When Chuan Chenwu learned that the digital field was preparing to shoot the sky-high price of "Te Di Yi", Dian was shocked and roared. () When reporters reported that the production cost was close to 100 million US dollars, many people from big companies opened their mouths in shock. Looking at Hollywood, only the six major companies can make such a big deal. Other companies are beyond their reach, but everyone has neglected the digital field. Digital Field is a new film company that has emerged in the past two years. After its establishment, it has dominated the film industry with a fierce momentum. Moreover, he has mastered the highest technology in the film industry, computer special effects technology. With computer special effects technology, he not only competes with the old film special effects company Industrial Light and Magic, but this time he actually competes with the old film production companies. The digital field is really too great. Crazy.
MGM and Paramount are two major companies that are the frontrunners in Hollywood. They were also very surprised when they heard the news. DreamWorks has taken a step too far this time, but these people are all looking at the digital field. It's hilarious. You know, United Artists Film Company was filming a big production "God's Gate" in Tiannian. Unexpectedly, the effect was a mess and in the end, all money was lost. It was just an old film company that was not managed well and finally closed down. This time in the digital field They actually shot a 100 million US dollar production. As long as the box office is mediocre, it is enough for them to drink. If they are not careful, the digital field company will be in danger, even if it does not go bankrupt, but after the funds are cut off. It is a fatal blow to a special effects company, and it will not be able to recover for at least a few years.
Similarly, American movie audiences are not very optimistic about the digital field, because although the several movies produced by digital field companies are very good, it is now a sluggish period for movies. There are only a few movies with a box office of over 100 million in North America a year. , for a large-scale production worth 100 million US dollars. It¡¯s really difficult.
Journalists all feel that the digital field is playing with fire this time, and I don¡¯t know how they came up with such a shooting plan. The person they most wanted to interview at this time was Mai Chengxiong, but they had no chance because Mai Chengxiong had already boarded the return flight on the day the news was released.
Employees of companies in the digital field were of course the first to hear the news, but now they are not surprised at all. Instead, he was very contemptuous of those people outside who were fussing and fussing about internal information. After Mak Chengxiong came to Hollywood this time, he spent only 100 million yuan to test his skills. One Troy surprised these people. If they knew that Cameron was preparing a more expensive movie, they didn't know what was going on outside. What people will think.
Fortunately, the employees of the digital field company are very pragmatic and did not spread the undecided news, otherwise it would definitely make Hollywood excited. Cameron has not been seen these days, filming this "Titanic" There is so much preparation work ahead of the project. This is really awesome. It's a huge project, and Mak Cheng-hsiung is very bold, if the plan is not sufficient. He wouldn't agree to it even if he was beaten to death, so Cameron went directly to England to find the materials he needed. It was a pity that the production company had already closed down in the blade era, and the two sister ships similar to the Titanic had also unable to find. The Olympic was dismantled, and the Britannic was silent on the seabed shortly after the Titanic accident, so now he can only find fragments of the Titanic through a series of relationships, and finally put it together. The 100 million yuan big production shocked the global film industry, and media from various countries rushed to report on it, so it was not long before Mak returned to Hong Kong. This matter has already spread to Hong Kong, and Mak Cheng-hsiung has not found a chance to tell everyone before.
People at DreamWorks know this. After the news, the first reaction was pride. This big deal is absolutely top-notch. Even the Hollywood film industry couldn't do it. I didn't expect that my boss would have such courage. It really made them feel proud. I couldn't wait to tell them. I am an employee of DreamWorks.
The above are just the thoughts of those employees, but after the main staff of DreamWorks learned about this matter, they immediately frowned. Mai Chengxiong was too reckless in this matter. Because the production cost has exceeded their imagination, and they don't blame them. Hong Kong's annual box office last year was only over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. If converted into US dollars, it would be less than HK$2.0 billion. In this way, Mak Cheng-hsiung's The movie consumes almost one-third of Hong Kong's annual box office. What kind of figure is this?
Even DreamWorks' total Hong Kong box office last year was not as high as the production cost of this film. At this time, everyone was deeply worried about Mak Sing-hsiung's move. Many people felt that Mak Sing-hsiung's actions were child's play. They This boss is too immature. If they knew about "Titanic", they would probably all go to Mak Cheng-hsiung.
After Weng Meiling learned the news. Without even knocking on the door, she rushed straight into Mai Chengxiong's office and asked her to give her an explanation, and she was filled with anger.?I feel that Mak Cheng-hsiung is simply a money box with no bottom. He has finally accumulated the funds for DreamWorks, but Mak Cheng-hsiung is better off. It was just one movie, and it almost squandered all the money of DreamWorks, which of course also refers to the working capital.
Mai Chengxiong had no choice but to patiently explain to Weng Meiling. Weng Meiling did not let Mai Chengxiong waste his saliva. Instead, he said with great concern: "Axiong, actually you don't need to explain it to me, but I just heard this. After the news, I felt so anxious, but don't worry, no matter what, I will support you behind your back." .¡±
They say that behind every successful man there is a good wife.
What¡¯s up with Wu Yusen? At that time, I came to Mai Chengxiong's office. He also said to Mai Chengxiong sincerely: "Ah Xiong, this time I also feel that your approach is a bit too impulsive. Although our film market has expanded now, this film does not have a continental rating. Everyone. I can't confirm its quality, but the box office is mediocre. Most importantly, I can't even get back my investment, so what? I don't know if you have considered the result. If such a thing really happens, it will have a great impact on the morale of our company. Big harm, hey
Mak Chengxiong has never thought about these issues, but the reason why he dared to gamble this time is also the result of empiricism, because he is a time traveler. So he knew Peter's talent better, and the movie "Troy" was also a very good box office success. He thought about it for more than a day. He resolutely agreed to Peter's filming plan" because the hope of winning this bet was very high, but only he knew the reason and could not explain it to them.
Mai Chengxiong smiled and explained to Wu Yusen: "Old Wu. In fact, I think you can understand me about this matter. Of course I am not acting recklessly. In fact, the reason why I made such a big decision is that I have a backing. Look at DreamWorks and Digital Domain. They release a batch of excellent films every year. This is our strength, and the special effects technology of Digital Domain is even better than ours. The magic weapon for winning is this film. If there are no mistakes in the plot, this movie shouldn't be too bad. The situations you mentioned are also extremely smiley. What do you think?
In fact, Wu Yusen just reminded Mai Chengxiong. He didn't complain too much at first. After listening to Mai Chengxiong's words, he felt that Mai Chengxiong's words were very reasonable, because Mai Chengxiong believed in his people very much, which was a great big deal to everyone. The support can fully stimulate everyone's full potential, even if it were oneself. I will also hand over my best work.
Mai Chengxiong didn¡¯t take this matter to heart at all during this period. After all, he had already agreed. Even if the filming of this film was really unsatisfactory, Mai Chengxiong would tolerate it, so what? Sometimes I just don¡¯t think about it and sit down to finish other scripts.
"Isn't the script you are talking about a remake of Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn"?" When Xu Ke heard the script prepared by Mak Chengxiong for him, he immediately felt that this script was very familiar, and the beginning happened to be the same as Hu Jinquan's "Dragon Gate Inn". It's the same as the movie "Dragon Inn", Xu Ke couldn't help but ask.
Mak Chengxiong nodded. This new martial arts masterpiece shot by Xu Ke is a remake of the classic movie "Dragon Gate Inn". However, the situation has completely changed, and it has become another milestone in the martial arts film industry.
It is also a coincidence that the film "Dragon Inn" was shot in two versions. But they have become two milestones in martial arts films. When Hu Jinshuan was first filming, he paid more attention to the romantic elements in martial arts films. Therefore, martial arts films are no longer about fighting and killing, but have many more factors that interest everyone. It is because this film set a precedent for martial arts films and made martial arts films popular among movie fans. Many years later, Xu Ke remade this film again, adding other factors to the martial arts films. The biggest difference That's what this movie looks like in terms of form. It adopts a Western form, with an endless desert, a famous hotel, and a group of foreign guests coming. The narrative method is exactly the same as that of the Western film.
Mak Cheng-hsiung recalled all these details, and at the same time told Xu Ke what he thought the movie should be like. What does it look like? The smoke in the desert and the chivalrous love between sons and daughters are what Xu Ke likes the most. After listening to Mai Chengxiong's explanation, he even had a detailed shooting plan in his mind. He couldn't wait to leave Mak Cheng-hsiung's office and seemed to be preparing for the filming.
The script prepared by Wu Yusen was also brought out. Mak Chengxiong had just read it, but he didn't expect it to be "Across the World". This script is the most romantic script that Wu Yusen worked on during his stay in Hong Kong. Then he left to exhibit in Hong Kong. This is also one of his modifications, and he has begun to develop towards the international market. It seems that because of Mai Chengxiong, he made this change a few years ahead of schedule.
Mak Chengxiong put away the script and put it in his hands. At this time, he looked at Wu Yusen and said with a smile: "The overall script isIt looks very good, but there is a problem. Don't be nervous, it's not a bad thing. It's very exciting, but this script is very different from your style. If you hadn't brought it to me personally this time, Lao Wu, I wouldn't believe it was actually written by you.
After hearing Mai Chengxiong¡¯s praise. Wu Yusen also smiled again and again, and said modestly: "Haha, actually it's nothing. It's just that I'm a little old and can't keep up with the times. I wrote this script after thinking about it for a long time. It was based on your mistakes. There is no element of excellent script. With your words, I can rest assured that Wu Yusen is naturally very happy, because his attempt has been successful.
Mai Chengxiong was silent for a moment, and then he said tentatively: "Old Wu, do you have other ideas? Let's talk about it.
However, Wu Yusen was stunned by Mai Chengxiong's question. He didn't know what Mai Chengxiong was referring to.
What Mai Chengxiong wants to ask is Wu Yusen¡¯s future plans. Now there is a slight deviation from history, so Mak Cheng-hsiung didn't know if Wu Yusen still wanted to work in Hollywood, so he decided to ask.
Wu Yusen¡¯s expression was very surprised. Suddenly he burst out laughing and said: "You are indeed a genius. I didn't expect that I could see so much from just one of my scripts. I don't even know how to describe you. In fact, Ah Xiong, during this period of time, I I have thought about it many times. Zhou Run is expected to go to Hollywood soon. The two of us work together best, as you know. I really don¡¯t know what I will do after he leaves. Find another partner. It also takes a long time to adapt to each other. It is also a process of adaptation. I wondered if I should try it in Hollywood. I didn't expect you to see it.
Although Du Chengxiong made the direction of history a little biased, it still did not change the general direction. Xu Ke and Zhou Runyou wanted to show their evil outside, and Hollywood was their goal for generations.
After Mai Chengxiong finished talking with Wu Yusen, he found Zhou Run again, because he had just learned about it from Wu Yusen. Zhou Run already has some thoughts of leaving Hong Kong, so Mak Cheng-hsiung should talk to Zhou Run and understand his thoughts, even if he cares about his subordinates.
"Ah Xiong, you came just in time. I also have something to ask you. Let's take a look at this book." After Zhou Run saw Mai Chengxiong, he sent a script to Mai Chengxiong without letting him express his thoughts. In his hands, Mak Cheng-hsiung only read the beginning and already knew that the script was "Prison Storm", but he was still very surprised as to why this script was written by his brother. He smiled and asked: "The script is very good. By the way, brother, I haven't heard that you can write scripts. Why are you so interested in screenwriting now?"
Zhou Run hurriedly waved his hands in denial, and said self-deprecatingly: "The worst thing about me is the cultural class. I know how to write scripts there, so what? The script belongs to A Dong, but he never showed it to you after he wrote it. Come here first I feel very good asking what I mean, and you also know his character. I don¡¯t know when I will show it to you, so I took it out."
¡°I see, that makes sense. This script was originally written by Lin Lingdong.
"Why do you have other plans, brother?" () Mai Chengxiong asked doubtfully.
Zhou Run said with a smile: ¡°Since there is such a good script, of course we shouldn¡¯t hide it, we might as well film it earlier.
Mai Chengxiong nodded, but still said worriedly: "But if this happens, your schedule will be full. Have you considered that you won't have enough time to spend with your sister-in-law if you don't have a child? Zhou Run's schedule this year is very tight, Wu Yusen There is a movie "Across the World" to be shot, and Zhang Wanting has also found Brother, hoping that he can shoot a literary film "Autumn Fairy Tale", and New Art City and other companies are looking for Zhou Run to shoot the film. In this way , in the second half of the year, I will shoot five or more films.
What¡¯s up with Zhou Run? He suddenly became silent because his heart was very complicated. Because he had the idea of ??going to Hollywood, he felt a little sorry for Mak Cheng-hsiung. Very confused. At this time, he looked into Mai Chengxiong's eyes and said sincerely: "Ah Xiong, I have something to tell you. If it's convenient, can we go out and talk?"
Mai Chengxiong nodded, and the two of them left DreamWorks. I found a very quiet small restaurant. I ordered a lot of dishes and a bottle of wine, and then said to Mai Chengxiong: "Ah Xiong. In fact, this matter has been in my heart for a long time. I still remember Mi Did Gaomei ever give me an invitation?
"You have already figured it out," Mai Chengxiong said naturally.
Zhou Run blinked his eyes and felt that it was very difficult to nod to Mai Chengxiong now. He said with a wry smile: "Ah Xiong, I know you must have a lot of opinions about me. Yes, if I hadn't met you, I might It¡¯s still box office poison. I did this.??, is tantamount to ungratefulness¡±
Before he could continue, Mai Chengxiong stopped him and said with a smile: "Brother, you are wrong, you are completely wrong. It's not me who changed you, but you and Wu Yusen, it's the two of you. Today's success is achieved through hard work, not from me, Mak Sing-hsiung, and you have already given a lot to DreamWorks. Speaking of which, I owe you. You are now a top box office star in Hong Kong, but you have given a lot to DreamWorks. For factory shooting, when Chuan Chenwu learned that the digital field was preparing to shoot the sky-high price of "Te Di Yi", he was shocked. When reporters reported that the production cost was close to 100 million U.S. dollars, many people from big companies were shocked. Everyone opened their mouths. Looking at Hollywood, except for the six major companies, only the six major companies can make such a big deal. Other companies are beyond their reach, but everyone has ignored the digital field, which is an emerging film company in the past two years.

You are now a top box office star in Hong Kong, but you have given a lot to DreamWorks. If you shoot in a factory, you will still get your original salary, and I feel sorry for you. So brother, I only have one request now, and that is to leave next year. I will give you a big gift later.
Although Zhou Run often sheds tears on the screen, he is really a man in life. At this time, he couldn't help the excitement in his heart. Tears flashed in the corners of his eyes. Naturally, Mak Chengxiong didn't want to see his brother cry, so he picked up his wine glass and Brother started drinking.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Everyone drank too much, and when we returned to DreamWorks, we were all smelling of alcohol, but no one complained. They all knew Zhou Run's temper very well. To be able to make him drink like this, something must have happened. Wu Yusen had already expected that Mai Chengxiong had told him about going to Hollywood, so he didn't say anything. Instead, I gave them to them personally. Someone made a cup of strong tea.
Brother's eyes were still very red, bloodshot as if he hadn't slept well. Mai Chengxiong pointed at him with a smile and said, "Brother, it's not good to see how you look now. My sister-in-law will definitely feel bad if she sees her." , after you received the invitation, I was also very opposed to it, because at that time, you had only arrived to establish your own film career. It is different now. Even if you go to Hollywood, I will feel relieved, so I agree with you to go.
"Okay. Ah Xiong, don't say any more. Moreover, even in Hollywood, there is still a digital field. Maybe we will continue to cooperate in the future. Zhou Run's eyes turned red again and he said with a smile.
Although Mak Cheng-hsiung was drunk, his mind was very clear and his heart was sour. He had a very deep affection for his brother. The two met during the most difficult time of DreamWorks and later went to Beijing together. They can be regarded as brothers who share the same hardships. But there was no banquet that lasted forever, so he used work to release his depressed mood. In just one afternoon, he completed a script. It is a comedy script "The Variety Star King".
Not only that, Mai Chengxiong found some papyrus. After thinking for a long time, he finally wrote a string of words in English on the first page. When translated into Chinese, it was "Two Heroes Who Take the Face". "Brother, Lao Wu, you two are the great contributors to DreamWorks. This time is my gift to you.
