Chapter 311 [Director: Wukong, Screenwriter: Loki]

This kind of data is simply too numerous to count overseas, and Daxia's subject matter is likely to fail to adapt to the local climate abroad. So you say you want to shoot and you plan to spend money, but the problem is that for me the risks outweigh the benefits!

So he didn't take his uncle's words to heart at all.

Plus what about the doomsday world in "Resident Evil"?

It’s a new topic, never seen before abroad, so the risk is even higher!

When I look for actors, they also look at your director's status, funding, and the script.

The status that the Avengers presented at that time was not enough to support him to submit the project.

But now it's different. In North America alone, the number of players has already exceeded tens of millions, right? And the discussion is still so high!

The persuasiveness is up! This IP is a sure thing!

And at that time, the Avengers said that they wanted to be the major investor.

I'm interested!

Jerry immediately reported this information to the Magistudio team.

"What did you say? They contacted you before releasing the game? Invited us to film together?"

"Oh, right. Because the director and the company were both from Daxia at the time, I had never heard of the theme of 'Resident Evil' before. I didn't know if it would work here, so I put it on hold. They didn't push it any further, so I thought maybe they weren't that persistent. But now they've released the game..."

From Jerry's perspective, he did nothing wrong.

The team heard his idea and thought it was correct, but now they had to keep their heads down and go to talk.

"The effects of the game and the topic are quite explosive now..."

"They probably felt that just talking to us wasn't enough, so they went through all this trouble..."

"The game is promoting the movie... I've never seen this kind of operation~"

After analyzing for a while, the person in charge made the final decision.

"Hurry up and contact them to see if they are planning this matter and whether we can get involved first."

The person in charge didn't say it, but in his heart, he thought it would be better if the other party could give more money.

After all, Daxia Film is still quite weak in the international market, so it would be difficult for MagiStudio to invest heavily. They want to participate, contribute effort but not money.

Actually, I just want to get a bargain.

As soon as my uncle received the news, he knew that Lin Mo’s plan was successful.

At least the issue of the influence of the theme of the doomsday zombie crisis in North America has been resolved, bringing the two sides directly to a negotiating table.

The Avengers took out the script as soon as possible.

The Magi team spent a whole day reading it and had a heated discussion about it.

You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.

I knew that Avengers had a script, but I didn't expect it to be so complete. The content, style, and setting are very suitable for Hollywood, and it makes people excited.

It is no worse than a top Hollywood movie, and the theme is fresh. The story has a more grand setting and a brand new plot than the game.

They even had an idea that this ending seemed suitable for making a series of movies!

The contract hasn't been signed yet, but a group of people seem to see "Resident Evil" series 1, 2, 3, and 4 in their eyes.

Magi exclaimed "amazing"!

At least for the story itself, Magi's worries are gone.

And after careful inquiry, I found out that the screenwriter and director are both big figures in Daxia.

Although he has not been in the industry for long, his works have achieved surprisingly good results.

It was like a dark horse in the Daxia film market, carving out a niche for itself and setting many records.

It even competed with "Explosion Cop".

Can we have some expectations for this film team?

So the Magi team specially found "Infernal Affairs" and watched it.

After watching it, the whole team fell silent.

"this..."

“It’s wonderful!”

"This story has a unique perspective, masterful technique, and great depth!"

"How would this story play out in Hollywood?"

"Can we buy the remake rights for 'Infernal Affairs'?"

“!!!”

Many people were shocked and excited when they heard this!

It seems that this script does not need to be changed, just find Hollywood actors to remake it!

"Goku...Loki...that's kind of impressive!"

"And this Loki doesn't seem to be a newcomer, you see."

"Best Original Screenplay at the 28th Cannes Film Festival!"

"Buried Alive is his work!"

“No wonder he could write Infernal Affairs!”

Now the Magi team not only recognizes these two Daxia people, but also begins to admire them a little.

At the same time, we are also looking forward to the upcoming cooperation.

After several rounds of discussions, the two teams confirmed that Magi would be able to provide great support in terms of theater resources.

Although it is no longer the king it once was, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and there are still more than 3,000 physical cinemas around the world.

As long as the film turns out well, this aspect is definitely guaranteed.

You can also help put the team and crew together, with the focus being on the preparation of the actors, which Magi can take the lead in.

They also have no problem with technical special effects.

These are all on-site.

Lin Mo himself did not intend to give nothing. He planned to invest money, and he wanted to be the major investor.

"The investment is at least US$100 million."

“!!!”

Magi was shocked. The people of Daxia are so rich!

The whole team looked as if they had seen the God of Wealth, and the person in charge even wanted to imitate Da Xia's style and give the other party a thumbs up.

Not only am I am amazed at the other person's talent, but I am also obsessed with his financial resources.

In fact, Lin Mo calculated that the script and IP themselves cost a lot of money, and Lin Lei's team could take care of a lot of special effects, technology and post-production work, all without real money.

Therefore, the actual funds can be reduced to less than 400 million Daxia coins.

Because he knows that whether "Resident Evil" is artistic or not is another matter, but it really makes money.

Lin Mo also had a request: his technical team wanted to come to the site to learn and communicate.

When the person in charge heard this, he said, "No problem!"

Daxia's film technology is much behind Hollywood's. What can you learn from this kind of study?

I agreed without hesitation.

The two sides hit it off immediately. You provide the resources and effort, and I provide the money and the script, and the project is officially put on the agenda.

Just a few days after the contract was signed, Magi issued an open casting call overseas.

This task can only be done by them, because neither Daxia Film nor Wukong is well-known overseas, so only the former film giant Magistudio can prepare the crew and get a good team.

As soon as the news came out, the Daxia film industry was shocked!

"What? Resident Evil has started filming? So soon!"

"The game has only been online for a few days, and the film crew has already started preparing for filming..."

"Holy crap! There really is a movie? Who owns the copyright?"

"Of course it's from Asgard, or the Avengers?"

"Could it be that the rights have been sold to Magi? But there's no news at all?"

"Hot News: The copyright of "The Sign of Four" was sold to Magi by the Avengers..."

"Isn't it selling out too quickly? The film was planned to be shot by Magi. How did they get the connection?"

"No, it must be a co-production. Just look at the names of the director and screenwriter and you'll have the answer."

There were only two names in the crew list that were shining with golden light and made the people of Daxia feel extremely familiar.
