Chapter 608 of the text volume Disney's golden partner

Next chapter

Hollywood has a mature film industry system, and the shooting of a movie is like a sophisticated machine, each link is responsible for a special person, and everyone on the assembly line performs their duties. ＜?＜（

Out of the pursuit and awe of capital, the producer who represents the interests of investors, whether in name or in actual work, is the most authoritative person in the entire crew.

Clarke? Spencer is a famous Hollywood producer, but also Disney's first-line gold medal maker, Animal Utopia, Invincible Destruction King, Winnie the Pooh and other masterpieces are all from his hands, has always been known for almost strict high standards.

After hearing the request of the two directors, Spencer's first reaction was to refuse without hesitation.

The preliminary work of the whole film lasted two and a half years, and the script was revised a full 19 times before it was finalized and filming, and now all the 'actors' have to be replaced, which is unacceptable in any way.

Spencer, of course, knew that Disney had intended to cooperate with Huaxia to use some real animals in the filming, but that was only a part, in Huaxia's words, it was the icing on the cake, not necessary.

If all the actors are replaced now, it not only means that a large part of the upfront investment has been wasted, but it is likely that the other party will also ask for a share of the box office - animals that can film are rare resources, controlled by the other party, and completely a seller's market.

Strictly speaking, the other party 'guides' the animals to act, and the two parties are in a cooperative filmmaking relationship.

In case the animals are not up to the show, they will have to go back to the original route and use computer special effects, which will delay the completion of the film and be a big expense.

Director Howard's considerations are out of art and the film itself, and the producer Spencer is not on the same channel at all, and it is difficult to convince Spencer.

Moore's role was manifested at this time, and he used only two reasons for Spencer to be tempted.

First, the investment is never wasted, and it may even be saved.

The planned investment of the film is 200 million US dollars, of which more than 6o% is used in the production of a series of technical work, such as story version, 2D plane creation, 2D character design, 3D character design, modeling, materials, lighting, animation, rendering, etc.; The use of real animals for shooting, the funds in this area can be saved by at least half, and the total investment will not only not increase, but will decrease;

Second, the market outlook will be better.

Some viewers have already seen Zootopia starring real animals, and the North American market has a very good enthusiasm for shooting with real animals. Of course, the premise is that real animal shots must also be vivid.

In addition, the Huaxia market is a big cake that cannot be ignored, and a Huaxia company participates in the filming of a film starring animals in Huaxia is tantamount to the best publicity, which can definitely effectively open the Huaxia market and save a lot of publicity costs.

"Mr. Spencer, there is a big difference between the Chinese market and the Western market. China's economy has taken off very quickly, but the time is too short, nearly a hundred years of humiliating modern history, the Chinese people still have the idea of a strong country and a widow in their bones, on the one hand, they have a strong sense of national self-esteem, and do not allow their own nation and country to be harmed; On the other hand, they inevitably worship the West, in their own words, that is, worship the West and flatter the foreign. Once we have a creative team in Huaxia, it will make all Huaxia people feel a sense of pride, and I am sure that even if this film is bad, in Huaxia, it will definitely have an amazing box office. ”

"It's a very conflicting heart, they seem to value what others think of them." Howard shrugged.

"Howard, I want to remind you to keep your mouth shut, business is business, and I am only analyzing it from the perspective of maximizing commercial benefits. Just as we Americans always think of the protagonist as a hero who saves all mankind, every country has its own not-so-good side, if the other party is British, I will take advantage of their self-righteous arrogance, it is French, I target their boring romance, it is Japanese, I will take advantage of their innate inferiority, it is Korean...... Oh, forget about North Korea, it's a soil without commercial profits, and if you sown seeds, it won't blossom. Moore said.

"Okay Moore, you also take care of your mouth, and if you keep talking, the whole world will be offended by you."

Mr. Spencer interrupted the chatter of the two artists: "You convinced me, so, I will convince the board." The board of directors should send a negotiation team to Huaxia to contact the other company, and one of you will accompany you to confirm that the other party's animal is indeed capable of filming. ”

"I'll go." Howard said.

"Remember to bring me some good tea back, that thing is more refreshing to drink than coffee." Moore said.

……

"It seems that you are not only a capable person, but also a lucky general." Su Ming said to Cai Liming with a smile.

Yesterday afternoon, the headquarters of Disney Studios called, hoping to cooperate with Taoyuan Film and Television Company to jointly shoot a movie starring all animals.

The title of the film zoot translates to, animal utopia, animal big city.

Or to follow the style of the previous Zootopia, it can be called 'Zootopia'.

From the phone, the other party is full of sincerity this time, and will send a professional team to Yangchuan City to negotiate and investigate. Su Ming agreed without hesitation, the previous talks with the Xiangjiang branch of the Disney Company collapsed, but he was not an enemy at all, at best, it was a small unpleasantness. What's more, there are no permanent enemies in the mall, and cooperating with an old big company like Disney, as long as the luck is not too bad, it is a sure win.

"It's not so much my luck, it's better to say that the previous Zootopia opened up the situation, although it didn't make money, but it earned word of mouth and eyeballs, and Taoyuan Company entered the vision of the Western world." Cai Liming said.

"What has entered the Western vision is not Taoyuan Pictures now, it is just an animal. And the results of the next negotiations between the two sides can determine whether Taoyuan Pictures can enter the vision of the West. ”

Cai Liming has rich experience in dealing with overseas film circles, and Su Ming gave him full responsibility for specific dialogue matters at the negotiation table, and only mentioned a few principles.

First, Taoyuan Pictures is not assisting in filming, let alone renting animals, but cooperating with both parties to shoot;

Su Ming is confident that co-shooting, which means that this film is not 'imported from overseas', and there is no need to grab the annual introduction quota.

Second, the people of Taoyuan Film and Television must be in charge of the whole process, at least one assistant director position, and Taoyuan Company has the right to send people to learn from every aspect of production, even if it is at the expense of some interests.

It is better to teach people and fish, it is better to teach people and fish, and we must cultivate a film and television production team of our own, and Disney is the best mentor. If Wang Jin is at most at the level of Quanzhen's seven sons, Disney Studios is a proper top five in the world.
