"This is the model we plan to deploy the Hornet on."
Chen Yi took out a car video and handed it to Wang Shang.
Wang Shang took the video and was immediately attracted by the car.
The whole body is yellow, with a black strip on the front hood, a slender engine compartment, an exaggerated air intake grille and an almost wedge-shaped body line to create a unique hard-core style of a Chinese performance car. The front air intake and headlights
The body is integrated into one body, and the car width is wider than that of ordinary cars, making the Camaro's front face look quite fierce.
The engine compartment looks very slender when viewed from the side. The two-door coupe design looks low and has a strong visual impact. The rearview mirror design is slender and sharp.
Wang Shang couldn't help but sigh at the power of fate. This car had a similar image to the Chevrolet Camaro in the previous time and space.
Chen Yi felt that this picture successfully attracted Wang Shang, and quickly introduced: "This car was developed by us last year, and is temporarily named Longyun-Zhenlong series..."
Then he introduced its structure, various performance data in a gushing manner, and talked about the orchid.
At this time Wang Shang couldn't help but ask: "How much are you going to sell this car for?"
"If we set the price, it should be around US$50,000 to US$80,000. We are prepared to invest in the US auto market on a large scale and seize the opportunity of major households."
"Okay, please arrange the time, I'm going to see the actual car."
To be honest, the advertising cost of Bumblebee in "Transformers" is 80 million yuan, which is relatively reasonable. So when Longyun Automobile Group quoted Bumblebee + Optimus Prime 200 million yuan, and saw this Longyun-Zhenlong.
It was very consistent with the image in Wang Shang's mind, so Wang Shang decided to put the advertising space in Longyun Automobile Group.
"You will definitely not regret this transaction." Wang Shang said to Chen Yi at the end.
Chen Yi also smiled and shook hands and said goodbye: "I believe it! Happy cooperation!"
When Wang Shang announced Longyun Automobile Group's quotation, he instantly scared off all the automobile companies. An investment of 200 million yuan in advertising is not a small amount.
Longyun Automobile Group wanted to obtain this advertising space to open the door to the U.S. automobile market. It was in desperate need, so the demand was more urgent and the price was higher.
Other car companies want to take over this advertising space to enhance brand awareness and to add icing on the cake, so the demand is naturally not that strong, and the price certainly won't be that high.
80 million is already very high in their opinion.
They did not get the advertising space for Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. These car companies quickly divided up the remaining 30 or so King Kong car advertisements. Wang Shang directly received 150 million in advertising fees.
In the past few days, there has been constant news about "Transformers" from the outside world, and countless media have followed and reported it.
"The famous Hollywood director Michael Bay appeared at Tianwang Film and Television Company, acting suspiciously."
"Michael Bay officially announced that he will join "Transformers" and become the assistant director under director Wang Shang."
"'Transformers' has already earned RMB 110 million in advertising fees. Wang Shang's speed in collecting money is astonishing!!"
"Wang Shang led the "Transformers" crew to visit Longyun Automobile Group."
"Longyun Automobile Group announced that it has won the car advertising space for Bumblebee and Optimus Prime at a price of 200 million."
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation, but before the people could finish digesting the news, another piece of news followed closely——
"The advertising costs of "Transformers" have so far collected 460 million!!"
The whole country was shocked!!!
"What the hell!!"
“We got 460 million in advertising fees before filming??”
All major media outlets reprinted this news one after another. And the word '460 million' was placed on the front page of the entertainment section and even the economic section with extremely eye-catching bold and bold colors.
"Before filming starts, make money first!!"
At this time, the entire entertainment industry was dominated by "Transformers", and other news such as scandals, movie launches, etc. were all suppressed by it without exception.
Across the country, in addition to the hundreds of millions of movie fans who like to watch movies, other people who don't know the specific situation are also attracted by this 'big title'.
I don’t know how powerful it is!!
"Look at others, they have made hundreds of millions before the project even started. Unlike us, who worked hard for a year and the company only made hundreds of thousands in profit."
"Let's just change careers and make movies."
"You can only move bricks, but what kind of movies can you make?"
"What's wrong with moving bricks? I don't believe that making movies doesn't require menial work."
This time, many uninformed people in China were abducted by this news and fell into the huge pit of the film industry.
Wang Shang naturally did not know the huge appeal of 460 million to other people, but he was also very surprised to be able to obtain 460 million (US$50 million) in advertising revenue. This result is much better than the US$40 million of "Transformers 1" in the previous time and space.
Already.
"There are many rich people." Wang Shang couldn't help but sigh.
————————
After finishing the business of attracting investment, Wang Shang began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the formation of the crew and the recruitment of actors.
The main people in charge of all aspects of the crew have been recruited. In addition to Michael Bay, the other assistant director is a director from Tianwang Film and Television Company, who has his own way of sci-fi movies. As for the scene recorder, action director, and photographer
, set designers, make-up artists, prop artists...the heads of all aspects are employees of Tianwang Studio.
After the rapid development of Tianwang Film and Television in the past few years, the stage has become bigger and bigger, and more and more high-level people have joined the company. It does not need to borrow people from everywhere to make a movie like in the first few years.
With the name of "Transformers", the crew was assembled at an unprecedented speed. The number of crew members was twice as large as that of "Fast and Furious". This was Wang Shang's attempt to catch up with "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings"
》And deliberately used multiple tricks.
And supporting actors are constantly being recruited with the efforts of the screenwriters and senior management of the production team.
At this critical moment, those big movie stars who are usually not shy have expressed their voices on Weibo, blogs, and various media channels.
Liu Tianwang said: "I am very happy to join "Transformers", even if it is a supporting role, it doesn't matter."
Li Nianjie believes: "Wang Shang is a very good director, and I really hope to participate in a movie directed by Wang Shang."
Mr. Fan: "It would be a great experience if I could become an actor under Director Wang."
Cheng Long: “I am very much looking forward to cooperating with Director Wang.”
And those little stars are even more flattering...
Of course, there are also disdainful celebrities who feel that they should maintain the state of "I am sober when the whole world is in trouble" and "I am so crazy when others laugh at me that others cannot see through it".
As for the 'leaders' of the production crew who have mastered the selection of actors, they also received a lot of flattery and favors and gifts just like Wang Shang.
However, the selection of actors soon went through twists and turns.
On July 31, in a restaurant, Wu Xuemei told Liu Xi a shocking news: "Did you know? Today I received an exposure letter to the "Transformers" crew. The content of the letter is:
Talk about internal unspoken rules for female celebrities."
"What? The hidden rules of "Transformers" are exposed?" Liu Xi looked shocked.
Wu Xuemei didn't quite understand why Liu Xi had such an expression, and continued: "The person who wrote the letter was an audition actress, but she heard that the person who was interviewing her secretly revealed that there was another competitor, and there were also photos.
Such, the evidence is abundant. I know that you must know the senior people of Tianwang Film and Television Company, and I have been taken care of by Mr. Wang, so I temporarily withheld this exposure letter and did not send it to the editor-in-chief."
"Phew, it's okay!!" Liu Xi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's none of your business, why are you nervous?" Wu Xuemei said.
Liu Xi didn't explain. She quickly took out her phone and called Wang Shang directly, telling Wang Shang the whole thing.
However, her intimate manner on the phone caught Wu Xuemei's attention: "Oh, look at you, the person you met at Tianwang Film and Television Company is actually your boyfriend, tell me, he is the lucky guy,
You can capture the heart of our little princess. Hurry and introduce her to me!!!"
Liu Xi rolled her eyes and said, "He's very busy. I'll introduce him to you next time." Liu Xi raised her phone and continued, "He said it doesn't matter if the news is exposed, and it can also be used by "Transformers"
It has brought a lot of attention. He also said that he suggested that you post this news now, which can increase your qualifications a lot. He will send someone over later to make copies of the exposure information for later use."
"Can it be exposed?? He said there is no problem??"
"Well, no problem."
"Is he trying to trick me? Who is he? Can he talk about anything?"
"What he said is not wrong." Liu Xi said decisively.
"Okay! I'll expose it right away!" Wu Xuemei stood up quickly.
