The next Twilight series?
Many zeros appeared in Zhang Ziyi’s mind.
The unit after the zero is Daole.
The reason why Hollywood is so awesome is not only because they can distribute movies all over the world to make box office money, but also because they can make derivative income beyond the box office.
Take Harry Potter produced by Warner as an example.
The total global box office of the eight movies is 7.9 billion US dollars.
But the IP value of the entire series is as high as 25 billion US dollars!!
The theme park hatched by the movie, as well as the related derivative industries such as food, clothing, toys, and tourism – more than double the box office income!!
The IP value of Twilight is definitely not comparable to Harry Potter.
But what?
Six or seven billion US dollars is worth it!!
If the series of novels in Su Cheng’s hands are compared with Twilight….
Zhang Ziyi didn’t dare to think further.
She was afraid that she was thinking too much.
She would not be able to help but put a green hat on Teacher Sa.
Zhang Ziyi suppressed the shock in her heart and asked:”So you Hollywood companies are all here for the film and television adaptation rights in Director Su’s hands?”
Ma Yerus said:”I’m not sure why others are here, but I am here for this.”
In January of this year.
Lionsgate Films completed the acquisition of Summit Entertainment.
In other words
《The subsequent copyright of”Twilight” was transferred to Lionsgate Films.
In addition
《The fourth part of”Twilight” has been filmed and will be released in two parts.
The release date is set for the second half of this year.
It is precisely because the Twilight series is about to end.
Lionsgate is eager to develop new movie IPs.
And their company has gone through rounds of analysis.
They think that”The Hunger Games” in Su Cheng’s hands has the greatest potential to be a hit!!
This is also the reason why Mayerus flew all the way from the United States.
Zhang Ziyi couldn’t help it,”Can you tell me, which novel makes you pay so much attention to it?”
Mayerus did not hide it,”The Hunger Games” ranked in the top three of the bestsellers in our United States and some countries in Australia last year.”
Zhang Ziyi was puzzled and said,”Novels that can be in the top three of the bestsellers are considered hits, right? How come the film and television copyrights are in the hands of Director Su?”
Are Americans stupid?
Don’t they know how to grab the copyrights of hits?
Mayerus was also a little puzzled,”In the second half of 2010, the first part of”The Hunger Games” showed a best-selling trend, and we Lionsgate contacted the original author Susan Collins.”
“But she was told that when the novel was first published in 2009, Su Cheng bought the film and television adaptation rights for US$6 million.”
“Susan admitted that she had never thought that”The Hunger Games” would become a hit. With 6 million US dollars in front of her, she sold the copyright of the trilogy without a second thought.”
6 million US dollars.
It is not a small amount in any country.
At that time, Susan Collins had not become a best-selling author, but an ordinary housewife who liked fantasy and writing.
Faced with Su Cheng’s 6 million dollars, she had no reason to refuse!!
Zhang Ziyi opened her mouth in surprise.
Is it a coincidence?
Or did Su Cheng determine in advance that”The Hunger Games” would become a hit?!
Mayrus sighed:”Su Cheng is a lucky oriental man favored by God. We Lionsgate are willing to pay 16 million US dollars to purchase the film and television copyright of the Hunger Games trilogy. He can make 10 million US dollars.”
If it were Zhang Ziyi, she would definitely choose to make this 10 million US dollars.
But Su Cheng…..
Zhang Ziyi reminded him,”Director Su is very rich.”
Mayerus nodded,”I know.”
Zhang Ziyi felt that he didn’t understand her subtext, and said,”Director Su is not ordinary rich. He probably won’t take 16 million US dollars seriously.”
Mayerus said,”He doesn’t need to do anything, but he can earn tens of millions of Chinese yuan.”
10 million US dollars.
According to the current exchange rate.
It is more than 60 million Chinese yuan!!
Mayerus thought that Su Cheng was the same as Susan at the beginning, and there was no reason to refuse.
Zhang Ziyi was too lazy to say anything. The arrogant Americans didn’t understand the money ability of the genius director at all!!
Are tens of millions a lot?
《Lucy” is a movie.
Su Cheng is estimated to make 200 million…..
While Zhang Ziyi was communicating with the vice president of Lionsgate,
Su Cheng also communicated with people from Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Columbia Pictures.
Da Mimi listened to Su Cheng’s chattering with several foreigners.
She was so anxious that she scratched her head.
I obviously passed the CET-4.
Why can’t I understand a word?!
And Su Cheng’s English accent.
How come it is exactly the same as in American TV series?!
He has never studied in the United States!!
After a while, several foreigners were taken upstairs by the receptionist.
Da Mimi couldn’t wait to ask,”Who are they? Why did they come to see you~?”
Su Cheng briefly introduced the identities of several people, and then answered Da Mimi’s second question,”They are all here for the copyright of a series of novels in my hand.”
Da Mimi was surprised,”You can also write novels?”
Su Cheng shook his head,”I can’t write, but I can buy them with money.”
Da Mimi was curious,”What kind of novel is so powerful? Even Hollywood wants to compete for the copyright?”
Su Cheng asked back,”Have you seen”Twilight”?!”
Da Mimi nodded,”Vampires vs. werewolves, a very clichéd love movie, it’s quite good without thinking.”
《The reason why”Twilight” can sell well is not because it is so good.
But it captures a precise audience.
It is a bit similar to the later Tiny Times series.
The movie is shot as good as shit.
It still does not affect the box office sales.
Su Cheng said:”The novel I got the copyright for is called”The Hunger Games”. Like the original novel of”Twilight”, it is also a best-selling novel in the European and American markets.”
Da Mimi understood,”So these people in Hollywood think that”The Hunger Games” can also be adapted into a movie? They want to buy the copyright from you?!”
Su Cheng snapped his fingers,”Smart.”
Da Mimi became excited,”It’s a best-selling book in Europe and America, the copyright should be very valuable, right?!”
“Columbia Pictures offered the highest bid of $15 million.”
“knife?”
“right”
“How much did you spend on the copyright?”
“$6 million”
“Can only make 9 million dollars? Not high at all.”
Sister Mi was very arrogant.
Su Cheng laughed,”It’s not high, so I didn’t agree.”
Big Mimi pretended to be cool, but quickly returned to reality,”Will they raise the price?”
Su Cheng thought for a while and said,”It’s very likely that a bunch of foreigners will think that I have never seen the world. They showed me the Hollywood sign and I have to obey them. They also said that they can arrange a few roles for Chinese stars who have a good relationship with me, and they are just getting rid of beggars. Do I care?”
Big Mimi said eagerly,”I care. It’s a Hollywood blockbuster. Why don’t you obey them for my sake?”
“Get lost”
“I won’t leave. I will stick with you forever.~~”
Da Mimi smiled and said,”How much money are you prepared to sell the copyright?”
Su Cheng asked,”Why should I sell it?”
Da Mimi was stunned at first, and then her beautiful eyes lit up,”Oh, that’s right, you are the director, you can shoot it yourself!”
“Good brother, please change the heroine into a Chinese, I can do it!”
“If it really doesn’t work, we can change it to a banana man. It’s reasonable for a Chinese beauty like me to play a Chinese American, right?!”
Da Mimi said, flirting and posing like an international lady.
Su Cheng said with a smile,”Wouldn’t it be more reasonable for me to find a serious Chinese American to play the role?”
Da Mimi’s face changed in a second,”Are you looking for Liu Yifei, the banana man?!”
Su Cheng:”……”
Da Mimi said sadly:”I guessed it right, right? Well, she is indeed the most special woman in your heart.~”
“Don’t imagine it yourself.”
Su Cheng pinched her face.
Da Mimi felt pain,”Su Cheng, you are going to die, your face is swollen!!”
Su Cheng said seriously,”This kind of movie adapted from a popular novel is a fan-oriented movie, and drastic changes are the most taboo. So in order to avoid mistakes, if you shoot it, it is best to follow the original for the main characters and story line.”
Da Mimi’s eyes widened,”Are you really going to shoot it yourself?”
“Is it not possible?”
“”Okay, but if you go to Hollywood, what should I do?”
Big Mimi never doubted Su Cheng’s talent.
She also believed that even if he went to Hollywood, he could still become a famous director!
Wu Yusen was able to do well in Hollywood back then.
There is no reason why our dog man can’t do it!
But here comes the problem –
Hollywood’s big foreign horses are fierce, big buttocks and good skills.
Will the dog man not want to return home after playing?!
Sister Mi fell into deep worry…….
“Don’t think too much, even if I go to Hollywood, I will not give up my career in China.” Su Cheng saw her worry.
Da Mimi pouted and said,”I don’t believe you. Hollywood is full of decadence and beauty. Haven’t you wanted to ride a foreign horse for a long time?”
“It’s okay to ride occasionally, but���You will definitely get bored riding a cow.”
Su Cheng pinched her little hand and said with a wicked smile:”I still prefer riding a native little cow.”
“Who are you calling a little cow?”
Da Mimi held her head high.
She is very sensitive to small words. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Su Cheng tactfully changed the topic,”Big cow is ok, right?”
“That’s more like it~”
Da Mimi returned to her seriousness,”So what do you think? Are you waiting for a good price, or are you going to use the novel in your hand as a springboard to try to challenge Hollywood?”
Su Cheng did not give a definite answer,”Let’s see the sincerity of several Hollywood companies first.”
Regardless of whether he personally directs it or not
, it is impossible to get the film and television copyright from Su Cheng for more than 10 million US dollars.
The previous life’s”Hunger Games” series of movies had a total box office of 3 billion US dollars, which is not inferior to the”Twilight” series.
Such a cash cow.
Now that Su Cheng has it, he will not give it up easily!
He must have a piece of the meat anyway!!
Da Mimi didn’t remember until then,”You have also hoarded a lot of novel copyrights in China, right?”
Su Cheng nodded.
Da Mimi wondered:”Why did you think of buying the copyright of American novels? And you bought a hit from so many American novels!!”
——Because I’m a time traveler!!
Su Cheng smiled faintly,”Don’t ask, if you ask, I’ll just be a wise man.”
Da Mimi:”……”
After a while,
Zhang Ziyi led Lionsgate Vice President Ma Yelus over.
In order to show that she and Su Cheng were”good friends”,”[]
International Zhang came up directly.
Seeing this, Da Mimi gritted her teeth.
A dares to steal my man.
Doesn’t he know that I’m a D-level strongman?!
Da Mimi looked at Su Cheng with some resentment. The dog man was very stingy and didn’t allow her to dress too coquettishly in public.
Otherwise.
Wear a deep V dress today.
The big secret is revealed!!
The custodian Zhang Ziyi will feel inferior after seeing it!!
Su Cheng didn’t expose Zhang Ziyi’s”performance”.
While pretending to be good friends with her.
At the same time, he casually perfunctorily talked to Mayerus.
After chatting for a few words, he found that this black guy didn’t know much.
Su Cheng became impatient,”If this is the sincerity of your Lionsgate Films, you can go back to your country.”
“Don’t tell me I can make $10 million without doing anything.”
“I made a lot of money lying down!!”
“A mere 10 million dollars, I don’t even look at it!!”
Majerus was spitted on the face and went upstairs angrily.
Su Cheng saw that he did not leave in anger.
He immediately understood that the offer of 16 million dollars was not his bottom line. The damn black guy is smart!!
Zhang Ziyi smiled and comforted:”Director Su, don’t be angry, we are talking about business, and harmony brings wealth.”
Su Cheng glanced at her,”The premise of harmony bringing wealth is that he knows the limits. I have hinted to him so clearly, but he still talks about 16 million US dollars. Do you think I have never seen money?!”
“I offer you 160,000 yuan to act in a movie, will you do it?!”
Su Cheng said this to mean that
Lionsgate’s offer was too low.
Zhang Ziyi nodded upon hearing this,”If it’s your movie, Director Su, let alone 160,000 yuan, I’ll act in it even if I’m paid 16,000 yuan!”
Su Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Ziyi didn’t shy away from Da Mimi’s presence at all, her eyes were drawn and full of charm,”Is there a role suitable for me in Director Su’s new movie? The pay doesn’t matter, I just want to work with Director Su.”
Da Mimi: What a shame!
How dare an old woman steal my boyfriend in front of me! Su Cheng said lightly,”The next movie will be a male-led movie.”
Zhang Ziyi didn’t expect to get what she wanted, but she wasn’t disappointed either. She smiled and said,”If there’s a role suitable for me in the future, Director Su must give me a chance”
“”Okay, okay~”
After sending Zhang Ziyi away,
Cheng Long came over to chat again.
After a few words,
Cheng Long knew that Su Cheng was very busy. He tactfully led his female companion upstairs.
He is currently preparing to shoot the 101st movie in his career.
The production company is Huayi Brothers.
So the female companion he brought with him is also Yao Xingtong, an artist under Huayi.
Yao Xingtong couldn’t help but be curious,”There are so many people from Hollywood companies here today. Is Director Su going to cooperate with Hollywood?”
Cheng Long knew at a glance that this girl wanted to hook up with Su Cheng.
It was normal.
When he was young, there were also many girls who wanted to hook up with him.
If it weren’t for the fact that he played too hard when he was young and his waist was not in good condition, his big brother (Li Haozhao) would still be playing now.
“possible…..”
Cheng Long said casually, and saw Wang Zhonglei chatting with Huang Xiaoming not far away, and hurried over.
Wang Zhonglei was chatting with Huang Xiaoming.
It was also speculation about someone coming from Hollywood.
Seeing Cheng Long coming over, he immediately asked him,”Brother, do you know any inside information?”
Cheng Long shook his head.
He waved to Zhang Ziyi who was not far away.
Cheng Long has countless scandals in his life.
Zhang Ziyi is one of them.
Back then, Ziyi received grape seeds with her bare hands.
She was also teased by Zhou Runfa at the awards ceremony.
He dared not refuse to sell his face to his brother.
Zhang Ziyi walked over quickly.
Cheng Long asked straight to the point:”I saw you talked to the vice president of Lionsgate for a long time. Did you find out why he came here with the heads of those Hollywood companies?”
Zhang Ziyi nodded.
He repeated the purpose of Mayerus’s visit.
Several people did not expect this to be the reason.
They were stunned…….
Wang Zhonglei speculated:”Why did Su Cheng buy the copyright of Ou Mei’s novel? Could it be that he has been preparing to enter Hollywood for a long time?”
“It is possible.
Cheng Long analyzed:”From the ending Easter egg of”Lucy”, we can see that Su Cheng acts after planning and is very ambitious.”
If he didn’t have ambition, he wouldn’t dare to plan a sequel to the first movie.
And it’s a four-part series.
Cheng Long pondered and said:”Having said that, Su Cheng’s shooting style is indeed very suitable for Hollywood. If the movie”Lucy” is replaced by a white actress, it will be popular in the global market.”
The eldest brother is a”real international style” who has left a name in Hollywood.
He made such a judgment.
Several people present immediately believed it….
Wang Zhonglei was thinking that Su Cheng was becoming too powerful so quickly that Huayi had no chance to win him over.
Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Ziyi were thinking that if another big director emerged from China and made it to Hollywood, Chinese actors like them would have a better chance of making it.���Hollywood.
After all, it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the government!!
Yang Ying, who played a little transparent role throughout the whole process
, had the simplest idea:
I really want to sleep with Director Su!.
