Hello 1983

  Chapter 872 Which one shall we shoot first? (seeking a monthly ticket)

  The reporters immediately went into an uproar, and some thought that Liu Qingshan was uttering wild words.

  The other part was overwhelmed by Liu Qingshan's strong self-confidence.

  But no matter what they think in their hearts, the reporters are very excited: because such news will definitely cause waves after it is spread.

   Maybe some oil tycoon will jump out to fight against Liu Qingshan, seeing that Liu Qingshan is not pleasing to the eye.

   You know, there are many oil tycoons in the United States. It is estimated that those big families and companies will not see people running to their territory to be arrogant.

  When the gods fight, the media will naturally follow suit.

   In this way, under Liu Qingshan's intentional or unconscious guidance, the reporters were collectively led astray, and each of them went back to edit the news happily.

  Liu Qingshan entered Hurricane Video and Video, and was warmly welcomed by the staff.

  Each film is successful, and the employees will also have bonuses.

   Today's Hurricane Video and Video is no longer just two or three big cats and kittens. Now it has more than 200 employees, which can be regarded as a medium-sized film and television company.

  However, Liu Qingshan knows that there is still a lack of a few great directors.

  Nowadays, when Hurricane Company makes films, it always finds the director to negotiate temporarily, and then signs a cooperation agreement.

  The top film and television companies in Hollywood all have their own directors, such as Universal's Director Si.

  In the conference room of the company, the heads of various departments are gathered together.

   Chambers first introduced the success of the hacker with a happy face, and won warm applause from the employees.

   But the more important thing about this meeting is to deploy the company's next movie and try to release it in the Christmas schedule.

   Hurricane now has some confidence, and dares to compete with those big companies for Christmas stalls.

  The director of the marketing department was the first to speak: "I think we should plan to shoot the third part of Home Alone. This theme is most suitable for Christmas holidays, and the whole family can watch comedy movies together."

  Many people also nodded, this is indeed a good choice.

   Chambers frowned slightly: "If there is one movie a year, will the audience experience visual fatigue?"

  Although the IP of Home Alone is sure to make money, you can't catch a toad to piss.

  Maybe after two or three years, the audience's sense of expectation will be stronger.

  Hollywood has always been like this: a good theme, over and over again, prequel and sequel, and so on, never give up until the film is bad.

  This is why a big IP is so valuable.

  Just like the current Hurricane Video, if the assets are worth 10 million, then if the company is sold, it will be worth at least a few hundred million.

  Because what they bought was not the rags like assets, but the copyrights of films such as Home Alone and The Matrix.

  With the copyright, you can continue to shoot.

   Chambers' worries are obviously not unreasonable. Facts have proved that if the density of a theme is too high, the box office will seriously decline.

   "Then continue to take advantage of the popularity of hackers and shoot the second part." Someone suggested.

   This is a good choice, but the production cycle of the hacker is relatively long, at least nearly a year, and we can only wait for the next summer vacation.

  Chambers recorded this and started preparations recently. Basically, the original cast is almost the same, so the company still has spare capacity to make another movie.

  When it comes to new movies, no one has any opinions, because everyone knows that it is too difficult to come up with a good movie.

  Hollywood has the most movies, not those excellent movies, but street goods, which can account for more than 80%.

  And if a film goes wrong, the company will suffer a lot if it fails.

  In the end, everyone's eyes focused on Liu Qingshan. If we want to talk about creativity and control of the general direction, it depends on the boss.

  Although the boss can’t come to the company twice a year, the boss is the biggest contributor behind the scenes for Hurricane Company’s achievements.

  Liu Qingshan looked around for a week, and then said: "We should try some new themes and types to further expand the influence of the hurricane."

   "Our plan is to become a first-tier film and television company within ten years. In order to achieve this goal, we must continue to innovate, and we must not rest on the glory of the past."

  Employees couldn't help but wake up in their hearts: It seems that there are successes one after another, and everyone is really a little flustered.

  Liu Qingshan is very satisfied with the performance of everyone. He just wanted to sound the alarm for everyone, so he pulled back the words: "Of course, having confidence is a good thing, but it is more important to be down-to-earth to create."

   "Yes, boss!" Someone took the lead in shouting, and then there was a burst of answering voices.

  Liu Qingshan pressed his hands down, then raised a finger, and turned his gaze to Xiao Li, another shareholder of the company:

   "Now the first choice is Lee's Pirates of the Caribbean."

  Xiao Li immediately looked embarrassed. Pirates of the Caribbean has published two books, and one is selling better than the other. Of course he has the capital.

  Liu Qingshan raised **** again: "The second choice is the Twilight Saga that Victor and I worked together to tell the story of vampires."

  The Twilight series is also a big hit in North America, so of course the film practitioners present knew it, and they couldn't help but get excited.

  Liu Qingshan raised his third finger again: "The third choice is the Harry Potter series that I collaborated with Zheng."

   There were low exclamations in the conference room, and no one could have imagined that the boss had such a big appetite.

   And every plan is definitely a hot topic in the past two years.

  The copyrights of such works are usually taken away by those big companies, and they are richer without him.

  But these three are different, the boss is all involved in the creation, of course the copyright will not be sold to others.

  It's exciting to think about it. It turns out that Hurricane still has such a large capital.

  The more people think about it, the more excited they become: These resources are the capital for their hurricane to sweep Hollywood.

   "Boss, just tell me, which one shall we make first?" Even a middle-aged man like Chambers felt his blood boil.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "This kind of magical plot must be a big production. With our Hurricane's current capabilities, it is still a little bit reluctant."

  After everyone heard this, the excitement gradually calmed down: Yes, such a big production requires at least 50 million investment, and the shooting is extremely difficult.

  The boss said it was a little bit reluctant, which sounds good. To put it bluntly, the current hurricane really doesn't have such a great ability.

  The result of a small horse-drawn cart may overturn.

   "I say this to show everyone that we, Hurricane, have an extremely bright future."

  Of course Liu Qingshan did not come to attack his subordinates, but to draw a grand blueprint for everyone.

  The thoughts of the employees have also become transparent, and each of them has made up their minds: take Hurricane Company seriously!

  Among them, most of them are newly joined in the past two years, and their hearts are not stable. With Liu Qingshan's reassurance, they are completely stable.

   "Boss, what exactly are we going to shoot?" Xiao Li also changed the name of Liu Qingshan on this occasion, which showed a kind of respect.

Liu Qingshan finally stopped playing around in circles: "Our Hurricane, now lacks a work that can stand, it's not a comedy, it's not a fight, but a drama, a classic that can win the Oscar for best picture. "

  After he finished speaking, the people around couldn't help but look at each other: This seems to be a bit difficult.

  Classics are not so easy to produce. Hollywood produces so many movies every year, but it may not be able to produce one classic every year.

  However, the greater the difficulty and the more challenging, it proves that the boss has greater ambitions, and really wants to make the hurricane take off.

   Instead of waiting for the hurricane to fatten up and then selling it.

  In the United States, speculators like this are not uncommon.

  Seeing that everyone became confident after the initial surprise, Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded:

  “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like.”

   Everyone didn't understand why, and thought the boss was talking about movies, so they kept smiling.

  Liu Qingshan smacked his lips with regret. This famous saying has not yet spread along with that famous movie.

  So he continued: "Some time ago, I read a book by Mr. Winston Groom called Forrest Gump, and I think this is the work we need in Hurricane."

   Liu Qingshan beckoned, and Lu Liang came in with a stack of books, which were published in 1986 and distributed to everyone.

  This book is really unfamiliar to everyone. After reading the introduction, it is very inspirational. Well, it is indeed the type that Oscar likes the most.

  The biggest difference between the original book and the movie is that Gan in the original book suffers from savant syndrome, and is what people often call an idiot genius.

  But the movie version deleted this part, making Forrest Gump more "normal."

  But such a person has become the representative of the American dream.

  After getting a general understanding of the book, everyone started a heated discussion.

  It is undoubtedly very difficult to shoot this kind of subject matter. Fighting and killing or science fiction and magic can at least attract some audiences.

  If this kind of feature film is not well shot, the audience will definitely not buy it.

  The most important thing is that this is the first time Hurricane has tried this kind of theme, and the risk will undoubtedly be greater.

  Xiao Li is full of confidence. Essentially, he prefers this kind of literary film because the style is high enough.

  Chambers also agreed. Since Liu Qingshan proposed it, he has no reason to object.

   So the project was passed quickly, and the whole company started to work:

  Contact the writer and buy the copyright. This is the first step, and it is also a crucial step.

   Then there is the search for a director. If this kind of film does not have a good director, it is destined to hit the street.

  Liu Qingshan's proposal was to hire Robert Zemeckis, because he was the original director of Forrest Gump, a film produced by Paramount.

  Then there is the screenwriter and so on. Liu Qingshan has also been nominated, and with the staff of Hurricane Film and Television, the prototype of the crew can be built.

   Of course, the most important thing is the leading actor.

  Liu Qingshan felt that this role must belong to Tom Hanks. The Forrest Gump he plays has both form and spirit, and he deserves the Oscar winner.

  Everyone performed their duties and started to get busy. Only Liu Qingshan and Xiao Li became idlers.

  Liu Qingshan is only responsible for the general direction, while Xiao Li is purely because he is idle.

  It was unnecessary for them to stay here, so they simply left Hurricane Video Company.

  Xiao Li proposed to have fun, but Liu Qingshan directly refused and went back to the villa. He is not a **** like Xiao Li.

  The next morning after the morning exercise, the family was having breakfast in the restaurant. Liu Yinfeng was reading the newspaper while eating, and suddenly said hello:

   "Sanfeng, are you betting with someone else?"

  The assassination he encountered last time was due to the fact that it was related to the Mitsui consortium's commercial gambling, so Liu Yinfeng really didn't want her younger brother to get involved in this kind of thing.

  Liu Qingshan took a bite of the big meat bun: "There's no other way. The oil well drilling in Lilan cost tens of millions of dollars, and Longteng Company can't afford it. It's best to find someone to reimburse it."

  Wu Tong was watching with Liu Yinfeng, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised: "Sanfeng, now you have stabbed a hornet's nest."

   After finishing speaking, he handed over the newspaper, Liu Qingshan took a look, good guy, the battle is really not small.

  Even the people in the Rockefeller family jumped out and declared in the newspaper that they would teach this young man who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth a lesson.

   It was the fourth generation of the family who spoke, a young man named Looney Rockefeller.

   I don’t know if this guy is young and vigorous, self-assertive, or he has the family’s instigation behind him.

   In addition, another oil tycoon, Tony Getty, a grandson of Paul Getty, also jumped out to accuse Liu Qingshan.

  Because the company they belonged to carried out oil exploration in the waters off Liland last time, of course they couldn't bear it.

  This Mr. Paul is definitely a legend, once the richest man in the world.

   Started by relying on oil, especially in the Middle East, where there are many large oil fields.

  Liland is not far from the Middle East and belongs to the same plate. Naturally, exploration has also been carried out, but no valuable large oil fields have been found, so it is abandoned.

   In addition to being the richest man in the world, this Mr. Paul is also a famous miser, known as "the most miserly rich man".

  How stingy is this guy? One of his grandsons was kidnapped, and he was reluctant to pay the ransom.

  Finally, the gangster cut off one of his grandson's ears. Paul panicked and agreed to pay.

  However, I still disliked that the other party’s asking price was too high, so after a lot of haggling, I finally raised the ransom from 14 million to 2.2 million, and then redeemed my grandson.

  Liu Qingshan doesn't know whether this early grandson Tony is the one whose ear was cut off.

  It is unlikely. It is estimated that that person has long left a psychological shadow, and whether he can live a normal life is a matter of debate.

  Furthermore, according to Liu Qingshan's analysis, Mr. Paul has passed away long ago and is the second generation of the family at the helm.

   It is probably to get revenge on the stingy ancestors in the past, so these descendants are more lavish than each other, otherwise, they would not jump out to bet with Liu Qingshan.

  Welcome, this kind of thing, of course, the more the better, Liu Qingshan can't wait for more people to give him money.

   I am really happy in my heart: Now, the cost of exploration must be settled.
