Chapter 1076: Watanabe-san

January 28, cloudy.

Tsutsui Kenichiro hurriedly rushed to the headquarters of Toho Films with a small briefcase and two other staff members of the newspaper.

The reception hall was temporarily arranged in the compartment, and many media colleagues received invitations.

At this moment, the meeting has not yet started, and everyone is making preparations. Only a few staff members on the scene guide the order.

"Have you found out? What news is Dongbao going to announce?"

"Didn't they host a group of Hollywood filmmakers at the airport a few days ago. Top, Lyman-Last..."

"Oh, remember. Pacific Rim?"

"That's kind of interesting. The reception was worth it."

There are many people, and they all eat a bowl of rice, so it is inevitable to exchange opinions with each other.

Zheng Zhi headed to each other, making a lot of noise. The press officer came to the stage and said a few scenes, and the venue suddenly became much quieter.

At 10 o'clock, Lehman and Tuo followed Dongbao's people.

I saw him sitting on the stage with a row of microphones and an interpreter behind him.

Of course, the protagonist is not him, he is only responsible for nodding.

Just like Wan D wants to break into Hollywood, Dongbao will definitely be willing to release this good news.

As an extra note, most of Dongbao’s exported films are represented by Warner Bros. in the US market, not the Japanese-owned label Colombia. In fact, the tycoons of the Japanese film market are really not very close to Sony. , it is even said that it comes from the same lineage, and they compete more cruelly. After all, manufacturers such as Warner do not take the Japanese market as their main base, and only some imported films compete directly with them, and most of the imported films are agents. It's made by their local label.

What does this belong to? interests.

Back at the press conference, Dongbao's publicity officer reviewed the 480 million international box office of "Pacific Rim" and boasted that the film's various achievements could not be separated from Dongbao's participation, and then he began to turn to the sequel to the series. .

"... There's been a lot of news lately. Every day I receive interview invitations from journalists and friends. We simply arrange a press conference to talk about the movie "Godzilla" that is the same source as "Pacific Rim"."

As soon as the title of the film came out, enough was revealed, and the reporters and media below were surging, and they all felt that there was a breaking point.

This is also normal, Godzilla, this is the iconic monster in the field of Japanese special photography.

"What's the budget for this work?"

"Will our local excellent actors be invited to participate?"

"You have the confidence to present a positive Japanese element in front of a worldwide audience?"

"Is it still directed by Gyro?"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk about it first." The propaganda officer pressed his hands down, and said in a hurry: "The script has been determined at present, and it is planned to be released in September or October. The original production team such as Top is responsible for the shooting. Bao, Huayi, and Bona have assembled the best people from the three places to build them. As for the actors, we will definitely find our own actors to take on a certain role..."

As soon as the voice fell, the audience raised their hands.

"Will it be the protagonist?"

"Do you have someone you like?"

The propaganda officer who passed through the bottom in advance said: "I will definitely not fool the audience with some face-showing shots. If the investment budget is not lower than the first one, it can be compared to 200 million US dollars."

"But the main investor in this series is Firefly, and Dongbao's share is not much." Some reporters questioned.

"There is no doubt that Hollywood is the center of the world's film market. They have enough industrial base to shoot more magnificent special effects masterpieces. We authorize the image of monsters to cooperate in shooting, which is one of the attempts. Internationalization can make our The cultural element goes further and has more influence in the world, not just at home.”

Compared with the euphemism of the propaganda officer, a top executive of Dongbao was even more blunt, "We have made more than 20 versions of the movie of the same name of "Godzilla", and the relatively small geographical market makes the box office of the Godzilla series not good. Its value is also decreasing, and we hope to expand the radiant surface of communication through cooperation with Hollywood."

Speaking of which, Dongbao doesn’t particularly care about the investment share. The Japanese distribution rights of the entire series are in their hands. The more popular the series, the more marketable the copyrights of Godzilla and related monsters they hold. For them, derivatives and surrounding money are not fragrant, not to mention that Firefly bears the most investment risks. It is normal in the industry for them to divide the box office more, so people can’t let people promote their work for free.

"Okay, let's go here, thank you reporter friends." A reminder came from the headset, and the propaganda officer hurriedly finished.

After chatting further, Firefly felt that the Japanese did not welcome them. Dongbao didn't want to offend a studio that was so capable of monetizing and increasing the value of the characters.

"..."

The venue was noisy and people left, but the media was boiling like boiling water, contacting the editor-in-chief while recording.

When the news spread, it naturally garnered a lot of attention, but Lehman was ready to go back.

......

The next morning, had breakfast.

Dongbao's people greeted each other and moved to a reception room.

"Minister, the actors are here."

"Come in."

Hula La came in and several are all related to Dongbao.

After all, there are only so many actors who have a role in the scene. Lyman is not like the previous generation of Legendary Films to make a "Godzilla". As a result, most of the perspective is on the actors, and the combat scenes are also pitiful - Godzilla and Muto's battles in general have not added up for 35 minutes, and he has a golden mountain in his hand without knowing it. Even the leather case "Godzilla" shot in Japan is known to highlight the destructive power of monsters and the weakness of humans in front of monsters. Only the US side Such arrogant people will come to show the equipment.

To be honest, if the 2014 version was not at the level of Hollywood's mature film industry, the structure of the virtual monster of Godzilla was very delicate, and it had already hit the streets, and it would have won 500 million at the global box office?

Anyway, it is impossible for Lyman to name a movie named after Godzilla. The protagonist played less time in the whole movie than the villain Muto, and his presence was barely passable.

"...This is Ken Watanabe, a very capable actor."

Dongbao people warmly introduced.

Of course, Ken Watanabe, a familiar face in Hollywood, "The Last Samurai", "Mystery of the Shadow", "Inception", Nolan will find him as a partner as soon as he has a Japanese role.

"He plays the director of a consortium that advocates giant beasts and spy on wormholes in the script."

Watanabe Ken bowed and saluted.

Lyman and Top looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction.

As for the rest, Dongbao did not take the initiative to recommend it.

It's just that important roles are given to powerful factions, and they are responsible for showing their faces and attracting attention to characters who are handsome or beautiful. Generally speaking, Hollywood blockbusters use this kind of combination, and the top is no matter who is in the play, he only misses him. Godzilla vs. Muto, the concept map has been drawn for several editions...
