454, a new big copyright owner, co-production plan? I admire you as a man when I ride a horse! Isn't it possible?
Whether it is Meiyu or China Entertainment, all kinds of inside information spread very quickly, and there are almost no secrets that can last until an hour after being exposed.
So when Walton Pictures held a press conference and announced the acquisitions of DreamWorks Animation and Lucasfilm, the news quickly spread around the world!
For a while, the front pages and headlines of the major mainstream media were strongly occupied!
"Hot news: Volton Pictures spent $7.45 billion to acquire two old independent production companies, DreamWorks Animation and Lucasfilm, and the commercial territory has expanded again."
At the press conference, director Chen Fei announced that he would cooperate with the two companies to successively launch the production and copyright development of works such as "Pacific Rim", "Interstellar", "Kung Fu Panda 3", "How to Train Your Dragon 2", "Invincible Destruction King", "Frozen" and other works.
"Hollywood's new seven major patterns have been laid, and Walton Pictures has successfully laid the foundation in Hollywood!"
"The total box office results of North America in 2010 have been announced, and according to statistics, Walton Pictures once again won the first place, and has been ranked No. 1 for three consecutive years!"
"It is reported that "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" have been attributed to Walton Pictures, and many subsidiaries of Lucasfilm are also owned by Walton Pictures, including Industrial Light & Magic, Skywalker Sound, Lucas Art Co., Ltd., ......"
"The era of division is coming again, a monopoly Pixar animation studio is once again facing rivals, DreamWorks Animation and Volton Pictures, a number of animated film masterpieces are about to debut!"
“……”
For a time, Hollywood was completely shaken, and the six major ones discussed the acquisition of Walton Pictures and made various targeted countermeasures.
No one thought that this independent production company, which was unknown at the beginning, would burst out with such terrifying power!
Following the acquisition of Marvel, it has successively helped many production companies such as DreamWorks Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, and Lucasfilm to the chariot.
For a time, Walton Pictures has also become a "big copyright owner" that can easily compete with the Big Six!
And what's even more terrifying is that they also have streaming media and very mature publicity channels, which are not at all the existence that other companies can handle at will.
As for the official background......
The word "Volton" is enough to attract everyone's attention, plus the Morgan consortium behind Chen Fei and the support from the White House......
It is no exaggeration to say that the foundation of Walton Pictures is very stable!
If you want to suppress it, you can only snipe strongly from the company's revenue, that is, the box office of the movie.
But can they snipe?
Walton Pictures has been No. 1 at the North American box office for three consecutive years, and even though Warner Bros. has launched a masterpiece like "Avatar", it still hasn't done it.
From this, it can be seen that there is nothing they can do at all!
Disney's current CEO, Dick Cook, frowned as he looked at the report on the news page.
After a long time, he looked up at John Lasseter, the head of Pixar Animation Studio, in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "We have to admit that Walton Pictures has officially become a hunter who can cut steaks from the steak that can be slaughtered on the table!" ”
"What are we going to do?" John Lasseter asked curiously.
"Disney will be launching the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series this year, and you guys have to keep up with it and not fall too far behind."
"You don't have to worry about this." John Lasseter smiled confidently, "We're going to reboot Project Snow White and beat it with a classic!" ”
In addition to Disney, the other five natures will not be willing to lag behind.
"Rio Adventure", "Fast and Furious 5", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", "Cars 2", "The Smurfs", "Puss in Boots", "Mission Impossible 4, Ghost Protocol", "Rat Treasure 3" and many other works are already menacing!
Some of them are even DreamWorks Animation, but they have already signed a distribution contract with Paramount, so they have to distribute them on their behalf.
Of course, Walton Pictures will not be cowardly!
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes 3: Endgame", "Transformers 3", "The Avengers" and many other masterpieces are also sharpening their knives and are ready to go.
At the same time, Old Man Woody Allen had already given Chen Fei a reply.
"Let Me Embrace Happiness" will be adapted into a screenplay and directed and filmed by Mr. Woody.
Chen Fei gave this script a very meaningful name, called: "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds".
Han Sanping's phone called again......
"Congratulations! The value has risen again! ”
The wind in the stock market is changing very fast, with the increasing box office of "The Hunger Games", coupled with the successful acquisition of DreamWorks Animation and Lucasfilm by Walton Pictures, Chen Fei's worth has soared all the way to 6 billion dollars, which is faster than riding a rocket.
"Haha, congratulations to Han Dong for exceeding the task."
The total box office data for 2010 has been released, with a total of 13.8 billion yuan.
This achievement has far exceeded Han Sanping's expectations, and it is obvious that his year-end bonus will definitely not be able to run, and the position of chairman of China Film can naturally be more stable.
But at this time, Han Sanping suddenly sighed, "Alas, in fact, too much excess is also a headache!" ”
"Oh? How so? Chen Fei was a little puzzled.
"The General Administration has set a new target, and the total box office in the mainland this year shall not be less than 16 billion, and it is required that the proportion of the box office of imported films shall not be higher than 60%."
"What percentage was last year?"
“70%!”
"Shhh Are mainland movies beaten so badly? ”
Chen Fei gasped, but quickly reacted again, this thing didn't seem to have much to do with him, and the bureau didn't give him a task.
And...... He seems to be the most ruthless "abuser", and last year's Hollywood blockbusters produced by Walton Pictures occupied a large number!
"Iron Man 2", "Superbody", "Thor", "Captain Rice", "Twilight 4", "Twilight 5" ......
can't be calculated, if this is counted, Han Sanping is probably also the "abuser".
The proportion of imported films in the box office is so high, it is inseparable from him and Chen Fei's "dark box operation", who made China Film also make a lot of money in it.
"This year should be better, right? The known ones include "Gravity", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "Longmen Flying Armor", "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", "Painted Skin 2", "Warring States", "Painting Wall", "Hongmen Banquet", ...... These movies are big investments! ”
Chen Fei is like a treasure, and he pulled out all the Chinese movies that he knew would be released this year.
However, Han Sanping followed up and said: "This year's known introduction films will be "Transformers 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", "Fast and Furious 5", "The Hunger Games", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 3", "The Avengers" and so on!
Come, tell me, in the face of these Hollywood blockbusters with an investment of at least $100 million, how can mainland movies be played? ”
“……”
Chen Fei was speechless.
No matter how you look at it, these blockbusters in the mainland do not seem to be the opponents of Hollywood blockbusters.
"I can't help it, the mainland film market is like this, how can you become a fat man in one go? The gap with Hollywood blockbusters is already big, and it will take time to catch up! ”
In fact, if you want to make another leap in the total box office, you only need to pull Internet companies into the game.
But at this stage, the Internet giants can't look down on the tens of billions at all, and they still need more time and a higher box office to bring in these Pixiu who have a lot of money!
But at this moment, Han Sanping suddenly came up with a new idea, "Why don't we make a serious co-production?"
I read a news report that you took out six scripts at once, and two of them are big-budget sci-fi blockbusters, which happens to be a very scarce resource in China.
You should do me a favor and lighten my burden, and I will naturally give you full support and escort you......"
Hearing this, Chen Fei's heart moved slightly.
That's a good idea!
Co-production with China Film to let mainland capital go deeper into Hollywood, not only can make your development in the mainland more stable, but also attract more allies and stabilize your backers......
Money is an endless thing, and he is not short of money now, expanding his influence and consolidating his position is the most important thing.
What's more, his previous goal was to drive the mainland film and television industry into a period of rapid and vigorous development, and doing co-productions is naturally a way to "drive".
After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei said: "That's it, after I finish filming "The Avengers" here, let's go back and study it carefully, how about it?" ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll wait for you."
The corners of Han Sanping's mouth raised slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
After hanging up the phone, he was not idle, and after pondering for a while, he opened the address book and found a phone.
"Hello? Chief Zhao? It's me! Sanping ......"
The filming of "Wolf Warrior" is more complicated, because a lot of military weapons are used during the filming, so it naturally needs the help of a certain military region to back it up.
Chen Fei's connections have not yet reached that point, so he handed over the task to Han Sanping, who is also an investor.
With the help of the background of China Film, he can help contact places like the Space Bureau, so it shouldn't be a problem to contact a certain military region, right?
Chen Fei trusts Han Sanping very much and believes that he will not live up to this trust.
……
The holiday is over, and filming continues for "The Avengers".
"Let the Bullets Fly" is really popular, and the fire is a mess!
was released for more than half a month, which directly transformed Jiang Wen from a literary film director to a commercial film director.
300,000,000 ...... 400,000,000,00......0 500 million ...... 600,000,000 ......
The box office of the movie has soared, and Jiang Wen has naturally become a member of the domestic box office club of 100 million yuan, and is even expected to become the second commercial director after Chen Fei.
The total box office of "The Great Earthquake" is 690 million, as long as "Let the Bullets Fly" can surpass this achievement, then Jiang Wen will be No.2!
According to the analysis of industry professionals, as long as the current box office growth trend is maintained, it is very likely to be done.
On the other hand, "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2", although the total box office has also skyrocketed to 400 million, it has shown a great decline.
The daily box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" is still more than 10 million, but "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" has dropped to 6 million, according to the current trend, it is already very good to climb to 500 million.
Feng Xiaogang obviously failed, but compared to Brother Chen Kai, he won in a mess!
~
"Riding a horse, I can see it, this group of people is really realistic, "The Sun Also Rises" pounced and hid far away one by one, and now "Let the Bullets Fly" is on fire, and they all come up one by one......"
"Haha, isn't that what this circle is?"
Jiang Wen would always call Chen Fei during this time, sometimes excitedly telling him how good the box office results were, sometimes angrily scolding those old guys for being unreasonable, and sometimes complaining about the bad things in the circle......
Chen Fei still likes to chat with him, not only because of his frequent golden sentences, but also because of his straightforward personality.
"What? Is the new script eyebrow-raising? ”
"Well, I do have an idea."
"Oh?" Chen Fei suddenly became interested, "Tell me about it?" ”
Jiang Wen thought about it and said: "I have been watching the "Yan Ruisheng Case" recently, which is a story of the background of the Republic of China, which tells the story of the Manchu widow "Ma Walk Day" who used the beauty pageant to make money, but was identified as a murderer because of the death of the beauty pageant champion......
"Okay!"
Chen Fei was immediately happy, it turned out to be the second part of the Beiyang trilogy "One Step Away"!
Jiang Wen is going to become a great godfather!
As soon as he thought of this film, Chen Fei's mind suddenly popped up the conversation between Shu Qi and Jiang Wen.
Shu Qi: "Have you ever told anyone in your life that I love you?" ”
Jiang Wen: "I said it, many times, with different people." ”
Shu Qi: "I haven't heard of it. ”
Jiang Wen: "Baby, l love you......"
“……”
After all, Shu Qi still couldn't wait for the sentence "I love Ling" on the day of Ma Gori.
The obscurity of this movie has stumped a lot of people!
At the end of the conversation, Chen Fei took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything I can help you with?" ”
Jiang Wen did not shy away from his thoughts, "Special effects, I want to add special effects to this movie!" ”
"Okay, no problem, you want investment, you want special effects, whatever you want, I'll help you!"
Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly threw out a question, "Actually, I'm quite puzzled, why are you willing to help me?" Aren't you afraid of losing money? And help me slap those old guys before, aren't you afraid of being affected? ”
"Hahaha!"
Chen Fei suddenly laughed, laughing loudly, "Why do you want to step on a horse?" I just stepped on a horse to admire you, and I wanted to support you, is this reason okay? ”
"Brother, don't say anything, I'll step on the horse to thank you, when will you come back, my old Jiang is the east, let's not get drunk and don't return!"
"Okay, then it's decided!"
……
