Super Craftsman

Transformers Chu Fei is the heroine, how could Guo Tailai not take care of it when it was released? In this regard, Director Steven is a very qualified businessman who has used the available conditions to the extreme. This will contact the feelings for support before the shoot.

However, Guo Tailai definitely mentioned 3d. If Steven is tempted, then the amc theater that is perfecting the 3d imax projection hall in the future will have a greater degree of advantage.

"3d?" Steve obviously considered this issue in depth, and when he heard Guo Tai, he laughed directly: "g, I understand your mood, but now the production budget of Transformers has a budget I've ordered $ 500 million. If I change to a 3D screen, I am afraid that it will increase at least 50 million. The production cost of 200 million US dollars is too expensive! "

"Two hundred million dollars is still expensive?" Guo Tai looked at Director Steven in a puzzled way and couldn't help asking: "But you didn't hesitate to invest in James' movie. If you invest 50 million, you can vote. It ’s your own movie, but you dare not cast it? ”

"G, we are not the same as you." Director Steven watched Guo Tailai with a grin: "We all know that you buy a movie company, Marvel, and even an AMC theater line. One is for Phoenix, the other One is for your comic idols. You didn't make movies your business. "

In this regard, Guo Tai had to admit that he did not treat the film as a career: "You are right. I really just use the film as a tool to play with friends, and by the way, help my girl to develop better, It really is not considered a cause that requires one's own struggle. "

"That's the difference between you and me." Steven said with a smile. "You are a tool and an interest, so even if your investment fails, it doesn't matter to you. And so far, you have done well. You know that Fenix's acting skills are not so good, so I choose all commercial films, and they are all outstanding characters. Even if I am a professional director, I ca n’t help but admit that you helped your girl choose these few The characters are really suitable, including the Transformers that are about to start shooting. "

Guo Tailai was a little ashamed when he heard the big director Steven.

"Not only the role selection is good, but the subject matter of your investment is also good." Steven went on to say: "You are not pursuing anything that is small and big, and you are not pursuing any awards. You only invest in commercials, plus James is good at investing in big things Commercial film, so very successful. "

"You are too rewarding!" Guo Tailai was also embarrassed and humbled for a while.

"But I'm different." Steven smiled bitterly: "I think of film as a lifelong career. Although I am also the owner of a film company, most of the time I am a director. In our industry, there is actually a you Well-known rules that may not be known yet. "

"What rule?" Guo Tailai asked curiously.

"Don't take your own money to make your own movie." Steven smiled. "Even if you think your movie is very secure. You also know that there are many illusions in life, one of which is ..."

"The movie I'm making is sure to be a big hit?" Guo Tailai took the conversation and laughed.

"That's right!" Steven laughed. Although he didn't say much, Steven has successfully explained why DreamWorks is not willing to invest more, even if he thinks it is very promising.

"I'm curious, Steven." Guo Tailai asked: "When you invested in James's film, the production cost was 300 million, and the propaganda cost was close to this value. You don't seem to be shocked!"

"It's normal," Steven laughed. "If you know how much Warner Bros. has invested in Superman Returns, you'll feel normal."

Guo Tailai's eyes widened curiously. Is "Superman Returns" a big investment? Looks like this movie has hit the street? Well, Guo Tailai is very happy with the Warner Bros video.

"The investment budget is 270 million US dollars, can you imagine?" Steven did not ask Guo Tai to wait, and announced the answer directly: "From the screenwriter to the director to the starring, the whole changed two rounds, and it took five before the filming started. Ten million, and it hasn't started filming yet, you can imagine how messy it is. If you do n’t rely on arrears in distribution fees, I am afraid that this film will not be able to support it. It's never been wasted outside the film. "

A super masterpiece! No wonder, it seems that the box office share owed to the "Death of God" is due to this reason, in addition to the reason previously known. Unlucky child, let Annie urge the box office to split the money back tomorrow, and appeal when the time comes.

The two talked about some other topics. Basically, Steven was literacy for Guo Tai, telling him some Hollywood inside information or something, and he couldn't see it. Sometimes Steven was still gossiping.

"G, we, I mean DreamWorks and AMC Cinema, can we reach a long-term cooperation agreement?" When it came to the rise, Steven finally talked about the purpose of the real visit.

"What kind of cooperation do you mean?" Guo Tailai asked.

After some explanation, Guo Tailai finally understood the meaning of Steven. In fact, DreamWorks' own distribution channels are very weak, there are almost no, and many times have to be controlled by others. This also greatly restricted the development of DreamWorks, and was finally acquired by Paramount, and later cooperated with Disney. The Seventh Congress in Hollywood did not want to see a powerful DreamWorks integrated production and distribution of DreamWorks, the parties suppressed. And DreamWorks because of its own distribution channels, all kinds of bitter tears. Now Guo Tailai has purchased the amc theater line, so that Steven also sees a hope of breaking the line.

"Amc and DreamWorks can cooperate." Guo Tailai doesn't care about this. The quality of DreamWorks' movies is generally good. Whose money is not made? But he is still very self-aware: "However, you know, Steven, amc can at most only allow you to arrange films normally or with advantage within the scope of amc's theater, but in other aspects, such as marketing in various countries and sales around Above, it won't help you much. "

"This has helped us a lot." Steven got a personal promise from Guo Tailai and was very happy: "We can also take the opportunity to develop our own distribution channels, at least not completely extorted."

To achieve cooperation, has achieved the biggest purpose of Steven today.

"Transformers are about to start shooting. You need to take care of Finix in the crew." Guo Tai came to think of one thing: "Don't let her be bullied. I heard that the director you chose is not a province. Oil lamp, warn him not to think of Fenix! "

"Rest assured, I promise!" How could Steven tolerate someone in the crew's idea of ​​Fenix, and he couldn't raise his hand to swear.

"Is there any free money?" Guo Tailai seemed to be addicted to selling, and in the face of Steven, he began to sell: "After two days of Google listing, you can consider buying some stock investment."
