Chapter 133: The Prototype of Chinese Hollywood (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
After filming, Wang Shang returned home that night, had a meal with his parents, and then began to browse the Internet and deal with some documents handed over by Secretary Bi Han in the mailbox.
Bi Han, the competent general manager, has already given advice on handling many affairs, and Wang Shang is only responsible for looking at it, and does not need to reply to approval, except for those big plans.
Soon Wang Shang saw a different email, forwarded by the secretary, from the other side of the Pacific.
"Marvel? Want to get the rights to the Transformers comics in North America? ”
Wang Shang stared at the four words of Marvel, and his mood boiled with each other.
"I haven't found it yet, so you sent it to the door."
Marvel's time and space, like the previous time and space, are giants in the North American comic industry, with more than 8,000 comic book characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Ant-Man, and superhero teams such as the Avengers, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
In 2009, Marvel sold the rights to all heroes to Disney for $4.24 billion, for unknown reasons.
Wang Shangke coveted this large piece of fat very much, but unfortunately he couldn't find a chance, and he didn't have any money in his hand.
Now that he took the initiative to come to the door, Wang Shang was naturally surprised.
The comic industry or something, Wang Shang doesn't care, Wang Shang only cares about movies. You can completely exchange the copyright of the Transformers comics and get the copyright of some heroes.
Spider-Man, Wolverine, X-Men or something. The other party may be reluctant, after all, the movie has been made and has proven its vast market.
Then you can try to get heroes who haven't made movies yet, such as Iron Man, who was only filmed in 2009, and Thor, who was only filmed in 2011, are all good series in Hollywood movies.
And if you get the copyright of Iron Man and Thor, you can also get a foot in "The Avengers".
As for whether Weman will agree...... I should agree, a few heroes are selected from 8,000 heroes, and the proportion is not large......
And Transformers is a very large system, much richer than the systems of Iron Man and Thor, and selling comics and toys will be better than those of these two heroes.
If not. It's not impossible to throw away the copyright of alien comics. Comics have never been Wang Shang's goal, everything is for the service of movies.
What's more, if the copyright of the "Transformers" comics and toys is sold to the other party in the form of a certain dividend, the other party can also help Wang Shang open the North American film market in advance. Why not?
Wang Shang had such thoughts. Wang Shang replied directly to the email. 'Warmly' invited Viman to come to the meeting.
The next day, Wang Shang and Bi Han got on a plane and went to Yanjing, as for those actors. Fame wasn't enough, so I didn't go. And Bi Han's purpose in going there was to talk about cooperation with people from other film companies.
In addition to Wang Shang and Bi Han, half of the staff of the marketing team went, and a few people also went to clothing and makeup, but they all went in advance.
As the protagonist of "The Grim Reaper", Xie Tingfeng took a leave of absence from the director and returned to Huaxia. However, he was not ready to go with Wang Shang, because his contracted company was Emperor, and after Emperor Company took back Hong Kong in China, the company suffered some decline, but still persevered.
……
The Huaxia Film Awards are held in the suburbs of Yanjing, where the 'Academy' is located, next to the Yanjing Film and Television Base.
There are more than a dozen small movie theaters in the screening street, as well as a place to hold award ceremonies, and in the surrounding area, there are many film companies with their headquarters here.
Everything is modeled after the Hollywood of Los Angeles, there are movie companies, movie theaters, film and television bases, apartment complexes, everything a movie needs to have, basically has it here.
It has a very good film and television atmosphere, and there are countless movie stars who like to live here.
This is a prototype of Chinese Hollywood, and it is also a project that the government began to strongly support in 2000. It was officially completed last year, and soon after it was completed, countless film and television companies and stars poured in.
And Wang Shang's plan is to wait until Tianwang Studio is upgraded to the company and move its headquarters here. I heard that the headquarters of Datang International is also preparing to start moving the main force here.
Do you want to become the Chinese version of Hollywood's Big Six film companies? Please come to Little Hollywood.
Wang Shang and Bi Han got off the plane, and there was a luxury Bentley xxx waiting there for a long time, which was arranged by Bi Han in Yanjing in advance, at this award ceremony, these things can not be bad, they must be compared.
When Wang Shang and the others arrived, in a nearby hotel, they asked the makeup artist who had prepared in advance to do some makeup.
After tidying up, it began to enter the nascent Chinese Hollywood.
This Huaxia Oscar can be said to be the grand event of the entire Chinese film and television, Wang Shang looked around, and everywhere he could see several reporters hurriedly following one star after another, busy interviewing.
And the well-known star Wang Shang has also seen a lot, and he feels that he will hit a few when he throws his head.
Wang Shang also saw several foreign media, especially in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and it is obvious that the influence of Chinese films has begun to gradually spread to the surrounding areas.
When Wang Shang and Bi Han got out of the car, they quickly attracted the attention of a female reporter, and then happily ran over to interview, while the eldest brother who was carrying the camera behind him was trying to keep up, panting heavily, sweating like rain, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
"Mr. Wang!! It's an honor and excitement to see you for the first time~~" The female reporter first took a bizarre sycophant, and then got to the point, "Mr. Wang, I don't know if you have any confidence in winning the award for "The Grim Reaper" this time?" ”
Wang Shang smiled and replied: "There are more and more excellent movies in our country now, and you can see it from the grand occasion of today's event, so I don't have enough confidence in whether "Death is Coming" can win awards. If you really win the award, thank you to the academy, and thank you to the actors and crew members who have contributed to this movie! ”
After Wang Shang said some official words, he began to go straight to the screening street with Bi Han. Along the way, he met many reporters who wanted to interview, but Wang Shang refused.
When Wang Shang and the others came to the screening street, they found that there were more people gathered here, at least thousands, celebrities, producers, directors, screenwriters, lighting, photography and other professions, and more film critics.
So many screening halls. These three days will take turns to show the films nominated for this year's Academy Awards. And "The Grim Reaper is Coming" is one of them, and "Infernal Affairs 2" will not be missing when it is made.
Wang Shang and Bi Han soon separated, each completing their own tasks.
Wang Shang soon found Hall 13 where "Death is Coming", and at this time, countless people had gathered in front of the screening hall to watch it. It's very hot.
Then Wang Shang found the screening room of "Infernal Affairs 2". On the 18th. is also as popular as "The Grim Reaper is Coming". Looking at other movies, they are all compared to these two movies in terms of popularity.
Wang Shang looked at this scene, and a little pride rose in his heart. Soon Wang Shang found a movie that few people went to watch it. I originally wanted to watch "Infernal Affairs 2". But there are too many people, and there are no seats.
At the evening reception, Wang Shang and Bi Han gathered and went together.
After Wang Shang entered, he took a glass of wine and looked around the entire reception hall.
At this time, a voice came from behind.
"Hi, Mr. Wang, hello!!"
Wang Shang looked back and saw that it was Liu Dehua. (The previous text was written as the surname Niu, but as soon as I said 'Niu Tianwang', I suddenly thundered to death, so I changed my surname to Liu)
Although Liu Tianwang's smiling face has a little wrinkles, he is still a heartthrob.
"Hi, Hello Liu Tianwang! Nice to meet you. Wang Shang hurriedly handed over the business card, in the previous time and space, Wang Shang admired this king who was known for his hard work, and even regarded him as an idol when Wang Shang was young.
Now seeing that in this time and space, still so beautiful, Wang Shang is still excited.
Liu Dehua obviously didn't expect Wang Shang to behave like this, put down the wine glass, took out his business card and handed it to Wang Shang. For Wang Shang, he was also a little curious and surprised in his heart. I just happened to see Wang Shang this time, so I couldn't help but come over to get to know him, and fortunately I would earn some opportunities for myself later.
The two chatted with each other for a while, feeling that each other's speech was comfortable, and then they talked about some movies.
"Heavenly King, your performance in "Infernal Affairs" is very good!!" Wang Shang finally squeezed into the crowd this afternoon, saw "Infernal Affairs", and admired Liu Dehua's performance very much.
"Mr. Wang is not bad, "Those Years" during last year's Spring Festival achieved very good results, and this year's "Death is Coming" has earned a lot of face for our Chinese films!!"
Speaking of these two movies, the two couldn't help but praise each other a few times.
In the end, Liu Dehua felt almost the same, and finally said his purpose: "I don't know if Mr. Wang can prepare a role for me in future movies?" ”
When Liu Dehua said this, he was very nervous. He wants to hit Hollywood now, but every time he fails, when he saw Wang Shang's "The Grim Reaper" and "Transformers", he thought carefully: "Can you take a ride on the sequel to "The Grim Reaper" and "Transformers"?" ”
However, some time ago, it was rumored in the Hong Kong entertainment industry that Zhou Xingchi wanted to take Wang Shang's ride but was rejected, which made Liu Dehua a little more worried.
But Liu Dehua was afraid of being taken first, and through this conversation, he felt that Wang Shang was very easy to talk to, so he made up his mind to ask.
"Death is coming, Transformers?" Wang Shang understood what Liu Dehua meant.
Wang Shang took a few steps back, looked up and down seriously for a minute, lowered his head and pondered.
Finally, he looked up and asked: "If you were a scientist and the chairman of a 100 billion group, how would you behave yourself in front of others?" ”。 (To be continued......)
