Chapter 755： Passive ", ticket)

High-level people such as Avi Allard are still resisting, and because Brian Lord needs to lower the price to ensure his interests, the Marvel acquisition cannot be completed immediately.

However, the situation is good.

Anyway, Marvel and Paramount jointly developed the project, and the market value continued to increase. In the end, it was acquired by Disney for 4.2 billion US dollars in 2009 because some shareholders left the venue and added film source incentives.

At that time, people in the know could see that Marvel had the prototype of a gold mine, but they could not escape the end of being in power by others.

After all, there are hidden dangers within Marvel, people are not in harmony, there are many contradictions, and they can't go long.

The reason why there is no problem in the front is because there is no next family willing to take over, just let it go.

Laiman went to the company, and Wen Ziren also came shortly after.

Since the filming of "Dead Silence", this guy has supervised the production of "Chainsaw 5", and later went to Australia and made a documentary "Hitchcock-like" with some filmmakers.

I just returned to Los Angeles not long ago, and I was busy enough.

It's just that Lehmann is busy with company affairs or preparing projects, and he is everywhere to relax and inspire creative inspiration.

And this time I came here, of course, for a new project.

When filming "Dead Silence", Lyman mentioned the ghost universe and asked him to think about how to link some horror films in a world background, which made the work continue to increase and attract fans.

After that, Wen Ziren took this proposal to heart, and really felt that there would be a market for doing so.

After being seated, there is no need to be too polite between the two.

In addition, Wen Ziren is a wonderful person. Later generations will be able to direct "Fast and Furious 7", and they still like to tinker with low-budget horror movies. Get into the niche market and can't get out.

You must know that horror films are a step to increase their value and prove their ability. Many new directors will choose to make horror films because the cost of shooting this kind of subject matter is less, but few directors are like Wen Ziren, who really take horror films. as the direction of most interest.

But the ghost universe is a new thing. I only heard that one story was not finished, and it was made into a trilogy. I have never heard of background sharing. Each story is independent and connected.

This year, Marvel has not made any efforts, who knows how to play the concept.

I finally came up with some ideas, but I still didn't know how to implement it, so he came over.

And his source of inspiration was a news item he saw while filming a documentary in Australia.

A middle-class father returns from a hockey game to find his wife and children in a pool of blood...

The reason is that a group of thugs stormed into the gold shop with all kinds of weapons in their hands...

But this sudden incident was not a simple robbery, because the gang saw more than objects and money, they also saw the robbery as some kind of ritual for their boss - the cultists Kill innocent people.

Wen Ziren was very resentful: "Lyman, you know, I just wanted to make a critical semi-documentary film, but when I wrote the script with Wall, I always wanted to make it a ghost in my mind. The work, and the direction of the adaptation is not clear..."

Lyman laughed.

If he hadn't stated the concept of linkage in advance, this drama would probably be the drama "Death Penalty" made by Wen Ziren. The box office was mediocre and did not cause much trouble.

But with his meddling, the story is definitely different.

In fact, this murder case can completely introduce the script idea of ​​"revenge for unjust death", and in the setting, the greater the obsession, the stronger the strength after death, and the clearer the memory of the life.

Therefore, the mother who protects the first death of her children has the greatest obsession. She is so powerful that she can act without possessing any equipment, while her children have no resentment, because they are ignorant and even lack a lot of memory. If there is no provision from her mother Protection, should be dissipated soon...

Under the setting of ghost survival, there are some power divisions.

Then the rest is much easier.

After the mother took revenge and tortured and killed the thugs in the prison, the house became a haunted house.

My father lost his family and left the sad place. A few years later, the house was moved in by new tenants, and a series of strange things happened. In general, Wen Ziren himself could write about how to scare people and adjust the atmosphere.

The puppet Billy in "Dead Silence" played a lot of work, and the scary index was very high.

Of course, the ending of the new drama "The Bad House" must be that the exorcist succeeded in suppressing the evil spirits, but it could not be completely resolved because the grievances were too great. This is the same as the semi-open ending in "Dead Silence". a bit.

Lehman said it casually, because he was somewhat familiar with the routines of horror movies, but it made Wen Ziren suddenly enlightened.

What he struggles with is the linkage background and system delineation. To solve this part, he can do the rest by himself.

After having the creative direction, Wen Ziren left in a hurry.

And Lehmann added a "Haunted House" to this year's filming project.

In this way, there have been 7 productions this year - "The Edge of Society", "Her", "Twilight", "Hitchhiker", "I Am a Hero", "Haunted House", "Juno".

Of course, if Firefly wants to make it bigger, there are still few film sources, and it can even prepare for anything next year.

......

New Line Cinema.

Shay is also busy with anticipation.

After more than a month of preparation, the main creator of "Golden Compass" has begun to take shape.

This time, the new line is really a big move.

Mrs. Cruz Nicole Kidman, new 007 agent Daniel Craig, Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, and Gandalf Ian McKellen are such veteran actors.

It's a little pity that the new line originally planned to invite the two leading actors of "Casino Royale" together, but Eva did not agree. Otherwise, the topic is higher.

Of course, this combination is equally positive.

You need to have good looks, good acting skills, and even hype without a lack of traffic. The only disadvantage is that it costs a lot - a few people together took almost 32 million in salary, and this drama is a child actor Dakko Ta-Blu-Richards has the most roles, but Shay believes this list will make more money.

Not long after, Chris Weitz arrived.

The highly acclaimed "Single Parent Transfer Student" was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. After taking over "The Golden Compass", the script was unanimously recognized by the new line executives under his control——

Eye-catching content, fantastical characters, psychological and philosophical depth takes place in a world full of magic, but it is about the human soul, loyalty and kindness, etc., and more importantly One factor is because this is a fantasy epic that revolves around precocious 12-year-old Lila Bellaquia.

That is to say, the market aimed at "Rockin's Compass" is to please teenagers and attract their parents to accompany them to watch, just like the popular "Harry Potter".

In addition to the slightly different development and background of the story, in Shay's view, "The Golden Compass" also has some elements of "Harry Potter".

And the production budget of about 180 million is enough to shoot a grand fantasy world.

After chatting for a while, the two prepared to contact the reporter to warm up in advance.

Is it worth arousing the audience's curiosity and expectations? The film has not yet started, but corresponding guidance is essential.

Although everyone is confident of success, publicity has always been the most important part of the film.

The reporters who received the red envelopes were also very face-saving, and asked some very flattering words around the main creator, not some radical questions.

As soon as the money is taken, good things are said, and they are happy.

"When are you going to start?"

"next week."

"You can mention anything."

Chris Weitz nodded and left with a slight ease.

If this project can be successful, he can also rise to the quasi-first-line.

But at that time, whether it was status, reputation or salary, it was a lot higher than it is now, so he personally was very attentive and actively running.

A little hard work is nothing at all.

Waiting for the others to leave, Xie Yi sat in the boss chair and took out a document for approval, but he always had a sense of pride in his heart.

The 180 million project is absolutely generous, and there are several Hollywood companies with such courage.

hum.

Warner, just wait.
