Chapter 133 The prototype of China's Hollywood (seeking the moon)
After filming, Wang Shang returned home that night, had a meal with his parents, and then started browsing the Internet while processing some documents in his mailbox handed over by Bi Han's secretary.
Bi Han, the competent general manager, has already given opinions on how to deal with many matters. Wang Shang is only responsible for looking at them and does not need to respond to them for approval, except for those big plans.
Soon Wang Shang saw a different email, which was forwarded by his secretary and came from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
"Marvel? Want to get the North American comic rights of "Transformers"?"
Wang Shang stared at the four words "Marvel Company", his emotions boiling with each other.
"I didn't even come to my door, but you delivered it to me."
This time and space of Marvel is the same as the previous time and space. It is a giant in the North American comics industry. It owns Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider,
More than 8,000 comic characters such as Ant-Man and superhero teams such as Avengers, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
In 2009, Marvel sold the copyrights of all its heroes to Disney for US$4.24 billion. The specific reason is unknown.
Wang Shangke coveted this big piece of fat, but unfortunately he never found the opportunity and had no money.
Now that he actually came to his door, Wang Shang was naturally very surprised.
Wang Shang doesn't care about the comics industry. Wang Shang only cares about movies. He can definitely exchange the copyrights of Transformers comics and obtain the copyrights of some heroes.
Spider-Man, Wolverine, X-Men, etc. The other party may not be willing, after all, the movie has already been made. It has proven its broad market.
Then you can try to get heroes who have not yet made movies. For example, Iron Man was only made in 2009 in the past time and space, and Thor was only made in 2011. They are both good series of Hollywood movies.
Moreover, if you get the rights to Iron Man and Thor, you can also get a foothold in the Avengers.
As for whether Marvel Comics will agree... I think they will. Picking out a few heroes from 8,000 heroes, the proportion is not large...
Moreover, Transformers is a very large system, which is much richer than Iron Man and Thor. It can sell comics and toys better than these two heroes.
If not, it's not impossible to throw away the comic copyright of Alien. Comics have never been Wang Shang's goal, everything is to serve the movie.
What's more, if you sell the "Transformers" comics and toy copyrights to the other party with a certain dividend, the other party can also help Wang Shang open the North American film market in advance, why not?
With this idea in mind, Wang Shang responded directly to the email and "enthusiastically" invited Marvel Comics to come and discuss it.
The next day, Wang Shang and Bi Han got on the plane and headed to Yanjing. As for the actors, they weren't famous enough, so they didn't go. The purpose of Bi Han going there was to meet people from other film companies.
Talk about cooperation.
In addition to Wang Shang and Bi Han, half of the staff from the marketing team went there. A few people from the clothing and makeup department also went, but they all went in advance.
As the protagonist of "Death Is Coming", Xie Tingfeng took a leave from the director and returned to China. However, he was not prepared to join Wang Shang because his contract company was Emperor. After Emperor Corporation took back Hong Kong from China, although the company
We encountered some decline, but we still persevered.
…
The China Film Awards were held on the outskirts of Yanjing, where the Academy is located, next to the Yanjing Film and Television Base.
There is a screening street composed of more than a dozen small movie screening halls, as well as a place to hold award ceremonies. In the surrounding area, many film companies have their headquarters here.
Everything is modeled after Hollywood in Los Angeles. There are film companies, cinemas, film and television bases, and apartment complexes. Everything that a movie needs is basically available here.
It has a very good film and television atmosphere, and countless movie stars like to live here.
This is a prototype of China's Hollywood, and it is also a project that the government began to strongly support in 2000. It was officially completed last year, and soon after it was completed, countless film and television companies and stars poured into it.
Wang Shang’s plan is to wait until Tianwang Studio is upgraded to a company and then move its headquarters here. I heard that Datang International’s headquarters is also preparing to start moving its main work here.
Do you want to become the Chinese version of the six major Hollywood film companies? Come to China Little Hollywood.
When Wang Shang and Bi Han got off the plane, there was a luxury Bentley XXX waiting there. This was arranged by Bi Han in advance in Yanjing. In this award ceremony, these things cannot be missed.
You must compare.
When Wang Shang and others arrived, they asked the makeup artist who had prepared in advance to do some makeup in a nearby hotel.
After sorting it out, we started to enter the new Chinese Hollywood.
This time, the Chinese Oscars can be said to be a grand event for the entire Chinese film and television industry. Wang Shang looked around and could see several reporters hurriedly following each star, busy interviewing them.
The well-known star Wang Shang also saw so many of them that it felt like he would hit a few if he turned his head.
Wang Shang also saw several foreign media, especially Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. It is obvious that the influence of Chinese films has begun to gradually spread to surrounding areas.
When Wang Shang and Bi Han got out of the car, they quickly caught the attention of a female reporter, who happily ran over for an interview. The big brother carrying the camera behind him struggled to keep up, gasping for breath.
He was so angry that he was sweating like rain, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
"Mr. Wang!! It's an honor and a pleasure to meet you for the first time~~" The female reporter first flattered her with a strange flattery, and then got to the point, "Mr. Wang, I don't know what your opinion of "Death is Coming" this time.
Are you confident about winning the award?"
Wang Shang smiled and replied: "There are more and more excellent films in our country now, which can be seen from the grand occasion of today's event, so I don't have enough confidence in whether "Death Is Coming" can win the award. If
If I really win the award, I would like to thank the academy. I would also like to thank all the actors and crew members who worked hard for this movie!"
After Wang Shang spoke some Mandarin, he and Bi Han went straight to the Screening Street. Along the way, they met many reporters who wanted to interview them, but Wang Shang refused them all.
When Wang Shang and the others came to Screening Street, they found that there were more people gathered here, at least thousands, including a lot of celebrities, as well as producers, directors, screenwriters, lighting, and photography people from various professions.
And more of them are film critics.
In so many screening halls, the films nominated for this year's Academy Awards will be played in turn over the past three days, and "Death Comes" is one of them, and "Infernal Affairs 2" will also be included.
Wang Shang and Bi Han soon separated, each completing their own tasks.
Wang Shang quickly found Hall 13 where "Death Is Coming" was being screened. At this time, countless people had gathered in front of the screening hall, wanting to go in and watch it. It was very popular.
Then Wang Shang found a screening room for "Infernal Affairs 2" on the 18th. It was as popular as "The God of Death". Looking at other movies, they were all compared to these two movies in terms of popularity.
Wang Shang looked at this scene and felt a little proud in his heart. Soon Wang Shang found a movie that less people went to watch. He originally wanted to watch "Infernal Affairs 2", but there were too many people.
There are no seats.
At the cocktail party in the evening, Wang Shang and Bi Han gathered together and went together.
After Wang Shang entered, he took a glass of wine and looked around the entire reception hall.
At this time, a voice came from behind.
"Hi, Mr. Wang. Hello!!"
Wang Shang turned around and saw that it was the Heavenly King Liu Dehua. (The surname was written as Niu in the previous article. But when I said "Niu Heavenly King", I was immediately shocked, so I changed my surname to Liu)
Although there are a few wrinkles on Liu Tianwang's smiling face, he is still charming.
"Hi, hello Liu Tianwang! Nice to meet you." Wang Shang quickly handed over the business card. In the previous time and space, Wang Shang admired this king who was famous for his hard work. He even regarded him as his idol when he was young.
.
Now that he sees her in this time and space, she is still so charming, and Wang Shang still cannot help but be excited.
Liu Dehua obviously did not expect Wang Shang to behave like this. He put down his wine glass, took out his business card and handed it to Wang Shang. He was also a little curious and surprised about Wang Shang. He happened to see Wang Shang this time, so he couldn't help but come over to get to know him.
For a moment, you can also earn some opportunities for yourself later.
The two chatted with each other for a while and felt that each other's speech made people feel comfortable. Then they talked about some movie-related matters.
"King, your performance in "Infernal Affairs" was great!!" Wang Shang finally squeezed into the crowd this afternoon and saw "Infernal Affairs". He was very impressed by Liu Dehua's performance.
"Mr. Wang is not bad either. Last year's Spring Festival film "Those Years" achieved very good results, and this year's "Death is Coming" earned us a lot of face for Chinese films!!"
Speaking of these two movies, the two couldn't help but compliment each other a few times.
Finally, Liu Dehua felt that he was almost done, and finally expressed his purpose: "I wonder if Mr. Wang can prepare a role for me in future movies?"
When Liu Dehua said this, he felt very nervous. Now he wants to hit Hollywood, but he failed every time. After seeing Wang Shang's "Death is Coming" and "Transformers", he felt aroused in his heart.
Thoughts: "Can you please ride on the sequel of "Death is Coming" and "Transformers"?
However, some time ago, it was reported in the Hong Kong entertainment circle that Zhou Xingchi wanted to hitchhike with Wang Shang but was rejected, which made Andy Lau a little more worried.
But Liu Dehua was afraid of being beaten first, and through this conversation he felt that Wang Shang was quite easy to talk to, so he made up his mind to ask.
""Death is Coming", "Transformers"?" Wang Shang understood what Liu Dehua meant.
Wang Shang took a few steps back, looked carefully up and down for a minute, then lowered his head and pondered.
Finally, he raised his head and asked: "If you were a scientist and the chairman of a 100 billion group, how would you express yourself in front of others?"
