Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 871 Which one should we shoot first? (1/2)
The reporters were immediately in an uproar. Some people thought that Liu Qingshan was speaking arrogantly.
The other part was impressed by Liu Qingshan's strong self-confidence.
But no matter what they thought, the reporters were very excited: after such news spread, it would definitely cause waves.
Maybe there is an oil tycoon who doesn't like Liu Qingshan and jumps out to fight. In that case, there will be a good show.
You know, there are quite a few oil tycoons here in the United States. It is estimated that those big families and big companies would not like anyone to come to their territory and act arrogantly.
When gods fight, the media will naturally follow suit.
In this way, under the guidance of Liu Qingshan, intentionally or unintentionally, the reporters were collectively led astray, and everyone went back to editing news happily.
Liu Qingshan then entered Hurricane Video and was warmly welcomed by the employees.
Every time a movie is successful, employees will also receive bonuses.
Today's Hurricane Video is no longer just two or three big cats and kittens. It now has more than 200 employees and is considered a medium-sized film and television company.
However, Liu Qingshan knew that there was still a lack of several big directors to take charge.
Nowadays, Hurricane Company makes films by negotiating with directors on a temporary basis and then signing a cooperation agreement.
The top film and television companies in Hollywood have their own dedicated directors, such as Universal's director Si.
In the company's conference room, the heads of various departments were gathered together.
Chambers first introduced the success of the hacker with a cheerful face, and received enthusiastic applause from the employees.
But the more important thing about this meeting is to arrange the company's next movie and strive to release it during the Christmas period.
Hurricane now has some confidence and dares to compete with those big companies for Christmas slots.
The director of the marketing department was the first to speak: "I think we should plan to film the third part of Home Alone. This subject is most suitable for the Christmas holiday, and the whole family can watch comedy movies together."
Many people also nodded, this is indeed a good choice.
Chambers frowned slightly: "If there is one film a year, will the audience suffer from visual fatigue?"
Although the IP of Home Alone is definitely profitable, it cannot be caught and peeed out.
Perhaps after two or three years, the audience's expectations will be stronger.
Here in Hollywood, this has always been the case: for a good subject, it will be repeated over and over again, prequels, postquels, sequels, etc., and it will never stop until it fails.
This is why a big IP is so valuable.
Just like the current Hurricane Video, if the assets are worth 10 million, then if the company is sold, it will be worth at least several hundred million.
Because what they acquired was not junk like assets, but the copyrights to films such as Home Alone and The Matrix.
Once you have the copyright, you can continue filming.
Chambers's worry is obviously justified. Facts have proved that if the density of a subject is too high, the box office will suffer a serious decline.
"Then let's continue to take advantage of the popularity of hackers and shoot the second part." Someone else suggested.
This is a good choice, but the production cycle of Hackers is relatively long, at least nearly a year, and we can only wait for the summer release of next year.
Chambers recorded this and started preparations recently. Basically, the original cast is almost the same, so the company still has enough energy to make another movie.
Regarding new movies, no one has any opinions anymore, because everyone knows that it is too difficult to come up with a good movie.
The most popular films in Hollywood are not excellent films, but blockbusters, which account for more than 80% of the total.
If a movie fails, the company's vitality may be severely damaged.
In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Qingshan. When it comes to creativity and control of the general direction, it depends on the boss.
Although the boss can't come to the company twice a year, he is the biggest contributor behind the scenes of Hurricane Company's achievements.
Liu Qingshan looked around and then said: "We should try some new themes and types to further expand the influence of the hurricane."
"Our plan is to become a first-tier film and television company within ten years. In order to achieve this goal, we must continue to innovate and never rest on our past glory."
The employees couldn't help but feel alarmed: it seemed like one after another success made everyone feel a little dizzy.
Liu Qingshan was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He just wanted to give everyone a warning, so he stopped talking: "Of course, it is a good thing to have confidence, but it is even more important to be down-to-earth and create."
"Yes, boss!" Someone took the lead and shouted, and then there was a chorus of responses.
Liu Qingshan pressed his hands down, then raised a finger and turned his eyes to Xiao Li, another shareholder of the company:
“The first choice right now is Lee’s Pirates of the Caribbean.”
Xiao Li immediately looked embarrassed. Pirates of the Caribbean has already published two books, one of which is selling better than the other. Of course he has the capital.
Liu Qingshan raised two fingers again: "The second choice is The Twilight Zone, which Victor and I collaborated on, telling the story of vampires."
The Twilight series is also a big hit in North America, so of course the film practitioners present knew about it and couldn't help but feel excited.
Liu Qingshan raised a third finger: "The third choice is the Harry Potter series that Zheng and I collaborated on."
There were low exclamations in the conference room. No one could have imagined that the boss had such a big appetite.
And every plan has definitely been a hit in the past two years.
For such works, the copyrights are usually snatched away by big companies. Otherwise, they would be richer.
But these three movies are different. The boss is involved in the creation, and the copyright will of course not be sold to others.
It's exciting to think about it. It turns out that the Hurricanes still have such a large amount of capital.
The more everyone thought about it, the more excited they became: these resources were their capital to take Hollywood by storm.
"Boss, just tell me, which one should we shoot first?" Even a middle-aged man like Chambers felt excited.
Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "This kind of magical plot must be a big production. With our hurricane's current capabilities, it is still a little bit reluctant."
After everyone heard this, their excitement gradually calmed down: Yes, such a large-scale production requires an investment of at least 50 million, and the filming is extremely difficult.
The boss said it was a little forced, which sounds nice. To put it bluntly, the current hurricane really doesn't have such great ability.
The result of a small horse pulling a large cart is that it might overturn.
"I say this to show everyone that our hurricane has an extremely bright future."
Of course Liu Qingshan is not here to attack his subordinates, but to draw a grand blueprint for everyone.
The employees' ideas have become clearer, and each of them has made up his mind: he will take the Hurricane Company seriously!
Most of Gu Di and the others were new members in the past two years, and their hearts were unstable. With Liu Qingshan as a reassurance, they were completely stabilized.
"Boss, what exactly are we going to shoot?" On this occasion, Xiao Li also changed his title to Liu Qingshan, which showed a kind of respect.
Liu Qingshan finally stopped talking in circles: "We, Hurricane, now lack a stand-up work, not a comedy, not a thriller, but a serious drama, the kind of classic that can win the Oscar for Best Picture. "
After he finished speaking, the people around him couldn't help but look at each other: This seems a bit difficult.
Classics are not so easy to create. Hollywood produces so many movies every year, but it may not produce one classic every year.
However, the greater the difficulty and challenge, the greater the ambition of the boss is. He really wants to make the hurricane take off.
Rather than wait for the hurricane to fatten up and then resell it.
In the United States, speculators like this are not uncommon.
Seeing that everyone became confident after the initial surprise, Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded:
“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like.”
Everyone didn't know why and thought the boss was talking about movies, so they all continued to smile.
Liu Qingshan smacked his lips a little regretfully. This famous saying has not spread with that famous movie.
So he continued: "Some time ago, I read a book by Mr. Winston Groom called Forrest Gump, and I thought this is the work our hurricane needs."
Liu Qingshan waved, and Lu Liang came in with a stack of books, which were published in 1986 and distributed to everyone.
This book is really unfamiliar to everyone. After reading the introduction, it is very inspiring. Well, it is indeed Oscar’s favorite type.
The biggest difference between the original work and the movie is that Gan in the original work suffers from savant syndrome and is what people often call an idiot genius.
But this part was deleted in the movie version, making Forrest Gump more like a "normal person". Of course, he himself is not normal, he is mentally retarded, and his IQ is only 75.
But it is such a person who has become the representative of the American dream.
After having a general understanding of the book, everyone started a lively discussion.
It is undoubtedly very difficult to shoot this kind of subject matter. Shooting and shooting or science fiction and magic can at least attract some audiences.
If this kind of drama film is not made well, the audience will definitely not buy it.
The most important thing is that this is the first time Hurricane has tried this kind of subject, so the risks will undoubtedly be greater.
Xiao Li is quite confident. Essentially, he prefers this kind of literary film because the quality is high enough.
Chambers also agreed. Since it was proposed by Liu Qingshan, he had no reason to object.
So the project was quickly approved, and the entire company began to operate:
Contacting the writer and purchasing the copyright is the first and crucial step.
Then there is the search for a director. If this kind of film does not have a good director, it is bound to fail.
Liu Qingshan’s proposal was to hire Robert Zemeckis, because he was the original director of Forrest Gump, a film produced by Paramount.
Then there are screenwriters, etc. Liu Qingshan has also been nominated. Together with the staff of Hurricane Film and Television, the prototype of the crew can be built.
Of course, the most important thing is the male protagonist.
Liu Qingshan feels that this role must belong to Tom Hanks. His role as Forrest Gump is both physical and spiritual, and he is well-deserved to win the Oscar.
Everyone performed their duties and started to get busy. Only Liu Qingshan and Xiao Li became idle.
Liu Qingshan is only responsible for the general direction, while Xiao Li is purely because he is a free worker.
It was unnecessary for them to stay here, so they simply left Hurricane Video Company.
Xiao Li proposed to have some fun, but Liu Qingshan refused directly and went back to the villa. He was not a playboy like Xiao Li.
After the morning exercise the next day, the family had breakfast in the restaurant. Liu Yinfeng was reading the newspaper while eating, and suddenly said hello:
"Sanfeng, are you betting with others again?"
The reason for the assassination last time was related to the business bet of the Mitsui Group, so Liu Yinfeng really didn't want her brother to get involved in such things again.
Liu Qingshan took a bite of the big meat bun: "There is no way. Drilling oil wells in Lilan costs tens of millions of dollars. Longteng Company can't afford it. It's best to find someone to reimburse it."
Wu Tong and Liu Yinfeng were watching together, and her mouth corners curled up slightly: "Sanfeng, you have stirred up a hornet's nest this time."
After saying that, she handed the newspaper over. Liu Qingshan took a look and saw that it was a big scene.
Even the people in the Rockefeller family jumped out and declared in the newspaper that they would teach this young man who didn't know the height of the world a lesson.
The one who spoke was the fourth generation of the family, a young man named Looney Rockefeller.
I don't know if this guy is young and hot-tempered and acts on his own, or if there is a family behind him.
In addition, another oil tycoon, Tony Getty, a grandson of Paul Getty, also jumped out to accuse Liu Qingshan.
Because the last time they conducted oil exploration in the waters of Leland, it was their company, of course they couldn't tolerate it.
This Mr. Paul is definitely a legendary figure, once the richest man in the world.
He started his career with oil, especially in the Middle East, where he owns many large oil fields.
Leland is not far from the Middle East and belongs to the same plate, so they naturally conducted exploration, but no valuable large oil fields were found, so they gave up.
In addition to being the richest man in the world, Mr. Paul is also a famous miser, known as the "most stingy rich man".
How stingy is this man? When one of his grandsons was kidnapped, he was reluctant to pay the ransom.
In the end, the gangster cut off one of his grandson's ears, and Paul panicked and agreed to pay.
However, he still thought the other party's price was too high, and after a lot of bargaining, he negotiated the ransom from 14 million to 2.2 million, and then redeemed his grandson.
Liu Qingshan didn't know whether Tony, the grandson who had come forward, was the one whose ear was cut off.
It was unlikely. It was estimated that the other one had already left a psychological shadow, and it was unclear whether he could live a normal life.
Moreover, Liu Qingshan analyzed that Mr. Paul had passed away long ago, and the second generation of the family was in charge.
It was probably to avenge the stingy ancestors in the past, so these descendants were more and more extravagant, otherwise, they would not jump out to bet with Liu Qingshan.
Welcome, of course, the more such things, the better. Liu Qingshan wished that more people would give him money.
He was really happy: now, the cost of exploration must be settled.
March, early spring.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.
Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fur had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie and weirdness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.
There, a figure was lying.
This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.
