Chapter 102 The Hangover Is a Success, and Pirates of the Caribbean Is Produced

Chapter 102 The Hangover is a success, and Pirates of the Caribbean is finished!

"Ask Xueyou to play Nie Wen?" Zhang Guorong hesitated for a moment, then showed a look of realization.

Yes!

He is very suitable!

Although Zhang Xueyou is famous for singing and is also named one of the four kings of Hong Kong Island music, he has also developed well in the film industry.

Moreover, he can be called a golden supporting actor in the Hong Kong Island film industry.

He has played many classic supporting roles.

For example, Brother Wuying in "Carmen in Mongkok" is the source of the emoticon package of "Eat shit, you".

There is also Ouyang Quan, the captain of the East Factory in Xu Ke's "Swordsman", Wai Zai in "Days of Being Wild", Ya Ca Su in "Once Upon a Time in China", Hong Qigong in "A Chinese Odyssey", etc.

He has been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Academy Awards 6 times and won 2 times.

It was not until 2001, five years after his retirement, that he returned to play the leading role in "Men at 40", and began to focus on leading roles instead of supporting roles.

However, he had not made a new movie for two years after "Men at 40", and if he was approached with the script of "If Love", he might be persuaded to play the role.

Seeing Wu Yuan suggest Zhang Xueyou to play Nie Wen, Zhang Guorong was relieved, thinking that he had misunderstood Wu Yuan before, and accepted his explanation.

"He is indeed quite suitable." Zhang Guorong nodded in agreement.

"How about it? Consider signing with my company, and I will make this movie for you. Wu Yuan smiled and said: "And there will be better scripts for you in the future."

"You may not believe this, but in my opinion, the script of "If Love" is just average, and I will definitely write a better script for you in the future."

"I believe it. "Zhang Guorong looked at Wu Yuan seriously.

If others said this, he would just think it was bragging, but Zhang Guorong really believed what Wu Yuan said.

Because Wu Yuan has been known for his ability to write scripts since his debut, and he has written several movie scripts very well.

A script like "Departures" may not be written by Zhang Guorong even if he is given another ten years.

"Let me think about this matter seriously." Zhang Guorong took back the script of "If Love", "Do you mind if I take this script back? "

He would definitely go back and discuss the matter of joining Light and Shadow Times with Tang Sheng.

But he personally tends to join, not because Light and Shadow Times is so good, but because it is just a newly established company.

The main reason is that the boss Wu Yuan is awesome. He has the support of China Film Group in the mainland, and he is one of the six guests of honor in Hollywood. He can direct Hollywood A-level blockbusters with an investment of over 100 million US dollars!

His connections directly connect both sides of the ocean, and he can win awards in Europe. It can be said that the world film market has opened its doors to him.

Follow him, there is no You will definitely be able to make it to Hollywood, which is a benefit that no domestic director or even film company can give.

Zhang Guorong is not short of money, but he really lacks such a channel for advancement.

The two talked about the script for a while. Wu Yuan knew that this matter could not be decided in a short time, so he stopped while he was ahead.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the time was almost up, and the two left Houhai together.

When passing Yinding Bridge again, Wu Yuan stopped on the top of the bridge, with his hands on the edge of the bridge, looking at the lake surface wrinkled by the breeze, and said lightly: "Mr. Zhang, make a decision as soon as possible."

"Now China, since joining the WTO, everything has been on the fast track."

"Just like Houhai, there are only a few bars now, but in a year, there will be 20 to 30 bars opening here."

"The same is true for the film industry, which is developing rapidly and changing with each passing day."

"Time waits for no one. ”

After chatting with Zhang Guorong for an afternoon, Wu Yuan returned to the rehearsal of the drama.

The acting skills of several main actors have made significant progress under Wu Yuan's hands-on teaching and repeated rehearsals.

The preparatory work for the early crew of "Your Name" has also officially begun.

The crew is composed of more than 20 company employees who were sent by Wu Yuan to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew for further study and returned, and 20 to 30 staff members were seconded from the Beijing Film Studio, and it was considered to be complete.

Industrial Light and Magic, according to Wu Yuan's requirements, is already doing the early special effects design.

Mayday is also working day and night to create dubbing for "Your Name", and will send Wu Yuan a sample as soon as there is any harvest.

Everything is proceeding steadily and orderly.

When it came to the end of May, not only had the rehearsal of "Romeo and Juliet" been completed for several The most perfect state that an actor can show, and two good news came from the other side of the ocean.

The first good news is that the North American box office of "The Hangover" has exceeded 200 million US dollars. Although the stamina of this movie has almost come to an end, Guangshidai has no way to arrange overseas releases.

But the North American box office of 200 million alone is enough for Wu Yuan to make a lot of money, and John is also laughing. The 3% box office share has made him directly achieve financial freedom.

After that, there will be the sale of overseas distribution rights, the sale of DVD copyrights, etc., which can also bring Guangshidai a lot of income.

Although all this money will not be fully received until next year at the earliest, John, who received this good news, can't wait to buy a good house for his family.

He even strongly recommended Wu Yuan to buy a house in the famous Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.

This is the most prestigious award ceremony center in Hollywood, and superstars from all over the world have purchased properties here.

Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and others all own luxury houses here, and China's Cheng Long also has a house in Beverly.

John believes that his boss, as one of the famous directors in Hollywood, now has an independent film production company, and should also be equipped with a house in Beverly Hills to live up to his status!

John is more active than Wu Yuan, and even took the initiative to check out the location for him and chose a luxury house located on the hillside of Beverly Hills.

This house has a construction area of ​​18,000 square feet (more than 1,670 square meters), covers an area of ​​1 acre, and covers an area of ​​about 4,000 square meters. It is just waiting for Wu Yuan to come to the United States and take him to see the house.

The price is a bit expensive, nearly 30 million US dollars.

Who said that Americans don't care about real estate and don't speculate in real estate?

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan scolded John on the phone. A house covering more than 4,000 square meters is not a mansion but a manor!

What did he buy it for? He can't stay in the United States for a few months a year!

But Wu Yuan was indeed tempted, and asked John to help look at other properties for sale in Beverly Hills. It doesn't have to be too big, an area of ​​500 to 600 square meters will do.

Well, he is a little arrogant. The box office of the movie I produced has reached 200 million US dollars. Can't I enjoy it?

Every time I come to the United States, I stay in a hotel. He is tired of staying there. It's good to have a house of his own!

In addition, the second good news is that the post-production of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has entered the final stage.

The special effects production of this movie started before the filming started. After the filming started, the special effects team followed the group throughout the whole process. After the filming was completed, post-production synthesis and rendering were done. Now 90% has been completed.

It is expected that the post-production will be completed by June.

Disney is in a hurry to release this fantasy adventure blockbuster in the summer to attract a large number of young high school and college students to the cinema.

So the movie should be released in mid-July, and various pre-promotions have been carried out in North America.

Before the release, Disney plans to hold a grand premiere for the movie in their Disneyland. The premiere date has been set, July 6!

Wu Yuan, who received the notice, must rush to the United States before July 6 to attend the premiere!
