Chapter 962: A movie that was completed in four months
"It doesn't have to be too high, it's pretty much it."
Sun Peng was quite pleased with the decision of Forbidden City Pictures to give up pestering itself and start focusing on the copyright of the Hurricane series. So when the second sister called, he immediately gave his own decision, and said with a smile: "Although I won't write any more scripts, this series has been firmly branded by me, so ......"
"So you can take less royalties and let them spend as much money as possible on production costs?"
"Well, that's what it means."
Stretching his waist, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Since you know my thoughts, sister, then the "Matrix" on the Lotus side will also be dealt with in this way." β
"Okay, got it!"
Sun Ya has always been very happy, and soon hung up the phone.
The phone did not avoid people, so Wei Xiaolin, who was listening to the whole process, waited for Sun Peng to put down the phone, and couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, the billion-dollar box office can't make you tempted...... I was so naΓ―ve that I dared to think about "Terminator 2"! β
ββ¦β¦β
Although he didn't speak, Gao Runqing on the other side nodded with concern.
As the owner of a film company, to say that he is not interested in the box office of other people's hurricanes and hackers is absolutely fake. And when everyone started talking before, Wei Xiaolin even said that the Terminator would be another hurricane rescue, as long as the foundation of the first part was laid, the harvest time would follow.
But now the question is, will Lao Bai write "Terminator 2"?
In the past, because of Wei Xiaolin, Gao Runqing was full of confidence, but now that he knows what happened to the two super blockbusters, he really doesn't dare to think about it.
"Haha, Terminator 2 will definitely have it!"
After pondering for a while, Sun Peng suddenly smiled, and first reassured Wei Xiaolin and Gao Runqing: "Brother Wei, "Terminator 1" was originally just a foreshadowing, and the focus was on the back. So there will definitely be a second part, and if all goes well, there may even be a third part......"
"Terminator 2" is a real classic, and Sun Peng will definitely not give up. Even the third part, which has a lot of bad reviews, is not very reluctant to take it out because Sun Peng feels okay himself.
However, just when Wei Xiaolin and Gao Runqing's eyes lit up and their hearts were overjoyed, Sun Peng smiled leisurely: "But ......"
Two words made the hearts of the two people suddenly rise again.
After pausing for a moment and raising his momentum a little, Sun Peng continued: "But whether the second part will be handed over to Takagi Pictures, or let Brother Wei shoot it, I'm not very sure!" β
"Huh? What do you mean? β
After hearing these words, Wei Xiaolin was dumbfounded.
After sneering, Sun Peng's expression became serious: "It means that the production cost of "Terminator 2" will increase significantly, at least it will be the kind that starts at 500 million!" And whether it is the shooting scene or the special effects shot, it is not the same concept as the first part...... The demands on directors and producers will be high! To put it simply, "Terminator 2" will be a real sci-fi blockbuster, so whether Takagi Pictures and Brother Wei have the ability to shoot it, I'm afraid everything is unknown! β
Although he had a good relationship in private, Sun Peng didn't give Wei Xiaolin much face at this time.
Not to mention that Sun Peng has always cherished the works of the earth, and will not give them easily, let's just say that "Terminator 2" has invested hundreds of millions of yuan, if the entrusted non-human fails, it will smear Lao Bai's resume, which is also unacceptable to Sun Peng. So even if Wei Xiaolin is his friend, Sun Peng will not easily promise.
"Okay, I see!"
Waving his hand to stop the anxious Gao Runqing, Wei Xiaolin nodded calmly and said, "No surprise, it's really your style!" But don't worry, I won't give you another chance to choose a director......"
"Hahaha......"
Looking at the ambition faintly flashing in Wei Xiaolin's eyes, Sun Peng was suddenly happy.
After expressing his attitude, Sun Peng brought the topic to the point, and said with a smile: "Okay, even if the second part is going to be filmed, it is definitely not a recent thing, why wait until the results of the first part are released!" So the point now is that it's not easy for me to come here today, what exactly do you want to show me? β
Blinking, Wei Xiaolin smiled and said, "What are you looking at?" Of course, it's "Terminator 1"! β
"Oh? You're done too? β
After listening to Wei Xiaolin's words, Sun Peng smiled a little carelessly.
"The Terminator" and "League of Assassins" started filming almost at the same time, and there was no difference of a few days. And the movie directed by Sun Peng has been completed for two or three weeks, and "Terminator" should be about the same......
"No, no, it's not the end! I'm letting you watch it! β
ββ¦β¦β
The moment he heard Wei Xiaolin's answer, the smile on Sun Peng's face instantly froze.
"I'll go, just kidding, right?!"
After a pause, Sun Peng puffed out his eyes and exclaimed, "Brother Wei, this joke is not funny at all!" When did you guys start filming Terminator, right? How long has it been since you're going to show me Terminator? β
"Four months, isn't it a short time?"
Compared with Sun Peng's surprise, Wei Xiaolin also blinked his eyes and said in surprise: "The script you wrote yourself, you should know very well whether this film is difficult to shoot, right?" β
"But ......"
The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Sun Peng was still a little difficult to accept.
The filming time for League of Assassins was also short, but let's not forget how long it took to prepare for it. All the sets and props were prepared, and the actors rehearsed many times, with the full assistance of the two assistant directors...... Of course, more importantly, Sun Peng has a complete movie in his mind, and he doesn't need to think or shoot more shots for backup, so he saves a lot of time, so he can finish it in one go, and it will be completed in just two or three months.
But after the finish, there is still a long post-production process!
Originally, Sun Peng wanted to rush to work and get on the New Year file as much as possible, but later postponed the schedule to the end of March and April next year after the summer vacation. In Sun Peng's opinion, this is already quite in a hurry.
But look at Wei Xiaolin!
Even if "Terminator 1" itself is not complicated, the scenes are not big, and the special effects shots are very few, but it is also a science fiction movie made by Hollywood in the 80s for millions of dollars! It was filmed and produced by Wei Xiaolin in four months......
Looking at Sun Peng's tangled appearance, Wei Xiaolin felt very happy, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Also, don't forget, I strictly followed your script this time, and I didn't play it myself at all...... For a director, there really is no easier job than making a movie like this! As for the level of post-production? Anyway, it's a rough cut version, don't you know if you go and see it? β
"Okay, let's take a look first!"
Scratching his head, Sun Pengle said: "Since Brother Wei is so confident, let's see how the movie you made in four months is good......
