Everyone looked at Chen Tian on the rostrum, looking forward to what the first news in his mouth would be.

What kind of movie plan is still a big move, there has been a lot of news about Chen Tian about Miramax in the past month, but it has always been just a rumor and has not been actually verified.

"I can see that everyone is looking forward to it, I originally wanted to make a slight turn, I think then I will be cursed by many people in their hearts." Chen Tian smiled, "Miramax will officially acquire Kennametal Optics and NewDealStudio miniatures. ”

"Kennametal? What company is that? ”

"Miniatures? Is it a movie props company? ”

Hong Kong local media reporters stared at each other, and the latter they could still guess that it was a movie prop tool, but they didn't know what the former was.

It may sound like a chemical or physics company, but the American media next to them knows both very well.

"Justin, I'm Hollywood Reporter Ladd, and you're saying that Miramax will officially acquire Kennametal Optics and NewDealStudio, which you originally belonged to ILM?

Doesn't Miramax want to develop future special effects technology, preferring more traditional miniature?

Now that all of Hollywood is revolutionizing technology, and Miramax has acquired two companies with excellent miniatures at once, is this your own filmmaking philosophy or the future direction of the entire Miramax film?

And isn't it an irrational M&A decision for Miramax to acquire two old-fashioned VFX teams with a lot of overlapping technologies? A white man with a height of 1.95 meters stood up and asked.

The big words of this white man named Ladd speak the hearts of many American colleagues.

Nowadays, special effects technology is becoming more and more developed. Special effects technology, including computer CG special effects, has gradually become the mainstream of Hollywood.

None of them could understand that Miramax had bought an old-fashioned physics special effects company. And it's two. Although these two companies have excellent film technology in the past.

But for the Hollywood film industry system, the old-fashioned physical effects are dead, otherwise ILM would not abandon Kennametal Optics, or the two companies would not be struggling.

"Justin, I'm Angus, a reporter for Variety, what's your purchase price? If it's cheap, it's an understandable decision. Another white reporter stood up.

The Hong Kong reporters on the side, according to the words of their American counterparts, also looked at Chen Tian. Although Hong Kong films have not yet followed the footsteps of the world's film trend technology, they also understand the development direction of future films.

Chen Tian made a downward gesture, and the audience fell silent: "I know that there must be many people who have a lot of questions about our Miramax acquisition, but I will answer these questions one by one later."

Now let's focus on this launch, and I'm sure there's more that you're interested in.

Of course, if you're only interested in acquisitions right now, I can answer them directly, but in that case, I might have to miss out on what I think you're interested in.

So the choice is still up to everyone. ”

looked at Chen Tian on the stage, who was light and breezy and had a faint smile. Journalists clearly want more information they want.

"It seems that everyone has made a choice, so I will announce the second news of this conference. But before I do that, I want to ask you what your impression of China is. Has there been something that has conquered the whole world? ”

Conquered the whole world, and still from China?

Chen Tian's words stopped everyone at the scene at once, and they didn't understand what this had to do with this press conference.

"Chinese food?"

"Kung Fu?"

"Justin, is it Chinese culture?"

"The history of China? Justin, are you going to make a film about Chinese history? ”

……

Voices sounded from the audience, but Chen Tian on the stage still didn't speak, and Yuan Heping and the others next to Chen Tian were also very curious about what Chen Tian's words wanted to lead.

"How could it be all wrong answers!

What else came from China and conquered the whole world? Angus, from Variety, stood up again, and he couldn't figure out what the answer was.

"Well, you guys have a lot of answers, and they're all right, but it's a little bit away from my answer, and I'll give you a hint, it's a black and white, very cute guy, people all over the world love it, and it's ......"

“panda！” Angus, who had just sat down, directly interrupted Chen Tian's words.

Chen Tian snapped his fingers: "Angus congratulations, you got it right!" panda, our cute representative panda in China. ”

"Your expression tells me that my answer is not wrong, does it?" Chen Tian made a gesture of please, and four pictures were typed out on the screen on the rostrum with a projector.

"This is our initial concept art, to be exact, we've already started this project, and it's going to be combined with Kung Fu, another world-renowned representative of Chinese culture, and we're going to make a Kung Fu Panda.

I'm sure the great DreamWorks team will bring this lovely guy to you and will love it all over the world. ”

The four pictures on the projector are Po lying on his stomach, standing up on one foot with a stick and posing as POSE, and posing in a classic kung fu starting pose and a cute expression.

The bulging Ah Bao suddenly made the reporters in the audience raise the camera in their hands.

As Chen Tian said, the cute guy panda has conquered the world.

If there is one from China who has conquered 100% of the people of the world, then this must be a round panda.

Pandas are almost crazy all over the world, and with millions of dollars a year in rental fees and hundreds of thousands of dollars in rearing fees, plus protection and site maintenance, a panda can cost as much as three million dollars a year.

However, even so, there are still countless countries that want to get temporary lease rights for pandas.

Especially at this time. Far less than in later generations, there were far more countries that could obtain temporary residency rights for pandas.

Even in the United States, there are only nine pandas. At the Washington, D.C. Zoo, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, the star panda couple, will welcome a baby panda next year. It has been sought after by countless people recently.

Undoubtedly, like later generations, Po's initial concept map impressed the reporters at the scene.

One by one, they raised their hands and wanted to ask questions.

Chen Tian was satisfied with the reaction of the reporters at the scene, but he did not plan to answer immediately.

"I know you're curious to hear more about it, just as the concept has excited us when it first comes to the minds of our employees, but as always, please be patient.

Because there is more news to be provided to everyone, "Kung Fu Panda" is just the beginning.

As you know, we partnered with DreamWorks two months ago. Having acquired the great DreamWorks Animation Division, now we at Miramax will officially establish Miramax Animation Co., Ltd. on November 1st.

The name comes from Miramax and DreamWorks, and we won't let DreamWorks Animation, a giant in the history of animated films, go down into history, after all, it has created a lot of classics for us.

Now that we have inherited the DreamWorks classic, we have an obligation to make her better.

So we will continue to start the filming of "Shrek 3", and no one will refuse a continuation of an excellent series.

In addition, we will also expand the staff of the new Mimeng Animation Co., Ltd., and from now on we will continue to recruit 300 people for various positions, or even more. ”

Chen Tian's words shocked the audience, you must know that major companies are laying off employees now, and the same is true for film companies.

The market is not very good in the era of the big economy. Especially in the past two years.

DreamWorks was forced to sell off DreamWorks Animation Studios, and MGM was on the verge of collapse. Many small and medium-sized film companies are struggling to survive now.

However, Miramax has to expand the team of 300 people on the basis of DreamWorks Animation Studio.

The production cycle of a full-fledged animated film is indeed very long, often requiring hundreds of talents and two or three years or even longer to complete.

Such a long lead time means a high investment and a huge risk.

Once the film is not well released, it is likely to directly bring a huge disaster to the entire company.

However, it was unimaginable that Miramax would have to start the production of three animation masterpieces at the same time.

"Justin, although you yourself have a case of speed and even 100% profitability in making films, animation is not other films.

Can I say you're too confident? It's hard to imagine shareholders agreeing to such a strategic layout.

I think it's not just a problem that can be solved by simply recruiting more people, and I think a lot of people will expect your failure when they hear the news, and they will think that you are extremely conceited. ”

Angus, who had just sat down, stood up directly, in fact, he had a good impression of Chen Tian.

He witnessed the rapid rise of Chen Tian, a yellow man in Hollywood.

He didn't want Chen Tian's legend to be quickly shattered because of his outstanding achievements in the past.

In his opinion, Chen Tian's steps were too big.

Not everyone is like Angus from the perspective of Chen Tianhao, and more people need a news effect.

Compared with Chen Tian's yet another successful news, it is clear that they would prefer to write headlines like "Justin Finally Failed Fiasco" on the front page of entertainment.

Although Miramax was aware of the decision and passed it, it did not mean that everyone supported it.

Both Weinstein brothers were opposed, but Chen Tian was in Ivanka. With the support of the Trump and Ellison siblings, they had the absolute right to speak, and in the end, Miramax and Miemon agreed to Chen's decision.

So Chen Tian was not surprised at all by the reaction of reporters at this moment.

After all, even their own people have big questions, let alone outsiders.

"Angus, thank you my old friend." Chen Tian thanked Angus, "I know how crazy this news is, but I'm not a person who doesn't think with a head.

As to why it seems so urgent, let us leave it to time to tell. ”

Chen Tian did not intend to explain this matter very clearly, only he knew where the confidence of producing three animation masterpieces in three years came from.

Angus didn't know where Chen Tian's confidence came from, and he could only hope that time would prove whether this crazy decision was right or wrong.

"It looks like we're crazy. Yes. It's a bit crazy indeed.

But God will bless those who work hard and are ready for anything. I believe we are the blessed group. Chen Tian said with a smile.

Shit!

It's total!

Bullshit blessed group!

Many reporters in the audience cursed in their hearts that they didn't want Chen Tian and Miramax to be the objects of God's blessing.

Not to mention those rival companies, no one wants Miramax led by Chen Tian to be blessed, and they can't wait for some accident to make Chen Tian lose the ranks.

"It seems that I can continue to make announcements, but you must know that today's conference is only halfway through the main announcement.

You heard it right, let the madness continue. ”

Listening to Chen Tian's words, nearly 200 reporters in the audience gasped.

The news that is about to be announced is not yet halfway there.

They couldn't help but look forward to what other shocking news could break out of Chen Tian's mouth.

"We were talking about our plans for animation films. Let's get back to some of the topics that we are more concerned about.

Everyone knows what I was doing some time ago, in addition to "League of Assassins", I was also participating in and filming my first variety show "Runningman", and many people wanted us to collide with super shows like "American Idol" and "American Supermodel Rookie Contest", and I also wanted to. ”

Oh, crazy!

This bastard is crazy!

Everyone in the audience couldn't believe that Chen Tian really wanted to do this.

But in the next second, they were extremely disappointed, because Chen Tian didn't plan to do so.

"You're going to say I'm crazy! Well, I'm going to disappoint you this time, our release time won't collide with these two super shows, and I don't want the general public to be embarrassed by the three excellent shows.

And NBC doesn't allow me to choose arbitrarily. I'll have to take responsibility for more, so our premiere will be on November 4th. With less than a month to go until the premiere, to be honest, this is the first time I've been worried. Chen Tian clutched his chest and said.

The talents in the audience didn't believe that Chen Tian would be worried because of this, they were somewhat familiar with Chen Tian.

If you're worried, how can you put the show on Thursday, the best schedule of the week?

You know, "Prison Break" more than a month ago was only broadcast on Monday.

In addition, the new episode of the program will be filmed in Hong Kong, a world metropolis.

It is worth mentioning that on the plane I met a wonderful Hong Kong director and we will have the opportunity to work together.

Originally, he was supposed to come to the scene today, but ......" Chen Tian shrugged, Wang Jing has not come yet.

However, it was not that Wang Jing was late, but that he arranged it on purpose.

Do you have a collaboration plan with a Hong Kong director?

The Hong Kong reporter immediately thought of the picture he took when he got off the plane and Wang Jing.

Is it filming with Wang Jing?

At this moment, the door of the conference room was urgently pushed open, and the familiar body of the Hong Kong reporter walked in.

"Sorry, I'm late in a traffic jam." Wang Jing waved his hand and apologized.

Oh, my God!

It turned out to be really cooperating with Wang Jing, and Wang Jing was still late.

Although Chen Tian is not young and has very little debut qualifications, he has already established himself in Hollywood and has done a great job.

Wang Jing was late, which seemed incredible to them, and they already had a lot of news headlines in their minds.

"Hurry up and sit down!" Chen Tian smiled and pointed to the seat, and Wang Jing immediately sat down.

"Yes, you read that right, I will have a joint film plan with director Wang Jing, this film will be what director Wang Jing is best at, and I think Hong Kong friends will be familiar with it.

"Winning 21 Points", director Wang Jing will serve as the director and screenwriter, and I will also be one of the producers and screenwriters.

I believe that director Wang Jing can complete this film very well, this film will start shooting in February next year, and the specific casting will start in December.

In addition to director Wang Jing joining, I am also happy to announce that Matthew. Vaughn, Mark. Sural as well as Gai. Richie will join Miramax. ”

f…… uck！

Cover. Richie joins Miramax!

Miramax is really crazy!

If Wang Jing's news moved the Hong Kong media incredibly, then Mark. Sural, Matthew. Vaughn, Gai. Richie undoubtedly shocked the entire world cinema mainstream.

Especially the cover. Richie, "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Kidnapping and Robbery" are too famous.

And it has had a great impact on the entire world film industry. Many Hollywood companies have offered invitations. But they were all rejected.

However cover. Richie chose to join Miramax instead. Even if Miramax seems to be developing rapidly, it is still very far behind Hollywood giants in essence, especially Miramax, no matter who joins, it cannot replace Chen Tian's position.

"Wow, it looks like this news is incredible.

As for the three of them, there will be corresponding new film plans next year, but there is no specific news yet, if there is, I think I will be happy to inform you as soon as possible. ”

"Well, the news that needs to be announced at this press conference is only the following film shooting plan. These plans will be Miramax's filming plans for next year.

Of course, our important projects are not listed, and some films that are not particularly important are not on the list. ”

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the reporters forcibly threw away the shock just now.

"First of all, in December, that is, at the end of this year, I will start the filming plan of the sci-fi film "Moon", and the heroine will be Scarlett. Johnson, I don't think you're familiar with this news, because everyone knew about it last Christmas.

This will be my second personal sci-fi film, and I know that "This Man is from Earth" is not satisfying to many people, especially many people who have slammed me for just stealing the definition of soft sci-fi. It's not really a sci-fi film.

Then "Moon" will be a real sci-fi film, but unfortunately I can't do the filming miracle of "This Man is from Earth". ”

Hell if you do it!

You think making a movie is a quick thing. It's no wonder you can do it!

So thought to the journalists.

"But 'Moon' should be all shot to post-production within a month, or even faster."

Chen Tian's words once again made the reporters in the audience speechless, completing a science fiction movie in a month is not a soft science fiction like "This Man is from Earth".

Done in a month?

How can it be!

However, Chen Tian ignored the surprise of the reporters in the audience that the film was completed in one month, only he knew that the film did take very little time.

The film took only 33 days to complete all the work, and the other party faced much less difficulty than he now had the resources he had.

Of course, Chen Tian shouted out more for a month for a gimmick and let the media promote for himself, which is what Chen Tian wants.

"I'm going to start shooting 007 in September next year, but I'm only going to direct this film, not actually directing it.

I've already reached an agreement with MGM about this, and of course I'm sure it's going to be exciting, but as for who will direct the film, I'm sorry I can't tell you the exact answer for the time being.

But what I can say is that this director will be one of our Miramax team. ”

Chen Tian did not personally direct the 007 reboot plan, which surprised many reporters.

Although a bunch of people objected to this news after it came out, Chen Tian actually gave up on his own initiative, which seemed incredible to them.

You must know that directing a super commercial masterpiece like 007 is of great help to the improvement of fame.

Could it be that Chen Tian has no confidence? So just nominal?

Many people thought of this answer in unison.

"It's not that I don't have confidence, but for some other reason, and of course the director is going to do a great job, better than me." As for who will direct, Chen Tian does not have an accurate answer.

What MGM needs is a good box office, and Chen Tian has made a promise about this.

No matter who directs it, the box office of the new 007 film will exceed 150 million in North America and more than 400 million worldwide.

If it can't be done, Miramax will pay MGM $50 million.

If it does, then Miramax's net revenue share in 007 will increase by 5%, and increase the revenue from video and DVC Blu-ray discs by 10%.

Although it seems extremely risky, Chen Tian believes that under his control, this pseudonymous 007 can also do that bet.

"One of the reasons why I don't participate in directing is that I have two films planned for next year, "500 Days with Shamo" in September, which is a romance film that will also be a film for me and Scarlett. Johnson's third collaboration after "Buried Alive" and "The Moon".

The other film will be released in March next year, and this film will be a new attempt in my personal directorial career, which is different from the genre I have shot before. ”

A different type than before?

This makes reporters a little curious, you must know that Chen Tian has tried many types since his debut.

From "Buried Alive", "Hard Candy", "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Heartbeat", "Queen Wears Prada", "This Man Comes from Earth" to the action movie "Raid" to the "League of Assassins" that is now being filmed, Chen Tian has tried almost every genre of film.

"Justin, what type of film? Fantasy or disaster? USA Today reporter Bout stood up and asked.

"It's a fantasy drama! However, it is not a special effects commercial blockbuster.

I worked with my good friend Natalie. Portman, who will be the female number one in the film.

The film is called "Black Swan" and tells the story of a ballet dancer.

To be honest, it was stressful for me, but Natalie gave me the confidence that I should be able to shoot it well. ”

"Black Swan"?

Fantasy dramas? Tell the story of a ballet dancer?

Isn't this Ni-Ma a literary film?

This is obviously trying to impact the rhythm of the Oscars? Ambitious!

All of a sudden, five or six reporters in the audience stood up directly. (To be continued......)

PS: It's been replaced!

Yesterday, I posted two single chapters and deleted them.,The general meaning is that the work is now done very well.,Time can be adjusted to the book relatively.。

However, after two months, and then there was no adjustment for nearly a year, the quality is really not guaranteed, but I will do my best to complete the book.

The new book is not in a hurry, anyway, I will write this one first, and I dare not guarantee that it will be updated every day, but I still do my best to do it every two days.

If it is not updated, it will be said after each chapter is released.

Thank you for the friends who have been supporting the king during the break, no matter how many people still read it, Xiao Ai is writing it first anyway.

Especially the general environment is not good, many books have been sealed, and at the same time, I am very glad that Xiao Ai's books have survived since her debut.
