Michael Bay holds the Transformers script......

Morning, noon, evening......

Time flies......

Michael Bay, who had completely forgotten the time at this time, and the things in the script, made him feel a kind of spiritual resonance. Although the script is not complete, and the latter half is missing, even the front part is already very attractive to him.

"Maybe I should take this ......"

"However, I can only be an assistant director......"

The pride given by Hollywood made it difficult for him to accept a position as an assistant director of a Chinese film.

Michael Bay felt conflicted.

Soon after, he asked out his good friend Brandt to get his advice.

"Transformers? What do you think of this script? Instead of giving direct advice, Brant asked Michael to ask his heart.

"It's a good script, and I'll admit I'm intrigued." Michael replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, let me ask again, is the reason why you don't want to be an assistant director because you feel ashamed?" Brandt gets straight to the heart of the problem.

"Yes!"

"You're too bad to be worse, and this is an opportunity, isn't it?" Brant pointed to Michael's chicken-nest hair and haggard face.

Michael stared at the glass in his hand, silent.

Indeed, as Brandt said, it can't be worse, this is an opportunity, do you still have a choice?

Brant continued to analyze: "Wang Shang is a person, I know, several amazing movies were born in his hands, look at the box office list of film history, you can know his ability, and he also has a habit, he will not shoot the second movie he has made, "Fast and Furious" is, and "Resident Apocalypse" is also. If "Transformers" becomes popular, he should not go to shoot a second part. Instead, it's handed over to someone else, and when the time comes, you can take over Transformers 2...... This is a great opportunity!! ”

"Taking over Transformers 2??" I have to say, Michael was moved.

"That's a nice idea!! You look at Robert Downey Jr., look at Brian ......" Brandt's voice was soft, but possessed a magical power.

Michael looked up at Brant, and his eyes, which had been confused, finally regained their luster at this moment: "If I hadn't known you for a long time, I would have thought you were a lobbyist invited by the other party." ”

"Hahaha~~" The two smiled at each other and drank the wine in their glasses.

――――――――

Three days later, Michael Bay sorted himself out and flew to the magic capital of China.

"Welcome Mr. Michael. Haha~~" Wang Shang met for the first time. Directly according to Western etiquette, Michael was given a closer hug. Michael couldn't help but be a little flattered, and the little estrangement in his heart was also put down.

"Presumably with Mr. Michael joining, it will definitely make "Transformers" more exciting!!" Wang Shang directly put a high hat on Michael.

Wang Shang knew the ability of this Michael Bay and felt that he could afford this high hat.

Michael Bay has two more well-known directing abilities. The first is explosive, the second is chasing, and these two abilities of his are among the top in the whole of Hollywood

As a child, Michael Bay loved to play with model trains, and one of his favorite games was to build a small volcano and destroy it to play a volcanic eruption. grew up to be a director, and he can finally make his childhood dream a reality on the screen, and let his thoughts be freely swayed in the movie. From "Jedi Men" to "Death Island" to "Pearl Harbor", each of his works is inseparable from the bombardment.

Overwhelming explosions, intense chase scenes, and fast and sharp editing all made Michael Bay's film heat up quickly. The box office was a big hit.

Outstanding ability, and coincided with a low point in life, for Wang Shang, it was really a godsend.

This time, Wang Shang once again played the role of a hero. Rescue this victim, just like Brian and Robert Downey Jr. at the beginning.

The assistant director confirmed one, Wang Shang still lacks a domestic assistant director, and the positions such as the scene recorder have been confirmed, and there are actors and others who need to be recruited.

In the past few days, "Transformers" has successfully obtained 110 million yuan in advertising revenue through advertising space competition, and there are more than 30 important advertising spaces because of the hot competition, and even more than a dozen famous domestic and foreign merchants have competed, so the merchants have not yet been finally confirmed.

Among them, the advertising space of the most popular Bumblebee car, some companies have reached a height of 80 million yuan for these few seconds, but they have been dragged down by Wang Shang, an insatiable guy.

"This price is not enough~~"

In the former time and space, the product placement of "Transformers 1" received a total of 40 million US dollars, equivalent to 360 million yuan, and this time and space also added the gimmick of 3D, and the time was delayed from 2005 to 2008, so the advertising revenue should be higher.

And before the time and space, I tasted the sweetness of the first movie, and "Transformers 2" added more than 30 King Kong models, making product placement more flooded than the first one. However, since the storyline is all about cars, the models that appear in the film do not cause the audience to be disgusted. Many viewers even admitted that they went to watch "Transformers 2" precisely to see their beloved models. Just as James Bond's allure would have been halved without Aston Martin, Omega and whisky without ice, the 007 franchise would have been tasteless.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Shang is so desperate to implant so many advertisements.

Of course, in order to enhance some confidence of these merchants, Wang Shang also deliberately made an exception to reveal some script details, so that the bidding of these merchants was more 'competitive' and 'gnashing of teeth'.

And the product placement advertising revenue of "Transformers" is 'leaked' to the society from time to time, making countless people exclaim that Wang Shang's earning power is so 'awesome'!!

"So quickly got 110 million yuan in advertising fees?"

"You can make a domestic-level blockbuster!"

Regarding Wang Shang's behavior of plucking geese (not geese plucking), people in the film and television industry can't help but envy, jealousy and hatred when they complain. Of course, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: "There are so many advertising placements, it must be a bad movie!" ”

There are also many people who fanned the wind and deliberately exaggerated and commented: "I heard that there are more than 200 advertising spaces, it is hard to imagine what will become of the two-hour movie after inserting these more than 200 advertisements, do you want the audience to spend so much money to watch a commercial film dressed in the garb of a movie?" ”

"Some people say it's going to be a great movie? Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway, this is definitely a super bad movie, even if it is 3D, even if it is an investment of 1 billion! ”

Regarding these rumors, Wang Shang naturally didn't pay attention to them.

Just when the competition for advertising space was in full swing, Longyun Automobile Group, a Chinese automobile manufacturer, was the first to stand up and urgently dispatched Chen Yi, the president of Huaxia region, to come to the door.

"We invested 150 million to package the advertising placement of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime!!" Chen Yi directly made an offer to Wang Shang.

"150 million?" Wang Shang couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, this Longyun Automobile Group can still spend money, but it is still a little short of his expectations, just bumblebee, Wang Shang thinks it is worth 130 million in his heart.

However, Wang Shang did not show any fluctuations in his expression on the surface, his smile was gentle, he gently picked up the cup, and said unhurriedly: "Although Longyun Automobile Group now says that there are a lot of sales in Europe's high, medium and low-end cars, I am afraid that it is still a little worse in the United States." Could it be that the U.S. market is worth 150 million at this price? ”

When meeting Chen Yi, the secretary handed Wang Shang the analysis report of the Ministry of Commerce on major advertising merchants, and Longyun Automobile Group, as the top automobile group in China, was aiming at the US market at this time. Although the European high-end, low-end and low-end car market has achieved good results in the past decade, the door to the American market has not been opened.

The movie "Transformers" can just impact Hollywood, whether it is its mass base in the United States or the development of the American film industry, it is destined to be a great opportunity for Longyun Automobile Group to open up the American automobile market.

Chen Yi looked at Wang Shang, who was calm and relaxed, and couldn't help but think of the explanation of the chairman of the group: "We have to try our best to win the role of that bumblebee, you can decide below 150 million, and other cars can also strive for a little more." ”

Thinking of this, President Chen Yi quoted again: "Okay, our Longyun Group invested 200 million yuan to win Bumblebee and Optimus Prime!" 10 million per second for other cars! ”

"200 million? Better!! Wang Shang couldn't help but feel excited......
