Chapter 394 The Much-Anticipated Blockbuster Project
The Smiths are a big hit, and White Pictures naturally needs to make persistent efforts. William White's goal is naturally the 007 series.
Due to the acquisition, many 007s in history did not appear. In fact, William White didn't intend for them to appear either.
Fleming's novels are wonderful, but they have their limitations. It is naturally good for you to read it as a novel, but it may not be suitable to directly adapt it into a script.
When readers read a book, they really have a sense of substitution. You can directly change it into a movie, but it may not be necessary. William White believes that this thing needs to be close to the times. Since the current public enemy is Mao Zi, let’s continue Mao Zi.
The news that White Pictures has restarted the 007 series is really surprising. You know, since White Pictures acquired the copyright of the 007 series, no 007 has been filmed.
Many people are guessing what William White's attempt to acquire is. Could it be that this guy deliberately refrigerated this series because he didn't want to see John Bull?
You know, readers of this era still like spy war themes very much. Several famous novels were born in this era.
In fact, if you think about it, you should understand that since it is a cold war, of course it is a mutual black hand. Are you still planning to fight with open flames?
White Films refrigerated 007, which naturally caused dissatisfaction. Fortunately, White Films also made it clear that the company's follow-up films will no longer use Fleming's novels.
This news was considered an uproar at the time. Anyway, those book fans are very dissatisfied. They agreed that it is a big mistake for you to adapt it without authorization, and it is even more wrong to discard it directly.
William White wanted to tell them, all I want is the frame of 007, just the character of this guy. As long as you have this thing, it will be the same as a series, and you can make as many movies as you want.
Anyway, 007 can't be killed, and the evil forces can't be killed. Shoot the hair now. After a few years, you can shoot silly big wood, and then you can shoot Erpang. This kind of big production that can be played once every few years, why do you have to shoot one episode every year, there is absolutely no need for this.
This big move by White Pictures has not only shocked Hollywood. In a sense, 007 and the Smiths are quite similar. This type of movie can be placed with advertisements without being too obtrusive.
There are many people who are interested in this point. Even if they are not sure about the IP of 007, they still believe that they will not stumble in the hands of William White.
"Lucas, you have thought it through, aren't many people still hesitating?"
"Don't hesitate, those guys are idiots. If you only look at so many advertisers, you won't lose money." William White smiled wryly, which is the truth.
"The investment is huge, at least 50 million, and let me tell you, it is impossible to have such a sensation as the Smiths. Like the ET aliens, this is just a case, and there is no possibility of replication."
"Ha, I don't know this yet? If each film has hundreds of millions of dollars, there won't be just a few companies investing in the film."
"Okay, okay, don't ask your special effects company to ask for a price, take the script." After finishing speaking, he drove away directly, and his actors hadn't been settled yet.
The hero is naturally Pierce Brosnan. In fact, this 007 is the most British style. As for the others, I really can't see any difference from denim.
What troubled William White was that the back house seemed a little restless. Sophie is naturally popular, so of course she doesn't care, everyone knows that a Bond girl is a vase, so it's impossible for her to be a vase in her current position.
She didn't care, but other girls cared very much. Especially Natasha, the role of the vase is really suitable for her.
After much deliberation, it seems that she is the most suitable. Although the decision is easy to make, the appeasement work is also a headache. After someone signed countless unequal conditions, he returned to his villa with a backache.
William White was a little depressed, buddy, should you learn from the old guys in Hollywood. Just ask your subordinates to send it over, why should you be so busy.
Pierce Brosnan was naturally extremely excited when he heard the news. Although his acting career has developed well, he has just set foot on the big screen. Before that, he was just a TV drama.
In Xiangjiang, there is not much difference between the two. Although TV stars make less money, they are more famous than those who make movies. Well, Xiangjiang's movies belong to the fast food type, and they mainly focus on efficiency. It is really difficult to control the quality of a movie that can be completed in less than a month.
Hollywood is very different. The new generation of 007 project was established, and the comprehensive planning immediately started, from the soundtrack of the movie to various props, so don't be too busy.
It is not easy for others to express their opinions on the choice of this protagonist. In fact, William White's films have always been like this, and there are very few castings in the true sense.
"Pierce, I know you're short of money, but don't take those ads."
"I see, Henry, can you ask White Films?"
"Of course, once they confirm the advertiser, you can do whatever there is no conflict with. In fact, those companies may come to you. I don't know what you are anxious about."
"Sorry, I have no experience."
"Remember, you've got an enviable opportunity. Don't mess around. If you don't understand anything, ask me first." Pierce Brosnan's manager was speechless, although he could understand. It's really not easy for a child in a single-parent family.
It's just that not one or two were expelled for randomly accepting advertisements. These agents naturally knew the reason. For example, this time, since BMW spent a lot of money, the protagonist naturally couldn't accept other advertisements.
Other film companies don't take advantage of you, of course you need to be smarter. It's hard to say how it is usually, but when you go to the set, try not to drive a Mercedes-Benz.
This kind of rule was originally implemented by White Films, but now, there are more and more companies that have such requirements.
"Si, bad guy, how long has it been since you touched me?"
"Don't you know, I've been very busy with work recently, tsk, you are quite empty."
"Hmph, in today's Hollywood, who dares to provoke me. It's all been labeled, so what if I'm not empty?"
"Okay, okay, my fault, you say you, the producer is not very good, why do you still want to be a vase?"
"I'm just afraid that people will forget me." After a faint sigh, the sound of conversation ceased in the room, replaced by some strange meowing. I really don't understand how many kittens the richest man has.
William White couldn't answer Natasha's words, saying that he likes the new and dislikes the old, it seems that there are some.
Well, there are only a few of them. To be exact, William White loves the new and never tires of the old. Like a greedy child who always wants to bring toys to his home, even if he doesn't have enough time to play with them.
