705 Have You Ever Seen a Lion? (Ask for subscription)
Let's be honest.
When Gu Miao saw the bald wooden house for the first time, he was actually a little envious of him in his heart.
That's a lot of space!
One person, two or three rooms are enough. And the spacious courtyard outside made Gu Miao, who lived in the concrete forest and was used to living in buildings, greedy.
Living in a bustling city, although you enjoy all kinds of education, medical care, and work conveniences, it is difficult to have a small farm yard like Bald Qiang, which is enough to park four or five cars.
Not to mention, the bald head who lives here can not only have a signal, but also watch TV, and the courier can also deliver to your door, which is amazing......
Perhaps the only regret is that the wooden house is too old and the difficulty of going to work is far away.
But it's nothing.
If there is really such a forest wooden house with electricity and express delivery, even if it costs a little more money to renovate it, it is actually very worthwhile.
Of course!
The premise of all this is to be rich, if you are as poor as bald, then living in this wooden house is probably not a pleasure, but a kind of torture.
Building a scene is a bit time-consuming.
Just as Gu Miao was leading the production team of "Bear Infested" to carry out "detail" research and design around the bald wooden house, Du Hao returned from North America.
He brought back good news!
MGM and Warner, who are among the eight giants of Hollywood, are very interested in the animated film "The Lion King".
However, Warner was obviously more greedy and wanted to get involved in the copyright of the project, so Du Hao politely refused.
On the other hand, MGMew was full of sincerity, not only agreeing to Wanbao's conditions, but also promising to handle the global distribution of the film.
"Then Michael Meek!"
When Gu Miao heard MGM's name, she subconsciously felt a little dazed, thinking of the "Cat and Mouse" animation being produced by the North American branch.
It's really fateful!
After missing out on the animation "Cat and Mouse", they actually wanted to work with Wanbao on "The Lion King", which sounds very abstract.
Gu Miao sent Du Hao to Hollywood's main goal, mainly to win over another giant who has made "achievements" in the field of animation.
But Du Hao told him.
The Hollywood animation giant is currently focusing more on the field of "live-action film and television", and some look down on Wanbao from Huaguo and disdain to cooperate with it.
"Look down on us?"
The corners of Gu Miao's mouth twitched, he didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant and arrogant, and he couldn't even look down on the animation company ranked No. 1 in Asia?
What kind of giant are you?
People don't look down on Wanbao, Gu Miao naturally won't be a licking dog, and use a hot face to stick to other people's cold butts, in fact, Michael is also very good.
Although in the field of animation, the results are not very good, and the field of live-action film and television has been declining in the past two years, but the foundation is still very strong.
Working with them, Gu Miao at least doesn't have to worry about the distribution of the movie, and he doesn't have to worry about the partner being too strong, and in turn eating Wanbao.
Of course, the investors involved in the "Lion King" project platter are far more than just MGM, there are more than a dozen in total!
[In view of the general environment,
It's just that other investors are not giants in terms of energy and grade, and they can't be compared with Wanbao and MGM.
So Gu Miao didn't care.
The total investment in the movie "The Lion King" project is expected to be as high as 55 million US dollars, which was not so much, but after MGM joined in, he invested a sum of money in the project team.
That's all it adds up.
This is only the pre-production budget, not including the publicity and promotion, and when the movie is scheduled to be released, there will definitely be an exaggerated publicity budget.
"That's an exaggeration!"
"Such a big investment
Do you really want me to be the director of a movie?" Du Hao asked with some apprehension.
The total investment is tens of millions of dollars! The unit is US dollars, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of RMB!
Let him take over such a big plate, Du Hao said that he was not panicked or nervous, that must be fake, in fact, he is panicking now.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Isn't there a foreign assistant director designated by Michael under you, the director?" Gu Miao raised her eyebrows, "If you don't dare to shoot, then I'll let him take the position!"
"Don't!"
As soon as Du Hao heard that his position was likely to be replaced by the assistant director designated by MGM, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "How can our production team let a foreign devil be the boss?"
It's a matter of face!
Whether he's flustered or not, or stressed, he's going to have to go up. Otherwise, there will be no one to choose, is it really necessary to let the foreign assistant director take the position?
"Don't worry!"
Gu Miao smiled and patted Du Hao's shoulder and comforted him, "I'm the producer, what are you afraid of staring at you with me?"
Don't worry, do it boldly.
Regardless of whether it is done well or not, this kind of thing must be done first in order to accumulate rich experience.
With the idea of cultivating professional talents, from a long-term perspective, Gu Miao also feels that this investment is nothing even if it is lost.
There are still a long days to come!
If you don't dare to take the first step, then what plans are you talking about going to sea? Just curl up in a comfortable nest for the rest of your life.
Du Hao's position as a director is actually a forcibly appointed candidate, after all, Gu Miao needs complete control of the "Lion King" project.
Change a director, such as a foreign assistant director recommended by MGM to shoot? Maybe the finished film will be better, but that doesn't do Wanbao Animation any good.
Use your own platform to cultivate talents for others, and you have to thank others for helping you when you are done, is it cheap?
"You go and find all the people first."
Gu Miao instructed: "Communicate more with that foreigner assistant director, he is a famous animation director of Haolaiwu, and he must have a lot of ability."
"Okay, I see."
Du Hao nodded, and was about to get up to say goodbye, when he suddenly heard Mr. Gu's inquiry again.
"Speaking of which, how are you going to shoot this movie, and where are you going to shoot it?"
"Huh??"
Du Hao looked confused, not understanding what Mr. Gu meant by asking.
Where else can the animation be filmed?
If you don't do it in the company, do you want to go to Hollywood to do animation? That's too far! Once you come and go, the air ticket alone is a lot of money!
"Not ......"
Gu Miao shook her head and explained, "I didn't mean that, I asked you to go to Africa."
"Africa?!"
"That's right, Africa!"
Gu Miao grinned and said, "Have you ever seen a real lion? If you haven't seen it, how can you make a perfect Lion King animation?"
Really, a lion?
Do you pant and bite?
Du Hao was frightened, and just when he wanted to say "it's not necessary", Gu Miao continued: "One or two may not be enough......
"So I asked you to take people to Africa and arrange for you to have enough lions, all kinds of lions, giraffes, zebras and other animals to get up close and personal!"
Thank you!
Du Hao thought of himself running on the African grassland, with lions chasing frantically behind him, and his face turned white in an instant.
