Chapter 149 Still came to the door! (1/4)
"Who is it?"
The staff member replied: "...I don't know him either, but I think he's quite polite!"
"polite?"
Shen Changlin entered the living room with doubts. Guo Songjiang was chatting with the visitor, his attitude was very polite...
Seeing Shen Changlin, the two stood up. Guo Songjiang introduced: "Dr. Shen...this is the boss Lu I mentioned!"
"Finally met Director Shen himself!"
The visitor smiled and extended his hand.
"Hello...I am Shen Changlin."
Don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling person. Shen Changlin also smiled. He probably guessed who this person was - the road official!
The star-studded founder!
A middle-aged man in his forties who looks very lean and not greasy at all...
Of course, he can't be called a handsome guy, but at least he's more pleasing to the eye than Godfather Chen.
"Director Shen really has a great vision. You are the main control and investor in three movies that have exceeded one billion, including "Lost in Thailand", "The Band of Thieves" and "Charlotte". That's amazing!"
Shen Changlin waved his hand: "I am a movie maker myself. If I don't even have this vision, I might as well just make games with peace of mind!"
Well, when you meet someone you want to cooperate with, you don’t have to be humble anymore.
Yes, Shen Changlin believes that the road administration is here to cooperate.
That means investing money.
Those working in the film and television entertainment industry basically burn money. Changlin Film and Television has launched more than a dozen projects, including several Sino-US co-productions, with investments exceeding 400 million.
Shen Changlin wouldn’t use all his own money!
On the one hand, it is risky; on the other hand, the behavior of eating alone is very disgusting.
Jianghu is not only about fighting and killing, but also requires paying attention to human relations and sophistication.
For example, there are 14 co-producers of "League of Treasures". In addition to related parties, we also need to consider marketing parties, theater parties, and online ticketing parties!
Last year, Shen Changlin, with Yang Fan's instigation, formed an investment fund, which attracted almost 800 million in funds, specifically used to invest in projects produced by Changlin. The first phase was mainly "Lucky Key" and "Treasure League" , the four major projects of "Sha Po Lang 2" and "Jing Jue Ancient City" stipulate a minimum profit of 10%...
Far more than bank profits, even more than many investment foundations...
Why are all high-quality projects launched?
There is no way, why are there too many film and television venture capital funds now? Tengxun, Wanda, Ali and Baidu all have related investment funds, and their reputation is far more than that of Changlin Film and Television!
What?
Changlin Film and Television specializes in making movies?
There is an egg, what is popular now?
Big data, big IP, Internet+, the Internet is going to subvert the film and television industry...
The traditional film and television industry cannot compete with the Internet!
As for Wanda, she has the richest man in her family, sharpening her sword towards Hollywood.
The richest man Wang shouts in the WeChat circle of friends, and he can easily form a tens of billions investment platter!
By the way, the main fund suppliers for the first investment fund are... Tianxia Entertainment and Enlight Media...
Only internal recruitment.
Recruitment will begin in the second phase!
…
No one knows how road administration started.
But he has a close relationship with Hollywood. Fifteen years later, most of Lionsgate's movies can be released in China. It is said that he helped connect TVB Media with Lionsgate!
US$1.5 billion in investment cooperation.
In fact, it was Wanda at first, but Lions Gate was unwilling to sell shares, and Lao Wang was not interested in simply providing funds!
He wanted to eat Lion's Gate in one bite.
Gu Yan
It should be that the price has not been agreed upon...
Later, I introduced Legendary Pictures to Lao Wang!
If Wanda's transformation is successful and Mr. Wang flies to Hollywood every week on a private plane to discuss big projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars with the big guys, then... everyone will think that Mr. Wang is a winner!
As for Da Tiantian…
It should just be a face-saving component!
After all, whether "The Great Wall" or "Around the World", they all focus on the domestic market. It doesn't matter if you compliment your partner's girlfriend by the way!
When it comes to "Kong: Skull Island", Da Tiantian can only play the second female lead because this film focuses on the global market.
However, when he came to see Shen Changlin, he did not talk about investment, but mentioned "The Great Wall".
Shen Changlin interrupted directly: "I heard Toastur mentioned that I'm not interested in this!"
"Why...what a great opportunity for Chinese culture to borrow a boat to go to sea!"
“What does fighting a monster have to do with culture?”
Shen Changlin was speechless...
We always boast that the movie "The Great Wall" contains traditional Chinese culture. What is Taotie? The core is a Chinese story. We are telling Chinese stories to the world.
Convey the image of China, convey values, convey cultural information...
Diaomao is a white man who helps yellow men fight monsters and save the world at the same time...
What kind of Chinese story?
What is the difference between this thing and "The King of Kung Fu"?
In addition, let me tell you something, the 1998 Disney animated version of "Mulan" hired a large number of Chinese writers, historians, and artists as consultants, and the action design also referred to Chinese martial arts...
Moreover, a large number of experts were invited to watch the internal test screening, and the most controversial scene was deleted: Mulan secretly kissed her sleeping father on the cheek before leaving...
Many people think Liu Qianqian's version of "Mulan" is pure fantasy, with arrogance written all over her face!
Not really, they also invited Jiang Zhiqiang as the producer, deliberately making the background realistic, turning the Huns, the villains of the animated version, into Rouran in history. It looks like the story of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Moreover, the emperor played by Li Lianjie in the film The grudge between them and the big villain also hints at the fratricidal nature of Xianbei and Rouran in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is quite sophisticated.
but…
Corresponding to the realism, the interesting elements are eliminated, interesting characters such as Mushulong are deleted, singing and dancing are deleted, but another original character-the witch is added.
If you combine the above things together, there are only four words: neither fish nor fowl.
You are already realistic, why do you want to add witches?
Moreover, everyone likes Hua Mulan because she is a warrior who joined the army for her father and also fought for herself.
As times change, we will also appreciate her feminine consciousness of "who says women are inferior to men".
Your horse riding adds a superhero trait - Chi.
This thing…
Don't scold Liu Qianqian either. With this script, no one can play it!
Bringing it back, Shen Changlin talked about the unreliability of the setting of fighting monsters on the Great Wall: "Because of the modern development of Europe, America and the West, even if they only have one-third of an acre of their own country, defeating the villain will save the world;
But Chinese people are generally realists and have a more realistic view of culture... Moreover, in Hollywood monster movies, it is either a monster summoned by the villain boss, which only represents evil but has the ability to destroy the world, or it is just a weird creature that confronts the protagonist. It’s because we want to survive, and we don’t have these genes in our culture!”
"The Great Wall is a very complex three-dimensional defense system, including side walls, edge piers, beacon towers, and endless castles behind them. These military facilities are linked together, each playing a different function. Westerners You know nothing, but you’re still fighting monsters on the Great Wall, it’s so whimsical!”
"Then if you were asked to direct "The Great Wall"..."
Shen Changlin shook his head: "I can't direct!"
Lu Zheng smiled and asked, "Are you worried that the audience won't like it?"
"I'm worried that I won't like it!" Shen Changlin simply said: "...China-U.S. co-production, who comes first, that's a problem. I want to make a co-production, and I direct it myself, so I have to control the investment myself. Master creation…”
"This is a condition that can be negotiated..."
"...Mr. Lu, if you can convince Thomas Tull, if I make "The Great Wall", the core of which is a white woman joining the Chinese Legion to fight monsters together, I can give it a try!"
"...white female? Then..."
White actress, what should Da Tiantian do?
