Chapter 526 The Storm Rises (4k)


Chapter 526: The storm suddenly broke out (4k)

On the 20th, the crew gathered, and the preparations were all improved.

Chen Linfeng turned on the computer directly.

He did not convene a press conference for a reporter, but just posted a message on Weibo:

"New film starts."

Then attach a photo of the crew.

This simple and lazy style has attracted a lot of complaints from people online. "I'm getting lazy and lazy. Now I'm starting to shoot a new film. Just just have a photo, right?" "Hey, there's no way, who is favored? All of them are fearless."

"Fengshen is going to open a new film? OK, okay, I like the spirit of starting work if there is a disagreement. I can't wait to watch it."


"What is the theme of the new film? Can you reveal it?"

"..."

Some netizens are also identifying who the people in the photos are.

Apart from Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian, the rest of the actors in the crew are all foreigners. It seems that this new movie was filmed in collaboration with Hollywood.

The photo center, in addition to the actors in the crew, there are also some guests.

After careful analysis, they are all big shots in the industry.

Although no reporter was invited, there were still many people coming to support him.

Han Shanping is a routine, and there are also Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yang Shoucheng, who are all familiar with people in the past.

In addition, there were also Wanda executives, Wang Huiwen, who also arrived at the scene.

Along with Disney China President Zhang Zhizhong and Warner Bros. China President Zhao Fang also came to support.

The movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not a Hollywood movie in the end, but is classified as a co-production film.

Originally, this piece of meat was to be given to Tingfeng Entertainment, but some time ago, Chen Linfeng heard a saying that the superiors, especially the Film Bureau, were very sorry for the good results of "Inception" and in the end they could not Calculate the results of domestic films.

So he inquired about the co-production.

This time I realized that I had lost the matter because of my bad impression of co-production in my previous life.

With domestic capital and actors and directors participating, it already belongs to the category of co-production.

It only depends on whether you apply or not, and whether the above and Hollywood companies recognize it.

Hollywood is still easy to talk about, and co-production films have favorable policies on sharing accounts.

The sharing of the joint films is based on domestic films, and it only depends on how much you can talk about.

For imported films, the accounting is divided at a rate of 25%, which is much worse than that.

As for the issue of nominality, since it is a co-production film, it is naturally considered a Chinese film and a Hollywood film.

Hollywood can still figure out this account.

So, in order to meet the requirements of co-production, the share expected to be invested by Dingfeng Entertainment was finally divided into a large part of it and given to Qilin.

Chen Linfeng temporarily submitted an application and did not ask him to wait any longer. The application was approved in two days.

The films he shoots in the future will probably be carried out in this mode.

The final investment ratio is about 30% for Kirin Company, 25% for Disney, 20% for Warner, 10% for Tingfeng Entertainment, 5% for Huaying, and the remaining 10% for Light, Yinghuang, and Huayi And a group of retail investors.

The production cost of "The Legend of the Demons" is $70 million. In Hollywood, this is at most a medium-investment movie, and to be honest, it is not high.

There are few special effects and the scenes are simple, and the big ones are basically spent on actors' pay.

In fact, it is quite strange for filmmakers in the industry to know the details. After "Inception" achieved a shocking result, Chen Linfeng did not make a big move forward, and then made a relatively low-cost movie. .

At the opening ceremony, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Yang Shoucheng and others were talking about this topic.

"Why doesn't Director Chen make a blockbuster movie? It's not very satisfying. For example, "Inception", the cost of $160 million and the box office is more than 1.2 billion. How cool is that."

In 2012, Huayi made a lot of money from the stock market through capital operations.

The big money comes too easily, which makes Wang Zhongjun feel that the share of "The Shocking Demons" is a bit useless.

If he hadn't been able to cut leeks from the stock market, he might not have been interested in this project.

Wang Changtian glanced at him, unable to see the nouveau riche's face.

You can't even look at Xiao Chen's movies, so you might as well stop making movies.

Yang Shoucheng could hold it in a better position. There was no slight turmoil on his face. He smiled and said, "Director Chen is an idea. Follow his own steps step by step, without being influenced by the outside world. It is the way to achieve great things."

"It's still Mr. Yang who thought it far away and rushed onto the blockbuster. What if he missed the situation, it would be unacceptable for a big director like Director Chen to recover the cost. < br>
They are not novices who suddenly become famous, or nouveau riche who suddenly makes money, so they have to prove themselves."

This is meaningful, because the words are filled with emotions, and the parties involved are all I heard it.

Wang Zhongjun smiled, not caring at all.

Huayi is at the highest point in history, and Wang Changtian must be jealous of him.

Wang Changtian's face turned darker when he saw him like this.

I had no intention of it, and I was so angry that I was like this.

Not far away, Han Shanping chatted with executives from Disney and Warner, and Wang Huiwen from Wanda was also there.

Since there has never been a history of Huaying running Hollywood blockbusters in the schedule, the conversations between these people are still very harmonious.

In the past two years, Wanda has emerged and its strength in theaters has become the number one force in China.

In terms of voice, there is a slight lag, but now he is still a big shot.

I don't look as cautious when I talked to several companies in the circle about the investment amount of "Your Name".

Several people talked about the current issue of theater screening.

"In today's movies, there are more and more tricks to try to schedule films." Wang Huiwen sighed.

"Yes," Han Shanping also understood something, "Speaking of this, many movies are crazy about roadshows, so it's better to start with Xiao Chen."

"Well, Chen The director did this and the effect was good. Of course, he learned it with him. Not only that, the preview and ticket subsidies were carried forward by Director Chen. "

Wang Huiwen unconsciously looked into the distance. Bian Chen Linfeng is filming the first scene of the crew.

"Now, co-production probably has changed because of him."

"It's not only that," said Zhang Zhizhong. "The location of Hollywood movies is gradually moving to China, and this is also the head of Director Chen."

"Does Chen's mind grow up, not only There are always new tricks in the plot of the movie, and there are many new tricks in other aspects."

"I wonder what new tricks will be there in this "Shocking Demons Team"?"


Han Shanping shook his head, indicating that he could not have imagined it. "I don't think there will be any more," said Zhang Zhizhong. "The general trend of Director Chen is now, and there are a lot of people paying attention to the new film without publicity.

I am a theater company and I know this best. As long as I add Director Chen’s name to the script, it can be used as a promotional gimmick. I must take care of it as much as possible in the screening, let alone the movies he made himself. "

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, why would they come over to support people? They still want to establish a good relationship and look forward to continuing to cooperate in the future. br>
The director who has no failed experience is really terrible.

The invincible momentum has been achieved.

In front of the camera, Chen Linfeng was communicating with the two actors about the plot. The two of them on the scene are also acquaintances, Morgan Freeman and Michael Cain (Batman Butler).

All of them are professional veteran actors. No matter how good their personal character is, they are at least very good at work.

Chen Linfeng simply confirmed that the two of them were OK, and his lines were fine, and then he said, "Two, are you going to start?"

The surrounding area is a built-in venue, Michael Cain Threat Morgan to tell him not to continue pursuing the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

It's a very simple confrontation, just one passes.

Everyone applauded, and the good luck to start the computer was there.

Cao Yu complained to the assistant beside him, "It's useless to make such a lottery. I think it's better to worship the director, maybe it's more useful."

The assistant said in surprise, "You haven't started worshiping yet. Ah, we have already provided the director's photos. I pay a visit before filming, and it works."

Cao Yu widened his eyes, "When did you... happen?" >


As a member of Chen Linfeng's team, he began to feel that the director's success rate was a little wrong.

Recently he heard a saying that Chen Dao's luck was blue and purple. If he put it in the past, he would have to be the prime minister if he was not an emperor.

No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!

Thinking of this, he complained about it during the opening ceremony.

How could this group of boys have already started.

"Wait, this statement is not what you said, right?"

"Of course not. We also heard from outsiders. There are more people who worship Director Chen's photos outside. I heard that some students also worship Director Chen's director. Where is it. "

Cao Yu said strangely, "What do students do to him?" "

"You forgot, the director was the top scorer in the college entrance examination back then." "

"I'm I know, but there are so many top scorers in the college entrance examination, why do you just go to our director? ”

"Hi, everyone in the students worships Conan, Confucius, and Einstein. As long as there is a saying, they will try it."

"Okay, the combination of Chinese and Western, the present and the past, reality and virtual characters, It is important to have one, I must have all of them."

After taking a photo in the morning, the opening ceremony will be over.

Chen Linfeng waved his hand and asked these people to disperse first. He still needed to open his business with the guests who came to support him.

Only Han Shanping called and informed these guests in advance and came here by the way.

The others basically heard the news and then contacted them on their own initiative.

It's not easy to refuse, so I simply agreed. "Director Chen, I heard about it. Are you going to accept the project "World of Warcraft" later?"

The one who spoke was Wang Huiwen of Wanda.

Hearing this, everyone present, including Wang Zhongjun from Huayi, as well as people from Disney and Warner, were instantly shocked and all looked at the parties involved.

This is a big project, a very, very large project, enough for everyone to eat.

Wang Zhongjun felt unsatisfied before, and when he heard Wang Huiwen's question, it became reasonable instantly.

This should be Chen Linfeng's next move.

Under everyone's eyes, Chen Linfeng asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

Seeing the movement, Wang Huiwen felt that he didn't look for the right occasion.

You don’t know the feelings.

But at this time, I couldn't change my words, so I could only keep calm, "Did you hear from Hollywood? I thought everyone knew it."

" That's right," Chen Linfeng thought, has Wanda started to contact Legend Pictures now?

Seeing that the person involved did not speak, the bystander became a little anxious.

Wang Zhongjun said anxiously, "Xiao Chen, the one Mr. Wang said... is the "Warcraft" project true or false."

"I haven't decided yet, and I'm not sure whether it's true or false." Chen Linfeng I spread my hands and didn't want to give them a clear letter. "Oh, that's it."

It's OK, it must be true.

Everyone knows what kind of personality Director Chen has, and never speaks full of words, unlike a young man with a strong spirit.

The people present looked at each other and their eyes became cold.

All are competitors!

"Warcraft" is different from other projects. It is a serious director and screenwriter of the IP.

According to Marvel's experience, it is almost impossible to fail.

In the past two years, the concepts of IP and movie universe have been too hot.

However, the world-famous IP, except Marvel, is DC, and "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" have been filmed.

The rest, when I think about it, hey, World of Warcraft just meets the conditions.

This is also a super big IP.

But, as soon as I heard about this project, I knew that Blizzard would take over the majority of the project, and then removed Director Chen's share, as well as Legend Pictures.

As industry insiders, although they are far apart, they have also paid more attention to the situation of the Warcraft project. Legend Pictures, as the producer originally promised, must also occupy a certain share.

After this, there is not much left.

Especially, Disney and Warner, the two Chinese presidents heard the news for the first time, and both thought to send the news back to the headquarters as soon as possible.

The two of them winked behind each other and signaled their assistant to call quickly.

The people who can serve as assistant to the president are all smart, and they quietly exited the crowd and ran away to make a phone call.

Chen Linfeng had a headache. The news was hidden well and it made people burst out.

But well, the contract has been signed almost.

The overall content is similar to what I discussed before. In terms of salary, Chen Linfeng has long been the top-level pay bonus, so there is nothing to say about this.

Chen Linfeng did not mean that the lion spoke big.

What Sister Mei helped him focus on was the investment share.

It is a bit unrealistic to ask for a 40% share.

Therefore, after a period of pulling, the ratio was finally set at 25%.

This can probably guarantee that Chen Linfeng has also broken up some of the rights and copyrights of the series of movies.

No one can eat alone for such a big project, including Blizzard himself.

Originally, it was almost time to announce the news in the industry. I originally wanted to let Blizzard announce it, but I didn't expect that the news would be missed here.

Sister Mei heard the whole story of the incident on the side and had already started contacting Blizzard to communicate related matters.

Since then, everyone has not talked about the "Warcraft" project.

When Chen Linfeng and the various guests and crew were having the start-up banquet together, no one mentioned this again.

Just as the center of a storm is often calm.

As for Chen Linfeng to take on the big ip of "World of Warcraft", a big storm started in the outside world.
