"Don't be like this, Mark, Fox has no eyes and has nothing to do with Avatar."

James is known as a tyrant, but he also makes a little joke about these big people who are equal to him.

Mark rolled his eyes, "The problem is, Fox is hesitant now, if he wants to continue to shoot a sequel, then this distribution method will definitely not be approved by the board." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, we have a clause in our agreement that DD Pictures has the freedom to shoot a sequel?" Daniel raised an eyebrow, of course Daniel agreed to shoot such a low-budget comedy, and asked for the sequel to be filmed, and Fox thought he was just going cautious. But now that it looks like DD Pictures and Fox both have joint venture and sole proprietorship rights. But the important point is that Daniel belongs to DD Pictures, so DD Pictures has the full conditions for sequel shooting.

Fox's headache is this, for them, there is one less option.

If they plan to shoot it alone, then it is bound that Daniel will not appear in the sequel.

Even if they're working together on James' Avatar, it won't change Daniel's mind — if Fox is going to leave DD behind, then Daniel won't hesitate to turn down a sequel. And, DD Pictures will not hesitate to shoot its own sequel - with Daniel's real sequel.

There is no doubt at all about whose account fans will buy - the actor is an important symbol of the sequel.

Mark rubbed his forehead, "It's a real headache, I knew that it wasn't easy for you to fall in love with Museum Ball Night." ”

"Oh no, it was a simple decision to get closer to you and get involved in Avatar."

Daniel gave an honest answer.

From the expressions of Mark and James, you can see how honest he is.

“…… All right. You got your wish, and you picked up a movie with a global box office of 600 million for nothing? Mark contrivedly rubbed his left chest, where his heart was, and he wanted to say that his heart hurt.

James stretched out his hands helplessly.

"Daniel has always been like this, and Disney and you may have a common language."

This is obviously a reference to Pirates of the Caribbean 2, where DD Pictures has invested 33% of its investment in the Pirates franchise. I don't know how many people feel envious and jealous. The box office of "Pirates 2" has undoubtedly told everyone how much market and potential this commercial series has - so far, the two "Pirates of the Caribbean" have brought nearly 8 billion in various operating revenues to Disney and DD Pictures, and with the arrival of the revenue window of "Pirate 2", this number rises to 10 billion.

The cumulative box office of the two films is 2 billion, and according to the ratio of 20%-30%, the total revenue is indeed close to 10 billion, of course. The vast majority is Disney's, and DD Pictures has only a small part of it, but in Pirates 2 and subsequent series, DD Pictures' proportion will rise, and this number will be very significant.

Mark was about to say something, but James rudely interrupted, "Alright, that's it." Daniel is not here to talk to you about business today. ”

James brought Daniel to the studio.

"Today you're going to have to ask them to make a computer model for you."

Quite a few staff, already ready things. The clothes were plastered with various electronic devices, and Daniel looked at them with interest.

"Daniel, wave."

Daniel, who was dressed in a green tight-fitting special effects suit, listened to the engineer's command, moved his hands and feet. Then jump, turn, crouch, and lean forward...... And so on, did quite a few movements, and it lasted for almost three hours. There were some breaks in between, plus some discussion and explanation, before Daniel took off the uncomfortable garment.

"It's magical, but it's not flattering at all." Daniel leaned over to the computer, "Are Zoe and Sigoarney ready?" ”

"Yes, do you want to see it?"

"Uh-huh."

The special effects engineer quickly called up the images of the two female leads.

"Wow, lifelike."

Seeing the computer, Zoe and Sigoarney, there waving their hands and feet, smooth and natural, "Technology is such a wonderful thing. ”

sighed, and Daniel found that whether it was Mark, James, or the engineer next to him, they were all looking at him with quite playful eyes, which made him a little baffled, "What happened?" ”

"BOSS, I'm an employee of Weta."

"Weta Digital? Oh, my-God! Daniel shrugged his shoulders, "Well, my company with Richard and Peter is really good. ”

……

Leaving the studio, Mark is chased away by a unbearable James, James, Daniel, and Jon. Landau, the three producers, gathered in the conference room.

"Now the animals, the Na'vi have been made, but there are still some terrains, such as mountains, vegetation, and so on." James opened a concept film with some not-so-elaborate floating peaks, "something like this." ”

Daniel is all too familiar with this.

There has been a lot of debate about where China came from for this scene.

That's right, it's Hallelujah Hill.

"Why don't you look for it in other countries?" Daniel suggested, a little mischievously, "I promise, at least in China, we can get a lot of material, there are a lot of these delicate things, just make them levitating." ”

"Really?"

Daniel nodded, "In this case, I'll ask the staff of DD China to find some photos and video materials for you to see, and you can judge whether it is suitable or not." If appropriate, we'll send some more. ”

"Good idea."

Jon. Landau also nodded, "There are indeed many strange peaks in China, and there must be some that can inspire James's thoughts." ”

"Speaking of which, Daniel should be quite familiar with China?"

The establishment of DD China was delayed for two months, after the Oscars, before it was officially announced. DD Pictures has created a joint venture with a state-run Chinese film company, which is also big news in Hollywood.

Jon. Neither Landau nor James could have been unaware.

"Chinese joint ventures can only produce films, and according to their laws, distribution needs to be handed over to another shareholder, China Film Corporation. That's a Chinese trust, so it's a good deal for now. ”

"Are you sure you want to make a Chinese film there? Truth be told, that land is full of mystery. It's too old to be well understood. ”

"But something is always in common, not to mention, DD also has local partners." (To be continued.) )
