China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 64 One stone stirs up a thousand waves!The entertainment industry is in turmoil
"Director Han is worthy of being Director Han. I didn't mention him as an actor, but Director Han guessed it right away." Guan Ling praised him.

"With other actors, this drama might lose money, but Cheng Long doesn't have this problem at all.

The protagonist is a rich man's driver, and Cheng Long would look like a driver if he didn't come to film. "

Director Han can also joke.

"Besides, you are quite mellow. You just gave me a call with "Baby Project" and immediately gave me a script that the other party couldn't refuse." Han Sanpin smiled.

Cheng Long is indeed a bit old and not handsome enough.Unpretentious and indeed like a driver.Guan Ling felt that if he didn't film, he might be able to join Didi when he was older.

But at least it's appropriate for the character.

"After all, Cheng Long has a lot of popularity in Hollywood. Although he has temporarily returned to the ranks of Chinese-language films, he is still the top-grossing Chinese in the United States."

This is irrefutable.

As for the 2012 movie itself, the acting requirements for the male protagonist are not very high. The only thing that needs to be noted is that Cheng Long can no longer be as funny as in his action movies.

The style of the movie is different, so Cheng Long naturally needs to change.

Guan Ling wanted to add Chinese elements to the 2012 movie, and changing the male protagonist was the best solution.

Cheng Long is the best choice.In person, he looks pretty much the same as the original John.

In fact, in his previous life, when Roland was filming this movie, he used the very cheap John Cusack as the male protagonist. Before that, his "Fatal ID" and "The Phantom Room" were very good thrillers and suspense films, both of which exceeded the box office. [-] million.

But compared to the investment in this movie, the level of this actor is relatively low.

Compared with John, Cheng Long is more well-known in the United States.

And it will also bring good publicity effects in Asia and other places that love Chinese Kung Fu movies.

As for other roles, Guan Ling will not choose Chinese actors willfully.

Guan Ling is very clear about the selling point of this movie, which is the crazy special effects, which will detonate the audience's adrenaline and press on the audience's bladder. It is not absolutely related to the expressiveness of the actors themselves.

But even so, if this movie becomes a movie show for Chinese actors, it will ignore the largest market in the United States.

Guan Ling will not allow this.

The two discussed it for a long time.

"I will try my best to fight for this movie, but you need to negotiate it in the United States. Don't end up getting stuck in the United States, preventing the project from progressing."

Han Sanpin saw Guan Ling's ambition, and he really wanted to join in.

This is also his ambition.

If a Chinese director makes such a blockbuster, he believes that the box office record of "Titanic" will definitely be broken!This is not a delusion.

Moreover, the shock caused by such a blockbuster in China, its attraction to film practitioners, and its significance to China Entertainment as a whole must be epoch-making.

Chinese blockbusters are finally no longer limited to period costumes!
"If you want to keep the director, US$[-] million from the major companies in China is enough to raise it, and China Film is more willing to have you as the main controller.

What proportion of the investment can Lingyun itself account for? "

"About 3000 million. It will also be converted into my director's salary."

"Hey, Ling Yun has really made a lot of money during this period. Now he can make up 3000 million US dollars?" Han Sanpin was a little surprised by Guan Ling's answer.

Think about it, the two dramas "Shark Beach" and "Hearing Girl" made Lingyun become a benchmark company among current film production companies.

Liu Yan is also like a gold-swallowing beast. The endorsement fees she has recently signed are very high, with the highest exceeding 300 million.It's all over the internet.

There is also some kind of Coconut Group, which offers 500 million and lets Liu Yan speak the lines. I have been drinking it since I was a child.But Lingyun Media Liu Yan’s agent refused.Moreover, many items during the filming process can attract advertising sponsorship.

So money is the least of the problems.

Han Sanpin definitely wanted to invest high amounts in his heart, but it was impossible for him to mobilize huge amounts of funds. If he wanted to gain more profits, he would need to take too many risks.

No one dares to take this responsibility.

It is difficult for China Film to bear the failure after undertaking a huge investment, but like "The Promise", there is no problem in investing 4000 to [-] million.Han Sanpin has this confidence.

As for the rest of the share, domestic film companies account for the majority.Everyone can be allocated together and can be bound together.

After the two chatted, Han Sanpin returned to China Film Studio and took the script with him.China Film needs a meeting.

"Hearing Girl" is a movie invested by China Film and starring most American actors. It is a benchmark, represents the breadth of China Film's investment area, and is a publicized political achievement.

When the copyright price was sold, China Film made a fortune.

Now, if "2012" is finalized, it will be the first time that a Chinese film participates in a Hollywood blockbuster!Significance!
Guan Ling discussed ideas with Fox.

Although Fox Searchlight has read the script, they have no right to invest $[-] million in the film.

To this end, the news was sent to the desk of [-]th Century Fox.

[-]th Century Fox loves disaster movies, and the world's most famous "Titanic" is one of the disaster blockbusters they have invested in.

And "The Day After Tomorrow" is a disaster movie that they invested US$1.25 million in, earning more than US$[-] million in box office worldwide.

The other party was very surprised by the script of "2012" and made a special phone call across the ocean to Guan Ling.

Fox came up with the idea of ​​buying the script, but Guan Ling sternly rejected it.

Guan Ling's response was very firm. Either the movie will not start, but as long as it does, the director will be him.

Not just for Fox, any company that comes here will get this answer.

Fox tried to persuade Guan Ling, but Guan Ling remained unmoved, which made Fox very annoyed with Guan Ling's attitude.Although China will also account for an investment share of [-] million.But Fox remained hesitant.

In their view, Guan Ling has not really proven himself in Hollywood, and if the money is invested, there is a possibility of losing everything.

And Fox happens to have an in-depth cooperation with Roland, the world's largest disaster film director.

In their opinion, this movie belongs to Roland.

Guan Ling's attitude of refusal never changed, and the storyboards and other scripts of the movie were also faxed to Fox's desk. Although it was only part of it, it still did not change Fox's mind.

Until the storyboard came to Roland.

"Guan is a genius!"

Roland exclaimed at the scenes in the storyboards. Those scenes of the earth splitting were already familiar.

But the roaring and exploding scene in the sky when the volcano erupted made Roland very excited. He felt that he had found a kindred spirit.Stimulate!

The high praise for the project made Fox interested, and the news that China Film Group would also invest made Fox even more hesitant.They know that Columbia, owned by Sony, has an office in China and has made many Chinese movies. This opportunity may also be an opportunity for Fox.

Fox finally agreed to Guan Ling's request, but asked them to appoint a producer, and Guan Ling did everything he could.

After talking about the news, he contacted China Film and Television and told Han Sanpin that Fox had settled the matter.

The news spread in the news media, and the Chinese film industry went crazy!
