After unifying their ideas, Wang Yaocheng and Xie Yi had a very happy conversation.
"Marvel Entertainment Film Company has now figured out the tricks of the market. It produces A-level commercial blockbusters that add magical and mysterious content, making them more fascinating, exciting scenes, dazzling special effects, and simple and clear plots.
elements of success, no
Pay attention to those sour movie critics. What we shoot is a super cool popcorn movie, without any bullshit. We want the movie audience to enjoy watching it, have fun watching it, and get high. Reflect on war and human nature.
Things we need to do.”
"BOSS has insightful insights and truly understands the psychology of audiences who buy tickets to watch movies. They come to the cinema to have fun. I will never forget this." Shea quickly found his niche.
"Bingo, that's exactly right."
"Thanks to the good teaching from BOSS, Shay understands what to do."
The two were talking
Miss Cetelina knocked on the door lightly and walked in, whispering: "Sir, your meeting has been greatly overdue. It is already noon time. Do you want to..."
"Please inform Ivanka that Mr. Shea will have lunch with us. The film and entertainment industry is a very good industry. Please remind Miss Ivanka to consider it."
"OK."
Miss Cetelina walked as quietly as a cat. Shay followed the blond beauty with his eyes. He suddenly woke up and smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Oh my God! Her temperament is so charming."
"You should compliment her like this to her face. Miss Cetelina will be very happy, but don't try to date her, because I want Miss Cetelina to be more pure, rather than becoming your eyes and ears here."
"Boss..." Shay shouted a little aggrievedly.
Wang Yaocheng waved and smiled: "It's a small joke, you don't have to take it seriously."
If Xie believes it, then there will be no need to mess around in the workplace in the future.
This small knock on the boss must be kept in mind. He doesn’t like career and life to be mixed together. If you forget this, your death will be quite ugly.
Wang Yaocheng continued to explain;
"DreamWorks' problems have always existed. There is a Chinese proverb: One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.
Several major shareholders are not focusing on DreamWorks. It is a wise method for Jeffrey Katzenberg to find a way out, but I don't like the way they do things.
So, Mr. Shea, help me keep an eye on them and see what they are going to do?"
"I will, boss."
Shea has his own news channel and is very confident about it; "I'm sure of this. They can't try to play tricks under my nose. David Geffen's little boys are always aggrieved, and no one is willing to do so."
Serving the old man, as long as they are properly guided, these boys are willing to say anything, even the most secret parts..."
"Ahem...Okay, Shay, I'm not interested in anything else."
Wang Yaocheng coughed twice and had to stop Xie Yi from continuing to show off, but he had to admit that this was a very effective channel and the source of the information was quite reliable.
"There are other film companies. We should collect as much relevant information as possible. I will ask Mr. Pan Shiyi to allocate part of the expenses for this purpose. Marvel Animation does not want to plot against anyone, but it does not want to be kept in the dark either."
Xie nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will form special reports regularly."
"Very good, the consortium will not let anyone's talents be buried."
As the saying goes: give a sweet date after a slap in the face.
Wang Yaocheng was already familiar with this trick, and he said with a kind expression; "The consortium holds the film and television adaptation rights of British female writer JK Rowling's global best-selling "Harry Potter" series, and plans to move it to the summer season next year.
On the big screen.
In view of the widespread popularity of Young Wizards around the world, this will be a popular film series that will last at least ten years. The consortium's expectations for it are no less than those of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and it attaches great importance to it from top to bottom.
I know that you are a descendant of the British aristocracy and have a deeper understanding of this work. You are also an excellent producer and have enough ability to take on important tasks.
So, don't let me down."
This is pie in the sky
As a filmmaker who has been involved in Hollywood, how could Shea not know about the hot film and television adaptation rights of the "Harry Potter" series? This is a big IP that is bound to explode.
Look at the current popularity of the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies, which have grossed billions of dollars in box office around the world, making money easy.
You know that the world-wide best-selling novel "Harry Potter" series has all the potential to become a hit.
Unfortunately, the film and television adaptation rights of this book series were sold to the Royal Family Fund long ago, and other large Hollywood production companies are coveting it to no avail.
After all, it is a big conglomerate with big legs. If you throw some benefits at random, people will not be able to take them.
Xie Yi's heart burst with joy, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He couldn't even say any words of gratitude.
Although the boss has not made it clear that he will be responsible for the "Harry Potter" series, being able to enter the boss's eyes is already an unexpected blessing, and you can't ask for more.
Familiar with all kinds of undercover situations in Hollywood, Shay believes that he will be able to seize this precious opportunity, win the favor of his boss through hard work, and win the final victory.
For this reason, I will use all my energy to suck milk and vow to make some achievements to impress the boss.
From Wang Yaocheng’s perspective;
Consider choosing Shay to be the producer of the "Harry Potter" series. His ability level is top-notch. Looking at the entire Hollywood, there are very few people with higher level than him.
in the original history
Shay has starred in acclaimed and blockbuster films such as "Blade", "Rush Hour", "Austin Powers", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Dead Man" and "The Lord of the Rings", and his abilities are definitely at the top level in Hollywood.
Unfortunately, in this historical time and space
The movie script was successively produced and filmed by Marvel Entertainment Film Company, and Shay fell into decadence even earlier.
Wang Yaocheng knew that he was a stock with super potential, and by entrusting him with the production of the "Harry Potter" series in this way, it was the cycle of cause and effect that helped Shay reach the peak of his life and return to his true appearance in history.
Judging from the lineup of ace producers under Marvel Entertainment Films, the filmmakers who can control the masterpieces of the "Harry Potter" series are not as good as Shay in terms of level and resume.
Pan Shiyi aside, he is only a qualified film company manager, but not a qualified film producer.
Ace producer Huang Baiming counts as one, kicked-away Zeng Zhiwei counts as one, and director and producer Yu Rentai counts as one.
Yu Rentai, nicknamed "The Thousand-faced Flag Bearer", is a Hong Kong director. He directed films such as "The New Midnight Song", "The Legend of the White-haired Witch" and "Fearless" in Hong Kong. After that, he went to the United States to develop his career and achieved good results.
His first Hollywood work "The Haunted Bride" was a box office hit, making him a popular director. Now he is preparing to shoot the horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (also known as "Freddy vs. Jason"), another Marvel Entertainment Film Company
An ace Chinese-American producer.
In addition, there is director and producer Huang Yiyu, who directed the "Death is Coming" series of blockbuster horror films and served as a producer on other films.
The company has foreign producer Kevin Feige, who is currently producing the commercial blockbuster "Iron Man", and veteran practitioner Kathleen Kennedy, who has produced "ET", etc. For one reason or another, they are not suitable for "Harry Potter".
·Potter" series production.
In Wang Yaocheng’s view;
This popular work, written by British female writer JK Rowling, is completely based on the original British style in her mind. It is a work about the growth and adventure of a young magician covered in British clothing.
The themes in the work, the authentic London accent, the oriel windows with the heavy foggy London architectural style, the corner towers, the deep entrance, the red brick walls and the wide porch and other detailed designs are all in the work.
A vivid expression.
Generally speaking, British-style buildings have more windows, and the windows are all protruding, forming a unique architectural style.
Without this framework, not to mention that the original author did not agree, even the "Harry Potter" fans around the world would not agree.
Because of the relationship between ethnicity, culture and blood origin, it is best to use British nationals or British descendants for the script adaptation, main actor selection, stage set construction, director and producer team of the "Harry Potter" series of movies.
Chinese people like Huang Baiming and Yu Rentai who can speak English proficiently are not suitable for making the original British-style "Harry Potter" series of movies.
If done by force
The sensitive and arrogant traits that originate from British blood may not be reflected in the British essence in best-selling works. Audiences in other countries may not be so sensitive, but British descendants in the UK and the United States can definitely see it.
This is like a mainland movie made by Hong Kong people. The words and deeds of the characters in it look fake at first glance. They are similar in appearance but not in spirit. They are complete fakes.
All things considered, Shay is a very good choice.
After so many years of ups and downs in the business world, Wang Yaocheng has now practiced a lot in the city. Without showing any signs of mental activity, he brought Xie Yi to the restaurant.
"Dear, do you think my dress looks good?"
Ivanka ran out like a happy elf, wearing a fitted Chanel pink summer series skirt and crystal high heels, revealing a section of her slender legs.
She has a very good figure, with big breasts and plump hips, and a round waist. She has a typical Aquarius figure.
Moreover, Ivanka’s childlike face with baby fat and 1.80-meter-tall figure combine to become a dazzling beauty. No wonder Wang Yaocheng likes her so much.
"Perfect, everything is perfect. This dress seems to be tailor-made for you, with a high-shine effect."
"How can it be so exaggerated?"
Being praised by her beloved man, Ivanka smiled sweetly and walked into the restaurant holding Wang Yaocheng's arm tightly. Shea behind her was already stunned.
After all, he is a man who stands at the pinnacle of wealth. In addition to being an Oscar-winning actress, the woman next to him also has such a natural beauty. Anyone who shows it is like murdering the film. They are full of envy, jealousy and hatred!
