"SONY plans to release a total of three films this year, including two literary films, a Marvel movie "Ghost Rider" ......," Qi Bing reported to Wu Tian.

Although it was acquired by Wu Tian in advance, Marvel began its own journey of creating movies, but Marvel's system is too huge, and it is impossible to put some of them on the big screen with super influences just by relying on Marvel itself, so it is inevitable that some independent superheroes who have little to do with the Avengers system will be separated. In line with the principle of no waste of resources, it is authorized to other film and television companies for adaptation and use.

And "Ghost Rider" is a work authorized by Marvel, and the key reason why it was snatched away by SONY is that Sony gave a lot of money and won the first place in the auction.

This is also to blame everyone for coming to the United States to mix rice, and they have to abide by the business rules of the United States, otherwise, with Wu Tian's temperament, even if we don't make any money from it, we will definitely not sell it to the little devils.

"Literary films are not interesting, "Ghost Rider" is worth intervening in...... Wu Tian touched his chin and said, "How big is their investment?" How high is the expected box office? ”

Qi Bing said: "At present, their investment plan is 100 million, but according to our estimates, in order to make this film, they need to add at least another 10 million or 20 million." As for the box office, it is estimated that it is between two or three hundred million. ”

Wu Tian laughed and said, "Does this mean that they don't make money with this film, and it is even possible to lose money?" ”

"It can't be calculated in this way, "Ghost Rider" authorized them is the right to adapt the character. They can continue to make a sequel on the basis of this one. And the cost of filming the sequel will be greatly reduced, and the box office may even increase, until then. He'll be able to make money......"

Wu Tian nodded, Qi Bing's analysis is completely reasonable, the sequel is generally much cheaper than the first one, first of all, the props can be much cheaper, and secondly, most of the actors and crew will be very familiar, and the comprehension required by the director is higher when filming. Naturally, the production cycle will be saved to a large extent, and a large amount of capital investment will be saved.

"Hehe, want to make a sequel? That's impossible. Wu Tian said with a smile.

"Cage. How was the filming of "Ghost Rider"? Wu Tian asked with a smile.

As a former old partner, although Wu Tian did not push Cage to the Oscar throne, he also won him a nomination for Best Actor, which was not very popular at the beginning. The portions are also quite heavy. Not to mention during the shooting. A personal friendship that has slowly been cultivated.

Therefore, after receiving Wu Tian's invitation, Cage came to the door without hesitation.

"It's going well, now that the shooting is nearing completion, if nothing else, maybe it will be done in another two months." Cage said, guessing in his heart that Wu Tian called him to ask this question as soon as they met. Could it be that he has a heart piece to turn on again? And maybe you have a chance to work with him again?

A big Hollywood director who only makes big productions and has never produced a bad movie. It is definitely the object that all actors are most willing to pursue.

"Well, it's going to take two months......" Wu Tian said with a hesitant look.

"Wu, are you going to start a new film?" Cage couldn't help but say seductively.

"Well, I have this plan, but ......" Wu Tian said embarrassedly, "There may be conflicts on the schedule, and that's okay, in addition, I don't have a good relationship with Sony now, and you are starring in their films now, so I'm worried that there will be trouble during the filming in the future......"

"Isn't that going to be? My footage will be done in two more months......" Cage said.

"I'm worried that after we start filming, Sony will keep asking you to reshoot the shots, and you can't refuse according to the contract, right?" Wu Tian said.

"Oh, that's a shame, I've always been looking forward to working with you again." Cage said disappointedly.

"Me too, old friend." Wu Tian said, "Well, it would be nice if you could terminate the contract with Sony immediately......"

"Wu, you know that's impossible, I can't afford the liquidated damages." Cage said.

"Hmm...... What if I help you take care of it? Wu Tian said.

"What? That's a lot of money! Cage said.

"Cage, you know the last thing I care about is money, haha." Wu Tian said, "Well, what did you say about the contract you signed at the beginning? If you quit now, how much will you have to compensate them? ”

"No, no, friend," Cage said hurriedly, "the amount of compensation is huge, maybe you don't care, but I really like this character, I'm a fan of 'Ghost Rider', I grew up watching his comics, you see, I still have his tattoos, being able to play Ghost Rider was my dream when I was a child......"

"I know, old friend, I think your biggest dream should be to get a little golden man, isn't it?" Wu Tian smiled and said, "Although I can't guarantee that this film will definitely let you get the little golden man, but there is absolutely no problem with the nomination!" ”

"Uh...... Wu, can I know what kind of film you're going to make? Cage said excitedly-I'm afraid that no actor can refuse the temptation of Wu Tian's promise, little golden man. It is definitely the greatest achievement that film and television workers all over the world dream of.

"No, you know me, before you decide. I need to keep it a secret, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't want you to be swayed by the content of the film. Wu Tian smiled and said, "If you trust me, you should have already made a decision......

Shocking explosion news - Cage suddenly decided to break the contract and stop the filming of "Ghost Rider"!

According to a statement released by Cage, Cage accused the crew of "Ghost Rider" of treating employees too badly. So much so that he was under so much pressure during filming that he could no longer afford the rigors of the filming work, and the filmmakers completely ignored this fact. Therefore, he decided to stop working and asked the labor arbitration body to investigate the matter......

And the filmmaker Sony was even more furious and condemned Cage for his lack of professionalism, delaying and refusing to work during filming. Now unilaterally stop working. caused huge losses to the crew, and according to the original agreement, the film company will file a lawsuit against Cage for breach of contract, demanding that it compensate the film company for all losses......

For a while, Hollywood's gossip magazines were lively again, and various media reported the relevant news of the people.

However, it is clear that in this farce, both parties have reaped negative effects. Cage's tearing up of his contract will seriously affect his professional credibility - who will dare to hire an actor who picks at every turn in the future? And Sony will obviously also be blamed because of Cage's accusations. It's hard to have any big names willing to work with them in the future – who wants to find a boss who squeezes employees?

But for Cage, there is actually nothing to lose. First of all, Wu Tian promised that in the new film, he will be given a chance to hit the Oscars again, in addition, Wu Tian also dispatched Qi Bing, promising him that MGM will give priority to cooperating with him in the future, and will reserve a role for him in the Marvel movie series - as we all know, the Marvel movie series is rarely good to change actors, which is equivalent to giving Cage a long-term meal ticket!

With such lucrative conditions, it is inevitable that Cage will be tempted, and at the risk of damaging his professional reputation, he will publicly break with Sony.

Of course, the public break is also a skill, Cage returned to the crew and "acted" for a few days, and openly had some conflicts with the crew, and the rest was that the two sides were arguing, it was a big deal to fight a lawsuit, anyway, Wu Tian was responsible for everything, and he didn't care about being a lonely warrior image against a movie giant like Sony......

As for Wu Tian, he doesn't care about the lawsuit, Wu Tian is still afraid that the trouble will not be fierce enough, the more the trouble, the bigger the face that Sony will lose, as for the cost of the lawsuit? Does Wu Tian seem to be the kind of person who cares about money?

Besides, this matter may not necessarily lose money in the end - according to the original agreement between Sony and Marvel, Sony must release the first Ghost Rider movie within three years, otherwise Marvel has the right to withdraw the adaptation license! It's been two years now, and once Cage quits, Sony obviously doesn't have enough time to reshoot. Once the adaptation rights are withdrawn, if Marvel or MGM makes three Ghost Rider movies, will there be no money to be made?

"Ahhhhh......h

Listening to his son's babbling voice on the phone, Wu Tian was bubbling with joy.

Although he is not in the country, Wu Tian has maintained the habit of contacting several celebrities on the phone every day for many years, even if he is too busy, he will at least send a text message to say it, not to mention that now he has more weight for his children.

"Xiaotian, are you coming back for the New Year?" Chang Le asked on the phone.

Seeing that it is already the second half of the month, Wu Tian is still working overtime to make movies in the United States, and it is inevitable that he will be happy.

"Well, I will go back for the New Year, but I may not be able to stay in the capital for two days, mainly in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Wu Tian said.

"Oh......" Chang Le said a little disappointed.

"Hehe, girl, what do you want?" Wu Tian said with a smile, "Uncle Zhao is going to be transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang after the New Year, I have to go over and help him arrange it first." That's good, let's go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang together, bring our son over, and we can get together for a few more days. ”

The people of the United States are not more than the Spring Festival, and the production of movies will not stop, so Wu Tian cannot return to China for too long, and it is expected that he will only be able to go back for about a week. And the most important problem at the moment is that the Zhao family went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Wu Tian had to make arrangements for the front station first, as for the capital, although there were a lot of troublesome things, but Wu Tian couldn't take care of it.

Besides, the problem on Taiwan Island this time has aroused the dissatisfaction of some people, and Wu Tian ran to the capital to show off at this time, and maybe it will attract someone to suppress them -- although Wu Tian is not afraid of them, Wu Tian is afraid of trouble.

Therefore, the principle of Wu Tian's New Year's itinerary this time is to be low-key, as low-key as possible, stay in the capital for Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, and go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the second day of the new year.

"Okay, I'll talk to my mother, and we'll go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang together." Chang Le smiled, "Well, by the way, you said that we would go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang and live in Sister Qiu'er's house, she wouldn't mind, right?" ”

"Uh......" Wu Tian's head suddenly grew, Chang Le is testing himself, or is he testing himself......

"Giggles, I'll call Sister Qiu'er myself, that's it, hang up ......" Chang Le hung up the phone immediately, but Wu Tian couldn't help touching his forehead, and he didn't seem to have a cold sweat...... (To be continued.) )
