The movie "Villain Storm" lost the box office;

Dreamworks suffered a loss;

Spielberg was once again verbally abused by countless movie audiences;

No matter which news it is, it is unfavorable for DreamWorks, but for Hollywood's film companies, it is definitely a joyful and joyful thing.

"We have lost money, why can you make money?!"

This is the voice of many colleagues, and so is Zhu Ke.

Now the first-day box office of the movie "Confrontation Storm" is only $4.2 million, of which more than $3 million comes from the pre-sale box office before the movie is released. All this shows that DreamWorks has suffered this time.

Moreover, Spielberg was desperate to make DreamWorks list on the US stock market, and this time it was completely desperate.

At least, he won’t expect this year!

Moreover, the decline caused by "Confrontation Storm" has also greatly affected DreamWorks' plan to go public next year.

Miramax President Harvey Weinstein: "Spielberg made a big joke this time!"

Shei, the boss of Xinyi Film Industry, said: "The world's largest director? He still thinks that just his name can make a big deal? The times have been different!"

Undoubtedly, many people are happy to see the failure of DreamWorks, which echoes the interests of the vast majority of people.

After all, the cake in the market is just that small.

......

The next day.

At noon.

Under the escort of a group of security personnel, Zhuke arrived at the "Elyval" restaurant on time, and many people watched during this period. After all, he could hire such a large number of security personnel to accompany him, and a discerning person could tell that he was a big shot at a glance.

"It's Mr. Juke Wald, no wonder there are so many security personnel accompanying you."

It is obvious that Zhu Ke has been recognized.

Before the 9/11 incident broke out, Zhuke had a large number of security personnel. At that time, there were many wealthy people who joked at Zhuke in person, "Man, you are too afraid of death."

However!

After the 9/11 incident broke out... no more wealthy people joked about Zhuke.

After their fear, they quickly contacted a professional security company and hired a large number of elite security personnel to protect their safety anytime, anywhere.

They are also afraid of death!

Nearly 3,000 people were killed or injured in a 911 incident, which completely scared these people!

"Hi, Zhuke, welcome you."

As soon as she entered the restaurant, Shea, the famous Hollywood new line film owner, enthusiastically gave Zhuke a hug.

The two sat down in the restaurant.

"Shay, today I am so inviting me to have lunch. Shouldn't you be busy with the release of the "Lord of the Rings 1" movie recently?"

Zhuke asked with a smile.

Shay nodded: "I'm busy with work, but this movie affects me to treat you to dinner. After all, I have to win over big names like you, right?"

"Come on."

Zhuke waved his hand and smiled, "Behind your new Line Film Industry, is the Disney Group, one of the top six Hollywood players? You still need to win over me? Man? You should be sincere and don't play tricks with me."

Hearing this, Xie Yi was not angry either? Instead, she smiled embarrassedly.

Zhuke guessed it right, Shay is a typical master who will not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble.

He invited Zhuke to have lunch together this time? Naturally, he asked Zhuke for something.

Shay looked solemn and said solemnly: "Zuke? I have a film project in my hand urgently needs development? But I lack funds and want to invite Wald Pictures, under your name, to participate in the development."

“…”

Zhuke raised his eyebrows: "Tell me?"

"The Lion Witch Wardrobe!" Shea said the name of the movie project.

Well?

Zhu Ke was stunned immediately, and then Shay began to slowly tell the general content of the movie.

"The Lion Witch Wardrobe" is a children's adventure fantasy novel published by British writer C. S. Louis in 1950. Since its publication, although its influence is average, it has accompanied the growth of many teenagers within the UK.

Of course, the novel is only very influential in the UK.

It has not had a great influence in America. Compared with the popularity of the Harry Potter book, it is completely a slight witch.

The novel tells the story of the Second World War? London, England was threatened by air strikes, and all children were evacuated to the countryside for refuge? Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, the four brothers and sisters of the Pevinci family, were arranged to temporarily live in the country house of an old professor, Digo Rikirk.

Among this vast mansion with many rooms? The little sister Lucy discovered a strange magic wardrobe that could actually lead to the magical fantasy country - Narnia!

Narnia in the magical world? This was originally a land of peace? But unfortunately, it was spelled by the white witch and turned into a frozen world. Aslan, the leader of the lion human, who represents justice, fought fiercely with the witch, and finally broke her spell, which restored Narnia to its former beauty and vitality.

Undoubtedly, this is a novel with fantasy, magic, and adventure.

"It turned out to be "The Legend of Narnia"!"

Zhu Ke thought to himself.

At first, when Shay said it was the name "The Lion Witch, Wardrobe", Zhuke didn't react because the title of the film was "Legend of Narnia" when it was released in the Great Heaven.

Of course Zhuke knew about this movie.

And I've seen it more than once.

The film was released in 2005 with a production cost of up to US$180 million. It is definitely a first-tier A-class commercial production in Hollywood. Once released, it quickly became popular all over the world and won a global box office of more than US$780 million.

Man, $7.8 for the box office!

In terms of the theme of magical fantasy films, "Legend of Narnia" has achieved great success after "Harry Potter".

As the producer, Disney Group was also quite shocked, so it quickly started the second movie of the project with a larger investment.

However, the second movie of "The Legend of Narnia" failed!!!

The compensation was so miserable!

The scripts that have been written long ago have been completely sealed by the angry Disney Group, and the fate of the sequel to the project was completely killed.

"The film and television copyright of "The Lion Witch" is now in your hands?"

Zhu Ke was slightly surprised.

In Zhuke's memory, the film and television copyright of the novel should be in the hands of Disney Group, not New Line Film.

"hehe!"

Shay curled his lips and said, "Of course Disney wants to steal the film and television copyright of "The Lion Witch Wardrobe" from me, but as long as I don't agree, they can't take it away! Even though Disney has many shares in my new line company, I still firmly control the management power of the new line."

As she spoke, Shay was proud.

He agreed to accept Disney Group's investment in Xinyi Film, but he really put it together with Disney Group. He obtained financial support and Disney's distribution channels, but he always controlled the advantage in terms of management rights of Xinyi Film.

Disney Group was very angry, but there was no way to deal with him.

"You can develop the movie project "The Lion Witch Wardrobe" by Xinyi Film Company, why did you come to me?"

Zhuke said in confusion.

Zhu Ke naturally likes projects that can make money, but he must understand the situation inside before talking about it.

“…”

Shay's face suddenly froze. After a while, he said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. After all, you are so wise and intelligent."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke shook his head and said, "Boy, you are not honest! If you don't tell the truth, then we will have no chance of talking."

Shay's face was a little embarrassed.

Finally, he told the truth.

"According to my investment contract with Disney that year, the film and television copyright of the novel "The Lion Witch" cannot be launched at the end of 2001, then the ownership of this project will be automatically adopted to Disney."

"You know, my new Line Films' funds are currently concentrated on the Lord of the Rings project, and there is no extra fund to develop the Lion Witch Wardrobe, so I'm here to find you. And your film company has the success of "Harry Potter" in terms of magical fantasy projects, which can greatly ensure the possibility of success of the project."

......

After the meal is over.

Zucker called a phone number.
Chapter completed!
