Chapter 167: Boss Tang's Ambition

Chapter 167 Boss Tang's Ambition

Even if Sophie Marceau served Dunn very comfortably, he couldn't make a joke about a $100 million investment.

In fact, in addition to the relationship between the courtesy, the more important thing is the recommendation from Luc Besson and the deliberation of the production department.

Luc Besson is French and an ambitious director, known as the "Steven Spielberg" of France. Having the first opportunity to shoot a $100 million A-level production, Luc Besson naturally wanted more autonomy.

Dunn confirmed that the actor was Mel Gibson, and the Australian superstar was also willing to cooperate with Dunn Films.

Luc Besson's hope naturally fell to the heroine in order to make a movie according to his own ideas. His compatriot, and the hot Sophie Marceau who recently played with Dunn, is the first choice.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is an action movie, and Mel Gibson is an action star, so it's fitting. As for Sophie Marceau, she has also made war films and action films in the past. It only takes a period of time for gun training to complete the angle cesium positioning very well.

More importantly, there are obvious loopholes in Dunn's story blueprint.

The Smiths lived together for so many years and worked for two different killer organizations in the United States, and they didn't know each other? Even if they don't know, the organization behind them doesn't know?

So Luc Besson made a spatial adaptation of the script. Mr. Smith is American and is under the care of the American Killer Organization, and Mrs. Smith is French and under the care of the French Killer Organization.

Later, there was a major conflict between the two major killer organizations in the two countries, which led to the Smiths.

For such a change, both the screenwriter and production departments of Dunn Films agree.

More importantly, such a change leaves enough room for a sequel!

Moreover, the production department suggested that the film could go to France for a large number of scenes. Like Germany and the United Kingdom, France also has a tax rebate policy for movies, but it is more stringent, requiring filming, production and hiring of a large number of French actors in France.

If the heroine is Sophie Marceau, rewriting the script according to Luc Besson's advice, at least you can get a tax rebate of 10 million US dollars from France.

Luc Besson, together with the marketing department, screenwriter department, and production department of Dunn Films, rejected Dunn's story blueprint, which is equivalent to challenging his authority.

But Dunn is very happy!

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is very famous, but after all, it is a commercial film with insufficient logic. He worked hard to create a unique review mode for Dunn Pictures, which was finally reflected in this film.

His past efforts were not in vain!

Therefore, for the film "Mrs. Smith", Dunn maximized his authority. At the company's internal meeting, he firmly said: "Maintain the tone of the film, romance, humor, action, apricot, and sharp performances. Enough visual effects! On this point, the screenwriting department and the production department should take care s Choice."

Tang En threw the thick stack of fax documents on the desk, closed his tired eyes, stretched his waist, and helplessly let out a sigh of relief.

This is a fax sent by Scott Swift, and it is the financing application that Dunn Capital has received in the past half month.

Tang En watched for two hours, his eyes were full, but he didn't see even a company he was "familiar with".

"There are tens of thousands of high-tech companies, how can it be so easy to find leaks?"

Dunn shook his head bitterly, hope was dashed.

Ella Fisher came over and poured him a cup of coffee. "Tired?"

"Hey!" Tang En let out a long sigh.

Ella Fisher asked: "Then the next job, let me cancel it for you."

"what?"

"The opening ceremony of "The Chainsaw"."

In her opinion, this horror film with an investment of only 1.5 million US dollars is not worthy of the big boss Tang En appearing in person.

Tang En sat up straight, "Today?"

"Yeah, noon today."

"Get ready, let's go!"

"Isn't it necessary? Mr. McNick didn't even go."

Ella Fisher's meaning is obvious, even Bill McNick is busy with work and does not appear, you will come out in person, will it drop the price? Even if you are the screenwriter and producer of "Chainsaw", this is just a B-level film.

Dunn stood up and patted her shoulder with a smile, "You didn't see the potential of "The Saw". Of course, compared to this movie, I prefer the director of the movie."

"Zach Snyder?"

Ella Fisher's eyes flashed a little bit of doubt, an MV director, deserves such attention?

The entire project of "Chainsaw" took less than 2 months from writing the script, to project approval to the start of filming.

For Dunn's arrival, Zach Snyder was flattered, and hurriedly took a few steps ahead and shook hands with him, "Mr. Walker, you actually came here in person."

"I'm a producer, so I'm definitely coming." Dunn smiled at him, and shook hands with Glenn Morgan, the president of Furious Pictures, "Is everything going well?"

Glenn Morgan said cautiously: "Fortunately, we have a comprehensive plan now. If nothing else, the film will definitely be finished within 3 weeks."

"3 weeks?" Dunn's eyes lit up and looked at Zach Snyder, "Can it be done?"

"can!"

Zach Snyder's sworn guarantee.

Tang En said with a smile: "Well, if it goes well, the movie will be released around Halloween this year! It will definitely scare the entire United States by then!"

Glenn Morgan complimented: "Zach has watched hundreds of horror movies recently, and he has worked very hard. With your own screenwriter, I am also looking forward to this movie."

"Have you watched hundreds of horror movies?" Dunn's face was straight, he looked at Zack Snyder, and said solemnly, "Zach, don't be limited by those B-grade movies in the 1970s and 1980s to limit your style and imagination. , believe in yourself, and believe in my vision, you are no worse than any horror film master!"

Zach Snyder's mother is a painter, and he has been learning oil painting from his mother since he was a child, so his aesthetics of film images also follow the concept of oil painting, which is full of richness and texture.

Such a strong visual style is the favorite in the DVD and video tape market!

In previous lives, Zach Snyder and Christopher Nolan were two of Warner's commercial film gods. Zack Snyder can't compare to Nolan at the box office, but what about movie revenue? Comparable!

It depends on the income from peripheral sales. No matter how good the reputation of "Inception" and "Interstellar" are, in the Blu-ray and cable TV markets, Zach Snyder's works are more popular.

Even after Nolan relied on the "Dark Knight" trilogy, there are still a large number of fans who believe that Zack Snyder is the best director of comics.

Because of his visual style, it is closer to the comics.

Dunn didn't want Zack Snyder to be influenced by other films and changed his personal style.

Horror movies are the favorites of the DVD/video market and professional limited TV stations, and the rich textured shots are also highly sought after in the DVD and video tape markets.

What kind of amazing explosive power will the combination of the two create?

The DVD and video sales of "Chainsaw" are probably not much worse than Dunn's "Spider-Man"!

Zach Schneider opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Tang En sighed and said earnestly, "Zach, be confident. Have you forgotten what I told you? I have a plan for your career, and I'm not afraid to tell you that after "Chainsaw", the next movie is "Biochemistry" "Crisis", and then make a horror film with a relatively large investment, I will push you into the mainstream film market, and then you will be greeted by A-level big productions!"

Zach Snyder took a deep breath, his voice trembling, "Dawn, I'm sure I can make this movie well."

"Remember, go with your own style! You're like your ads in the past, and I love that shot with the color and texture."

"I see!"

Zach Snyder felt a warm feeling in his heart. Looking at the boss who was younger than himself, listening to his words of encouragement, he felt that his whole body was baptized by the spring, warm and comfortable.

It feels so good to be trusted!

Furious Pictures president Glenn Morgan is a little envious of Zach Snyder's opportunity.

There are too many excellent talents in Hollywood, but there are only those opportunities. In addition to strength, luck is more important.

In addition to those geniuses, looking at Hollywood, cesium can become a coordinator and a film can become a director. This is the most real situation.

There is no doubt that Zach Snyder has met his bole~www.wuxiaspot.com~ By the way, Glenn, is the distribution department of Furious Pictures formed? " Dunn suddenly changed the subject.

Dunn and Universal have signed an agreement, and all the films produced by Dunn are handed over to Universal for distribution, but the low-cost horror films are the responsibility of Fury Studios themselves.

And the distribution of low-budget horror films is very different from the big productions, and it's impossible to release them in thousands of theaters as soon as they come out, usually in special horror film theaters.

If the box office is good, the number of theaters will gradually increase; if the box office is poor, it will directly become cannon fodder and disappear into the vast sea.

This kind of issuance method has low risk, low cost, and simple issuance. It does not require a huge issuance department, and often small independent companies can cope with this mode.

Because once the box office of the movie is good, and they don't need to contact the theater chain, they will take the initiative to come to the door and ask for a copy to be released.

Glenn Morgan scratched his head, "There is no distribution department, there are so many people in total, I am directly in charge. Two are responsible for contacting the studio to copy the film, and three are responsible for running errands to get in touch with the horror theater chain. , it's not that complicated."

Tang En took a deep breath, "Let's be more formal, the scale of Furious Pictures will definitely expand in the future. The independent distribution department of Kudu can also accumulate some experience. If the company releases some low-cost literary films or science fiction films in the future , and maybe someone from Furious Pictures' distribution department."

Glenn Morgan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Okay!"

Everyone in the company knew that the young boss was ambitious.

Now it looks like it's true.

This guy is not finished with commercial blockbusters, and even the small-budget movie market does not want to let it go.
