After seeing that Lang Chen seemed to be relieved, Sun Peng quickly turned his head and looked at Hu Tian, who was as stunned as Xiao Lang just now: "I have indeed just written a script, and I am in the process of discussing it with Nan Hai."
While we were talking... I think the male protagonist in it is quite suitable for you!"
In order to praise his cousin, Sun Peng made relatively major changes to the original version of "The Mummy".
However, the basic main plot and content have not been changed. The heroine has only been given a new set of abilities, and the hero's role has not been deleted in any way. So simply speaking, this movie needs someone who can hold up the scene.
The male star who plays opposite Lin Lin!
That kid Lang Chen is obviously not good enough.
Putting aside his acting skills, experience, etc., just because of his age, Sun Peng couldn't change the male protagonist to look like him - Hu Tian, who is in his thirties and almost forty years old, is just right!
Moreover, he is famous enough, and his size and appearance make him a good choice.
So after giving a brief explanation to the two of them, Lang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt a little regretful, Sun Peng made it clear, as long as it wasn't because of his excessive words just now, it would be fine.
.Coming back to the topic, the joke Sun Peng played on him just now really shocked Lang Chen!
As for what Hu Tian said, I was really tempted now.
Originally he was just a little excited because of Sun Peng's words, but to be honest, Hu Tian still had a lot of worries in his heart. But when he heard that the production company was Nanhai Pictures, these worries disappeared immediately. As a domestic
One of the real giants, Hu Tian is very aware of the strength of Nanhai Pictures, and even a super large-scale production can be done without any problem!
but...
"As for the male protagonist, I only have the right to make suggestions."
Seeing that Hu Tian was obviously a little moved, Sun Peng said with a smile: "But to be honest, I really think you are quite suitable, so after the negotiation here is completed, you can ask your agent to talk to Nanhai...
.Of course, I will definitely make suggestions to them."
"Well, that's it."
Rubbing his chin, Hu Tian pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Okay! But Xiaopeng, can you let me read the draft of the script first? Don't worry, I understand the rules. I won't even tell my agent, absolutely."
No third person will see it!"
At Hu Tian's level, it would definitely be unrealistic to just agree to Sun Peng if he wants to open his mouth.
Lang Chen has just entered the film industry every two years. To put it bluntly, he doesn't have much confidence other than traffic, so it's a great thing to be able to star in Lao Bai's script, but Hu Tian is different. After all, apart from him
In addition, there are other factors to consider, such as your agent and your own studio. In addition, the film company, which we usually work closely with on investment, must also discuss it. It is impossible to be confused just because it is Lao Bai's script.
The heat rushes upward!
Moreover, personal role positioning is also something Hu Tian must consider.
Just like the villain played by Lang Chen in "The Matrix", even if you doubled the salary, Hu Tian would never play it...
Sun Peng also understood this, nodded and smiled: "No problem, I will send you a copy later!"
There is nothing to worry about. Sun Peng believes that Hu Tian will not do anything with the script.
"Okay, thank you in advance."
As soon as he clicked, Hu Tian nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at Lang Chen, who was full of envy, and changed the topic with a smile: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet!"
"Ah? What do you congratulate me for?"
After being slightly startled, Sun Peng asked in confusion.
"Congratulations for what? Of course it's the box office of "The Lion King"!"
Hu Tian smacked his lips and said with an unhappy face: "Congratulations on the script you wrote for once again winning the box office championship. The domestic box office is almost 3 billion, right? And the overseas box office is also close to the 500 million mark... Tsk, tsk, what?
Is the overseas box office growing faster than domestically? If you compare it, my "Smile and Say You Love Me" is simply a scumbag!"
With a long sigh, Hu Tian felt quite depressed.
He started his career by starring in TV series, and romance movies can be regarded as his main career after entering the film industry. I thought that this new movie had a strong lineup and a large investment, and it would make more than one billion, but I didn't expect that it would not receive a good reputation after it was released.
Jia, seeing that one billion is a big problem! Look at this guy's "The Lion King" again, it's like a knife to the heart!
"Pfft!"
Hearing his words, Lang Chen next to him couldn't help laughing.
Sun Peng couldn't help but laugh, and shook his head while suppressing a smile: "This "The Lion King" is not mine, I just wrote a script, and doing it well is what Americans are capable of! But after hearing what you said,
I also think the box office performance of "The Lion King" is good, and I hope it can catch up to or even surpass "Frozen". That would be perfect..."
...
In the Internet age, the reputation of a movie has an increasing impact on the box office.
As the reputation of "The Lion King" spreads on countless people's Weibo and Moments, the box office of "The Lion King" is growing steadily in China, Europe and the United States, or in Asia, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
But when the time came to the end of January, which was approaching the Chinese New Year, the box office growth inevitably came to an end.
One month is enough to exhaust most of its potential.
And it is very regrettable that although the performance of "The Lion King" leaves people speechless, no matter which figure is given by any box office estimating agency, it is still at least 50 million US dollars away from "Frozen"
What a gap! In other words, Sun Peng’s imagination of being the box office champion of animated movies is completely gone.
A little uncomfortable, but that's to be expected.
After all, if we talk about the factors affecting production time, "Frozen" must be more suitable for this era. And on the other hand, animations with human protagonists have long become mainstream, such as "The Lion King"
The anthropomorphic model cannot be said to be absolutely outdated, but it is indeed difficult to impress many children...
But to be able to achieve the current results, the power of "The Lion King" is evident!
So when Oscar once again sent an invitation letter to Sun Peng, and "The Lion King" was successfully nominated for Best Score and Best Animation, Sun Peng was really not surprised at all - maybe it is not necessarily better than animation in this world.
Excellent, but at least this year, it is definitely the best one!
only...
After hearing Sun Peng's answer without hesitation, the agent asked in confusion: "Xiao Peng, what do you mean you don't want to go? This is the Oscar..."
"What's wrong with Oscar? Not interested."
Waving his hand, Sun Peng said casually: "Jiajia is pregnant and can't live without people; I already have a new book in mind, and I'm busy writing the outline... Besides, I've only attended the Oscars once.
That's enough. If I participate again, I still hope it will be when DreamWorks' own animation "Mulan" is nominated..." (To be continued)
