China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 514 Fixed Angle and Theme Park Plan

After several days of casting, the position of the heroine still has not been finalized.

After many rounds of screening, four candidates were left.

Zhou Xun, Fan Binbin, Zhao Liying, and Jennifer Lawrence, the heroine of "The Hunger Games".

All four of them have their own strengths and weaknesses.

周讯
Acting: A+
Notability: B
Salary: B-
Fan Xiaopang

Acting: B
Notability: B+
Remuneration: C+ (willing to reduce salary)
Zhao Liying

Acting: B-
Notability: B-
Salary: C- (cheap)
Jennifer Lawrence
Acting skills: A
Notability: A+
Remuneration: S (expensive)

If you put aside the salary, Jennifer Lawrence is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, but her shortcomings are too obvious.

The pay is very expensive.

10 votes VS 10 votes.

Just think of it as compensation for 'stealing' "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

Then the second person to be eliminated was Miss Zhao. In fact, if she was not a contracted artist of Xingchen Media, she would not even be able to enter the third round.

This result also made the vote in Lu Yuan's hand a crucial one.

Therefore, James Lawrence was eliminated first.

If it was around 800 million, I would probably choose her.

In the final round of voting, they both received the same number of votes.

It’s really not worth spending so much for a role that doesn’t have a big role.

"Uncle Da, hello, welcome, welcome."

However, despite the results, Star Media did not immediately announce the candidate for the heroine.

a few days later.

The brokerage firm offered $1200 million.

Uncle Da rushed to the Xingyue Film Base and prepared to take makeup photos.

Uncle Da plays the role of Han Ziang.

Lu Yuan thought for a long time and finally voted for Zhou Xun.

Because a Chinese actress was chosen, this role still follows the original casting of "The Wandering Earth".

Although Guo Fan is a director, he is still very polite to the older generation of actors. It is not too much to say that he grew up watching Uncle Da's movies.

The first makeup photo that Star Media plans to release is of the heroine’s father, Han Ziang.

But this is unrealistic. My eldest cousin is already one of the top women in Hollywood under the age of 30, so there is no need to lower her status.

Although her salary is the cheapest, investing in a movie worth over one billion yuan would not be short of the thousands of millions in salary expenses.

In the end, Zhou Xun and Fan Xiaopang were left.

"Hello, Director Guo."

Uncle Da shook hands with Guo Fan politely. Among the Xiangjiang actors, his Mandarin accent was not that strong.

He is five times better than Zha Zhahui.

Then, Guo Fan took Uncle Da for a walk around the film and television base.

"The Wandering Earth" has a total of 15 studios set up, including space station interiors, underground city interiors, above-ground exteriors, planetary engines, etc. The important scenes of the entire film are all real-life construction + post-production special effects processing.

From design to construction to erection, it took nearly two years.

For example, the clothes Uncle Da wears for his makeup photos are specially customized clothes, and a set costs hundreds of thousands.

Being so expensive must be more than just the production cost.

Design costs are also included.

Yes.

It has design and development, and the space center participated in the initial layout design.

Not only ground mobility suits and combat suits, but also space suits, astronaut suits, space station interiors/appearances, etc. Everything related to aerospace and aviation has the participation of the aerospace center. In terms of weapons, design is also involved.

In addition, relevant design agencies, such as Sany Heavy Industry, are involved in the modeling of engineering equipment, including those trailers.

There is only one final result!
It is necessary to ensure the relevant scientific laws of physics, dynamics, etc., while retaining the sense of future science fiction.

In the preliminary preparation work, the design of the script and various models is the most time-consuming part.

After the plan was finalized, it only took less than half a year to set up the scene and produce it.

The reason why Xingchen Media has to spend huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build real-life scenes is that it is definitely not a one-time deal.

Is Boss Lu the kind of person who is extravagant and wasteful?

Even if you touch the toad, you have to squeeze out two ounces of oil!
The scenery was built for subsequent theme park services. The studio of "The Wandering Earth" was not built inside the Xingyue Film and Television Base.

Instead, it was built on an open space next to the base.

In the future, it will be a theme park test area.

After the movie is released, the "Wandering Earth" studio will be open to the public.

of course.

Lu Yuan didn't expect to make money from this. It was too difficult to make a profit based on just one theme. No, to be precise, it was unrealistic.

After the opening, even if movie fans come over, it will probably be a one-time deal.

It was just a testing ground.

A testing ground for future theme park services.

"The Return of the Great Sage", "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp"/"Tomb Raiders Notes", "The Wandering Earth", "Pacific Rim", plus "Xi Yangyang and Big Big Wolf", "Bear Infested", there are six themes in total, which can barely support a building Theme Park.

"Xi Yang Yang" and "Bear Infestation" are not the original IPs of Xingchen Media, but Xing Chen Media has invested in two companies and will continue to increase capital and shareholding in the future. The reason for spending so much effort is entirely because of the IP value of "Xi Yang Yang" and "Bear Infestation" .

It is undeniable that these two children's cartoons are rare childish IPs among domestic films, and are very suitable for attracting children under the age of 8.

Star Media Theme Park is a long-term strategic plan.

To put it simply, it is still in the PPT stage. Star Media spent so much money to make a movie and just rely on the box office, which is a big loss.

IP development is the right approach.

Lu Yuan never thought about making it the level of [Disneyland]. How many years did it take for people to build Disneyland?
How old is Star Media?
Within ten years, if Star Media can build one or two theme parks in China, Lu Yuan will be very happy.

The best situation is two theme parks, one in the south and one in the north.

Taking a step back, Boss Lu would be satisfied even if he only built one theme park that could be self-financing.

but.

Before that, he had to complete another thing.

Acquire Shanda Literature!

By 2013, Shanda was becoming increasingly old and frail.

The founding team of Singularity.com officially broke away from Shanda Literature and shook up the Internet literature circle by leaving collectively.

Game business revenue plummeted, the literary team left, privatization encountered obstacles, and all fronts of Shanda Network were completely lost.

Signs that the building will collapse are already beginning to appear.

After some time, Boss Lu plans to visit Shanda and try to acquire more shares of Shanda Literature.

In addition to increasing his stake in Shanda Literature, he also did not forget to invest in the founder team of Singularity.com.

Both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard!
I don't know if Star Media's 'Disney Plan' can impress Boss Chen.

If you can't complete your dream, I will complete it for you!

Create a Chinese version of 'Disney'!
If he can't convince Boss Chen, Lu Yuan can only activate his cash ability.

However, his money-making ability is delayed, and the delay is relatively long. He has to wait until "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is launched and becomes popular before he can have the money-making ability to do whatever he wants.

There is no deal in the world that cannot be negotiated.

If we can't reach an agreement, it must be that the price is not adequate.
