Chapter 682 New Work, New Director

When Fang Mingyuan and his group stepped into the Irish drama restaurant proposed by Jackson, they fell in love with it.There are not many people here. Although it seems that a musical is being staged, the atmosphere in the restaurant is very warm.The four found a booth inside and sat down.

"You can try the Swan brand beer here, which can be said to be the most popular beer in Perth." Jackson waved to the waiter and said.

"Fang, I don't know if there are any good scripts or ideas recently?" Seinov smiled, but he was a little uneasy.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, and just when Seinov felt that there was nothing to do, he said: "I personally don't have any new ideas. After all, I have been so busy for more than half a year that I have to hit the back of my head with my feet. But I can give you Recommend someone, he has a good idea, I also know it by accident. But you and Jackson must promise, don't say I said it!"

"Huh?" Seinov and Jackson were immediately interested, and immediately looked at Fang Mingyuan with a bit of longing.If you can't get Fang Mingyuan's own script, it's not bad to get a work recommended by him!

"Well, do you know "X-Files"?" Fang Mingyuan laughed.

"I know!" Seinov and Jackson said in unison.This TV series not only created a sci-fi mystery on the screen in the United States, but also made the leading actors David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson popular, and their star journey has been smooth since then.It has almost become the logo of American Fox Corporation!

"One of its screenwriters is a Chinese-American named Huang Yiyu! He has an idea about a thriller, and it's about..." Fang Mingyuan talked eloquently, but immediately attracted the attention of the two of them.

In American film and entertainment literature, there is a genre of horror films and horror novels. Although works of this type are not elegant, their popularity in the United States cannot be underestimated.Especially horror movies.It is easy to capture the psychology of the audience with a small capital and big profits, and it is easy to sell well

Huang Yiyu is the director and screenwriter of the "Death is Coming" series of movies that later shined in the world film industry! Although the box office results of the "Death Coming" series cannot be compared with films such as "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", and "Pirates of the Caribbean".Fang Mingyuan remembered that its highest box office was only 2000 million US dollars, but its cost was very low.The first one is only a mere [-] million US dollars.Therefore, it is also very good for film companies that fund the filming!

In his previous life, the "Death is Coming" series still left a deep impression on Fang Mingyuan.Calculating the time, it will be almost the next year, and according to the historical trajectory, it should also enter the vision of New Line Films.

Fang Mingyuan also thought about this series of movies at the beginning.Do you want to count it on the head of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company.It's just that after he thought about it back and forth, he felt that it was better to forget it.First of all, a small production movie of this type.It is no longer in line with the style I am used to presenting to movie fans in the film industry today - movie fans are very used to Fang's productions being masterpieces!

Secondly.He also really thinks that the number of Chinese directors in the world film industry is really small, so it is better not to "learn" or not to "learn from"-doesn't it be spring when a hundred flowers bloom?Just standing there alone.What's the point, and it can't drive people's awareness of the status of Chinese in the film industry.

Third, although he can also share this idea with other screenwriters of Kumho Film Group, and then let them create it, but in that case, the quality of the work is difficult to guarantee, and it is likely to ruin the theme, and it will also It is not conducive to the growth of these screenwriters.It's not that Fang Mingyuan never thought about recruiting Huang Yiyu as the screenwriter of the company, but it's an out-and-out reality that the Hong Kong film industry has gradually become mediocre after the handover!Kumho Film Group, if it hadn't been on the road of co-production from the beginning, I am afraid that it is also in trouble now.

So this time, when he learned that Seinov and the others were coming, Fang Mingyuan had already decided to give Huang Yiyu a hand in advance to facilitate this matter. Favor!Fang Mingyuan always felt that this Sheinov should have more influence in the United States.

The more Sheyinov listened, the happier he became. As a veteran filmmaker, his grasp of the pulse of American movies can be said to be above Fang Mingyuan's, not below Fang Mingyuan's. Therefore, although it is only a rough idea, it is still possible It has been confirmed that Fang Mingyuan's words are true, this script is indeed worth investing in filming.Moreover, the cost is low, the risk is small, and the possibility of profit is huge!And according to Fang Mingyuan, this script can also be developed into a series of movies, which would be even more of a cash cow!

However, at the same time, Seinov was also a little worried. Although Fang Mingyuan did not write the script and the screenwriter was also an American, if the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group wanted to recruit him, he did not think that the new line The film company can grab it!Although New Line Film Company is also an established film company, it is difficult to compare with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group in terms of assets and influence in the film industry now!

Although Fang Mingyuan recommended this person to him, surely it wouldn't be for free?What are Fang Mingyuan's conditions?If it was said that Fang Mingyuan's conditions could no longer be accepted, then he would give up?

Jackson was a little moved. In fact, many people don't know that the famous director of "Lord of the Rings" is also a horror film master. International Film Awards!Many film critics have rated it as the most bizarre, horrifying, inhuman and perverted film beyond all previous horror films!Fang Mingyuan once experienced this black humor work based on blood and disgust in the video hall in his previous life. There are so many disgusting scenes in it that it is difficult to count!

Among his later works, there are not a few that can be classified as horror films.Therefore, for this script, Jackson is indeed a little tempted.

"Peter, do you think you can take care of both sides?" Fang Mingyuan could see his thoughts, but just a simple sentence made Jackson completely dismiss this idea.Jackson is a smart man, so he naturally understands that since Fang Mingyuan said it, both New Line Film Company and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company will probably schedule the filming of the film in the shortest possible time.The truth of long nights and many dreams is not only understood by Chinese people!

And my own energy is limited, even if I win it, I am afraid it will be difficult to invest enough energy, not only it is difficult to guarantee the quality of its shooting, but it may also affect the filming of "The Lord of the Rings". If that is the case, wouldn't it be Lost on both ends?Besides, one is a low-budget horror film, and the other is a big production with an investment of [-] million US dollars that fans all over the world are paying attention to. It is not obvious which one is more important.If I affected the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" because of the new script, I would be the stupidest person in the world!

"Director Jackson, I have some ideas about the role of Eowyn, and I would like your advice!" Uda Mitsuri said to Jackson with a smile.

"Ah? Ms. Uda, please tell me!" Jackson was startled, and hurriedly said.

"Let's sit here and don't disturb them!" Uda Mitsuri pointed to the sofa next to them.

Seinov pondered for a while and said, "Fang, I'm very surprised. Since you are so optimistic about him, why don't you recruit him?"

Fang Mingyuan shrugged casually and said, "Because I'm not good at script writing for horror films, and he couldn't get a good development when he arrived in Hong Kong, because he likes to make horror films!"

Seinov looked at him with some puzzlement, what's wrong with making a horror film?There are also classics in horror movies, and every year in Hollywood, horror movies account for a staggering amount.

Fang Mingyuan smiled, but didn't explain much.What do you want him to say, in China's film industry, horror films are an insignificant genre. Hong Kong films originally ghost films also accounted for a very important share of the films released each year, but with the return of Hong Kong, Hong Kong films The share of Chinese ghost movies is also getting smaller and smaller, I am afraid that in the end it will just be better than Yuan!Remnants of feudal thought, this big hat, but no one wants to put it on.Coupled with the blockade of the domestic market and the shrinking overseas markets of Hong Kong films, this is a deplorable result.

Although Fang Mingyuan knew it would be such a result, there were things he could do nothing about in this world, and it wasn't just one or two leaders who could reverse Huaxia Film's consistent practice in this regard.

"Then what do you mean..." Seinov felt a little uncertain about Fang Mingyuan's thoughts.

"The film is still a joint production of two companies. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group needs at least 50.00% of the investment quota and the film copyright. Moreover, this series of films will be like this. But other works of Huang Yiyu, Hong Kong Kumho Film The group company doesn't have to take the initiative to ask, and New Line Films can invest and shoot at will." Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly, "I'm very optimistic about Mr. Huang's future director career!"

"Director's career?" Seinov keenly grasped the key words in Fang Mingyuan's words, and couldn't help asking in surprise, "Isn't he a screenwriter? Does he have any works released at present?"

"He is indeed a screenwriter now, but he really hopes to be able to direct his own works. As for the works that will be screened?" Fang Mingyuan thought for a long time, then spread his hands and said, "Maybe there are, but I don't remember!"

Seinov couldn't help being dumbfounded, and for a moment didn't know what to say!
