Chapter 177, Alien's Sequel Potential
When Alice came back, Frey was the first to come forward and asked curiously: "What have you said to the people of Fox?"
Hannah followed her up and blinked her big eyes and said, "Are you going to make a movie with Fox? Are you going to adapt the bloody fairy tale into a movie? Or Jurassic Park?"
Spielberg has been paying attention to Alice and their talks. He had long seen Lex's surprised expression on his face. He then thought: "It must not be Jurassic Park, right? Using current technology to make dinosaur models, it is probably not much stronger than King Kong in the 1930s. This is still different from the steel ships of Star Wars."
“Neither, neither.”
Seeing that Sissi and Cameron were also about to talk, Alice shook her head and smiled: "I just asked Uncle Roger to get all the copyrights of the alien."
"What!?"
When everyone heard Alice's light words, they were stunned for a moment, and only Frey responded: "Copyright of the alien? Alice, why are you going to buy that kind of thing?"
"What are you doing to shoot sequels and produce peripherals?"
Alice was also a little confused by everyone's surprise expression. You know, this is an alien, a classic science fiction horror movie, a classic work by the famous director Ridley Scott. Is there any special reason to shoot its sequel?
You know, although this 1979 movie is limited due to its era and seems to have many unsatisfactory aspects in the later period, it is just a simple science fiction set. Just in terms of the horror atmosphere in a closed environment, it is extremely outstanding even in the 21st century!
Or from another perspective, just looking at Ridley Scott's personal portfolio, you can feel the great work of Alien. Following Alien, as of Alice's memory, he has filmed more than twenty movies, including the most famous ones, Blade Runner, The End Flower, Hannibal, Black Hawk Down, Prometheus, and Mars Rescue, which one is not a classic?
And the density is so high
"Alice, of course we know that your main purpose is to shoot a sequel, but the problem is not that simple."
Mr. Swan shook his head gently and said, "Alien is classic. Yes, I admit it is a very classic movie. But because of its classic and excellent, it is easy to ruin it by shooting sequels casually. You just need to look at the entire Hollywood history. We have hardly ever made sequels for the movie. This kind of thing will make a big profit if you do it well, but if you make it, you will be scolded by the audience to death."
Swan said earnestly. Alice saw that Frey had a few expressions of recognition. However, a trace of disdain flashed between Cameron's eyebrows. It flashed away, but Alice caught it very clearly.
It seems that Hollywood in the 1980s was still very moral?
Alice was surprised to see Swan say this, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt relieved.
After all, it has not yet reached the era of information explosion, and the moral integrity of industry insiders is indeed relatively high. But when the timeline entered the 1990s, the world increased exponentially under the Internet and computers, and the ability of people to watch movies and pay increased in proportion. At that time, Hollywood was
You know, this is a place where money is essential, and those commercial films are
The cold rice from Menggui Street has been fried until the eighth part, and then the battle between Freddy and Jason has happened. What else is impossible?
"So, this is an upfront investment."
Alice smiled and said, "Mr. Swan, you can't deny that the alien is a classic, right? Life is still long, as long as the copyright is in hand, you can shoot the sequel any time you want, and other peripheral products can be developed at any time. This is all potential value."
This is true, but the risk of investment failure is enough to make most people retreat. Swan looked thoughtfully at a corner of the banquet hall, where Fox executives were whispering something with Lawrence, obviously very involved.
"Yes, I almost forgot that Lawrence was originally a venture capital agent."
"Yes, it's just another venture capital. In my opinion, Alien is the movie with the most potential for shooting sequels. After all, the stage given by Scott is too big. Who is right?"
Frey shook his lips gently and nodded slowly: "It's true, the dormant system of the space merchant ship, the biochemical artificial human with white blood flowing, the asteroid storing thousands of alien eggs, and the alien monster itself."
She looked at Alice with bright eyes, her expression full of admiration that could not be concealed: "Alice, your summary is so perfect. The small stage and a very huge stage. Thinking of this, Director Scott is indeed very talented. By the way, Dad, should we ask Scott to make another movie?"
The following sentence was the father and daughter chatting themselves. Seeing that the two of them in the small team were separated, Spielberg said, "Then Alice, you and Miss Lawrence continue to play with you, I'll leave first."
When others walked away, Sissi took Alice's arm.
"Yo, what's wrong? This is?"
Alice was a little surprised to feel that Sissi's arms were more forceful.
"I hate that Frey, let's go away."
Sissi glanced at the girl as dazzling as a flame rose in dissatisfaction, took Alice's hand and walked to the distance: "Hannah, do you want to drink something with us? There will be free juice for the banquet."
Hanna shook her head: "I went to Oscar. He just went to the bathroom and hasn't come back yet."
Alice laughed: "That kid won't fall into the pit, right?"
Hannah left now, and Spielberg disappeared. Mr. Lawrence was talking to Fox executives as he got better, and it was not easy for others to insert it. The banquet hall was still full of singing and dancing, and the guests were filled with sings and laughter. The band invited to perform live still sings on the stage, attracting applause from the audience from time to time.
Alice was confused: "I said Sissi, that Frey didn't seem to offend you, why are you pouting?"
Sissi almost forced her to the buffet area: "You are just talking to Mr. Swan, that Frey, I've been paying attention to the way she looks at you."
As she said that, Xixi shook fiercely: "She must be a lace, or she has the tendency to be a lace. That look, my god, so gentle that it can be so sweet!"
"Ahhhh Xixi, are you sure?"
Alice swallowed and even Sissi handed the dish to her, she subconsciously caught it: "You said that Frey has been looking at me very gently?"
Xixi glared at her eyes and shook her black hair like a waterfall: "Why, you bastard look very happy?"
Alice looked at Jiyou's face with laughter and cry: "How could I be happy? But Xixi, you look jealous now. Have you noticed it yourself?"
Xixi's eyes suddenly floated, and then she cut it hard: "I'm just jealous, can't it? You and that Frey don't know each other, why should she look at you with that weird look?"
Seeing Alice's expression becoming more and more strange, she paused and her eyes squirmed: "Okay, I admit that the way you talked about it just now is really cool. Ordinary little girls are easily fascinated. So, it's not surprising that Frey was suddenly fascinated by you, anyway, I'm just jealous!"
As he spoke, Xixi's face even turned red.
But Alice is not much better than her.
"Hmph"
After pausing for a moment, Alice took Xixi's arm even harder: "Of course you should be jealous, don't forget my dear, you are my girlfriend whom I have been pursuing for several days before I can get it. When other girls suddenly appeared beside me and looked at me with admiration, it is normal for you to be jealous, I can understand."
"Hey, when did I say I love you? Can you not be so shameless?"
"Didn't I say it? Shamelessness is a necessary condition for pursuing girls."
"That's a necessary condition for boys to chase girls, okay? I've said this, okay?"
The quarrel that should have continued, but this time, Alice took the initiative to remain silent.
Xixi blinked: "What's wrong?"
The silence lasted for only a moment, and Alice touched her chin: "What you said actually makes sense. It seems that I still have to adjust my mentality. It has been a day or two for you to be called a vulgar person. I am determined to be a goddess. If I continue to follow the current rhythm, I am afraid I will become a tomboy!"
Let us thank you for your profound English.
Although Sissi is French and English is just a foreign language to her, far less sophisticated than Alice’s native birth and growing up, she also clearly understood the meaning of the two special words.
"puff."
She burst into laughter: "Follow."
"Hey, I'm a person who is determined to be a goddess, call me a fool? Can you bear this consequence?"
"Hey, Alice, someone is coming to you."
"Don't change the subject!"
"Really, Cameron is here."
"Why?"
Alice looked at a corner of the banquet hall in surprise, and a white-haired man was walking towards him quickly through the layers of people.
And this scene also fell into the eyes of another person far away.
"What's wrong, Frey?"
Seeing his daughter suddenly dazed, Swan was a little curious: "What are you thinking?"
"Ah, it's okay, dad, just thinking about it."
It was originally a chuckling, but after Swan's eyes turned away, Frey sighed softly.
Then, she looked in Alice's direction again, but this time she didn't find anyone. To be continued.
