Chapter 640 Cooperation
The Ling Xiao Pavilion is really not short of money, so it has been making constant moves recently, acquiring several scattered small theaters, and at the same time continuously investing in many film and television works.

The purpose is to increase its influence, otherwise, it is obviously not enough for a company to rely on Lin Xiao alone.

"Hua Guo Partner" and "33 Days of Broken Love" also announced the approval of projects.

The former Nan Ke took over. Although Nan Ke failed in commercial films, Nan Ke's ability is beyond doubt. Moreover, Nan Ke is more suitable to direct the film "Hua Guo Partners" than Lin Xiao, because this film tells What is more is the story of Nanke and their era.

After "Those Years" became a big hit, many follow-up works began to appear in the film market in Huaguo, all of which focused on feelings and youth, so there was no reason for Ling Xiaoge, who created "Those Years", not to continue to keep up, "Broken Love" 33 Days" became the first choice.

Chen He finally started to take charge of his own side, "33 Days of Broken Love" directed by Chen He.

Opening three movies at the same time, and two of them can be regarded as big productions, this can be regarded as a major breakthrough for Ling Xiaoge.

Before the soldiers and horses move food and grass, the filming has not started yet, but the publicity is about to start first.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao's reputation is there. Having experienced "Dark War" and "Those Years", Lin Xiao is already a rising director star in the Chinese film and television circle, and among the younger generation of directors, no one can match him. Compare.

In addition, this time "Huang Feihong" Lin Xiao abandoned his previous martial arts novels and started a new one, which itself is not a small gimmick.

At the same time, the leading actor in "Once Upon a Time" turned out to be the little-known Wu Tian, ​​which is even more puzzling.

An original movie like "Once Upon a Time", rather than a movie adapted from a popular IP, actually needs a star to sit in the role, but it turned out that the leading actor of "Once Upon a Time" turned out to be the least famous.

This has to be suspicious.

However, apart from the leading actor, "Huang Feihong" has a configuration in every aspect, which is truly enough to make countless directors envy and hate.

In terms of costume design, "Huang Feihong" found a master who has won numerous awards and is good at designing costumes in the style of the Republic of China.

The soundtrack is looking for a top soundtrack master who has won the Oscar for Best Soundtrack.

As for action guidance, although the Wu family gang is not the top, but in terms of martial arts, there is no doubt about their professionalism.

In terms of photography, he is also a great photographer.
It can be said that except for Wu Tian, ​​who is not well-known, everyone else is top in the circle.

Of course, for Lin Xiao, "Huang Feihong" is definitely a huge challenge, because this movie is different from the previous two. According to the film preparation, when the crew is the largest, there can be more than 1000 people , for Lin Xiao, this is definitely the largest crew he has controlled so far.

The investment of "Once Upon a Time" is not too high, but it is definitely not low, because this is not a 3D movie, but a 2D movie. Among the 2D movies, the investment of 1.5 million yuan for "Once Upon a Time" is definitely not small.

The reason why Lin Xiao chose "Once Upon a Time" is not only domestic.

"Kung Fu Panda" has been scheduled for the end of the year.

Lin Xiao believes that this will be a key to open the door to the foreign film market, and "Kung Fu Panda" is an out-and-out Kung Fu movie even though it is a cartoon.

Negotiations with the Wu Family Gang went extremely smoothly, and in the end, Ling Xiao Pavilion won 40.00% of the shares of the Wu Family Gang.

Of course, the filming of "Huang Feihong" didn't start so soon. After all, this is an action movie. Although everyone is not required to be as skilled as Wu Tian, ​​there is still necessary training.

Therefore, before filming, Wu Tian and Wu Fa were also responsible for training the actors for a period of two months.

After all, it is really not easy for an actor without martial arts skills to make a good martial arts scene.

But these days, there are really not many actors who are truly proficient in martial arts.

"Kung Fu Panda", after nearly two years of production, has basically come to an end.

The samples were also edited.

In fact, the plot of "Kung Fu Panda" should not be too simple. After all, this movie is actually a kung fu animation, but in fact, it is more about being funny and cute.

As for the sample, Lin Xiao has seen it, and it is very good. Although there are some plots, it seems a little childish, but this is a cartoon, what else do you want?
In terms of action design, "Kung Fu Panda" and "Huang Feihong" are also two completely different styles.

Well, this is nonsense, "Kung Fu Panda" is an animal fight, "Once Upon a Time" is a human fight, if they are similar, hell.

Although there is still some time before the official release of "Kung Fu Panda", the pre-heating publicity is about to begin.

In China, "Kung Fu Panda" will be the first independently released film of The Peak Tower.

In foreign countries, especially the North American market, the distribution of "Kung Fu Panda" was finally handed over to Dick Group.

Yes, that Dick Group.

This is also something that can’t be helped. The previous incident with Sanle Animation has greatly affected Dick Group’s business in China.

Landry also took the blame and resigned.

Dick Group is eager to open up the situation, but Dick Group entered the Huaguo market relatively late, and those film and television giants in Huaguo basically have other partners in North America. The competition among several giants is actually more intense than that from Huaguo.

Especially in the overseas market, Huaguo, the emerging world's second largest movie ticket warehouse, is a must for North American film and television companies.

Well, these are not the point, the point is, Hollywood film giants, which one is good?

It's not that Sanle and Ling Xiaoge didn't want to find other Hollywood giants for distribution, but the conditions offered by the other party were extremely harsh.

Either it was a buyout at an extremely low price, or the distribution share was so high that Lin Xiao couldn't accept it at all.

Of course, there is another point, that is, "Kung Fu Panda" is not favored by them.

At this time, the Dick Group extended an olive branch, and the conditions offered were very good. Although everyone had been dirty before, but in terms of business, Landry, the president of the Asian region, had already taken the blame and resigned, so the relationship between the two parties It's not that tense.

The Peak Tower needs an overseas partner, because next, not only "Kung Fu Panda" will be released overseas, but "Once Upon a Time" must also be released overseas.

Although the Dick Group can be said to be the bottom of the Hollywood giants, in North America, the Dick Group should not be underestimated.

However, the Dick Group experienced the mistakes of the previous Landry, and its business in China was greatly affected. Therefore, it also urgently needs a strong partner in China.

Although Lingxiao Pavilion is still a little insufficient in theaters and distribution capabilities, it is already the best choice for Dick Group.

So the two sides hit it off, and from the previous hostile relationship, they suddenly became partners.
