Chapter 152: Shengtang's plan for the next three years
"The Lion King" and "True Lies" were scripts that Liu Lang gave to Lucas. These two films will also be important projects for Shengtang in the next two years. Of course, Shengtang Company also has a creative team, many well-known
Screenwriters will write scripts for them. For example, Liu Lang saw a movie called "The Life of William Wallace" yesterday. Liu Lang didn't pay attention to it at first. After casually flipping through two pages, he discovered that the script was very similar to a movie from his previous life.
A movie called "Braveheart".
Lucas told him that it was written by an Irish playwright based on local legends in his hometown. There is no doubt that this is the movie directed by and starring Mel Gibson.
This movie is about the war between the Irish nation and the English nation. The protagonist is an Irishman, who has been suppressed and insulted by the English nation, so he leads a group of like-minded comrades to fight against the other side for his own nation.
But they were no match for the powerful English, but even when faced with a desperate situation, even when faced with the other party's high-ranking officials and generous salaries, the protagonist never thought of compromising. In the end, he was caught by the enemy and sentenced to death. When he was put under the guillotine
When he was defeated, the enemy gave him a chance and would let him go as long as he admitted defeat in front of his compatriots. However, he looked at death as if he were at home and looked at those desperate compatriots shouting two words: freedom!
Liu Lang still vividly remembers the scene where the protagonist shouts for freedom. This scene gave him a huge shock, so he was deeply impressed by this movie.
Lucas also told him that the screenwriter was Irish, and one of his favorite songs was "Only Time" written by Liu Lang. This song is as popular in Ireland as their national anthem, so he
I think Liu Lang will also like this script very much.
Of course Liu Lang liked this script, because the movie "Braveheart" based on this script won the two most important awards for Best Picture and Best Director at the 68th Academy Awards in 1996.
, as well as two statuettes for Best Original Music and Best Cinematography, it can be said to be the biggest winner of the Oscars that year.
In the past life, this script should have fallen into the hands of Mel Gibson. This person acted in a movie called "Lethal Weapon" three years ago and achieved success. Of course, the so-called success means making tens of millions of dollars.
, in front of Shengtang Company, this is called failure. Different realms have different perspectives on the problem.
Anyway, Mel Gibson is also a little famous in Hollywood, a second-rate actor, maybe.
Liu Lang immediately decided to invest in this movie. As for who to star in, Liu Lang still preferred Mel Gibson. After all, this guy gave Liu Lang a deep image in his previous life, but I'm afraid he won't be the director.
The reason why he was able to direct this movie in his previous life was that he established a film production company three years later. As the person in charge and also the director, he was able to direct this movie. However, with Shengtang's current reputation, he is not lacking.
The famous director, Mel Gibson, only needs to be a good actor. As for who will direct the film, Lucas can just choose more directors who are experienced in shooting big scenes.
In addition to "Braveheart", Quentin Tarantino is also preparing for his own new movie. His last movie "Reservoir Dogs" earned 180 million at the box office, which is more than the first "Pulp"
"Novel" has lost a lot. Of course, this movie still made more than 100 million US dollars, but the rate of return has dropped a lot. You must know that the rate of return of "Pulp Fiction" is 3,000%, which once again proves Liu Lang's creation
able
Incomparable, Quentin Tarantino thinks he is far inferior, but this guy is still full of confidence. Liu Lang's creative ability is great, but his director's style is unique. He used "Pulp Fiction"
The circular shooting method is refreshing, and "Reservoir Dogs" also shows a kind of violent aesthetics, which is fatal to people's appeal. This way of expression also established his status in Hollywood.
In addition to the projects planned by Shengtang Company, it also needs to participate in the film investment of Fox and Disney. Liu Lang read the introductions provided by the other party for several films that are about to be produced. Among them, Fox's "Home Alone" must be invested, and Disney must invest in it.
The company did not have any good movies this year, but they planned to release an animated movie called "Aladdin" two years later. Liu Lang was very interested and decided to invest when the time came. Liu Lang also told the other party that he would write for the movie.
Song.
With this series decided, Shengtang Company will have no shortage of movies in the next three years.
In addition to the film business, Liu Lang will not forget the record business. For him, songwriting is a good job that saves time and makes money. As long as he wants to, he can write nearly a hundred good songs in one day.
, even the arrangement is done for you, you just need to find someone to sing.
Liu Lang "wrote" a total of seven songs this time, two for the "male god group", both of which were the main songs of the "Backstreet Boys" in the previous life, and the remaining songs were all top ten songs on the Billboard.
.
Ye Jinsheng has become a little "numb" with these lyrics and music. The genres of "Boss" are becoming more and more extensive, including blues, rap, lyrical, and pastoral. These are all written by "Boss" in China? Is it possible that "Boss" wrote them in China?
Are there more types of music played now than in the United States?
"Brother Ye's song "When i'm with you" is the main song of the male idol group's next album. We must work on it and strive to get another super platinum title!"
The song "When i'm with you" was a Westlife Boy's masterpiece in a previous life, and Liu Lang took it over by the way.
In the past three years, the "male god group" has released a total of three albums. For each album, Liu Lang will write three songs himself, and the remaining songs will be handed over to other songwriters. Hollywood songwriters are also a group of capable people.
Of course, most of them can't compare with Liu Lang's, but they still wrote two popular songs, which are already top-notch. These songs have never appeared in previous lives. They are the butterfly effect brought by Liu Lang.
The three albums have sold a total of 60 million copies, each of which is super platinum, and has won ten Grammy Awards. As for other awards, it is even more generous. It has won almost all music awards in Europe and the United States.
, has become the idol of young people in this era.
Shengtang was already preparing to release their fourth album, and Liu Lang happened to give the song "When i'm with you" to Ye Jinsheng.
"Mr. Liu, all of our singers have achieved super-platinum results, so now the company's standard for successful record distribution is five million copies. Even so, more than 70% of the singers have achieved this result. As for the male idol group...
…Mr. Liu, their worst achievement was to release 17 million copies, so it is not difficult for them to have a super platinum record.”
A super platinum record refers to a sales volume of more than three million copies. This achievement is a dream for any singer, because once this goal is achieved, he will enter the ranks of the first-class artists in the United States. However, such an achievement is not possible in St.
Tang is basically the minimum. As for Shengtang's main male idol group, the starting price is tens of millions, and the same standard was used by Adais back then.
