Resource Tycoon Reborn
Chapter 682 New work, new director
When Fang Mingyuan and his group stepped into the Irish drama restaurant proposed by Jackson, they felt a little fond of it. There were not many people here, and although it seemed like a musical was being performed, the atmosphere in the restaurant was very interesting.
It was cozy. The four of us found a booth inside and sat down.
"You can try the Swan beer here. It can be said to be the most popular beer in Perth." Jackson waved to the waiter and said.
"Fang, I wonder if there are any good scripts recently. Do you have any ideas?" Seinov said with a smile, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, and just when Seinov felt that there was no chance, he said: "I personally don't have any new ideas. After all, in the past six months or so, I have been so busy that I have to hit the back of the head with my feet. But I can give you
Recommend a person, he has a good idea, and I know about it accidentally. However, you and Jackson must promise not to say that it was me who said it!"
"Huh?" Sheinov and Jackson were both interested immediately, and immediately looked at Fang Mingyuan with a somewhat eager expression. If they can't get Fan Mingyuan's own script, it would be nice to get a work recommended by him!
"Well, you know "The X-Files", right?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.
"I know!" Sheinov and Jackson said in unison. This TV series not only created a trend of science fiction and mystery on the American screen, but also made the leading actors and actresses David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson popular.
Since then, the two have been on a smooth journey to stardom. They have almost become a symbol of the American Fox Company!
"One of its screenwriters is a Chinese-American named Huang Yiyu! He has an idea for a thriller, which is about..." Fang Mingyuan talked eloquently. But it immediately attracted the attention of the two.
Among American films and entertainment literature, one genre is horror films and horror novels. Although works of this type are not elegant, their popularity in the United States cannot be underestimated, especially horror films. This novel
It is profitable and can capture the audience's psychology very easily. Selling the goods is a piece of cake.
Huang Yiyu is the director and screenwriter of the "Death is Coming" series of movies that later became very popular in the world of film circles! Although the box office performance of the "Death is Coming" series cannot be compared with "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", "
Compared with movies such as "Pirates of the Caribbean", Fang Mingyuan remembered that its highest box office was only US$200 million. But its cost was very low, and the first one was only a mere US$20 million. Therefore, for the film company that funded the filming,
Speaking of which, it’s also very good!
In the previous life, the "Death is Coming" series still left a deep impression on Fang Mingyuan. Calculating the time, it will be almost the next year or so. According to the historical trajectory, it will also enter the vision of New Line Cinema.
At the beginning of this series of movies, Fang Mingyuan also thought about whether to blame the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company. But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. First of all, this type of small-production movie
.It no longer conforms to his usual style in the film industry for fans - fans are already very accustomed to Fang's productions being masterpieces!
Secondly, he really feels that the number of Chinese directors in the world film industry is really small, so it is better not to "learn from" or not to "learn from" - spring will come when a hundred flowers bloom. Just stand alone.
What's the point there? It can't help the world's people understand the status of Chinese Americans in the film industry.
Third, although he could also share this idea with other screenwriters at Kumho Film Group and let them create it, in that case, the quality of the work would be difficult to guarantee and it would most likely ruin the subject matter. Moreover, it would be difficult to guarantee the quality of the work.
It is not conducive to the growth of these screenwriters. Fang Mingyuan has not thought about recruiting Huang Yiyu as a screenwriter in the company, but it is an out-and-out reality that the Hong Kong film industry has gradually returned to mediocrity after the return of the motherland! Kumho Film Group
If the company had not taken the path of cooperative filmmaking from the beginning, I am afraid that it would be in the same difficulty now.
So this time, when he learned that Seinov and the others were coming, Fang Mingyuan had already decided to help Huang Yiyu in advance to facilitate the matter.
Favor! Fang Mingyuan always felt that Seinov should have greater influence in the United States.
The more Seinov listened, the more delighted he became. As a veteran filmmaker, his grasp of the pulse of American films can be said to be only better than that of Fang Mingyuan, but not lower than that of Fang Mingyuan. Therefore, although it is only a rough estimate, it is still true.
It has been confirmed that what Fang Mingyuan said is true. This script is indeed worth investing in filming. Moreover, the cost is low, the risk is small, and the possibility of profit is great! And according to Fang Mingyuan, this script can also be developed into a series of movies.
, then it’s even more of a money tree!
However, at the same time, Seinov was also a little worried. Although this script was not written by Fang Mingyuan and the screenwriter was also American, if Hong Kong Kumho Film Group was interested in recruiting, he did not think that New Line
Film companies can win! Although New Line Cinema is also an established film company, it is now difficult to compete with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group in terms of assets and influence in the film industry!
Although Fang Mingyuan recommended this person to him, it would definitely not be free of charge, right? What are Fang Mingyuan's conditions? If Fang Mingyuan's conditions are no longer acceptable, then give up?
Jackson is a little moved. In fact, many people don't know that the famous director of "The Lord of the Rings" is also a master of horror movies. His work "The Undead" has won sixteen awards at many film exhibitions.
International Film Award! Many film critics rated it as the most bizarre, terrifying, inhuman and perverted film that surpassed all previous horror films! Fang Mingyuan once experienced this film in the video hall in his previous life.
It is a black humor work that is unscrupulously based on bloody and disgusting scenes, and there are too many stomach-churning scenes to count!
And many of his later works can be classified as horror films. Therefore, Jackson was indeed a little tempted by this script.
"Peter, do you think you can take care of both sides?" Fang Mingyuan could see what he was thinking, but with just a plain word, Jackson completely dismissed the idea. Jackson is a smart man, and he naturally understands that since Fang Mingyuan said
If it is exported, then both New Line Cinema and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group will probably schedule the filming of the film in the shortest possible time. The truth of long nights and many dreams is not only understood by Chinese people!
And my energy is limited. Even if I fight for it, I am afraid it will be difficult to devote enough energy. Not only will it be difficult to ensure the quality of the shooting, I am afraid it will also affect the filming of "The Lord of the Rings". If that is the case, wouldn't it be a loss at both ends?
?Besides, one is a low-budget horror film, and the other is a large-scale production with an investment of 300 million US dollars and movie fans around the world are paying attention. It is not obvious which one is more important. If I have influenced "The Lord of the Rings" because of the new script
He is the stupidest person in the world!
"Director Jackson, I have some ideas about the role of Eowyn and would like to ask for your advice!" Uda Mitsuri said to Jackson with a smile.
"Ah? Ms. Uda, please speak!" Jackson was startled and said quickly.
"Let's sit over here and don't disturb them!" Uda Mitsuri pointed to the sofa next to them.
Seinov pondered for a long time and said: "Fang, I'm very surprised. Since you think so highly of him, why don't you recruit him?"
Fang Mingyuan shrugged casually and said: "Because I am not good at writing horror movie scripts, and he did not get a good development in Hong Kong because he likes to make horror movies!"
Seinov looked at him with some confusion. What's wrong with making horror movies? There are also classics in horror movies, and horror movies account for an astonishing amount of movies in Hollywood every year.
Fang Mingyuan smiled, but did not explain much. What do you want him to say? In the Chinese film industry, horror films are an insignificant genre. In Hong Kong films, ghost films also account for a considerable share of the films released every year.
However, with the return of Hong Kong, the proportion of ghost films in Hong Kong movies is getting smaller and smaller. I am afraid that in the end, it will only be better than Yuan! The remnants of feudal thought are a big hat that no one wants to wear. No one wants to wear it anymore.
Coupled with the ban on the domestic market and the shrinking overseas market for Hong Kong films, this is a regrettable result.
Although Fang Mingyuan knew that there would be such a result, there were things in this world that he was powerless to do, and not one or two leaders could reverse the consistent practice of Huaxia Film in this regard.
"Then what do you mean..." Seinov felt that he was a little uncertain about Fang Mingyuan's thoughts.
"The film is still considered a co-production between the two companies. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group requires at least 51% of the investment, as well as the film copyright. Moreover, this series of films will be like this. But Huang Yiyu's other works, Hong Kong
Kumho Film Group can not take the initiative to interfere, and New Line Films can invest in filming at will." Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly and said, "I am very optimistic about Mr. Huang's future career as a director!"
"Career as a director?" Seinov keenly caught the key words in Fang Mingyuan's words and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Isn't he a screenwriter? Does he have any works released currently?"
"He is indeed a screenwriter now, but he really hopes to be able to direct his own works. As for the works to be released?" Fang Mingyuan thought for a long time, spread his hands and said, "Maybe there are, but I don't remember!"
Seinov couldn't help but be stunned, and for a moment he didn't know what to say!
