Chapter 350 Spending so much money, you always have to listen(2/3)

………………

A few days later, Zhao Donghuai looked at Xiaoxian doing things in sign language with heart and soul, feeling a little melancholy.

This person has brought sign language learning into work? It can be said that she is doing her best. Not only her, but also Jiaxin and Amin have also integrated sign language into their work and life.

Seeing his speechless look, Azhen smiled like a little fox and brought him a cup of coffee, "Boss, I should be honest, right? I won't argue at all."

Zhao Donghuai took a sip of coffee and didn't want to reply to her, after all...

Azhen continued, "By the way, Mr. Wu from Zhushe handed over a book and said that he wanted to film and copy the series. If the project is really launched, will he need to go to the northwest to build an underground ancient city? It will take several people to build the city.

moon……"

"I would like to ask you to help set up a connection with the film and television city project in mainland China."

"Including special effects production, we also need to place orders for the special effects base."

Zhao Donghuai sprayed directly.

Waiting for him to wipe his mouth, including wiping the coffee residue on his desk with a paper towel, "Chilling??"

Azhen was confused, "Yes? Ci Ling!"

“I feel like there’s nothing wrong with comparing Loulan Ancient Ruins or Dungeon Adventure Treasure Hunt to the series, right? They are both one of the strongest and most successful blockbuster series in Hollywood, just like the series.”

Zhao Donghuai took a deep breath and said, "You are right, it was me who made the fuss."

What a fuss he made!

First, Wu Yusen took the photo, and then Lao Wu took Zhu Yanping to do the photo. Isn't it reasonable? Anyway, they were just copying the work and following the trend.

Regardless of whether it is now or after the 21st century, the original Taiping is just like Titanic, and The Tomb is also in the style of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is just that the script may be well written, and the actors are really included in the cast.

It's just soft.

For example, Zhu Yanping praised the original heroine of Ci Ling, praising her for bringing him creative inspiration. It was just Ci Ling, not even! Not even that!

Likewise not!

Thinking so, Zhao Donghuai couldn't help but asked curiously, "Now that the general direction has been set, they are going to build the ancient city of Loulan. Have you chosen the male and female protagonists?"

Azhen nodded, "Yes, the heroine chose Mei Chen Amick, and it seemed that he won it for 3 million Hong Kong dollars. The male protagonist chose Hu Jun and gave him 5 million Hong Kong dollars."

Zhao Donghuai took another sip of coffee, feeling a little confused. Such a prick? It didn't seem like something out of a bad movie, right?

It feels too believable. At least Tai Ping Lun still has a problem with its market direction. It can easily go astray. As for the script provided by Wu Yusen, if it is not changed? Then it will be difficult to have a chance to sell well in the mainland.

Without the mainland market, the bigger the investment, the easier it is to lose money.

But in this kind of assassination, handsome men and beautiful women go to explore the ancient underground city of Loulan in the northwest of the mainland? If this is a little bit more supernatural, that's it, or maybe it's Zhu Yan's flat version??

This doesn't seem to be a big problem?

He was careless and was frightened by his name.

However, can Zhu Yanping produce serious photos?

The original screenwriter An Xi, you can't say that he has no talent. He wrote the original track and won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay and the Golden Horse Award for Best Screenplay.

She also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Screenplay, the Academy Award for Best Screenplay, etc., etc., which are not bad. She is also the best producer!

The biggest reason why the script was so bad in the original track was that the actors interfered with the script, actively asked for additional scenes, changed scenes, etc. The actors did not mess around just because they were famous. In fact, many scripts would not be so bad.

After thinking about it at the end, Zhao Donghuai also felt at ease. With this wave of competition-style blockbuster shooting by Zhushe Lao Wu or Xiang Lao Shi, both groups of people may lose money, but Zhao's Film Special Effects Base cannot lose money.

The Taiwan Super League is just waiting to make money from special effects.

"Contact the mainland, mainly the northwest. We need to build an underground city at the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. It cannot be completed in two or three months."

………………

Deep Water Bay Villa.

Li Chaoren, who had just returned from the White Elephant inspection, looked at the plan handed over by Ah Ju. His brows knitted together, and the question mark between his brows almost turned into reality.

Akai couldn't help complaining, "I'm telling you, boss, you don't spend money as money. You want to invest 50 million, so forget it. Why hasn't that project been completed yet? The final script hasn't been released yet."

You want to invest another 100 million to shoot??"

"Is there any mistake??"

Ah Ju looked at A Kai calmly, with an air of magnanimity and calmness as if he was too lazy to refute, and the attitude of a child not to interrupt when an adult is talking about something. A Kai's nose was almost crooked in anger.

Until the copyist coughed and looked at Ah Ju.

Ju Shao then smiled and said, "Daddy, Xu Jinheng's Xu Pictures hired Ah Xing and white star Jim Carrey to film. Ah Xing's salary is 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and Jim Carrey's is 500,000 HKD, which is equal to 3.9 million Hong Kong dollars."

"In addition, we also hired some white supporting actors, which cost millions more. Until the film was made, not counting the script money, almost 30 million Hong Kong dollars were invested."

"Not counting this, Ah Heng plans to spend 20 million US dollars on publicity in Europe and the United States, which is 156 million Hong Kong dollars in publicity expenses!"

"Daddy, if you don't believe it, just call Xu An and ask."

Akai's face darkened and he opened his mouth to refute something. The young man smiled again and said, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 1 in 1980 cost 384 million U.S. dollars globally. Raiders of the Lost Ark 2 in 1983 also cost 179 million U.S. dollars in North America and nearly 400 million U.S. dollars globally.

, last year’s Raiders of the Lost Ark earned $474 million worldwide.”

“It’s just the box office!”

At this point, Ju Shao coughed heavily and emphasized his tone, "Just three movies have grossed US$13.4 billion at the box office, which is equivalent to more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars."

"The video tape market is also creating tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in wealth as it continues. Needless to say, the output value of other peripheral products such as dolls and cultural t-shirts."

"The three major movie series are higher than the current total market value of our Changshi!"

Akai, "..."

What Akai originally wanted to say was that the total market value of the Cheung Kong Group is only over 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the cash flow it can generate is even more limited. The 300 million it took out last time to help you pay the ransom was already a lot.

You have only been back for a few days? You want to spend 150 million in one go?

Do you think of yourself as the master of the Li family too much? Have you considered the mood of the second young master? Doesn’t it mean that the Li family’s money does not belong to him, Young Master Kai?

But after reading a bunch of data, Akai was speechless and even breathing heavily.

Yes, the Raiders of the Lost Ark trilogy. As a handsome boy who has studied in North America for ten years, how can he know this??

Mr. Li's brows widened, he put down the plan and said, "Zhao's big projects such as Jurassic Park, Twilight Saga, Wanted, etc. all make money this way, but we have no chance at all.

No wealthy family can get into the car, after all, they are all guaranteed to win."

Ah Ju nodded excitedly, "Yes, Daddy, who will give us an advantage on a big, sure-win project? If we want to make this money, we have to start from scratch. How much money did we make in Cheng Long's Police Story 1?"

"In fact, Hong Yanbao and Yuan Biao's Ip Man didn't make much money at the beginning. This was accumulated one after another starting from the first film."

"Although Lao Wu from Zhushe was born as a short mule, he really knows about movies. Before he entered Green Island to cultivate the earth, he was a half-filmmaker, and after he came out, he became a professional filmmaker."

"Although the two films only made more than 3 million US dollars in Europe and the United States, which can be regarded as a loss, but in the long run, the video revenue of the two films in Europe and the United States may not be able to accumulate tens of millions of dollars."

"In Mainland China, Hong Kong, East Asia and Southeast Asia, we have made tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars and hundreds of millions of RMB. There will also be video tape income in the future. This is how investments can bear fruit quickly!"

"Much faster than real estate."

A trace of relief flashed across the face of the copycat, and he felt as if his stupid son had grown up and learned something. "Okay, I'll just say these words to you. Even if I lose all 150 million, it's just a test of the waters."

In order to pay the ransom, 300 million were spent. Even if Changshi is short of money now, if you squeeze it, you can still make up a sum.

What if Hedu makes a lot of money?

That's not right. I heard that if the film and television industry deceives amateurs, even if they make a lot of money at the box office, there are ways to get you a loss-making bill. Short mules like Zhushe Lao Wu will not dig holes here to wait for their family.

Bar?

Lao Li took the initiative to spread a cigar for A Ju, "What if the accountant named Wu deceives you?"

Ju Shao was startled, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said uncertainly, "Of course I don't have the confidence to say that the other party is 100% afraid to cheat me, but I wanted to invest, so I asked Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Sheng didn't object, so I ended up with it."

of??"

"Anyway, I have also made films and contributed to Hong Kong films. There is also a film that took the world by storm and sold 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. It was in the name of our Li family. The big villain is Mr. Li.

Is it also a contribution?”

Lao Li thought for a moment and nodded, "What you said makes sense, then it'll be fine. I'll call you and ask."

After a while, Lao Li put down the phone and said happily, "No matter Yongsheng, Deng Yurong, or those short mules from Zhushe, no one dares to use black money to make movies at this stage, and they never dare to launder money at the box office."

"Every money invested in film and television production can be traced back to its origin. It is very clean. Don't worry about doing things. I will support you to the end."

Ah Ju was ecstatic. He even thought about joining the project as an actor. Hu Jun would play the leading role, and it would be no problem for him to play a supporting role. Once he joins the group, plus his status as an investor and the bonus of the wealthy Li family,

Is there any chance to take a dip in Mei Chen Amick’s exquisite Ocean Horse?

………………

As time goes by, in late September, after two months of ballast, the big announcement plan was finally launched, with Zhou Xingxing, Wu Mengda, Liang Jiahui, Yuan Jieying, and Chen Huiling.

Such a lineup was announced and the poster was posted, which directly ignited the enthusiasm of countless movie fans in East and Southeast Asia, especially Chen Huilong...

With the help of the great Dongfeng just now, and the guest debut in concert tours, Mandarin versions and singles have been supported in many directions, this Ah Lo has recently become one of the most popular new singers in Haowan, Hong Kong.

Her single album, not counting mainland sales, has sold more than 600,000 copies, reaching the 12-platinum mark in traditional sales, soaring like a peacock spreading its wings.

During the ongoing concert tour, every time Ah Lo finished singing a song and called on fans to support Xingye's new album at the end of September or October, the whole house would be filled with cheers or a small amount of boos.
To be continued...
