Ace Hollywood - Chapter 434

“Don’t be like that, Mark, Fox has nothing to do with Avatar.”

James is known as a tyrant, but he also makes a little joke about these big men who are equal to him.

Mark rolled his eyes, “The problem is that Fox is hesitant now. If they want to continue filming the sequel, this distribution method will definitely not be approved by the board of directors.”

“If I remember correctly, there is a clause in our agreement that dd Pictures has the freedom to shoot the sequel?” Daniel raised his eyebrows. Of course, Daniel agreed to shoot such a small-budget comedy, and jointly asked for the right to shoot the sequel. Fox Thought he was just treading lightly. But looking at it now, both dd and Fox have joint venture and wholly-owned filming rights. But the important point is that Daniel belongs to the dd film industry, then the dd film industry has complete conditions for the shooting of the sequel.

Fox’s headache is this, for them, there is one less option.

If they plan to shoot it solely, then Daniel will definitely not appear in the sequel.

Even if they are working on James’ Avatar, that will never change Daniel’s mind – if Fox is going to drop dd, then Daniel will not hesitate to turn down a sequel. And, dd Pictures won’t hesitate to shoot its own sequel — a true sequel with Daniel’s.

There’s no question of who the fans will buy into — the cast is the hallmark of the sequel.

Mark rubbed his forehead, “It’s really a headache. I knew it wasn’t an easy thing for you to watch “Night at the Museum Ball”.”

“Oh, no, that’s a simple decision, to get close to you, and then get involved in “Avatar”.”

Daniel gave an honest answer.

From the expressions of Mark and James, you can see how honest he is.

“…Well, you got your wish, and you picked up a movie with a global box office of 600 million in vain?” Mark rubbed his left chest artificially, where his heart is. He wanted to say that his heart hurts.

James stretched out his hands helplessly.

“Daniel has always been like this. Disney may have a common language with you.”

This obviously refers to “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”. DD Films used 33% of the European investment rights in the “Pirates” series, which makes many people feel envious. The box office of “Pirates 2” has no doubt told everyone. How big is the market and potential of this commercial series – so far, the two “Pirates of the Caribbean” have brought nearly 8 billion in various operating income to Disney and dd Pictures, with the “Pirates 2” With the arrival of various income windows, it is not impossible for this number to rise to tens of billions.

The cumulative box office of the two films is 2 billion, according to the proportion of 20%-30%. The total revenue has indeed approached 10 billion. Of course, most of them are from Disney, and dd Pictures has only a small part of it. However, in “Pirates 2” and subsequent series, the proportion of dd Pictures will increase. , this figure will be very impressive.

Mark wanted to say something else, but was interrupted roughly by James, “Okay, that’s it. Daniel isn’t here to talk business with you today.”

James brought Daniel to the studio.

“Today you have to ask them to make a computer model for you.”

Many of the staff had already prepared things. Those clothes were covered with various electronic devices. Daniel looked at them with interest.

“Daniel, wave your hand.”

Daniel, who was wearing a green tight-fitting special effects suit, listened to the engineer’s instructions, moved his hands and feet, then jumped, turned, and squatted down. Leaning forward… Wait, I did quite a few movements, which lasted for nearly three hours, intermittently. After adding some discussion and explanation, Daniel took off the uncomfortable garment.

“It’s amazing, but it’s not flattering at all.” Daniel leaned over to the computer, “Have the images of Zoe and Sigourney been made?”

“Yes, do you want to take a look?”

“uh-huh.”

The special effects engineer quickly brought up the images of the two female leads.

“Wow, lifelike.”

See it on the computer. Zoe and Sigourney, wiggling their hands and feet there, moving smoothly and naturally, “Technology is such a wonderful thing.”

He sighed, but Daniel found that whether it was Mark, James, or the engineer next to him, they all looked at him with rather playful eyes, which made him a little puzzled, “What happened?”

“I’m a Weta employee.”

“Vita Digital? Oh, my—God!” Daniel shrugged, “Well, my company with Richard and Peter is really good.”

……

Leaving the studio, Mark was kicked out by James, who couldn’t bear it. James, Daniel, and Jon Landau, the three producers, gathered in the conference room.

“Now the animals and Na’vi people have been made, but there are still some terrains, such as mountains, vegetation and the like.” James opened a concept film, there are some suspended peaks that are not particularly fine, “similar to this.”

Daniel was all too familiar with this.

China has been arguing about where this scene came from.

Yes, it is Hallelujah Mountain.

“Why don’t you go to other countries to look for it?” Daniel suggested with a bit of wickedness~www.mtlnovel.com~ I promise, at least in China, we can get a lot of materials, there are a lot of such exquisite, just need to put It’s ok for them to be suspended. “

“Is it?”

Daniel nodded, “Well, I’ll ask the employees of dd China to find some photos and video materials for you to see first. You can judge whether it’s suitable. If it’s suitable, we’ll send some more people.”

“good idea.”

Jon Landau also nodded, “There are indeed many strange mountains in China, and there must be some that can inspire James.”

“Speaking of which, Daniel should be quite familiar with China?”

The establishment of dd China was delayed for two months, and it was officially announced after the Oscars. dd Pictures has created a joint venture with an official Chinese film company, which is also big news in Hollywood.

It is impossible for Jon Landau and James not to know.

“Chinese joint ventures can only make movies, and according to their laws, distribution needs to be handed over to another shareholder, China Film Corporation. That’s China’s trust, so under the current conditions, it can be regarded as a Nice deal.”

“Are you sure you want to make local Chinese movies there? To be honest, that land is full of mystery. It’s too old to be understood.”

“But some things are always in common, not to mention, dd also has local partners.” (To be continued.)
