Chapter 290 Cinematic Universe Project Two in One
With Rupert Mercury's promise, Cao Yu felt that he would have been much easier in the next few years.
There is no need to be squeezed by those three families tacitly.
Of course, although he doesn't have to be squeezed by the tacit understanding of the three families, he still has to give some benefits to Rupert Mercury, the head of the 20th Century Fox.
Otherwise, what he will face at that time will probably not just the tacit understanding of the three major Hollywood masters, but the ruthless suppression of the four major Hollywood masters.
Although he could leave and hide in China and not come out.
But that's the worst.
Moreover, this time he had a sudden inspiration to create the [Jianghu] movie universe. In fact, Cao Yu thought it was necessary to study it down.
First, the money he can get in this [Jianghu] movie universe is definitely more than the money he gets in filming sequels for Disney, Warner and Sony.
After all, today is different from the past. His current status is the initiator of this project. No matter what, he can get a big shot in it.
Second, his idea of the [Jianghu] movie universe is based on the Marvel movie universe later, and it is a kind of copycat, and basically the probability of failure is very small.
Third, relying on the theme of [Jianghu], Cao Yu was able to promote his newcomer to the Bonfire Film and Television Branch in China one by one, and his influence and strength in China naturally arise.
~~
The conversation between Cao Yu and Rupert Mercurto in the cafe was not long after, and it was already full of news.
There is no way. Although [Attack on Titan] has been drawn, the influence of [Attack on Titan] is still there. Cao Yu’s name as the King of Hollywood is also there.
So any words such as Cao Yu, new movie projects, billions, etc. can attract the attention of many people.
But this is also the result Cao Yu wanted. After all, he didn't really want to turn against Disney, Warner, and Sony, but he just wanted to continue the 20th Century Fox behind Rupert Mercurto to warn these three companies not to use the contract he signed in his previous weak young age, and to kill himself and take advantage of himself.
The reaction of these three families was also very fast. Cao Yu had just returned home for a night of rest, and Jerry called the next day.
It is said that it was a dense schedule that was originally arranged, but many of the projects have been cancelled at this time, leaving only one of Warner Bros. [Harry Potter 6] in 2006.
Even Disney and Sony Colombia were very considerate and sent the script of [Spider-Man 3] and [Pirates of the Caribbean 2.3] that had already been decided to be written to Cao Yu's email address, saying that he would ask Cao Yu to correct it.
The meaning here is to tell Cao Yu very clearly: Boss, if you don’t want to shoot it, just correct the script and it’s enough.
Kevin Victor, the president of Warner Bros., saw Disney and Sony Columbia licking backwards like this, and immediately turned his back: Big Boss, if you feel dissatisfied, you will be 70% and I will not be unconsidered!
In short, when Cao Yu and Rupert Mercury seemed to have talked about a ten-digit project in the cafe, the attitude of these Hollywood giants took a 180-degree turn.
They were like the crew of the Titanic that was about to sink. As long as Cao Yu could give him a seat, they would do whatever they wanted.
Cao Yu really didn't expect that the blueprint he drew was so effective that it not only fooled Rupert Mercurto, the boss of the 20th Century Fox.
Even the bosses of other companies were fooled by others.
Anyway, after the cafe, his Nokia phone, which can play online games, kept ringing.
In the end, Cao Yu was harassed and had no choice but to discuss the origin of life with Liu Yifei in the middle of the night, and people were making trouble and harassing, so they could only gather the people who were in a hurry to get on the bus and hold a meeting.
~~
On the lawn of Cao Yu's Hollywood villa, several barbecue stalls were burning smokeless carbon and slightly blue smoke. The heat emitted in them made the various barbecue on the grill, making people feel very appetizing when they saw it. In order to understand, there were also a few bottles of Lafite from 1982 on the dining table next to them.
But everyone present did not focus on eating.
Even Rafi in 1982 had a feeling of boiling water in their mouths at this moment.
There is no way. Compared to the desire to talk about the project, the projects that these people gathered together not only involve a billion investment, but also have a very likely chance of generating hundreds of billions of benefits.
In the face of such a huge number, no one cares about what they eat.
As it turned out, Cao Yu's decision to set up a barbecue stall on the lawn was a very wise decision, because there were too many people coming to the meeting this time.
Among the six major companies in Hollywood, except for the MGM who had been completely stumbled by Bai Ge Wu twice and was busy going bankrupt and did not come, the other seven presidents of Walt Disney, Sony Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal Film, Twentieth Century Fox, United Pictures and Paramount were all here.
Han Sanpin, the president of Huaying Group in China, came because of his good relationship with Cao Yu.
Moreover, not only film and television companies, many leaders have come, but also the leaders of the four major theater chains in North America have sent people.
There is no way to send people. The last time the share of [Attack on Titan] was suddenly cut by the five major Hollywood teams of Walt Disney, Sony Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal Film and Television, and 20th Century Fox. This money made the theaters very distressed.
So this time I heard that Cao Yu was going to make another big move. In order to get first-hand information, he was not being plotted against by several major film and television companies, so they also actively sent people here.
In addition to theaters, there is also Wall Street, which also unexpectedly joined the rally.
"Cao, after filming [Attack on Titan], we asked you if you have any new ideas. You said no, but then you turned around and talked to Rupert about a big project. You are not very kind!"
There is no other person who can talk to Cao Yu except Sony Columbia President Sanforni Padge.
Because the relationship between others and Cao Yu is not as good as that between Cao Yu and Sanfuni Padzhi. If he dares to talk to Cao Yu like this, Cao Yu will not turn against him temporarily, but he will definitely remember the small notebook in his heart.
Cao Yu was not easy to answer Sanforni Padqi's "accountability" words. He couldn't tell the truth. If it weren't for you who set a very strict schedule for me, I wouldn't have created this big project for resistance!
So in the end, Cao Yu could only remain silent.
Fortunately, they are all talented again, and they all know that this party is to learn about the specific content of this new project from Cao Yu, rather than to find fault.
So Han Sanpin, the president of Huaying Group, came out to smooth things out immediately. "Mr. Sanfuni, this inspiration is always vague, and no one can explain it clearly."
"That's it, that's it..." After Han San's speech, several more people quickly spoke, and started chatting about the atmosphere.
However, all the people present are all talented people, and their grasp of the atmosphere and topic, and their temptations of people's hearts and emotions are all very accurate.
So after a few tests, Cao Yu didn't mean to resist, so he naturally shifted the topic to the super project about the [King Ke] movie universe.
Seeing this, Cao Yu did not intend to hide it. After all, he brought this group of people here today just to talk to them about the project.
They always bother him, and he can also rely on this super project to drag four or five films on his back and shoot one by one.
However, looking at the status of these big names present, Cao Yu felt that just the ones he talked with Rupert Mercury before would not be able to suppress these big guys.
It is impossible to copy out the second stage of the Marvel Universe to calm these big shots down.
"Ahem~"
Cao Yu cleared his throat, and in an instant, all the big guys around him stopped talking. The scene was once a bit surprising.
"Although it is because of some interest factors, it is also a fate. Let's have a drink for fate."
It is necessary to moisten your voice at the beginning, otherwise it will be a little abrupt if it is too straightforward.
Everyone held up their red wine glasses. Just this time, due to the number of people, the nearly three bottles of 1982 Lafite were gone, which made Cao Yu feel that it would be too expensive to talk about these next time.
"Everyone is so happy, I won't rush it. This project was something I thought about suddenly a few days ago. I didn't think so deeply at that time, so after thinking about it, I talked to Mr. Rupert.
But after thinking these days, my thinking about this project has become more and more profound, and this project has become bigger and bigger. Later, I found that relying on a film and television company alone can't hold on. Even the six major Hollywood players are all launched, which is a bit unstoppable, so today's party is here."
Cao Yu's words suddenly made the guests feel itchy.
What kind of project can make the six major Hollywood film and television companies launch together? You should know that there are seven major Hollywood companies!
If this is said from the mouths of others, those present will definitely sneer.
After all, the six major Hollywood selfs, or others, are very confident in the strength of the six major Hollywood selfs.
But when this was said from Cao Yu's mouth, everyone would have to believe it again.
Because the bragging people are not others, but Cao Yu, who has never failed to make movies since his debut. A few days ago, he also started the largest project in Hollywood history, a project with a dozen investment, and in the end this project was making money.
Everyone present at this time, after hearing Cao Yu's words, he did not doubt that his adrenal glands were about to explode.
Because a big project like [Attack on Titan] is just a joint collaboration between the five major Hollywood film and television companies, and they can hold on to their plates firmly.
What kind of big project is this that makes the six and seven Hollywood companies unable to hold on to their plates. They have to find foreign players, and they are also foreign players of Wall Street.
Moreover, there are already hundreds of billions of profits behind the big projects at the [Attack on Titan] level. This time, Cao Yu said that his new project seems to be even more terrifying than the [Economic Giant], so how huge profits will be behind it!
Eight hundred billion? Or nine hundred billion? Or one hundred billion?
When the thought of Cao Yu's words behind him, the profit represented may be at this level of numbers, the inner waves of these people can't calm down.
After all, in this year, a market of tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars is definitely a unique piece of fragrant steamed bun.
The cowhide was already pulled up, and Cao Yu began to fill in the real materials. Otherwise, just bragging about the skin would definitely not fool these big guys.
"【Jianghu】The Cinema Universe Project, the content of this project, has finally been expected.
Actually, it's already in the name of this project, what I want to shape is a movie universe.
Currently I divide this movie universe into two stages.
The first stage is the star-making stage, which is also the stage of starting a trend. The main purpose of this stage is not to make money."
"It's not for making money!" A big man exclaimed when he heard this. After all, if you don't make money, who is willing to do it?
When Cao Yu heard this, he smiled slightly and explained: "I said the main purpose is not to make money, not to lose money without making money.
Making money must be made. After all, making movies is not profitable, so it is better to go charity.
I said here that the main purpose is not to make money, but to tell you in advance that the initial return rate of this project will not be as high as the return rate of my previous film projects.
At the beginning of this project, about $100 million spent on a movie, and you can earn one or two small goals.”
After hearing Cao Yu's words, some of the big guys present had a twitching face.
I'm going to your mother for a slap. It's a 100 million or 200 million yuan. The main purpose is not to make money. Then your main purpose is to make money. Do you have to go up ten or eleven?
This sentence appeared in the hearts of the big guys, just like the resonance principle of a pendulum.
However, as soon as these words appeared, the big guys looked even more depressed, because the complaints that appeared in their hearts seemed to be Cao Yu's actual ability.
After all, Cao Yu just used the [Attack on Titan] to prove himself that if the main purpose is to make money, he would really be pursuing eleven-digit returns.
So the boss became even more silent.
Cao Yu didn't know that the inner activities of these big guys were so exciting. After all, he didn't have the ability to read the mind. He just saw these big guys' expressions going from exciting to numb, and then in the end there was no sign of psychological activities.
