded the Internet, he wanted to see what the Internet was saying about this matter, especially his readers.
In fact, Xinhua News Agency released this news half an hour ago, but the number of people affected was not much, but after it was forwarded by the entertainment industry account, it quickly spread!
"The two novels sold for 100 million, I want to say that the cost of this movie is too high, right? The money is spent on buying IP, how much money will be spent on shooting? ”
"Jack Ma's father is rich, and he spent more than 50 million yuan to buy "The Time Traveler's Wife", and I am looking forward to which actress can accept this big production!"
"Awesome, my Teacher Lin! The ability to make money is almost max! It will break 100 million in minutes, envy, jealousy and hatred. ”
"It's not bad, Ali Pictures and Legendary Pictures are both wealthy, not to mention that Legendary Pictures belongs to Wanda, which is equivalent to being filmed by a domestic film company!"
"I hope Legendary Pictures won't ruin 'The Wandering Earth', it's my favorite short story!"
"The wallet is trembling, I am looking forward to the cast of the two movies, the box office is absolutely bomb-level!"
"I'm still looking forward to Mr. Lin making these movies by himself, but I sold them to others, and my heart is stuffed ̄へ ̄"
