Chapter 1549: What a Loser
Facts have proved that when it comes to the ability to pit people, the rabbit next door is definitely countless times smarter than Cui Zhengyuan, a pseudo-"stick".
When Cui Zhengyuan set up a trap for Lijian Zhengya, he was tossing and turning, and he tried his best. I used all the means I could think of, just to hide my true purpose.
He is like a clever hunter, trying his best to make his trap seamless, for fear that the prey will smell the dangerous atmosphere and run away.
And compared to him, the rabbit next door just plays himself as an innocent, cute and harmless cute thing.
Then in a tranquil tone, he told the foot basin chicken: dear, here is the trap. Come on, jump in.
Then no matter how reluctant and unwilling the footpot chicken is, he can only obey the call of the rabbit with grief and indignation, and enter the trap with the determination to die.
Lenovo Group's conditions for Sony are like this, the danger is all in front of you, and it is clear at a glance that Zhengya can see it immediately.
But at this life-and-death juncture, knowing that it was poisonous wine, he could only close his eyes and forcibly drink it. The lesser of two evils is expedient, and there is no way to see Zhengya.
When Sony hemorrhaged and met the conditions of Lenovo Group (in fact, the Chinese government), they finally got the leaseback rights to the headquarters building that they were supposed to get.
It's just that after such a round of tossing, the 900 million US dollars obtained from the sale of the house at the beginning, in the end, there are less than 400 million left.
When Kazuo Hirai woke up from the hospital and learned that there was only so much money left at his disposal, he fainted again.
Seeing that Masaya was almost finished playing, he also hated Cui Jung-won to the extreme.
It wasn't until this moment that he really understood that Cui Zhengyuan was not a weak person who was struggling to survive under his power, but an opponent who could kill him.
In order to avoid danger, he began to decide to fight back.
Just when Choi Jung-won went to find Spielberg, he also met Choi Si-won, who was performing in Japan.
As for what the two conspired to, Cui Zhengyuan did not know.
Anyway, he is now being made by Spielberg to make a big scene, and he is so scared that he can't possess his body and wants to die.
"This ...... Is this really just built? He pointed to the endless building in front of him. Cui Zhengyuan felt that his thoughts were a little insufficient.
"League of Legends" is a fictional game, which involves a series of structures such as politics, humanities, war, magic, and systems.
So to turn it into a pleasing movie, it has to be like "The Lord of the Rings" and "World of Warcraft", and the director and crew need to build a complete system from scratch.
This is not an easy task, at least to achieve the desired goal, it is impossible to do without a huge amount of investment.
In order to achieve this, C.J Group, DreamWorks and Huayi have made a number of additional investments.
According to financial statistics, the cost of League of Legends has soared to $130 million so far.
That's it, or the situation before the movie started.
After the estimation of professionals. If the post-production is fully completed, the cost of the film will probably hit a record-breaking $400 million.
In other words, if the global box office does not exceed $1.3 billion, it will be tantamount to buying and selling at a loss.
Fortunately, the investor of this film is the most powerful film company in China, the United States and South Korea, and it has already booked the hottest box office market in the world when it was produced.
At the very least, with DreamWorks and Huayi, the cinema chains in the United States and China are completely open.
These are currently the two largest and hottest box offices in the world, as long as there is no problem with the quality of the film and the publicity is in place, maybe the cost can be recovered from these two places.
Add to that the C.J Group's presence in Asia. It should be possible to achieve a good harvest.
But no matter what, looking at the large building complex in front of him, Cui Zhengyuan was still speechless.
League of Legends, like World of Warcraft, is a fictional world with a complete and systematic system.
So to be perfectly presented in the movie. Then it must be filmed in several parts like "The Lord of the Rings".
And because it involves many countries and forces, and there are various regional customs and cultural traditions, this requires careful design by the crew.
In front of Choi Jung-won's eyes. It is a set that covers an area of about 10 kilometers.
In this vast studio, it is divided into different spaces by independent warehouses.
Every time you walk into a warehouse, you will find that it is full of models of the city that have been built. Follow the signs at the entrance of each warehouse. It is divided into Demacia, Noxus, War College, Pittwolf, Zaun, Bandel City, Ionia, Bilgewater, and many other countries and regions that have appeared in the game's story.
Because none of these cities could find corresponding buildings in reality, Spielberg had to work with the special effects production team to build them one city-state at a time.
Although these built city-states are only much smaller models, a city-state model can occupy a warehouse, so you can imagine how much work this is.
And according to Spielberg, they built things that don't fit in the real world. As for some places that belong to the natural environment, such as Shadow Island, Shurima Desert, and Giant God Peak, he has already sent a lot of staff to search for them all over the world.
Cui Zhengyuan specially visited the models of Demacia and Noxus, two more important cities, and had to admire the whimsical ideas of these European and American filmmakers.
Under their design, the city-state of Demacia was more architecturally like a replica of the castle complexes of ancient Western Europe because it represented human power.
However, Spielberg also introduced that because of the aesthetic views of oriental audiences, they also incorporated a lot of oriental elements into some details when building Demacia.
For example, the bridges in the city-state are mainly curved arch bridges in ancient China. And the river is not the kind of undulating, magnificent and magnificent river, but like the winding scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
Compared with the grandeur and majesty of Demacia, Noxus has a touch of mystery and illusion.
The tone of the whole city is dominated by black, which looks even more cold. In addition, with the work of the blower on the side, the whole city is always looming in the thick of smoke.
This is also more in line with the setting of the Noxian militarist state.
But if you want to say that the most popular of these buildings for girls, it is Bandel City.
It seems that Spielberg has studied "League of Legends" a lot, and he is about to make the cute and fast scout, Timo, the mascot of the movie.
In addition to these, Spielberg also took Choi Jung-won to see the various costumes and weapons that will appear in the movie.
And these objects are all the work of the finest craftsmen.
For example, the golden armor of the protagonist played by Cui Zhengyuan, the prince of Demacia, in order to achieve the best effect, Spielberg was stunned to plating a layer of gold on the surface of the armor.
Coupled with the delicate patterns and various combinations on the armor, it cost 300,000 US dollars.
And that's not even counting the spear for which the prince of Demacia became famous, which is said to cost $30,000.
Fortunately, Spielberg planned to make the film a series and shoot it in several parts.
In this way, when the first part is released, the box office can be invested in the later filming.
Otherwise, the cost will have to drive the producers crazy.
Rao is like this, and Cui Zhengyuan also has some drums in his heart for this masterpiece that he is about to play the leading role.
In the past, the movies he starred in had ready-made references, and he just needed to improve them slightly. Not only is it perfect, but it's also more popular because it's more perfect than the original.
But "League of Legends" is not good, at least in the years he has traveled over, this game is still far from being adapted into a movie.
All of them are brand new, and they all need him to grope for acting.
Fortunately, the director is Spielberg, a world-class director who is extremely good at large-scale production. In addition, the producers are strong enterprises such as C.J Group, DreamWorks and Huayi.
Otherwise, it doesn't seem impossible to die halfway through the shoot.
Rao is like this, standing on a nearby mountain, overlooking the continuous filming base at his feet, Cui Zhengyuan still admires European and American filmmakers.
Compared to their counterparts in other regions, what they make is not an industrial commodity, but an art.
In order to achieve the best results, they are never stingy with investment and enthusiasm, and they will also try their best to use their imagination.
With such enthusiasm, how can you not make good works that will amaze the world?
Thinking that he is about to become the star of such a masterpiece, Cui Zhengyuan's heart is full of surging pride.
However, as soon as the cold wind on the west coast of the United States blew him, he woke up in an instant.
turned around and hugged Spielberg, and prayed with tears streaming down his face: "Uncle, dear uncle, you can spend your budget leisurely." You can't let me go bankrupt before the movie is finished! ”
Spielberg had expected him to say this, and the old god comforted him: "Don't worry, Lance, I know it in my heart." But don't be idle, this movie is going to be auditioned for roles around the world soon, help me check it. ”
"Auditions?" Hearing that the actors were going to be selected, Cui Zhengyuan was also a little moved.
Because there are so many characters involved in the play, there is also a great demand for actors. And for image reasons, Hollywood's existing resources alone may not be enough.
Therefore, Spielberg had long thought about the need to find a suitable actor for a global audition.
Choi Jung-won is one of the producers, and his eye for people is very magical, so Spielberg had an idea and found him a job. (To be continued......)
