Chapter 301 The conditions are too high to be satisfied (1/6)

"Don't be too anxious about "Luxing 2". "Zhang Junsheng took out two Yellow Crane Towers from his pocket, handed one to Wen Ziren, and said in the surprise look of the latter: "We will reserve one to two years first so that the movie can attract more people in the disc and rental markets, and then create a sequel."

“…Is this marijuana?”

"You're thinking too much, this is a cigarette, Chinese cigarette!"

Ignite, took a sip, looked at the script of "Summoning the Soul", and the script started with: "Adapted from the real story..."

“…Is this true?”

"Of course, "Summoning: The Warrens' Quarre Profession" written by Gerald Blittel"

“The true story…”

In fact, the origin of "The Conjuring" is much simpler than everyone imagines, just a small producer takes all kinds of luck with the original work...

In fact, "The Conjuring" is very in line with the American demand for horror films. "The Haunted House", "The Innocence" and "The Exorcist" are all of this type.

"Soul Conjuring" tells the story of a pair of exorcists...

A young producer from Texas, Tony DeRosa-Gurund, received a tape of Andrea Peren interviewing Warren's family.

At that time, the Warren family bought a house, and when they bought it, they didn't know it was haunted.

Tony Derosa Gulund ripped all the audio tapes provided by Andrea Peren, hoping to bring the story to the screen and adapt the script.

However, in Hollywood, it is too common for a good story or even a good script to be appreciated, so Tony Derosa Gulund's plan has been repeatedly delayed.

For nearly two decades, Tony Derosa Gulund has been looking for opportunities to put the film on the screen, but all of them have returned in vain.

During this period, the script fell into the hands of Xinyi Film, but it turned out to be moldy in Xinyi Film's script library. Until early last year, at a exchange meeting between a horror film workers, Tony Derosa Gulund met Wan Ziren...

The latter likes such horror types very much.

Of course, the script has been modified to a certain extent. I originally wanted to find my old partner Ray Warner to do the script for "The Conjuring", who was busy preparing for "Luxing 2"...

So I found several professional screenwriters and had been working hard for several months before I could build the framework of "Summoning"...

"According to your words, "The Conjuring", "Annabelle", "The Sisters", and "The Hunchbacked Man" will appear slowly..."

After reading the script of "The Conjuring", Zhang Junsheng suddenly asked: "…Do you know Stephen King's "The Joker"?"

"Stephen King?"

"right!"

Wen Ziren took a deep breath as Zhang Junsheng, couldn't help coughing a few times, and then asked, "...You are talking about "The Joker's Return"!"

"Yes, "The Joker's Return"..."

"That copyright should be in the hands of the new line... Most of Stephen King's horror films are in the hands of the new line. In those years, "The Lord of the Rings" was sold well, and a large number of copyrights were bought on the new line..."

“…”

This horse-treading...

"Is it possible to get it? Let's create another 'Stephen King Horror Universe'?"

"It should be possible, Stephen King adapted not many movies sold well," said Wan Ziren, paused, and frowned: "But I don't have that much energy..."

"Then let's dig a few people who are good at directing horror movies. Don't you often attend exchange meetings? Tell them, come to the top, we have money and are not afraid of losses!"

“OK!”

Wen Ziren nodded.

Don’t underestimate Wan Ziren, this guy is the leader of the famous Hollywood horror film organization "The Clara Gang"!

"The Crazy Bang" is a group of organizations that love to shoot horror films in their minds for less than ten million dollars. The famous directors of this organization include Wan Ziren, Eli Rose ("Human Skin Inn"), Ray Werner ("Land" screenwriter), Darren Lynn Bousman ("Saw 2"), Nell Marshall ("Dark Invasion"), Alexander Aga ("Eyes from the Mountain"), Eli Rose ("The Bones"), Anders Muschetti ("Mom")…

They are all the people who spend small money to do big things...

Robert Rodriguez wanted to get a vote in the organization, but was told by everyone that the cost of filming was too high and that it was cool to go...

"Didn't you be at the Lion Gate before? There should be a lot of horror movies in it..."

"Rob Freeman seems to have contacted Sally Redstone, why don't we go and have a look?"

"Walk!"

Sally Redstone is the head of CBS TV station under Viacom. CBS belongs to the six major public stations in the United States. It has a very obvious style and is known as the "old man station". The programs they play are more conservative. All of them are criminal dramas, such as "Naval Crime Investigation Office", "Criminal Psychology", "Basic Deduction Method", "Suspect Tracking"...

In addition to crime dramas, there is also a major feature of sitcoms, and its representative works include "Two and Half-Men" and "Romantic History of Mom and Mom"...

"Two and Half Man" has been in trouble because of the problem of starring Charlie Sheen, so he simply fired him this year...

The specific reason is because of Charlie Xin’s moral loss: domestic violence, sexual addiction, drug use…

Of course, the most direct reason is that Charlie Sheen directly insulted the boss...

...

"StarZ belongs to the cable channel, and has popular dramas such as "Shrine Spring and Autumn", "Crash", "Wind City Boss", "Invasion"..."

"What does Viacom say?"

Zhang Junsheng interrupted Robert Freeman's report and directly asked about the results.

"…They agreed to acquire Lions Gate together, but there is a condition..."

"Conditions? What conditions?"

Robert Freman looked embarrassed, but told the truth: "They want to invest and burn it after reading..."

"…Stock? Of course!"

Why did Zhang Junsheng agree to the Sequoia Capital, Comcast, and Morgan Consortium burn after buying shares? Of course, it was to protect himself. He is a Chinese, doing business in the United States, finding a few local snakes to affiliate with him, and the dividends are protection fees...

Viacom is the third largest media group in North America, and it is still beneficial for them to invest.

At least Tsubasa has the opportunity to intervene in the Paramount project...

"They want 30% of their shares!"

“…Water?”

Thirty percent? Why don’t you die?

The person in charge of Yuehoujiufa, who was sitting next to him, said: "The streaming media business has been considered by Wall Street as a new direction for media development, and Yuehoujiufa's market value is growing..."

"The shares in my hands will definitely be diluted. It would be good to keep 30% of them in the end, but you can't take 30% at one time, which is no different from robbery!"

"Viacom wants to buy it and burn it after reading..."
Chapter completed!
