The acquisition of Marvel Comics, under the strong leadership of Shao Shuaijun, was unanimously approved by high-level personnel. Mitchell, as the general manager of Summit Entertainment, immediately began to arrange negotiations with Marvel Comics, because Walt Disney is also looking to acquire, so it will be a very difficult negotiation, and it is unknown whether Summit Entertainment can acquire Marvel Comics.

After the plan was approved, Shao Shuaijun was also full of energy, in order to get these superheroes, he needed more capital to make Summit Entertainment stronger. Therefore, he put the crew of "Heartbeat" on hold for the time being, handed it over to the assistant director to rehearse, and searched his stomach to find the movies in his memory that were booming at the box office.

Even the kind of movies that don't make much money, but still make money, are ready to be plagiarized. used to disdain plagiarism of generalized movies, because Shao Shuaijun felt that he was also a great director no matter what he said, and there was no need to turn everything out, so he had to leave a mouthful of food for others to eat.

Now for the sake of superheroes, Shao Shuaijun is out of the way.

Not to mention, I really thought of a lot of good movies for him, although some of the plot memories are blurred, the general framework is still recalled. Mitchell was busy arranging the negotiations, and Shao Shuaijun took the general manager of Summit Entertainment's TV drama production company, Misotos. Blair, and the film's editor-in-chief, Gray. Brown, the chief writer of the screenwriting department, Layton. Voss came over.

"Misotos, I came to you because after "The Big Bang Theory", several TV series produced by the company are not popular, and they can only be said to be so-so." Shao Shuaijun was behind his desk, holding a comic.

Misotos blushed: "I'm sorry Shao." It's my job that isn't done well. ”

Shao Shuaijun put down the comics and waved his hand: "The company has no experience in TV drama production, and it is good to be able to maintain that every season of "The Big Bang Theory" is popular enough." Misotos, you are the old man of Summit Entertainment, you have always been loyal to the company, I am very satisfied, the responsibility lies in the lack of creativity of the team, you should find more talented TV producers in the future. ”

"Please rest assured that I will work hard to cultivate more talents. Even if we can't cultivate it. Just dig into other people's corners. Misothos swore that although Shao Shuaijun did not criticize him, he had to show that he was forging ahead, otherwise who knows if Shao Shuaijun would change his mind in the next moment.

"Digging corners of the wall. Privately. Don't be bruised. We are a company that values reputation. Shao Shuaijun smiled and pushed the comic book just now, "Look at this comic." ”

Misothos picked it up and looked at it. Say it out: "The-Wolking-Dead? ”

The-Wolking-Dead, a non-best-selling comic, was serialized in 2003 and is a clichéd zombie theme, the kind of story that is infected by a virus and turns into the living dead after death. Since the release of the 1968 movie "Night of the Living Dead", zombie movies have become a popular genre on the big screen, and dozens of zombie movies are shot in Hollywood every year.

After all, this kind of movie does not need special effects, but it can create a good effect of horror movies and science fiction films, and is deeply loved by a large number of audiences. Among the zombie movies, the most outstanding is the "Resident Evil" series, and others like "Dawn of the Living Dead", "28 Days of Shock", and "I Am Legend" are all classic zombie movies.

As a comic about zombies, "The-Wolking-Dead" has no superpowers, no heroes, no cool and handsome, and tells the story of a group of ordinary people struggling in the zombie-infested apocalypse. Sales can only be said to be average.

But Shao Shuaijun knew that this comic was adapted into a TV series and named "The Walking Dead". As soon as it was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation, and in the first three seasons watched by Shao Shuaijun, "The Walking Dead" created a number of miracles in ratings, was a great success, and won numerous awards.

As the first zombie film to be put on a TV series, the style of "The Walking Dead" is undoubtedly dark, a group of people in the apocalypse not only have to beware of zombies that will eat people at any time, but also beware of killing among survivors, lack of supply, lack of shelter, lack of system, and lack of humanity.

But this group of people, in the existence of the last days, profoundly analyzed the good and evil of human nature, which made the TV series attract the recognition and followers of countless people. This is a TV series that can be filmed for many seasons, and it can be filmed like "The Big Bang Theory".

With this TV series, it will definitely have a huge boost to Summit Entertainment, both commercially and famously. To be among the six major Hollywood film companies, it is not enough to have a few money-making movies, but to get involved in the entertainment industry in an all-round way and enhance the company's reputation as a whole.

Basically, "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Walking Dead" are all the American dramas that Shao Shuaijun is familiar with and can be used to shoot, and his help to the TV series production company ends here.

The people of Summit Entertainment blindly worship Shao Shuaijun's vision, and Misothos happily left with the "The-Wolking-Dead" comics, as if he had seen "The Walking Dead" create ratings miracles one after another, and the copyright was sold out.

Subsequently, Gray. Brown and Layton. Voss walked in.

"You two, I'm here to have a few ideas for a movie." Shao Shuaijun motioned for the two to sit down, then took out a piece of paper full of words and handed it to the two, "I have had a sudden inspiration recently, and I have a lot of ideas, and this is the first idea." ”

The title on this piece of paper is "Teddy Bear" written in large letters.

"It's a story about growing up......"

More than twenty years ago, John, an innocent and kind boy, made a wish because he was afraid of being lonely without friends, hoping that his precious teddy bear could come back to life and become his true friend. What John didn't expect was that some mysterious force would make his wish come true. John lived with Teddy Bear and had a happy childhood...... Until, more than twenty years later, John became a young man with nothing to do, and joy finally turned into trouble.

John, who was past his first year, was still single. Smoke, drink, and smoke marijuana with teddy bears every day, and live a life of drunkenness and dreams. It wasn't until John met Laurie, the girl he fell in love with at first sight, that he was determined to change himself. However, at this time, the conflict between partners and lovers gradually emerged, and the two different lifestyles made it difficult for John to choose. In the end, after many twists and turns, John finally found a delicate balance between woman and friendship.

Shao Shuaijun casually introduced: "I have listed a rough list of the plot on paper, you asked the screenwriting department to rush to work, I hope to complete the script as soon as possible, and then take it to Hollywood for registration." Once the time is right. We'll shoot. ”

Hollywood is a well-established film center, and everyone has to check what scripts are registered and whether there are similar scripts before making movies in Hollywood. If any. Similar ideas can't be filmed. Because copyright is established with the registration of the script. After filming, it is infringement.

Even the reborn. It's not something that can be made casually, and many films may have registered their scripts ten years ago. If you want to shoot, you have to find the registrant of the script to buy the version. If you make the movie out in a daze, then wait for the lawsuit.

"Teddy Bear" is a script written two years later, Shao Shuaijun will register it now, even if the original author writes it two years later, it will be in vain. If Shao Shuaijun remembers correctly, this R-rated comedy movie, the global box office in the future, seems to be more than 500 million US dollars, which is very high-grossing.

After solving the gold mine of "Teddy Bear", Shao Shuaijun then took out another piece of paper, which was also full of words, with the big title "Warm Corpse"

"It's a love story between humans and zombies......"

The story tells the story of a zombie named "R" who eats the brain of the heroine's boyfriend, suddenly remembers all the memories of this person, and then gradually falls in love with the heroine. It is this kind of love that makes R, who is a zombie, gradually regain his heartbeat and begin to change from a zombie to a human again. All the zombies who feel love are gradually changing to human beings, and the entire apocalyptic world has been reborn after this change.

R and the heroine also lived happily together.

"In the same way, your screenwriting department writes it into a script and then registers and seals it."

"Warm Corpse" is not too blockbuster, it seems that there is only a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in the world, but the gimmick is good, it is known as the zombie version of "Twilight", it is a good movie, it can still make a fortune, and it is worth shooting. Gray and Layton held two pieces of paper and smiled brightly, basically as long as Shao Shuaijun's creativity was a guarantee to make money.

thought that these two scripts were planned, but who knew that Shao Shuaijun took out another piece of paper, and there were only four words on this paper "Planet of the Apes".

"You should have heard of this movie, I need its full copyright, that is, to make this movie, this series belong to Summit Entertainment anyway, including prequels, sequels, sequels, peripherals, etc., all the copyrights." Shao Shuaijun said with a smile.

"Planet of the Apes" is one of the earliest films, based on Pierre. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Buhler, this is a series of films, the first "Planet of the Apes" was filmed in 1968, the second "Lost Planet of the Apes" was filmed in 1970, the third "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" was filmed in 1971, the fourth "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" was filmed in 1972, and the fifth "Battle of the Planet of the Apes" was filmed in 1973.

This series was very popular at the time, but due to technical limitations, it can no longer keep up with the current era. So the copyright owner, Twentieth Century Fox, restarted filming the fifth "Battle of the Planet of the Apes", that is, the 2001 version, but unfortunately, this production with a lot of investment has not even recovered its cost.

The series is almost stranded.

Without Shao's intervention, Twentieth Century Fox would have been influenced by Avatar's expression capture technology, which was used to realistically depict the image of an orangutan, and the project would have been restarted two years later. Shao Shuaijun now hopes to buy these copyrights, which seem to be useless, before the release of "Avatar".

Because he knew that with the use of expression capture technology, another future series of stories, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", would earn $500 million at the global box office, and the entire series could be readapted to set off a box office storm again.

"Shao Dong wants to remake "Planet of the Apes"? Didn't Twentieth Century Fox fail once? Gray looked at the words on the paper in confusion.

Shao Shuaijun shook his head with a smile: "Their failure does not mean that we will fail, and it should not be difficult to win all the copyrights of the "Planet of the Apes" series of movies as soon as possible, right?" ”

"It's not difficult, after all, it's just an outdated movie series, and it doesn't cost much. If Mr. Shao needs it, we will contact Twentieth Century Fox and buy the copyright. ”

Without saying anything about the plan of "Planet of the Apes", Shao Shuaijun closed the drawer, and then said: "The above are the three ideas I have thought of so far, act quickly, the sooner the better...... By the way, you know Sylvester. Stallone, arrange it for me, I want to treat him to coffee. ”

"Of course, we'll do that. As for Stallone, if you can have coffee with Shao Dong, you must be willing. ”

After the two left, Shao Shuaijun also left the office and drove to a tea house in Santa Monica. Since Dream Chasing Entertainment Group took root in Santa Monica, it has gathered a large number of Chinese, including engineers from special effects companies, film talents from Dream Chasing Jiahe and Summit Entertainment, and so on.

Naturally, in places where Chinese people are, there will be Chinese restaurants, Chinese tea houses and the like. This teahouse was opened by the wife of an engineer at Summit Special Effects.

After Shao Shuaijun came in, he saw Qian Ning drinking tea silently in the corner. Tatum, and his agent. Qian Ning is now a representative of Hollywood's post-80s rising stars, because he became famous in the movie "Dance Out of My Life", and he has a very good relationship with Summit Entertainment.

"Hi, Channing." Shao Shuaijun said hello and sat down.

"Director Shao."

Ordering a cup of tea, Shao Shuaijun began to get down to business: "Qian Ning, I came today to have an idea, I heard you say that you have been a stripper before?" I came up with a good story, and I wanted to use your experience to create a film. ”

"In my experience?"

"Yes." Shao Shuaijun nodded.

Since he remembered "Teddy Bear", it was natural for him to think of an adaptation from Channing. Tatum's past movie "Magic Mike" is a movie on the same schedule as "Teddy Bear" and is also an R-rated comedy. Between the schedules, the two movies were very happy and full of topics, so Shao Shuaijun remembered these two movies.

However, compared with "Teddy Bear", "Magic Mike" has a worse box office, but it also has $160 million worldwide, and it is a good hit. For the future of Summit Entertainment, Shao Shuaijun is now a vegetarian, as long as he can make money and still remembers the plot, he will bring it all.

and Channing. Tatum chatted, and this "Magic Mike" was decided, and it will be handed over to the screenwriting team to write the script first, and then take it out for filming when the time is right.

Stretching, Shao Shuaijun looked out the window.

The streets of Santa Monica are lazily strolled by pedestrians.

No one knows how many gold mines Shao Shuaijun has unearthed in this short period of time today...... (To be continued......)
