I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Chapter 822: Just give enough

"Disney seems to be restarting a 98-year-old animated film, planning to make a live-action version." An Qian has already filled her stomach.

But she still provokes a fan to eat slowly.

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

This standard is the standard of female stars.

"Disney movies are pretty good." Lin Dong must admit this.

Last year's "Crazy Animal City" sold very well, and it was shot very well. Lin Dong went to see it by himself.

This year, Qin Beier represented their "Dream Traveling".

Alas, the wings are hard, and she can't stop her and Disney from continuing to cooperate.

"But what they are going to do this time is "Mulan". I hesitate to make it difficult for them to make Mulan that conforms to our values. They actually don't understand our culture." An Qian said with concern.

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

If it is for him to invest, he is still more happy.

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

"Then stop acting." An Qian nodded.

I used to think that Hollywood was very tall, and most Chinese-speaking actors thought so, but the Cat Factory's acquisition of MGM gave people the illusion that Hollywood was nothing but this.

What if you are cowhide.

We, China, can also buy you, with Legendary Pictures before and MGM in the back. Maybe someday the capital will make a lot of effort and you will also be collected by Disney.

The screen turned back to Kleist's side.

Gary Barber and Mary Parente were inspired and began to discuss with the seniors of the cat factory how to run MGM's business next.

Recommended, really good, it is worth installing, after all, you can cache and read books offline!

In other words, how to spend more than three billion US dollars.

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

Hollywood's tough guy movies, such as those starring muscular man Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dwayne Johnson, and Van Diesel are very popular.

However, the spy movies that have the right hand and quick mind are also popular among the audience.

"007" is the codename of Agent James Bond, and the film was born in 1962.

Many people put it in the first place when counting the secret agent series, followed by "Mission Impossible", "The Bourne Shadow", "Xtreme Agent", "Hurricane Rescue", "Red Flame Battlefield", and "Dog". Agent, "Ace Agent" and so on.

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

Later spy films were deeply affected.

To put it in exaggeration, at least half of MGM's US$6.2 billion purchase price comes from "007".

"Mr. Barber, our understanding of Hollywood is far less than you and Ms. Parent, so we would like to ask your thoughts on the 007 series, how do you plan to start the new 007 movie?" Pei Qianlong asked.

"Without this acquisition, in fact, we are ready to take out this series of movies and cooperate with other companies, because we can't afford the soaring production costs. If we want to shoot explosive models, at least we must With a cost of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, "The Ghost Party" spent nearly 250 million U.S. dollars, and the next one cannot be lower than this."

"Money is not a problem, we need to bring this IP back to life, even if the next one does not make money or even lose money." Pei Qianlong said.

Gary Barber and Mary Parent were taken aback.

We are just such a money-making gadget, and it doesn't matter whether you make money or not.

"How much budget can be achieved?" Mary Parent asked.

"Mission Impossible V is a cost of 150 million U.S. dollars. We can achieve 300 million U.S. dollars. Don't overdo it too much. Should Mr. Daniel Craig still act?" Pei Qianlong asked.

"Three hundred million!" Mary Parent froze for a moment, and then replied: "That's too much. You can ask Daniel Craig. I think as long as you give enough, he shouldn't mind fighting again. Two parts."

"Bond girl, I like Scarlet Witch." Du Qixi exclaimed.

He once boasted that when he had the opportunity, he must let Elizabeth Olsen play his own film.

"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 for others.

In fact, he thinks Elizabeth Olsen is really good-looking, but in front of some people, he must pretend that he doesn't even know who Elizabeth Olsen is.

I don't know what looks good at all.

"In addition, we hope that there will be actors from China on stage. There is no requirement for the number of scenes, but the image must be positive." Shi Shanshan added.

"Of course." Gary Barber and Mary Parente were not opposed.

As soon as they bought MGM, it was impossible to shut out Chinese actors.

Secondly, with the backing of Cat Factory, China will be the most important overseas market for MGM in the future, and everything will be approached in this respect.

"By the way, if you think about it from the perspective of the China Film Market, I personally recommend buying the film rights from Blizzard." Mary Parent expressed her opinion.

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

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

Mary Parente believes that the first reason why Warcraft is hitting the streets in North America is the problem of the cast. Basically all of them are second-line actors. Legendary Pictures is too small.

In the second part, it is possible to put part of the budget on top of the salary.

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

Second, re-use Hollywood gold medal screenwriters for adaptation.

The key to the game becoming a classic is gameplay, and movies are used to tell stories. It is very difficult to adapt a game's plot into a movie.

Because the plot of the game is for the game*, so in many places, it will not be as rigorous as novels and comics, and the plot of the first part of "Warcraft" is really inexplicable, even if the players and fans are not excited, how can they ask The non-player viewing group.

Thirdly, Mary Parent thinks that she once served as the producer of The Hobbit.

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

"The reason is very good, Ms. Palente, how do you convince Legend Pictures to give up this IP?" Pei Qianlong can understand Mary Palente.

She and Gary Barber have a cooperative relationship, but there are also competitions between them. This competition can be benign~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Gary Barber will undoubtedly preside over the overall situation of "007".

So what should she do?

Lay hands?

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

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

The "Warcraft" series, which has a similar world view to "The Hobbit", if she can make "Warcraft" as classic as "The Hobbit", her name will inevitably be celebrated throughout Hollywood.

"In fact, Blizzard is very dissatisfied with Legendary Pictures. It has already planned to take back their copyright from Legendary Pictures. We can talk to Blizzard directly. I think I can convince them." Mary Parent said.

"If that's the case, let's just do it." Pei Qianlong expressed support.

"I have another suggestion." Gary Barber said. Maybe he felt some pressure, so he proactively said: "I'm a bit thin in Hollywood. We can participate in those big IPs, such as Marvel. , Such as DC, and what else."

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 China Capital enters Hollywood, it can only eat leftovers, and the IP that really makes money will not let you play.

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

But people just won't take you outsiders.

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

Gary Barber's role is to alleviate contradictions, and even take the initiative to resolve contradictions. Through his existence, MGM can be completely integrated into Hollywood.

With more than three billion US dollars, MGM, waving the ticket, can make more.
