Another World Under My Pen

Patience is actually not lacking in Sun Peng.

When he was a doctor in his previous life, whether he was on the operating table or in the ward, whether he was dealing with patients or family members, being patient was definitely one of Sun Peng's greatest strengths.

Only this time, he didn't have the patience to wait any longer.

In other words, he felt upset.

Perhaps Chen Cheng and the others are right. A movie, especially the preparatory work for a large production, is very cumbersome, such as the communication between the director and the screenwriter, the numerous revisions of the script, the audition of the actors, etc. , It takes a lot of time. Take this "The Matrix" as an example. The Wachowski brothers hired two cartoonists to produce a six-hundred-page, detailed "The Matrix" sub-shot, which is simply a full-length comic. Only then successfully persuaded the senior executives of the filmmakers to nod their capital, and finally let the film start shooting proudly.

But such a process is not what Sun Peng wants, and Sun Peng is not comparable to the Wachowski brothers.

Without him, the status is different.

Before filming "The Matrix," the Wachowski brothers weren't any big shots in Hollywood, and it was of course very difficult to prepare a science fiction blockbuster.

But what about Sun Peng now?

Five TV series came out. Except for "Crazy Lady" and "Lonely Foodie", which are web series, which of the other three is not a boutique, the top five masterpieces in annual ratings? Needless to say, the two animations in the movie are enough for "Hurricane Rescue" and "Bourne's Identity", not to mention the box office scores of "Mission Impossible" and "Keep Talking". Not a bad work! Of course, if you count it seriously, there are also "Longmen Inn" and "Sixth Sense" which was not released...

After you come up with a very well-developed script, the film has to negotiate and prepare for a year or two?

So don't say that Sun Peng is impatient, but really upset!

So no matter how Chen Cheng explained, how persuaded, or even moved Chen Feifei over and over again, Sun Peng’s faint expression never changed at all. He just left a sentence for the great director: "Director Chen, this one. It is impossible to change things. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate again!"

An hour later, Chen Cheng finally left angrily.

Looking at Chen Cheng's angry back, Sun Peng also shook his head speechless. Speaking of appreciation, he really appreciates this science fiction film director. After all, it is not easy for China to produce such a character with ideas and capabilities. But on the other hand, he really can’t wait patiently-if a movie like The Matrix is ​​really done, preparation, character selection, shooting, special effects production and promotion, etc., don’t even think about it for a year or two. If it takes him one or two years to negotiate and raise funds, Sun Peng might as well just stop doing it!

So after a light sigh, Sun Peng called Sun Ya directly: "Second sister, how's your talk going? Tomorrow is the last day..."

...

Los Angeles, USA.

Sitting in the conference room of Shakelu Film Company, Sun Ya's face was calm, and the aura of a strong woman was fully revealed.

And in front of him, Richard? Feynman and Charles, the president of Shacolu Pictures? George couldn't calm down. Mr. George widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Ms. Sun, what you meant just now... If we don't accept these conditions, Mr. Laobai will invest in this movie himself in full?"

"Yes, gentlemen!"

After looking at the two of them, Sun Ya proudly said: "It's just a production cost of 100 million U.S. dollars. The box office achievements of "Spirited Away: The Hidden Spirit" are enough to cover the funds. As for the subsequent publicity costs , I think there should be no problem with the dividends of "Frozen", so it is so!"

"Hi..."

After listening to Sun Ya's remarks, the two big movie stars took a breath at the same time.

Boy, this is too bold, right?

You must know that in addition to those IPs that know that they will definitely make money, even the Hollywood film and television giants may not dare to invest in large productions with more than 100 million investments and take risks independently, right? What's more, like this Mr. Laobai, they are also very clear now that they have no distribution ability at all, which means that the box office income requirements for future movies will be higher...

Why is he so confident?

"It's very simple, because he has never failed!"

As if guessing that they had the same mind, Sun Ya smiled and said, "We have talked for so many days, I think you should have checked his information? Then tell me gentlemen, has he failed? "

"..."

Regarding Sun Ya's question, the two only looked at each other.

failure?

For that man, the word never seemed to exist, and they couldn't be more clear about this.

but……

See Richard? After Feynman's glance, Charles? George finally understood the embarrassment of this old friend-this negotiating opponent didn't play cards according to the routine at all!

However, after pondering for a while, he still said: "Miss Sun, we are all clear about what you said. Then there is a question. If Shakolu Films is willing to join in, who will be the leader of this project? After all, we There are quite a few differences in the selection of directors and actors! There is also the issue of copyright. What about the ownership of film copyright and sequel copyright in the future?"

"Hehe, this is what we are going to talk about."

With a gleam in her eyes, Sun Ya said calmly: "In fact, in the final analysis, they all come down to one of the most important issues, and that is devotion! Whoever invests more will naturally speak louder. ..."

...

"Director Chen, it's not that we won't help you, it's really too risky!"

Looking at Chen Cheng with an angry face, Lu Yuanqing said with a wry smile: "The production cost of 6,000 or 700 million plus the cost of publicity and distribution will cost at least 1 billion! Do you know what this number means?"

Without waiting for Chen Cheng to speak, Lu Yuanqing went on to say: "You are the best sci-fi film director in China. I think you know this better than us? "Eyes of Heaven" is excellent, but who can guarantee that this one can also Get such a high box office? Can you guarantee it?"

"This……"

Chen Cheng also fell silent for Lu Yuanqing's doubts.

"Eyes of Heaven" is Chen Cheng's most successful work, and it is also the highest-grossing work. But what if you watch the movie aside? The highest grossing box office in his past science fiction films was only 1.2 billion, plus the overseas box office was less than 1.6 billion, and this is already the highest record of Chinese science fiction films.

How big is the risk with a billion investment?

Seeing Chen Cheng's silence, Lu Yuanqing couldn't help flashing a smug look in his eyes, but he couldn't see it at all. He just continued to patiently say: "Director Chen, think about it for yourself, Huaxia science fiction film investment 100 million US dollars, is this possible? ?"

In Lu Yuanqing's eyes, this is completely nonsense!

If he believes that 100 million U.S. dollars invested in that kind of ancient costume giants, even if the momentum has fallen in the past two years and losses have begun to appear, there is no doubt that Huaxia costume films are still the focus of big investment! And as many big companies in China started to try, magic films derived from blockbuster costumes have also become hotspots, and there is a tendency to take over the standard bearer of historical blockbusters...

But science fiction movies are never what Huaxia people are good at, OK?

After listening to Lu Yuanqing's words, Chen Cheng immediately said anxiously: "Mr. Lu, I really like the story of The Matrix. I have a hunch that it may be an opportunity for our Chinese film to go out..."

"Hehe, how can it be so easy?"

Lu Yuanqing chuckled softly, and said with a smile, "But the script is really interesting...Well, I think you can continue to communicate with the teacher Lao Bai, and try to get him to lower the shooting budget! Well, I think A total investment of four to five billion is almost the same. After all, it is a science fiction movie of China. Can some high-cost big scenes be reduced! In fact, I think that old white is just holding you! I think you have liked him That’s why he made such a condition because of his script, otherwise we will cost him another time..."

"It's a waste?"

Seeing that he couldn't convince the investor behind him, Chen Cheng couldn't help but sighed and said: "Mr. Lu, if you go to meet the old teacher with me, you will know. I'm afraid I don't want to waste. Go down..."
