Chapter 977

In fact, the global agent distribution of "Taken" before did not intend to make money, but it turned out that even though the distribution share was very low, the box office of "Taken" was a big hit, which made Universal a lot of money. .

Moreover, the distribution rights of other aspects of "Taken" in the follow-up will be directly handed over to Universal in the end by Legendary Pictures.

So although Lin Xiao's price seems to be very unequal, in Vincent's view, it is a good thing.

Why do you say that?

Because of this condition, he believed that it would be difficult for Mina and DSN, a giant with very good performance, to accept.

Universal is different. Universal's performance in the past few years has really not been good. It can be said that it urgently needs blockbuster movies to regain confidence, and Lin Xiao has been successful so far.

Even the most unpopular "Taken", which is like a child's play, turned out to be the opening chapter of a series of movies by him!
What's more, the film "Dark War" is still directed by Lin Xiao himself in China.

Although it was a shootout film, Vincent asked Universal professionals to watch it specially, and then gave his evaluation and suggestion that this is a Chinese film that is very suitable for adaptation into a North American version.

Because there are not many political elements and backgrounds involved in it, the difficulty of transplantation is very low, but the plot is definitely exciting enough.

As for the film "Infernal Affairs", the plot structure is also very good, but they are a little unclear about the lines involved.

However, this kind of mutual undercover and identity exchange drama is still very exciting.

Among the two works, Vincent prefers the first "Dark War", because this film, if it performs well, is easier to shoot a sequel.

And relatively speaking, "Dark War" has a stronger commercial taste.

"Universal has no problem with this condition!" Vincent said directly without any hesitation.

"The Dick Group has no problems either!" Rand said not to be outdone.

He just took office. Although "Home Alone and Lost in Seattle" has made Rand's position more stable, but the new official has three fires. Of course, he hopes that he can continue to deepen the cooperation with Lin Xiao.

For Rand, losing a little profit is nothing at all.

The situation of Universal is not very good, but the situation of Dick Group is not much better.

Dick is inferior to other giants because of his background. In terms of strength, although he is not at the bottom of the Hollywood giants, he is not far behind.

After all, this kind of thing cannot be changed overnight.

Moreover, unlike Global's Vincent Investment, which looks at projects, Rand looks at people.

He has a kind of confidence in Lin Xiao. Of course, these confidences are based on the history of Lin Xiao's fortune and a series of experiences.

He discovered that Lin Xiao had never missed a shot, how terrifying it was.

Although Lin Xiao was looking for a partner this time, could it be said that he lacked confidence?The answer is quite the opposite.

If there is really insufficient information, he may not even find someone to cooperate with, because, sometimes, once the signboard is smashed, no amount of success can get it back.

In fact, Lin Xiao is more inclined to Universal and Dick, because on the one hand, they have cooperated with each other, and on the other hand, Rand is an old acquaintance with Dick Group, and with the previous things, Rand will definitely do his best.

As for Universal, Universal lacks a series of films, and Universal has abundant resources, but the development of film projects is a bit behind, so once it cooperates with Universal, it can obtain a lot of resources.

Don't underestimate these resources. For example, if there are two films released in the same period, one is fully invested and the other is cooperative. It will definitely be biased towards the film invested by oneself.

"Actually, I think the casting method of "Taken" last time was very good. Perhaps, we can continue this method." Vincent said suddenly.

"It seems that Universal is really prepared. Then, Vincent, do you have any thoughts about the hero of "Dark Wars"?" Lin Xiao laughed.

Not to mention, Vincent's proposal is really fun. If his own movie is produced in this way every time, it will also become a marketing effect.

Moreover, since Vincent dared to say that, there must be a suitable candidate for tonight's reception, otherwise, Vincent might not have said it.

"Of course! Steven Pike, what do you think? I think it would be interesting to let him play the thief." Vincent said.

"Steven Parker?" Lin Xiao turned to look at Nami.

To be honest, he is not very clear about the current situation of actors in North America.

"Although Steven Parker has only won the Golden Globe Award, he has been nominated for Oscars many times. In terms of acting skills and image temperament, Steven Parker is very suitable. However, Steven Parker messed up a big project before. And he is addicted to drugs, I don't think he is suitable." Nami is naturally not like Lin Xiao, but she knows a little about these Hollywood actors, especially famous ones.

"That was in the past. Steven Parker has successfully recovered from drugs. I think he is very suitable because Steven Parker's salary is very low, but his acting skills and image temperament are very suitable for the leading actor in the film." Vincent Te said.

"Oh? He's here today too? Maybe we can meet?" Lin Xiao wanted to see Steven Pike.

"Of course!"

Vincent, summoned an assistant and told her to find Steven Parker.

Soon, a handsome middle-aged guy with a little bit of vicissitudes appeared in front of Lin Xiao and others.

"Hi! Steven! This is Lin. Lin, this is Steven!" Vincent obviously had a good relationship with this Steven Parker.

He enthusiastically introduced Steven to Lin Xiao.

"Hi! Lin, "Kung Fu Panda" is really cool!" Steven said exaggeratedly.

"Thank you!" Lin Xiao accepted Steven's compliment with a smile.

Lin Xiao looked Steven Pike up and down. To be honest, this man is indeed handsome, and he has the temperament of a masculinity.

"I heard from Vincent that you have successfully detoxified? Congratulations!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Yeah, it worked. Those days were really painful, but fortunately, the rewards are coming, right?" Steven didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Xiao's words.

"OK, I'm fine. I have to admit that his appearance and temperament are really suitable for that role." Lin Xiao said.

"Lin, don't you think he is more suitable for Chen in "The Departed?" At this time, Rand, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Lin Xiao looked at Rand in surprise, and then at Steven Parker, not to mention, it really fits well.

This is interesting.
