As soon as Yu Dong arrived at the hotel banquet hall, Michael Eisner found him.
With a smile on his face, Eisner said congratulations after finding Yu Dong: "YU, congratulations, such a grand event has been successfully completed."
"Mr. Eisner, the success of this event would not be possible without the support of you and everyone else."
"This is my first time to attend the Deep Space Annual Conference. I am very shocked by this lively scene." Eisner smiled, and then changed the topic, "YU, congratulations on your acquisition of PDI. I believe,
With the participation of pdi, the cooperation between our two companies will definitely be smoother in the future."
Hearing Eisner's words, Yu Dong twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed. There was something in this guy's words. He clearly said that he was happy for PDI to participate in their cooperation. In fact, he was asking whether Deep Space Company would consider letting PDI after it merged with PDI.
pdi is involved.
Yu Dong guessed that Eisner would pay attention to this. He smiled and said, "Mr. Eisner, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. After all, PDI's size is not particularly large, and it can't take on too much work.
The "Shrek" we took over from DreamWorks also needs to be accelerated, so PDI may not have time to participate in the cooperation between our two companies in a short period of time. Even after the production of "Shrek" is completed,
Our company also has other plans that require PDI to do, and if Disney wants PDI to participate, it will take at least a few years."
Eisner raised his eyebrows and said with a disappointed look: "That's really a pity. PDI is a very good company. If we can have their assistance, our work will definitely be smoother. Of course, for PDI
I also understand their absence. After all, the Deep Space Company is developing rapidly now and there are many places where they need to be used."
In fact, after hearing Yu Dong's words, Eisner seemed to have taken a reassurance and felt relieved. He did not want Deep Space to involve PDI at all. In this case, Disney would have to make some concessions.
It may even affect the overall plan.
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Although we have acquired PDI, our company still lacks experience in animated films, and we will need more help from your company in the future."
Eisner nodded repeatedly, "Of course, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help."
…
After Eisner left with satisfaction, Spielberg came over again, followed by Doug Liman, the director of "The Butterfly Effect".
Nowadays, Doug Liman is very proud. After the two films "I Lived 10,000 Years" and "The Butterfly Effect" were released, he became a hot young director in Hollywood and received various invitations. I heard that he now makes at least one movie every day.
Decline both offers.
In fact, Doug Liman himself did not expect that these two movies would be so successful, especially "I Lived for Ten Thousand Years."
Including the box office of several European countries, the final global box office of "I Lived for Ten Thousand Years" reached more than 29 million.
It broke two records of Deep Space Corporation (USA).
One is the lowest-grossing movie.
That's right, "I Lived for Ten Thousand Years" is the lowest-grossing film among the films Deep Space Corporation (USA) has participated in so far. In other films, no matter what role Deep Space Corporation (USA) appears in, as long as there is
With the participation of Deep Space Corporation (USA), the box office will not be low.
But at the same time, "I Lived for Tens of Thousand Years" is the film with the highest return rate for Deep Space Company. Its cost is only 10,000 US dollars, and the return rate is nearly 3,000 times.
Of course, this rate of return is still reasonable. After all, the reason why the movie has such a box office, in addition to the good story, is also related to two aspects: on the one hand, the quality of the shooting, and on the other hand, the actors.
Ten thousand US dollars, but using the best equipment and the most popular actors. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to get it back even if they had added three zeros.
Of course, the main reason why we can do this is that filming is simple. When filming "The Butterfly Effect", Doug Liman asked people to set up the scenery, and then took Matthew McConaughey and the others to complete it in one day.
The movie was shot, and the subsequent editing didn't take much time. After all, the plot is really simple.
Because of the "Shrek" incident, Spielberg was also in a good mood. He smiled and said: "YU, I want to have a drink with you tonight, please leave some for me."
Yu Dong laughed. Spielberg has also been in China for a long time and has been affected a lot in this regard. When he first came to China, he could only drink red wine slowly with a glass of red wine. Now he dares to compete with others for white wine.
.
"Steven, I should be the one to say this to you. Don't let others talk you down before I find you."
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
"Then I'll wait and see." Yu Dong smiled and looked at Doug Liman next to him, "Doug, after "The Butterfly Effect", do you have any other plans? Have you thought about the next movie?
?”
Doug Liman shook his head, "Not yet, because I haven't encountered a good script yet... Of course, I have encountered it before, but the original author was unwilling to film it for me."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Whose work is it? Do you want our company to come forward to help you be a lobbyist?"
Doug Liman bared his teeth and said with a smile, "What I like is "Golden Dreams"."
Yu Dong couldn't help curling his lips, "You guys still remember this."
At the beginning, Doug Liman was interested in "Golden Dream" and wanted to shoot it, but Du Dong gave "Golden Dream" to Zhang Yimou, and instead made "I Lived for Tens of Thousand Years" and "The Butterfly Effect".
It was given to Doug Liman, who was still somewhat reluctant at that time.
But Doug Liman probably won't have any objections now. After all, "I Lived for Ten Thousand Years" and "The Butterfly Effect" made him famous and wealthy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the mention of "Golden Dreamland" now, it is just a joke on Yu Dong.
"I've been looking for scripts recently, but I don't have a clue. Mainly because I don't know what genre to look for. Because I don't have a direction, it's more difficult to find them. There are many scripts sent to me every day, but basically
There isn’t a good one on the internet, and it’s only in the past few months that I’ve realized that there are so many rubbish scripts in the world.”
Yu Dong nodded, it was indeed difficult without direction.
But it doesn't matter. Since Doug Liman has no direction, give him one.
"I think there is a novel that is more suitable for you to write."
Doug Liman was surprised: "Really? Are you talking about your own novel? "Curse" or "Old Book"? As for "Old Book", I think I am more suitable. As for "Curse", although
It’s not my style, but I can give it a try.”
"Ahem, it's not my book, Doug, it's The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum."
"Oh My God!"
Doug Liman shouted, and he looked at Yu Dong with an incredible look, "YU, are you doing some research on me? How did you know that I like the book "The Bourne Identity" very much?
Book? To be honest, I did think about adapting "The Bourne Identity" before, and even went to find the copyright, but the copyright is in the hands of Roger Young, and he is unwilling to transfer it."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's no problem now, because we have bought the copyright of "The Bourne Identity"."
Spielberg on the side was puzzled, "Is your company very optimistic about this novel? But as far as I know, it has been adapted into a TV movie, but the ratings are not good, and it is not a critical success."
Yu Dong nodded and said, "This is the time to show off the director's talent. "The Bourne Identity" and "Mission: Impossible" are not the same type of movies. Compared with Ethan Hunt, Bourne seems more ordinary and has less action.
The special effects are definitely not that exaggerated. "The Bourne Identity" will definitely not continue the "007" or "Mission: Impossible" series, but will have its own style."
"But this style may not be flattering," Spielberg said.
Yu Dong nodded. Spielberg was right. In fact, "The Bourne Supremacy" was not as popular as "Mission: Impossible", and the box office gap between the two was quite large.
"Mission: Impossible" actually follows the same path as "007", with action, special effects, handsome men and beautiful women, these are the important elements that make it a hit at the box office.
But in "The Bourne Identity", Bourne is more like an ordinary agent. He has no extraordinary abilities or powerful weapons, which is closer to reality.
Doug Liman didn't care whether the movie could make money or not, he just said, "I'm willing to make it."
Yu Dong nodded, "Since you want to shoot, let's talk to Jimmy tomorrow and see how this plan starts."
To film "The Bourne Identity", Deep Space will definitely need to attract investment. They cannot invest too much money themselves, because they will need a lot of money in the next one or two years.
Moreover, "The Bourne Identity" itself is not the kind of movie that can make a lot of money, the cost is not low, and the risks are not small, so Deep Space might as well raise some investment, spread the risks, and make the movie.
What Yu Dong mainly values ​​​​is the reputation and influence of "The Bourne Supremacy". Although its box office is far less than that of "Mission: Impossible", its influence is no less than that of the latter.
The most important thing is that "The Bourne Supremacy" is a series.
No matter which company it is, they all attach great importance to series films. Currently, Deep Space Company only has one series called "Resident Evil". After "The Bourne Supremacy" is released, Deep Space Company will have another series that it can produce.
The year before last, Yu Dong asked Jimmy to check where the copyright of "Bourne's Identity" lies?
At that time, the copyright was in the hands of Roger Young. There were still two years left, so Jimmy didn't ask. Until the copyright in Roger Young's hands expired, Jimmy went directly to Ludlum and got it easily.
Downloaded the copyright for "The Bourne Identity".
Doug Liman did not consider investing or not investing at all. Firstly, he believed in the strength of deep space, and secondly, he had a very powerful father.
For the movie "The Bourne Identity", Deep Space didn't even need to show up. It just threw the novel to Doug Liman, and he was able to solve everything by himself, including the investors.
Seeing Doug Liman's appearance, Yu Dong also laughed. It's good to have a good father. Doug Liman doesn't have to worry too much about funding when making movies.
Doug Liman rubbed his hands excitedly, and then looked around again. Yu Dong asked him: "What are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Jimmy." Doug Liman responded while looking around, and suddenly said in surprise: "I saw Jimmy, YU, I'm going to tell him about this now."
"No need..."
Yu Dong just wanted to stop Doug Liman, but he was already running towards Jimmy excitedly. Yu Dong grabbed the air and said: "There's no need to be in such a hurry."
Spielberg smiled and said: "Doug is still very young after all, so he is very impatient. Of course, this is also your fault. You should not have told him about this matter today."
Yu Dong shrugged, "Steven, actually, I'm a few years younger than Doug."
"When you start to emphasize this point, you should think about the reason." Spielberg smiled, and then said: "There is something I want to tell you, which is related to "The Martian"...
…”
As Spielberg was talking, Motorola representative Colvin came over with a smile, "YU, Steven, you are all here, I won't disturb you."
"No, I was just talking to YU about some movies." Steven smiled, "Motorola has been getting better and better in the past two years, and the new models are also very easy to use."
Colvin said with a smile: "The key is that "Second World" left us with too many things at that time, and they have not been used up until today. This time I came over, and the superiors even assigned me a task.
I must learn more knowledge from YU and go back."
This is half true and half false. Before Colvin came to China, his superiors did not give him such an explanation at all, but Motorola now really wants to get some updated designs from Yu Dong.
When he was designing props for "Second World", Yu Dong left a lot of things for Motorola, which he has not used up yet, and looks like they will last for several years.
But for large companies like Motorola, a few years is only a short period of time for them, and they need to consider the company's development in a few years.
The great success of the market in the past few years has completely proved that Yu Dong's mobile phone appearance and system operation designs are very useful, and Yu Dong's predictions on the development of the mobile phone industry are also very accurate.
Under such circumstances, Motorola will certainly not give up the opportunity to continue cooperation with Yudong.
The last time they collaborated with Deep Space to release the Little Player figurine, they mentioned this matter, but Jimmy didn't give any response at that time, so this time Colvin came over and mentioned it very tactfully.
Yu Dong smiled and waved his hands: "The key to the appearance and operation of a mobile phone is that the quality of the mobile phone is good."
