Zhao Donghuai understands that after signing a contract, you have to star in two films, and they are still in England and France. You are just filming, and it is too difficult to fly back and forth between Europe and Hong Kong Island.

"Then how long will it take for her to finish filming these two movies??"

Monica shook her head, "Not sure, maybe three to four months, maybe half a year or a year."

Zhao Donghuai shook his head speechlessly, "Let's forget it for now. I'll let Nicole Kidman play the role."

In addition to Nicole, Sandra Bullock is also an option. Sandra, the heroine of the original version of Speed, was pretty good-looking when she was the youngest. She is also an orthodox graduate of the North American Theater Academy.

I practiced at the Drama Academy for several years, and now I have joined the Asian Drama Academy and studied for more than half a year...

If Zhao Donghuai sets the scope so that Chinese actresses can also star, then Lin Qingxia and Hu Huizhong can be cast.

It's just that this is still in the period when "Hong Kong Zhao's Pictures can promote famous and white stars at will" to strengthen its brand foundation.

Super bodies, unresolved love between humans and ghosts, life and death happening one by one, making white female stars popular, Die Hard is making white male and female stars popular.

What is this? Thousands of gold to buy horse bones.

When Hollywood ushered in the ZZZQ era ahead of schedule, in a few years, his Zhao's Pictures will become stronger and stronger, and its star-attracting aura will become stronger and stronger.

The name of Oriental Hollywood can only be firmly established if it is repeated several times.

The script is ready, and it will be co-directed by Lin Zhengying, Yuan Heping, Du Qifeng, etc., and some white and Chinese supporting roles will be inserted. The big villains will be Richard Norton and Jet Binnie.

In order to find opportunities, Bruce didn't care about the salary, and Nicole didn't care even more. So the production cost was severely reduced. The original production cost of Die Hard was 28 million U.S. dollars, and the North American box office was 83 million. It was really explosive.

strong.

But that was because Bruce alone was paid US$5 million, the other actors were also paid a lot, and there were various filming locations in North America, so the prices were high.

Shooting on Hong Kong Island, the total cost is not even 20 million Hong Kong dollars, so it can be done.

………………

Time is passing by (at the speed of life and death) as the box office of Hong Kong Island is being bombarded day by day. It was released on New Year's Day on January 1st. Until the 4th, this bomb-busting movie has already made more than 12 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. Basically,

It's over 3 million every day.

Liang Jiahui is completely popular.

Of course, the heroine Laura Fangna has also reached a higher level. She originally made her debut in front of fans in Hong Kong with the help of Cheng Long's food truck and surprised many people.

But that kind of stunning, pure role is completely different from the role of a character who is in danger of life and death and saves the personal safety of a bus of passengers. Especially the scene where the bus flies over a broken bridge really adds a lot of fuel to Laura's popularity.

As of the 10th, the total box office of Life and Death has exceeded 28 million.

Although a Hong Kong movie can basically earn more than 60% of the total box office in the first ten days of release, but it still made more than 28 million in ten days...

Countless media outlets have begun to exclaim that the Hong Kong film industry has truly entered its most prosperous era. The box office bombs of each movie exceeding 30 million or even 40 million are the best proof.

January 11th.

When Bruce Willis arrived at a large office of Zhao Films, he looked at the people sitting in a room and immediately apologized with a smile. He was indeed late.

Today is a small script reading meeting for the movie (Die Hard).

When he saw Nicole Kidman as the heroine, Bruce felt...well, he didn't want to think too much now, the main thing was to seize the opportunity and rise.

Because he terminated the contract with his former agency and paid a liquidated fine of US$1 million, he owed a lot of money to the bank.

But being in debt is a basic thing for North Americans. It is so common. Every college graduate, who is not allowed to repay student loans?

If you think about it, you will know that he has been working as a bit player for eight years. He just made his name on a TV show in September last year and three months ago. He has not yet been filmed for the second season. He is really poor.

He was just optimistic about Zhao Donghuai's ability to attract big stars time and time again. With his golden name, he made a big bet and signed all contracts with Zhao.

Soon, after receiving the overall script and the male lead script of Die Hard, Bruce became more and more excited. The more he watched, the happier he became. He felt that he had made the right bet!

This is another action blockbuster where the male protagonist breaks through everything. Look at the precedents of Lam Ching-ying, Andy Lau, Tony Leung Ka-fai, etc. As a white male lead, he will definitely not be bad.

In comparison, liquidated damages debt is not that important.

Zhao Donghuai had finished reading the script in the crowd, and then he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, this is the script. I will not direct this drama. I will be the nominal producer, A Ying, Director Yuan, Sir Du, and the three of you."

I leave it to you, experienced people.”

"By the way, Bruce's salary is set at US$200,000. When this series becomes popular, your salary will gradually increase. Nicole, your salary will be US$30,000. You will be given 30% when the team is formed, and the remaining 70% will be distributed after filming.

,any questions?"

It’s okay to give Bruce a salary of 100,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan is also 780,000 Hong Kong dollars, but as I said, we need to lay down the foundation and build a brand.

Bruce and Nicole rushed to express their opinions that it was okay.

Time flies by.

When the script reading went on until nightfall, Bruce Willis quickly stepped out and planned to go back to the dormitory.

The dormitory he lives in is also a staff dormitory. After all, a certain broadcasting community has been bought up, and it is too childish to arrange dormitories for male and female stars one by one.

While still waiting for the bus, Nicole Kidman chased after her and said with a smile, "Mr. Bruce, while the crew starts shooting, I hope you can give me more advice. This is my first time as a heroine in a movie. I have a lot of acting experience."

The basic reason is that I have never experienced filming with a real female protagonist."

Bruce nodded excitedly, "Actually, I am the same. I hope we can learn from each other and make progress together."

Nicole smiled and nodded, "By the way, how do you plan to spend your salary?"

Bruce said in shock, "Repay the debt??"

This is a bit of an acquaintance. After all, this is the first time we have met, but it is also the first time for both of them to participate in a major movie. They have many scenes opposite each other. Bruce still plans to communicate with Nicole more.

If the male and female protagonists of the same movie don't communicate much, it will obviously hinder the filming.

He didn't want to ruin his huge gamble of risking everything and taking out a loan to pay liquidated damages.

Nicole blinked and laughed, "I didn't expect you still have debts, but I feel that you can try investing your remuneration in the boss's financial group. This is a friendly suggestion."

Bruce was confused, "Financial investment?? I don't understand."

He just graduated from high school and has worked as a handyman for many years. He has been working as a side job for eight years. How can he know anything about high-level financial investment?

He only knows one thing about financial investment, investment, there are profits and losses, and the probability of losing everything when you are new to the industry is over 90%.

Nicole Kidman smiled even brighter, "The boss is kind-hearted and wants to help us make a fortune together. We don't understand, but he has hundreds or thousands of financial masters under his banner. I heard that several of the boss ladies were married last year.

In the Plaza Accord, each made hundreds of millions of dollars."

"Now the proprietresses are still worrying about how to spend so much money... The most simple thing is to buy luxury houses and villas. I heard that Ms. Guan has already bought more than ten houses in Peak Road, Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, and Kowloon Tong.

Got a big villa."

"It also includes large flat floors in dozens of residential complexes."

"Even some commercial office buildings in bustling areas of downtown."

"Although I don't understand, I invested more than two hundred thousand dollars, and I'm just sitting back and waiting to get rich!"

Nicole has not yet participated in a major role in a major movie and has not become popular, but her family is well off. Her father is a university professor and her mother is a publisher. She also started appearing on magazine covers as a model at the age of 14.

Whether it's the wealth she's saved herself or asking her family for tips... she has scraped together more than 200,000 US dollars to join the fortune-making bandwagon. She feels that her future gains may be more than what she will earn after her fame explodes and her salary increases.

Bruce is even more confused, is this okay? Zhao Donghuai, a great director and currently his boss, is not only a new force in the global film industry, but also a financial expert?

How can I make a fortune by raising a few girlfriends, each of whom can earn hundreds of millions of dollars?

This is too exaggerated!

After all, he is a poor person now, in debt.

Nicole continued with a smile, "You are new here, so you may not understand how Hong Kong stars make money, but it doesn't matter. You will know when you get familiar with it. In Zhao's, whether stars become popular and how popular...remuneration has never been a controversial point.

"

"Even if (Die Hard) makes us famous and we participate in the sequel, the salary will still be a small amount of money that doesn't matter. The key is whether we can stand on the road to making real money."

After saying that, Nicole Kidman ran away, leaving Bruce who was even more confused, standing there doubting life. When you are a star or an actor, the salary is not money? Then what is money?

What is the real way to make big money??

He knows that in the current Hong Kong film industry, the name of Oriental Hollywood is getting more and more famous, including in Europe and the United States. It has also received a lot of recognition, but isn't Oriental Hollywood a pursuer of Hollywood?

Why don’t you make money from film remuneration?

In the Repulse Bay Villa, when Zhou Huimin, whose knees were weak, was once again simmering the soup that could calm the heart and reduce inflammation, Chen Hong suddenly ran into the kitchen and said with a complicated smile, "Sister Min, the financial analyst has found a target. You want to acquire a listed company."

, as chairman.”

"Many experts have analyzed and analyzed it, and they feel that Chinese real estate is a good choice."

"First of all, even though Huazhi Group's stock price has been depressed for a long time, it still has many high-quality assets in its hands. The current market value of the group is far lower than its true market value."

"Secondly, the Li family and the Feng family, which have been jointly controlling Huazhi, are having internal strife. This is a good opportunity to take over."

Chinese Real Estate was founded in the 1920s. The founders, the Li family and the Feng family, have been together with Hemeimei for decades. The two companies combined have an absolute control of more than 50%, and outsiders cannot make trouble at all.

However, until now, the cooperation between the two families has collapsed, which has given outsiders a huge opportunity.

Zhou Huimin said while making soup, "What's the stock price? What's the market value?"

Chen Hong's expression was still full of amazement, "The stock price is around 14 to 15 yuan, while Huazhi's overall market value is only a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars..."
