Chapter 309

A long time ago, Wu Cheng spent money to Shaw Brothers and Jiahe to buy copyrights and mastering of some old films.↗, they thought Wu Cheng had money and had nowhere to spend, because many of the films Wu Cheng bought were filmed in the past two years, and even if they wanted to remake it, it was impossible.

Although they can't figure out why, they are naturally very happy to think that these things that can only be placed in the film library can be sold for money now. They are not going to have extra wealth!

As for remakes, let alone remakes a movie, you have to wait for at least 10 or 20 years, otherwise, the remake is meaningless.

Therefore, they don't care whether they sell the copyright.

But later, because Shaw Brothers felt the threat from Donglong International, the cooperation was naturally interrupted. Now that the videotape has appeared, even if the price is not cheap, I believe that the two old men, Daheng Shao and Boss Zou, will definitely see the business opportunities.

Therefore, Wu Cheng thought so!

Who would have thought of such foresight if it were not for the rebirth?

Even researchers who develop cameras may find it difficult to think whether this thing will really become popular in the future if it is developed!

In fact, this thing was developed a few years ago, but it was simply not popular in the market. First, it was cost, and second, it was not comprehensive enough in the technology.

Even now, its cost is not cheap, and the technology is also flawed.

But now, it is much better than before. At least some wealthy families can afford it and are willing to buy it.

I believe that in another year or two, those middle-class people will be able to afford it.

As this thing develops, underground video halls will gradually become popular. It is also because of this that pirated video tapes will gradually become popular.

Although this thing is a way to generate income for the film company itself, it will have some impact on the box office of the film.

However, with the development of technology, the thing "pirated" will definitely appear one after another. Otherwise, the world will not keep clamoring to crack down on piracy.

Not only in Xiangjiang, but even in Hollywood, Wu Cheng also asked DreamWorks to pay attention to some classic old films. But it is a pity that Wu Cheng does not know much about Hollywood films and can provide relatively few opinions.

However, Wu Cheng asked them to acquire the copyright and mastering of films like Hepburn's "Roman Holiday" and "King Kong".

Especially "King Kong", because this drama can be completely remade in the future.

Of course, this drama was remade last year, but unfortunately the response was mediocre, and investors were as disgusting as if they had eaten a piece of Xiang. And because of this, when DreamWorks proposed to acquire the copyright, they agreed directly without hesitation. Of course, the cost is actually not small.

Moreover, when he first thought of this drama, Wu Cheng also thought of the fat director Peter Jackson in later generations, and then naturally thought of the movie "The Lord of the Rings".

Then Wu Cheng naturally sent someone to take down the copyright of the movie adaptation of this novel.

If it weren't for the book "Harry Potter" that had not been available during this period, Wu Cheng wouldn't mind taking down the adaptation rights of this novel. Of course, Wu Cheng had never seen this novel, he had only watched the movie.

He was hesitating whether to write this novel.

Of course, I haven't read the original work, so I can only write according to the plot of the movie.

As for the original author Ms. Celine, Wu Cheng can only say sorry. Maybe if you have the chance to meet her in the future, please provide her with a job!

Of course, maybe someone has the ability to write another masterpiece? After all, they also have the ability to write. Who can explain the circumstances of life clearly?

"Hey, where are you going to stretch your hand!"

While Wu Cheng was thinking about these things, he suddenly felt a Five Finger Mountain attacking, and his little brother was directly imprisoned, and he couldn't help but stare at him.

Wu Chengyi said that the Five Finger Mountain flew away like thunder, but her eyes were staring there incredible lightning, then flew on her cheeks, and stuttered: "Brother Cheng, it's so magical!"

"You're amazing!" Wu Cheng gave her a blank look and said, "It's so deadly!"

"I'll help you!" she suddenly said seriously, although she was still embarrassed.

"How to help?" Wu Cheng glared at her angrily.

"Use this!" She raised her hands, "I've seen it in that movie!"

“…”

Wu Cheng grinned his teeth and snorted: "Let's go back and confiscate it. How can you see such an unhealthy thing? You are good kids and pure jade girls in the eyes of the audience! I will keep this kind of thing for you in the future! Wait until you are eighteen years old!"

“…”

...

When Wu Chengshen came out with a refreshed breath, the coughing sound of the fairy shut out came from the bathroom, as if something was choking. When Wu Cheng saw it, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead: he still couldn't escape the little fairy's demonic hand!

"What are you looking at?"

When he was wearing a black suspender silk skirt and rubbing his wet hair down from the upper floor, he saw Wu Cheng sitting leisurely on the sofa reading the newspaper with his legs crossed his head, and asked.

Wu Cheng glanced at her, waved at him, and said, "Look at some reports about "The Seven Deadly Sins"... Xiao Min, give me the hair dryer!"

"Oh!" Zhou Xiaomin, who was sitting in front of the piano and boredly "playing the piano randomly", ran to find a hair dryer.

"Didn't this movie be painted two days ago?" Zhao Yazhi asked.

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "Although the paintings are drawn, there are still many related reports. The box office in North America is good, with more than 50 million. The key is that the evaluation is good. I believe that the box office overseas will not be bad."

Wu Cheng said while putting down the newspaper, took the hair dryer found by Zhou Xiaomin, and asked Zhao Yazhi to sit beside him and blew her hair with the hair dryer.

These reports were reported by the Metropolitan Entertainment Newspaper. Now, the Metropolitan Entertainment Newspaper has a special reporter sitting in Hollywood, specifically sending back the news about DreamWorks.

Therefore, many filmmakers are increasingly fond of urban entertainment newspapers, and many people who want to find some Hollywood movie news will also read this newspaper. Originally, it was to create momentum for Wu Cheng, but in the end, the sales of newspapers increased.

As for the original "Seven Deadly Sins" box office in North America, it seems that the box office is more than 100 million, and now it is half less, which is obviously normal. In terms of the number of viewers, it is actually more now.

As for the situation in "The Little Imperial", Wu Cheng also expressed his lack of understanding.

In addition, "The Sixth Sense" is about to be released because Halloween is coming soon.

"But because of the high box office of the company's first few movies, some people couldn't help laughing!" Wu Cheng couldn't help but chuckled with a hint of disdain, "They don't think about how much the investment in "The Seven Deadly Sins" is. The investment of five million and the box office of more than 50 million is directly a tenfold return!"

Lying on Wu Cheng's lap, listening to Wu Cheng's complaints, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but smile and said, "But you have to know that the previous 'Star Wars' was a return rate of dozens of times!"

"That's true! But this is just a superficial phenomenon. You can't be so stupid, right!"

Wu Cheng said, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, how is the progress of the project in the cinema? Has the first phase of the project been completed?"

"The main office building of the cinema has begun to be renovated and it is estimated that it can be delivered for use at the beginning of next year. However, the building on the set needs to be built while filming. Sometimes, if there are urgent needs, it must be built first..." Zhao Yazhi closed her eyes and followed the progress of the project with Wu Chengjiao, and finally said: "How did you think of designing such a building? The square building below is actually a larger circle above. Does it mean the sky and the earth?"

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "It's interesting to have this aspect! However, I want to build a tarmac on it, which can be lifted by helicopters. You can install it after you have nothing to do!"

“…”

Seeing Zhao Yazhi speechless, Wu Cheng laughed and said, "Okay, that's a joke. But I do have this idea. You knew it when I designed it before."

The main building is thirty-three floors high, which means thirty-three levels of heaven. The twenty-seven floors below are gradually shrinking ladder-shaped buildings, while the six floors above are inverted ladder-shaped cylinders, gradually increasing.

In other words, the upper floor has the largest building area and the load bearing of the rooftop can be used for helicopter lifting. As for how to solve the stress problem, it is an expert's problem.

Dingdong

As he was talking, the doorbell outside the door rang, sat next to the piano, Zhou Xiaomin, who was watching Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi show their love, jumped up and ran to open the door.

Because the door of the villa is an electronic automatic door, just press it lightly.

"Xiao Min, please help me open the door!"

Outside the villa gate, Leslie Cheung drove a car and appeared with his fiancée Wu Shulan.

"It's Brother Shizai and Sister Lanlan!" When Zhou Xiaomin saw Wu Shulan, his eyes turned into crescent moons and said with a smile: "Sister Lanlan is here to urge Brother Cheng to write a book again!"

Wu Shulan got out of the car, took Zhou Xiaomin's hand, and smiled and said, "It's still Xiaomin who understands me!"

"Hehe, Brother Cheng is blowing his hair to Sister Zhi! Come in with me!"

Seeing Zhou Xiaomin bringing Wu Shulan and Leslie Cheung in, Wu Chengze glared at Zhou Xiaomin and said, "Don't open the door casually in the future. What if you meet a bad person?"

"Uncle, you're enough! I've been urging myself to film before. After writing "Legend of the Little Soldier", I'll leave my hands and ignore it. Then I admit it. Now I'm still saying that we are 'bad guys'."

"Tsk, what are you doing? I'm educating the children! Young Master Rong, take care of your wife!"

Zhou Xiaomin curled her lips and said, "I'm not a child!"
Chapter completed!
