Chapter 59: The Meeting (9th Shift)
Shen Linzhen doesn't have any opinions about Fan Ye, on the contrary, he still respects this heroine among women, not all female stars can call him 'master'!
It's just that just in time for his busy days, it is natural to forget about this stubble.
Ten days after Shen Lin left, he went to the United States to discuss with Bill Dorothy the actors and directors of "Fifty Shades of Grey".
The copyright of "Fifty Shades of Grey" has long been owned by Shen Lin, and as a reborn, there is no reason to let go of this box office hit.
After three rounds of auditions, it was finally decided that Dakota Johnson would play Anataxia. Stiel, as for the actor Christian. Gray is Jamie Dornan, who has been booked for a long time.
The director is Sam Taylor-Johnson, who once directed "The Boy from Nowhere Boy", and she is sure about a movie like "Fifty Shades of Grey"!
"Fifty Shades of Grey" is about SM's movie after all, and it is also an erotic genre film.
This type of film is unlikely to pass the censorship of Big Scissors.
"It is estimated that this movie will not be released in China, so let's go to a large-scale direction!"
Bill said as he picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip: "It's a good idea to expand your influence and participate in the film festival!" ”
"Don't say goodbye, I'm just the opposite of you, I think we should go in the direction of aesthetic love."
Shen Lin waved his hand: "There are still very few SM groups, and more ordinary audiences must like them in order to achieve good box office results." ”
“… Okay, just do as you say, are you going to participate in the film festival? ”
"Bill, I'm just an investor, not a director or producer, I believe you, you want to participate in the film festival, I absolutely agree!"
"OK, then we'll start shooting right away!"
It seems very simple, it took Shen Lin half a month, and when he returned to China, "Monster Hunt" had been released for a month and won a jaw-dropping box office of 2.6 billion, firmly occupying the box office champion in mainland film history.
……
Zhao Liying's studio, Shen Lin, Zhao Liying, Chen Yang and several other studio executives gathered together to discuss how to carry out the project "July and Ansheng".
Shen Lin spoke first: "Director? I'm going to find Chen Kexing, and if he doesn't want to, I'll find someone else. ”
"What about the actors?"
Chen Yang asked while recording, "Do you want to use Li Yitong?" ”
“… Yitong's image is not very suitable, forget it this time, let's find an actor externally! ”
Shen Lin thought about it carefully, but still rejected the proposal.
"Okay, I've got it!"
"Mr. Shen, what's going on with your new project?"
"July and Ansheng" is over, and now it's Shen Lin's turn to work on his new project.
"Oh, it's a low-budget comedy, so you don't have to go through a lot of work."
Shen Lin waved his hand, "The main thing is that I feel a little sorry for the few friends who were encouraged by me to participate in "Happy Comedian", this movie can be regarded as compensation for them." ”
The movie Shen Lin said is "Love Saint", not Xing Ye's work, it is a comedy adapted from the French movie "The Lady in Red".
"However, you have already negotiated with Ali before, and they will give priority to investing in the next work, should this be just them?"
It was Fang Jianhao who spoke, a senior entertainment company that Shen Lin specially poached from Huayi, and is currently the executive president of Zhao Liying Studio.
"But I'm just going to play this movie, and the investment is up to 20 million, and our studio can afford it independently."
Shen Lin thought for a while, "In this way, you can help me talk to Ali, I am going to invest in two big projects to see if they have any intentions." ”
You can't always take care of yourself and take the cake, which is not good.
Although it is very cool to hold a big cake alone, there are many people who are red-eyed, and Ali is also his partner.
"Big project? You're talking about "Tomb Robbery Notes"? ”
From the beginning of Fang Jianhao's entry into the company, he knew that Shen Lin intended to create a series of movies called "Notes on Tomb Robbery", but so far he has not seen any action.
"Well, I went to the United States this time, and I have already negotiated with Disney that the first three films will be produced together, with a total investment of 500 million US dollars, and our studio will account for the majority..."
"Did you direct and write the screenplay?"
"Of course, I can't believe it if someone else had changed."
Shen Lin nodded as a matter of course, and then said: "There is another project, which I chatted with Jiang Zhiqiang by chance, and we are going to create the "Fengshen" series!" ”
“… Mr. Shen, I have to remind you that HK's Yongsheng is already working on "Legend of the Gods", and it is said that Li Lianjie, Liang Jiahui, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and a series of first-line big names have been invited! ”
"Hehe, I know, when that movie is launched, you will know why I want to make "Fengshen"!"
Shen Lin sneered a few times, exuding a wave of disdain from his bones.
"Okay, what about the "Gods" series, how much are you going to invest?"
"According to our conception, after the trilogy, it is unlikely that there will be no 3 billion..."
"How much? 3 billion? ”
Zhao Liying has been quietly doing her auditor until Shen Lin said the number '30' billion!
"It's less than $500 million in dollars."
Shen Lin knows his daughter-in-law very well, and he has always been careful in his calculations, and when he heard 3 billion, he must be a little incompetent.
“… Where did you get that much money? ”
"I only cashed out $600 million from Alibaba last month, don't you know? Didn't I tell you? ”
Well, the boss and the proprietress quarrel every day, and the other people in the studio don't see it.
“… Well, you can do it! ”
My husband wants to do big things, as a little daughter-in-law, what else can Zhao Liying do?
I can only show my support.
"By the way, Chen Yang, do you have any books that are suitable for our family Liying recently?"
Zhao Liying has been idle for almost half a year, and there has been no suitable script.
"There are two TV series that are quite suitable, "The Legend of Chu Qiao" and "The Legend of King Ming", both of which are TV series adapted from big IPs, with a wide readership, as long as they are filmed, they are not bad compared to the influence, but... There is a kiss scene. ”
"It's okay, she's mine now, she doesn't have to be like that before! Besides, you can borrow a kiss scene or something! What about movies? ”
“… In terms of movies, there are a lot of scripts, but there are very few suitable ones, except for "Journey to the West: Daughter Country", by the way, the new work "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige, should we try it? ”
"This, you think about it yourself, Director Kai is a big director after all, and being able to star in his movies is very beneficial to your own coffee position consolidation!"
Shen Lin thought for a while, and then said: "Of course, if you don't like the script, we won't fight for it!" Everything is based on the requirements of the script! ”
"Okay, I got it!"
"By the way, who is the male protagonist of "Daughter Country"?"
"Let me take a look, the Monkey King is the king Guo Fucheng, and the Tang monk is Feng Shaofeng..."
"Push it, I don't like Feng Shaofeng very much."
It's already uncomfortable to hear Von Teddy's name!
“… But the hero of "The Legend of King Ming" is also him! ”
""The Legend of King Ming" is Dongyang's afternoon work, right? Let them change the protagonist, just say I recommend it, let Nie Yuan go! ”
