A major movie company is looking for a new blockbuster franchise.

The fourth part of "The Hunger Games" has been filmed and will be released this year. This series will also officially come to an end.

Currently, a series owned by a major film company, "Saw" has been indefinitely shelved since the seventh installment in 2010.

"The Twilight Saga" has long ended.

The first two parts of "The Purge" were successful, and the filming of the third part will start this year.

"Maze Runner 2" will be finished in a few days.

"John Wick" made a small profit, and I plan to make a second one, but I have to wait until Liu Yifei gives birth.

"The Vengeance" is also good, and the second part is also scheduled to start filming this year.

Now, the "Hunger Games" series will also come to an end.

The above results seem pretty good, but with the exception of "The Hunger Games", most of the series in the hands of a major film company are R-rated films, not considered mainstream Hollywood productions.

Cheng Lingfeng wants to make another mainstream science fiction action series like "The Hunger Games".

The earning power of mainstream blockbusters is unmatched by R-rated films.

But as an independent studio, a major film company would have difficulty receiving such resources unless it develops its own.

Cheng Lingfeng wanted to do a comic book adaptation, but she didn't have the copyright, and now everyone knows that comic book adaptations are profitable, and other film studios will not easily use their resources to cooperate with a major film company.

Cheng Lingfeng fell in love with Universal's Jurassic series, and the first "Jurassic World" reboot of Big Dinosaur was licensed from Universal.

"Jurassic World" has been confirmed to land in North America this summer.

Cheng Lingfeng wanted to sign a contract with Universal before the movie was released, so that Universal would let her make two more "Jurassic World" movies.

She bet on "Jurassic World" to make money.

But Universal is cunning as hell. Although the first film is a reboot of the "Jurassic" series after 14 years, Universal wants to wait until the results of "Jurassic World" are released before talking to Cheng Lingfeng.

If it loses money or only makes a small profit, Universal doesn't mind letting a major film company continue to produce the "Jurassic" IP, but if Cheng Yu'an really gets the upper hand and the movie makes a lot of money, Universal will kick it out without hesitation.

Cheng Lingfeng, take back the IP and make it yourself.

To be honest, Cheng Yu'an didn't have much else to do about this. The popular IPs had already been monopolized, and he really couldn't get involved.

But Cheng Yu'an still gave her aunt an idea: "Let's make a remake of a classic. By now, Hollywood's valuable IP has basically been filmed once. If you want to find another "Twilight" or "The Hunger Games"

It’s too difficult to develop new IP like this that no one has developed.”

Cheng Yu'an thought for a while and suggested that Cheng Lingfeng find Disney: "They have many old IPs that have not been remade in ten or twenty years. You can talk to them. You can get it with a licensing fee of three to five million, but Disney won't

Not given."

A major animation company started with "Despicable Me", and the second animation "Big Hero Marines" was also a success. Disney wanted to cooperate in depth. Cheng Lingfeng asked for IP authorization at this time. If Disney sells well, it should agree.

"You said if I made a princess series, would they agree?"

"You're out of your mind!" Cheng Yuan laughed, "The princess series is their preserve. Even if they smash it into their hands, they won't let others take pictures of it."

But Cheng Yu'an thought about it and then smiled and said: "There is a special princess, it's not that we can't give it a try."

Cheng Lingfeng immediately knew which princess he was targeting: "Hua Mulan."

"Yes." Cheng Yu'an nodded, "Mulan was originally a public version of the character. Disney made one version of the cartoon and never touched it again. We don't need Disney's authorization to make Mulan."

But after thinking about it, he added, "But we can buy the Disney brand."

Cheng Yu'an's idea is very simple. I filmed Mulan, but put up the "Disney Princess" brand. First, it can block domestic public opinion. Mulan is a fictional historical figure. In reality, there is actually a Mulan Research Association. There is also a Mulan Research Association later.

Forcing Jia Lin to apologize.

If Cheng Lingfeng wanted to film Mulan and use the Disney brand, this association would have nothing to do with it.

Second, it is also for global promotion in the name of Disney.

It’s really difficult to go abroad for Mulan filmed in China. It’s much easier to pay a little money to take a Disney car.

Speaking of Hua Mulan, one will inevitably think of his wife...

Forget it, it's still early, let's watch "Mulan" later.

"It's still early for "Mulan". Let's watch it in two years. You should first ask Disney for a remake of an old IP to try. If the effect is good, Disney will give us the princess series."

This is the difficulty for independent producers, who do not have enough IP and film sources to expand the market.

It's not like a traditional big studio, which holds a bunch of classic IPs in its hands. When there are no movies to make, it can just pick up one and stir up the old stuff.

Part of the post-production special effects of "The Wandering Earth" was done by the American team. Cheng Yu'an and his team inspected the American team's preliminary preparations and returned to China a week later.

…………

In the new year, the company will send away a group of old people. Tong Liya left the company and opened a personal studio under the banner of Remote Culture. She took Tan Songyun with her. Tong Liya took a fancy to Tan Songyun's girlishness.

Yeah, it's not against the rules to play a middle school student at all. It's hard for this kind of actor to become popular, but he won't be short of scenes to shoot. He's a very good worker.

Mao Xiaotong also chose to start her own business. I'm sorry that the company didn't praise her, but she and the company were reunited and Cai Yinong didn't embarrass her and signed a letter to let her go.

A group of new people were also welcomed, and Cheng Yuan was brought over by Cai Yinong to meet the new people.

"I'll just disappear. I have something to do here." Cheng Yu'an basically doesn't care about his manager now.

"The company is undergoing transformation. We haven't signed many new people this year. They're here for you. You should at least meet them."

Now that it was all said and done, Cheng Yuan had no choice but to agree.

"Just in the conference room." Remote Culture's office is on the 13th to 15th floors of the Remote Headquarters Building.

Cheng Yu'an went upstairs and saw from a distance that the conference room was full of people. They should be newly signed artists and the managers assigned to them by the company.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as Cheng Yuan came in, he heard a female voice calling him: "Brother, why are you here? Do you know how long we have been waiting for you? Are you very busy preparing for the movie now?

When will Sister Yifei give birth? Can I visit her when I have time..."

Her little mouth was buzzing. Before Cheng Yuan could say a word, the little girl started mumbling dozens of words.

Cai Yinong shouted: "Fan Qing."

The little girl pursed her lips: "If you don't want to say it, why don't you say it?" After saying that, she sat down.

Cheng Yu'an then carefully looked at this particularly eloquent little girl and said with a smile: "We haven't seen her for so many years, and she has grown so big."

This little girl is none other than Sun Fanqing, nicknamed Zuer, the little Nezha in "Lotus Lantern".

When Cheng Yu'an was supervising the production of "Lotus Lantern", he realized that this little girl could speak well, but he didn't expect that she would be able to speak even more now that she has grown up.

"You still remember me." Sun Fanqing smiled.

"Why don't you remember? You were only this old at that time." After speaking, he gestured with his waist with his hand, "At that time, you could say on the set, bah, no one on the set bothered you, now you have grown into a big girl.

Already."

Sun Fanqing doesn't care at all that others say she is talkative.

Cai Yinong opened the meeting: "I don't need to introduce him, you all know him. Please introduce yourselves to Director Cheng."

"Hello, Director Cheng, my name is Song Tie. I was born in 1989 and graduated from Chinese Opera."

Um?

Such a good girl, why do you call her Song Tie?

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "I know you, you are the number one in talent and art, right?"

"Yes." The girl smiled. At that time, she ranked first in the talent test and caused quite a stir.

Song Tie's management relationship is still with Renyi, and he signed a film and television and commercial performance contract with Yuan Yuan Culture, so there is no conflict between the two.

After Song Tie graduated, she had no filming. It was the director of "The Pretender" who asked her to act, and she was able to start working.

Cai Yinong saw that this girl had good acting skills, talent, and good looks, so he signed her.

"Hello, Director Cheng, my name is Peng Yuchang, I am majoring in Puppet Performance in Grade 12." The young man has not graduated yet.

"How to learn this major?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"The acting department doesn't want me, so I'll learn how to perform puppetry until I get in." Peng Yuchang said bluntly.

Cheng Yu'an was amused: "That's the truth. I was also admitted to the directing department because of the acting department. I didn't want me to take the directing department." Cheng Yu'an returned the favor.

Sun Fanqing stood up and wanted to introduce herself, but Cheng Yu'an interrupted her: "Stop talking, I've seen you grow up."

"Oh," Sun Fanqing was not allowed to speak. She had to choke to death, "Why are you so bad? Hello everyone, my name is Sun Fanqing, also known as Song Zuer. You can call me Zuer. I was born in 1998. I am 17 years old this year. I plan to take the exam.

Film school, I like..."

"Okay, okay, I'll pay you back again and again." Cheng Yu'an was almost annoyed to death within ten minutes of entering the house.

Song Zuer rolled his eyes at Cheng Yu'an and sat down.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Xincheng. I am a freshman majoring in musical theater at the Chinese Opera level 14." The young man is very handsome.

Cheng Yu'an said: "I have to ask you on behalf of the film school why you didn't take the exam at our school."

Zhang Xincheng is rumored to be the god of art exams. He ranks first in the acting and creative major of the Film Academy, first in the performance major of the Shanghai Opera (musical direction), first in the musical theater performance major of the Chinese Opera, and first in the military performance major.

, ranked first in the performance major of Jinling Academy of Arts and second in the Chinese Media Performance major. Finally, with a college entrance examination score of 500 points and first place in both culture and majors, he entered the Department of Musical Theater of Chinese Opera.
