I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Chapter 825 As long as you give enough

Disney seems to be restarting a 1998 animated movie, and plans to make a live-action version. Anxi has already filled her stomach.

But she still provoked a fan to eat slowly.

After getting Lin Dong's slimming tea, she found that her weight would always hover at the standard position.

This standard is the standard of female stars.

Disney movies are pretty good. Lin Dong had to admit this.

Last year's Zootopia sold very well, and the filming was also very good, so Lin Dong went to see it himself.

This year, Qin Beier acted as an agent for their Coco again.

Alas, the wings are hard, and there is no way to stop her from continuing to cooperate with Disney.

But what they are going to do this time is Mulan. I hesitate, thinking that it is difficult for them to make Mulan that conforms to our values. They actually don't understand our culture very well. Anxi said worriedly.

They really don't understand. Many of the cultures we present over there cater to their appetites. They are all distorted, distorted, and then distorted and sent back... You should stop acting in this movie. Lin Dong is not optimistic about such movies.

He would be more than happy to let him invest.

What he is not optimistic about is to evaluate from the perspective of whether it looks good or not, and from the perspective of actors playing.

Then let's not act. An Xi nodded.

I used to think that Hollywood was very high-end, and most of the Chinese-speaking actors thought so, but Maochang bought MGM, which gave people the illusion that Hollywood is nothing more than that.

So what if you are skinny.

We Huaxia can also buy you. There was Legendary Pictures in the past, and MGM in the future. Maybe one day the capital will try its best to take over you, Disney.

The screen turns back to Kleist.

Encouraged by Gary Barber and Mary Parent, they began to discuss with Cat Factory executives how to run MGM's business next.

Or how to spend the more than three billion dollars.

007! Du Qixi said impatiently. In his opinion, one of the biggest benefits of acquiring MGM is that he can get access to the copyright of 007.

Hollywood tough guy movies, such as movies starring muscular Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, etc. are very popular.

However, spy movies with strong hands and quick minds are also popular among audiences.

007 is the code name of agent James Bond, and the film was born in 1962.

When many people take stock of the spy series, they will inevitably put it first, followed by Mission Impossible, Bourne Shadow, Xx Agent, Hurricane Rescue, Red Flame Battlefield, Bean Agents, Kingsman, etc.

In the 007 series, there are 24 main stories and two side stories, most of which are classics.

Subsequent spy films were deeply influenced.

It would be an exaggeration to say that at least half of MGM's $6.2 billion purchase price comes from 007.

Mr. Barber, our understanding of Hollywood is far inferior to that of you and Ms. Parent. Therefore, we would like to ask your thoughts on the 007 series. How do you plan to start the new 007 movie? Pei Qianlong asked.

If there is no acquisition this time, we are actually ready to take out this series of films and cooperate with other companies, because we cannot afford the skyrocketing production costs now. If we want to make blockbusters, we must at least With a cost of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, Spectre cost nearly 250 million U.S. dollars, and the next one can't be lower than this.

Money is not a problem, we need to revitalize this IP, even if the next one doesn't make money or even lose money. Pei Qianlong said.

Gary Barber and Mary Parent were taken aback.

We are just such a money-making thing, and you actually said that it doesn't matter if you make money or not.

How much budget can it do? Mary Parent asked.

Mission: Impossible V has a cost of 150 million US dollars, we can do 300 million US dollars, don't exceed too much, Mr. Daniel Craig should still be able to act? Pei Qianlong asked.

Three hundred million! Mary Parent was stunned for a moment, and then replied: That's really too much, you can definitely invite Daniel Craig, I think as long as you give enough, he shouldn't mind working hard. Two parts.

Bond girl, I like Scarlet Witch. Du Qixi clamored.

He once bragged that when he got the chance, he would definitely cast Elizabeth Olsen in his movie.

Do me a favor and satisfy our President Du, although her salary may be a little higher. Pei Qianlong must give Du Qixi this face, even if he suspects that Du Qixi is just greedy.

In fact, he thought Elizabeth Olsen was really pretty, but in front of certain people, he had to pretend that he didn't even know who Elizabeth Olsen was.

I have no idea where it looks good.

In addition, we hope to have actors from Huaxia appear on the stage. We don't need to ask for many roles, but the image must be positive. Shi Shanshan added.

Of course. Neither Gary Barber nor Mary Parent objected.

For one thing, they bought MGM, and it was impossible to keep Chinese actors out.

Secondly, with the backing of the cat factory, Huaxia will definitely be the most important overseas market for MGM in the future, and everything will be approached in this direction.

By the way, if you think about it from the perspective of the Chinese movie market, I personally suggest buying the movie rights from Blizzard. Mary Parent expressed her opinion.

Warcraft, do you mean to specialize in the Chinese market? Pei Qianlong asked.

Yes, I think, if we want to make Warcraft, we can start from the following aspects...

Mary Parent believes that the first reason why Warcraft is popular in North America is the problem of the cast, basically all of them are second-tier actors, Legendary Pictures is too petty.

For the second film, part of the budget can be put on top of the salary.

Kleist's 3.8 billion budget gave her enough confidence, which made her eager to restart the project.

Second, reuse Hollywood gold medal screenwriters for adaptation.

The key to making a game a classic lies in its gameplay, and movies are used to tell stories. It is very difficult to adapt the plot of a game into a movie.

Because the plot of the game is created for the game, so many places are not as rigorous as novels and comics, and the plot of the first part of Warcraft is really inexplicable, even players and fans can't get excited, so what? To ask non-player audiences.

Third, Mary Parent believes she was a producer on The Hobbit.

She herself has a lot of understanding of this kind of fantasy masterpiece that ordinary Hollywood producers can't comprehend. After seeing the Warcraft movie after its release, she has a lot of things to express.

There are good reasons, Ms. Parent, how are you going to convince Legendary Pictures to give up this IP? Pei Qianlong could understand Mary Parent.

She and Gary Barber have a cooperative relationship, but they also have competition, which can be healthy.

Gary Barber will undoubtedly preside over the overall situation of 007.

So what should she do?

Let's do it?

She doesn't have much interest, so she has to find an opportunity of her own.

In the end, she chose the epic fantasy blockbuster she is good at.

The Warcraft series has a similar world view to The Hobbit. If she can make Warcraft as classic as The Hobbit, her name will definitely be praised by the entire Hollywood.

Actually, Blizzard is very dissatisfied with Legendary Pictures, and has already planned to take back their copyright from Legendary Pictures. We can talk to Blizzard directly. I think I can convince them. Mary Parente said.

In that case, let's go ahead and do it. Pei Qianlong expressed his support.

I have another suggestion. Gary Barber opened his mouth. He may have felt some pressure, so he took the initiative to say: I am still a little thin in Hollywood. We can participate in those big IPs, such as Marvel. , like DC, and whatnot.

Pei Qianlong and Concubine Han looked at each other, both a little proud.

This old man's greatest value is here.

As I said before, when Huaxia Capital enters Hollywood, they can only eat leftovers, and they will not take you to play with the IP that really makes money.

Even any one will share the risk by attracting some allies to participate in investment, production and distribution.

But they just won't bring you outsiders.

After MGM was acquired, it was very easy to be isolated, especially after changing the lion's head.

The role of Gary Barber is to ease conflicts, and he can even take the initiative to resolve conflicts. Through his existence, MGM can be completely integrated into Hollywood.

More than three billion US dollars, MGM waving tickets can earn more.
