Since Uncle Da was old and not in good health, Cheng Yu'an couldn't bear to let him participate in heavy training.

But Uncle Da disagreed: "Even children are training with you, how can I be embarrassed not to practice? Don't worry, I know my own body, how to train, I can withstand it."

He couldn't resist, but Cheng Yu'an also reduced some training for Uncle Da: "The crew will start filming on February 21 next year. You can join the crew for training at the end of next month. There are professional medical staff on site. If you feel any discomfort, you must tell us

.”

"It sounds like I'm going to die tomorrow. Don't worry, my health is no worse than these young people."

After making an appointment to join the group, Cheng Yuan had dinner with Uncle Da again before sending him to the car.

Facts have proved that people really only have one bowl of rice.

Mr. Zhou has no problem being an actor, but she is really not good at being a producer.

"A Long Day with Anthony" was produced by Zhou Gongzi. The box office on the first day was just over 10 million, but it exceeded 40 million in 3 days on the first weekend.

This kind of result obviously cannot satisfy Mr. Zhou and the film crew.

"Spectre", which was released on the same day as "Anthony", grossed 90 million on that day and 300 million in its first weekend.

In the past, the panacea for sniping Hollywood blockbusters—domestic youth films—is really no longer effective.

The final chapter of the "Hunger Games" series will be released in the second week.

This series' sales in China are average, but the first three parts also made 500 million.

"The Hunger Games" sold extremely well overseas, with the three previous films grossing more than $2.3 billion in box office.

If the fourth part performs normally, it shouldn't be difficult for this series to end with a revenue of US$3 billion.

But a major movie company is also facing difficulties.

Since "The Hunger Games", there hasn't been a series that can compare to it.

"Purge" and "Maze Runner" make money, but they are both small and small.

It’s really not that easy for Cheng Lingfeng to pick up IP adaptations in the market.

This is the difficulty for independent studios without a history.

Universal has taken back the rights to "Jurassic" and will make the second "Jurassic World" themselves.

Cheng Yu'an's idea for Cheng Lingfeng was to find the remake rights of six major classic movies.

Cheng Lingfeng first targeted Disney because they have so many IPs.

"The Jungle Book" has been completed.

Director Jon Favreau was inspired by "The Jungle Book" and wanted to apply the virtual photography and real-life CG technology used in "The Jungle Book" to Disney's classic animation "The Lion King."

Cheng Yuan felt that this idea was very interesting, so he took the initiative to contact Disney to ask for the rights to remake "The Lion King".

Disney refused to agree at first. "The Lion King" is Disney's golden brand. Although it has been 21 years, Disney did not want to license this immortal classic easily for fear of damaging its brand.

Cheng Yu'an personally flew to the Disney headquarters in the United States and met with David Hollis, Disney's executive vice president of film sales and distribution, for a detailed discussion.

The outside world only knows that they met, but what they talked about has no way of knowing.

Just three days later, Cheng Yu'an showed up on Cheng Lingfeng's desk with the authorization letters for remakes of "The Lion King" and "Aladdin" signed by Disney.

"Do a good job, you know how much I paid to let these vampires in Disney relax."

Cheng Lingfeng looked through the authorization letter: "How did you negotiate the licensing fee of 4.5 million for two films? I went to negotiate, and they asked me for 17 million for just one "Lion King"."

Even the remake of a movie 21 years ago dared to ask for 17 million, and this is not how you grab money.

"Don't worry about how we negotiated. I didn't sell my sovereignty."

"If Katzenberg knew we were remaking "The Lion King," he would be crazy."

"The Lion King" is Katzenberg's most proud work at Disney. Now that Cheng Yu'an has obtained the remake rights from Disney, Katzenberg will probably be so angry that he vomits blood.

Katzenberg was originally dissatisfied with a major animation company being too close to Disney, and now that Cheng Yu'an is going to remake "The Lion King", he will most likely feel that Cheng Yu'an has betrayed the friendship of DreamWorks.

"Don't worry about Katzenberg. DreamWorks Animation is almost dying, so there is no time to care about us. If the agreement in my hand was not transferable, I would have quit last year."

“How’s awards season?”

"'Spotlight' was so powerful that it aroused national discussion as soon as it was released. Our chances of winning the Best Picture from him with 'The Danish Girl' and 'Carol' are too slim."

The film "Spotlight" is so in line with the aesthetics of the white left. It exposes the scandal of the American church, and it is still based in Boston.

It is said that the crew received strong threats and even death threats from certain people and organizations while filming the film.

This was revealed during the PR of their production team. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but it did win a lot of sympathy points for the film.

"So I focused my public relations on male and female movie stars."

"Little Freckles just won the Best Actor Award last year." Cheng Yu'an reminded her.

"I know, but the freckles acted really well in this movie."

"No matter how good he is, it doesn't matter. In history, only Spencer Tracy has won the Best Actor award continuously. If Freckles can win the award repeatedly, the Academy can't explain it to the outside world. Unless you are willing to spend 20 million US dollars to buy this Best Actor."

"And to be honest, Freckles' acting skills in "The Danish Girl" are not much different from last year's "The Theory of Everything". It's just a different role. There is no progress or regression. Those old men are not blind. Just give them a nomination to express their appreciation.

It's absolutely impossible to win a prize.

"It's better to focus on public relations for the actress."

""Blue Jasmine" is not even two years old."

"But Kate won the Best Actress at Cannes this year, and the outside world is very popular. Give it a try. If you don't have confidence, you won't do public relations this year. If you get a few nominations, we can just sit in the audience and watch the show."

Cheng Lingfeng was really tempted by saying this: "Let's give it a try and check out the situation of various films during this period, and wait until the nomination list is announced. Speaking of which, I haven't been on vacation for a long time. When this matter is over, I will also give it a try."

Take a long vacation by yourself to go out and have some fun."

Speaking of this year's Oscars, Cheng Yu'an laughed and said: "I think this year's best actor will be the winner."

"Laian is a poisonous person. He might become a prostitute again this year."

"Anyway, I plan to vote for him. It's time to vote for him. If I don't vote for him, I'll be sorry for the way he has ruined himself in the past few years. If I don't vote for him this year, I can't even imagine what role he will play to please the old guys in the academy. Should he go too?

Playing an LGBT role?" Cheng Yu'an laughed.

After talking to Cheng Lingfeng, Cheng Yu'an walked out.

"where did you go?"

"I'm going to see my wife and children, why don't I want to see you?"
