Chapter 29 Genius Creativity (1/6)
"What is the current market value of the oil pipe?"
"It's almost 10 billion!"
“…Google is amazing!”
Zhang Junsheng sighed and said, "It requires a lot of capital investment to build a video company. The oil pipe model is difficult to make a profit. Without the support of a large consortium, it will not be able to operate it at all! There is another important point, I cannot solve the copyright issue!"
After a pause, Zhang Junsheng added: "It's too difficult for a Chinese to solve copyright issues in the United States."
"I invested in Facebook, Uber, and I also set up a social networking website myself..."
After a pause, Zhang Junsheng smiled and said, "It may take three or four months for a Chinese company to pass the approval of the acquisition of the American company, but Google passed the review in one week of the acquisition of the oil pipe..."
"…this…"
Chris was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain something.
"This is normal. Google is struggling in China! I'm not complaining, I'm just a little emotional!" Zhang Junsheng looked at Chris: "Let's do it, next month, "Dance out of My Life" will be released, and we will also try to sell simultaneously overseas for the first time. Look at the effect. If you think it's feasible, let's discuss the merger!"
"Zhang, you are the major shareholder. If you want to merge, I have no right to refuse!"
"…I am the major shareholder? I only have forty percent of the shares."
Chris smiled: "…I only have 36%..."
"Disney acquired Pixar, Wall Street is not optimistic about us, and the market value of Lighting Entertainment has dropped to less than 200 million..."
"...Then I will invest another 60 million... Don't get me wrong, I want you to open offline channels. Isn't the Minions coming soon?"
Chris Mellerdandley glanced at Zhang Junsheng: "You seem to be optimistic about the Minions?"
Nonsense, I invested in you just for the Minions!
"The characteristics of Disney animation are true, good and beautiful, Pixar Studios are modern, good and beautiful, and DreamWorks Animation Studios are spoofs, good and beautiful, of course, good and beautiful, but they lack a point that modern people like the most. Do you know what it is?"
Now, not only Chris was interested, but even Wen Ziren and Tian Xiaopeng came over.
"Cute!"
"Cute?"
"It means cute!"
"Give me the drawing board," Zhang Junsheng quickly drew the concept picture of the Minion: "Are you very cheap and cute?"
"Disney and Pixar focus on the story. In addition to the story, we are more focused on the creation of characters!"
"Minions will be popular all over the world!"
Chris was stunned and suppressed his excitement: "...How did you think of it?"
"Water?"
"Our designers have designed several minion concept pictures, which have never been so clear..."
"…Minius, of course, is yellow... Don't you think this is cute?"
"It's very cute... I'd like to ask you if I had known..."
Tian Xiaopeng next to him looked contemptuous: "Have you ever asked Zhang's opinion? Do you know "Kung Fu Panda"? The prototype and creativity are provided by him!"
Chris looked serious: "Zhang, you should do anime!"
"…Forget it, I still think live-action movies are more interesting."
...
In fact, the reason why Lighting Entertainment has never made movies is to establish its style!
"Ice Age" is a masterpiece of Chris Mellandale. At that time, he was still in Blue Sky Studio, but at that time, Blue Sky Studio never determined its own style. Animated features other than "Ice Age" sometimes learn DreamWorks and sometimes Pixar, and finally became a lot of people. Not only that, even money-making projects like "Ice Age" lost the market under the pressure of Disney...
Chris left Blue Sky Studio and founded Lighting Entertainment just to take a different path than Disney and DreamWorks...
""pulp Fiction"?"
Wen Ziren took the script handed over by Zhang Junsheng, looked at it carefully, and then sighed: "What a genius idea!"
"...Brother, don't flatter me, I want to listen to the most realistic view!"
"I can't understand!" Wen Ziren was very honest...
"...You should flatter!"
Tian Xiaopeng smiled happily...
"How come you can't understand it? Seven stories just disrupt the order..."
"Who is the protagonist?"
"Why do you filmmakers care so much about the protagonist? There is a protagonist in every story!"
Wen Ziren looked confused...
“This is a multi-line narrative!”
"Oh, "Crazy Stone"!"
“…Do you know that movie?”
"Of course I know, Palme d'Or!" Wen Ziren gave a thumbs up...
"…Don't do this, you think I don't know, American filmmakers never think Palme darling!"
Wan Ziren changed the topic: "…We are preparing to release "Crazy Stone" in November. If we can win the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar nomination, I believe the box office will not be less than 50 million US dollars!"
“…Then I have to stay in US PR?”
"certainly!"
"...No, there is still something going on in our country!"
"Zhang, Oscar!"
"…Let's do it, I'll finish "Pulp Novel" first, and then we're discussing Oscars..."
It's a lot of temptation. Even though I know there is no chance, I still want to rush up...
"Who are you going to find to star in?"
"Natalie Portman!"
"…you and her…oh…”
Wan Ziren quickly thought of the scandal between Zhang Junsheng and Natalie...
"You're thinking too much, just because she's right!"
"Understand, understanderstand the most important thing is to be appropriate!"
Paralyzing, you will know that you don’t think so when you look at your face!
...
Quentin filmed "Pulp Novel" and found five stars: Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, John Travota, Amanda Pramo, and Tim Ross.
In fact, Bruce Willis and John Travota were in the trough at that time, but no matter how low it was, it would not be able to finish the filming for $12 million!
Bruce Willis, although his star aura has faded a bit, he still has international box office appeal.
It is said that Bruce Willis only received a symbolic salary of $1 million for filming in "Pulp Novels"...
Where is John Travota?
A little out of date, but still a big star...
It also seemed like a symbolic reward of 1 million yuan;
The script of "Pulp Novel" is exquisite and the actors are very important. What's more, Natalie has to find a few actors who deserve her when she participates!
And the cost must be kept within US$40 million, otherwise it will be difficult to make a lot of money...
...
Natalie likes the script "Pulp Novel". The original character of Uma Thurman was given to her. She recommended Hugo Wein. Zhang Junsheng only took a look and denied it: "He is too thin. What do you think of Justin Timberlake?"
“…He’s a singer…”
Yes, Justin Timberlake is too famous and a singer of the Little King level. Zhang Junsheng wants to complete "Pulp Novel" within forty days, so the shooting cycle will have to be shortened to 20 days...
You still have to find some more professional actors!
Chapter completed!
