Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh unrealizable good idea
"If nothing else goes wrong, "The Matrix" will be released next summer."
Sun Peng didn't hide anything about the temptation from several big bosses, and said with a smile: "Actually, if we rush it, it should not be a problem to release it during the Lunar New Year period at the end of the year. But you also know that it takes time to do special effects, so it is released
It’s a good choice for next summer…and I think it’ll be fun to compete with Steve and Michael.”
"Haha, "The Sixth Sense" will be released this summer, and my competitors are you and Michael."
Hearing what Sun Peng said, Liang Ren couldn't help but joke.
Michael Pitt and Steve Lucas' sci-fi blockbuster will be released next summer, but super A-list stars will also have an action movie "The Fugitive" released this summer - it has the same name as a blockbuster on earth, but the plot is completely
They are two different action movies. If we look at the release date, The Sixth Sense is released in early July, and "The Fugitive" happens to be released two weeks after "The Sixth Sense". Of course, the two are in a competitive relationship.
.
However, Michael Pitt was a little curious about Liang Ren's statement: "I know that "The Sixth Sense" and "The Fugitive" have similar schedules, but what do you mean when you say that we are also in a competitive relationship with him?"
Michael Pitt pursed his lips at Sun Peng and was a little puzzled.
Looking at Steve Lucas next to him, he seemed a little puzzled. Liang Ren said with a smile: "Because there will be a "The Bourne Identity 2" released at the end of July, and that was also a script written by him! However,
Bourne's first film didn't do very well at the U.S. box office, so you probably don't care too much."
"The Bourne Identity 2?!"
Michael Pitt frowned, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
Yes, this Chinese spy movie did not do well at the box office in the United States, especially for a person of his level. The total box office in North America of less than 20 million US dollars means a disastrous failure. But as a professional filmmaker,
How could Michael Pitt not see the beauty of this movie? And since it landed on the American online platform, the number of viewers and ratings of this movie are not low!
For such a movie, how will the sequel fare?
Even the most experienced Lucas director has no way to judge, because if the quality of the second part is average, it may be a high probability that it will repeat the box office trajectory of the first part; but if the quality of the second part directly catches up with the first part,
, doubling it two or three times does not seem impossible.
Just when Michael Pitt was frowning secretly, Sun Peng smiled and said: "Brother Liang, what you said is wrong. I obviously wrote "The Sixth Sense" as well, so how can it be said to be the same as "The Bourne Identity 2"?
Is it a competitive relationship? And their release dates are one month apart!"
Hearing what Sun Peng said, the corners of Michael Pitt's mouth suddenly twitched.
If these two movies are not in competition, what is "The Fugitive" with a release date right in between them? And if "The Sixth Sense" is a completely different type of movie, then "The Bourne Identity" happens to be too
The genre of "The Fugitive" is a 100% hit! Perhaps in the United States, "The Fugitive" has an absolute advantage, but when it comes to China...
Just when Michael Pitt was worried about his new movie, Liang Ren himself had more on his mind.
In fact, when "Frozen" won three consecutive weekly box office championships in the United States, and the total box office exceeded 300 million US dollars, Liang Ren had already begun to pay attention to Sun Peng - of course, this does not mean that Liang Ren did not pay attention to Lao Bai before.
It's just that that kind of attention is not at the same level as it is now.
And when the North American box office of "Frozen" exceeded 360 million US dollars, this emphasis was once again raised to a higher level!
Then this big brother in the Chinese film industry knew a lot of things, and he also understood the storm that this old man would stir up in the film field in the future: this summer there will be "The Bourne Identity 2" and "The Sixth Sense", and at the end of the year
There is "Taken 2 - True Lies", and next summer there will be "The Matrix" and a second animation cooperating with the Japanese; as for the end of next year or the summer of the next year, maybe "The Lion King" and the old
The new film directed by Bai himself will be released...
Every time he thinks of this series of movies, Liang Ren can't help but take a deep breath.
The number of movies is not a big problem, and the average number of three movies a year is not particularly exaggerated. However, if you calculate the shooting costs of these movies, you will find that Liang Ren’s own "The Sixth Sense" is at best average.
, it’s so different from “The Matrix” or “The Lion King”!
"Actually, I'm more interested in Sun's soundtrack!"
At this time, the big director who had no competition with any of them this summer spoke up. Steve Lucas looked at Sun Peng and said with a smile: "Especially when he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song.
, I know I regret not being able to cooperate with Sun before..."
When he said these words, Lucas's eyes also twinkled fiercely.
He didn't really value Sun Peng's scoring ability. After all, in his capacity, he hired Hollywood scoring masters, and it was impossible to be worse than Sun Peng. But as a commercial director, Lucas also knew that if the other party
If it really wins the Best Original Song Award this time, it will be a very good gimmick when promoting the movie in the future, at least it will be very effective in the big market of China.
Liang Ren also agreed with this, and nodded with a smile: "Indeed, he just won the Grammy Award for Best Production! To be honest, I am already looking forward to King Luo Chengluo's new album this summer!"
Hearing what the two said, even Michael Pitt narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "If you say that, should I regret not taking on the movie "The Matrix"? Haha..."
Smiling, Michael Pitt suddenly had an idea, his eyes lit up and he said: "By the way, maybe the four of us can collaborate on a movie in the future. That would definitely be very interesting, right?"
"Four of us? One movie?"
This suggestion made the other three people stunned at the same time, and then they all became happy soon.
This suggestion sounds really cool.
Two Americans, one is one of the three major directors in Hollywood, and the other is one of the few top-tier actors; two Chinese, one is a big brother in the film industry, and the other can compete with almost everyone else by relying on scripts and soundtracks.
We are all equal, what would happen if these four people collaborated on a movie?
You can tell with your thighs that it will be a super big production!
Unfortunately the problem is...
Putting aside the wishes of the four people, which film company can afford such a lineup?
Let’s not talk about the basic salary of Michael Pitt and Liang Ren, which starts at least 20 million US dollars. Which one of Steve Lucas and Lao Bai is a fuel-efficient lamp? Not to mention the current status of the four of them, the box office
The profit sharing starts from ten points, plus peripheral dividends and so on. If we really get together to make a movie...
Movie companies provide money and efforts, and then work for them in vain?
