Hollywood is located in the suburbs of New York, is the center of the global music and film industry, DreamWorks, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Columbia, Sony, Universal, WB (Warner Bros.) and other movie giants, as well as top record companies such as RCAJIVEInterscopeRecords are gathered in the scope of Hollywood, which has been imitated all over the world.
Speaking of the birth of Hollywood, it has a lot to do with the great inventor Edison, when Edison held many patents on film, especially the invention and design of film equipment, with these patents, the trust film company he founded was in a monopoly position in the film industry, basically controlling the film market, those producers who were unwilling to obey their orders, have looked for a new way out, in order to get rid of Edison's monopoly and start anew.
These producers found an escape from Edison's control, and that was Hollywood, which had superior natural locations and well-developed transportation. In addition, California is very far away from Edison's state of New Jersey, and it was difficult for Edison to control his patent rights here. There weren't as many of Edison's men in California, and even if he did, the news often leaked out so that Hollywood studios could hide in nearby Mexico. Edison's nemesis, Carl Remu, also built in Hollywood and founded Universal as the new film industry king.
It is worth mentioning that, contrary to the booming Hollywood, Edison's film patent company, Trust Film Company, which was the catalyst of Hollywood, was declared illegal by a US court after only 10 years, and Trust Film Company went bankrupt and collapsed.
Fang Yang's Feiyang Entertainment Company has set up a branch here, which is in charge of Gao Xiaosong, but due to the unstable foundation, there is no way to independently produce films, especially the large-scale production of hundreds of millions of dollars, so all the film productions are in cooperation with DreamWorks.
Gao Xiaosong is always worried about this, and always wants to develop and expand the branch, but this is not an overnight thing, the top film companies such as DreamWorks have a history of more than 100 years, even if the Raptors cross the river, it is difficult to force the head snake, so the only task given to him by Fang Yang is to pull up his special effects team.
Fang Yang wants to make a pinnacle work like "Avatar", for him, the script is already there, and the director is also the best, in another time and space, Cameron Kashen is the best director, but in this time and space, Fang Yang is about to replace him as the supreme god, and there is naturally no problem in terms of actors, the only problem is the special effects.
The reason why this film has achieved the pinnacle status is that in addition to having a good script, it is also a visual feast, and the perfect special effects play a great role in it.
With Gao Xiaosong's efforts, Feiyang Entertainment's special effects team has begun to take shape, of course, the members of the team are all elites recruited from the special effects teams of various film companies, Fang Yang is not stingy with the attraction of talents, as long as there are skilled talents, the treatment he gives is at least two or three times that of the original.
He named his special effects team Marvel, hoping that they could create one miracle after another in the history of ZĆ o cinema. The miracle special effects team has not accepted the business for the time being, and all the special effects of the movie invested by Fang Yang are handed over to the special effects team of DreamWorks to complete, but he did not let the miracle special effects team idle, but let them carry out part of the special effects production of "Avatar".
In other words, although this movie has not yet been established, the special effects have already taken the lead, because many of the special effects required by this movie are difficult to do in this era, and it takes a long time to constantly try to make them, so Fang Yang gave them time in advance, and as for the funding, how much to give.
Zhao Wei, another big director of Feiyang Entertainment, was idle after filming "Alice in Wonderland", Fang Yang wanted to let her continue filming the sequel "Alice in Wonderland: Wonder in the Mirror" while the iron was hot, but DreamWorks' animation company was producing "Shrek 2" and couldn't spare time, so Fang Yang thought about it and gave her a choice.
"I have a lot of scripts on hand, Adventure in the Center of the Earth, Painted Skin 2, Mulan, you choose one of them yourself, I will build yƬ you shoot Adventure in the Center of the Earth, this box office table should be the best of the three."
Zhao Wei finished reading all three scripts and said: "I chose Mulan, I think that when the director reaches my level, the box office doesn't matter, so I choose the script I like." ā
Fang Yang laughed, scraped two fingers on her cheeks and said, "Shame on your face, when did you start to brag and return to this height?" I don't even dare to say that. ā
Zhao smiled and said: "I'm a near-ink black, I learned it all from you, but you really can't compare to my height, I am already the world's highest-grossing female director." ā
Fang Yang was stunned and thought about it, in another time and space, the world's highest-grossing female director is a Korean who directed "Kung Fu Panda 2", and now this crown has been grabbed by Zhao Wei's "Alice in Wonderland", and the box office is more than one billion dollars, far exceeding the more than 600 million of "Kung Fu Panda 2", which means that she can wear this crown on her head for many, many years.
Fang Yang nodded and said: "It's really oh, unconsciously, your achievements are higher than mine, it looks like I need to work harder, I want to keep up with you and become the highest-grossing male director in the world." ā
Zhao Wei kissed him on the face and said, "I have the glory I have now, it's all your credit, and this kiss is your reward." ā
Fang Yang shook his head and said, "Just a kiss?" It's too stingy, at least a hundred and eighty kisses, or you cooperate with it in the evening and complete that set of difficult movements. ā
Zhao blushed slightly and poked at the door of his head, and said, "Little villain." My sister's waist is not soft, and she can't do difficult movements, so she wants to do it and go to your little vixen to do it. ā
Zhao Wei decided to return to China to shoot "Mulan", this is an ancient Chinese war drama, naturally it is necessary to shoot in China, the original shooting of this movie is not good enough, and the box office is not outstanding, but Fang Yang believes that Zhao Wei has gone through this higher level of learning and practice in Hollywood, and the director's level has improved, and now let her return to shoot domestic films, maybe there will be a breakthrough.
Of course, the biggest flaw in the original is mainly the lack of funds, for this, Fang Yang was not stingy, allocated 300 million yuan, converted into US dollars is less than 50 million, but in China can be regarded as the highest cost of large-scale production, and later Zhao Wei did not spend 200 million yuan until the completion of the shooting.
