Hualiu Director

Chapter 300 Finalizing DC's Partner

There will be a reception after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Last year, Lin Hong didn't attend because he had to write out the script of "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" overnight.

But this year he couldn't refuse, because he has won several awards and is the focus of tonight. If he doesn't attend, he will not cooperate with the organizer's promotion.

Moreover, the luxury goods endorsed by Song Xiaohan are also sponsors tonight. She is obliged to help them stand on the platform, and of course Lin Hong will accompany them.

Of course, there are more important reasons for Lin Hong to attend the reception.

In addition to participating in the Golden Globe Awards last year, he came to the beautiful country, and he also wanted to buy a horse bone with a thousand dollars. One year later, today is the harvest season. He needs to appear at the reception and let more people come to his door for him to choose. Lin Hong I also have filmmakers I want to work with.

When Lin Hong appeared at the reception holding Song Xiaohan's hand, the official photographer of the organizing committee frantically pressed the shutter of his camera.

Apart from Paramount and Warner, among the eight major film companies, other film companies have also expressed their intention to cooperate with Lin Hong, and the terms they offer are very favorable.

The focus of the competition is the film and television shooting rights of "X-Men Universe", "Star Universe" and "DC Universe".

The Marvel Universe is now called the Star Universe because of Lin Hong’s Chinese adaptation, but the heroes in it include the Hulk, Thor, Deadpool, Black Panther, Venom and other heroes with Western faces.

Among them, Hulk and Thor already have independent comics, and Deadpool and Venom have also been mentioned in other comics. Sooner or later, they will have their own comics, which are definitely suitable for film and television adaptation.

Moreover, Lin Hong separated the characters of the X-Men series from the Star Universe, because the characters in the Avengers series and the X-Men characters in the original Marvel universe were very alienated, and even the pair of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver The plot that the siblings are the sons and daughters of Magneto is all mentioned in one stroke, and the other interactions are even less.

So after much consideration, Lin Hong decided to let the X-Men become their own universe. Although this universe is a bit small, a good film and television adaptation can definitely support a large film company.

The most important thing is that the heroes in the X-Men are the same as the superheroes in the "DC Universe", because Deadpool can't be Chinese at all, otherwise the project will be aborted if it passes the review.

As for the anti-social super criminal like the clown who hangs and beats superheroes and jc sorghum, it can't even happen.

Therefore, the heroes of the DC universe are all Western faces, which is what makes Hollywood filmmakers most satisfied.

At present, in the virtual universes all over the world, China's corner overtaking is at the forefront of the first step. They not only have "Star Universe", "DC Universe", "X-Men Universe", "Blood Sports Universe", "King of Fighters" Universe", "Prehistoric Universe", Lin Hong also developed a comedy film "Xihong City Universe".

These virtual universes are either owned by Lin Hong, or Lin Hong is the major shareholder, so it can be said that he alone can control the wind and rain in the future virtual universe market.

There are also quite a few virtual universes in Hollywood. Among them, Warner and the British writer Rowling jointly developed the "Hogwarts Wizarding Universe", which has made a lot of money over the years.

MGM owns the film and television adaptation rights of the "Middle-earth Universe", and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and the "Hobbit" series to be developed later gave them a taste of the sweetness of the big IP.

The best virtual universe in the hands of Disney is the "Star Wars Universe", which has brought them countless wealth and popularity, and they are still enjoying the dividends of this big IP for decades.

In addition to the "Star Wars Universe", Disney also has a big IP that has been abandoned in half, and that is the "Pirates of the Caribbean Universe".

Several other major film and television companies are also trying their best to develop big IPs. For example, Universal has cooperated with Chinese horror master Wen Ziren to develop a monster horror film universe, but the market size of this type is obviously not as good as other IPs.

On the other hand, 20th Century Fox repeatedly took out the already-ended "Terminator" to sell its feelings and stir up cold rice, but the result was that it caused dissatisfaction among diehard fans, and they all expressed that they would let the Terminator end itself.

Paramount is the luckiest one. As Tom Cruise is getting old and it is time to say goodbye to the small spy universe of "Mission: Impossible", they are the first to discover Lin Hong's raw material. Yu, and then the two sides jointly developed the "Transformers Universe".

This IP puts Paramount in a very favorable position in the big IP market competition, because whether it is Hogwarts or Middle-earth, or Star Wars and the Caribbean, these big IPs are already in the late stage of film and television development. And the "Transformers Universe" was just getting started.

It is also for this reason that Lin Hong has so many big IPs that have not yet been developed that they have become favored by major film companies. This is why he is willing to give Lin Hong 2 awards and 3 trophies at the Golden Globes. support.

"Mr. Lin Hong, we at Universal really sincerely cooperate with your company on the DC Universe project..."

The CEO of Universal Pictures, Jeff Hill, while explaining their production philosophy, made a big deal for Lin Hong.

Fortunately, Lin Hong is no longer a small role, and ordinary small favors really can't tempt him. Lin Hong doesn't like the promise of theater support for Lin Hong's other films in the North American market, because it is not the only one with theaters under his banner. They have Global Family, others have it, and others have more.

"Lin Hongjun, as an Asian filmmaker, I hope we can work together, I believe we can occupy a place in the world's largest film market dominated by whites..."

The CEO of Sony Columbia is Yuzo Matsui, a Japanese. Lin Hong slapped him when he heard the truth about his broken English. You are also an Asian filmmaker. You must first prove that you are a human being.

"Mr. Lin Hong, we Disney has the world's largest film and television industry line, and sufficient funds..."

Hehe, you Disney is indeed rich and powerful, but you are not very friendly to China, and your butt is rather crooked. I will cooperate with you with the resources in my hand, that's the wrong way.

"Mr. Lin Hong, hello, I am..."

Senior executives from one company to another came to clink glasses with Lin Hong, but Lin Hong didn't make any promises to anyone, because he had already made arrangements in his heart.

The cooperation with Paramount and Warner in the past year has been quite pleasant. Lin Hong feels that doing a job is worse than being familiar with it. Moreover, although the strength of these two companies is not the first, they are still at the upper-middle level of the eight major film companies.

So Lin Hong planned to give these two Western heroes from the "X-Men Universe" and "Star Universe", but he didn't think about giving them the most important "DC Universe".

Because Lin Hong knows that for the two giants, Paramount and Warner, "DC Universe" can only make them more profitable companies, but not a greater company.

The reason why Lin Hong is planning to release so many resources is nothing more than wanting to have the right to speak in Hollywood and the North American market, so this most important card "DC Universe" must exert its maximum value.

For example, to promote a fairly good film company to the same height as the eight major film companies.

And this fairly good company, Lin Hong, had asked Xiao Di to do a lot of market research before, and now they are waiting for them to take the bait.

Just thinking about it, the fish came.

"Congratulations, Best Director!"

A gentle man's voice came from behind Lin Hong. Lin Hong turned his head and saw that it was the legendary director Steven Spielberg coming over with a wine glass.

"Thank you, Mr. Spielberg. Compared with this trophy, I value the inclusiveness and openness of the Golden Globe Awards. This is the atmosphere that film art should have."

As soon as Spielberg heard what Lin Hong said, he knew he had found another bosom friend.

"Mr. Lin Hong, why don't we find a corner for a drink!"

Spielberg offers you a drink, and no fool would accept it.

"Oh, of course, it's my pleasure."

They walked to a corner together during the conversation, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially those powerful film companies. Amblin Films was also established.

Like Lin Hong, Spielberg is not a person who likes to eat alone. Whether it is Amblin or DreamWorks, he is also willing to have someone to invest in the film project when he knows that the film project will definitely make money.

As a top director himself, in addition to his own company's films, he also undertakes scripts and projects from other film companies, and Amblin's company will follow suit.

Everyone earns money. Spielberg's temperament makes him always popular in the Hollywood film circle. Everyone is willing to help his films, and the theaters will not embarrass him.

In addition, Spielberg is a Jew, which is definitely the best pass in Wall Street and Hollywood where Jewish capital gathers.

Moreover, he is also a director who graduated from Southern University. This kind of experience is the same as that of Lin Hong who graduated from Jingying. They all have circles.

In short, Spielberg is the most suitable candidate chosen by Lin Hong. He is capable and famous, and has countless network resources in his hands. He will not be squeezed out by giants like the eight major Hollywood studios, and Jewish capital stands behind him.

The most perfect thing is that he also has a well-developed Amblin Film Company in his hand. This company is developing well, but there is still a certain distance from the eight major film companies. If you want to catch up with them, you need the help of external forces.

Therefore, Amblin has absorbed capital from all over the world. For example, China’s Alibaba Pictures participated in Amblin’s investment and became one of their shareholders. Therefore, Amblin’s future films will have the giant Ali Pictures in the Chinese market. Help with everything.

But capital alone is not enough. Spielberg and Amblin also need high-quality, high-reputation and high-grossing movies to enrich their source library. This is the foundation of the rise of a film company.

Obviously relying on Spielberg alone is not enough. He needs a stronger partner. At this time, Lin Hong appeared in the beautiful country, and he also brought several suitable big IPs. If Spielberg is not tempted If he doesn't take the initiative to come to Lin Hong, then Lin Hong feels that he is not Spielberg.

"'DC Universe' is an extremely important asset for Hualiu. In my opinion, the only thing comparable to it is 'Star Universe'. These two big IPs will sweep the box office all over the world in the near future. This is foreseeable future."

Of course, Lin Hong, his own child, would praise him fiercely, and Spielberg did not object to Lin Hong's statement.
"I don't intend to hand over 'dc universe' to any film company. Just having money is not enough. The person who takes over must understand the heart of a superhero, must understand 'dc universe', and must understand movies!"

Everything Lin Hong said seems to be drawing lines to prevent some people from getting the "DC universe", but in fact he is using a few of these to circle Spielberg, almost saying that it must be you Spielberg, Come and negotiate terms with me!

"Yes, I understand you! This feeling and if I write a good script, the first thing I think is that idiots go away, this is my art, and those who work with me must understand film and art guy!"

Spielberg was also aroused by Lin Hong's words. For him, movies are not only a business, but also a noble art.

"So, Mr. Spielberg, do you have any good recommenders who can take over my 'dc universe'? Let me tell you, my energy in the next few years may be more focused on the filming of 'star universe' and In terms of promotion, I want to find an opponent for the superheroes of the 'Star Universe' who can echo each other, and the only ones who can compete with them are Superman and Batman."

Lin Hong directly asked Spielberg to recommend him. This is the general. Let's see if you dare not promote yourself.

"Mr. Lin Hong, what do you think of me?"

Sure enough, Spielberg couldn't bear it anymore when he heard that Lin Hong wanted to let go of the "DC Universe", but Lin Hong got goosebumps when he asked this question, what do you mean by how do you feel? Friends, will you fall in love with this unshaven old man?

"You? Oh, sorry, I'm not questioning your ability, but such a huge plan, are you sure you have so much energy?"

Lin Hong asked knowingly, but he didn't know if his bewildered expression could fool Spielberg. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he can or not, as long as the effect he wants is achieved.

"No, no, of course I'm not the only one. In fact, I also have a film company named Amblin. I hope to get the film and television adaptation of all superheroes and stories in the 'DC Universe' under the name of Amblin Films. filming rights, and then I will find the right person to take over a series of a certain hero, and I will serve as executive producer for each film.

And I will personally be in charge of the Batman series and the plot of the Justice League, you can always rely on my high requirements for the quality of the film. "

Spielberg has talked about this, and of course Lin Hong has to show some sincerity.

"Oh, of course, Mr. Spielberg's reputation in the industry is definitely the best. Since you and your Amblin Films are so sincere, then on behalf of Hualiu Films and Star Animation Company, I agree in principle to let you Take over the adaptation of 'dc universe' and the cooperation of film and television copyright.

Of course, whether the cooperation can be successful in the end depends on whether your company's negotiating team can convince the person in charge of the DC team in Shanghai. You know, their affection for DC is too deep, and even I need to listen to their opinions. "

The implication of Lin Hong's words is already obvious, cooperation is fine, go to Shanghai to talk, and you are ready to bleed!

"No problem, I will arrange a negotiating team to fly to Shanghai tomorrow to discuss cooperation. I believe it will be no problem. Cheers to the cooperation between our two companies!"

"cheers!"

Seeing Lin Hong and Spielberg toast with a smile after chatting for so long, countless people secretly watching this corner had mixed feelings.

In this way, the old and new generations of top talented directors seem to have a very happy chat. Are they ready to cooperate?

God, the real big time is coming!
