Chapter 1557 Film Company Plan
Yang Cheng hasn't read Quentin's script yet, but he is very moved by his recognition of Xiao Lizi's vision in choosing the script and his brief narration.
Although New Era Films has a professional department responsible for reviewing projects, since officially entering Hollywood, several major projects have been decided by Yang Cheng himself, and they have all achieved good results.
Therefore, the company has 100% trust in Yang Cheng's vision and decision. As long as Yang Cheng decides to invest in this large project that is likely to invest more than 100 million yuan, no second person in the company will stand up to oppose it. .
Of course, this project was not in Yang Cheng's known memory. He didn't have accurate box office data to rely on. Compared with the previous projects, he was not sure.
For the sake of risk control, perhaps joint investment is the safest way.
And rather than investing in this project, it is better to invest in Xiao Lizi. So far, Xiao Lizi has not made a super bad movie that is bad to the bone, and his ability to single-handedly fight the box office is unique, let alone With the joining of Brad Pitt and Harley Quinn, such a cast lineup is equivalent to holding three kings in your hand, and it is a crime not to stud.
Thinking of this, he said to Xiao Lizi, "Are you sure about the role?"
Xiao Lizi hesitated, "I'm still in the final struggle. As I said, the consequences of designing Bruce Lee's segment are still unknown. I need to discuss it with Quentin before making a decision."
Yang Cheng nodded, "Then I'm not in a hurry. I'll confirm the investment after you make a decision. You know, I trust you more than Quentin."
"Oh, onman, I'm under unprecedented pressure when you say that." Xiao Lizi said emotionally.
Yang Cheng smiled and patted the other person's shoulder, "Relax, follow your own rhythm."
After a pause, he reminded again, "Remember to be careful with Ned, his resentment towards you won't go away for a while."
Xiao Lizi smiled wryly, "I try to be as careful as possible, about Kate..."
He hesitated to speak, Yang Cheng shook his head, "I don't want to know about your affairs and I won't interfere."
Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously, "Thank you buddy, I won't let you down."
Leaving Xiao Lizi's private space for him to think for a while, Yang Cheng returned to the villa and found that the two beauties had disappeared. After asking the housekeeper, he found out that the two went out for a stroll after breakfast.
Yang Cheng thought about it for a while and didn't go out at all. She stayed in the living room and called Donna Lande.
Just in time for New Era Pictures to hold an internal regular meeting, Yang Cheng connected to the video and attended the meeting remotely.
The theme of today's meeting is the introduction of the projects that will be released next year. Generally speaking, the second year's projects will be confirmed through internal communication half a year in advance, so as to facilitate the formulation of plans by various departments and avoid waste caused by internal resource conflicts.
Donna chaired the meeting, "Welcome boss~"
In the video, everyone in the conference room looked at the big screen and applauded Yang Cheng in Hawaiian costume.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about me, continue the meeting."
Donna nodded, pointed to one of the vice presidents in charge of publicity, and said, "You go first~"
The vice president stood up and came to the LCD TV, played the ppt and said, "The first thing to introduce is the movie "How to Be a Latin Lover" directed by Ken Marino, in which Salma Hayek and Mexican comedians play the leading roles. Aheneo de Bez.
"How to Be a Latin Lover" tells the story of a man who hooks up with old women for a living, how to regain the meaning of family after ending a 25-year marriage.
Next up is a biographical film about the legendary rapper 2Pac "All Eyes", and it is currently progressing smoothly, filming and editing at the same time, and it is expected to complete the entire production by the end of the year, I have a clip here, you can take a look~"
The vice president clicked on a video. The total production time of this film was not short, and a new actor was selected to play 2Pac.
It can be seen from the short film alone,
The new actor is eerily similar to 2Pac.
The film is directed by Benny Bohm, who has made music videos for well-known hip-hop artists such as Nicki Minaj, Puff Daddy, and Akon. It should have a good appeal among fans.
The investment is not high at all, and there is offline income, so it should be able to make a steady profit.
The film lasted only a dozen seconds, and there were no special subtitles added. It finished playing quickly. The vice president said, "According to the current arrangement, the film will be available nationwide in June next year. It will take a long screening route to ensure a stable single In the case of the museum’s profit, the screening cycle should be extended as much as possible.”
The vice president looked around and saw that his colleagues had no problem, so he continued, "The third project is a joint venture film. We co-produced it with Columbia Pictures, and the other party dominated. We accounted for 40% of the share, so I hope that the colleagues in the publicity department , we can’t slack off because it’s not a sole proprietorship project, and we can make a lot of profit if it sells well.”
The vice president reminded me at every turn, returning to the topic, "The project is directed by Michael Costa and is called "American Assassin".
This film is co-starred by Dylan O'Brien who once played "Teen Wolf" and the old Batman Michael Keaton. It tells how a young rookie played by O'Brien who was devastated by the death of his girlfriend was trained as an elite CIA agent. In the story, they will partner with Turkish agents to detect the war that terrorists plan to plan in the Middle East, and Taylor Kitsch will play the role of the terrorist boss.
When I was communicating with Columbia Pictures, the other party attached great importance to this project, and it will be one of several key projects for next year. "
Donna Round suddenly interjected, "Currently we are in the honeymoon period with Columbia Pictures, we must pay enough attention to this cooperation."
The news that the company is planning to acquire Columbia Pictures has not yet spread, and only the top leaders know about it, and even the vice president is not aware of the inside story, so Donna Round reminded her with an emphatic tone.
Afterwards, the vice president introduced another film worthy of attention——"Miracle", which is a cure-oriented film, adapted from a children's novel of the same name, and who had performed well in "Room" and "Before Awakening". The real Jacob Tremblay will play a handicapped boy with a facial deformity.
The story depicts the boy's struggle to fit into his new school circle with the help of his parents, played by Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson.
It is said that during the on-site filming, the crew expressed their noses and tears as they were moved.
However, the filming of this project has just started, and it involves the issue of filming locations. It is expected that the entire shooting and production will not be completed until the first quarter of next year. Therefore, in terms of the release schedule, the publicity department can only temporarily schedule it until November next year. The Thanksgiving schedule is more suitable. This kind of family story film.
