Chapter 1183: Terminator 2
"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" started filming almost at the same time as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
However, when Hemens Pictures went all out and put the first part of Little Magician in this year's Christmas schedule, ambitiously preparing to create a big IP series, Haggs Pictures moved a little slowly, setting the release date for next year's summer vacation, and it was still relatively backward.
But now the sudden increase in gear made Sun Peng a little surprised.
"According to them, it was the production schedule that exceeded expectations."
Regarding Sun Peng's doubts, the second sister explained: "So in order to let the little fans see the movie as soon as possible, and also for the sake of box office, it will be advanced by two months...... I think they're going to get hot! ”
"Rub the heat? What heat? ”
"Hehe, of course it's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone"!"
Regarding Sun Peng's puzzlement, the second sister said with a smile: "Think about it, Christmas is a little magician, and the New Year file two months later is a little wizard, if "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe" is released too late, it won't be able to rub ......"
"Haha, look at what you said."
Obviously, the early release of "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe" had no impact on Sun Peng.
In fact, on the contrary, because of the early release of this children's movie, it may bring him great benefits. For example, if the box office of the movie breaks out and Lao Bai has another wave of popularity, will "Hero" released in July be ......
"Huh? Huh?! ”
"What's wrong, Xiaopeng?"
"Uh......"
After a pause, Sun Peng blinked desperately and said, "Second sister, have you found out?" In addition to my "Hero", "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe" in the summer vacation next year, there will also be Lin Lin's "Tomb Raider" released! ”
"yes, what's the problem?"
"Goo-dong!"
After swallowing and smearing, Sun Peng's lips suddenly became a little dry.
What's the problem...... Is it?
It's a big problem this time, okay?!
The three box office hits of the year gave that summer vacation file the name of "Lao Bai's summer vacation file". And this time, if you only talk about the box office results, which one is not stronger than the previous three?
And don't forget, there's also a "The Silence of the Lambs" in March!
That is to say, from Christmas to next year's summer vacation, there will be little magicians, little wizards, "The Silence of the Lambs", "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", "Heroes" and "Tomb Raider" six movies will be released, if you add "Bourne's Identity 3" and "Die Hard", which are still in the cinema......
"I'll take it, is this going to finally become a god in the two professions of work adaptation and screenwriting?"
"What? Xiaopeng: What did you just say? ”
"Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing. ”
Shaking his head vigorously, Sun Peng grinned and said, "I just think it's quite interesting...... Haha, besides, I dare to say I'm lazy or something! There are eight movies to be released in a year, and what writer or screenwriter in the world can do that? It's just a role model in the industry......"
……
"Bang!"
After the club was swung down hard, the small golf ball immediately broke off the ground and flew towards the small hole in the distance that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
"Haha, good ball!"
Before the ball landed, Gao Runqing had already applauded loudly: "Mr. Fang's posture looks like a golf veteran!" Tsk, the action is standard, and the strength is also sufficient...... It seems that in this game, Mr. Zhou and I are afraid that we will be willing to bow to the wind again. ”
"Where, where."
Waving his hand, Fang Lanshen said modestly: "I just usually play more, compared to Mr. Zhou and Mr. Gao, you are always focused on your career, where do you have time to play?" Ha ha. ”
Regarding Fang Lanshen's modesty, Zhou An next to him had a different opinion, smiled and waved his hand: "Hehe, I actually play a lot, after all, everyone likes to talk about business on the court now!" But you can't see or touch talent and strength, but it's really there...... I can't practice at this stinky level, no matter how much I practice! ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, Mr. Zhou doesn't rely on football skills to talk about business, he relies on the well-known brand of Lotus."
"Tut, don't you dare to compare with your Forbidden City Pictures, I'm afraid that in the past few years, you have the most limelight among the film companies in Huaxia, and the box office results are also the best, right?"
"Where, where, our foundation is still very shallow, and it is not as deep as the lotus roots."
"Haha, Mr. Fang is so humble......"
……
Seeing the boss of Forbidden City Pictures and the boss of Lotus Pictures touting each other there, the more they chatted, the more enthusiastic they became, Gao Runqing stayed quietly beside him. It's just that while the bigwigs are bragging, he also consciously puts on a serious listening look, and at the same time keeps nodding or smiling thoughtfully, and his attitude can be said to be quite devoted.
No way, any one in front of him is a big man he has to tilt his neck to see!
Although the situation of Takagi Pictures has improved a little in the past two years, especially the release of "Terminator", Takagi has breathed a sigh of relief, but to put it bluntly, in the big vat of the film industry, they are still small fish that cannot be small, in front of giants like Lotus and Forbidden City Pictures, maybe people don't even bother to look at them.
Especially in the past few years, the two giants of Lotus and the Forbidden City have cooperated very closely, on the one hand, they jointly invested in Lao Bai's film scripts, and on the other hand, they exchanged information on overseas distribution affairs, and their performance was extremely outstanding. So now there is a rumor in the circle that the two giants of the Forbidden City and Lotus seem to be intending to merge and give birth to a real giant in the film industry!
Although the news is not known to be true or false, one thing is certain, that is, Benma and Nanhai have lagged behind in comparison.
So today's Gao Runqing is extremely nervous, because he knows very well that these two bigwigs called themselves over, and it is definitely not as simple as getting to know the "young talents" in the film industry, or finding someone to play golf with.
Needless to say, they came for "The Terminator".
And Gao Runqing also knows that what the two giants value is not "Terminator 1", but the legend that Lao Bai has already promised it, and the investment will be several times that of the first "Terminator 2...... The rumor of this second part was released by Gao Runqing himself.
Because he knew very well in his heart that the investment in the second part was too big, and it was not something that Takagi Pictures could swallow by himself. And even if he smashes the pot and sells iron to make up enough production costs for the film, the future distribution will not be solved at all - it may be okay in China, but if they want to distribute it overseas, they really don't have the ability.
So the Forbidden City and Lotus teamed up to come to the door, but Takagi didn't think about refusing at all, and of course he didn't dare to refuse.
The remaining question is just how much Takagi Pictures can occupy.
