Chapter 193: Everything Goes Well

readx;

Been a partner for more than ten years, Jason? What is Cruise's surname, Harry? Sloane understands, of course. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info also know Jason? Cruise is also talking casually, making a fuss, that's all. On business, Jason? Cruise is definitely not going to get confused. So, Harry? Sloan didn't bother with Jason either? Cruise, on the contrary, looked at Han Quanyou with a smile.

"Lee, the momentum of Transformers is very good at the moment, and it has already brought us a huge harvest and popularity at MGM. I wonder if it's time for us to keep up the good work and prepare for a new movie! ”

After all, Harry? Sloan looked at Han Quanyou expectantly, and he was also very eager to hope that Han Quanyou would nod and agree to his proposal.

There is no way, MGM Pictures is still a film company after all, and the only way for the company to develop and grow is to keep shooting wonderful movies. And Han Kwon-woo has proven his talent in screenwriting, especially the screenwriter of commercial blockbusters, with three films, so Harry? Sloan is only now desperately hoping for that, Han Kwonwoo can nod his head and prepare a new movie.

But at the time of the proposal, Harry? Sloan is still very careful, after all, Han Quanwoo's identity is not only a screenwriter and actor, but also the new head of MGM Pictures, his boss. As a subordinate, to make such a request from your boss, Harry? Sloan was really afraid that Han would be angry.

As a boss, he was proposed by his subordinates and asked to work by himself, I am afraid that anyone will feel strange in their hearts, not a taste.

But it can't be helped, for MGM's sake, Harry? Sloane had no choice but to bite the bullet. At least for now, Han Kwonwoo has become Harry completely? Sloan thought MGM Pictures was the best savior.

At the most difficult time of MGM Studios' crisis, it was the emergence of Han Kwon Woo that injected a large amount of money into MGM. When MGM Studios was at a loss, it was Han Kwon-woo who stepped up and created "Transformers", the box office blockbuster that is now so hot.

All of this makes Harry? Sloan was constantly shocked and sighed. Even now, Harry? Sloan already has a hint of admiration for Han Kwon-woo, as if as long as Han Kwon-woo decides, there will be no mistakes, and as long as Han Kwon-woo is here, MGM Pictures will not fall.

"Preparing for a New Movie !!" Han Quanyou was stunned, and couldn't help but think of Angelina? Julie couldn't help clapping her palms and said, "By the way, I almost forgot, old Harry, you should go to do one thing as soon as possible, go to Universal to talk about a movie, this movie is adapted from a comic, and the name is "Wanted". ”

"Uh~~~ Why?" Harry? Sloan looked at Han Quanyou with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Han Quanyou was planning to do, how to talk about the next work, Han Quanyou actually asked him to go to the world to talk about a movie.

"It's nothing, because I'm very optimistic about this movie, and next, I'm going to have MGM Pictures shoot it. However, at present, the copyright fee of this "Wanted" belongs to Universal, so I hope that you can get the copyright fee of the movie "Wanted" back, as long as Universal is not too excessive, any conditions can be negotiated! ”

"What about Transformers, what about Transformers?" Harry? Sloan was anxious, after all, as early as the filming of "Transformers 1", Han Quanyou once said that this is not just a single film, but is preparing to shoot "Transformers" into a movie series.

You know, about Harry? Sloan is looking forward to it, at least from the current popularity of "Transformers 1", it can be seen that "Transformers" will definitely be very popular as long as it is made into a movie series.

If MGM Pictures can successfully shoot the popular "Transformers" movie series, then it will have huge benefits for MGM Pictures' popularity, influence, and even status. After all, a successful and excellent movie series can often support any huge film company with the help of the film series.

Now, hearing Han Kwon-woo say that he would go to Universal to talk to the other party about the copyright of another movie, this time let Harry? Sloane was in a hurry. What does this mean, is it that you are not going to continue filming the sequel to "Transformers", how can this be. No matter how good and excellent other movies are, they are not as good as their own movies.

Of course, this is also Harry? Sloan's subconscious thought, if a movie can guarantee a global box office of more than half a billion dollars, I'm afraid Harry? Sloan didn't say a word, he nodded in agreement.

"No, now "Transformers 1" has just been released, although it is very popular with fans, but if it has been filmed like this one a year, it will definitely make the audience have visual fatigue, so the sequel must be stopped, and at least a year will be filmed, and the shooting will take about half a year, and the blank period of about a year and a half will be vacated so that fans will not have visual fatigue!"

Han Quanyou shook his head and explained, if it was before, I'm afraid Han Quanyou would really shoot the "Transformers" movie series in one go. But yesterday I attended the meeting, by James? After Cameron's reminder, Han Quanyou suddenly realized that if you think about the movie series that seem to be Hollywood, there is a gap of more than a year in almost the middle. understands the serious consequences of visual fatigue among fans, so Han Kwon-woo will definitely not rush to shoot the "Transformers" movie series now.

"Okay, okay then, but "Wanted" is a Universal movie after all, and it may be difficult to get it!" Harry? Sloan is also an old filmmaker, and of course he is not unaware of the serious consequences of visual fatigue among fans. Just because of the success of "Transformers 1", Harry? Sloan was excited, so he didn't think about it. After Han Quanyou's explanation, Harry? Sloan reacted, too.

"It's okay, I've got reliable information that Universal seems to be conflicting about the filming of "Wanted" at the moment, and "Wanted" has been delayed for a long time. This also made the director and main actors of "Wanted" very dissatisfied. At this time, as long as we show up to talk to the other party and pay a little more benefit, the other party will definitely agree in the midst of the conflict. In addition, almost all the key personnel of "Wanted" are more inclined to cooperate with our MGM studios. After all, in the field of film, we at MGM Pictures are not comparable to Universal. ”

"Alright then, I'll try as much as I can!" Harry? Sloane pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"It's not as much as possible, it's that you have to get the copyright of "Wanted". Because I decided that for the next year, we at MGM Pictures would be in charge of filming the film Wanted. ”

Harry? Sloan was stunned, looking at Han Quanyou with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Han Quanyou made such a decision.

You know, at present, MGM Pictures has just started a little better, and it is far from being as good as before, which can invest in several films a year to start filming at the same time, and besides, MGM Pictures does not have enough funds to support the simultaneous shooting of several films.

So, in this case, MGM Studios' current plan is to make one movie a year. And Han Quanyou actually said that the movie "Wanted" is MGM Pictures' main plan for the next year, how can this not let Harry? Sloan was shocked.

In case the copyright is not obtained, if the movie is not good, in case the shooting is not liked by the public, doesn't it mean that in this year's time, MGM Pictures will be completely useless. How can this be, at present, MGM Pictures has finally made a little improvement, it should be the time to make persistent efforts, and the useless work of a year is too expensive.

"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I promise, this movie is absolutely good, as long as we shoot it, I don't dare to say how much the box office will reach, but at least, I can guarantee that this movie will definitely satisfy us all!"

Looking at Harry with a hesitant face? Sloan, Han Quanyou suddenly understood Harry? Sloan hesitated about something, and couldn't help but smile and promise.

"Alright then, I'll take care of this later!" Han Kwonwoo said so, Harry? Sloan had to say yes, too. Besides, in the eyes of Han Quanyou, especially in terms of movie scripts, he is still very authoritative.

"Okay, old Harry, that's it, let's talk about another thing. Last time I called you to talk to Stepheninmeyer (Stephanie?) Mel) about the film adaptation of the novel, how did you talk about it? ”

"Oh, this, no problem, it's done! Stepheninmeyer agreed! "Hear Han Kwon-woo's inquiry, Harry? Sloan replied with a smile and nodded.

"Really!" Han Quanyou was overjoyed and couldn't help but stand up excitedly. This is really good news, as long as you can talk to Stepheninmeyer about the royalties for the live-action adaptation of the novel, and think about the global box office results of the original "Twilight" film series, you know what this means, which means that there will be billions of dollars in revenue in the future, and this is still pure movie box office revenue, and if you add the incidental small goods, then the benefits will definitely be greater.

"Hehe, of course it's true, I don't have to lie to you. Actually, we were lucky, and when I found Stepheninmeyer, I happened to know from Stepheninmeyer that we weren't the only ones who had this plan. Summit Entertainment is also in talks with Stephen Inmeyer about changing the live-action film from the Twilight novel. Because Boss you once said that you had to get the copyright anyway, so I also paid a lot of money at that time to get Stepheninmeyer to agree that we at MGM Pictures would be responsible for the copyright of the live-action version of the novel. ”

Speaking of which, Harry? Sloan couldn't help but sneer: "Summit Entertainment wants to fight with our MGM Films, although our MGM Films are not as good as before, but they are not qualified for Summit Entertainment!" ”

Lucky! Han Quanyou couldn't help but thank God, fortunately he didn't forget this incident at that time, and let Harry be the first time? Sloan went to talk to Stepheninmeyer. Otherwise, I'm afraid that by now, "Twilight" has been taken down by the original Summit Entertainment.

"It doesn't matter, with old Harry, I believe that the conditions offered by Stepheninmeyer are not big, and you will not make a big price in order to fight with Summit Entertainment. As long as the adaptation rights of "Twilight" are in hand, this is fine, as for the price, it doesn't matter at all, the adaptation rights are the most important thing! ”

Seeing that Han Quanyou didn't ask what kind of price he was paying for Stepheninmeyer, he agreed that MGM Pictures would be responsible for the adaptation rights of the live-action film adaptation of the "Twilight" novel. Thinking of this, Harry? Sloan couldn't help but be shocked, from all this, it can be seen that Han Quanyou really trusts him very much, and being able to have such a boss who trusts him is undoubtedly the most favorite thing for anyone to meet.

"Actually, it doesn't cost much, Stepheninmeyer is a good talker, and Stepheninmeyer is not short of money. The work "Twilight" can really be said to be like Stepheninmeyer's child, and Stepheninmeyer also hopes that his work can be put on the screen so that people all over the world can watch and know. In this regard, it is clear that Stephen Inmeyer believes in MGM Pictures more than Summit Entertainment, after all, compared to the two, our MGM Pictures are much stronger than Summit Entertainment in terms of strength, heritage, and even experience. ”

Han Quanyou pondered for a while, and finally raised his head and said: "Stepheninmeyer is indeed a great writer, although Stepheninmeyer didn't ask for anything, but since Stepheninmeyer chose us MGM Studios, believe us, then naturally we can't disappoint Stepheninmeyer." Although Stepheninmeyer did not propose anything, we can give more in terms of the cost of adaptation rights, and it is not a question of more money and less money, but of attitude! ”

"Well, I know the boss, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter when the time comes, I believe Stepheninmeyer will definitely be very happy, after all, in this world, no one thinks they make more money!"

Harry? Sloane didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded in agreement. In all fairness, if Stephen Inmeyer had really sat on the ground and watched himself compete with Summit Entertainment, then even if he could win the rights to adapt "Twilight", the price would definitely not be the bottom.

After all, Harry? Sloan knew very well that Summit Entertainment was determined to win the rights to adapt "Twilight". But Stepheninmeyer didn't do that, which also made Harry? Sloan has a great crush on Stepheninmeyer, so in terms of interests, Harry? Sloan didn't mind giving Stepheninmeyer a little more.

Then, Han Quanyou and Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise and the two continued to discuss MGM Pictures' plans and directions for the next year, as well as many big and small things.

But as he spoke, Han Quanyou couldn't help but pat his forehead, in Harry? Sloan and Jason? In Cruise's doubts, Han Quanyou couldn't help but say, "Damn, I really almost forgot." By the way, Harry? Sloan, are you going to do the "Wanted" thing while you go to talk to James at the same time? Director Cameron met, just James? Director Cameron is currently preparing a film, and the two sides are discussing and preparing for a partnership with Dacheng. ”

"James? Cameron! "Harry? Sloane's heart skipped a beat for no reason, this uncle is a terrible master, especially when it comes to filming movies, he really dares to ask for production fees. Although MGM Pictures is currently bringing in huge income with "Transformers 1", this money has to pay off debts, pay salaries to the company's staff, and prepare working capital and production costs for the next movie, so it is really not much.

"Boss, with James? Cameron's cooperation, shouldn't we be more cautious! "Think about it for a moment, Harry? Sloan gritted his teeth and began to speak.

"Of course, I never doubted James? The strength and talent of director Cameron, after all, James? Director Cameron is currently our top director in Hollywood. But the boss, James? The production costs that Cameron's director needs when shooting a movie are really not low. If our MGM Pictures had to prepare for the production of the next movie in addition to the necessary expenses, plus pay off some debts, I'm afraid that our MGM Pictures really wouldn't have the money to afford James? Director Cameron's production expenses were requested! ”
