Chapter 312 Recruitment is complete and ready to go(1/2)
What Cao Yu and Spielberg said about the prospects of the future movie universe were all based on his own rebirth memory.
So the content and details are very rich.
Spielberg didn't know that what Cao Yu was talking about was the memory of his rebirth. Spielberg only felt that Cao Yu had a long-term vision.
We have made a very logical budget for everything in the future.
Of course, being able to convince a great director like Spielberg was definitely not based on Cao Yu's ten minutes of words.
But relying on Cao Yu's glorious record in the past, [Jinyiwei] seems to be about to succeed now.
"Since you have such a thorough plan, you just need to follow the plan. Why are you looking for me?" Spielberg was a little confused.
Cao Yu smiled slightly.
How can I tell you, is it because my capital chain for land business is about to break?
of course not.
"The plan is very thorough. If you follow this plan, you can indeed achieve great success, but~"
Cao Yu pulled the plug, whetted Spielberg's appetite a little, disturbed Spielberg's mood a little, and improved the persuasiveness of his next words.
"But plans can never keep up with changes!" Cao Yu used his brain and thought of an excuse.
"I can guarantee that if I follow the plan, I can make a lot of money in the next ten years and build a very huge movie universe.
But what about the next ten years?
A trend caused by a new thing will always become outdated. Just like the Jurassic Park series you created back then, isn't it now fading away?
So~
Since a new thing will always become obsolete, why don’t I make full use of the new thing before it becomes obsolete?
According to the original plan, in the ten years since the establishment of the "Knightsman" movie universe, approximately twenty films will be produced.
But if I speed up this speed, thirty movies? Forty movies? Fifty movies?
With such brilliance, I thought that was enough!
When this plan is about to come to an end, I think we should let it end!"
What Cao Yu said was true.
From the beginning to the most glorious time of the movie universe, it took almost ten years.
And after the glory, it should naturally come to an end.
For example, after the Marvel Cinematic Universe lost its first-generation Avengers such as Iron Man, it has added second-generation Avengers such as Holland.
But it always feels like something is missing, there is no leading role.
Coupled with the character set card-style movie mode, many people have found it uninteresting.
So the next step is bound to be a recession, and it will be an irreversible recession.
Of course, although the glory is definitely gone, after all, it was the most successful movie series in a decade, but it is almost two or three generations young.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is definitely a success.
However, knowing the ending of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Cao Yu naturally wanted to find a way to avoid making the same mistakes again.
Cao Yu's initial preparation was to rely on himself, DiCaprio and Johnny Depp to carry the banner.
Then he slowly retired, only keeping his name, and occasionally making guest appearances.
Leave it to Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp.
Relying on these two talented people, and not quitting completely like Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I can say that I can extend the glory of the "Knightsman" movie universe for another seven or eight years.
But when Cao Yu was persuading Spielberg, he suddenly discovered a problem.
That was when Marvel launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Firstly, they had no experience and secondly, they had no capital, so they could only take slow steps step by step.
But I am different. I have their experience and capital that they do not have. I also have the help of two great people like DiCaprio and Johnny Depp, plus the support of the system.
There is no need to proceed step by step carefully.
There are only twenty movies in ten years, how is that enough?
If you say you want to turn a movie into a TV series, then do it thoroughly.
Is there any TV series that only lasts for twenty episodes in ten years?
No!
You are not Luo Xiaohei Zhanji!
Cao Yu's requirements are not high and he complies with the national TV series limit in advance.
Forty movies correspond to forty episodes of a TV series, which should be pretty good.
"I have to say, I'm convinced by you." Spielberg couldn't refuse a project invitation that was destined to be brilliant, just like ancient literati couldn't refuse the opportunity to leave their name in history.
"So, what's the plan?" After Spielberg decided to participate in the plan of the "Knight Rider" movie universe, he was very excited, and the idea of wanting to work began to pop up in his mind.
"Uh~"
Cao Yu was a little embarrassed. After all, you can't say that there is no script yet, the actors have not been decided, and the funds will be misappropriated by myself for the next two roles. I just want to take your name and finalize the project.
Cao Yu felt that as long as he dared to say that, even though Spielberg seemed to be very young, this old man would definitely dare to flip the table and blast himself with a hammer.
After all, what I did was indeed a bit too shameless.
“There is a general plan, but the specific and detailed plan has not been finalized yet.
Master, as a top director, you should also know that sometimes we make everything too perfect, which limits the talents of some great directors.
After all, everything has been prepared in detail, so what else does the director need to do? I can just hire an experienced photographer.
But don’t worry, the funds are already in place. As long as you come up with a plan and it passes the review, we can start shooting right away.”
Spielberg heard something from Cao Yu's previous quibbles, but fortunately, Cao Yu finally took care of the important matter of funding. With Cao Yu's reputation, Spielberg did not become suspicious.
After all, Spielberg is really familiar with Cao Yu's empty-handed tactics - because he often played like this when he was young, but his level and courage are not as high as those of Cao Yu. He is directly in the entertainment industry.
Play like this on the top level.
"Yes, some things are extremely restrictive and are indeed not conducive to the director's performance." Spielberg nodded and thought for a while, then nodded, "Send me the rough plan and I will take a look and study how to do it.
"
"That's the best!" Cao Yu happily stretched out his hand and shook Spielberg's hand, "[The Knight] movie universe has many upcoming sub-projects, and I didn't bring them with me for a while. I'll send them all to you when I get back.
, you can pick the one you want to photograph the most.”
Of course, Cao Yu's words are just nonsense. He currently has no scripts for other characters in the "Knightsman" movie universe.
Of course, Cao Yu dared to say this mainly because he believed in the work ability of Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan. After more than ten days, Cao Yu believed that the two of them had definitely produced some substantive content.
"That's it, I'm going to meet a few directors next." Cao Yu told the truth, he will indeed have to recruit a few more people next.
"Oh, the conversation is the same as mine? Who are they?" Spielberg had already guessed it.
Cao Yu didn't reply, just smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes."
*****
After leaving the coffee shop, Cao Yu quickly called Wen Ziren regardless of the fact that it was still dark over there in China.
Of course, according to the nature of Wan Ziren and Lin Yishan's work, there is actually no difference between day and night. When they work, they are both at the level of big bosses in the world of immortality.
And sure enough, the call was answered without a few beeps.
The speaker was Wen Ziren.
After flying from Hollywood to China, James Wan didn't even adjust to the time difference and started working directly.
The two of them worked day and night, and the other day and night, and they still worked in the same office. They almost didn't use the electric baton in the office to explode because of the high-intensity work.
"Hey! Which one?" Wen Ziren's voice was very tired.
And since Cao Yu was calling from a landline, he didn't know who was calling.
"I, Cao Yu, how are you preparing the script for the [Knightsman] movie universe?" Cao Yu didn't hesitate and got straight to the point.
"The ten characters in the initial stage all have a basic plot, and subsequent content is still being added." When Wen Ziren heard that it was Cao Yu and that he was still talking about the script, he immediately gave a brief summary of what he knew.
Said it for a while.
After hearing Wen Ziren's words, Cao Yu was shocked.
After all, although he gave Lin Yishan some concepts about the plot of the movie universe, they were just some concepts. Some were classic characters and plots taken from the novels he read in those years, and others were the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The plot and character introductions are all very fragmentary.
Unexpectedly, the two of them actually worked out a rough script of ten characters in just ten days. It can be said that the two of them are very capable.
"In this way, you can sort it out a little and send me a rough script of the ten characters." Cao Yu quickly ordered, and then explained: "I have taken care of Spielberg here, and he will join.
This is our plan."
