Light and shadow player

Since Uncle Da was old and not in good health, Cheng Yu'an couldn't bear to let him participate in heavy training.

But Uncle Da disagreed: "Even children are training with you, so I am ashamed not to practice. Don't worry, I know my own body, how to train and how to train, I can stand it."

However, Cheng Yuan also reduced the amount of training for Uncle Da: "The production crew will start on February 2 next year, and you can join the training at the end of next month. There are professional medical staff on site. If you have any discomfort, you must tell us. .”

"It's as if I'm going to die tomorrow, don't worry, I'm not worse than these young people."

After making an appointment to join the group, Cheng Yu'an had dinner with Uncle Da before sending him to the car.

Facts have proved that people really only have one bowl of rice.

It's okay for Mr. Zhou to be an actor, but she really can't do it as a producer.

"Spending the Long Years with Anthony" played the card produced by Mr. Zhou. Its box office was only a little over 1000 million on the first day, and it exceeded 3 million in 4000 days in the first weekend.

This kind of achievement obviously cannot satisfy Mr. Zhou and the film crew.

And "007: Spectre", which was released on the same day as "Anthony", hit 9000 million on that day, and 3 million in the first weekend.

In the past, the elixir of sniping Hollywood blockbusters-domestic youth films are really dead.

And the final chapter of the "Hunger Games" series is about to be released in its second week.

This series looks mediocre in China, but the first three films also earned 5 million yuan.

"The Hunger Games" has sold extremely well overseas, with the three previous films grossing over $23 billion at the box office.

The fourth part is performing normally, and it should not be difficult for this series to end with a score of 30 billion U.S. dollars.

But a major studio is also facing difficulties.

Since "The Hunger Games", there is no other series that can compare with it.

"Human Purge Project" and "Maze Runner" make money, but they are all small things.

It is really not that easy for Cheng Lingfeng to pick up IP adaptations in the market.

This is the difficulty of independent film studios without historical accumulation.

Universal has taken back the copyright of "Jurassic", and they will make the second "Jurassic World" by themselves.

Cheng Yu'an's idea to Cheng Lingfeng was to seek the remake rights of classic movies from Liu Da.

Cheng Lingfeng first aimed at Disney, who told them that they have a lot of IPs.

"The Jungle Book" has been completed.

Director Jon Favreau got inspiration from "The Jungle Book", and wanted to apply the virtual photography and real-life + CG technology used in "The Jungle Book" to Disney's classic animation "The Lion King".

Cheng Yu'an felt that this kind of idea was very clever, so he contacted Disney and asked for the right to remake "The Lion King".

Disney refused at the beginning. "The Lion King" is Disney's gold-lettered signboard. Although it has been 21 years, Disney does not want to easily authorize this timeless classic for fear of smashing the signboard.

Cheng Yuan personally flew to the US Disney headquarters, and met with David Hollis, executive vice president of Disney film sales and distribution, for a detailed discussion.

The outside world only knows that the two met, but what the two sides talked about, outsiders have no way of knowing.

Only three days later, Cheng Yu'an took pictures on Cheng Lingfeng's desk with the authorization letters for remakes of "The Lion King" and "Aladdin" signed by Disney.

"Take a good shot, you know how much I paid to let the vampires of Disney relax."

Cheng Lingfeng looked at the authorization letter: "How did you negotiate the 450 million licensing fees for the two films? I'll go and talk. They want me 1700 million for just one "Lion King"."

A remake of a movie 21 years ago dared to ask for 1700 million yuan, which is not the way to grab money.

"Don't worry about what you talk about, I didn't sell my sovereignty."

"Katenberg would be crazy if he knew we were doing a 'Lion King' remake."

"The Lion King" is Katzenberg's most proud work in Disney. Now that Cheng Yu'an has won the remake rights from Disney, Katzenberg will probably vomit blood with anger.

Katzenberg was originally dissatisfied with a big animation company getting too close to Disney, and now that Cheng Yu'an is going to remake "The Lion King", he will most likely feel that Cheng Yu'an has betrayed the friendship of DreamWorks.

"Don't worry about Katzenberg, DreamWorks Animation can't live on anymore, so there is no time to care about us. If the agreement in my hand can't be transferred, I got off the car last year."

"How about awards season?"

""Spotlight" is too fierce, and it caused a national discussion when it was released. Our "Danish Girl" and "Carol" want to grab the best picture from him. The chances are too small."

The film "Focus" is too in line with the aesthetics of the white left. It exposes the scandal of the American church, and it is still in the Boston base camp.

It is said that the crew received strong organization and even death threats from certain people and organizations during filming.

This was revealed during the public relations of their production crew. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it did win a lot of sympathy points for the film.

"So I focus on public relations on male and female actor."

"Little Freckle just won Best Actor last year." Cheng Yu'an reminded her.

"I know, but the little freckles are really good in this film."

"No matter how good it is, it's useless. In history, only Spencer Tracy has won the best actor. If the little freckles can win the championship, the academy can't explain it to the outside world. Unless you are willing to spend 2000 million US dollars to buy this actor."

"And to be honest, Little Freckle's acting in "The Danish Girl" is not much different from last year's "The Theory of Everything". Absolutely no chance of winning.

"It's not as good as a key public relations actress."

""Blue Jasmine" is also two years old."

"But Kate won the Cannes Best Actress this year, and the outside world is very popular. Try it. If you don't have confidence, you won't do PR this year, and you can sit in the audience and watch the show with a few nominations."

Having said that, Cheng Lingfeng is really tempted: "Let's try it out, look at the situation of various films during this period, and wait until the nomination list is announced. Speaking of which, I haven't been on vacation for a long time, and when this thing is over, I will also give Take a long vacation and go out to have fun."

Speaking of this year's Oscars, Cheng Yu'an said with a smile: "I think this year's best actor may be Leon."

"Leon is poisonous, maybe he will turn yellow again this year."

"Anyway, I'm planning to vote for him. It's time to vote. If I don't vote, I'm sorry for the way he's ruined himself these past few years. If I don't vote this year, I can't imagine what role he will play to please the old men in the academy. Why don't I go too?" Playing LGBT?" Cheng Yu'an laughed.

After talking with Cheng Lingfeng, Cheng Yuan went out.

"where are you going?"

"I'm going to see my wife and children. Could it be you?"

"John Wick 2" is still in New York, and in a month's time it will be transferred to Rome for filming. Cheng Yu'an took advantage of the convenience, and hurriedly set off to New York to have a look.
