After some negotiations, Tang Dynasty Film Company and Lucas Film Company officially signed a cooperation agreement, which stipulates that the total investment of "Star Wars Prequel: Phantom Crisis" is 2ooo million US dollars. Equivalent to 170 million Hong Kong dollars, this fund will be completely spent by the Tang Dynasty Film Company, which does not include the publicity costs before the release of the film, and according to the regulations, the future publicity will have to be paid by the Tang Dynasty Film, the specific amount depends on the specific situation, so that all the risks are borne by the Tang Dynasty Film Company, if it loses, George? At most, Lucas's reputation has been damaged, and the others have not done any substantial damage, and if he earns it, then George? Lucas just has to sit back and wait for the money to be collected, and it's a surefire deal, even though the film is likely to lose money.

However, the investment is large, which means that the income is also large, and the two sides have argued for a long time over the distribution of copyrights, and the final result is that Tang Dynasty Film Company will obtain 84% of the copyright of the film in the next 5 years from the date of release, that is to say, 84% of the film's income within 5 years will be owned by Tang Dynasty Film Company, and Lucas Film Company will account for 16%, which is more than when Warner Bros. gave George? Lucas's 8.5% is almost doubled, and that's exactly what George? One of the main reasons why Lucas abandoned Warner Bros. in favor of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, Gu Chen's instructions to Zeng Zhiwei were to try his best to fight for the permanent copyright of the film, because the influence of the "Star Wars" series of movies is continuous and will bring continuous benefits to copyright owners in the future. A pity for George? Lucas's obsession with copyright is beyond Gu Chen's imagination, so he would rather reduce the share of copyright he owns in five years. In desperation, Gu Chen could only make concessions.

In addition to the detailed economic terms, the agreement also has clear provisions on the composition of the crew, according to the regulations, at least 4o% of the crew members will be Hong Kongers, of which the action director and assistant director is the famous Hong Kong action director Yuan Heping, this person is George? Lucas personally mentioned yì, but it was George? Lucas has seen "Blade" and "Tales of the Night" with Yuan Heping as the action director. I appreciate Yuan Heping's attainments in action coaching. It just so happened that Yuan Heping was also a candidate for a Tang Dynasty movie, so he agreed.

As for whether Yuan Heping is willing to take this film, Gu Chen and Zeng Zhiwei have not considered it, although Yuan Heping did not sign any contract with Tang Dynasty films, but after "Top Secret Mission", "Blade Warrior" and "Legend of the Night", he seems to have become the queen director and action director of action movies produced by Tang Dynasty films. Moreover, with the status of the "Star Wars" series of films in modern films, it is the dream of many people to be the assistant director and action director of this film. Yuan Heping did not have any reason to refuse.

In addition, in terms of actors, the two sides have discussed and have a result, the queen of Naboo in the film, Padme? Amidara, Jedi Obi-Wan? Kenobi, and killing the Jedi Krigand? Kim's Sith Knight Das? Moore will have the actors selected by the Tang Dynasty films.

The final selected actor must also be made up of George? Lucas and Yuan Heping can only be formalized if they work together. Of course, George? The actors selected by Lucas also have to be agreed by Yuan Heping. So it's mutual, and neither party has a full decision.

Originally George? Lucas didn't want to give up the final decision, but for the sake of the 16% copyright share, he still chose to compromise, but he believed that with his vision of selecting actors and Yuan Heping's professionalism, the cooperation between the two sides should be very harmonious......

When the news of Tang Dynasty Film's investment in "Star Wars Prequel: Phantom Crisis" came out, it immediately set off a huge wave in Hong Kong. You must know that the "Star Wars" series is not an ordinary movie, its description of various galaxies, civilizations, and creatures in the universe, the various strange aliens and spacecraft it creates, and the magnificent space scenes and Star Wars scenes it represents......

All of them are out of ordinary people's thoughts, and they are beyond the expression of ordinary science and technology. And its huge box office revenue around the world marks that the film is moving from the silent film era to the sound film era, and from the black and white film era to the color film era, and it is in an astonishing degree. It has been hailed as a 'milestone in the history of cinema' and 'one of the most important cultural events of the 2o century' because of its incredible and extraordinary achievements, and its powerful impact has reverberated throughout the world.

The fact that Tang Dynasty Films was able to invest in the first prequel to "Star Wars" and participate in the production of the film undoubtedly proves the strength of Hong Kong films, whether they like the movie or not. Those who don't usually watch movies are all proud of it. In particular, the three main actors in the film, including the No. 1 heroine, will be selected by Tang Dynasty films, which is even more exciting, if all three actors use Hong Kong actors. Then this film will be a real cooperation between Hong Kong and Hollywood, and it must have a strong Hong Kong flavor.

And these three actors will quickly become well-known to fans around the world with the release of the film, and even become international superstars in one fell swoop.

Such an opportunity, as long as it is a person who thinks he is qualified, he has asked about these three characters through various relationships, some of them have strong relationships, and the phone calls have been made to Zeng Zhiwei's mobile phone, or he came forward, or he asked someone to help, and even a few people came directly to Zeng Zhiwei's office, nominally to come and sit, in fact, it is obvious for what, but how can Zeng Zhiwei agree to this kind of thing, even if it is an old friend who has known him for many years, he just said that he would seriously consider it.

As for those who don't have much to do with it, he can only lament secretly in his heart, hoping that this big pie will miraculously fall on his head......

Looking at the report of "Star Wars Prequel: Phantom Crisis" in the newspaper, Chen Huilian said while cutting fried eggs: "Now everyone in the circle has wide eyes, just like a pervert sees a beautiful woman, but I don't know who will end up with such an opportunity." ”

Zhou Yan smiled faintly and said: "For such a big thing, in the end, it is usually Ah Chen who makes the decision, and no one knows who he wants, but in the past few days, there must have been many people who have found him or Zhiweina." I think it's all useless. Ah Chen is a very assertive person, in small things, he can be so-so and turn a blind eye to the faces of some people, but he is more serious than anyone else in major matters, if he decides that an actor is not suitable, it is useless for that actor to intercede with Zhiwei in person. ”

Chen Huilian obviously disagreed with Zhou Yan's words: "That's right, but there are so many actors in Hong Kong, Ah Chen can't be familiar with everyone, if you don't fight for it, how can you know that you are not suitable, you don't have to do anything with a mentality like you." ”

Zhou Yan raised his head and glanced at his wife, and said in a teasing tone: "I see that you have been holding back for several days, and today you finally can't help it?" ”

Chen Huilian said angrily: "Don't bite Lu Dongbin and don't know good people's hearts, although your popularity in Hong Kong is at its peak now, but your influence in the world, especially outside Asia, is still a little worse, Liang Chaowei and Donnie Yen's popularity in the United States is much higher than yours, if you can get a good role in "Star Wars" this time, you will definitely be able to open up your popularity in the United States." ”

Zhou Yan said lightly: "Other people Ah Chen may not be familiar with it, but I am not unfamiliar with him, if the role is suitable for me, he will naturally look for me." ”

Chen Huilian glanced at Zhou Yan and said, "This is not a question of familiarity or unfamiliarity, you may be the only one who is suitable, what about Ah Chen's choice of someone else?" Or maybe Ah Chen forgot about you for a while, if you are willing to take the initiative, maybe Ah Chen will condemn you without even thinking about it. ”

This time Zhou Yan was silent, saying that he was not moved by this opportunity, it was fake, and being able to enter Hollywood at least at this stage is still pursued by most actors in Hong Kong, and Chen Huilian said it is also very reasonable, there are so many people staring at these three roles this time, if he doesn't take the initiative, I'm afraid that no matter how good the personal relationship is, it will be useless, after a while, he said with a little hesitation: "What you said may be right, but it's not appropriate for me to open my mouth to Ah Chen myself, if Ah Chen already has a candidate, it will also make him very embarrassed." ”

Chen Huilian looked contemplative, as Zhou Yan said, it is really inappropriate for Zhou Yan to speak by himself, since he can't speak by himself, then he can only find someone to help, after thinking for a while, she slowly had an idea: "That's it, my relationship with Ah Qian is not bad, I will ask her out to go shopping in the afternoon, and then I will first let her test what Ah Chen means in my name, and it is naturally a good thing to agree, if there is already a candidate, or Ah Chen thinks that you are not suitable, it will not hurt your feelings." ”

The A Qian in her mouth naturally refers to Zeng Huaqian, she and Zeng Huaqian originally didn't know each other, that time she went to Fengyuan with Zhou Yan to congratulate the Gu family on the housewarming before she met Zeng Huaqian, and later under her intentional friendship, the relationship between the two is also good, when they are bored on weekdays, they go shopping together, drink coffee, chat or something, she believes that Zeng Huaqian should help with this little help.

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your method is good, then so be it, my husband will rely on you this time." ”

"Hmph." Chen Huilian shook off her coquettish eyes again and said, "I didn't care just now, but now I know that I am in a hurry, and I still have to listen to me when it is critical." I'll call Ah Qian after breakfast to see if she has time in the afternoon. ”
