Chapter 474 Investment Direction

After several years of experience, Joey's vision for selecting projects has increased dramatically, just like the number of professional vocabulary he has mastered, but his style of doing things always has a bit of the shadow of his teacher Kevin.

For example, the five projects that Su Lingxi has got at the moment - three of them are action science fiction movies, which perfectly meet the preferences of Columbia Pictures' production department.

She could guess without asking who picked these three movies and the other two comedy crime films.

"You're interested in 'Blair Witch'?" Tracy glanced at the script in her hand and raised her eyebrows. "I must admit that you have a very good eye."

Su Lingxi laughed, "I saw the mark you made - this project is a key project that Disney is optimistic about, right?"

"That's the case for now." Tracy nodded. "If we can work with Disney to produce Blair Witch, which costs hundreds of millions of dollars, it will be a great training opportunity for Sunrise and will also increase our reputation."

No matter how much profit Sunrise made in the past two years, it is nothing compared to those large studios.

But if they can reach a cooperation with Disney, how much money they make is secondary. Being able to gild the company is the real benefit.

However, with such a good opportunity right in front of them, theirs is definitely not the only company in Hollywood eyeing this project.

"Mark Egger has no reason to choose us." Su Lingxi concluded with finality, "Unless we can offer him conditions that he can't refuse."

"You mean, you want to act in it yourself, and then bring in money?" Tracy frowned slightly. In fact, although "Blair Witch" is set in London during the punk rock revolution in the 70s and features a villain as the protagonist, it is fresh enough, but it is not adapted from a famous IP, nor is it an art film that can win awards. It does not fit in with the film-taking route she has planned for Nicole.

"It's a good idea to bring in money, but the heroine of this film should be a British girl with brown hair." Su Lingxi shrugged, "Obviously, my hair color and appearance don't quite meet the requirements of the script."

Tracy seemed to be thinking of something and looked at her hesitantly.

"Don't look at me like that, dear - if the change of hair color and race is not harmful to the story itself, then I will work hard to get the role I want, but you and I both know that "Blair Witch" is not such a story." There was no need to dig deep, Su Lingxi could of course guess what she wanted to say.

In Hollywood, fame is everything.

With the release of one high-grossing work after another, Su Lingxi's change in status has long been recognized by most people: if before the Oscars, the public still thought that she was just a popular star who became famous very quickly, then after winning the Oscar for Best Actress, the public has obviously recognized her as a top superstar - this can be seen from the news that "The Painted Veil" has jumped to the top of the list of North American audiences' most anticipated new films just after it was completed.

Because she is undoubtedly an A-lister, it is natural for the media, the public and professionals to all look forward to her next film.

Fame means box office appeal, which means a constant stream of Franklins - this is why all Hollywood projects favor superstar actors.

It can be said that as long as Su Lingxi really took the initiative to express her desire to play "Blair Witch", Walt Disney might not hesitate for even a second and would easily find a screenwriter to change the protagonist's setting from a London homeless child to a homeless Asian who traveled across the ocean.

With the box office of "Freedom Road" reaching 15 billion, there is no film studio in Hollywood that does not want to replicate its box office miracle.

Su Lingxi and Tracy are both well aware of this.

But Su Lingxi also knows that such changes may seem minor, but in fact they are likely to make the entire project unrecognizable - for example, in the "Black Mermaid" launched by Disney last year, there was nothing wrong with the actor itself, but her skin color and appearance did not match the Little Mermaid Ariel at all, making the film completely incompatible with the original. Disney's move was also criticized by netizens and was labeled as "extremely disrespectful to the original."

Since the story of "Blair Witch" is set in London in the last century and the plot is closely related to the fashion changes in London, it is appropriate to choose an actor with distinct Celtic characteristics.

There was no need for her to lower herself and get involved.

"So, how do you plan to convince Disney to agree to invest jointly with us? Mark Iger is not a young man who can be easily fooled." Tracy asked curiously.

"It's simple. I can continue to sign a film contract with them in the '0 pay + box office dividend' model." Su Lingxi replied: "I will choose the specific script and decide the shooting time. I think such a contract should be very attractive to them."

Although there are many limiting conditions, the condition of 0 pay alone is enough to make most crews crazy - according to Su Lingxi's current status, even if the offer is million US dollars, many crews will hand over the script!

What's more, he performed the role for free.

Sensing her determination, Tracy's smile became more prominent. "Yes, I think with such a contract, they have no reason to refuse Sunrise's joining."

If we really compare, Sunrise actually has more advantages than 80% of the small and medium-sized film companies in California - it always makes a difference to have a superstar boss backing you up.

"OK, now it's agent time." Tracy put the piles of documents away and adjusted her glasses seriously. "Bertha is just your shopping consultant and life assistant. I think you still need an expert to help you handle the business of the charity foundation, or a relaxing vacation..."

She spoke rapidly, her ideas were clear and precise, and she had the demeanor of an A-list agent.

Su Lingxi couldn't help but laugh twice. As she listened, her thoughts gradually drifted away.

To avoid any embarrassment, she and Tracy tacitly did not mention Joey's impulsive behavior last week.

But it is obviously impossible to say that Su Lingxi didn't notice anything unusual.

The problem is that, rather than directly exposing her admirer's thoughts, pretending not to know is the most convenient way for her to deal with it, especially when the other party does not seem to have any intention of confessing...
