Chapter 369 Donna Round's Report (2)

Donna Round's eyes brightened, "Yes, I almost forgot about our overseas resources. Lionsgate itself has a good distribution capability in RB. As a result, the Asian market headed by the three East Asian countries , In terms of distribution capabilities and channels, it even surpasses Universal."

As the former president of Universal Pictures, no one knows Universal's roots better than her. Hearing such comments from her mouth, Yang Cheng is still very proud.

"Fourth, we need a film to become famous. A blockbuster film with global influence will bring us innumerable potential benefits, not only reflected in numbers, but also has a great impact on the branding of our new era film industry. Far-reaching impact, of course, it is best to make this film into a series and make it our logo, just like Harry Potter is to Warner, 007 is to MGM. We lost all our investments, and relying on super IP, we will be able to turn the tide." Donna Lande put forward her vision in high spirits.

Yang Cheng is convinced of this. Since last year, the whole world has been chasing the concept of IP. As Hollywood, which uses IP to the extreme, nothing is more important than IP with a broad mass base. The decline of original movies has already It is an indisputable fact that IP adaptation and IP universe are the general trend, and grabbing IP has become a new round of competition in Hollywood. Unfortunately, Yang Cheng is a bit late in this competition, even if he has enough capital to stand up Chasing, it may not be possible to see the effect in a short period of time.

"So, do you already have a goal?" Pinning your hopes on Donna Lange, she asked, looking at Donna Lange with the hopeful eyes of a child looking forward to a Christmas gift.

Donna Round did not disappoint him, "Of course, since I came to the new owner, why didn't I bring a gift?"

Yang Cheng was overjoyed, "Tell me, I'm looking forward to a project that you value so much."

"Jurassic! Before I left, Universal had been discussing with Spielberg about the plan to restart Jurassic! But the two parties have been arguing over copyright and production costs, and the shooting is far away. Good timing, if the Jurassic IP can really be won, New Era Pictures will have its own signature.

And we can completely start from the Jurassic to create an ancient universe plan, presenting the ancient creatures of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods on the big screen with the most realistic special effects. I think the audience will be crazy, such as , Tyrannosaurus rex vs. ancient giant crocodile? "

Yang Cheng was first surprised by Donna Lande's idea, and then ecstatic. This is indeed an exciting idea, but the next second, his face changed again, and he asked strangely, "The copyright of Jurassic is in the hands of Universal. Right? Are they willing to transfer? Even if they are willing, the transfer fee is probably not a small sum, right?"

"I have also considered this issue. No one has stipulated that other Hollywood companies cannot film dinosaurs or Jurassic related stories. After all, the Jurassic era was not created by Universal. Spielberg discussed with Universal to restart Jurassic. The plan is indeed to adapt it on the basis of the original "Jurassic Park".

But we can completely abandon the original story, find a writer to rewrite a novel about the Jurassic period, and then get all the film adaptation rights naturally, this problem will be solved easily, and in order to ensure the success rate of the project, we can invite Si For Pierberg to be the producer, just give him a certain amount of investment. "

Following Donna Langde's narration, Yang Cheng fully realized that this was a good way to get the best of both worlds. She deserved to be the number one strong woman in Hollywood, and this strategy was too deep.

However, he likes, "If you do this, you won't be afraid of being scolded by your old boss for being ungrateful?"

Donna Round snorted softly, "I have nothing to do to Universal, they were the ones who tried to weaken my power by being immoral first..."

The voice paused, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, in addition to the Jurassic IP, I also plan to work hard in the animation field, we own all the copyright resources of DreamWorks Animation,

This advantage must be utilized to increase capital investment in the animation part. There is a saying that women and children earn the best money in this world. Big animation movies are a lucrative business. We have no reason to hold them. With the golden rice bowl, he went out to find food. "

Yang Cheng didn't go to explore Donna Land's secrets, it didn't matter to him, and she followed her words, "DreamWorks Animation, if used well, is definitely a money-making machine. I heard that Mr. Katzenberg has always wanted to make "Crazy Primal" For the second part of "People", we promised him that he would bring his career to a successful conclusion, and also make us some money along the way."

This behavior of a profiteer made Donna Langde not know what to say, so she had to continue the surprise she brought to Yang Cheng, "Jurassic and animation are our long-term plans, and these two projects are big money eaters." Projects, special effects production cycle is long, we can gradually map it, now we must produce a blockbuster as soon as possible, let Hollywood know us and face us, so that there will be a steady stream of directors and producers with their scripts And the project came here especially."

Speaking of this, Donna Round took out the ipad from her bag, pulled out a document and handed it to Yang Cheng, "For this reason, I browsed through the copyright library of Lionsgate, and found that "The Hunger Games" and "Now You See Me" "It's time to develop a sequel. The investment in the two films has reached the level of blockbusters, but the expected income will not be too high. However, the two films will appear as sequels. There is no lack of fan base, and it is not a problem to ensure a certain level of profitability.

Therefore, I decided to use the sequels of these two films as a stepping stone for the film industry in the new era. In addition, "Fifty Shades of Grey", which has been filmed and transferred to post-production, is expected to be released in the first quarter of this year. The filmed "Mission: Impossible 5" will be released in the middle of the year, as well as successively filmed low-cost films. Before the release of our Jurassic big IP, New Era Films will continue to maintain exposure. If all goes well If so, these films will also bring us a lot of profits, and the new era film industry will also set sail smoothly! "

Donna Lande's report ended here, and Yang Cheng couldn't help feeling that she had dug the right person. Donna Lande's sense of responsibility and planning ability were fully demonstrated in this short meeting of a few hours. Regarding this, Yang Cheng Cheng couldn't even find a place to refute his doubts. Of course, he didn't need to stand up in front of Donna Round.

The extremely satisfied Yang Cheng applauded and encouraged, "Very well, I fully agree with your plan, just let it go, the parent company will not lack financial support for you, and as a brother company, Toutiao app and the newspaper group I will also support the work of the film industry group 100%, the films produced by our group will have the best publicity channels in the United States and even the world, and I look forward to the day when you lead New Era Films to enter the top six in Hollywood!"

Yang Cheng's unreserved support is the greatest blessing to Donna Lande, who is in charge of New Era Pictures, and it is also a great reward for her who has been busy day and night for several months.

Next, the two chatted for a while about the trend of blockbuster movies released in Hollywood recently. Yang Cheng raised another topic, "Donna, now that we have such an opportunity, we can receive the CW TV station in its entirety. Do you think we should .”

Without thinking about it, Donna Round blurted out, "Why not?"

Seeing Yang Cheng frowned, he couldn't help but said anxiously, "Jason, you should understand how important a TV network is to a media group. No matter what the status of CW TV is now, how many cable TV stations have the resources of its wireless TV network?" Incomparable.

Not to mention anything else, the importance of TV stations to our film industry group is self-evident. The important reason why the Sixth National Congress can become the Sixth National Congress is its strong publicity ability. With the blessing of promotional channels covering the whole United States, it will also sell a good box office figure. Of course, the premise is that the film can't be too bad! "

Yang Cheng's face was uncertain, and he sighed, "I understand these too, but..."

But once the CW TV station is acquired, it means that New Era Media will be branded by the donkey party, and in the future it will have to act according to the face of others. This is the last thing Yang Cheng wants to see, because he clearly knows the winner of the next election Whoever it is, this general trend cannot be easily reversed by adding the variable of the Yang family.

Of course, he can’t say these things. 95% of the people in Hollywood are loyal members of the donkey party. There are countless Hollywood stars who will jump out to support Mrs. Zipperton in the future, and Donna Lange is probably no exception. If Yang Cheng tells She is also involved with the donkey party. I am afraid that her capable general will spare no effort to persuade herself to accept the terms of exchange.

Looking up at Donna Lande's expectant gaze, she still shook her head firmly, "This matter is of great importance, and I have to think it over carefully."

Donna Round was a little disappointed, but she didn't say much. It's inconvenient for her to say more about things decided by the big boss. The workplace rules are universal.

"OK, then, I'll take my leave first, and I have to catch a flight back to LA in an hour." Donna Lande put away her ipad, got up and straightened her clothes, and said goodbye to Yang Cheng.

Feeling ashamed, Yang Cheng suggested, "When the group has sufficient funds, it is time to purchase a few business jets for the leaders of various subsidiaries who need to travel frequently. Let's take my plane back today."

Donna Round would occasionally make a small joke, "Am I working for the benefits of my colleagues in the company? I can't say no to such a good thing!"

Yang Cheng stepped forward and hugged Donna Langde, bursting out with strong confidence, "Don't worry, what I promised will definitely be done."

Donna Round waved her hand with a smile, and said in a teasing tone, "Waiting for your good news, boss!"
