I want to work hard too!

Chapter 745 Encounter Bingbing in Chinatown

"There's no rush, try to make it as perfect as possible, and it can be completed within two years." Zhao Mingyang and Li Yanqing said.

This thing must not be rushed, because this kind of algorithm will be something that Zhao Mingyang can lie down and win in the future.

This thing Zhao Mingyang doesn’t know why in the rebirth novels he read in his previous life, no one did it. This thing can be extended to many industries, not only selling products, but also developing many new things around algorithms.
Although this thing can't see the effect in the early stage, as long as the research and development is successful, it will be a golden mountain, but it needs continuous investment, and it can be completed quickly in two or three years.

Leaving Li Yanqing's office building, Zhao Mingyang is going to the film and television company here, to buy a few spots for Daotian Entertainment, to place advertisements for Jifeng Auto,
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. For example, if you get a role in a Hollywood movie, you only need to pay a sponsorship fee. This sponsorship fee is usually calculated at three to four million dollars. This is not a secret in Hollywood.

Bringing funds into a group is a routine operation in Hollywood. Hollywood film studios have formed a fully mature commercial model. The film studios will meet the requirements of the sponsors, but they will arrange a role that is not painful, basically just soy sauce.

Most of them are calculated by the minute, and some only give a 1-minute shot. Zhao Mingyang is here this time to spend money on advertisements for Jifeng Automobile, and to do a wave of advertisements for the upcoming women-only car.
But Zhao Mingyang doesn’t play according to the previous routine, it’s not cost-effective, and often fails to achieve the desired effect. He has to invest in a movie himself, and then ask the director to shoot according to the script he gave him, or give the core theme to the screenwriter, and let the screenwriter create. A plot that was filmed completely in accordance with Zhao Mingyang's requirements.

After reading the experience of his previous life, Zhao Mingyang knew that it was not cost-effective to bring money into the group, but to invest in a Hollywood film, commercial, two hundred million dollars was enough to make a big production.
The investment in literary and artistic films is even less, and hundreds of thousands of dollars can also be filmed.

Zhao Mingyang wants to play a show operation. He is going to invest in a commercial blockbuster. The investment is about [-] million US dollars. He will invite some Hollywood celebrities to come and star in it. If he does not play special effects, he will save a lot of cost and spend the money on hiring celebrities. superior.

Then take the project to find sponsors in China, a Hollywood blockbuster, all with Chinese elements, except for some actors, all actors must drive domestic cars.

Dwayne Johnson wears Metersbonwe, Shiva rides Emma's electric car, Stallone drinks Xiang Piaopiao, all the children in the camera drink AD calcium milk, and all the beauties eat Weilong spicy sticks [you add].

These domestic companies advertise every year, and they invest four to five million dollars or even tens of millions of dollars in publicity in film and television dramas.

If you can let them go international and advertise in Hollywood movies, they may be able to spend a hundred million dollars to put it out.

This is also why many Hollywood companies are full of domestic products, especially mobile phone advertisements.
This is because many domestic advertising companies have seen this market, and they mainly seek cooperation from Hollywood to guarantee sponsorship for them. Without investment and sponsorship, a movie cannot be launched, especially a big production.

After the two sides negotiated, the advertising company went to talk to the domestic manufacturers, and got a commission, usually around 5% to 10%, and the highest price got.

For example, in the Hollywood Transformers series that everyone is familiar with, there are more domestic advertisements than the last one. Advertisements for Shuhua milk are everywhere. The characters in the movie drink Shuhua milk when they are hungry. Do you think this is the end?
In Transformers, there are C'estbon, Metersbonwe, TCL, etc. In addition to Transformers, there are Hollywood blockbusters such as Avengers, and there have been grains, Lenovo computers, and vivo mobile phones used by Captain America Iron Man.

Zhao Mingyang's operating method at this time is the one used by Goose Factory in his previous life. He invested in and released movies to insert his own advertisements, and all the chat software in the movies used QQ.

After counting the cost, the salaries of the first-line Hollywood actors are about 500 to [-] million dollars. At the peak of the year, Uncle Long received a relatively high salary of [-] million US dollars. At the peak, Uncle Long’s global box office appeal There are still some, and for the rest, most Chinese movie stars cannot reach this height.

Fa Ge is around 800 million US dollars, and Kung Fu Li is [-] US dollars, but the two of them quickly dropped their pay after that. You must know that Uncle Long has created the comedy kung fu genre, and only at this level can Hollywood achieve lifelong success. prize.

However, after the peak period of Hollywood movie stars, most of them have nothing to film, and can only be investors or turn behind the scenes to be directors.

Zhao Mingyang plans to invite a few international superstars first, and then shoot a romance film, all of which are celebrities, so that it is easy to place advertisements. This film does not plan to have much response or word of mouth, just to reduce his investment in publicity , find someone to share the advertising fee with yourself, which is equivalent to everyone pooling money to shoot an advertising film at a time.

As long as there are enough superstars, there is no fear of no audience watching, no fear of no one’s attention. Actors at the peak of this kind of gold-making movies rarely pick up, fearing that their reputation will be ruined, but veteran semi-retired stars are not afraid of this. Everyone wants to earn some retirement money. Jin, anyway, there have been good works in the past that guaranteed reputation.

Zhao Mingyang called the lawyer's number that his little cousin gave him, and asked him to help introduce him. Lawyers are also called contacts here, and they know many people.

The other party asked Zhao Mingyang to wait for the call and arranged to tell him.

Zhao Mingyang originally wanted to go to the Lakers stadium, but saw Liu Bingbing's circle of friends, she was filming in Chinatown here.

Coincidentally, let's give Bingbing a surprise and feed her well, she must be starving...

Zhao Mingyang took a taxi to Chinatown. The driver was a Mexican. He kept talking to Zhao Mingyang all the way. Zhao Mingyang simply dealt with it, and paid the fare and service fee when he arrived at the destination.

In the United States, the service fee is basically paid. Taxi usually pays 10% to 20% of the bill. Zhao Mingyang took a taxi for 50 yuan and gave a tip of 10 yuan. Generally, [-]% is for the driver’s performance. Not to mention, he was still complaining about a lot of negative emotions with Zhao Mingyang.

The restaurant tip here is generally 10% to 15% at noon, and everything will be included in the bill when you pay the bill. Dinner is generally 15% to 20%, and you don’t need to tip when you pack it yourself.

This is very different from that in China, and it was generally unacceptable in China in the past.

Zhao Mingyang came to Chinatown. The Chinatown in Los Angeles is very large among Chinatowns. Uncle Long's Red Fan District was photographed here, and the statue of Mr. Bruce Lee was also here.

There are a lot of people here in Guangdong Fujian. Chinese restaurants are high-consumption restaurants abroad. Generally, local families seldom go there, mainly because they are expensive.

Zhao Mingyang looked for it according to the photos sent by Liu Bingbing, and asked a lot of people. This area is connected by several blocks.

Just when Zhao Mingyang came to Liu Bingbing's filming location, he suddenly found a group of people gathered together. It seems that something is wrong. Why are there a group of foreigners?It seems that someone is pointing at someone and yelling.

Zhao Mingyang approached slowly and found that Liu Bingbing was also surrounded by the crowd.

"What's going on?" Zhao Mingyang asked a Chinese youth beside him.

The other party said in English with a confused face: "Do you know English? I don't know Chinese, but I can understand it."

Zhao Mingyang asked again in English. This is probably a Chinese from the United States. To be precise, he is from the United States, but the definition is Chinese.

"This crew from China is filming here, but one of the actors slept with that old girlfriend in a white turban at the bar last night. The other party brought someone to make trouble and asked the crew to hand him over, otherwise We need to make this crew look good, this turban hat belongs to the gang here, you know, there are many gangs here." The Chinese youth said,
