Chapter eight hundred and sixty seventh listing continued three

Transformers Chu Fei is the heroine. How could Guo Tailai not take care of her when it was released? On this point, Director Steven is a very qualified businessman, who has taken advantage of the conditions to the extreme. Before the filming starts, we will contact our relationship to seek support.

However, Guo Tailai must have a casual word for 3D. If Steven is moved, then the amc theater that is improving the 3Dimax screening hall in the future will have greater advantages.

"3d?" Steven obviously considered this issue very deeply. When he heard Guo Tai say it, he laughed directly: "g, I understand your mood, but now the production budget of Transformers is already 1.5 billion US dollars. If it is changed to 3d screen, it may be at least 50 million US dollars. The production cost of 200 million US dollars is too expensive!"

"Two million US dollars are still expensive?" Guo Tailai looked at Director Steven in confusion and couldn't help asking: "But you didn't hesitate at all when you invest in James' movie. You can just invest in 50 million. Why is it your own movie? You dare not invest?"

"g, we are different from you." Director Steven looked at Guo Tailai and smiled bitterly: "We all know that you buy movie companies, Marvel, and even Amc theaters, one for Phoenix, and the other for your comic idol. You don't regard movies as your career."

Guo Tailai admitted that he did not regard movies as a career: "You are right. I do regard movies as a tool to play with friends, and help my girls develop better by the way. I really didn't regard it as a career that requires one's own struggle."

"This is the difference between you and me." Steven said with a smile: "You treat it as a tool and an interest, so even if the investment fails, it doesn't matter to you. And so far, you are doing well. You know that Phoenix's acting skills are not so good, so he chose some commercial films and outstanding roles. Even as a professional director, I cannot help but admit that the roles you selected for your girl are really suitable, including Transformers who are about to start filming."

Listening to the great director Steven's praise for his vision, Guo Tailai was a little ashamed.

"Not only are you good at choosing the role, but you invest in the subject matter." Steven continued: "You are not pursuing anything to make a big difference with small numbers, nor are you pursuing any awards. You only invest in commercial films. In addition, that guy James is good at investing in commercial films, so he is very successful."

"You are too rewarding!" Guo Tailai was also embarrassed and felt a little humble.

"But I'm different." Steven smiled bitterly: "I treat film as my lifelong career. Although I am also the boss of a film company, I think I am a director most of the time. In our industry, there is actually a famous rule that you may not know yet."

"What rules?" Guo Tailai asked curiously.

"Don't use your own money to make your own movies." Steven smiled and said, "Even if you think your movie is very sure, you know that there are many illusions in life, one of which is..."

"The movie I made will definitely be a big hit?" Guo Tailai took the conversation casually, and then burst into laughter.

"That's right!" Steven laughed as he heard this. Although he didn't say anything more, Steven had already successfully explained why DreamWorks was unwilling to invest more, even if he felt it was hopeful.

"I'm very curious, Steven." Guo Tailai asked: "When you invested in James's video, the production cost was 300 million yuan, and the promotion cost was close to this value. You didn't seem to be shocked!"

"It's normal," Steven smiled. "If you know how much Warner Bros. invested in "Return of Superman," you'd also feel normal."

Guo Tailai widened his eyes curiously. Could it be that "Superman Return" has invested a lot? It seems that this movie has failed? Well, Warner Brothers' video has failed, Guo Tailai is very happy.

"The investment budget is 270 million US dollars, can you imagine?" Steven did not let Guo Tailai wait and announced the answer directly: "From the screenwriter to the director to the starring actor, it took two rounds, and before the filming started, it was spent 50 million, and it has not started filming yet, you can imagine how messy it is. If you don't rely on owing some distribution fees, this film may not be able to support it. In contrast, although that guy James is big, he has never wasted outside the film."

A super big production! No wonder, it seems that the reason for the owed "The Walk of God" is not only the reason I knew before, but also this reason. The unlucky child will ask Anne to urge the box office share to collect the money tomorrow, and appeal as soon as the time comes.

The two talked about other topics, and basically Steven was literate for Guo Tai and told him some internal news about Hollywood. It was not obvious that Steven was still quite gossipy sometimes.

"g, we, I mean DreamWorks and Amc Cinemas, can we reach a long-term cooperation agreement?" When we talked about the rise, Steven finally talked about the purpose of the real visit.

"What kind of cooperation do you mean?" Guo Tailai asked.

After some explanation, Guo Tailai finally understood what Steven meant. DreamWorks actually had weak distribution channels, almost none, and often had to be controlled by others. This also greatly restricted the development of DreamWorks. In the end, he was acquired by Paramount and later cooperated with Disney. The seven major Hollywood teams did not want to see a powerful DreamWorks integrating production and distribution behaviors appear, and all parties suppressed it. DreamWorks did not have its own distribution channels, and they were bitter and bitter. Now Guo Tailai has purchased the Amc theaters, which has given Steven a glimmer of hope to break the deadlock.

"Amc and DreamWorks can cooperate." Guo Tailai doesn't care about this. The overall quality of DreamWorks' videos is still good. Whose money is not profitable? But he is still very self-aware: "But, you know, Steven, amc can only allow you to schedule films normally or advantageously within the amc theater range, but other aspects, such as marketing promotion in various countries and surrounding sales, actually won't help you too much."

"This has helped us a lot." Steven was very happy after receiving Guo Tailai's personal promise: "We can also take the opportunity to cultivate our own distribution channels, at least we don't have to be completely extorted."

Being able to reach cooperation has achieved Steven's greatest goal today.

"The Transformers are about to start filming. Phoenix is ​​on the crew. You have to help take care of it." Guo Tailai remembered something: "Don't let her be bullied. I heard that the director you chose Blast Beck is not a good fuel-saving lamp. I warn him not to hit Phoenix!"

"Don't worry, I promise!" How could Steven tolerate the idea of ​​someone in the crew beating Phoenix, and he wished he could raise his hand to swear.
Chapter completed!
