Chapter 1002 Dismissal (24)
"Did you pay back the money? How?"
"Digital Domain was sold again...why bother? After all this trouble...why sold it? Bankruptcy and liquidation?"
Chen Xi said, "Digital Domain's bankruptcy has led to a credit crisis. All major production companies require high deposits before handing over the special effects business to them. In addition, the United States has strict protection of employee rights and interests, and layoffs are very slow." , the cash burning situation is very serious. ’
"Didn't you say you would come to China to develop business?"
"I won't be able to find a way to make a profit for a while...Okay!"
Shen Xudong was quite speechless. It was meaningless to go through such a circle!
It's not meaningless - Xiaoma was unable to continue the plan for a digital special effects base that she discussed with the Huairou government. Chen Xi suggested that a special effects base belonging to Tianmei could be established there...
"The government subsidies have been negotiated, we can just take it directly!"
"...but we have a special effects base in Xiangshan..."
"It's too small there. Haven't you always wanted to build a 5,000-meter studio? Huairou has promised to grant us land!"
"...If I want to build it, it will be a base..."
"Don't worry, I went to see it, the land is huge!"
"...Okay, you go talk to them and ask for more discounts. By the way, our animation industry base can also be set up there!"
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong... suddenly felt quite shameless. He had just passed away and was planning to distribute the inheritance...
But then I thought about it, this thing is not a plan, their cooperation with Huairou has been stopped, and their approach is called taking over!
By the way, let's take over a few more Pony talents, such as Zong Shuai, Liu Heng and the like.
It just so happens that PPTV is seriously lacking experienced people.
Forget about Kong Ergou, this guy graduated from veterinary medicine, and later wrote a book about the underworld, and then relied on bragging to become an international director, an internationally renowned actor, Spielberg in the world of poets, and Rimbaud in the film industry. …
…
Two days after "Fire" was released, with a strong publicity campaign, the online discussion was extremely high, and it seemed to be a phenomenon...
Of course the road show will continue...
However, there has been a new hot spot recently - "Love" represents Chinese films competing for Oscars!
Many people don't understand, why not "Big Buddha"?
The mainland box office also has a good reputation. "Big Buddha" is obviously a higher level than "Love" - "Big Buddha" has a box office of more than 300 million in the mainland. Although "Love" has Gong Li + Director Chen, its box office is only 130 million...
Of course the company has reasons for this choice. "Love" has been in the North American market for three weeks, and its reputation and box office are not bad at each theater. The number of theaters in which it is released has increased to 128...
The European box office also has 8 million US dollars. In comparison, the European and American results of "Big Buddha" can be ignored...
Yes, box office performance does not represent word-of-mouth or professionalism, but it can at least represent taste!
Besides, in the original time and space, "Love" won the best foreign language film, and the heroine Emmanuelle Riva was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress - and even won the British Academy Film Award for Best Actress. main character!
Emmanuelle Riva is a French actress!
Of course, it ultimately lost out to Jennifer Lawrence, who won best actress for Silver Linings Playbook.
However, in this time and space, the opponents of "Love" are Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Judi Dench and Sandra Bullock...
It’s not a big problem to write up a title!
The probability of winning the Best Foreign Language Film is also very high. "Adele's Life", which defeated it, did not get an Oscar ticket at all!
As for "Big Buddha"...
Audiences who are not native Chinese speakers and understand Chinese culture will find it difficult to understand the potential Chinese cultural highlights of "Big Buddha".
The black humor of the character class. Shakya is a homeless man, a worker who fights against the US during the day and a security guard at night, and a man who makes a lot of money and picks up rags...foreigners will most likely not be able to understand these...
So, I chose "Love".
Amou has gone to the United States to cooperate with the public relations team to do some promotion work...
For Shen Xudong, this is just a small episode and does not affect the promotion of "Earth Fire"...
It is true that only a few people pay attention to the Oscars.
The reason why Shen Xudong arranged for "Love" to win the Olympics is very simple - winning an award will help increase Tianmei Media's international reputation!
…
"There is no heroine in "The Wandering Earth"... No, there is a heroine. She is a 14-year-old girl. Can you play her?"
"…Can it be changed?"
"impossible!"
After a day's road show, Shen Xudong just returned to the hotel when he received a call from Da Tiantian, who had ideas for "The Wandering Earth"...
In fact, since yesterday, a lot of people have contacted him and want to make dinner appointments...
Why make a dinner date?
I just value "The Wandering Earth" after "Earth Fire" - today is January 4th. As of now, "The Wandering Earth" has been released for six days, with a cumulative box office of 410 million. Starting from the 1st, it has increased for three consecutive days. Yesterday It even took in a box office of 93 million!
Today is a working day, and "Ground Fire" reported 68 million!
Everyone knows that "The Wandering Earth" is definitely attracting attention...
Some want to invest, some...want to star...
Of course, it's all about beating around the bush, and it's rare for someone like Da Tiantian to directly ask for a role.
"Isn't it easy to change?"
"It can't be changed...I won't lie to you!"
"…All right…"
She was not allowed to read the original work. The original work of "The Wandering Earth" is actually quite cruel:
Scientists predict that the Sun will explode in a helium flash and destroy the Earth. So humans established a coalition government and pushed the earth out of the solar system to a new home. The entire plan will take 2,500 years to be implemented.
However, after living underground for nearly four hundred years, humans could no longer bear it and began to doubt the government's plan to wander the earth.
So I looked for evidence in various ways to prove that the theory that the sun would flash helium was wrong.
After experiencing the civil war between the "Earth Faction" and the "Spaceship Faction", people who did not believe in helium flash became the mainstream, and in the name of the opposition army, they brought the last soldiers who persisted in their duties to the surface of the earth. The soldiers were frozen into ice sculptures …
Just when the opposition was cheering for victory, the sun flashed with helium...
This is too cruel, the movie should still have hope.
Da Tiantian then asked: "What about your company's science fiction films after "Earth Fire"..."
Shen Xudong sighed: "There is really no role suitable for you at the moment..."
"not a single one?"
"There is no way, industrial production relies more on male actors... Didn't "Si Teng" air? I heard the response was very good!"
"...but that's just a web drama..."
"Don't say that, we launched all of Asia simultaneously..."
"Well," Da Tiantian agreed and did not continue. Shen Xudong thought about it for a moment, and then asked: "Can your... company spend 300 million... to make a story about a demon in modern times?"
Da Tiantian was stunned for a moment: "The demon is in modern times?"
"It's just a fantasy film. They plan to make a "Monster Administration". The setting is quite novel... If you are interested, you can work together to make it!"
"It's so expensive at 300 million?"
"...One hundred million is enough. We are preparing to develop web series and movies together..."
