Chapter 1530

The brocade Book Team waited for about a week. Simon finally took a few hours on September 3 to discuss the next development of brocade book with the public.

Once again, I answered some doubts caused by Ren Jingxi's suggestions from Simon last week. Others are mainly several specific projects that Kam Shu will try next. Four films have been preliminarily determined, one more than those previously discussed by several Kam Shu departments. Moreover, they basically surround the suggestions in Simon's email, This time, all the specific films, including the name, have been finalized.

The first is the Dragon King, the God of Di Renjie.

Yes, it's the one directed by Xu laoguai, and I'm going to invite Xu laoguai to direct this time.

Lao Xu tried to follow Dali into Hollywood two years ago, but failed. At present, he has returned to Hong Kong again. Coupled with the trough of Hong Kong films in recent years, there will be no great obstacles for the two sides to start cooperation. Compared with the accommodation of mainland film and television companies to Hong Kong filmmakers, this brocade book can still take the initiative.

After all, without initiative, there will be no cooperation.

Xu laoguai is suitable for this film and can also make masterpieces. However, if he makes a mess, it can also make people lose their nosebleed. Just like once, the two Shushan films before and after laoguai can be called obsession, but they failed. So Simon had the idea of Shushan before, and he never meant to implement it.

In short, this time, Simon's expectation is that he can reach the previous level without seeking a breakthrough, but he can't make a mess.

The second is "Chinatown detective".

In fact, films similar to the mode of overseas investigation have appeared in the original time and space around this period. It is still a very famous one, that is, the introduction to Tokyo starring Tony Leung. Later, the introduction to Seoul and the introduction to Europe were filmed many years later.

At least first, there should be no commercial loss, otherwise there will be no second two.

Of course, the strategy series is only similar to the detective series in terms of mode. The plot structure and character settings are very different. It can only be said that the creativity of the film and television industry has never been completely new. The key is to see whether the old bottles of new wine can be done well.

Therefore, compared with the clear thinking of the Dragon King, the God of Di Renjie, Simon has to hesitate a lot about the investigation in Chinatown.

The main reason is that the story of the Dragon King of God doesn't have high requirements for the starring role. The core is Xu laoguai's unrestrained imagination. At present, it's easy to find a suitable starring role to support the project. As for the Chinatown detective, the nephew of the former couple is easy to say that suitable students are easy to find, but uncle, well, even if it's a watch, it's not easy to fit.

In addition, there was a director, Simon, who didn't have eyes for a while.

In fact, I think of the directors of the strategy series, but because they are completely two styles, think about it or forget it.

We can only work out the script first and think about others slowly.

The third project, "painted skin".

The former first director directly passed, and the creator immediately determined that a Mongolian director with black prefix had a box office gap between the two "painted skin". The former was more than 200 million, and the latter directly tripled the box office to 700 million. Even with the rapid growth of China's film market, we can see the commercial film skills of Mongolian directors.

In fact, Simon had similar plans at the beginning, so when the other party came to Hollywood to communicate, he arranged for him to go to the trilogy of the Lord of the rings, which danilis liked very much.

At present, the other party is making a low-cost martial arts, which can be regarded as the result of Simon's quietly arrangement, because the other party started a low-cost martial arts, called "laughing at the knife", with a cost of 6 million and a box office of 20 million. Although the budget is tight, it is also very imaginative.

This is an adaptation of an original martial arts novel from this time-space butterfly. It is called Tongtian spectrum. It tells about the reappearance of Tongtian spectrum, which is both a treasure map and a martial arts secret script every 60 years. It has attracted all kinds of people in the Jianghu to compete. All kinds of Mantis Catch cicadas and yellow finches are behind.

The story is not too novel. Simon specially asked someone to send the completed sample film lens, which is better than the other party's Dao Jianxiao.

So the director of "painted skin" was decided directly.

The last one is the non revolutionary theme theme that Simon talked with Ren Jingxi at the weekend of St. Lucas. The names are also in the order of the past. The first one is me and my motherland.

This project still plans to cooperate with China film, mainly considering the appeal of China film, which can allow many actors to come and play for free.

Um.

Scheduled for next year's national day, the budget will not be too high compared with the first three plans to invest 80 million level heavy bombs, about 20 or 30 million yuan. Simon didn't say much about the specific excerpts. He was an "outsider". It would be too strange to say too much, so he asked the brocade team to choose the materials themselves.

In addition to the four items, Simon gave another suggestion to brocade book during the discussion.

In China, next, a group of film actors should be specially trained. In short, they should only appear on the big screen as far as possible to let the audience see each other. The first idea is that this is a film actor.

In fact, it's roughly like Hollywood.

Although Hollywood will not have absolute boundaries in all circles of film, television and music, each circle is still very obvious.

As for the reasons, from a commercial point of view, this actually involves the consumer mentality.

If the audience can see someone in any TV play or variety show, and the other party appears on the big screen, it will easily make the audience feel that the style of the film seems not enough. Therefore, for many people, they often look at the list of main creators and probably have no idea of buying tickets.

Fan Ye was once the most typical in China.

Compared with other Chinese actresses, fan Pang's films are definitely a lot, but even some of the good reviews are difficult to leave too much influence on the audience. The public remembers each other more, perhaps only the red carpet or the little servant girl in huanzhu.

Why?

The reason is that it is so mixed that there is no clear positioning in the public's mind. Even some people think that fan Pang lived only on the red carpet, and there seems to be no film and television works.

Certainly not.

Of course, this practice of flowering on all sides also makes a lot of money. However, from the perspective of the boss of a film and television company, such artists should use less for their huge investment in their own projects.

In addition to these things, two other projects related to China's film and television industry have also been finalized recently.

The first is the eight dragons.

The essence of the project is still in the editing version, mainly by the team in China, after all, cheap, but the full version of the subtitle has been completed.

Simon doesn't intend to dub the full version. After all, it's martial arts. It's just the name of the eight heavenly dragons. In English, the eight story path of the Heavenly Dragon. Let alone foreigners, Chinese people who understand English will probably be confused if they look at it again.

There is also a free translation, Demi Gods & amp; "Half devils are gods and half demons." Simon is actually not satisfied.

Compromise, and finally choose the latter. After all, it's more or less interesting.

Just one name has been tangled, not to mention many martial arts moves. Therefore, although China has found a group of excellent translators to make the English version, it has also considered the complete dubbing version, Simon did not agree.

Subtitles are enough. Those who love to see will certainly see it, and those who don't like to see it. Even if they give a complete set of nondescript dubbing, they probably won't see it.

In short, the subtitles of the full version have been completed, and the broadcasting time has been determined recently. On September 6, DHO TV station, the late night file from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., is not a traditional weekly broadcast, but two episodes a day as in China.

Moreover, there will be no window period this time. After DHO is broadcast, blockbuster's DVD will be on the shelves immediately. Of course, there will be no video tape. After all, the cost of video tape is too high, not to mention a complete set of 40 episode TV series, even if there are not too many DVDs.

Then, when the essence version is completed, according to the broadcast and rental data, we will consider whether to give better schedule and resources, or if the whole version is too bad, giving up directly is not impossible.

The second is the documentary "Mount Everest".

Simon has seen the sample film and does not intend to modify it, so the next step is to make an IMAX copy and publicize it at the same time.

After winning the IMAX company in Canada, it has been unconsciously promoted for several years. At present, there are 322 IMAX screens worldwide, including 139 in North America and more in overseas China. There are 34 brocade studios, each of which has a standard IMAX screen, so it is 34. In other countries, the remaining 149 pieces were divided in total.

The reason why there are not so many is that the projection halls in western countries that have already completed extensive cinema infrastructure generally can not accommodate the standard IMAX size. Even if Simon relaxed some standards, it is impossible to shrink too much, and most of them have to be funded by danilis.

In any case, there are more than 300 IMAX screens in the world, which is actually considerable.

Considering that the former "Mount Everest" documentary can get more than $80 million at the box office in North America, Simon is not too stingy this time. In addition to the IMAX copy cost, he also gives an additional $3 million in publicity and distribution investment. Considering the production cost, the total cost of the project has exceeded $10 million.

The planned schedule is September 24. Because the copy cost of IMAX is too expensive, it will only be first opened in North America. Overseas needs to wait for the screening potential here to run out before receiving copies.

Of course, this is mainly the premise that the documentary is not very successful.

If the project is as big as it used to be, danilis will definitely invest more in making more copies and roll out around the world as soon as possible.
