Chapter 358: Double Project Approval

The next day's DreamWorks headquarters conference room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Headed by Zhao Jisen and Zhang Lantian, there are special effects companies Gu Gaoyi, Ji Fei and Zhu Chengzhi below.

Fu Qiang and Liu Kai of the DreamWorks Publicity and Production Department, Wu Juan from the Artist Department, Rob from the Peak CEO Department, as well as a kind of researcher, finance department, legal department and other departments.

Many people do not come to participate in the resolution, but to have regular meetings.

Wang Meng has absolute dominance, it's just that he said, these people do it.

"That's it, I'll talk about it briefly. Wang Meng said after receiving a prompt from his assistant Lu Jieshu.

"I think everyone knew about it yesterday, but I didn't expect this kind of good thing to fall on our heads, it seems that the country attaches great importance to the animation industry. Wang Meng smiled.

Wang Meng didn't want to make the memories very serious, so he came up to set the melody, which was a memory for good discussion, not a serious decision memory.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that when we were on the news broadcast, Lao Zhu was angry. Zhao Jisen said with a smile, and teased Zhu Chengzhi after speaking.

"Fluke. Zhu Chengzhi was very happy, but said: "However, people are not stupid, you see, the whole news has nothing to do with me at all, it is all about Director Wang......?

Zhu Chengzhi's mentality is obviously much better than Liu Zhiyuan's mentality at the beginning, and he knows the positioning very clearly.

And Wang Meng has already revealed the "Kung Fu Panda" plan to him, and now that he has paid attention to "Kung Fu Panda", he will still care about this.

"I'll just move my mouth and say, Lao Zhu's first on-site production, or you did a good job. Wang Meng said to Zhu Chengzhi.

He also said: "Okay, there are two things to say about calling everyone today, Xiao Lu will send the information." ”

Wang Meng said to Lu Jieshu that the prepared "Kung Fu Panda" plan was given to everyone.

The crowd didn't ask much and looked at the information.

But it's shocking to watch, 70 million US dollars, 3D animation, released worldwide, and is expected to take a year and a half to make, "Kung Fu Panda" ......

These numbers and words and phrases obviously shocked everyone.

No one knows how to speak.

Rob, who participated in such a top-level meeting for the first time, was very excited, this was the top-level meeting of the head office, and his participation was a symbol of status.

And I was excited to see such a plan.

"Boss, I have to say that this plan of yours is too big to imagine?" said Rob.

"Well, that's right. ”

"Good guys, $70 million, cartoons!"

"More than 500 million yuan, what kind of investment is this?"

A lot of people at DreamWorks are obviously hard to understand.

"How about everyone take a look?" Wang Meng knew that these guys were shocked to watch.

To say that Wang Meng used $70 million to make a movie, they can barely understand and accept it, but $70 million for an animated film is obviously too outrageous, albeit in a 3D version.

"This, Director Wang, can you tell me about the plan?" Zhao Jisen, as the first person in Wang Mengxi, saw that everyone did not dare to speak at will, and he had to express his position as the nominal president.

"Okay, let me tell you, this 3D animation, will use the current top special effects 3D technology, which is a pioneering initiative of our company, and it is also a key step to promote the animated movie to the world......

Wang Meng said it according to his own understanding, in short, there are many professional words that everyone doesn't understand, but they know that they are very good.

"I expect that if it meets expectations, the world will receive more than 700 million US dollars at the box office, and you can see clearly, this is the core of China, the shell of the West, and simply put, the global ......"

Wang Meng said it, and they were obviously a little confused.

I didn't hear anything else clearly, but I heard Wang Meng say clearly, and the global box office is expected to be more than 700 million US dollars.

"Director Wang, you said 700 million ...... dollars, this ......" Zhang Lantian was shocked.

"If it meets my expectations, it's just a little more. ”

The previous "Kung Fu Panda" was produced by DreamWorks, and it was the brainchild of Blue Sky Animation in the early stage, but DreamWorks acquired Blue Sky Animation Studio. The original box office reached $631 million worldwide and sparked a wave of trends.

After the movie appeared, it quickly became popular all over the world, and the original space-time dream factory made a lot of money from it, and the surrounding development brought rich returns, not to mention the success of the first part, which laid a solid foundation for the subsequent series.

The subsequent "Kung Fu Panda 2" grossed $670 million worldwide, and the third part reached nearly $1 billion worldwide.

This time, Wang Meng is confident that through publicity and popularity, coupled with domestic and Asian popularity, the first part will reach more than 700 million US dollars.

"That'...... That...... Then what else to say, just shoot. "Fu Qiang, the production department of DreamWorks, is very simple, he is a solid supporter of Wang Meng, and he trusts Wang Meng too much.

"That's right, so many box office hits. "Wang Meng's cousin Zhou Hui is the same.

On the contrary, Zhang Lantian and Zhao Jisen looked at each other and smiled bitterly, it seemed that Wang Meng had already decided after saying that the expected box office.

"Even if it's 500 million US dollars, we can currently get 45% of the share in China and the United States, and 30% of the share in Europe and Asia, which is equivalent to 40% of the share, which is 200 million US dollars in revenue, minus the cost of 70 million, and 130 million. "There is a supporter Liu Kai.

"Since BOSS has such determination, and has also come up with the investigation and the estimated box office, plus the company is not short of funds, I think it is necessary to shoot, but also be cautious, the peak "Twilight" is also going to be filmed, and the two have an investment of nearly 100 million US dollars...... So?" Rob was a little apprehensive.

"I think Rob is right, but don't forget that we still have a few works that are about to be recovered, and I believe in Director Wang's vision. Zhang Lantian thought for a while and said.

"Yes. "Zhao Jisen.

Wang Meng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he didn't want the company to become a word, this was not a healthy way of development.

But I don't want people to disagree with my plan, and I am a typical pretending to be idle. Now that Zhang Lantian and Zhao Jisen agree, there is no problem, and the opinions of these two people are quite important.

"That's good, try to set up the project as soon as possible, Director Zhu is still the director this time, and I will also have a director and production position, in addition, Director Zhu and Manager Gu want to discuss with Rob and contact the Hollywood animation company, it will be difficult for us to complete the production ourselves in two years. ”

"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Rob later. Zhu Chengzhi replied.

"Rob, after you go to the United States, find a few powerful animation companies and try to take the lead in reaching the plan, no problem, right?" Wang Meng asked Rob.

"Boss, it's no problem at all, there are too many animation companies in the United States that have gone bankrupt right now, and I think as long as the news is announced, it's not me who goes to them, but they come to me. Rob said with a shrug.

"That's good, it's best to cooperate, by the way to find some skilled personnel, can be wooed, can be dug dig, we need such talents, the salary is easy to say. ”

"Boss, it's even more fine, it's on me. "Rob.

Wang Meng nodded, as Rob said, there are too many animation talents in the United States, and there are also those who can't eat and drink, so find some skilled ones to attract to China, so that they can train technical talents for themselves.

Originally, Wang Meng wanted to get a special effects company in the United States, but he felt that it was not necessary, as long as the dream became bigger. It can also drive the country's special effects technology and talents, which is a bit selfish.

"Then the next plan, hmm!" Wang Meng didn't know what to say, and looked very awkward.

Everyone didn't understand what Wang Meng was twisting, why was it a little uncomfortable?

"That's right, I'm pretty much done with my plans for next year's new work. Wang Mengdao.

"Okay, what is Director Wang's work? Let's see. Zhang Lantian said.

"Yes, what is Director Wang's masterpiece?"

"Wang Dao ......"

Seeing the enthusiastic everyone, Wang Meng was a little depressed, and said in his heart, I don't know if my works also cost money, or spend a lot of money.

"That's right, I have an idea, a sci-fi idea, and the plan is huge, like Kung Fu Panda just now, as long as the first part is done, it will be a series. Wang Meng said.

"What kind of science fiction theme?" Zhao Jisen.

Wang Mengdao: "Philosophy, theology, atheism have a strong performance, there are many contents involving Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity, but also contains the concept of enlightenment, nirvana, rebirth, the depth of Hinduism and Buddhism involved in free will against fate, is a long-conceived plot, hard science fiction theme, action as an auxiliary, exploration and extension of the topic is also a lot, a subversive work, a human cognition, the extension of the world's cognition." ”

"So powerful?"

"Wow!"

After Wang Meng finished speaking, everyone felt incredible, it seems that Wang Meng's works have always been groundbreaking, but this time it seems to be very cautious.

"I've done a lot of work, but this one is important, and I'm proud to say that as long as it meets expectations, it's as good as Star Wars and Harry Potter. ”

"So, Director Wang, what do you need us to do?" Zhao Jisen said.

"Hey!" Wang Meng sighed, everyone believed in him very much, it seemed that he was thinking too much, and said: "I need everyone's support, this will be a co-production between DreamWorks and Dingfeng, the actor Sino-American cooperation, I will be the first starring role, and the special effects are used very much, and the investment is expected to be 50 million to 70 million US dollars." Look at the publicity and the problems in the shooting. ”

After speaking, everyone did not speak.

"Let's take a look at the script. Wang Meng said to Lu Jie.

Lu Jieshu had already prepared it, and sent the script again.

Until nearly half an hour of silence.

"Smack!", Zhang Lantian slapped the table, "Shoot, you must shoot, Director Wang's script is incredible, it is simply subversive, and it is many times more magical than "Butterfly Effect". ”

"I'm in favor of filming, it's amazing, God. ”

"Oh buy karma, God, it's so exciting, there is such a setting, boss, are you a god?"

……

This time there is almost no obstacle, it is different from what Wang Meng expected, obviously it is the script and the setting in it that conquer everyone.

And Wang Meng plays the starring role, which is also reassuring.

In fact, Wang Meng was also afraid that he would not be able to get it, so he had to go into battle by himself, and he replaced Keanu Reeves in the starring role.

Lawrence Fishburne, a famous black movie star, kept him in order to keep it as he was.

And the original heroine of Kelly Ann Mouss, Wang Meng decided to replace it with Scarlett Johansson, remembering that Scarlett performed very well in "Black Widow" in the previous life and could act in action scenes.

With Scarlett, plus Lawrence Fishburne, and some Chinese and Hollywood actors for the supporting roles, such a cast is absolutely strong.

And the bullet time cast in the previous life,Will let the dream special effects go to PR.,The last version was 1999.,Now it's 08.,This technology is very simple.。

As for the martial arts instructor, let's find Yuan Heping, the actions created by Yuan Heping in the previous version made "The Matrix" a classic, and this time it is the same.

And Wang Meng decided to shoot 3D, although it is not the configuration of the IMAX giant screen, but at present, 3D is also the top shooting technology.
