Although Chen Tian hopes that the future investment will be borne by himself, he knows that there is a lot of risk in doing so.
Even a traditional giant like MGM has planted a heel in several large-scale zuò, thus causing the entire company to earthquake, not to mention himself.
"You acquiesced, right? To be honest, I know it's a good way.
Others will always be the ones who get small profits, but there will be a lot of risk in this way.
I know that we are wholly owned and you are only responsible for the film, which is not in my eyes, but what I would say is that we can be wholly owned or partially involved, and in any case, we will avoid your risk in a certain way.
You can think about the scenes where we worked together, and we can level a lot of things for you, from the actors to the crew to the most realistic money.
I'm sure you're willing to make blockbuster films, but for a variety of reasons, from copyright to money. David Ellison said a little.
Without waiting for Chen Tian to speak, Megan Ellison on the side continued: "For the two of us, copyright and money are an equal sign, unless they are unwilling to sell, as long as they are willing to do so, they can negotiate."
Of course, the premise is that we are willing to buy, and in my opinion there is nothing that money can't buy, although this sentence sounds very sick, but this is the reality. Eighteen-year-old Megan Ellison is speaking with a sense of maturity.
"We don't know how much you've invested in your new film, but we're sure it's going to be a great film.
I think we can start working together from it, and I'm only responsible for funding and all the mess.
You can do whatever you want with the money, and I'm sure we'll be a great partner. David Ellison stared at Chen Tian tightly, "Justin, if you will. ”
"We don't interfere with anything you do with the film, we don't enforce our interests, we can sit down and talk every time. Megan Ellison added.
In the face of such a **, it is absolutely impossible to say that Chen Tian is not moved: "David, Megan." ”
Chen Tian looked at David and Megan Ellison opposite: "To be honest, this is an extremely tempting condition, and it can even be said that no one can resist it." ”
When I heard that, I was very happy. David Ellison said with a smile.
Chen Tian thought for a while: "I have two upcoming films in my hands, one is a feature documentary and the other is the sunny little beauty who will appear at the New York Film Festival at the end of the month.
In addition to the upcoming casting, there are three more films planned.
There's one that my partner James Wing is working on recently, and it's a great thriller, and he'll be in charge of the whole film.
I'll direct the other two, but I'll have to wait until next year to start shooting. ”
Chen Tian's words shocked David Ellison and Megan Ellison, and their brother and sister could never have imagined that Chen Tian's filming plan would be so intensive.
"Justin, what should I say?" David Ellison said, "You're so good, I can't think of any words that can be used for you." ”
Chen Tian smiled: "At present, the investment in this film ready for casting is not large, and my initial budget is $1 million. ”
"1 million? is another small production?" said David Ellison, a little disappointed.
The cost of 8 million yuan of Sunshine Little Beauty made him feel that the investment in the film that Chen Tian was about to start filming should not be too small, and the result was only a budget of 1 million.
"Justin, I know you're not short of the 1 million, but I still hope you seriously consider our proposal.
Of course, if we can't cooperate this time, I still hope that we will have the opportunity to work together next time. Megan Ellison also felt her brother's disappointment.
How could Chen Tian not feel David Ellison's loss: "David, you said that you started with a small system, and now you give me 100 million US dollars, and I am not sure to handle this huge amount of money."
A little bit from a small size to a big one, that's my idea, and if you're willing to accept it, I want us to work together. ”
The choice of Chen Tian is also based on the good reputation of the Ellison brothers and sisters in later generations, and indeed as they themselves said, they will hardly interfere with the director, and the director will almost respond to his needs.
For any director, it is undoubtedly happy to meet such an investor, and Chen Tian thinks about it more.
In addition to the fact that they can settle a lot of things, they can also provide a certain boost for Chen Tian's future impact on the Oscars.
Otherwise, the color of his skin would be enough to make him hit a wall in front of the Oscars for many, many years, even if the United States flaunts equality.
As an American upper-class Ellison family, it will undoubtedly help him get a lot of things, although it seems that Chen Tian will indeed make less money, but it will also avoid a lot of unnecessary risks and bring more stable income.
In addition, the superhero movies that have gradually become popular since the beginning of the new century are also the super-productions that countless directors dream of.
But without taking refuge in Warner Bros. and Amazement, it is impossible for Chen Tian to shoot these comic book hero series that can be called super commercial films.
And even if he invests in it, he may not be able to get the right to shoot, especially when the Hulk filmed by Ang Lee in the summer vacation this year made Amatsu and Universal lose a lot of money.
However, the Ellison siblings could undoubtedly change that, and money was not an issue for them.
But now that he and the Ellison siblings had just met, he wouldn't have come up with such an idea at this time.
And Chen Tian also hopes that if possible, he can participate in it himself, instead of just being a spectator and just a director with the right to speak.
"Happy cooperation! We'll give you half a million dollars later, and hopefully this is the beginning of our great cooperation." David Ellison held out his hand to Chen Tian.
"I'm sure it will. Chen Tian's hand shook with David Ellison.
When Chen Tian returned home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Actress Guild Carey Robin, who dealt with Chen Tian during the casting of Little Sunshine Beauty, is still in charge of the casting, and Chen Tian will be auditioning for the hard candy actress at a theater near the Los Angeles Walk of Fame tomorrow morning.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Chen Tian set off from his home, and he will go to the theater with Wen Ziren and Chrissy for this casting.
When the car passed the same road where he fainted last time, Chen Tian did not see the girl in the banana suit.
"Justin, you're here, it's our second time working together, and I hope there's a third, fourth, or even more time. Kyrie Robin gave Chen Tian a hug.
"Robin, how many people auditioned today?"
"There are almost 100 people who have submitted resumes, and there are still 48 people after our initial screening, and you will definitely be able to find the right one for you. Carey Robin said with a smile.
"I hope so. ”
When all the audition equipment in the theater was ready, there were already many girls outside, and this time Chen Tian's age standard for the heroine was set at 12 to 16 years old.
"The first one!"
With Carey Robin's voice in her voice, the first girl walked in.
Looking at the girl who walked in, Chen Tian always felt a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it.
And the little girl who auditioned also looked at Chen Tian in some surprise, she also felt as if she had seen Chen Tian somewhere.
"It turned out to be the sick man that Ronne had defeated that day. ”
The girl thought about it, and the whole person couldn't help but panic.
