China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 821: Stamp it quickly

Regarding the next collaboration with Warner, it's not something that can be just mentioned lightly.

There is a lot to consider.

The first thing Sun Yi considered was his and Liu Yifei's schedule.

After "Edge of Tomorrow", he doesn't have any specific arrangements yet, but his wife's schedule is full. Even if he has done all the preparations and can let her join the crew and act as soon as she moves in, she will have to set aside at least two months.

The key is that Warner is still very anxious.

In Sun Yi's impression, the film should have been prepared in the original space during this period, and then completed before the end of 12, and released in the second half of 13.

The purpose is to catch up with the Marvel Universe and not let it surpass it.

But in this life, although Warner also experienced a change of CEO, because of Sun Yi, Warner has been undecided about the choice of director for this movie.

The previous CEO Barry Meyer wanted to use this movie as bait to lure Sun Yi, but Sun Yi was not fooled at all. It can even be said that Sun Yi did not have the eagerness to prove himself like the Hollywood outsider directors, so Barry Meyer was left with nothing.

In order to maintain stability, the new CEO retained Alan Horn in the production department and accepted his advice to a limited extent, preparing to cooperate with Sun Yi on an equal footing. Of course, this also depends on the specific film performance and box office results of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Sun Yi didn't think that Warner would be able to hand over its signature series of movies to him just based on some finished film clips and Alan's strong recommendation.

But Sun Yi is definitely confident in himself. From any perspective, this "Edge of Tomorrow" is a level better than the original, and the cost is controlled at a lower level. There is no reason for it to lose money. It is just a matter of how much profit it makes.

Well, now it depends on what he thinks.

He himself has not done anything big. He is not an unknown figure in Hollywood and does not need to flatter those people, so there is no question of whether he can prove himself.

He was considering his daughter-in-law's future international career path.

He had previously thought about letting Liu Yifei join the Marvel Universe, taking advantage of Marvel's momentum and directly opening up the international market in one step.

But after this period of negotiations, he found that this matter was much more difficult than he had imagined.

During the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow", Sun Yi had already arranged for John to start cooperation negotiations with Disney and Marvel through the North American Star Sky channel.

Regarding Liu Yifei joining the Marvel Universe.

But after a few months, judging from John's latest reply to him.

The probability of success in this matter is very low.

No one is a fool. Now that Marvel has become popular with "Iron Man", "Thor" and "Captain America", actors, directors and even film and television companies around the world want to get on this fast ship.

This has created a seller's market. Apart from a few already outstanding leading actors such as Robert Downey Jr. and Black Widow who still have room for negotiation, Disney and Marvel can be said to have the final say.

They can do whatever they want.

Of course, it doesn't mean that they directly rejected Sun Yi. After all, Sun Yi has not been working for nothing in the past few years. He has also achieved impressive results in Hollywood. And even for the Chinese market, they will not offend him easily.

But they just politely drag you along or put forward some unrealistic negotiation conditions.

The pay is in line with Liu Yifei's current status, but her role cannot be guaranteed, and she cannot make any suggestions on the character's personality, or to put it simply, that's it.

We can hire you and pay you, because we value the Chinese market behind you, but you can play whatever role you are asked to play, or we can arrange a China-exclusive version for you like we did for Transformers, and you can keep quiet.

Sun Yi certainly could not accept such conditions. It was like selling his wife.

No matter what I was like before the performance, my influence won’t increase much after the performance. I might even offend fans because of the character’s personality. Then my performance would have been in vain~!

So Sun Yi considered many factors and felt that Warner was relatively reliable.

After all, Warner is still in a period of turbulence and is definitely relatively weak in negotiations and cooperation, so we can take advantage of it.

The offense and defense have changed. If the enemy can go there, I can go there too.

Sun Yi took some time to go back to the company and discuss it with Yang Fan. After explaining the whole story, they both agreed.

It's not just Liu Yifei's internationalization issue, Star Sky itself also needs to further explore the international market.

Moreover, Star Sky has had a big explosion this year. In China, they have works shot by themselves and co-produced in every schedule, almost until next year's summer schedule, so Sun Yi can shoot another Hollywood film and not lose the domestic market.

After it was basically confirmed, it was necessary to formally ask the girl for her opinion.

Sun Yi chose a day when Liu Yifei did not have any rehearsal activities, went home early, and talked to her in detail.

"Are you really going to film this? Will Warner agree?" "Don't worry, I think it's almost certain."

"So do you want me to act?"

Liu Yifei raised her pretty face, pursed her lips slightly, and asked Sun Yi like a clever ghost.

In fact, this question was redundant, but she just wanted to ask, just wanted to hear the answer from Sun Yi.

In recent years, she has become accustomed to following Sun Yi's arrangements regarding works and roles.

It doesn't mean that she gave up her dream of acting, nor does it mean that she lost her freedom and became a vassal of Sun Yi.

In her opinion, the two are not in conflict at all.

Sun Yi can always choose the one that suits her best.

In that case, all I have to do is follow the arrangements.

I don’t have to worry about so many troublesome things, I have a lot more happy time every day, and I feel more secure.

As for freedom, that's just sour grapes.

The person is already his, so she is happy whether he is attached to her or not.

Facing Liu Yifei's eyes full of stars, Sun Yi somewhat misunderstood.

"If you can perform, it will be great for your future."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Yifei blocked Sun Yi's mouth with her green jade fingers.

"Just tell me if you want to~"

“Uh, I think.”

"Okay, I'll act then."

"No, let me analyze it for you."

"No, I don't want to hear it. Why, are you going to sell it to me again?"

“That’s not necessarily true.”

"Oh, if you are willing to part with it, just sell it and I will help you count the money."

The girl's move went against the grain and confused Sun Yi.

Are you willing to sell it?

Nonsense, you must be reluctant to do so.

Seeing Sun Yi's frustrated look, Liu Yifei smiled like a flower, but the next moment, she frowned again and said word by word:

"Whether I act or you direct, you must not delay the wedding, otherwise, I will make you look bad."

The murderous look in the little girl's beautiful eyes made Sun Yi laugh.

Not to mention that she didn't want to delay the wedding, I didn't want to either.

With such a beautiful daughter-in-law, we must stamp our seal quickly. What are you waiting for?

Just build it when you say it.

Sun Yi took advantage of the situation and attacked, catching Liu Yifei off guard.

She patted Sun Yi a few times in annoyance, then put her arms around his shoulders and responded to him.

"That's enough. Stop making trouble and go to bed early. We have to attend the premiere tomorrow."

"The premiere is tomorrow. What does this have to do with tonight?"

"You, bad seed!!!"
