Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 249 "The Calamity of the Python" Project

"Since you are going to discuss cooperation with China Film Group, you should prepare the project, right?

Would it be convenient for us to take a look first? "

He Guanchang did not tell Chen Qiming not to cooperate with China Film Group.

Regarding the cooperation with China Film Group, He Guanchang is very clear that he cannot stop it.

Since the mainland began to open up its market this year, a large number of film and television companies are seeking relations with China Film Group.

He didn't believe that Chen Qiming would give up China Film just because he cooperated with Golden Harvest.

Moreover, speaking of truth, Golden Harvest actually hoped that Chen Qiming could get China Film Group's investment.

For this reason, it is no problem for him to invest less.

As long as China Film has investment, it basically means that the film is expected to be released in the mainland.

To be honest, although the mainland market is still unclear.

But for a huge market with a population of 13 billion, even one percent, one thousandth, is still a very considerable income.

Therefore, He Guanchang didn't mention China Film at all, but wanted to read Chen Qiming's script first.

If the script is good enough, Golden Harvest will vote more, if not, it’s a big deal not to vote.

However, from Qiming Film and Television's "The Wind and Cloud Hegemony", He Guanchang still believes that the new movie prepared by Chen Qiming is above the quality.

At present, the play "The Wind and Cloud Hegemony" is still in post-production.

But during this period, there was a lot of news about this movie adapted from comics.

Although most of these messages are incomplete, those who have watched the unedited clips of the movie in advance have given good reviews without exception.

Even Liu Zhenwei personally said that the box office of this movie may explode.

Although only one movie cannot tell the production ability of Qiming Film and Television.

But more or less, people in the circle will be counted. At least, there are successful examples, which makes it easier for those who want to invest to have some confidence.

This was the case with He Guanchang at this time.

"There is a script! Just wait a moment!"

Chen Qiming stood up, found Li Xiaowen outside the office, and took the script from her that he was about to get to China Film.

Back in the office, he handed the script to He Guanchang.

"The calamity of the python?"

After receiving the script, He Guanchang saw the name on it at a glance, which made him a little surprised.

"Disaster movie?" He looked at Chen Qiming.

From the name, the catastrophe of the python really feels like a disaster movie.

"No, it's horror and adventure!" Chen Qiming replied.

Hearing this, He Guanchang stopped talking and began to read the script carefully.

While He Guanchang was watching, Chen Qiming sat there quietly. Although he was very sleepy, he cheered up and waited quietly.

He believes that the drama The Calamity of the Python will not disappoint He Guanchang.

Although the movie "The Calamity of the Python" is defined as a thriller, it is different from the common horror movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Although this film is also thrilling, its elements are mainly in terms of excitement and adventure.

Use human's fear of pythons and the sudden attack of pythons to stimulate the audience's adrenalin.

In fact, he is very similar to Lin Zhengying's zombie movies.

Zombies correspond to pythons, and they are both things that human beings fear.

Use this fear to elevate the mood of the plot, and then defeat it to achieve a sense of coolness.

However, compared to the Taoist priests with spells in the zombie movies, the humans in the plague of pythons are relatively weaker.

They are weaker and weaker when facing the python.

It is precisely this kind of weakness and powerlessness that makes the thrilling sense of adventure even better.

There is also infighting from peers.

Various factors make the quality of this script seem to be excellent.

He Guanchang was very knowledgeable, so he couldn't help but put down the script while nodding his head before he finished reading the script.

"How do you plan? How much to invest? Who do you plan to hire for the cast?"

"The specifics of investment are still unclear, and we need to do precise calculations to know.

As for the cast, I don't plan to invite Hong Kong and Taiwan movie stars. If possible, I plan to invite a few Hollywood movie stars to join. "

Chen Qiming stated his plan.

Since "The Calamity of Python" is going to cooperate with Time Warner, it must be released in Europe and America.

No matter how good the script is, it is extremely difficult for a film with all Asian faces to be released in Europe and the United States due to cultural influences.

Chen Qiming does not see himself as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan who is about to break into Hollywood.

I don't have real kung fu.

Therefore, if one's own film wants to be successful, it has to incorporate European and American culture so that European and American audiences can accept it.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to include foreigners in the film.

Even, to a certain extent, except for Chen Qiming and another character, he intends to use foreigners for other roles in this play.

Well, this plague of pythons is not the first plague of pythons in the dream.

He chose the second one.

It's the one looking for the blood orchid.

In fact, the first one is not impossible.

But mainly Chen Qiming intends to play the leading role in it.

While the first "The Calamity of the Python" was a group play, the second one made a clear distinction between male and female protagonists.

Since it was his own movie, Chen Qiming naturally wanted to be the protagonist.

He is a dignified international singer, if he plays a role that doesn't have many roles and is not brilliant, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Therefore, after consideration, Chen Qiming chose to shoot the second part first.

Anyway, the plots of this series are not connected together, and the protagonist groups are also different.

After the filming of this one, if the box office is good, he can make the first one again.

Whether he wants to act or not depends on his mood.

"Help Hollywood actors? This is indeed feasible, but in this way, the investment budget may become higher."

After listening to Chen Qiming's words, He Guanchang couldn't help pondering.

After a while, he said: "We, Golden Harvest, invested 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, and we will discuss the proportion after the specific investment ratio is determined. What do you think?"

"Yes! Don't worry! Your investment will not be in vain!"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help standing up and shaking hands with He Guanchang.

He went to meet with people from China Film Group on this trip, one reason is to let "The Wind and Cloud Heroes of the World" be released in the mainland.

The second is to pull relationships, and then pull China Film into the project of the disaster of the python.

Originally, he was not very confident about whether China Film would invest.

Now Golden Harvest's investment made him feel more confident.

In recent years, Golden Harvest's reputation in Asia is still very large.

Last year, when the mainland opened up its market and planned to introduce ten films a year, Golden Harvest was the first choice.

I plan to cooperate with Golden Harvest.

Until the news spread to Europe and the United States, it was picked up by a Hollywood company.

This led to the failure of the cooperation, and the first imported film was determined to be "Desperate World".

It can be said that Jiahe's current reputation is still very good.

At the very least, if China Film Group sees that Golden Harvest has invested, even if they don't have confidence in the film, they may invest a little more.

And what Chen Qiming needs is for him to cast a little bit.

Even if China Film Group only invested one yuan, this film can still be backed by the background of China Film Investment, and the difficulty of releasing it in the mainland will be greatly reduced.
