Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 445 The Little Ghost Has Started Filming

In the evening, Iwasaki Mineryu from Tokyo also called. At this time, it was after [-] o'clock in the morning of the next day in Tokyo.

Iwasaki Mineryu also asked Lin Baicheng his views on the follow-up trend of international gold prices. Lin Baicheng gave the same answer, and how to operate is up to Iwasaki Mineryu himself.

This time, Iwasaki Mineryu said that he simply followed Lin Baicheng's operation. If Bailong Commercial Club's gold futures long orders were not sold, then his own long orders would not be sold. He would rather make money and lose money with Lin Baicheng than You lose money by mishandling yourself.

During the phone call, Mineryu Iwasaki regretted it very much. He sold the long position at the high position at the low position before, resulting in a loss of nearly [-] million US dollars. If he can always trust Lin Baicheng and not operate with the long position, then the gold price will break through In the previous high situation, not only did he not have to lose money, but he started to make money.

In other words, the money that should have been earned was not earned, but it lost nearly 1 million U.S. dollars, adding up to a loss of more than [-] million U.S. dollars, a figure unimaginable for ordinary people.

Not to mention ordinary people, more than 1 million US dollars is not a small amount for Mineryu Iwasaki, enough for his heartache for a long time, otherwise he would not have complained to Lin Baicheng on the phone, which shows how regretful he is.

Faced with Iwasaki Mineryu's bitterness, Lin Baicheng just comforted him a little, and then he didn't care about it. After all, he ate the bitter fruit he brewed.

The international gold price of the day did not fluctuate much after 250:[-] pm. After breaking through [-] US dollars per ounce that day, it has been in shock.Compared with the previous trading days, that is to say, the trading volume has increased a lot, and there are a lot of funds trading.

After breaking through $250/oz, the international gold price has stabilized at the price of $250/oz in the shock. This is a good thing for the bulls, which shows that the bulls are currently relatively strong and have not been suppressed by the shorts.

The next day, Lin Baicheng stopped paying so much attention to the international gold price. Vivien Kelly and the others were always paying attention to the fluctuation of the gold price, and would notify him if there was a large fluctuation.

In the morning, after having breakfast, Lin Baicheng went to Morningstar Films.

"Lansing, how is the filming of "Home Alone" going?"

In the office, Lin Baicheng asked Shirley Lansing.

The most important thing about the movie "Home Alone" is the little boy who plays the leading role, and the little boy was finally found shortly after Lin Baicheng returned to Xiangjiang last time. The producer and director brought the little boy and his family I went to Xiangjiang and asked Lin Baicheng to interview in person, and finally got Lin Baicheng's affirmation.

Cameron Atlan, a nine-year-old boy, is a bit funny and looks very mature. Lin Baicheng thinks he is very suitable to play the leading role in "Home Alone".Of course, the classic in Lin Baicheng's heart is still the original version. After all, the original version is excellent, and the first impression is a plus. Whether Cameron Atlanta's performance is as good as the original version, he can't guarantee it now.

"The crew has already gone to Alaska, and the filming has just started for a few days."

Shirley Lansing said that Alaska is relatively cold. Although it is May, the temperature is still not high. Although there is no snow, snow can be produced, and the low temperature environment can produce the effect of Christmas.

"I'm very optimistic about the market prospect of this film. You have to pay attention to it all the time. There will be a trilogy in the future."

Lin Baicheng reminded again that the current filming of "Home Alone" is only the first part, not the trilogy.

Lin Baicheng's original idea was to shoot the trilogy together, but after Shirley Lansing's persuasion, he gave up the idea of ​​shooting the trilogy together, and instead shot the first part first.The reason why she agreed to it was because Shirley Lansing said that if the first part is a big hit, then the advertisement insertion of the subsequent two parts can make a lot of money, at least 2000 to [-] million US dollars, depending on the details of the first part. How much is the box office.

The reason why Lin Baicheng wanted to shoot the trilogy together was that he was worried that after the first film became popular, the actors took the opportunity to raise their salaries, and the increase was huge. If the trilogy was filmed together, without knowing the future of the film , the actor's remuneration is limited.

However, Shirley Lansing told Lin Baicheng that if the first movie becomes a big hit, even if the second and third movies have already been filmed, the actors will still ask for a pay increase. If they cannot satisfy them, they will definitely choose to sue the company. Go to court, then the next two films will not be released.Moreover, when the company has already filmed the next two films, it can only compromise with the actors, and cannot afford to delay, otherwise the production costs in the early stage will be wasted.

Therefore, Morning Star Films is now filming the first part of "Home Alone", but the main actors have signed a trilogy contract.Although after the first big hit, the actors will definitely ask for an increase in pay, but with the contract, the increase in pay will be limited, and it will not make the actors open their mouths.

"There is a producer watching over the crew, and I will go there every once in a while. The shooting time of the film is about a little over a month."

Shirley Lansing responded, although Lin Baicheng personally provided the filming funds for this film, the success or failure has nothing to do with her, and the company can't profit too much from it, but this is the film that her boss wants to shoot , she will definitely treat it as a film invested by the company.

For the first part of "Home Alone", Lin Baicheng invested 800 million US dollars for it, and Morningstar Pictures didn't invest a penny, but the distribution of the film was entrusted to Morningstar Pictures, and people contributed, so the film Morningstar Pictures can With 20% omni-channel profit share, if the film is successful, Morningstar Films can also make a lot of money.

The reason why he still does this when the company is still Lin Baicheng is because Lin Baicheng took out 10% of the shares of Morning Star Films as an incentive for the management, although the management has not yet got it, because the condition for the management to get the equity is To achieve a certain standard for the company's performance, the company's performance has not yet reached the level of equity incentives.

Because the performance of Morning Star Films is related to whether the management can get the incentive equity, it is not easy for Lin Baicheng to force Shirley Lansing to invest in the film he wants to shoot, because the management does not have Lin Baicheng's vision, and Lin Baicheng As a layman, they definitely don't believe Lin Baicheng's vision. Forcibly using the company's funds to invest will only make them complain.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng simply took out a sum of money to shoot the film himself, but packaged the production of the film to Morning Star Films and gave Morning Star Films a profit share, which would be beneficial to everyone.

Lin Baicheng learned about the situation of the crew of "Home Alone" from Shirley Lansing. He didn't make a special trip to Alaska. How the movie was filmed, you'll know when it's edited. It's useless.
