Chapter 940: I can't talk about it
Time went back to a day ago, Sun Peng received a call from his second sister.
"Galloping Horse Pictures? How are they? ”
Sun Peng couldn't help frowning, feeling a little strange.
The strange thing is, of course, not the cooperation between Takagi Pictures and Galloping Horse Pictures, after all, it is a medium-sized film company, and it is normal to find a partner with an investment of more than 100 million. And if Gao Runqing is more ambitious, he will definitely want to promote "Terminator" overseas, in that case, if he does not find a top Huaxia film company to cooperate, it is basically wishful thinking - with the strength of Takagi Pictures, it is impossible to distribute abroad.
It's just that Sun Peng is strange, why is it Galloping Horse Pictures?
He had a collaboration with Galloping Horse Pictures a few years ago, and the film they collaborated on was "Mission Impossible", which was a big hit on the earth, but ended quite dismal in this world. If you only look at the box office, it will definitely be successful, after all, it has brought a lot of profits to Galloping Horse Pictures, but ......
and Sun Peng's expected result, the difference is too far.
And the reason is also very simple, that is, because Sun Peng was not famous enough at the beginning, Galloping Horse Pictures was not willing to spend too much production funds at all. So when they wanted to continue filming the second part, Sun Peng refused this request without hesitation, and completely recovered all the copyrights of "Mission Impossible".
Since then, the name Lao Bai has never had anything to do with Galloping Horse Pictures.
But this time......
"Hehe, it's just my personal advice."
Regarding Sun Peng's question, the agent's answer was very simple: "In fact, Bullying Horse Pictures is only one of the three choices, but considering that they are one of the four major domestic film and television giants after all, it is not good for us to remain in such a stalemate with them...... Takagi Pictures and Galloping Horse have a very close relationship, so I thought about it, why not take this opportunity to try to work with them again? After all, it is one of the four giants of China, and there are huge distribution channels at home and abroad......"
Sun Peng doesn't care, but his agent knows very well how much effort Galloping Horse Pictures has made in the past two years to make up for the rift.
Of course, strictly speaking, it should be that after watching the Forbidden City and Lotus make a lot of money at the box office, and make a name for themselves overseas, Galloping Horse Pictures' eyes are getting redder and redder, and the more they regret falling out with Sun Peng back then - not only lost the opportunity to cooperate later, but more importantly, lost a series that may be a big hit!
Take a look at Lotus Pictures' "The Identity of Bourne", and then look at "Hurricane Rescue" in the Forbidden City!
In the same period, he cooperated with Lao Bai in three spy movies, and the other two made the film company make a lot of money, and Hurricane 2 won more than one billion dollars at the global box office, giving the Forbidden City the confidence to become the fifth largest film company in China; Although the box office of "Bourne's Identity 2" is not so arrogant, Lao Bai gave the script for the third part, which has shown great potential to create a series of movies!
So in the past two years, Galloping Horse Pictures has never stopped trying to cooperate again.
It's just a pity that Lao Bai is very stubborn, and this time there is a good opportunity like "The Terminator", and Galloping Horse Pictures finally firmly grasped it......
"That's right...... Okay, too. ”
After a moment of silence, Sun Peng nodded indifferently.
Anyway, the script was filmed by him for Wei Xiaolin, as long as he didn't change the director and didn't reduce the budget, in fact, Sun Peng didn't mind letting Galloping Horse Pictures join in. It's just that whether the other party will be able to cooperate with him again with this movie is unknown, and Sun Peng doesn't dare to say what will happen in the future......
……
The rest of the week passed in a hurry among many chores.
As popular young actors, Lang Chen and Lin Lin also took the opportunity to catch up with the progress of other work, and the two even cooperated in filming an advertisement for a drink in the past few days. Even Xue Ligang received several advertisements beautifully, and his income in a few days exceeded his salary for starring in "League of Assassins......
"Xiaopeng, next week, Mr. Fang will have a celebration banquet!"
After coming back, he found Sun Peng as soon as possible, and Xue Ligang asked with a smile: "Do you want to go with me to have a good time?" "True Lies" has a global box office of more than one billion dollars, you, the screenwriter, deserve to be the first hero, but before I came back, I was told by a thousand people to invite you over! ”
"Celebration feast? Where is it? ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and Sun Peng asked a little reluctantly.
Under Sun Peng's somewhat flickering gaze, Xue Ligang hurriedly smiled and said, "Hehe, the celebration banquet must be in the capital!" If everything goes well, you will be able to go back and forth in a day and a half at most, and then let Director Song help you take care of the mirror for two days! ”
"Hmm......"
Rubbing his chin, Sun Peng was still a little hesitant in his heart.
After a week off, he now comes back thinking about continuing to make movies as soon as possible, and is not too interested in participating in other activities. Especially for something like the celebration banquet, it is appropriate to give Xue Ligang two days off, after all, he is the leading actor! But Sun Peng's words...... I knew with my thighs that if he went, he would definitely be surrounded by reporters in three layers and three layers outside, and then ask a bunch of questions that he didn't want to and couldn't answer, how boring!
And......
pinched the corners of his eyebrows with a little headache, Sun Peng smiled bitterly: "Brother Xue, I think this time in addition to the celebration banquet, I'm afraid there is something to talk about the sequel script, right?" ”
Regarding the script of the sequel, the two sides have been arguing for a long time.
Sun Peng will definitely not take out the second and third parts of the hurricane rescue, especially after the success of the "cameo" in "True Lies", it is even more impossible for him to do so. So when Sun Ya negotiated with the Forbidden City, she always insisted on selling the copyright, but no longer wrote the script. But for Forbidden City Pictures, they are absolutely unwilling to use other people's scripts to destroy the super IP of "Hurricane Rescue"!
That's right, it's ruined!
Maybe someone can imitate Sun Peng's style and write a great script, but neither Fang Lanshen nor Xue Ligang believe that they can write a billion-dollar box office!
In fact, there is only one person in the whole of China.
So after listening to Sun Peng's question at this time, Xue Ligang scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, this matter must be discussed...... But Xiaopeng, why don't you want to write a sequel? You must know that just based on the results of the second part, even if you want a box office dividend of 20 points, I think Mr. Fang dares to give it! ”
In Xue Ligang's opinion, such conditions are simply good enough to break through the sky!
Merely......
Looking at Xue Ligang's expectant look, Sun Peng could only shake his head secretly, and then said with a smile on his face: "Brother Xue, I'll think about the sequel later, after all, the script depends on inspiration." It's like I didn't want to write a second part in the first place, and I wrote it when the inspiration came, this thing really can't be talked about......"
