Sun Peng didn't want to delay the preparations for the Little Wizard and Little Magician movie, so he directly called Liu Chang and asked her to finalize the publication before New Year's Day.
Once an error is discovered, it must be corrected immediately.
As for the sixth book in the two series, Sun Peng also sent the manuscript directly and told Liu Chang that before he started filming "Avengers", the finale of the two sets of books would also be given to her.
Anyway, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has been copied a long time ago, and only Sun Peng, the finale of the Little Wizard, still needs to think about it.
After appeasing the worried Wang Zishan, Sun Peng still had to deal with Heymens Pictures who came to visit him because of the wonderful performance of "Night at the Museum" at the first weekend. The filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" hadn't even started yet, and they were already thinking about Sun Peng.
It’s time for the next script.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Teto."
When he reluctantly answered the call from the president of Heymens Pictures, Sun Peng said very helplessly: "In order to prepare for three super theme parks and accumulate enough IP, I have taken out all my inventory. "Pirates of the Caribbean"
"It's one of them..."
…
"Yes, I am currently working on the sixth and seventh books of the Harry Potter and Hanbo series. In addition, I have to prepare for "Avengers". I am afraid that I will not be able to write any more scripts in a short time."
…
"Of course, Mr. Teto, of course! This is not a business for Heymens, absolutely not! No film company will be able to get my script for a long time in the future..."
…
After hanging up the phone, Sun Peng threw the phone aside and rubbed his temples with a headache: "Damn it, do they think I am a script wholesaler? "Night at the Museum" was released just five days ago, right?
"
"There is no way, who can make it have a high box office?"
Spreading his hands, Liu Changle said: "On Monday and Tuesday, the box office was over 300 million, which means that the box office this week should be at least 1 billion! The box office in North America was nearly 2 billion in ten days, and the North American box office should also be 150 million.
About ten thousand... If I were the boss of Heymens, let alone holding back, I would have to follow up with the script!"
Not to mention people who are thick-skinned, but if you are too thick-skinned, are you worthy of being the CEO?
And the bigger a Hollywood company like Heymens is, the more shameless it is as a necessary quality for their president. Otherwise, how can they make money?
So he rolled his eyes, and Sun Peng waved his hands helplessly: "Forget it, Sister Chang, anyway, in the next three years... no, it should be said that before the release of "Avengers", in addition to the Avengers series and "Sunflower Story"
I will no longer write any other scripts except for the animation of "The Collection", you must remember this."
"Oh? Are you going to write the book "Another World in the Pen"?"
Liu Chang didn't feel surprised at all, but asked with eyes shining.
""Another World in the Pen"? What does this have to do with it?"
After being stunned for a moment, Sun Peng twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and said with a helpless smile: "Sister Chang, that book is a big one, and I can't finish it in just two or three years. I just want to focus on revenge.
It’s just about alliances and writing books.”
"Okay, okay, I get it."
He reached out and pinched a grape and put it into his mouth. Liu Chang nodded casually and said, "Whatever you say is fine... By the way, do you want to go to this year's Oscars and Grammys?"
"I definitely won't go to the Grammys. If it's the Oscars..."
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Peng smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't want to go at first, but Lucas called me three times and it made me feel like I had made a big mistake if I didn't go, so now I'm a little undecided.
Already."
After scratching his head, Sun Peng felt a little helpless.
He really doesn't have any objections to the Oscar. After all, it is an award that favors literature and art, and most of Sun Peng's scripts are for money. Therefore, after "The Embalmer" that year, Sun Peng's interest in the Oscar began to rise sharply.
To be fair, even if "The Martian" received a nomination for best screenplay this time, it still doesn't hold much hope.
Sun Peng knew that Oscar would never give him another award easily.
It has already achieved great success in business and has posed a serious threat to Hollywood. If Lao Bai wins another Oscar, wouldn't it mean that he will be crushed from the inside out? In that case, Lao Bai's reputation will inevitably increase.
One floor, this is something that many Hollywood filmmakers don’t want to see.
As for the awards for "Tomorrow's War", do they have anything to do with Sun Peng?
Thinking of this, Sun Peng no longer hesitated and said simply: "Forget it, I'll call Lucas later and explain it carefully... I won't go!"
"ok!"
Nodding, Liu Chang made a note in his notebook, and then continued: "What about the domestic awards? This year it is held in the capital, are you interested in going there to take a look? "The Martian" has a very good chance of winning the award.
Big."
Sun Peng smiled and asked casually: "Oh? Best script or best editing?"
"Haha, best director and best film!"
"Um?"
"No doubt, I'm serious."
Looking at Sun Peng's stunned expression, Liu Chang twisted his erection and smiled slightly: "I know that Chinese film awards rarely go to science fiction films because Chen Cheng and the others publicly criticized this one a few years ago, but...
…Maybe this time it’s really different!”
"Oh? Haha, that's a bit interesting."
Now Zisun Peng could no longer treat him casually. He kept his body straight and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Magnolia Award, the highest award for local Chinese films.
Although its background is incomparable with other Oscars, after years of hard work in the Chinese film industry, Magnolia's influence has gradually caught up with the three major European awards. Of course, this is influenced by the progress of Chinese films themselves.
There is also the influence of China’s huge market and the strong support of Chinese filmmakers.
But no matter what, the influence of the Magnolia Award is increasing day by day, which can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to more than ten years ago.
However, like the Oscars, this Chinese local award also has a special preference for "artistic". Let alone science fiction movies, it is difficult to win awards for almost all commercial blockbusters, which are basically Best Special Effects, Best Editing and
Awards such as Best Art Direction.
Anyway, it is almost impossible to win the Best Director, Best Picture, or even four Best Actor awards!
So after hearing Liu Chang's words, Sun Peng was really surprised!
In this year's Magnolia Awards, "The Martian" did receive a lot of nominations, including Best Director and Best Picture, as well as Best Actor for Hu Tian. However, Sun Peng thought it was just the result of running with him, but now I heard Liu Changyi say
, is there really something wrong?
"Don't worry, they don't dare to fool us."
Seeing that Sun Peng seemed a little unconvinced, Liu Chang smiled slightly and said softly: "After all, in China of this era, even if they are the organizing committee of the Magnolia Award, they would not dare to deceive you, Mr. Bai..."
