Chapter 754: Film Project

PS: xiexieEhime, lack of moon bow, and the tip of the small master!

For the sequel to "Twilight", fans of the book have long been looking forward to it.

However, his author, Lance, was really not a prolific person, and it took four years for the second "New Moon" to be published.

While cursing the damned author, fans took out money that had been prepared for years and pocketed the second "Twilight Zone".

The current "Twilight Zone" is no longer the first one that was unknown at the beginning, and now it is beginning to be praised as similar to "Harry. Potter" is the two major magical books of Shijie.

The book's fans are all over Shijie and of all ages.

Therefore, this time, Warner Bros. Publishing did not let Cui Zhengyuan do any more publicity activities at all, and the publishing house alone relied on its own ability to get all the preliminary preparations right.

According to such a situation, Cui Zhengyuan did not need to come to the United States so early.

He could have waited until September when "The Departed" was released, and then he would have come over for the premiere and proper publicity to get the job done.

But firstly, there are some arrangements for the trainees that he needs to be responsible for, and secondly, Carlos obviously has new ideas for "Twilight" and needs to communicate with him.

So, in early May, Cui Zhengyuan came to the United States with a huge crowd.

"Wow, this is where my predecessors used to study." Walking into the residence of A.P. in the United States, a girl's exclamation was the first to sound.

"Yes, it was here that the seniors were carefully trained and then embarked on the path of artists. I hope you can live up to the company's expectations, work hard, learn more advanced things, and follow the steps of your predecessors in the future to become top stars. Looking at the girl, Choi Jung-won encouraged.

This time, he was a trainee who followed him to the United States. They are Choi Min-ho, Jang Hyun-seung, Kim Myung-so, Liang Yao-sub, Kim Sung-gyu, IU, Bang Min-ah, and Jung so-jing.

Like the previous trainees, they will learn hip-hop dance from the "Purity Alliance".

As for Suzy, he has been in the company for too short a time, and he is still in the initial stage, so he cannot meet the requirements for further study.

Gathering the children in front of him, Choi Jung-won began to lecture. "In the future, you will have to study here for a short time, so there are still some things that need to be paid attention to. As everyone knows here, it's an open America. But I hope you can keep your heart, and don't learn from things that are not worth advocating. In addition, the opportunity is rare. I hope you will cherish it and put more effort into learning. If you are having fun, it is irresponsible for your life. ”

"Yes, Executive, we know." Several children stood in a row and answered in unison.

Before they came to the United States, they were envied enough by their peers.

Ever since the debut of WonderGirls and Dark.L, word has spread among the trainees of A.P.

Whether you can go to the United States for special training is an important indicator of whether you can debut in the future.

You don't see it. All the people in those two groups who have been to the United States have made their debuts.

Of course, not all debutants have undergone special training in the United States.

For example, Ni Kun, Park Youtian and Cho Kyu-hyun, these three people still debuted without such an experience.

But in general. After training in the United States, the chance of debut is greater.

Seeing that the children's spirits were good, Cui Zhengyuan let go of some worries. "Well, let's follow the teacher's arrangement. He will arrange a room for you. There are no classes for today and tomorrow, you can go shopping for some daily necessities. ”

After some orders, the children took their things and followed the teacher to another villa.

After two consecutive days of recuperation. They will have a new life in them.

Without waiting, Choi Jung-won and Carlos met in his villa that afternoon.

"Lance, you're really busy. I've invited you several times, and I'm finally seeing you. As soon as they met, Carlos complained.

If you talk about the most difficult star to invite on Shijie, Choi Jung-won said that it was the second, and no one dared to say the first.

After giving an old friend a warm hug, Choi explained: "As you know, I'm in charge of a large entertainment company, and I'm really busy. If it weren't for the importance of this incident, I guess you wouldn't have seen me. ”

"Are you going to have fewer opportunities to move around in the future?" Carlos keenly heard something and asked eagerly.

It's been more than a year and a half since the last album, but Choi Jung-won hasn't moved at all in terms of music.

It's the same in terms of movies, one "Pirates of the Caribbean", one "The Departed", and there are not many other works.

"Crazy Stone" can only be regarded as a cameo, and no one will consider it as Choi Jung-won's complete film work.

After considering all the relevant things, it is obvious that he is the most prepared to retire behind the scenes.

Choi Jung-won is Carlos' most important partner, and he has a bearing on the future of the editor-in-chief, so he has to think about it thoroughly.

"Rest assured, Carlos, our cooperation is not affected. And if you think about it this way, if I don't engage in acting activities anymore, there will be a lot more time. In that case, wouldn't "Twilight" progress faster? Cui Zhengyuan gave him a reassurance.

Cui Zhengyuan will focus more on the company's operation in the future, but it is impossible to completely retreat into the background.

After all, he also has a large team around him, and these people alone will not agree to his choice.

And even though he has few public activities every year, the economic value he can create is beyond the reach of other Korean artists.

In this respect, A.P would not have agreed to abandon his career.

In addition, he also needs to escort the artists in the company to come out.

Only in this field can you take care of the artists in more detail.

So from a practical point of view, he won't really quit either.

After listening to Cui Zhengyuan's explanation, Carlos couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "No, Lance, we have to think holistically. Although it may seem like how your acting career works with us is not very important, it is actually quite close. ”

Determined, Carlos continued: "You know. The reason why "Twilight" has been so popular is that in addition to the excellent quality of the book, your status as a star author has also played a lot of bonuses. If your popularity declines, it will also have a big impact on the sales of books. All aspects of entertainment marketing are interconnected, and they affect the whole body. What's more, the central connecting point of your activities in various fields is yourself. Don't ignore the relationship, so that all your business will not be implicated. ”

"Xiexie, I'll pay attention to your advice." Cui Zhengyuan sincerely thanked him.

At the same time, I also admire the perfect and standardized entertainment environment in Europe and the United States.

The editor-in-chief of a publishing house can draw inferences from others and consider everything that surrounds him closely.

If it's someone who really specializes in entertainment planning. I don't know how strong it will be.

In this respect, the gap between the entertainment industry in Asia and others is really not half a point. There's a lot to learn, including myself.

At the very least, from Carlos's words, Cui Zhengyuan saw an emerging discipline worth promoting, that is, entertainment coordination.

With the artist himself as the origin, the relationship between various fields of the entertainment industry is comprehensively considered and carefully arranged. Making effective connections will bring out the greatest potential value of an artist.

"Is it important that you called me over this time?" Thinking about the value of artists is a big proposition, and Cui Zhengyuan just kept it in mind.

This is the question he thinks about when he returns. Now, let's figure out the purpose of Carlos's desperate request for him to come.

Speaking of this, Carlos suddenly brightened. "Hehe, that's a good thing. "Twilight" was chosen by a Hollywood studio. They intend to make it into a film series. So this time I called you over to discuss the issue of film adaptation. ”

"Oh? That's a good thing. Don't know which company it is? Cui Zhengyuan also looked excited and asked with interest.

For the adaptation of the "Twilight" book series into a movie. He never doubted.

In the previous life, this series of movies created quite a brilliant box office and achieved a group of unknown stars.

It's impossible for any filmmaker with a bit of a brain to miss this classic, especially in Harry. Potter's dazzling results.

Two works that are not equal, one has been adapted into a movie and has been a great success. If Hollywood's movie giants miss "Twilight", it's a brain in the water.

"It's Summit Entertainment, I don't know if you've heard of it?" Carlos gave the answer.

As a film industry insider, Choi Jung-won certainly knows what Summit Entertainment is. "Of course, Lionsgate. It's just that I'm curious, isn't it your Warner Bros. company that Weishenme wants to make a movie? ”

It's not that Choi Jung-won looks down on Summit Entertainment and the Lionsgate film company behind it, in fact, in Hollywood, although this company is not as famous as Paramount, MGM, and DreamWorks, it is definitely not to be underestimated.

What made him strange was that his novel was produced by Warner Bros. Press, but Warner Bros. Pictures was not interested in this work, and he was just a little puzzled.

Although Warner Bros. Publishing and Warner Bros. Pictures are just two parallel branches, they belong to the same system after all, and it is definitely more convenient for them to contact each other than the outside world.

Speaking of this, Carlos shook his head with a wry smile. "You don't understand, Lance, there are people who don't want me to go any further and threaten the position of others."

Cui Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, but then suddenly realized.

To put it bluntly, it is still the workplace competition that is indispensable in ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

Don't think that there is no office politics in Europe and the United States.

In fact, as the origin of modern civilization, the intrigue in Europe and the United States is far more powerful than that of the Eastern countries.

As for who doesn't want Carlos to go further, it's actually very easy to guess.

Because of Harry. The Porter series of movies is the work of Warner Bros. Pictures, and as a magical work like "Twilight", its producer is naturally the most nervous Carlos.

But this is an internal matter of Warner, and he can't meddle in it.

Whether "Twilight" was given to Warners or Summit Entertainment to shoot, it didn't have much impact on him.

"No problem, you can contact the people of Dingfeng Company and Mr. Zhang Jiadu, the person in charge of our company's American branch, to negotiate. I hope that the cooperation will be reached as soon as possible, and I can also see my own work being put on the big screen. (To be continued......)
