Chapter 63 I have a plan

"Avengers is so good! I like Robert Downey Jr. so much..."

The next day, Shen Changlin saw Naza, and she kept talking about "Avengers"...

It seems that I am very impressed and I really like it!

Shen Changlin nodded: "Marvel superheroes gather together and become a pot of porridge if you don't pay attention. "Avengers" makes the division of labor among these people very clear, the characters are very distinct, coupled with the dizzying bombardment and appropriate complaints and cuteness , these characters are even more lovable than before when watching the individual films. Director Joss Whedon deserves a lot of credit!"

“Who is Joss Whedon?”

"The director of "Avengers" is a very talented guy!"

Naza thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out who this was...

"Just think of him as a nobody!"

Shen Changlin certainly knows that Joss Whedon is talented and not a nobody.

To give a brief introduction, this man is simply a template character for Entertainment. Joss Whedon used to draw comics and was in the Marvel editorial department. He led the launch of "The Amazing X-Men" and laid the foundation for the plot trend of the modern X-Men. , the characters and the overall tone of the series.

Transformed into a screenwriter, his first masterpiece was "Toy Story"!

In television, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has a total of seven seasons, and the spin-off "Dark Angel" has a total of five seasons, all of which were written, directed, and produced by him.

He switched to the film industry because the TV series "Firefly" he produced was canceled by Fox TV. Fans protested, so he asked Universal for 20 million to make a movie version of "Serenity"...

However, the setting of the previous series was too huge and there was too much foreshadowing. It was not easy to end the series in a movie of more than two hours and consider the independent integrity of the movie story. Therefore, the movie can only be regarded as feedback. It’s just a work of passion from fans.

And he is also well-known in Europe - the literary film "Much Ado About Nothing", which he directed and wrote, was rated as one of the ten best adaptations of Shakespeare's works by French Film Magazine. He also has some short photography and animation short films, which made him famous in Europe. He has become famous in the video art circle. In fact, after "The Nevermore", if he didn't want to continue developing in Hollywood, he could still work in the local art circle or go to the UK and Europe to make art films, or go to France to write comics.

So how important it is for a man to be talented.

If, after leaving Marvel, he leaves the superhero quagmire, it would be a good choice!

At that time, many people in the art circle approached him to make literary films, but he was obsessed with money and thought he was awesome, so he plunged into the DC universe...

He overestimated his own talent. Judging from the later director's cut of Justice League, a movie that was so bad that unless the script was changed and completely remade, even if Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Even if Nolan and other great masters put it all together, it would be impossible to revive a bad movie through editing and reshoots.

Disgraced!

By the way, Nezha came to the company to sign a contract, the actor contract for "The Band of Thieves"...

Shen Changlin put down the filming schedule of "The Thieves" in his hand, and then asked her: "Who did you go to see "Avengers" with yesterday? A classmate?"

"No, I was with Daxi and Sister Yan!"

"Sister Yan? Jiao Junyan...you should ask her for advice, she has a natural aura..."

"Then...where's Sister Wan Qian?"

"Wan Qian... belongs to the technical school, you should learn more and watch more..."

Na Zha nodded, and Shen Changlin stood up: "I'll go next door..."



The impact "Avengers" has brought to the Chinese film industry has actually just begun!

The power of the Marvel Universe has only just begun to appear. When "Iron Man 3" exceeded 700 million, "Captain America 2" exceeded 700 million...

Then when any movie related to Marvel became a global hit, everyone realized the power of Marvel!

As the executive CEO of Changlin Film and Television, Guo Songjiang has always paid close attention to Marvel. Shen Changlin talked to him about the Marvel Universe. At first, he didn't think so, but now "Avengers" has sold $1.5 billion globally!

He decisively approached Shen Changlin: "...let's also make a movie universe?"

Shen Changlin rolled his eyes: "Don't think that the movie universe is such a clever thing, it's just about creating a series of movies!

Theatrical movies derived from Japanese animation are released almost every year, and they are everlasting! For example, "Conan", "Pokémon", and now "Naruto"... are actually a kind of movie universe, but they are only in Japan’s domestic market of benzene is more popular!”

"...Can the "Xiu Chun Dao" series expand the movie universe?"

"Unlikely, because the replacement of the Ming Dynasty by the Qing Dynasty is a historical trend..."

After thinking about it, he added: "Actually, "Fengshen" is quite suitable for creating a movie universe!"

"Become a god?"

"Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, and Jiang Ziya are all suitable to be made into separate movies, and then connected together with King Wu defeating Zhou..."

"Then... let's do it!"

"How to do it? Do you have exclusive rights? How do you ensure that other companies will not follow suit?"

"…Well…"

Guo Songjiang, shut up...

Shen Changlin is telling the truth. To create a movie universe, at least the conditions for copyright exclusivity must be met!

And...it's not like there are no movie universes in China. The tin genre of "Journey to the West" is available once a year...

As early as the 1990s, Wang Jing had played in the movie universe and the God of Gamblers series, including The Gambler and The Gambler, and he also made independent movies respectively. Unfortunately, he could not continue!

Shen Changlin warned: "Don't be so ambitious that you can't walk steadily and just want to run!"

"…I know…"

Seeing his serious expression, Shen Changlin felt relieved...

Recently, many people in the industry are embracing old and beautiful women, and they are all proud of 'cooperating' with Hollywood...

He was quite worried that Lao Guo would have such thoughts.

Now it seems that Lao Guo is still very stable...

"By the way, do you have any friends in the United States who can help me find a book?"

Guo Songjiang was stunned for a moment: "What book?"

"It's called "The Meg". I heard that Disney bought the film and television adaptation rights. But it was shelved for ten years and never filmed. It should be in the hands of New Line now. I want the copyright to this project..."

"You want to run this project?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "Yes!"

Guo Songjiang frowned: "...Boss, didn't you say you shouldn't be too ambitious?"

“…Just do what I ask you to do!”

Shen Changlin became angry and scolded him... After thinking about it, he added: "I have a plan. As long as the cost of this project is controlled below 150 million US dollars and it is distributed globally, I am sure it will be successful!"

""The Megalodon"...Okay, I'll ask my friend to ask about it."

"I would like to ask you, what does your friend do?"

"...He's a producer. He knows a lot about Hollywood. He was responsible for the production of Zhang Ziyi's "Perfect"!"

Hearing this, Shen Changlin quickly stopped him: "Don't... I think it's better to leave it to our own people to find out. What if other people also have ideas?"

"You mean..."

Lao Guo almost gave himself a slap: "...How could I forget this? Boss, don't worry, I will give you a complete answer in two days at the latest!"
Chapter completed!
