Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1105 Disaster movie?
Lin Daoqiu didn't know that Isao Matsuoka had so many thoughts in his heart. The reason why he didn't make "Godzilla" was because the film took too long, and it took nearly four years to finish filming.

Although this movie is very profitable, for Lin Daoqiu there are so many movies that can make money, there is no need to continue to cling to "Godzilla".

Moreover, the resources to be invested in this film are a bit too large, almost [-]% of the manpower of the magic studio will be taken up. If it was two years ago, this proportion would be [-]%.

So Lin Daoqiu doesn't plan to make movies like "Godzilla" that consume too many resources before Magic Studio has really grown.

Looking at Matsuoka Isao with some regrets, Lin Daoqiu really has something to ask for help from the other party, or cooperation is not an exaggeration.

"For my next play, I want to cooperate with Dongbao."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said these words, Isao Matsuoka, who was a little depressed, suddenly became energetic.

"I don't know what Mr. Lin is going to shoot?"

"Big special effects..."

As soon as he heard it, the corners of Isao Matsuoka's mouth couldn't help but began to curl up uncontrollably.

The four words "special effect blockbuster" are nothing if they are spoken by others, but when they are spoken by Lin Daoqiu, the meaning is completely different.

"No problem, if possible, I hope Dongbao can also participate in the investment of this drama this time."

Just the box office of neon can no longer satisfy Isao Matsuoka, he has already started to imagine that he can go to Hollywood with Lin Daoqiu to earn US dollars.

But unfortunately, Lin Daoqiu shook his head directly and rejected Isao Matsuoka's investment request.

"Why? Does Mr. Lin feel that Dongbao has no strength to invest in your new play? Or do you think we are not worthy?"

Isao Matsuoka did not understand why Lin Daoqiu directly rejected Dongbao's investment request.

"Neither, because the investment in this movie is too high, and I'm worried that Dongbao won't be able to afford it."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this, Matsuoka Isao was not only not worried, but even more happy.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, Dongbao will do its best to assist you, as long as you are willing to give us this opportunity."

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu's pronoun at this time is the cash cow.

Although I don't know how much box office "Godzilla" will get this time, but the film cost 5000 million to make, Lin Daoqiu's harvest will be at least several times higher in the end.

For Neon alone, if "Godzilla" can reach a box office of 300 billion in the end, after deducting part of the expenses, he can get at least about 5000 million US dollars for the theater alone.

Moreover, the market for neon video tapes should not be underestimated, and Lin Daoqiu could earn at least 2000 to [-] million US dollars.

In the neon market alone, Lin Daoqiu can earn at least 6000 million US dollars in revenue, let alone in the North American market.

If this movie was originally funded by Dongbao and co-produced by Lin Daoqiu, then Isao Matsuoka would almost laugh like crazy now.

"The investment in this movie is about [-] million U.S. dollars. Chairman Matsuoka is really interested?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at the other party and asked.

Isao Matsuoka didn't even think about it, he nodded desperately.

"Dongbao is willing to invest [-] million U.S. dollars in this drama."

If possible, Isao Matsuoka even thought that Dongbao would provide all the funds for this film, but this is obviously impossible.

"[-] million US dollars can only be divided into [-]% of the global box office. Chairman Matsuoka is also willing?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this, Isao Matsuoka, who was still very happy, suddenly pulled his face down.

Investing half of the funds can only get [-]% of the return, which is obviously not something he can accept.

"Mr. Lin, isn't this ratio a little inappropriate?"

Matsuoka felt that Lin Daoqiu was joking with him, how could he agree to get such a small share after investing half of the money.

"So I have already told Chairman Matsuoka that if Dongbao wants to invest in this film, the risk is too great, and the ratio cannot be changed."

Lin Daoqiu is not short of [-] million US dollars. If Isao Matsuoka really wants to invest, then follow what he said, otherwise this matter will be avoided.

"Forty percent, I think forty percent is more appropriate, and Dongbao will provide all-round assistance to help Mr. Lin make this movie well."

Although Isao Matsuoka didn't know what kind of assistance Dongbao could provide, he still had to say so.

"Chairman Matsuoka, I'm very sorry, Universal has to take at least [-]% of the show's share, so if Dongbao wants to join, you can only get [-]% of the profit."

Lin Daoqiu's attitude is very firm, Dongbao can join if he wants to, but he can only give them [-]% of the proceeds at most, and it is on the premise of investing half of the production fee.

According to this calculation, the risk of Dongbao is indeed very high, and the profit of [-] million US dollars is only [-]%. Seriously.

Isao Matsuoka seemed very conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted to take the high-speed train of Lin Daoqiu, but on the other hand, the [-]% profit was too little, and he had no way of convincing the directors of Dongbao.

"Actually, I think that according to our long-standing cooperation method, it is the best way for Dongbao. Even if the movie hits the street by then, Dongbao will not have any losses."

Lin Daoqiu's words sound somewhat reasonable, but on the contrary, if the new show becomes a big hit like "Godzilla", then Dongbao will only get the box office of Neon.

"Mr. Lin, please let me go back and think about this matter, and I will give you an answer later."

Isao Matsuoka didn't want to make a decision on this matter now. He planned to go back and discuss with Dongbao before deciding whether to accept Lin Daoqiu's offer or reject it.

Lin Daoqiu just nodded for Matsuoka Isao's statement. It's okay if the other party agrees, or it's okay to refuse. He doesn't have much opinion.

The reason why we want to cooperate with Dongbao is because Lin Daoqiu plans to shoot the scene on the Neon side of this movie, and it is one of the main film sets.

And this time he is going to shoot a special effects movie, to be precise, a disaster movie with super special effects.

"Disaster movie?"

When Isao Matsuoka heard Lin Daoqiu's statement, his face was full of doubts. Do disaster movies need to spend so much money?
"Yes, a disaster movie, this is a disaster movie that no one has ever seen."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this, his face was full of confidence.

Matsuoka Isao didn't have any particularly outstanding disaster movies in his mind, so he couldn't understand what Lin Daoqiu said.

However, as long as Lin Daoqiu's new play maintains the standard of "Godzilla", Isao Matsuoka believes that there will be no problem at the box office.
