Chapter 625 Welcome
A major studio is looking for a new blockbuster franchise.

The fourth part of "The Hunger Games" has been filmed and will be released this year, and the series will officially come to an end.

Currently, a series of films owned by a major film company, "Chain Saw" has been shelved indefinitely since the 10th film in 7.

The Twilight Saga is over.

The first two parts of "Human Clearance Project" have been successful, and the filming of the third part will start this year.

"Maze Runner 2" will be finished in a few days.

"Quick Chase" made a small profit, and I plan to make a second part, but I have to wait until Liu Yifei gives birth.

"The Wronged Man" is also good, and the second part is also planned to be launched this year.

Now, the Hunger Games series is also coming to an end.

The above results look good, but apart from "The Hunger Games", most of the series in the hands of a major film company are R-rated films, which are not considered mainstream Hollywood productions.

Cheng Lingfeng wants to make another mainstream sci-fi action series like "The Hunger Games".

The money-making power of mainstream blockbusters is unmatched by R-rated films.

However, as an independent studio, a major film company will find it difficult to receive such resources unless it develops itself.

Cheng Lingfeng wanted to make manga, but she didn't have the copyright, and now everyone knew that manga made money, and other film companies would not easily use their resources to cooperate with a big film company.

Cheng Lingfeng fell in love with Universal's Jurassic series, and the first "Jurassic World" restarted by the big dinosaur was authorized by Universal.

"Jurassic World" has been confirmed to land in North America this summer.

Cheng Lingfeng wanted to sign a contract with Universal before the movie was released, and let Universal let her make two more "Jurassic World".

She bet that Jurassic World would make money.

But Universal is cunning to death. Although the first film is the restart of the "Jurassic" series after 14 years, Universal wants to wait for the results of "Jurassic World" before talking to Cheng Lingfeng.

If it loses money or just makes a small profit, Universal does not mind letting a big film company continue to make the IP of "Jurassic". Cheng Lingfeng, take back the IP and do it yourself.

To be honest, Cheng Yu'an has nothing to do about it, the hot IP has been monopolized, and he really can't get in.

But Cheng Yu'an still gave the little aunt an idea: "Make a classic remake. Hollywood has played so far, and the valuable IP has basically been filmed once. If you want to find another "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" that are not as good as It is too difficult for people to develop new IP.”

Cheng Yu'an thought for a while, and suggested that Cheng Lingfeng go to Disney: "They have a lot of old IPs, and no one has remade it for more than ten or twenty years. You can talk to them. You can win it with a licensing fee of 20 million. Disney will not refuse to give it to you." .”

A big animation company started with "Despicable Me", and the second animation "Big Hero [-]" was also a hit. Disney wanted to cooperate in depth. Cheng Lingfeng asked for IP authorization at this time. Disney sold well, so they should agree.

"You said if I shoot the princess series, will they agree?"

"You're delusional!" Cheng Yu'an laughed, "The princess series is their reserve, and they won't let others take pictures even if they smash their hands."

But Cheng Yu'an thought for a while, and then smiled: "There is a princess who is very special, so it's not that I can't try it."

Cheng Lingfeng immediately knew which princess he was planning: "Hua Mulan."

"Yeah." Cheng Yu'an nodded, "Mulan was originally a character in the public version. After Disney made a version of the cartoon, it has never been touched. We don't need Disney's authorization to film Mulan."

But after thinking about it, he said, "But we can buy the Disney brand."

Cheng Yu'an's idea is very simple. I photographed Mulan, but by putting up the sign of "Disney Princess", one can block domestic public opinion. Hua Mulan is a fictional historical figure, and there is actually a Mulan Research Association in reality. Forcing Jialin to apologize.

If Cheng Lingfeng wants to shoot Mulan and put up the Disney brand, the association has nothing to do with it.

The second is for global promotion in the name of Disney.

It is really difficult for Mulan filmed in China to go abroad, and it is much more convenient to pay a little money to get in Disney's car.

Speaking of Hua Mulan, one must think of his wife...

Forget it, it's still early, let's watch "Mulan" later.

""Mulan" is still early, let's watch it in two years. First, ask Disney for a remake of the old IP. If the effect is good, Disney will give us the princess series."

This is the difficulty for independent film producers, who do not have enough IP and film sources to expand the market.

It's not like a traditional big factory, with a bunch of classic IPs in hand, if there is no film to shoot, just find one and fry the cold rice again.

Part of the post-production special effects of "The Wandering Earth" was done by the American team. Cheng Yu'an and his team inspected the preparatory work of the American team and returned to China a week later.

…………

In the new year, the company will send away a group of elderly people. Tong Liya left the company to open a personal studio under the banner of Remote Culture.She took Tan Songyun away, and Tong Liya took a fancy to Tan Songyun's girlishness. She is over 20, and it is not against the harmony to play a middle school student. It is difficult for this kind of actor to become popular, but she will not be short of filming.

Mao Xiaotong also chose to start her own business. Sorry, the company didn't make her popular, but she and the company got together and broke up. Cai Yinong didn't make it difficult for her, and signed a letter to let her leave.

A group of newcomers also ushered in, and Cheng Yu'an was recruited by Cai Yinong to meet the newcomers.

"I'm gone, I have something to do here." Cheng Yu'an basically doesn't care about the agent now.

"The company is undergoing a transformation. It didn't sign a few newcomers this year. They came after you. See you anyway."

Now that it's all said and done, Cheng Yu'an has no choice but to agree.

"It's in the meeting room." The office of the remote culture is on the 13th-15th floors of the remote headquarters building.

Cheng Yu'an went upstairs and saw from a distance that the conference room was full of people. They should be newly signed artists and their managers assigned by the company.

As soon as Cheng Yu'an came in, he heard a female voice calling him: "Brother, why did you come here? Do you know how long we have been waiting for you? Are you busy preparing for the movie? When will Sister Yifei give birth? I can watch it when I have time." Is she..."

With a small mouth, before Cheng Yu'an could say a word, the little girl babbled dozens of words.

Cai Yinong called out, "Fan Qing."

The little girl pursed her mouth: "If you don't say it, don't you say it." After speaking, she sat down.

Only then did Cheng Yu'an take a closer look at this very talkative little girl, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and I've grown up so much."

This little girl is Sun Fanqing, whose nickname is Zuer, and the little Nezha in "The Lotus Lantern".

When Cheng Yuan was the producer of "Lotus Lantern", she realized that this little girl could speak, but she didn't expect that she could speak even more when she grew up.

"You still remember me." Sun Fanqing smiled.

"Why don't you remember, you were only this big at that time." After finishing speaking, he gestured with his hand on his waist, "At that time, I could say in the crew, blah blah, no one in the crew will bother you, and now I have grown into a big girl gone."

Sun Fanqing doesn't care if others say she's talkative.

Cai Yinong made the opening: "I don't need to introduce him, you all know him. Introduce yourself to Director Cheng."

"Hello, Director Cheng. My name is Song Tie. I was born in 1989 and graduated from Chinese opera."

Ok?
What a girl, why is she called Song Tie?

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "I know you, you are the number one human being, right?"

"Yes." The girl smiled. At that time, she was the first in the human arts examination and caused quite a stir.

Song Tie's management relationship is still in Renyi, and he signed a film and television and commercial performance contract with Yuanyuan Culture, and the two do not conflict.

Song Tie had no filming after graduation, and it was the director of "The Pretender" who asked her to act, so she was able to start working.

Cai Yinong saw that this girl had good acting skills, talent, and good looks, so she signed her.

"Hello, Director Cheng. My name is Peng Yuchang. I majored in puppet performance at the 12th level of Shanghai Opera." The young man hasn't graduated yet.

"How to learn this major?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"The acting department doesn't want me, so I'll just learn a puppet show, and I'll talk after I get in." Peng Yuchang said bluntly.

Cheng Yu'an was amused: "That's the truth. I was admitted to the directing department because I was not in the acting department." Cheng Yu'an returned the favor.

Sun Fanqing stood up and wanted to introduce herself, but Cheng Yuan interrupted her: "Don't talk about it, I see you growing up."

"Oh," Sun Fanqing was not allowed to speak, she had to suffocate, "Why are you so bad? Hello everyone, my name is Sun Fanqing, also known as Song Zuer, you can call me Zuer, born in 98, 17 years old this year, planning to take the exam Film school, I like..."

"Okay, okay, it's endless." Cheng Yu'an was almost annoyed by her within 10 minutes after entering the door.

Song Zuer gave Cheng Yu'an a blank look, and sat down.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Xincheng, and I am a freshman majoring in musical theater at the 14th level of Chinese opera." The young man is very handsome.

Cheng Yu'an said: "I have to ask you for the Film Academy, why you didn't take the exam for our school."

Zhang Xincheng is known as the god of art examination by the outside world, No.1 in performance creation major of film academy, No.1 in Shanghai opera performance (music direction), No.1 in Chinese opera musical performance major, No.1 in military art performance major , No.1 performance major of Jinling Academy of Arts, No.2 performance major of Chinese media, and finally entered the musical theater department of Chinese opera with a score of 500 in the college entrance examination and the first place in culture and majors.

A lot of colleges were scrambling for him last year.

Zhang Xincheng didn't know how to answer the question, Cheng Yuan motioned him to sit down: "It's okay, it's just a personal choice."

The last girl stood up: "Hi Dao Cheng, my name is Cheng Xiao, born in 98."

Her resume is the simplest among the five people that Yuanyuan signed this year. Cheng Xiao himself doesn't know why Yuanyuan signed her.

She is doing well as a trainee in Korea, preparing for her debut.

Unexpectedly, one day the company notified her to pack up her things and leave.

Nervous, she was at a loss for a while, and finally the company told her that a domestic company had taken a fancy to her and was going to buy out her contract and sign her back to China.

Cheng Xiao was signed by YC Studio to return to China.

To put it bluntly, what I like is her figure, and her athletic ability surpasses that of her peers.

YC Studio felt it could push her into commercial action movies, like Scarlett Johansson.

So he interrupted her trainee career and sent her back to China.

Signing a long-distance contract, this is a pie that fell from the sky, how could Cheng Xiao not follow up, tell his parents the news without saying a word, and sign the contract while going home for the New Year.

Cheng Xiao signed a contract with the No. [-] domestic film and television company in advance, but he made Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi, who were on the same team, envious.

For the first four, Cheng Yu'an can still find a few words to chatter, but to Cheng Xiao, he really doesn't know what to say, he can't say that your figure is really good.

Cheng Xiao came to the company today wearing a black sweater and a thin down jacket.

Look at it this way, it's too big...

She is only 17!
Cheng Yu'an had nothing to say, "We are from the same family, where are you from?"

"I'm from Guangdong Province."

"Okay, sit down."

The company only signed these five newcomers this year. Cheng Yuan encouraged a few words: "Even if everyone knows each other today, we will work hard in the company in the future. There will be many dramas and activities in the company, and we will not treat you badly. I will not participate in the welcome banquet tonight. There is something to do later, you are busy."

After speaking, he left.
