Chapter 358 Both project approval

The DreamWorks Headquarters Conference Room the next day.

With Zhao Jisen and Zhang Lantian as the leader, there are special effects companies Gu Gaoyi, Ji Fei and Zhu Chengzhi below.

DreamWorks Promotion and Production Department Fu Qiang and Liu Kai, Artist Department Experience Wu Juan, Tsing Ceo Department Robert, as well as a researcher, Finance Department, Law Department and other departments.

Many people come not to participate in the resolution, but to hold routine meetings.

Wang Meng has absolute dominance, nothing more than saying that these people have done it.

"I'm here, I'll just say it briefly." Wang Meng said after getting prompted by his assistant Lu Jieshu.

"I guess everyone knew about it yesterday, but I didn't expect that such a good thing would fall on us. It seems that the country attaches great importance to the animation industry." Wang Meng said with a smile.

Wang Meng didn't want to make the memories very serious, so he decided to set the melody, which is a good discussion memory, not a serious decision memory.

"I didn't expect that when we were on the news broadcast, Old Zhu would be successful." Zhao Jisen smiled, and after saying that, he teased Zhu Chengzhi.

"Lucky." Zhu Chengzhi was very happy, but said, "But, they are not stupid. Look, the whole news is nothing, I'm talking about what happened to Director Wang? CCTV also knows who is important, so I'll make a fuss, haha..."

Zhu Chengzhi's mentality is obviously much better than Liu Zhiyuan's mentality at the time, and he knows the positioning clearly.

Moreover, Wang Meng has revealed to him the plan for "Kung Fu Panda". Now he has focused on "Kung Fu Panda", so he will still care about this.

"I just talked, "You are the best at the production of the first live production by Zhu Chengzhi." Wang Meng said to Zhu Chengzhi.

He said again: "Okay, today I have two things to say, Xiao Lu will send the information."

Wang Meng said to Lu Jieshu that the prepared "Kung Fu Panda" plan was given to everyone.

Everyone didn't ask much, and they looked at the information.

But I was frightened by watching it. US$70 million, 3D cartoons, released worldwide, and are expected to be produced for one and a half years. "Kung Fu Panda"...

These numbers and vocabulary sentences obviously shocked everyone.

No one knows how to speak.

But Robert, who was attending such a top-level meeting for the first time, was very excited. This was the top-level meeting of the headquarters, and he participated in it as a symbol of his identity.

And I was very excited to see such a plan.

"Boss, I have to say that your plan is too big and hard to imagine?" said Robert.

"Yeah, that's it."

"Good guy, $70 million, cartoon!"

"More than 500 million yuan, what kind of investment is this?"

Many people at DreamWorks are obviously difficult to understand.

"How are you going to see?" Wang Meng was frightened when she knew these guys.

If Wang Meng spent $70 million on filming a movie, they could barely understand and accept it, but the $70 million a cartoon is obviously too outrageous, although it is in the 3D version.

"This, Director Wang, please tell me about your plan?" Zhao Jisen, as the first person to Wang Mengyi, saw that everyone dared not speak casually. As the nominal president, he had to make a statement.

"Okay, let me tell you, this 3D animation will use the top three-dimensional special effects technology at present. It is an innovation of our company and is also a key step in promoting the animation movie to the world..."

Wang Meng said it based on his own understanding. In short, many professional words don’t quite understand, but only know that they are very awesome.

"I expect that if it meets expectations, the world will receive a box office of more than 700 million US dollars. Everyone can see clearly that this is the core of China and the shell of the West. Simply put, it is universally used in the world..."

Wang Meng said it, and they were obviously a little confused.

I didn’t hear anything else clearly, but I heard Wang Meng clearly that the global box office is expected to be more than 700 million US dollars.

"Director Wang, you said 700 million... US dollars, this..." Zhang Lantian was shocked.

"If I meet my expectations, it will be more or less."

The previous life of "Kung Fu Panda" was produced by DreamWorks. The early stage was the creativity of Blue Sky Animation, but DreamWorks acquired Blue Sky Animation Studio. The original global box office reached 63.1 billion US dollars, and triggered a trend.

After the movie appeared, it quickly became popular all over the world. The original Space-Time Dream Factory made a big profit, and the surrounding development brought rich returns. Not to mention the success of the first part, it laid a solid foundation for the subsequent series.

The subsequent "Kung Fu Panda 2" had a global box office of 6.7 billion US dollars, and the third part reached nearly 1 billion US dollars worldwide.

This time, Wang Meng is confident that through publicity and popularity, plus domestic and Asian popularity, the first part will reach more than 700 million US dollars.

"Then...then...then what else to say, just shoot." Fu Qiang, the production department of DreamWorks, was very straightforward. He was a solid supporter of Wang Meng and trusted Wang Meng too much.

"That's right, so many box office shots." Wang Meng's cousin Zhou Hui was the same.

On the contrary, Zhang Lantian and Zhao Jisen looked at each other and smiled bitterly, as if Wang Meng had made a decision after she said that she expected the box office.

"Even if it is $500 million, we can currently get a 45% share in China and the United States and a 30% share in Europe and Asia, which is equivalent to a 40% share. This is $200 million in revenue, minus the cost 70 million, and there is still 1.3 billion. The surrounding area is not counted, I think it's a film." There is a supporter Liu Kai.

"Since Boss has such determination, he has also taken out investigations and expected box offices. In addition, the company does not lack funds, I think it is necessary to shoot, but I should be more cautious. The top "Twilight" is also going to film, and these two have invested nearly $100 million... So?" Rob was a little worried.

"I think what Robert said is right, but don't forget that we still have a few works to recover, and I believe Director Wang's vision." Zhang Lantian thought for a while and said.

"Yes." Zhao Jisen.

Wang Meng was relieved to see this. He didn't want the company to be a one-man show. This is not a healthy way of development.

But I don’t want others to disagree with my plan, and I’m a typical person who is idle. Now that Zhang Lantian and Zhao Jisen agree, there is no problem. The opinions of these two people are very important.

"That's good. Try to establish a project as early as possible. Director Zhu is still a director this time, so I will also be a director and producer. In addition, Director Zhu and Manager Gu will discuss with Robert and contact Hollywood animation companies. It will be difficult for us to complete the production in two years."

"Okay, I will discuss with Mr. Robert later." Zhu Chengzhi replied.

"Rob, after you know the United States, find a few powerful animation companies and try to lead the way to reach the plan. Is it okay?" Wang Meng asked Robert.

"Boss, there is no problem at all. There are too many American animation companies going bankrupt now. I think after the news is announced, it is not me who will come to them, but they will come to me." Robert shrugged and said.

"That's good. It's best to cooperate and find some skilled personnel by the way. If you can, you can win over them. If you can, you can dig them. We need such talents, and the salary is easy to say."

"Boss, this is even more OK, it's covered by me." Robert.

Wang Meng nodded. As Robert said, there are too many American animation talents, and there are also people who can't make it easy to eat and drink. Finding some skilled people to attract China is already easy to train their own technical talents.

Originally, Wang Meng wanted to start a special effects company in the United States, but she felt it was unnecessary. As long as the dream was realized and it could also drive the country's special effects technology and talents, which is a bit selfish.

"Then talk about the next plan, um!" Wang Meng didn't know what to say, and looked very disgusting.

Everyone didn't understand why Wang Meng was so embarrassed. Why was it a little uncomfortable?

"That's right, I've almost finished my plan for my new work next year." Wang Meng said.

"Okay, what is Director Wang's work? Let's see it." Zhang Lantian said.

"Yes, what is Director Wang's masterpiece?"

"Director Wang..."

Seeing the enthusiastic everyone, Wang Meng was a little depressed and thought to herself, I don’t know that my works also cost money, but it still costs a lot of them.

"It's like this. I have an idea, a science fiction idea, and the plan is very large. Just like the "Kung Fu Panda" just now, as long as the first part is done, it will be a series." Wang Meng said.

"Science fiction theme? What's it like?" Zhao Jisen.

Wang Meng said: "Philosophy, theology, and atheism are all strongly expressed. There are many contents involving Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity, and they also contain the concepts of enlightenment, nirvana, and rebirth. The depth of Hinduism and Buddhism involves including free will to fight fate. It is a long-conceived plot, hard science fiction theme, action as an auxiliary, and exploration and extension topics. A subversive work, an extension of human cognition and all things in the world."

"So awesome?"

"Wow!"

After Wang Meng said this, everyone felt incredible. It seemed that Wang Meng's works have always been pioneering, but this time it seemed very cautious.

"I've also made a lot of works, but this time this is very important. I'm proud to say that as long as you meet expectations, it's no less than Star Wars and Harry Potter."

"Then? Wang Dao, what do you need us to do?" Zhao Jisen said.

"Hey!" Wang Meng sighed. Everyone believed him very much. It seemed that he was thinking too much. He said: "It requires everyone's support. This will be a co-production between DreamWorks and Tsuna. The actors cooperated with China and the United States. I will be the first starring actor. In addition, the special effects are very useful, and the investment is expected to be 50-70 million US dollars. It depends on the publicity efforts and the issues in the shooting."

After saying that, no one said anything.

"Let everyone see the script." Wang Meng said to Lu Jie.

Lu Jieshu had already prepared and posted the script again.

Until nearly half an hour of silence.

With a "bang!", Zhang Lantian slapped the table and said, "Slap, be sure to shoot. Director Wang's script is simply incredible, it is simply subversive, and it is many times more magical than "Butterfly Effect"."

"I support shooting, this is amazing, it's amazing."

"Oh, God, it's so wonderful. With this setting, are you a god?"

...

There was almost no obstacle this time, which was different than Wang Meng expected. It was obviously the script and the settings in it that conquered everyone.

And Wang Meng is the starring actor, which is also reassuring.

In fact, Wang Meng was afraid that he would not be sure and had to go on the stage by himself. As for the leading actor, he replaced Keanu Reeves.

Lawrence Fishburne's famous black movie star kept him in order to maintain his original appearance.

As for the original heroine of Kelly Ann Moss, Wang Meng decided to change to Scarlett Johnson. I remember that Scarlett performed very well in "Black Widow" in his previous life and was able to act in action scenes.

Add Scarlett himself, Lawrence Fishburne, and find some Chinese and Hollywood actors to support roles. Such a cast is definitely strong.

Moreover, the bullet time created in the previous life will make the Dream Special Effects go to public relations. The previous version was 1999, and now it is 2008. Such a technology is very simple.

As for the martial arts guide, please look for Yuan Heping. The action created by Yuan Heping in the previous version made "The Matrix" a classic, and this time it was the same.

Moreover, Wang Meng decided to shoot 3D. Although it is not an IMAX giant screen configuration, 3D is currently the top shooting technology.
