This director is very reliable

Chapter 255 Sooner or later (first update)
In fact, Shen Changlin already had a premonition about this dinner!

It's not about today's event, but about the Hong Kong circle that lured him into the game...

After all, he is now considered a mountain, and this mountain is also a Chinese film and television production center!

Get on line with him and have fun together.

Is entertainment really that fun?
Mainly it is convenient to wash…

The simplest routine: A certain production team claims to invest 1 million yuan, 3000 million yuan will be given to the star, and they will sign a yin and yang contract, but they will actually give her 500 million yuan, with certain conditions, you know;
2000 million to hire a big director, actually give him 300 million to think about it;
3000 million invited a grass-roots international production team, and actually gave him 300 million.

The remaining 2000 million is the money for normal movie making.

This kind of movie makes better money, and if it doesn't make money, it launders 1 million black money into normal income, and sleeps with a female star by the way.

Hong Kong movies were mostly laundered in the early days, and tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars can be laundered for any movie. There is no way to launder money through ordinary channels faster than this!
In the last century, Taiwan’s film market was actually very average, but there were large-scale investment in film projects everywhere, some earned and some lost money. If you analyze the investment behavior, you will find that the brains of the investors must be broken. So much money is deposited in the bank. They all earn more than this, but if they don’t, they have to invest in movies, which means that during the operation of the enterprise, money from unknown sources keeps turning into legal income. This can easily explain why there are so many bad movies, and why The film company is not tired of filming.

Our game is more high-end, there are loopholes in the regulatory layer, money laundering + manipulation of the stock market...

If Shen Changlin is willing, he can directly become a white glove...

It wasn't Zhang Jiazhen, it was Li Jiazhen.

Even if he doesn't want to get involved, he has Changlin Film and Television in his hand!

Valuation 30 billion!
Moreover, Changlin Film and Television can be listed with a little operation.

If he agrees to become a close partner, a lot of resources from Hong Kong capital will pour in, and then capital from all parties will pour in, overestimate the market value, raise funds to buy shares, issue stocks, and then take advantage of real and fake benefits from star shareholders, box office, ratings, etc. The news drives up the stock price.

When any work is released or broadcast, and some news is released, the shareholders will either cash out or launder money...

Very convenient!

But when Zhang Jiazhen saw Shen Changlin, he only chatted for a few words, and felt that this person didn't like the Hong Kong circle...

Let him have an English name, but even say that his idol doesn't have an English name...

……

Zhang Jiazhen has thinning hair, wears glasses, and casual suits...

You can tell by looking at the hair style that it is deeply influenced by the UK—no matter how much hair a British gentleman has, it must be combed in an orderly manner, so that a fly will have to split his fork if it falls on it...

The most typical is Nolan!
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and gestured to Shen Changlin, who shook his head: "...Thank you, I don't smoke..."

Zhang Jiazhen clicked on it himself, and then said, "I've watched "Search", and I heard that Sony Columbia bought the right to adapt it?"

Shen Changlin looked at Yang Fan, who said, "The filming is over, directed by Gabriel Muccino, supervised by Will Smith, starring Charlize Theron, this year's Sony awards season..."

"I heard that the adaptation rights are not sold very well?"

"…Okay."

"150?"

"Well," Shen Changlin added, "it's three times higher than the US$500,000 in Infernal Affairs!"

Zhang Jiazhen choked again: "..."Infernal Affairs" is a cheap sale!"

"Hollywood is the center of global film and television production. They don't like overseas themes, and they are willing to spend some money to buy copyrights. It's already giving face!"

"Have you continued to cooperate?" Zhang Jiazhen smiled: "If you leave it to me to operate..."

Yang Fan interjected casually: "We just signed a project joint development agreement with Sony!"

Li Xiaoping was a little surprised: "What project?"

"It's a movie based on a best-selling novel. It's a test of the waters. We'll pay half of the money!"

Li Xiaoping: "A best-selling novel adaptation?"

Zhang Jiazhen said softly: "Not all novels are suitable for adaptation!"

Shen Changlin waved his hand: "It's okay, let's just make a small fuss, a low-cost feature film...we only paid 1000 million US dollars!"

Zhang Jiazhen began to give an example of a wonderful original Hollywood novel that was turned into a movie and failed miserably: "You know "Jurassic Park", his original novel is very exciting, the author Michael Crichton became famous in one fell swoop, and then Touchstone Films won him. Another masterpiece "Corpse Eater" is also called "The Ultimate Raider", that movie suffered heavy losses, spent a lot of money, and finally failed at the box office, and Touchstone Pictures became a subsidiary of Disney!"

"Even a movie that invites big stars may not be successful. "Revolutionary Road" is a novel by Richard Yates. DreamWorks specially invited Sam Mendes to direct it. Leonardo + Starring Kate Winslet, the word-of-mouth and box office were not very good, and the combined global box office failed to exceed [-] million!"

Shen Changlin shook his head, and did not refute, but said to Li Xiaoping: "...the project has been officially launched, and it is expected to be released in September next year. I guess Guangguang will not be interested..."

"As long as it is a project you are optimistic about, we are willing to invest!"

"...A few months ago, Lao Wang even rejected a big production of mine!"

Zhang Jiazhen heard the words, "What big production?"

"...a monster disaster movie...I said the cost was at least 1.5 million US dollars, and Lao Wang just told me to shut up!"

"1.5 million U.S. dollars, wouldn't it be a box office of at least 30 billion yuan to recover the cost?"

"more or less…"

"30 billion box office... Have you calculated the current market capacity?"

……

Zhang Jiazhen seems willing to play a wise man, an experienced person from the Hong Kong circle.

He wasn't aiming at Shen Changlin either, it was a strategy. First hit, then show kindness, and finally let the other party bow down...

It's a pity that Shen Changlin doesn't like this at all: "Of course I did the calculations, the cost of 1.5 million US dollars, my side will pay 50 million, Hollywood will pay [-] million, we will co-produce and distribute globally...but they are very greedy and treat me like a fool If you want me to pay all the money alone, then I will definitely not do it!"

Yang Fan answered: "Let them hang out first..."

"Have you all planned?"

"Of course, we will do research in advance before doing every project. For example, "The Thief", we built it according to the box office of one billion, so the high cost can reach [-] million..."

"...One billion box office...Aren't you worried that the audience won't buy it?"

"Next year's market will be at least 240 billion yuan, and top works will start with at least 10 billion yuan. Of course "The Bandit" will be the top work!"

Zhang Jiazhen nodded: "The market in mainland China is really good now. A blockbuster movie can easily cost more than [-] million yuan... In the past two years, I didn't even dare to think about it!"

Shen Changlin said: "No, the big sellers are basically new directors. Except for Xu Ke, the works of Hong Kong directors are very stable, and the works of others will not exceed [-] million! Therefore, I am very puzzled and have been wanting to ask for advice. Let’s talk about Chen Guofu, how dare he bet on Feng Delun? [-] million yuan for a Hong Kong director? Even a fool would not do it, but unfortunately, I have never had a chance to meet him.”

"The matter between you and Feng Delun... I think it's necessary, he didn't do anything..."

"Stop!" Shen Changlin waved his hands and looked at Zhang Jiazhen seriously: "...If you want to talk about this, then don't talk about it!"

"I... don't quite understand, everyone makes movies, and you target him like this..."

"Then who gave him the right to flirt with other people's girlfriends? He didn't respect me first, why should I give him face?"

Cui Baozhu interjected: "Everyone eat first, the lobster is good!"
