Chapter 1396

Any ambitious nation or group is eager to be recognized by the authority of the world.

Scholars all over the world hope to get Nobel Prize, athletes all over the world are eager to get Olympic champion or World Cup champion, the same is true for the literature and art industry.

It's not only Chinese movies that have Oscar feelings for many years, but all countries in the world, including Hollywood in the United States, have deep Oscar feelings. No matter which country's filmmakers want to win an Oscar, so do Chinese filmmakers.

Li Mu is not an actor, director or screenwriter, but he is the boss of the film and television company. If the Chinese film industry can't produce a film that can win an Oscar at this stage, it's always OK to invest in a film that can win an Oscar as the boss and capitalist of the Chinese film company, right?

Based on the size of DreamWorks and its intention to cooperate fully with itself, Li Mu can easily let DreamWorks work for him. In the final analysis, a big director like Spielberg, like a third-class director who specializes in low-cost digital films for movie channels in China, is a worker in the industry. Since he is a worker, in the eyes of capitalists, nuclear The difference between hearts is who is more valuable.

If you can't afford money, you won't be helped by the casual workers waiting for you. If you can afford money, let alone Spielberg, the whole Hollywood will be your workers. Li Mu wants money, resources, influence, and the pastoral ticket system, the chain that strangles the film industry from the audience level. DreamWorks will stick to itself in the future No, it's impossible to refuse to cooperate.

On the way to the investigation, Li Mu has made up his mind that as soon as the copyright of the American version of Infernal Affairs is obtained, he will immediately find DreamWorks to land with him. Moreover, no matter from the proportion of capital contribution, the proportion of shares and the proportion of voting rights, Muye image will exceed 60% or even higher. At that time, although the film is produced jointly by China and the United States, its essence is It's the Chinese boss who dominates.

The impact of Chinese capital on Oscars is not only to gain fame, but also the impact and substitution of Eastern New Capital on western old capital. If Chinese capital begins to flow into Hollywood in a large area, it indicates that Hollywood must bow to the Chinese film market. That's why after 2008, a large number of Hollywood blockbusters began to integrate into China In the end, it's all because of the capital of Huaxia.

As for the flying tigers, which is now cooperating with DreamWorks, Li Mu's hope is to hit the box office with high influence, so as to realize the worldwide popularization of the history of China and the United States in the Anti Japanese war in that year, and he does not hold the hope of hitting Oscar with it.

After all, this movie is a commercial war movie, and then it has a certain mainstream value output. Oscar doesn't like the war theme. He will be careful, careful and cautious about such a movie, so it's almost impossible to rely on it to have a great harvest in Oscar, let alone the Flying Tigers, which embodies the common resistance of China and the United States Even if the Americans hit the Japanese "Pearl Harbor" by themselves, they won only one of the best sound editing awards at the Oscars, which is quite water in the Oscars.

But the American version of Infernal Affairs is not the same. As long as the film is tied with Martin Scorsese, it's appropriate to take Oscar. After all, a big director like Lao Ma, Oscar must give him an account anyway. However, the American version of Infernal Affairs is the best-known film of Lao Ma since 1990's good guy. If Oscar decides to give it to Lao Ma, he must A best director award, then there is no doubt that the American version of Infernal Affairs is the most appropriate carrier.

From this point of view, Li Mu needs the copyright of the American version of Infernal Affairs to make Chinese capital succeed in the Oscar, while Martin Scorsese needs the American version of Infernal Affairs to achieve the highest honor of being a director at the Oscar, and even Leonardo can achieve the highest honor of being an actor by this film if it is properly operated. Therefore, this Li Muzhi must have it.

……

The location of the film and television base has not been opened to the public. Li Mu, together with Wei Lan, Chen Ze and song Liang, made a general investigation at the junction of Yanjing, Tianjin and Langfang. The main contents of the investigation are terrain investigation and land use.

To build a large-scale film and television base, it is necessary to have a development area of nearly 100 square kilometers. Li Mu's goal is not to copy a Hengdian, but to build a "new Hengdian" which is much stronger than Hengdian. It is necessary to combine not only film and television base and tourism, but also film and television production support, post production and other related industries. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the target address has Such a large area of plain land, and then investigate the cost of land.

In fact, the southeast of Yanjing is a treasure land of geomantic omen. Different from the big fan of Yanjing, which is nearly three Baidu from the northeast to the southwest, there are few hills in the southeast, that is, a plain area extending all the way to the Bohai Bay.

On the whole, the first thing we can determine is the terrain. The land over 10000 square kilometers is basically plain, so it fully meets the requirements of building a super large film and television base. The remaining problem is where to choose the land with lower cost.When calculating the cost of land use, the main consideration is the land quotation of the local government, as well as the compensation standard of the land itself for cultivated land, civil housing and enterprise land. The more densely populated areas are, the less suitable they are for the development of non residential projects, because the cost of relocation is too high, and the cost of resettlement alone is a huge cost.

Wei Lan is more sensitive to land and more professional, which is more authoritative than song Liang. When song Liang was still staring at the map of Haizhou to study the land, Wei Lan had already operated large-scale real estate projects in Shanghai, so in this regard, everyone fully trusted Wei Lan's ideas and suggestions.

After the general investigation, Wei Lan put forward her own suggestions on the spot. First, she took out a budget and hired a professional aerial survey company to carry out aerial photogrammetry of this area. Then she drew a detailed topographic map, which clearly reflected the distribution and density of cultivated land, wasteland, homestead and enterprise land. In this way, Wan Ying planned the film and television city project When we do, we can avoid heavy and light layout.

Even if it needs 100 square kilometers of land, it is not necessary to be square or regular and centralized. In order to reduce the cost, it can be designed as a block distribution. On the basis of ensuring the overall connection, it can avoid the area with high land cost to the greatest extent. In this kind of large-scale real estate project planning, aerial photographing and aerial survey are the best solution, the only disadvantage It's just that the cost is too high. For such a large area of aerial survey, the cost is at least several million times. If not, it may be even higher. But compared with such a huge project, Weilan thinks that this cost is worth paying.

In 2003, the word aerial photography may not have been heard by many people, but Wei Lan's vision has been ahead of most people.

Although Chen Ze and song Liang support the use of aerial photographing and aerial survey to support the site selection, neither of them suggests getting on the horse first. Both of them think that they should talk with the three governments first, and then work out a general range according to the attitude of the local governments after the talks. At that time, they will invite the aerial survey company to carry out the survey, which is also a targeted goal.

But Li Mu didn't want to wait.

He approved Wei Lan's suggestion very much. He immediately made a decision and said: "if we want to take advantage of Yanjing's capital influence and huge tourism resources, our film and television base project is bound to be too far away from Yanjing, so we can't leave this area no matter what we talk with the three local governments. In this case, we don't need to wait until we finish talking with the local government In addition to aerial survey, it's better to seize the time to mount the horse first. After all, such a large area requires a certain time for aerial survey and mapping. If we mount the horse later, we need people to wait for the map. I'd rather spend more money and let the map wait for the map. "

Li Mu's point is to the point. If we want to go on this project, we can't live without this place. What else do you have to worry about? Quickly understand and map the whole terrain and land use situation, and then you can clearly see which land is the most cost-effective.

The so-called patch distribution, to put it bluntly, is the same as urban greening. We need to avoid roads, buildings and large-scale buildings, so the green in most urban aerial photos is basically the same as psoriasis. This one is the same. However, Li Mu's film and television base can't adopt completely isolated patch distribution, even if it is to be divided into many different shapes and sizes The "patch" must also have a connecting line to ensure that all patches are a whole from a spatial point of view.

In order to achieve the lowest land cost on this basis, aerial survey is the most scientific and accurate solution.

After a general survey of the region's topography and the determination of the rhythm of the first aerial mapping, all returned to Yanjing in the evening.

When the car entered Yanjing City, Li Ziwei received a phone call, and then immediately happily reported to Li Mu, saying: "Mr. Li, Warner accepted your offer and is willing to resell the English remake copyright of Infernal Affairs to Makino image for 3.5 million dollars!"

"Great." Li Mu made a loud finger and said excitedly, "immediately arrange a special person to connect and finish the contract process as soon as possible!"

Li Mu didn't make a mistake. Warner seemed to have just experienced an all-round bombing. Now they are all focused on disaster relief. In a short time, they can't even enter the post war reconstruction stage, let alone the post-war development.

So it's useless for them to hold the English remake copyright of Infernal Affairs. It's hard for them to have the energy to set up a project for implementation. At the beginning, several Hollywood companies were interested in the copyright. Finally, Warner took it because the price of $1.75 million is higher than the price itself. If Warner wants to sell it to other Hollywood companies now, no one will give him 175 Ten thousand dollars.

Moreover, the copyright of movie script is limited by time. It is only a few years to buy the film and television adaptation right of popular novels. Suppose Warner buys the exclusive remake right of English in the next five years from Huanya. If Warner doesn't make his own movie at the end of five years, the license will expire, and then it will be nothing.

In this case, it's safer and more cost-effective to sell it to Li Mu at twice the price!
