Chapter 958

Although I don't know if Rand is being obedient or really thinks so, it is basically unlikely that Lin Xiao in "Taken" will be handed over to the Dick Group.

After all, some things happen as they happen.

When a crack occurs, it cannot be restored to its original flawless appearance by repairing it.

Of course Rand knew this, but he still wanted to fight for it. Just a sequel to "Home Alone" was not enough to satisfy the board of directors.

Of course Rand is ambitious, Steven Johnson, leaving the Dick Group basically only counts down.

After all, no company can tolerate such stupidity as Steven Johnson. They are happy to see the management struggle, but this struggle is to be established without harming the interests of shareholders, and the result is that the Dick Group therefore And the loss was heavy.

"Lin, doesn't the Dick Group have a chance?" Rand said with some disappointment.

"In addition to the sequel of "Home Alone", and several other series of movies, we will adopt a bidding method. Whoever offers the highest price will cooperate with whoever, and Dick Group can also participate." Lin Xiao said lightly. .

Rand's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "OK, Dick Group will definitely continue to participate."

It is a good thing that Lin Xiao did not close the door to cooperation with Dick Group. Of course, even if Dick Group can win the distribution rights of the series of movies again, it is estimated that a lot of benefits will be given up, but at the very least, it can stop losses.

Although Rand was not very satisfied with the result of this meeting, it was not bad.

Soon, the Dick Group announced that Steven Johnson had been fired, and Steven Johnson had also become a laughing stock in the circle.

Of course, Hollywood tycoons must be very grateful to Steven Johnson. Some people even jokingly said that Steven Johnson must be an undercover agent sent by other Hollywood film companies to the Dick Group. Otherwise, how could he make such a ridiculous decision?

Lin Xiao didn't pay much attention to this.

And soon, Dick Group reached an agreement with Lingxiaoge Group to transfer the shares in Legendary Films to Lin Xiao.

For "Taken", after several rounds of negotiations, Universal Pictures finally reached a distribution cooperation agreement.

The reason for choosing Universal is mainly because, this year, there are not many major Universal productions, and most of them are in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, Universal Pictures does not have any major productions, which can free up more resources for "Taken".

In fact, many Hollywood giants are not really interested in "Taken", what they are really interested in is the series of movies that have proven to be blockbusters in Lin Xiao's hands.

And soon, Legendary Pictures, which regained its wholly-owned holding, began to release news, including three series of films, "Kung Fu Panda", "Hua Guo Past Events" and "Terminator", will re-select distributors.

One stone stirred up waves, and soon, Nami's phone was ringing. During this time, she also experienced the feeling of being chased by everyone.

Although Legendary Pictures is only a small company, and even made a few small-budget films before, the Peak Tower Group behind Legendary Pictures is a colossus.

And he holds multiple series of movie IPs in his hands.

But before that, Legendary Pictures only cooperated with Dick Group, and other Hollywood film companies, although eager to see, had no good solution.

But it's different now. Although the Dick Group can't be said to have been knocked out by three strikes, it is no longer such a close cooperation.

In the end, the "Kung Fu Panda" series reached a series of contracts with DSN Group for film distribution and peripheral distribution.

DSN is the company that is best at works for all ages. It is naturally most suitable for "Kung Fu Panda" to be distributed globally by DSN other than Huaguo.

"Once Upon a Time in Huaguo" has finally reached a distribution agreement with Universal Group.

And the release of the last "Terminator" series was still won by the Dick Group at a price that everyone was a little unbelievable.

10% distribution share, and Dick Group also needs to advance the publicity funds.

Although the Dick Group got back the distribution rights of the "Terminator" series, Rand was bitter, because originally, they didn't need such a thing at all, but a mistake would cause eternal hatred.

Steven Johnson was naturally pulled out by the media to flog the corpse.

For "Taken", the director was quickly determined, and it was the director of the famous North American film series "Spy Shadow", Lannick.

Logically speaking, director Lannick Aaron should have been promoted to an A-level director after directing the "Spy Shadow" series, which is indeed the case.

The "Spy Shadow" series made Lannick a success and became his signature film. Later, Lannick received two major productions with an investment of over 2 million.

But in the end, Rangnick lost two consecutive games.

Hollywood believes that successful people will always be successful. Maybe a director like Lannick fails once, which is fine, but if he fails continuously, then it is a big problem.

Therefore, Lannick has been very unsatisfactory in the past few years.

Lin Xiao has read several of Lannik's works, what should I say? The "Spy Shadow" series is actually very good. The "Spy Shadow" series is in the style of civilian agents.

In this regard, Lannik has a good control. Lin Xiao also watched the two failed films later.

Coincidentally, there is a film called "Pacific Rescue", which is also a rescue theme, but unlike "Taken", this "Pacific Rescue" is about a cruise ship being hijacked, and there happens to be an ex-wife on the cruise ship. Navy SEAL member.

Then in this hijacking, the protagonist, the former member of the SEAL team, killed all directions, and finally killed all the robbers.

Moreover, during the rescue process, the protagonist and the heroine develop feelings for each other.

It stands to reason that such a plot is actually a Hollywood popcorn-style plot, even if it hits the street, it won't be too serious, but the reality is just the opposite.

This film with an investment of over 5000 million yuan ended up with less than [-] million box office in North America!

It can be regarded as a huge loss.

In fact, rescue and rescue movies are not uncommon in Hollywood. In fact, the "Spy Shadow" series also has similar themes, except that it is about saving the world.

"What do you think is the problem with "Pacific Rescue"?" Lin Xiao asked as soon as they met.

Lannick showed a wry smile, but he had expected this question a long time ago, because he stumbled a lot in this movie. The key point is that "Taken" is also a rescue movie.

So, in fact, the reason why Lannick wanted the movie "Taken" was to prove himself and get up wherever he fell.
