Most people's ambitions will continue to grow.

Sun Peng is like this, in fact, Xia Qingqing and Chen Muchen are also like this. Especially Xia Qingqing, after participating in several animations with Japan and the United States in a row, the animation director of DreamWorks actually has a vague idea - if you don't try it yourself, you never know how far you can go!

Why? Why should DreamWorks only play a supporting role?

In the production of "Frozen", DreamWorks at that time was a pure supporting role, most of the time acting as an "outsourcer" for the Capoca company. To put it bluntly, it is to do the most basic work under the command of others! Then came to "The Lion King", although Sun Peng won a more important position for DreamWorks, but in the actual production, it was still Capoca, but DreamWorks changed from a low-level junior brother to a senior junior brother.

The skills are not as good as people, and there is nothing to say.

But when DreamWorks has been established for longer and longer, more and more elites have been recruited from all sides, and the overall strength has become stronger day by day under the gaze of Xia Qingqing and Chen Muchen, and has reached a level above their psychological standard line, the idea of wanting to be a big brother can no longer be suppressed.

Merely......

After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Chen Muchen's voice trembled and he smiled dryly: "Hehe, Xiaopeng, that's a billion-level investment, or ...... Let's be cautious? ”

"Ahem, I think so."

coughed lightly twice, Xia Qingqing's expression was also a little weak.

Ambition is ambition, but if the price of realizing one's ambition is the capital risk of more than one billion Huaxia coins, it is Lao Bai's golden signboard, and both of them are a little shamefully afraid!

Afraid of what?

I'm afraid that the animation I made will fail miserably, and I will lose all the funds and fame that DreamWorks has accumulated in recent years, and more importantly, word of mouth! At the same time, he was afraid of losing Sun Peng's trust in them, so he completely handed over the adaptation rights of his picture books to the Americans, or other larger, more experienced animation companies!

As for Sun Peng, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Be cautious? What does that brother and sister mean...... Do you want to continue to work with the Americans? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Muchen said in a deep voice: "It's okay to continue to cooperate with the Americans, but it's not necessary. If you want me to say, in fact, the strength of those in China is also very strong, whether it is production experience or those Chinese animation elites, they will be a good supplement and cooperation for us......"

Although he was apprehensive in his heart, Chen Muchen's ambition was still a little uncontrollable.

So as soon as he heard Chen Muchen's words, Sun Peng immediately understood that although his fellow senior brother brought those Chinese animation companies, he obviously just let them be assistants! The real person in charge is still DreamWorks itself!

However, Sun Peng liked this result very much, and the corners of his mouth were happy: "OK, then that's it, let's preliminarily open a new animation by ourselves!" ”

"Huh? That's it? ”

“……”

After listening to Sun Peng's words, one of the two bigwigs in DreamWorks raised his head in amazement, and the other couldn't help but roll his eyes!

"Hehe, how complicated can it be?"

Standing up and stretching, Sun Peng said with a smile: "I have also made a few animations before and after these years, and DreamWorks now wants people and money, why can't you just do it?" Senior brother and sister, let's start preparing, let's make a real animated blockbuster that belongs to Huaxia in one step......"

……

While Sun Peng was dreaming about DreamWorks' first independent animated film, and Chen Muchen and the others were also desperately making various plans, in another corner of the capital, a group of people were anxious because of him.

"The current situation is that Mr. Bai firmly disagrees to continue writing a sequel."

Facing the solemn boss Fang Lanshen, Xue Ligang said with a wry smile: "It's been talking about this for almost half a year, but except for the agent Sun Ya, they haven't even seen Teacher Bai himself!" Mr. Fang, I think I'm afraid that asking him to write a sequel script is really unacceptable! ”

After a moment of silence, Fang Lanshen did not continue to ask Xue Ligang, but turned his gaze to a middle-aged man next to him: "Less, how is the box office performance of "The Matrix" this week?" ”

"It's amazing! Very powerful! ”

After taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said: "In the third week of its release, "The Matrix" won more than 600 million box office in China, and now the total box office has reached 2.5 billion, and finally more than 3.5 billion is a foregone conclusion, it depends on whether it can break through the 4 billion mark!" As for overseas, more than 100 million in North America is definitely no problem, and 150 million is a bit difficult......"

"What about the global box office? Can it be over a billion dollars? ”

Regarding Fang Lanshen's question, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, slowly shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but it's very difficult to look at the current situation!" Our estimate is between 850 million and 900 million, with a probability of more than 60%! ”

"Hoo ......"

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Fang Lanshen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh my god, it's so stressful!

If the box office of "The Matrix" surpasses "True Lies", then Fang Lanshen will probably be heartbroken this year! You must know that people are completely original, and "True Lies" is a sequel movie.

Of course, Fang Lanshen's purpose in asking the box office was not to compare again, but then asked: "What did Lotus Pictures say?" I heard that their desire to start sequel negotiations was also rejected by Lao Bai? ”

"Yes, it does!"

Nodding, the middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "I have already found someone to confirm, Sun Ya refused the request to negotiate the sequel script, but made it clear that Lao Bai will sell the copyright of the hacker series and let Lotus Pictures deal with it on its own...... The same attitude as our Hurricane Rescue series! ”

"Hehe, we're okay? At least there is a second episode! ”

When he heard this, Xue Ligang, who had been frowning, was suddenly happy.

didn't laugh with Xue Ligang, Fang Lanshen frowned, and after muttering for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Tsk, it looks like there's really no hope!" You said that the global box office of the two movies is so high, and he alone has hundreds of millions of dividends to be gained, why is he unwilling to write the script for the sequel? ”

For a businessman like Fang Lanshen, this kind of thing is simply incredible.

Hearing his words, Xue Ligang's first reaction was envy - he knew that Sun Peng's basic salary was not much, and the focus was on the share of the global box office, and hundreds of millions of Huaxia coins must be appropriate. But after envy, he smiled and said: "Mr. Fang, although the box office dividends are considerable, firstly, Mr. Bai himself is a rich man, and secondly, his genius has countless ideas in his head...... Let's just say that the new movie I'm going to make this time is probably no worse than the two you said! ”

"Oh? Do you think it's great? ”

Hearing Xue Ligang say this, Fang Lanshen suddenly became interested.

"Yes, I think this movie is going to be amazing!"

Forbidden City Pictures is also one of the investors of "League of Assassins", so Xue Ligang has nothing to hide, nodded and exclaimed: "Although I haven't seen the finished film, I know that this will be a very exciting action movie, so ...... Mr. Fang, give up, I'm afraid Lao Bai won't write the script of the sequel to Hurricane Rescue anymore! ”

If you still had an idea before, after starring as the villain among the assassins, Xue Ligang was no longer hopeful.

People have a lot of ideas, why do they always go to fry cold rice?

Maybe for Xue Ligang, a "Hurricane Rescue" is of great significance, but for people like Lao Bai, it is just a flash of inspiration or a flash of inspiration.

“…… All right. ”

After being silent for a while, Fang Lanshen nodded with a disappointed expression.

In order to convince Lao Bai, Forbidden City Pictures has been delayed for too long, so after hearing the news that Lotus Pictures was also rejected, Fang Lanshen, who was psychologically balanced, didn't want to continue to entangle, and turned his head to the middle-aged man: "Forget it, let's start discussing copyright issues with Lao Bai's agent...... Ahem, listen to what they mean about the price first! ”

As soon as he thought of the possible price of the copyright of the Hurricane Rescue series, Fang Lanshen's head hurt again.

Don't even think about it, it must be sky-high!

The copyright of the sequel, Forbidden City Pictures, also has a part, but if you want to start filming, you must get Lao Bai's consent, and it is best to win the copyright share in his hands. But how much can the rights to a sequel to a movie that grossed more than a billion dollars worldwide be worth?

Shaking his head, Fang Lanshen couldn't help but look at Xue Ligang next to him again, and sighed: "In addition, since Lao Bai is unwilling to continue writing scripts, let's find someone quickly!" The preparation of "Hurricane Rescue 3" must start as soon as possible......"
