At the end of the meeting that day, George did not give a clear answer, but took the scripts of the wizard of magic and Alice in Wonderland, and then there was no news.
Mai Xiaoyu is not in a hurry. The American film industry is different from China. The Chinese side is director centered, while the American side is producer centered.
The emergence of Debbie, a famous Hollywood producer, has shown that Disney film company attaches importance to scripts, which is also in line with the mainstream of American film. The producer gets the good script first, and then contacts the upstream and downstream to prepare the film.
The final key to how to pave the way lies in the script. Disney needs time to consider.
To put it mildly, if Mai Xiaoyu has a good screenplay, he won''t worry about cooperating with Hollywood film companies. Like deadly ID a few years ago, fox has bought the right to adapt.
However, unlike Alice in Wonderland, the former can choose between Disney and Warner Brothers, and the latter can only cooperate with Disney.
The foreshadowing in front actually shows the attitude and attitude of Hualong film and Mengren film and television. When the two sides cooperate in depth and negotiate specific details in the future, Disney dare not pinch them as soft persimmons.
This is not groundless. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the cooperation with Hollywood film companies, it fully shows the traditional "Virtue" of modesty and tolerance of the Chinese people.
In addition to the entertainment industry, many industries and even officials have this problem, spoiling the special old Americans!
Disney''s reply takes time. During this period, Mai Xiaoyu will not wait foolishly, but put the matter aside, and then happily pay attention to the preparations for twilight.
At the end of August, Hualong film announced that it would buy the copyright of Twilight 1 Twilight at a high price of US $5 million, prepare to adapt it into a film, and plan to invest US $40 million, which immediately attracted great attention in the United States.
Since the publication of twilight in the United States, it has been translated into the languages of many countries for publication and distribution in recent years, which has been sought after by readers and accumulated a large number of fans.
The author wheat neither accepts the reporter to interview, nor holds the signing meeting. He is also an agent to contact the publishing house, and puts on a mysterious coat for him, which makes people more curious.
Although the publisher said that wheat is male, according to the use of words and emotional descriptions in the book, some fans have always believed that the real author is a woman.
He?
Or her?
It has also become a hot topic for fans to discuss.
As the earliest published twilight, twilight is very famous, has many fans and a large readership. American film companies have long wanted to buy film adaptation rights, but they have been unable to contact wheat.
At first, the six companies were able to accept Comrade Luo''s proposal, mainly because of the value of the Twilight series.
How high is the value?
Look at the public reaction after the news was released.
Hualong film, which has been established for about two years, has instantly become a well-known film company in the United States. It doesn''t mean how famous Hualong is, but only that there are many people who know this company. Because they bought the copyright of Twilight twilight.
Within two days, the fans found out the background of Hualong film industry - a film company established by Chinese people in the United States. It used to be engaged in Chinese film distribution and had no experience in making films.
In other words, "Twilight" is the first film produced by Hualong film after its establishment in the United States.
Many fans are worried about the destruction of the original work and protest in different ways.
Some fans expressed their concerns on Facebook and twitter; Some fans questioned why American film companies did not buy copyright; Some fans gathered on the community website to warn Hualong film to shoot carefully; There are a small number of radical fans who have hacked the official website of Hualong film
Many media in the United States have reported on this, with more criticism than praise.
In particular, many American producers, screenwriters and directors have stated that the price of $5 million is outrageous, and there is an ironic voice in public opinion - Chinese people are too rich!
Hualong film doesn''t care at all, but is happy to hype so much.
The film industry in the United States is developed, and there are many great and low. Hualong film wants to make its name in many well-known film companies, regardless of whether it is positive or negative speculation, it is an excellent opportunity.
Although the American entertainment circle generally believes that Hualong film''s bid is too high, when Hualong film finalized the producer and began to select directors and actors, many well-known directors, brokerage companies, young actors and little stars are eager to try.
Advertisers took action early to discuss sponsorship with Hualong film.
Although the fans are dissatisfied with Hualong''s lack of experience and are still a company run by Chinese people, the rice has been cooked, and they can''t change it. They have to ask Hualong to publicly select roles, and they take the initiative to help Hualong check.
Now, the producer team and director team of twilight have been finalized. They are all experienced Hollywood filmmakers with successful experience.
Director Catherine Hardwick, female, directed the film the birth of Jesus two years ago. Like this man from the earth, the birth of Jesus has also caused great controversy in the United States, but the producer of the former is Huaxia film company, which is more controversial.
After the completion of the script creation and the finalization of the producer team and director team, the most important thing in the film preparation work is to select the actors for the audition.
The candidates for "Edward Cullen" and "Isabella Swan" in twilight have attracted much attention. Not only fans, but also European and American actors.
The heroine "Isabella" is starred by Kristen Stewart, which has long been decided by Mai Xiaoyu. Just as he appointed sissy to star in Alice in Wonderland and the wizard of Wonderland.
However, the crew did not announce the decision, indicating that the two protagonists are still in the audition.
This means of publicity is not exclusive to Huaxia, but international.
So far, there have been nearly a thousand "Edward" actors auditioning, including newcomers, young actors from child stars, young stars with little fame, and young actors from the actors'' Union.
Audition, that''s what it should be.
When the show team says that a young actor is more in line with the role of "Edward", a large number of fans will always jump out and criticize the actor, believing that it does not meet the "Edward" in their hearts.
The preparation of the film "Twilight" received more attention than expected, and the seven shareholders were happy to hear about it.
Otherwise, after Mai Xiaoyu boldly put forward the idea of cooperation with Disney at the temporary remote video conference in the East China Sea, which companies will agree so easily and cooperate fully?
The competition for the heroine "Isabella" was not so big, but more than 300 actresses participated in the audition, which made Kristen Stewart and her agent Martin uneasy.
Yes, the crew has made it clear that Christine plays the female number one "Isabella" in the film, but the contract has not been signed yet!
This audition for the heroine every day. What if something happens?
You know, Hollywood is the originator of the hidden rules in the entertainment industry. It''s too common to change women''s owners!
At noon, Martin brought good news.
"Christine, the crew will have a party tomorrow night. You look better..."
