Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Now that the food supply was plentiful, he began to plan a menu for tonight.

At this moment, Wu Baige was already arranging matters for the filming. The script and necessary props were ready, and the leading actors had also been finalized.

Old Man Han rushed to the crew to attend the opening ceremony. The new year is about to be 2007. The entire shooting and post-production work will continue for a while. What he is looking forward to is the premiere next year.

"Director, how are you going to proceed?"

Mr. Han San asked with concern. There was no need to give him an overly polite smile.

"My Lord, everything is going smoothly."

Wu Baige's tone revealed confidence.

However, Mr. Han San still had some worries in his heart: “It all depends on you.

The domestic box office may not be high, and whether it can really make a lot of money depends on the response of the overseas market! "

He is well aware that the box office potential may be limited domestically.

"I filmed the movie based entirely on Western viewing habits, so there's nothing to worry about."

Wu Baige always adheres to the Western creative model, but he does not think that he is a successful example. It is curious where this confidence comes from.

After a while, the ceremony began and major media gathered, after all, there was a top-notch cast of actors here.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, there were only a few big-name celebrities at the scene, and most of them were mainland stars, which made the scene quite awkward.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the report: He deserves it!

James Wan is busy with preparations for the film about Huo Qubing, continuing to delve deeper into historical and cultural elements. Having accumulated experience, the team is now progressing smoothly, and they have begun to carefully examine the details of historical materials and preparation of props.

Lao Xu has also started filming the second part of "The King's Guards". The props and scripts have already been prepared, and he went straight to the set of Asia Television to start filming.

It must be said that ATV's new venue is fully equipped. The characteristic buildings of various periods are built according to ancient books and suggestions from professionals. The decorations are restored as much as possible and are more refined, full of aesthetic charm.

Asia Television's costume dramas are also filmed at the new venue, breaking away from the usual styling of Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas in the past and striving to be more in line with historical authenticity.

Asia Television is gradually suppressing Television Broadcasts Limited, forcing the latter to increase salaries and production quality, which makes the competition in the industry increasingly fierce.

Although there are only two television stations in Hong Kong, the situation is becoming increasingly intense.

If no positive measures were taken, Sir Run Run Shaw knew that TVB's status would continue to decline.

As a stingy person, the current investment made him quite sad.

Why do we pay so much to artists?

However, he understands that this is a helpless move. If he fails to maintain competitiveness and fails to retain the actors he trains, it would become an indirect supply of excellent talents to others.

Although there were no major events in 2007, He Yuzhu had already made plans to deal with the mortgage crisis on Wall Street, targeting Lehman Brothers; at the same time, the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" plan was finally officially launched.

Marvel Studios is buzzing with excitement as the various scripts that have been carefully polished for several years are now being put into practice and the casting process has begun.

The first film of course opens with "Iron Man", and the talented Robert Downey Jr. is cast in the role.

He is talented in acting and is deeply influenced by the performing arts gene. He has participated in film shooting since he was a child and has achieved remarkable success.

However, his fame at a young age made him gradually arrogant and self-indulgent, which eventually led to him being imprisoned for possession of .

After his release in 2002, he learned from his mistakes, turned to music, and with the support of his wife Susan Downey, worked hard to regain opportunities.

At this time, people from Lion Films found them, and they were both surprised because they actually invited Downey to star in the adapted film.

The visitor was Lion Films boss He Yuzhu himself. The reason behind this was that the importance of the Iron Man role made him look forward to a longer-term cooperation, and face-to-face negotiations were naturally to consolidate the relationship with the film and television company.

He Yuzhu said straight to the point: "Mr. Tangni, I think you should know me."

Tang Ni replied, "Of course, Mr. He is well known to everyone."

Then he asked, “But why pick me?”

“You’ll understand after reading the script.

Series films are our main focus, so the details of the cooperation have specific requirements.”

He Yuzhu explained: "We will ensure fair pay, and the film will improve with every step."

He further confirmed, “And there are no worries on the revenue front.”

At the same time, he also proposed that Downey and his wife Susan set up a studio under Lion Films, which was a natural thing to do. "It may take some time to set up a studio, but we can sign the contract right away."

Susan looked at her husband. The conditions were too tempting, and the guaranteed profits for ten years were exciting.

You know, as the vice president of the film industry, Susan Downey is well aware of Lion King's performance in the industry. Since the glorious success of "Scream" in 2003, all film projects have been profitable.

Especially since the low-cost start-up stage, even though some small-scale projects have uncertain profits and losses, several successful series have brought huge returns.

Now that the adapted film has been introduced and is advancing at the same pace as the series, has this Oriental man in front of us been planning for this series for a long time?

She responded directly: “We agree to cooperate, but it will take time to set up the studio.

We can sign a contract.”

Donnie looked at his wife approvingly, without much doubt about her wisdom and support.

He met Susan at the lowest point in his life and rebuilt his career together. She is his think tank. "Yes, Susan can make decisions on contracts for me."

He said.

"great!"

He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Wait a moment, our company's legal advisor will discuss the detailed contract with you.

You can invite people from your law firm to come along.”

As he spoke, he handed over the first draft of the script. "It took nearly five years to polish. It covers 30 films and multiple TV series, aiming to weave a complete Marvel Universe world."

“This is a very ambitious plan, but it won’t be a problem for people who are not keen on comics to watch the film, as it tells the story from the beginning.”

"Of course, the movie contains many subtle plots that cater to the needs of comic fans. It is very obscure and will become a festival for them."

"There are Easter eggs at the end of each movie that lead to the next story line, which will run through the entire film series."

He Yuzhu introduced it with full enthusiasm, because he created his own entire universe, which is expected to have 30 movies and more than 10 TV series in ten years.

Countless details have been added and corresponding changes have been made, without sticking to so-called political correctness.

The Downeys were stunned; the scale of this project was beyond their imagination—a filming schedule spanning ten years and a staggering amount of footage.

This is an unimaginable and crazy move for Hollywood.

The man before him seemed too terrifying.

After a brief exchange, He Yuzhu bid farewell to the team.

After they left, Donnie couldn't help but ask, "What did you think at the beginning?"

Susan explained: “Lion Films has had an unbeatable track record in producing franchises since the first Saw was released in 2003.”

"What's more, he had acquired Marvel at the time, and everyone knew he would adapt the comics for filming, but no specific project information was ever released."

“He invited you to star in Iron Man, which proves that he had already made detailed preparations to connect the existing film series with comic book adaptations.

It seems that he already had a clear layout when he was doing the merger and acquisition.”

“Is it really that scary?”

Donnie gasped. "It's scary when everything is pre-set, indeed.

But he is too confident!"

"Isn't he afraid of losing his investment?"

Susan laughed and said: "Many people try to understand his strategy. He is a very unique person and rarely participates in the competition for Oscars or other international awards."

“But it’s not unacceptable for a producer not to seek awards, as awards often go more to directors and actors.

Collaboration with them may have a greater chance of success, and we may even set up a studio, what do you think?"

Donny nodded in agreement, then added, "As you said, I look forward to reading the script."

After taking the script from He Yuzhu, he quickly glanced through it, looked up and said, "It really fits me. There are parts that resonate with my experience. Also, I think Tony Stark's (Iron Man) personality is very similar to mine."

“There are even commonalities in life experiences – having an important female influencer by your side.”

The two looked at each other, and the tenderness in their eyes overflowed between them.

......

Immediately afterwards, Lion Films held a press conference to announce a new project.

What kind of series of stories will this start?

As media reporters poured in from all directions, they found that Douglas, the CEO of Lion Films, Stan Lee of Marvel, and the director Robert Downey and his wife who were about to shoot the movie were also present.

People can't help but wonder: Is this a preparation for a comic book movie?

Everyone was immediately excited. After all, the oriental businessman had acquired Marvel for five years, but was only now officially launching this plan?

Soon after, the press tour officially began, with Douglas himself announcing his upcoming new project, Man of Steel.

At the same time, he introduced the producer, director and main actors.

The reporters became excited and started the question-and-answer session.

A reporter asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Douglas, why is Mr. He only starting to implement the comic adaptation project now even though he has acquired Marvel for five years?"

And: "Why is Lion Films announcing a new film now when they have such a long series of hit movies?"

Douglas smiled when he heard these questions. They were from CNN (CBS) and the questions seemed to be preset.

"In fact, it's not difficult for you to understand,"

Douglas said, "After completing the acquisition of Marvel, the president ordered to start developing movie scripts."

"To be exact, not just one movie, but three... ten scripts!"

Hearing this, the reporters gasped, what kind of series requires the scripts of so many movies?
