Chapter 363 Full of ambition! Shock Oscar! Six thousand words(1/2)
Everyone looked at Chen Tian on the rostrum, looking forward to what the first news in his mouth was.
What is the movie plan or a big move? There are a lot of news about Chen Tian about Miramax in the past month, but it has always been just rumors and has not been verified in practice.
"It can be seen that everyone is looking forward to it. I originally wanted to make a little turn. I think that I will be cursed by many people in my heart very much." Chen Tian smiled, "Mila Max will officially acquire Kenner Optics and Newdealstudio miniature models."
"Kenner Optics? What company is that?"
"Miniature model? Is it a movie prop company?"
The reporters from Hong Kong local media stared at each other. The latter could still guess it was a movie prop tool, but they didn't know what the former was.
It sounds like a chemical or physics company, but the American media next to them knows very well these two companies.
"Justin, I'm the Hollywood Reporter Rudd. Are you saying that Miramax will officially acquire Kenner Optics and Newdealstudio miniature models that you originally belong to Industrial Light and Magic?
Doesn’t Miramax want to develop future special effects technology, but prefer traditional miniature model technology?
Now that all Hollywood is innovating technology, Miramax has acquired two companies with excellent miniature model technology at once. Is this your own filmmaking philosophy or the future development direction of the entire Miramax movie?
Moreover, isn’t it an irrational merger and acquisition decision for Miramax to acquire two old-fashioned special effects teams with great overlap in technology?” A big white man, who was 1.95 meters tall, stood up and asked.
This big white man named Rad expressed the voices of many American colleagues.
Nowadays, special effects technology is becoming more and more developed, and special effects technology led by computer CG special effects has gradually become the mainstream in Hollywood.
They couldn't understand that Miramax actually bought the old-fashioned physical special effects company, and there were two, although these two had excellent film technology in the past.
But for the Hollywood film industry system, old-fashioned physical special effects have already reached death, otherwise Industrial Light and Magic would not abandon Kenna Optics, or these two companies would not have been struggling.
"Justin. I am Angus, a reporter from Variety. What is your purchase price? If it is very cheap, it is still an understandable decision." Another white reporter stood up.
The Hong Kong reporters on the side also looked at Chen Tian according to their American counterparts. Although Hong Kong movies have not followed the trend of world movies, they also understand the future development direction of movies.
Chen Tian made a downward gesture and the audience calmed down: "I know, there must be many people who have many questions about our Miramax acquisition, but I will answer these questions one by one later.
Now let us focus all our attention on this press conference. I believe there are more things that you are interested in.
Of course. If you only care about the acquisition now, I can also answer it directly, but in that case, I may think that you are interested in things that you can only miss regretfully.
So the right to choose is left to everyone.”
Looking at Chen Tian, who was calm and gentle on the stage and had a faint smile, the reporters obviously hoped to get more news they wanted.
"It seems that everyone has made a choice, so I will announce the second news of this press conference, but before this news, I would like to ask everyone what their impression of China is? Is there something that has conquered the whole world?"
Conquered the whole world, and it is from China?
Chen Tian suddenly asked everyone on the scene, and they didn't understand what this would have to do with this press conference.
“Is Chinese food?”
"effort?"
"Justin, is it Chinese culture?"
"China's History? Justin. Are you going to shoot a movie about Chinese history?"
...
Voices sounded from the audience, but Chen Tian on the stage still didn't speak. Yuan Heping and others beside Chen Tian were also curious about what Chen Tian said to lead to.
“How could it be all the wrong answers!
What else has come from China to conquer the whole world?" Angus from "Variety Show" stood up again. He couldn't think of what the answer was.
"Okay, you have said a lot of answers, but they are actually very correct, but it's a little far from my answer. I'll give you a hint, it's a black and white, very cute guy, people all over the world love it, and it..."
"Panda!" Angus, who had just sat down, directly interrupted Chen Tian's words.
Chen Tian snapped his fingers: "Congratulations to Angus, you answered correctly! Panda. Our cute representative of China's panda."
"Tell me your expression, my answer is not wrong, right?" Chen Tian made a gesture of invitation. Four pictures were shown on the screen on the rostrum with a projector.
"This is our initial concept map, to be precise. We have started this project, and it will be combined with another world-renowned representative Kung Fu, and we intend to do a Kung Fu Panda.
I believe the great DreamWorks team will bring this lovely guy to everyone and will definitely make friends all over the world like it.”
The four pictures on the projector are Abao's lying position, holding a stick with one foot and posing in a po-colored manner, posing in a classic Kung Fu starting style and a cute expression on his face.
The round Abao suddenly made the reporters in the audience raise the camera in their hands.
As Chen Tian said, this cute guy Panda conquered the whole world.
If a person who comes from China and conquered the people of the world 100%, then this must be a round panda.
The cute panda almost made people all over the world crazy. The annual rental fee of millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars of feeding fees plus protection and place maintenance, the annual cost of a panda is enough to reach as much as three million dollars.
However, even so, countless countries still want to obtain temporary rental rights from pandas.
Especially at this time, there are far less countries than in later generations who can obtain the short-term residence of pandas.
Even in the United States, there are only nine pandas, and the celebrity panda couple Mika and Tiantian at the Washington, DC Zoo will welcome the panda baby next year, and have been sought after by countless people recently.
There is no doubt that, like later generations, Abao's initial concept map touched the reporters on the scene.
They raised their hands one by one and wanted to ask questions.
Chen Tian was very satisfied with the reaction of the reporter on the scene. However, he did not plan to answer immediately.
"I know you want to know more about it, just like this concept has made us excited just as soon as it appeared in the minds of our employees. But just now, please wait patiently.
Because there is more news to everyone, "Kung Fu Panda" is just the beginning.
Everyone knows that we reached a cooperation with DreamWorks two months ago and won the great DreamWorks animation department. Now we, Miramax, will officially establish Mimeng Animation Co., Ltd. on November 1.
The name comes from Miramax and DreamWorks. We will not let DreamWorks animation, the giant in the animated film history, enter history, after all, it has created many classics for us.
Now that we have inherited the classics of DreamWorks, we are obliged to do it better.
So we will continue to start the filming of "Shrek 3", and no one will refuse the continuation of an excellent series.
In addition, we will also expand the staff of the new Mimeng Animation Co., Ltd. From now on, we will recruit 300 people from various positions, and even more."
Chen Tian's words shocked the audience. You should know that major companies are laying off employees now, and the same is true for the film companies.
The market conditions are not very good in the era of big economics, especially in the past two years.
DreamWorks had no choice but to sell DreamWorks animation studio, and MGM was also shaky, and many small and medium-sized film companies are now unable to survive.
However, Miramax actually had to expand the team of 300 people based on DreamWorks Animation Studio.
The production cycle of a formal long animated film is indeed very long, and it often takes hundreds of people to take two or three years or even longer to complete.
Such a long production cycle means high investment and huge risks.
Once the video is not effective in listing, it is likely to directly bring huge disaster to the entire company.
However, Miramax actually started the production of three animation masterpieces at the same time. This made them unimaginable.
"Justin, although you have a 100% profitable case for filming yourself, the animation is not another film.
Can I say you are too confident? It is hard to imagine that shareholders will agree to such a strategic layout.
I think this is not just a simple problem that can be solved by recruiting more people. I think many people will look forward to your failure when they hear this news, and will think that you are already extremely conceited."
Angus, who had just sat down, stood up directly. In fact, he had a good impression of Chen Tian.
He witnessed Chen Tian, the rapid rise of this yellow man in Hollywood.
He didn't want Chen Tian's legend to be quickly destroyed because of his outstanding achievements in the past.
In his opinion, Chen Tian's pace was too big.
Not everyone starts from the perspective of Chen Tian’s good intentions like Angus. What more people need is the news effect.
Compared with Chen Tian’s success again, they are obviously more willing to write a title like “Justin Finally Failed” on the front page of the entertainment.
Although Miramax knew about this decision and passed it, it did not mean that everyone supported it.
Both Weinstein brothers were very opposed, but Chen Tian had absolute voice with the support of Ivanka Trump and Ellison. In the end, Miramax and Mimeng agreed to Chen Tian's decision.
So Chen Tian was not surprised at all about the reporters' reaction at this moment.
After all, even one’s own people have big questions, not to mention outsiders.
"Angus, thank you, my old friend." Chen Tian thanked Angus, "I know how crazy this news is to be announced, but I am not a person who doesn't think with my head.
As for why it seems so urgent, let us leave it to time to prove it."
Chen Tian did not intend to explain this matter very clearly. Only he himself clearly sees the source of confidence in producing three animation masterpieces in three years.
Angus didn't know where Chen Tian's confidence came from, and he could only look forward to time to prove whether this crazy decision was right or wrong.
“It looks like we’re crazy, yes, it’s a bit crazy.
But God will bless those who work hard and prepare everything. I believe we are the blessed group." Chen Tian said with a smile.
Shit!
It's total nonsense!
A bullshit blessed group!
Many reporters from the audience cursed in their hearts. They didn't want Chen Tian and Miramax to be the objects of God's blessing.
Not to mention those competitor companies, no one wants Miramax, led by Chen Tian, to be blessed. They wish that any accident would cause Chen Tian to be defeated.
"It seems that I can continue to announce it. You should know that today's press conference was only halfway through the main announcement.
You heard it right, let the madness continue."
Listening to Chen Tian's words, nearly two hundred reporters under the audience took a breath.
The news that was about to be announced is not halfway.
They couldn't help but look forward to what shocking news could be revealed in Chen Tian's mouth.
"We just talked about our animation and film industry's plan. Let's go back to some topics that everyone is more concerned about.
Everyone knows what I was doing some time ago. In addition to "Assassin League", I am also participating in and filming my first personal variety show "Breast Nningman". Many people hope that we will collide with super shows such as "American Idol" and "American Supermodel Rookie Contest", and I also hope."
