Game Development Giant

Just as everyone is vying for the second round of broadcast rights of "Pokemon", the film and television production company previously established by Jester and affiliated with Mars Entertainment has been busy recently.

In fact, during this period of time, since the filming of "Avengers" and the accumulation of some fame, the business of this film and television production company has been good, and Mars Entertainment has also shot some game-themed movies. Although the results are average, it can be regarded as a revenue and expenditure. balance.

Jester had no hope of making money from this company.

He also participated in the production of some other movies, all with small investments, with profits and losses. Jester looked through the financial statements of this film and television company that were just sent to him for this year, and found that this company was actually profitable this year. It paid more than two million US dollars, which is considered an extremely good result.

However, along with this financial statement was sent an application to invest in the production of a movie, which is also an adaptation of a game under Mars Entertainment. Some time ago, Mark Cerny took the time to complete "Avengers". 3", and it was the first game on a 16-bit substrate. Although "Avengers 3" was well-made at this time because of works like Street Fighter that dominated arcades, it still caused a certain degree of sensation. .

After all, the "Avengers" series is the first full-scroll puzzle game in history, and its reputation among fans of arcade games is almost worshipful. Moreover, the three "Avengers" series are almost all classics and can almost be regarded as the same type of games. textbook, if you have to find a game of the same type for comparison, perhaps only "Knights of the Round Table", also produced by Mars Entertainment, can compete.

Moreover, although the movie was not very beautiful at the time, it was still very good. The most important thing is that the subsequent sales of the video tape were very high. Just from the profit of the video tape, Mars Entertainment recovered all its original investment. cost. And he also made a lot of money.

Therefore, after two more years of immersion, with the official release of "Avengers 3" recently, some players and fans are calling on Mars Entertainment to immediately produce a sequel to "Avengers". It seemed that the director and screenwriter had said that the first The protagonist of the second part will be the sister of the protagonist of the first part.

The heroine in the first film is Sophie Marceau, a beautiful girl who is good at Chinese boxing.

Inviting Sophie Marceau was not difficult. Speaking of which, it took a lot of effort for Jester to propose Sophie Marceau to speak for the movie "Avengers". If Sophie Marceau hadn't tried every means to get rid of her entanglement with the film company in France, this girl who wanted to make art films would not have agreed to shoot such a commercial film.

However, it may be because this film is completely different from the French film in terms of style and shooting method that the French Rose, who is rebellious by nature, even agreed to it before abandoning it. After filming "Avengers", she went to meet the Polish The director's idea of ​​making a Category III film was completely cut off from the other party.

Although her acting skills are not outstanding, she is better because of her East-West face. Therefore, Sophie Marceau has been tepid in recent years. Relying on her appearance, she can be regarded as a relatively good vase, but the opportunity to play the heroine of a movie is still very few.

Among the first "Avengers" films, American audiences applauded the most. It can be regarded as a few advantages that finally won the relatively good box office results. Jester also concluded that it was nothing more than spending a lot of money to introduce action directors from Hong Kong. In this era, Yuan Baye was just a small role. Jester was asked to work in Hollywood almost casually, without any effort. He took the future number one martial artist in the world into his pocket.

Furthermore, the enthusiasm of fans of the game "Avengers" is unstoppable. When this movie was first released, it was because of the enthusiasm of fans that the movie even topped the box office in its first week. A very surprising dark horse at the time.

You know, the number of films scheduled for "Avengers" at that time was not very high.

In the end, it’s all about Sophie Marceau.

Later, this American hero film that blended oriental action films attracted a lot of viewers. Yuan Baye also had a good understanding of American aesthetics, so after becoming famous with this film, he received many film invitations. Life in Hollywood is also very nourishing.

If I want to start filming the second part of the "Avengers" movie, then it won't be a big problem to re-invite Sophie Marceau and Uncle Yuan.

Jester was thinking about it while writing on a piece of paper, but as he was writing, he suddenly felt that he had forgotten something. When he carefully recalled the memories of filming "Avengers", he Then he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a very important person.

The only thing in "Avengers" that has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award is Hans Season's score in this movie. This is Hans Season's first independent score. He can be regarded as a maiden. Unexpectedly He became an instant hit and was praised by many media as a rare genius. Although he did not win any awards for this, he became well-known for it and was finally invited to score the soundtrack for "The Last Emperor".

The style of the soundtrack in "The Last Emperor" was completely different from that in "Avengers", but it was still extremely talented. Then he received an invitation from the crew of "Rain Man" to independently perform this Oscar-winning masterpiece. ’s soundtrack, which eventually received an Academy Award nomination.

It can be said that Hans Jimo is no longer the down-and-out music lover he was when Jester first met, but he still needs to work hard to score a movie independently, but he still loves Jester. He has great respect. Firstly, Jester's current status is far beyond what he can match as a composer. Secondly, he is grateful to Jester for giving him the opportunity to independently score "Avengers".

In his heart, his gratitude to Jester was indescribable. He even said that without Jester, there would be no Hans. At the end of the season, if these people in Hollywood hadn't seen him in As shown in "Avengers", who would care about a down-and-out young man living in a London studio thousands of miles away from here.

And now, he, Hans, is already one of the most popular composers in Hollywood. Although he has not won any important awards, being nominated for a Golden Globe Award and two Oscar nominations is extremely difficult. What's more, his other works, which have not been nominated, are also widely praised.

If the second part of the "Avengers" movie is really shot, then Jester will naturally hope that Hans Qi will continue to provide the soundtrack, because his scoring style is indeed very similar to the theme of the movie. Moreover, there is no doubt about Hans' level at the end of the season.

However, it is no different now than before. Hans is now very busy at the end of the season. Although he will definitely not refuse the request due to his friendship with him, but it is easy for him to break the contract and cancel the scheduled schedule. Jester was still unwilling to do it.

Therefore, in order to confirm this matter, Jester directly called Hans Ji Mo.

And Hans. At the end of the season, when he just heard Jester asking him if he had any schedule in about half a year, he guessed that there must be something that needed music and he needed his help, and he was so kind by nature that he didn't say anything. Let me just say that he has no schedule during this period and can take time out at any time.

At that time, Hans Ji Mo was answering the phone in his studio. He was rushing to complete the soundtrack work for a movie that was about to be due. Before, Hans Ji Mo was yelling at his subordinates that you are working too hard. It was slow, but now the way I talk to the phone has completely changed.

After talking for a few more minutes and hanging up the phone, one of Hans Season's assistants came forward with some confusion: "Boss, we have a lot of work in the first half of next year, and we also have director Bruce Beresford. "Driving Miss Daisy" is a soundtrack job that you worked hard to get, and it is very likely to win an Oscar!"

Hearing his assistant say this, Hans Ji Mo also showed a hesitant look on his face. He really had a hard time getting the soundtrack work for the movie "Driving Miss Daisy", and he was in trouble. If you reject the relationships and connections that you have worked so hard to accumulate over the years for no reason, then all these years of hard work will be almost in vain.

But he didn't want to break his promise when he promised Jester. He frowned and thought about it for more than ten minutes before finally exhaling, turning to his assistant and saying: "In the first half of the year, apart from "Driving Miss Daisy" All film contracts other than "" will be cancelled, if..."

Moving his lips and sliding them to his mouth, Hans Ji Mo still seemed to be hesitating. In the eager eyes of his assistant, Hans Ji Mo still expressed his decision.

"If it conflicts with Mr. Jester Lee's job, then even "Driving Miss Daisy" will be turned down!" After saying this, Hans Jimo seemed to have removed his Fudan's whole body, although a little regretful, has become extremely relaxed.

After all, it was his dream to win an Oscar, and he felt that the film directed by Bruce was very promising, and the one that Mr. Jester Lee asked him to score would definitely not be the kind of film that would win an award.

After Jester got Hans Ji Mo's reply, although he was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything. It was absolutely impossible for him to believe that Hans Ji Mo, one of the hottest composers in Hollywood, would have such success in the next six months. So much free time.

I can only inquire about it myself and then give him some compensation. (To be continued...)
