China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?
Chapter 714 A superhero movie co-produced by the East and the West!
It seems that it is not so easy to become the number one box office star in the future.
But if the director who ranks first in the world box office says this, it seems to have a lot more credibility.
There was a blank in Diane's mind, because he knew that he could not keep up with Su Yi's pace at all. He could only quietly turn on the recorder. It was not that he wanted to do something else, but he was afraid that he would forget something. When he went back to work and forgot some important things, the boss would be very angry. He had been kicked to the edge by the top management, and now was an opportunity to regain control of the film and television department.
And Su Yi is his biggest helper.
"Now we start the project, Aquaman Part 2..."
Is it also the IP of Aquaman? After hearing this, Diane frowned slightly, because under the filming of James Wan, Aquaman was considered very successful, but this IP was not as impressive as Batman.
Maybe it’s because the time is too short.
In fact, Aquaman has his own mature system. Although he will eventually intersect with Batman and others, it has just been released and needs some time to settle.
Although the box office of the first film has made them very happy, some people are not so optimistic, because the plot further down, Aquaman does not seem so legendary. Many people have also read the comics and feel that if the performance is completely based on the comics, it will be disappointing.
After all, most DC comics are somewhat dark, and what they need is a more logical and rigorous plot, not the mindless and exciting one like Marvel.
There were some professional market analysts who had made suggestions to Warner Bros.
If it were to follow Marvel's lead, the results might not be as good as theirs, and it would lose a large number of its previous fans, and its reputation would be even worse.
This will be a vicious cycle, and there will be no possibility of success. If every IP wastes opportunities like this, Warner Bros. will have no heroes to film.
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, the senior management of Warner Bros. felt that it made sense after careful analysis.
You see, the Batman series is very average after The Dark Knight was released. Even the Joker movie that was planned to be released this year was shelved. The script itself was well written, but they felt that they couldn't go downhill any further. What the experts said makes sense. If there is no innovation, and the fans are abandoned at will, then it is like digging their own graves and erasing all the past achievements. And there is no way to know whether it will be successful now or in the future.
Thinking of this, Diane sighed, because he didn't know what would happen.
At present, it seems that Warner's superhero movies are in a vicious cycle, and it seems that no one can save them. If you want new audiences, you have to abandon the old audiences. It seems difficult to integrate them together, at least for most of the process.
Because Warner Bros. fans are thinking about being able to make a movie like Batman: The Dark Knight again.
In fact, according to the original history, the same was true of Warner Bros.' superhero movies, because Warner Bros. was no match for Disney. This was the course of the times. However, now that he has joined forces with Su Yi, he may change his future.
"When filming Aquaman, I suggested that the second part be embedded with some Eastern mythology stories to have a joint filming location, and try to be in Dragon Bone! Mr. Diane, which animated film is the most popular now?"
After hearing Su Yi's words, Dai An said Nezha 2 without hesitation.
Because this animated film has become the number one in film history, there will basically be no more shocking animated film characters.
Even if it was Zootopia shot by Red Star House, it probably wouldn't have much of a chance, because the fan base of Nezha II is so huge, and the market in Dragon Country alone is enough to make many animated films look up to it, and it has even created many records.
After hearing this suggestion, Diane fell into thought.
Then his eyes became brighter and brighter. Nezha 2 is indeed the most popular now. If it can be linked with some mythological figures of the Dragon Kingdom, it will produce amazing results. However, the shooting of the live-action version of Nezha will probably require a lot of special effects alone, and if the choice is not good, it will be criticized. By then, the fans of the Dragon Kingdom will not buy it, and those picky people in the West will not have much support.
"Mr. Diane, Nezha naturally cannot be put on the screen, because the current technology is still a little immature and not enough to show. But we can select other characters, such as the Four Seas Dragon King. In the eyes of our Dragon Country, the Dragon King represents the supreme combat power of the sea clan. He can completely unite with the Sea King. One is the ruler of the Western Ocean and the other is the ruler of the Eastern Ocean. This also represents a lot of implications. Of course, in order to avoid too much dispute between the two sides, I think it is still mainly to assist you in fighting against the monsters in the deep sea. One of us has a character who can cooperate with you, that is the White Dragon Horse. It is a very obscure character in Journey to the West, but it is well known by the audience..."
In fact, one white dragon horse is enough to get rid of their Sea King.
This is absolutely feasible!
Diane's face showed a hint of excitement. Even if it couldn't hit the first place in film history, it would at least get high reviews and box office. You know, this is the first time that the myths of the East and the West have joined forces!
Moreover, it is co-produced by the world's No. 1 box office director. Even if he is not the main director, his name will be on the screenplay. This can be used as a promotional tool, and this movie will surely be feasible!
The price is nothing more than helping them promote the poetry and painting platform. In fact, they have long been coveting this poetry and painting platform. They want to put some of their own video content on the event chemistry platform, especially some American dramas.
They have their own platform, but it is far inferior to Netflix and others. They even closed two TV stations before their decline. The situation has become so serious. Although this company is huge, a wrong step may lead to eternal damnation. It is not easy for Warner to have the status it has today.
"When the time comes, you will be in charge of polishing the script, and I will just be responsible for reviewing it. I believe your screenwriter was opposed by some screenwriters when I was filming Batman Hengyang Knight. I would feel relieved if I let them be the screenwriter."
Our people will write the script, and you will review it...
Dale smiled helplessly, but Su Yi is a famous director, he has such rights, Warner Bros. will not be angry because of these small ambitions, but will find it interesting, and this script should really be compiled by them, because the protagonist is still Aquaman, just going to the East to seek help. Such a story is simple and interesting. Although everyone understands the routine, they will watch it. "Thank you Director Su Yi for the idea. If we can go to Longguo to shoot, it would be the best. I still remember an underwater dance you shot at that time, which is still used as a classic shot in our underwater movie. That shot is really beautiful."
What Diane was talking about was the time when Su Yi filmed the Spring Festival Gala. At that time, the Yuzhou Song and Dance Troupe was invited to film it. It amazed the whole world at the time, and this is not an exaggeration at all.
"You're too kind, Mr. Diane. But this dance was also filmed by our director Su Yi, so you should be relieved now. When Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed, our action director was specially invited."
Liu Yifei said with a smile, and Dai An was shocked. Who was this person in front of her?
It's not enough that he is so good at making movies, but he can even direct such special action. It seems that there is a reason why the young man in front of him can achieve success so quickly.
"You have helped me a lot, Director Su Yi! I hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation and bring this movie to the screen as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will do my best to promote the Poetry and Painting Platform, and our TV station will also help you advertise at that time. However, I can't guarantee the specific effect, because there are many voices in the country of Star Flag that are very unfavorable to you. In fact, the North American market is now sluggish, and even not many people watch local American dramas, so I don't have too much hope, but the Dragon Country has its unique culture, I think it will give our audience a sense of freshness."
Dai An drank a few sips of red wine, and after clinking glasses with Su Yi, she started talking more. They liked to discuss things before eating, and drinking was very different from Brother Long. But this could also keep a clear mind.
"Besides, Mr. Diane, even if this movie can't hit the top of the box office, it will be in the top five. I can guarantee that. However, we hope to have a bigger breakthrough in investment. This time we are going to two places, and the actors I found can be cheaper, but I hope you will also spend more money on special effects."
Su Yi gave his own suggestion. Now there are many actors whose appearance fees are very high. For example, the role of Iron Man in the Avengers alone is worth 1/3 of the investment. Later, this role was no longer available, and it seems that it was because the appearance fee was too high.
"Our actors in Zhou Xing Country are different from you. The high prices are almost shocking, and the low prices don't make much money. It's not like everyone of you has a high income, so we try our best to coordinate this matter. I understand what you mean. It must be a big investment and a big production. Even special effects are very expensive. We all understand this principle. Don't worry, Director Su Yi."
A smile appeared in Diane's eyes. After eating two bites, he hurriedly said goodbye because he had to go back to work on the script. By the way, you comforted Liu.
The promotion of Zootopia is about to begin and it will be released soon. At this critical juncture, Liu's mother must be a little worried and anxious.
As the producers, they have already invested too much money. If they can't make a profit at the box office this time, they will go bankrupt!
It may even disappear. The struggle between capitals is so shocking.
When Red Star House was trying to make a fortune with a small investment, it attracted the attention of countless people. However, after Red Star House rejected many investments from giants, they immediately became dissatisfied. Therefore, they were afraid of being cheated for this animated film, so they went directly to Warner Bros. Although he had a special relationship with Su Yi, Warner Bros. believed that this company had nothing to do with Su Yi, so there was nothing to say even if they did not help them.
And at this critical juncture, Su Yi's arrival was like a reassurance to Liu's mother.
"I didn't expect it. It's true that heroes emerge from youth! We are really old. Although Feifei can't stay with you forever, I respect her choice. No matter what kind of life she chooses, I will provide her with food and clothing. I hope you will also cherish our Feifei. Although I know you have your own family, I have no right to say these words, but I also hope that you can take on the responsibility of a father. When Feifei was young, she didn't have her father's company, and she didn't even see him very often. Later, he was away from home for many years, and we were separated for a long time. Our marriage is a failure. Instead of having a failed marriage, it's better not to have one at the beginning. This is one of the reasons why I agreed to Feifei giving birth to a child."
Liu's mother's words were meaningful. Although she helped them solve the problem, she still had to say something about her daughter's position. However, when facing Su Yi again, she was not so angry. After all, this matter was bound to happen sooner or later. Liu Shishi gave birth to twins, which was also a blessing for both of them. Su Yi started out doing charity work. Although he is not very moral now, he is better than most people in terms of justice.
If this were my own son, I would probably be very proud.
Liu's mother didn't say anything more and left time for Su Yi and Liu Yifei.
Because she knew that the young man must have something to say, no matter what their current relationship was, no matter what happened, she didn't want to continue to hinder it. And now the movie is about to be released, there are a lot of things to do. After leaving the room, Liu's mother began to contact producers in various countries.
The first person on the list was Han Sanping from China Film Group.
……
"Senior, actually you have something to say today. Can you guess what else you haven't confessed to me?"
Liu Yifei said mischievously.
She seemed to have untied the knot in her heart when Su Yi decided to give up everything for him.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. What's left are the details about me and Shishi. Do you want to know about these too?"
Su Yi was joking, and Liu Yifei's face was a little ruddy. Since giving birth to the child, she and Su Yi actually didn't have any close relationship.
However, before she untied the knot in her heart, especially the knot towards Liu Shishi, she was not planning to do anything.
The brief hug just now also made her feel a little excited, after all, this was the father of her child.
But be careful, given your respective identities, don’t do anything excessive.
