Chapter 385: Tangled Candidates (Subscription Requested)
Before he left, he stuffed poor Stephen Sommers into James Cameron's crew.
Then the boy also whispered to James Cameron that he could use him, and working hard to exercise and sharpen him was the best spur for him.
James Cameron doesn't care, anyway, in his eyes, everyone is a tool man, and anyone can use it.
Now that there is one more player, he is happy to see it.
On the way back to the company, Xu Luo told Chen Xiyue the reason: "Sister, listen to you say that you don't think, when I got to the set and saw such a grand scale, and watched Cameron doing things in such an orderly manner, I knew that his success was not accidental! The first and second parts of "Terminator" can be successful, and that is how it should be!"
The two are now sitting in the back of the commercial car, speaking in Chinese, so they don't have to worry about the driver hearing them.
Chen Xiyue gave him a blank look and said, "Could this be the reason why you added $30 million to him? Did you know that although we made a lot of money this year, we didn't have a total of $60 million on our books!
Now "Friends" and "Plastic Surgery Room" are going to make a second season, "Scream" is also going to be done, "New York Catastrophe" is also going to be done, and "Death Express" is also going to be done...... And the "X file" you mentioned, which one doesn't cost anything?"
Xuluo smiled, "Don't worry, we have foreign aid, they will help with the money."
As he spoke, he told Chen Xiyue about the cooperation intentions he told about in Nichiban and Nobuyuki Idei.
Chen Xiyue frowned and said, "You just told him, he also has to think about it, what if he feels that he is too much of a loss?"
Xuluo shook his head: "Nobuyuki Idei has a heart to climb up, and he will not give up such an opportunity. So just wait, he will come and sign an agreement with me while I'm in Mi Kingdom."
"Oh? Are you so sure? Won't he give you a pat and wait until you're in trouble before throwing money in?"
"If he does that, then we're not friends working together, we're people in business." Xuluo still shook his head: "He's so smart, of course he knows that it's better to be a friend with me than a partner with me."
"But in this way, we have to give up 42% of our profits on Jurassic Park, which is really reluctant!" Chen Xiyue sighed.
30% of the investment amount, plus 12% of the publicity and distribution costs, this is a real profit!
Chen Xiyue calculated a little, even if he got a box office of 300 million US dollars, he could only get almost 100 million US dollars, and after deducting the investment quota of 42 million, he could only earn 60 million US dollars.
And then there are all kinds of taxes and various shares, and the maximum amount that falls into the hands of the cloth sewing monster is twenty or thirty million dollars.
If you don't count the income from videotapes, TV copyrights and overseas distribution, it is really embarrassing that you can only get back so much money after two years of hard work.
But the benefits are not without it.
The copyright of the surrounding rights and interests of "Jurassic Park" is completely in the hands of Xuluo.
Except for a small share to be given to Michael Clayton, most of it was obtained by Void Luo.
If "Jurassic Park" sets off a storm, then it is conceivable that all kinds of peripheral products will sell well, and with the ability of the people of Mi to develop peripheral products, it is not difficult to earn five or six billion US dollars in ten years. Then with the foundation of the first part, the second "Jurassic Park" will make more money, and if it can really form a trilogy, the profit on the whole chain will be greater.
To say the least, it's two or three billion dollars!
After his thoughts flickered, Chen Xiyue asked Xuluodao, "The single comic book of "The Walking Dead" has exceeded 1 million copies in a single issue, and everyone is asking when a TV series or movie will be released, what do you think?"
Here to popularize it, the people of Mi like to read comics the most.
Both adults and children love to read volumes of manga.
But most of the ones I read are the kind of comic book weekly, such as Marvel's, C's, and the collection version of Dark Horse Comics.
If it is popular, it can be published in a single book.
But the sales of a single book depends on the specific popularity.
If you can sell 1 million copies, it's definitely a first-class comic.
Such comics are generally included in the eyes of film and television company giants, and the next step is to negotiate the purchase of shooting rights.
Lesser-known cartoonists suffer a little more, but big-name cartoonists have a lot of power, not only asking for a lot of adaptation fees, but also having the right to direct the shooting.
It means that no matter the actors, screenwriters, plots, production links, etc., they must be satisfied.
Of course, there are very few cartoonists who can do it all, that is, Stan Lee and a few.
Xuluo's fame is definitely not as good as Stan Lee and others, but he has a plug-in.
is not only a cartoonist, but also a genius screenwriter, what is even more helpless is that he is the owner of a film and television production company, and he has already made two TV series with good ratings in a row.
So some people came to ask if they could cooperate.
We are working together to develop animations, TV series, and movie rights.
Although you have a mature film and television production company, we have a lot of channels, and we also have rich production experience, and we can do it in full, you are waiting to get points.
To be honest, these conditions are already humble.
But Chen Xiyue still refused.
Even if the good meat stinks, it has to rot in its own pot.
But what to do next, she still has to listen to Xuluo's opinion.
"Wait another two years!"
Xuluo groaned, "Although 'The Walking Dead' is very popular, it is just a comic book after all. It's only been released for a year, and there aren't enough manga fans cultivated. After three or five years, the influence of the whole child has expanded, and it is not too late to consider making TV dramas."
Chen Xiyue agreed with him: "Well, okay, anyway, I also think that according to the current special effects technology, it is still a bit difficult to make "The Walking Dead". If we don't do it, we won't do it, and if we do it, we have to do it to be the best."
"However, although I don't make TV dramas, I can still carry out the comic book fan club activities and the development of some peripheral small goods." "At the beginning, you need to gather enough popularity, and you don't care if you make money or not." "Okay!"
Chen Xiyue blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, "Friends" already has a spontaneous fan club, since you say so, then we can just run one." Let the actors also occasionally go to their activities on weekdays to increase the stickiness of these fans!
In the second season of "Friends" this year, I hope to really be in the top three! At that time, the weight of our cloth stitching monsters will be different!"
Xuluo smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Sister Chen was so interested, he was embarrassed to say that in fact, the popularity of the TV series was secondary.
When "Jurassic Park" comes out, you look at the popularity of the big dinosaurs, and that's what will make you jaw-dropping.
There is another point he didn't tell Chen Xiyue.
That's Jurassic Park, and it's actually possible to be a theme park.
This is also the reason why Xuluo must retain the rights and interests of the surrounding areas and not let go of anyone.
Think about Disneyland, how many young people can they attract each year with this alone?
When these people grow up, will they like Disney's various products more, so as to subtly influence their children and grandchildren?
My Jurassic Park will develop well in the future, can't I do the same?
Everybody loves big dinosaurs, and everyone comes to play with big dinosaurs, how nice is it?
……
Chen Xiyue still had something to do, so the car drove her back to the company directly and put Xuluo at the door of the hotel.
Go and drink with Spike Lee in the evening
When it's time for coffee, the car will come to pick up Xuluo again.
Xuluo originally wanted to talk to Zhou Yanfa and them, but after asking the front desk, he found out that they had already left the hotel to go out for a walk.
So the boy had to go back to his room and write.
He wrote the theme song "Myheartillgoon" of "Titanic" for the first time.
Because when he was going to do "Sudden Love", Oda and Masashi taught Xuluo a lot of music knowledge, so now Xuluo is quite familiar with music scores or something.
has the deep sound of the song in his memory, Xuluo wrote it quickly, and restored the whole song in about half an hour.
hummed the song softly again, and Xuluo himself definitely couldn't sing it, so he could only hum softly.
When looking for singers in the future, you can't look for those bass, you must have a very clear soprano.
Well......
The boy quickly thought of Sakai Spring Water.
The sound of Sakai Spring Water is not only clean, but also very clear, and I remember that when she sang "MYFRIEN", she could soar straight up.
Give her a try when the time comes.
Throwing the song sheet aside, Xuluo began to ponder the corners of "X File Eucalyptus" again.
The heroine is actually simple, just find a beautiful and intellectually beautiful blonde - just like the "original" one.
However, with Xuluo's aesthetics, she must be more beautiful than her, and then it is better to be younger than her.
Because considering that "X File Eucalyptus" can be done for at least ten or even fifteen years, Xuluo hopes that when the heroine is finally finished, she can still maintain the charm of her thirties, rather than being in her forties, which is supported by makeup. ....Still according to the old rules, first send out the audition requirements, and then if it doesn't work, go to the major brokerage companies and ask them to recommend.
Xuluo himself is very willing to discover the treasure and find an actress who will become popular in the future.
It's a pity that so far, he hasn't seen any of them.
Jennifer Aniston, who is bubbling with beauty in "Friends", has been contacted several times without giving him any hints, which shows that once a TV actor has formed a preconceived image, it is difficult to get out of it and move towards other TV series or movies.
But it doesn't matter.
No matter how compressed the filming of "Friends" is, it should take five or six years, and in the next ten years, "Friends" is Jennifer Aniston's best stepping stone.
If she can't become popular like this, then it is not Xuluo's responsibility.
It's all about the corners.
Xuluo thought back to the "original" "X-file eucalyptus" The horn was not so strong, and he looked a little thin.
This has to do with the fact that it is based on intelligence and analytical judgment, a bit like Sherlock Holmes.
But in the hands of Xuluo, although this corner is still superior in intelligence and excellent analytical judgment, it also needs a little necessary force.
A Chinese actor who doesn't know martial arts is not a good actor, right?
Since audiences all over the world have this impression, then deepen their impression, at least have a distinct label, and it will be easier to penetrate into people's hearts.
Besides, the fights in the TV series are basically fancy and will not be as realistic as the movie.
There is a team of martial arts instructors in Xiangjiang to help, as long as you can play well.
Xuluo first looked for it from the mainland actors he knew.
After thinking about it, I didn't find a suitable one.
Jiang Wen has a shoehorn face, and as soon as he goes up, he knows that he is not a person who uses his brain.
Ge You's image is also not good, it has nothing to do with being smart and capable.
Zhang Zijian...... No, he has two roles, Yan Shuangying and Li Yuanfang, so he doesn't need to come to the dock to toss again.
And he has no experience at all, he doesn't even know English, how do you communicate with the crew?
Wu Jin was quite good when he grew up, but he was only 17
Years old, have you ever heard of a federal agent 17 years old?
So Xuluo gradually turned his attention to Xiangjiang.
No way.
Today's Xiangjiang is really a golden place for the Chinese film and television industry, with the most and best film talents, which even Xuluo cannot deny.
In terms of making movies and TV series with profound meaning and big scenes, Xiangjiang is not as good as the mainland, but when it comes to entertainment movies and TV series, then Xiangjiang recognizes the second, and no one in Asia dares to say that he is the first.
The good actors of the young generation among them, whether they are men or women, all appear like dumplings.
It's easy to think of the taste of a prosperous world.
But with a place as small as Xiangjiang, there is simply no room to support so much talent demand, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
Of course, isn't Xuluo just trying to find a way for them now?
Some people can go to the mainland to develop, some people can go to Mi to develop, some people can join forces with South Korea and Japan to make movies, and some people can stay in Xiangjiang. With this distribution, the crisis of overabundance of talent will be alleviated, and it will be able to create an extra world.
Speaking of the young and middle-aged actors in Xiangjiang's era, Xuluo actually likes Liang Chaowei, Andy Lau, Zhang Guorong, Miao Qiaowei and a group of others.
But this place in Mi Country is not in tune with their temperament at all.
Why?
Can you imagine a movie and TV series in which an Asian and a Mikuni woman fall in love, and it is popular with the mainstream here?
No way!
Pure this kind of love movie and TV series, one will die when it comes out.
At this stage, in addition to kung fu films, there are comedies and sci-fi thrillers that are most suitable for Chinese actors.
Noticed?
None of these are big productions.
Major productions include Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Titanic, The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean...... It is impossible to use the Chinese as the first horn.
This is the reality, and there is no way to change the current Xuluo.
So let's start from scratch, start doing it in a down-to-earth way, step by step, and one day we can successfully reverse this situation.
The corner of "X File Eucalyptus" is set at about 30 years old, and Xu Luo pondered carefully for a while, and temporarily selected three candidates.
55 years of Ren Dahua.
57 years of Yuan Biao.
58-year-old Liang Jiahui.
Ren Dahua is not playing some good roles in today's Xiangjiang movies.
But few people know that the first famous role he played was Yeluqi, an honest man who married Guo Fu, and later became the leader of the beggar gang.
Thinking of the old but steady watch repairer in "My Motherland and Me", Xuluo feels that this actor is very malleable, and he can give it a try.
The second Yuan Biao doesn't have much to say.
His action sensitivity is very suitable for "X file eucalyptus", but the disadvantage is that his kung fu movements are the same as that of his senior brother Hong Jinbao and senior brother Cheng Long, with a little comedy effect, which does not match the atmosphere of "X file eucalyptus".
The third Liang Jiahui is very suitable for the aesthetics of Westerners in terms of appearance and characteristics, and there is nothing to say about his acting skills.
The bigger plus point is that he likes the mainland very much, which meets the standards that Xuluo wants to cultivate.
His "disadvantage" is that he is about to shoot "New Dragon Gate Inn", he is the first role, and it is impossible to come to Miguo to shoot before next year.
After Xuluo took a pen and wrote down their names and characteristics, he compared them left and right, and felt as if all three were all right.
If he really can't choose, Xuluo decided to get the cloth cloth sewing monster tomorrow and discuss it with those Miguo employees, so that they can choose who is more suitable.
After all, "X File Eucalyptus" is the first to be shown to the people of Mi China.
This group of people who are strange in cloth and sewing are not necessarily outstanding, but they have one or two decades of work experience
It's not in vain, and it's certainly good to have an eye for appreciation.
