This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 270 Auction

"Animated movies related to Chinese Kung Fu?" Jiang Bai couldn't help repeating.

There is indeed a big market for animated films now, otherwise he wouldn't be vigorously cultivating dumplings in the company.

It's just that there is a shortage of talents in all aspects of the country, and the overall environment still thinks that this kind of animation is only for children, and adults should watch what adults should watch.

In addition, this industry chain is not so developed, and the audit is relatively strict, so even if it develops, it develops relatively slowly.

"Yes, the animated films related to Chinese Kung Fu are only produced in the form of animation, and there will be no real actors appearing on the screen, but I have also asked Mr. Jiang before, although you are very young, your kung fu is already considered first-class in China , has the potential of Jet Li and Jackie chan, and is also very experienced in action direction, so I would like to invite you to play and do dubbing.

And another point is that after the film is produced, I want it to be released in many regions, so many kinds of dubbing are needed. This aspect depends on your requirements. If you are qualified for English dubbing, then the English dubbing work It will be handed over to you too, if you don't want to do dubbing, then just do motion capture and motion design, and I will find someone else to do the dubbing. "

Seeing each other, we immediately started chatting about dubbing.

"Wait a minute, director, I don't know your name yet."

"Mark Osborne."

"Okay Director Mark, I heard from you just now that this movie will not be starred in the form of a real person. Does that mean that this movie is not a human image? Otherwise, with today's art level, it is possible to make animations The character is linked to the characteristics of the actor."

"Yes, I have already written the script. The main character is the giant panda, the mascot of China. The other characters are also designed according to various images of Chinese Kung Fu. There are tigers, apes, and cranes."

"That is Tiger Fist, Monkey Fist and Crane Fist. This is our country's Xingyi Fist."

"Yes, I have checked a lot of information before, so now I sincerely invite you to participate in our crew, and if you want, in addition to the actor's motion capture and dubbing, you can also be placed side by side Among the directors, because you are Chinese, you are more familiar with the ancient Chinese background. We need to refer to your opinions when shooting many scenes, so you can be regarded as a member of the main creative team. In addition, you also need to be responsible for the kung fu. aspects of the design.”

Jiang Bai pondered for a while.

A Chinese Kung Fu movie made by a foreigner asked me to be the action director. I should also be the protagonist's motion capture and dubbing as well as the design of some scripts and scenes...

There is a lot of work, but Jiang Bai feels that the opportunity is good.

"So when will the filming start?"

"I expect it to be in April, because our team has already designed the various images inside, and now we are waiting for the previously ordered equipment to be in place."

"What about the production company?"

"The production company is DreamWorks."

"Hollywood." Jiang Bai nodded.

In fact, many people talk about Hollywood, but a considerable number of people don’t know what Hollywood actually means?In fact, Hollywood is a place name located northwest of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the beautiful country.

The Hollywood that people often say actually refers to several film and television giants here. Among them, Paramount and Universal Pictures were the first to be established, both founded in 1912, while Warner Bros. was founded in 1918.

In addition, Columbia Pictures, which has the most cooperation in China, is also a member of Hollywood. In addition, MGM and 20th Century Fox belong to Hollywood.

The DreamWorks mentioned by Mark was also opened in Hollywood. The current DreamWorks Animation Company was established last year by the spin-off of the animation department of DreamWorks Studios and went public in the same year.

DreamWorks has also produced many familiar works in the past, among which the "Shrek" series can be regarded as their most successful and out-of-the-box works.

Jiang Bai also didn't expect that the first opportunity he encountered to enter Hollywood as a starring role was in a cartoon.

"Okay, what about the pay?"

"The remuneration is $800 million, plus 1% of all earnings per year after release."

The overall conditions are good, and Jiang Bai has some intentions, but whether he wants to agree or not, he still has to go back to China to discuss with Lao Zhao to see if there are other signings next year.

But Jiang Bai estimated that there would be basically no one who could offer a higher price than the one offered here, unless Zhang Yi made a new film and then asked himself to be the male number one, probably such a price would be possible.

But for filming Zhang Yimou, it is definitely impossible for him to get dividends, unless the company is willing to invest.

But now all the company's money is used to make movies, and there is no money to invest if the movie is not released. This time, the money earned on "Fast and Furious" can barely cover the company's expenses for the next period of time.

"If Mr. Jiang has any ideas, please contact us as soon as possible after returning. We will then discuss the details of the contract. Otherwise, if the delay is too long, we will consider looking for other actors."

"No problem, how about an answer within a week?"

"it is good."

“Hopefully we can work together then.”

Out of nowhere, he received an invitation from Hollywood. Paul Walker looked at Jiang Bai enviously: "Jiang, maybe we can meet again then."

"Yes, but do you have any plans for the future?"

"Next, I'm going to shoot a film related to scientific expeditions. I should go to Canada, Denmark, Colombia, Stewart... It may take a long time to shoot."

Jiang Bai listened to the last place name, although his English is quite good now, but he was still a little dizzy.

"Then what are you talking about when we meet next time? Even if I come back to shoot, I won't be able to see you. Your movie will take a long time to shoot."

"Hahaha, what if it's possible? Even if it's not possible, I can go to China to find you then."

"That's fine."

The two chatted all afternoon, and it was night in the blink of an eye.

Now all the guests are going to the auction together.

"Jiang Bai, do you have any idea to buy a few cars back for collection? After all, you are also the leading actor in this movie, and the cars in it are still very commemorative." Paul Walker asked with a smile.

Jiang Bai shook his head: "I won't buy it. I don't have any money now. I had some before, but the company has already spent all the money it makes on movies. I can spend up to 20 US dollars on my whole body now, just waiting to go back. "The Fast and the Furious" paid me."

"Well, you see, it's not good for you to be the boss of the company." Paul Volker joked.

"Yes, although being a boss makes money, you need to spend money before making money."

The content of the auction is naturally the cars used in the filming of this movie.

And this auction has two purposes. The first purpose is to promote the movie itself, because it is impossible for only guests to participate in the auction. Apart from these guests, there will be hundreds of media coming.

The second purpose is to give back to the sponsors.

Sponsors who get out of the car can be counted as real money, even if all the proceeds are used for charity, but at least under the overwhelming media publicity, the brand has a lot of exposure.

It is equivalent to this movie sending them an extra advertisement.

An advertisement of this scale cannot be paid for without millions of dollars. Of course, the money hired by media reporters is all the publicity and distribution expenses of "Fast and Furious".

The wool still comes from the sheep.

Jiang Bai sat in the front, while the other big bosses sat in the boxes.

It's just that Jiang Bai didn't sit with Paul Walker this time, he was surrounded by the leading actors and directors of the show.

Soon the auction will start.

The first auctions were some cars that appeared in the film, and most of these cars were preserved intact. After all, these cars are supporting roles, as long as they play a role in the play, they only appear in a few scenes.

However, the auctioneer still worked hard to introduce the various configurations of the cars, and also simultaneously played the scenes of these cars that appeared in the movie.

Soon people began to offer prices, but everyone's bids were relatively rational, and there were no additions of hundreds of thousands or millions as seen in some novels.

After all, if these cars are bought normally, they will only cost about 20 US dollars, and the cost of modification will be up to [-] US dollars.

Jiang Bai watched a few shows, and the final transaction prices of these cars were basically around 15 to 25.

After filming the previous cars, some cars were damaged by collisions during filming. Some of them can still be driven after repair, but some have lost the value of repair, so they just adjusted their appearance and sold them directly.

Paul Walker also bought one of the more retro ones. This car was driven by the actor during the filming in Los Angeles at the beginning, but because this car was driven on a rampage during the filming, the price will naturally not It was too high, and in the end Paul Walker won it at a price of 20. Others basically raised their cards once or twice when they saw Paul Walker bid.

Anyway, there are so many cars, so everyone can take pictures of others by giving each other face.

Seeing Paul Walker's successful bid, Jiang Bai even sent a text message to express his congratulations.

As one car after another was sold, some cars were sold in packages later on.

I bought two or three cars at a time, but when the rich and well-known Hollywood actors raised their cards, they didn't even blink their glasses, and they went straight to spend 20 to [-] yuan.

"Sure enough, the world of the rich is still different."

Waiting until 11:30 p.m. Los Angeles time, finally the heavyweight finale car appeared.

The first one is the Mazda RX7 driven by Bai played by Jiang Bai in the movie, and this car is also named Mona Lisa.

The normal price of this car is $[-], but it has been modified a lot for filming.

The final modified value is about $20.

Jiang Bai looked at this car and sighed. If possible, he really wanted to buy this car, and he did have some money in his hand, but the money could be used for other things later. Really penniless.

However, Paul Walker seemed to be very interested in this car, and he kept increasing the price, and finally bought the car for $45.

Then there is the Nissan 350Z driven by the villain. This car is slightly cheaper than the Mazda RX7, but it has also been modified, and the degree of modification is no weaker than the RX7. Plus, the black appearance looks like Just like Darth Vader, he is even more liked by everyone present.

In the end, the car was bought after the price increased all the way to 51 US dollars.

Immediately after that is the penultimate car, Mitsubishi's eighth-generation EVO, which is also known as the strongest four-cylinder car. Like the Nissan 350Z, it is also a civilian-level sports car, but this car is in every major rally. very popular.

In the play, this car was given to the actor for free, and the commemorative value is extraordinary, and it was finally photographed for 55 yuan.

And the winner of this car is the number one male himself.

Anyway, it was the car he drove, and the other party was two years younger than Jiang Bai, and this was the eighth movie he made, and it was also the movie with the largest investment.

Seeing this, Jiang Bai was not surprised and sighed again.

When the last car in the auction came up, everyone's eyes could not help but be attracted to it. It was an authentic American muscle car with a sexy big rear spoiler at the back.

Although it is a model more than 30 years ago, it is still very capable even now, not to mention it has been modified by a professional modification company.

After a 5-minute introduction, everyone began to bid, including Lin Yibin who hadn't said much before, who also rarely asked a price of 35 US dollars.

But soon someone added it directly to 40.

Afterwards, Paul Walker, Vin Diesel and others also added several times, but seeing those business owners as if they would not leave until they got the car, they all gave up in the end.

Although they have money, they are still far behind those bosses.

Because this car was not a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, in the end the price of this car soared all the way, and finally came to a price of 210 million dollars before finally stopping.

This made Jiang Bai sigh, as expected, there are still many rich people.

Thinking back to this time last year, he could easily take out 200 million US dollars, but he was absolutely reluctant to let him take this money to buy a retro sports car.

And this money looks like food and water to those rich people, who buy it as soon as they say it, without blinking their eyes.

After the auction, the winners of all the cars can now find someone to take the keys and drive the car away, and the auctioneer can also directly arrange for the car to be sent back if it cannot be driven.

You can also put it in the warehouse for a while and pick it up later.

"Jiang, wait a minute, let's go together." Paul Walker stopped Jiang Bai.

It wasn't long before Paul returned.

With a wave of his hand, a black thing flew over.

"Jiang, this is for you."

Jiang Bai reached out to catch it, and opened it to have a look.

It was a car key.

　It's broken, I wrote the wrong serial number in the title yesterday
