In the past, the cooperation with Warner Bros. was to sign a licensing agreement and then collect the money, but now that it is much more troublesome to engage in co-production, Zhang Qiuxi simply brought Shuguang Media in. In addition to money, they are not good at film and television production at all, and they do not have any resources, so they are still lacking after all.

"You mean you're going to invest in The Hunger Games with Warner Bros., why isn't there any news at all?" Li Changhua was very excited after hearing this, and if the cooperation could be successful, the benefits to their company would be self-evident.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "The Spark is still serialized, the outside world probably didn't expect to decide the film adaptation so soon, we and Warner Bros. have not announced any news to the outside world, and it is not strange that there is no news." ”

Now that the cooperation is still being discussed, it is too early to announce any news, Li Changhua nodded and said: "In the past few days, there have been many blockbusters labeled as Sino-US co-productions, but strictly speaking, it should be regarded as 'sticking', and it would be great if you could change this situation." ”

In recent years, the Celestial Empire has developed rapidly, not only the box office market of the Celestial Empire has increased dramatically every year, but it has also become more and more popular around the world, so many Hollywood movies, whether far-fetched or not, have all added elements of the Celestial Empire, in order to make money.

Think about the fact that a superhero movie in the original time and space actually has a special version, although it has been complained about a lot, but it also highlights this situation. And these movies are just using these gimmicks to make money, and even invite domestic actors to participate in the performance. It is also considered for such a purpose.

If Zhang Qiuxi had cooperated with Warner Bros., some of the previously criticized problems would not exist, because the novel was originally written by her. The core is the element of the Celestial Empire, and the relevant departments will be more willing to see this kind of co-production appear.

"Uncle, don't get too excited, in fact, it's up to Warner Bros. to decide how the movie is going to be made." Zhang Qiuxi had to be reminded, lest Li Changhua have too many expectations, in terms of filming and production, it is still the same as other co-productions. It's all up to Warner Bros. to decide.

Li Changhua frowned and said, "According to the usual style of Hollywood." If you decentralize it like this, your novel may be changed beyond recognition, and it will seem meaningless. ”

"Adaptation is definitely needed, but I also have my bottom line, at least the most basic settings will not be changed by them. On this point, uncle, you can refer to the Matrix. Absolutely rest assured. ”

Zhang Qiuxi copied it and changed it into a novel, many settings have been modified, and Warner Bros. still followed these settings for adaptation and filming, and even the protagonist specially invited a Chinese actor. For Hollywood, they can use any element, as long as they can make money, other things are not a problem.

Not to mention that it contains a certain element, it is not a problem to do it directly in any story, which is the best example. In addition to the Celestial Empire, the same is true of the third brother and Japan.

"That's fine. With your novel as a foundation, there's no problem with Warner Bros. taking the lead. Li Changhua nodded, and Zhang Qiuxi said: "Actually, I didn't think about it that much, and it was all proposed by Warner Bros. to make a co-production." Originally, according to our idea, it was just to invest some money. ”

She hadn't considered other factors before, and now Li Changhua didn't care much about it, so Li Changhua smiled: "Your insistence on the bottom line of adaptation has actually solved all these problems, and it is easy to understand that Warner Bros. wants to co-produce, and the most basic point is that co-productions do not account for the number of account-sharing films." They can also export one more movie. ”

"It is understandable to support the development of domestic films, but domestic filmmakers are too uncompetitive." Zhang Qiuxi shrugged. said: "Forget it, don't talk about it." Uncle, Xiaoyue, we don't understand these issues, and we have to trouble you to come forward and talk to Warner Bros. in the future. ”

If you just participate in investment, you don't have to be so troublesome, since you want to make a co-production, there are still a lot of things that need to be solved, Zhang Qiu regrets that they don't have resources and don't know how to do it, so they brought Shuguang Media in.

"Being able to distribute this film is also a loss for our company." Li Changhua smiled again, although he was involved, but Shuguang Media did not participate in the investment, he continued: "Since Warner Bros. is responsible for filming and production, we don't have to do much, except for providing a few actors to participate, it is also to dredge up some relationships." ”

"It's also a rare opportunity for our company to have actors show their faces in Hollywood blockbusters, and we have to talk about what the roles are."

Since it is a co-production, there must be actors from both sides, Zhang Qiuxi has already pushed away the role of the protagonist, so naturally he can only find other domestic actors to participate. They also don't know anyone in this regard, and Shuguang Media has a lot of signed actors, so it's perfect to bring them in.

According to the consistent account sharing ratio, theaters and production companies account for the majority, and distribution companies can also get about 17% of the profit, which is not a small amount. What's more, the company's actors can also be allowed to participate, and Li Changhua doesn't have to go back to discuss with other shareholders to be sure that no one will have objections to such cooperation.

Zhang Qiuxi thought about it and said: "I'll talk to Warner Bros. about the role, maybe it will be smoother." ”

If Dawning Media goes to talk to Warner Bros., it will be a real negotiation, and it may not be pleased. Judging from the usual urine, it is difficult to win some soy sauce characters, who receive the bento directly after saying a line or disappear without a trace.

Zhang Qiuxi's words will carry more weight, Warner Bros. has to sell face, and it will be much easier to win it. And she was originally the original author, so it makes sense to designate a role or something.

Although there are a lot of trivial matters, the news of the initial intention to reach cooperation has been spread, and when the topic is detonated, everything has been negotiated.

"The Hunger Games is co-produced with the United States, and Zhang Qiuxi personally designated the actor."

"Further, Zhang Qiuxi leads the Sino-US co-production, which may create a history."

When the news media is full of similar titles, the cast has basically been determined, counting the dozens of actors provided by Shuguang Media, after all, the background of the adapted movie is still set in Asia, so of course it takes a lot of people with black hair, black glasses and yellow skin to respond to the scene.

However, although there are many people, except for the most important supporting role of the male lead, there are not many other scenes. And Zhang Qiuxi only asked that this role needs to be played by actors from the Celestial Empire, and did not specify which actor, which is just a publicity stunt.

This actor is only ten * years old, and his handsome face can be called a little fresh meat, whether it is Zhang Qiuxi or Warner Bros., they are very satisfied, and the role is finalized.

"It's obvious that the most critical is the protagonist, why did you want a male number one?" It's been rumored outside, but Red Bean still doesn't quite understand it.

"I asked for it, but they didn't agree. You think Warner Bros. are so easy to talk to, but they also have their insistence. Zhang Qiuxi was already satisfied with this result.

Ye Qingqing interjected: "Please, you can cover all the roles as soon as you open your mouth, it's no wonder that Warner Bros. can agree." And because of your nonchalant attitude, they also decided that you didn't care about the protagonist at all, and of course they wouldn't give up. ”

In terms of the arrangement of the characters, Warner Bros. also insists that it is certain, and generally speaking, it is impossible to hand over the protagonist to others. And Zhang Qiuxi really doesn't care about the protagonist, if he grabs the protagonist, then the male number one and the male number two must be good actors.

Think about it, your woman played a love triangle with two foreign devils, and was successfully pushed down by one of them, what would be the feeling in your heart as a man? Anyway, Zhang Qiuxi will be very unhappy, so there is no need for the protagonist to rob it, let the Hollywood beauties play the leading role, and his own people play the male number one to guide the Hollywood beauties, so that it will be majestic and cool to bring in.

It's just that they probably won't understand such a reason, so Zhang Qiuxi didn't say it explicitly, but said: "Because I know that they won't give in at this point, I call it introduction as retreat, and now not everyone is happy." ”

"It's true that everyone is happy, and countless people are rejoicing, and I don't know what they are excited about."

"People are happy for us, don't be ignorant of good people." Zhang Qiuxi said so.

"Then they just raise money for us, we are responsible for half of the budget of 40 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 250 million soft sister coins." Hongdou habitually raised the bar with Zhang Qiuxi, and she was very happy that people paid so much attention and support to them, but she just wanted to choke Zhang Qiuxi a few words to be comfortable.

Shangguan Jin said: "Out of The Hunger Games, The Matrix 3 has also been established, and many reports say that next year is Xiaoqiu's first year in Hollywood." ”

"How many times have you said this in the first year, and there is nothing new at all." Zhang Qiuxi doesn't care at all, since she first swiped the screen in the news media, there have been several years defined as "Zhang Qiuxi's Year", who told her to be so active all the time, and she has never faded out of people's realization.

Spreading his hands, Zhang Qiuxi continued: "I don't plan to go to Hollywood to develop, what's the use of saying this?" Besides, The Hunger Games may not be released next year, and The Matrix 3 will have to wait a year or two or even three years, to say the least, which is not reliable at all. ”

Hollywood has a well-developed industrial assembly line, and the quality requirements for movies are also very high, just the publicity and distribution have a series of processes, unlike their grass stage teams, which are thrown into the cinema as soon as they are filmed. (To be continued)
