Chapter 1357: The Big Three?
Sit in your seat, Angela? Bunt was strange.
In her pitiful common sense, her boyfriend is Michael? Pete, a famous Hollywood star, is one of the world's most powerful movie superstars at the box office! If he wants to work with a director or a film company, the other party must be ecstatic and grateful.
So she didn't really understand, why did her boyfriend's expression be so weird after Laobai nodded and agreed? He even blurted out a question: "Really?" ”
Surprise?
No, no, not just a surprise, I'm afraid there is also a little bit of surprise?
Angela? Of course, Bont won't understand that even if his boyfriend is a superstar in Hollywood, he can't cooperate with any film company he wants, and he will give him this face if he wants to find a director or screenwriter......
But this time, Michael? Pete was surprised.
Because this is not the first time he has invited Sun Peng to work together, and when he was invited several times before, the name laobai was not as high as it is now. So he couldn't understand for a while, why did he agree to his invitation after a crazy summer vacation, or after using the past ten movies to establish himself as an indisputable position?
Just in Michael? When Pete was surprised, Sun Peng picked up the red wine he brought and took a sip and said with a smile: "Of course it's true!" A sci-fi action movie with an investment of at least $150 million, and a Chinese action actress...... Michael, are you interested? ”
"If it's Lin Lin, I'm definitely interested!"
Eyes narrowed slightly, Michael? Pete finally came to his senses and nodded with a smile.
It doesn't matter if they're joking or real, Michael? Pete, of course, will be as interested as ever. And there is another advantage of cooperating with Sun Peng, that is, he doesn't have to think about the constraints of which film company he has to cooperate with, because he knows that the opposite direction will only publish the script, and the rest will not matter.
But if you want to work with a Chinese female star, Michael? Pete hopes it's Lin Lin.
This is not only because Lin Lin is now the most famous and marketable action actress in China, but also because the other party is Sun Peng's cousin, who has starred in several Lao Bai's scripts in the past few years...... If this guy is a cheater, he can't even cheat his cousin, right?
Listened to Michael? After Pete's words, Sun Peng shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Haha, I can't guarantee this!" The only guarantee I can make is that I will come up with the script in six months to a year, and as for my cousin, I will mention it to her, but there is no guarantee that she will agree, because she may not really have much time to ...... in the next year or two."
……
"Mr. Laobai, what do you think of yourself not being selected for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?"
"Can you tell us about your future work plans, Mr. Laobai?"
"We know your new movie won't be released in North America, is it intentional for the distribution company, or is the theater rejecting your new movie?"
……
"See you the night after tomorrow, Sun."
"See you the night after tomorrow!"
No one paid attention to the reporters who jumped to ask questions, Sun Peng and Michael? Pete hugged each other and left a message for each other. The night after tomorrow is the Oscar ceremony, and the two who have already confirmed their attendance will naturally meet again.
Turning your head at Angela? Bont smiled slightly, and Sun Peng nodded, "Goodbye, Miss Bonter." ”
"Goodbye."
Then under the eyes of the two stars, Sun Peng lowered his head and got into the car that drove directly to the door, leaving a bunch of desperate eyes of reporters, and they immediately turned to Michael? Pete's topic!
"Mr. Pete, when did you and Laobai meet?"
"When we meet together this time, are we discussing new film cooperation?"
"Mr. Pete......"
……
After the car drove far away, Liu Chang finally couldn't help but ask, "You want to talk to Michael?" Pete collaboration? Are you sure? ”
"Of course, I'm pretty sure!"
Stretching his waist, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Since I am willing to endure humiliation and burden to participate in the Oscars, isn't it natural to continue to cooperate with Hollywood?" Especially Michael? A star of Pete's level has a great influence when working together, which can offset the boycott of many Western audiences, right? ”
"Bear the burden?"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Liu Chang really couldn't help but roll his eyes!
Okay, participating in the Oscars and becoming one of the heavyweight award presenters, in his mouth, has become a burden of humiliation? In this case, it is estimated that 99.9% of the world's celebrities want to come to Los Angeles to endure humiliation, right?
However, for Sun Peng's choice, Liu Chang quite agreed.
No one expected that Western audiences would react so strongly last summer, which greatly affected the overseas box office of "Mulan" and "Tomb Raider". Because for a long time in the past, Sun Peng's entire agent team was thinking about how to solve the ...... At the very least, the impact of this should be mitigated.
After all, they don't want to lose the overseas box office market.
And in the end, I came to the conclusion that I would continue to cooperate with Hollywood, at least for a short time. And working with the top directors and stars is also the first priority - everyone does not expect Hollywood to change its attitude towards Sun Peng because of this, but let some of them accept it first, and at the same time give Western audiences a buffer is the most important thing.
After thinking about this, Liu Chang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then do you want to just put Steve again?" Lucas pulled in? Form a true triumvirate lineup...... Wow, that's pretty awesome! ”
As he spoke, Liu Chang became excited first.
Lao Bai or Laobai, one of the best screenwriters in the world, Michael? Pitt, a real Hollywood superstar and one of the world's most popular stars at the box office, and Steve? Lucas, one of the three Hollywood directors, is no worse than these two!
What will be the result of the three of them working together on a movie?
And the key is Steve? Lucas once took the initiative to seek cooperation, which Liu Chang knows very well, and believes that as long as Sun Peng sends an invitation......
"Haha, don't think about it!"
Without waiting for Liu Chang to think about the box office of this movie in the future, Sun Peng had already laughed twice and ruthlessly interrupted her obscenity: "Unless you are willing to persuade investors to come up with another $100 million to pay for the film, you still don't even think about the cooperation of the three giants or something!" It's just the two of us, I'm afraid we have to lower our salaries in order to cooperate, do you believe it or not? ”
“…… All right! ”
The beautiful fantasy was ruthlessly punctured, and Liu Chang gave up helplessly and regrettably.
For a commercial blockbuster, it is not a big problem to feed one superstar if the results are good, but it is a bit difficult to feed two. Because many superstars not only want a fixed salary, but also the final box office dividends......
The proportion of dividends is unimaginable to ordinary celebrities.
Now there are Lao Bai and Michael? Pete, if the two don't reduce their salaries, it is obvious that this movie will not be filmed!
All the profits of the movie were taken away by the two, what did the film company want?
Unless the two of them invest on their own, but in that case, the final issuance will still be handed over to others, and they will be slaughtered severely!
Therefore, raising two superstars is already the limit for a big production, and if you want to raise three, unless the investment in the film rushes to 300 million US dollars, or the boss of the film company doesn't want to make money at all, just to cooperate with the three main creators and have a good time......
