Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 518 The Lord of the Rings Starts Up

After leaving the swamp, Xie Zihao saw that Melinda was still a little bit reluctant, he couldn't help being amused, but also sympathetic.He understood that this was because Melinda had no friends since she was a child.

"Why can't you bear it? You can communicate with that Ms. Dai through the mirror at any time..."

Melinda smiled embarrassedly when she heard the words.

"No, it's just that Misty makes people want to be close and pitiful. If she leaves the swamp, I'm worried that she won't be able to survive!"

Xie Zihao thought to himself that you guessed it right, in the plot, this guy got too involved with the Witch Academy and finally got the boxed lunch.

But he still smiled and comforted him:
"Then you just have to persuade her not to leave the swamp. A pure and ignorant person like this should not be polluted by the world."

"Well, I will persuade Misty. I think that Ms. Fox has a good personality, but with the drag of the Witch Academy, she will be in constant trouble, and her mother is not a safe character. If Misty spends more time with them, sooner or later she will be dragged down by these people..."

Xie Zihao was a little startled, he didn't expect his girlfriend to be so accurate in seeing people, and she only met once, and she basically told the general fate of these characters in the plot.

Should it be said that he is the original protagonist, a natural psychic ghost whisperer?

"You're right!"

Melinda smiled slightly when she heard the words, and she was not complacent, but asked:

"Lance, just now I saw that Misty gave you that kind of courtesy and called you Your Highness, what does it mean?"

Xie Zihao blocked the voices of the two, and explained:

"You should know that my way of cultivation is related to the gods, and I have a similar aura on my body, and the source of Misty's bloodline is the swamp witch is a kind of nymph. According to legend, nymphs will serve the ancient gods and demigods in Europe, so ..."

Melinda said with some surprise:
"So Misty regards you as a god?"

"That's right, but it's actually not wrong to say that. With the power I have, it's not an exaggeration to call it a god in ancient times. At least it is stronger than some totems and natural phenomena that are worshiped as gods. Those so-called Most of the gods have not even reached legendary strength."

Melinda also understood this truth, nodded and did not ask any more questions.

Back at the Witch Academy, watching Cordelia settle down the little witch, Xie Zihao didn't plan to stay any longer, and participated in the next thing, guessing that Fiona would not foolishly continue to murder other little witches, but Even if Cordelia learned about what her mother did from Madison, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything cruel.

The end result is probably Fiona leaving for a development.

But Fiona Goode was not a person who lived in the academy. If she hadn't fallen into old age and had a premonition that a new supreme witch was about to be born, she would not return to the witch academy, a place that made her feel boring, but He would hang out all year round in various occasions with young men and good wine.

Xie Zihao reached an agreement with Fiona Good, the supreme witch, to meet again later and go to the witch's treasure place for an official transaction.

Before leaving, he told Thelma a few more words, and then he and Melinda walked out of the magical range of the Witch Academy, and disappeared into the city of New Orleans.

Not only did she verbally reach a deal agreement with Fiona Goode, but she interrupted the subsequent development of the plot and basically solved the safety problem of Selma during her studies at the Witch Academy.

Also met a swamp witch, let Melinda make new friends.

As for the voodoo queen, Mary Lavin, Xie Zihao didn't think it was a threat. With the character of the other party, he hit a big nail when he attacked the Witch Academy, so he shouldn't dare to cause trouble again for a long time.

……

During the entire Christmas and New Year's holidays that followed, Xie Zihao's place was safe and sound, and when the second week after the new year began, the Lord of the Rings crew came to the notice.

Xie Zihao came to David Cole's company again, followed by agent James Berkley, and met Wei Dake and Sophia's father and daughter.

After the meeting, Wei Dake began to claim credit.

Through the lobbying of this great director of the century, the investors who originally had different opinions also chose to compromise, and set Xie Zihao as the actor of the elf prince, and Xie Zihao still succeeded in getting the opportunity to invest, paying 300 million pounds, accounting for one-fifth of the total investment.

Xie Zihao asked curiously:

"Is the investor so easy to talk to?"

This doesn't fit his impression of those capitalists!

Wei Dake couldn't help laughing and said:
"It's not that the investor behind it is easy to talk about, nor is it that my face is so easy to use. I can get the other party to take out 300 million with one sentence, but the investor decided to voluntarily give up this part of the investment share after internal discussions."

Without waiting for Xie Zihao to ask again, he took the initiative to explain:
"The film industry is a high-risk industry. After experiencing the golden age of Hollywood, the tastes of audiences, especially those on the North American side, have been spoiled. Even those Hollywood giants cannot guarantee Every film invested in is profitable. In fact, you only need to look at the financial reports of listed companies to know that more than [-]% to [-]% of the films invested and produced by most film companies lose money, and some even lose money. many."

Xie Zihao doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, but he also understands that there must be tricks in it.

"There must be other reasons? Otherwise, those film companies couldn't keep losing money without going bankrupt..."

"Of course, there are unavoidably some film projects that were shot and approved for other purposes. Even though they lost money on the books, those companies in the world have already recovered their costs through other methods such as filming costs and publicity costs. There are also some Movies aren't doing well at the box office, but video and TV rights are making money."

"However, such a box office record also proves that the risks of the film industry are difficult to predict. Among the several giants, which one has not experienced the messy experience of a big production that is full of confidence and then hit the street?"

"They don't have my foresight. The films that participated in the shooting and investment basically didn't lose money!"

Seeing Wei Dake talking triumphantly, Xie Zihao curled his lips secretly and complained in his heart, if you weren't a time traveler, you would have such vision?

It's just that it's not easy to expose him in front of this guy's daughter.

Wei Dake continued:
"Especially after two of them entered the 90s, they both fell into several big productions one after another, making the company shaky. The shareholders are looking for successors to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible. This makes these good Everyone in Hollywood giants feels insecure, and few have the courage to invest tens of millions of pounds in large-scale productions."

"If it wasn't for the Lord of the Rings project but the popular IP that has accumulated for decades, with fans all over the world, they wouldn't dare to invest millions of pounds in this big production this time."

"The news I got is that even if they invested money, they still lacked confidence inside the company. They were afraid that everything would be in vain. Just as I stood up and expressed your intention to participate in the investment on your behalf, the other party also took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey. Give up this part of the investment share to share the risk and financial pressure!"

"In addition, I also invested 100 million pounds. It can be said that I missed it this time with your blessing. Unfortunately, I may have acted too optimistic about this project, and the other party is not a fool. He insisted on this share and refused to spit out more. ,"

Xie Zihao heard the words and said:
"The combined share of the two of us is almost a quarter. When the movie is released, the income will be enough to double or double your 100 million. Go ahead and laugh!"

Wei Dake laughed stupidly. For being able to participate in Lord of the Rings and grab food from Hollywood giants, Wei Dake still has a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
