I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 250 One hundred million dollars is a dream

Siheyuan.

Under the gaze of two big stone lions, a man and a woman are embracing and parting.

"I think you are a bit too entangled in whether the movie is in Chinese, the reality is that you have to make money from foreigners, so it is inevitable to use English, and even use foreign actors.

This is a purely commercial film, which is aimed at the box office. It's not like "When Happiness Comes Knocking" for the purpose of winning awards, right? "

Seeing her boyfriend was silent, Yang Mi knew that he had listened to her own words.

Touched the brows of her boyfriend who didn't know when to frown, and smoothed them out:

"However, no matter what, I support you~ Sister Mi's man can also sweep the world by making a Chinese movie! mua~"

The girlfriend's brashness and wet face made Qin Muchu smile, wiped his face pretending to be disgusted, and waved to Yang Mi:
"Understood, let's go."

"What do you mean? Qin Muchu! How dare you dislike me? I am mua, mua, mua..."

After a burst of vengeful kisses, Yang Mi got into the car proudly like a fighting hen.

"Go, Little Di!"

Assistant Xiao Di, who had been bowing his head like a quail beside the car, raised his head when he heard Yang Mi's greeting.

He bowed slightly to Qin Muchu as a signal, and then followed Yang Mi into the car.

The car is brand new.

The luxurious and comfortable interior, as well as the spacious space where you can stretch your legs without any hindrance, are completely different from the cars equipped by the previous company.

"Miss, this car is not cheap."

In the past, Xiaodi had to worry about the driver in the front row when speaking, but now the front row of the driver's seat and the back seat are separated, and the communication device is used to communicate.

"I don't know, he didn't say how much it was...Maybe he doesn't even know it himself."

Thinking of Qin Muchu's carefree way of spending money, Yang Mi thought it was very possible.

"Miss Mi,"

Xiao Di suddenly approached Yang Mi and pointed to the front row blocked by the partition. Even though she knew that the front row could not be heard if she spoke loudly, she subconsciously whispered:
"This driver is so fierce."

"Brother Sun?"

Yang Mi also looked at the row in front of her.

Although the realization was blocked, a thin and serious face still appeared in my mind.

This is the new driver and bodyguard assigned to her by her boyfriend. The original one from the company has been returned.

"He is a soldier. He has just retired. He may be a little serious. It will be good if you get familiar with him in the future."

"Oh."

Hearing that the driver is a retired soldier, Xiao Di's nervous heart immediately settled down.

"Then he will go to Hengdian with us?"

"No, I don't need a driver and bodyguards when I go to Hengdian. I'm not that famous yet."

"Then this car doesn't go either?"

"Ah."

Yang Mi is quite sober.

She accepted her boyfriend's kindness, but as a starlet, she owns a caravan and a bodyguard, so she felt like a pig with green onions in her nose.

Not conducive to integration into the crew.

Miss Mi intends to make friends in the film crew.

Speaking of which, the protagonists of this drama have all cooperated with their boyfriends...

Watching the business car drive away slowly, Qin Muchu also returned to the courtyard.

I kept flipping through the script, and the storyline was already perfect, but it was not completed after all.

Because the actors are uncertain, to be precise, the race of the actors is uncertain, so the role setting, lines and the overall structure of the story have yet to be perfected.

He originally wanted to make a film with the lineup of the "All China Class", and even adapted the script based on the original version, but he hesitated in the end.

The reason is still the poverty of the Chinese film market.

Ten years later, he would use Chinese actors to act in this movie without hesitation, and the box office market of a single film worth billions would be enough to support his movie with a cost of more than 1 million U.S. dollars.

But now the box office record for a single film in China is only [-] million, and he created it.

This means that he has to consider overseas markets, especially the North American market.

The easiest way is to use actors who have appeal in the North American market.

It's not that China doesn't have such actors, Fang Loon and Li Lianjie are all, but they are all old and don't match the age of the characters.

Of course, it is not impossible to change the script.

But if the script is to be changed, it has to be changed a lot. After the change, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and the gain may outweigh the loss.

Apart from Fang Loon and Li Lianjie, China has no actor who can be named internationally.

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Muchu finally wrote "international" in the column of actors, looking at the whole world to choose actors.

Even if the actor is not from the Celestial Dynasty, but he is a screenwriter and director, it is easy to add some private goods to his own movie.

After some deliberation, the new role setting was soon made.

There are a total of eight protagonists in the group, of which two men and two women are the most outstanding characters. Qin Muchu plans to use Chinese actors for one man and two women besides the protagonist.

And he already has a candidate in mind.

The rest of the cast moved closer to the original.

The setting of the characters is determined, and some backgrounds and plots of the script have to be slightly changed.

In this way, a week passed without knowing it.

……

"Third Master, how about this script?"

Qin Muchu handed over the script.

Sitting opposite is the head of the Chinese film industry.

After the script was written, Qin Muchu immediately took the notebook to visit Han Sanye. After all, such a large investment could not bypass China Film.

It's not that he can't bear the investment of more than 1 million US dollars, but he will eat it very reluctantly. In the end, he will not be very comfortable whether the movie earns or loses.

"Okay, you sit down first, I'll take a look."

Han San didn't have much airs either, so he read the script when he put on his glasses.

Qin Muchu responded, and had time to look at Sanye Han's house.

It is an ordinary or even dilapidated small building with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. It has obviously been renovated for a long time. The white paint on the walls has yellowed and has many stains due to the erosion of time.

It should be a house assigned by the unit.

……

After a long time, Qin Muchu had already drank four or five cups of tea, and Sanye Han finally said:
"Xiao Qin, you have to use a lot of special effects to make this movie, is it a sci-fi movie?"

"Yes, I watched "Iron Man" before, and I was very impressed. It can make fake ones so real." Qin Muchu replied.

"Yes."

Third Master Han also sighed.

As the leader of China Film Group, he holds the right to import overseas blockbuster films. He has seen and reviewed all Hollywood films.

"The plot of "Iron Man" is just like that. We have better stories than him. Which one is not better than "Journey to the West", "Fengshen", and "Liao Zhai"?

But this special effect is obviously fake, but it makes you feel like it's real.but we...

Xiao Qin, you also have a special effects company, do you think the gap is really that big? "

Qin Muchu was not surprised that Mr. Han knew that he had a special effects company, and the special effects of "A Chinese Journey to the West" were made by his company.

He thought about it and said:
"Actually, the gap is not particularly big. Many special effects in Hollywood are outsourced. In the past two years, we have begun to outsource the business to us Chinese people. Our company has received orders from Hollywood because Chinese labor is cheap.

But this does not mean that we can independently complete the production of Hollywood-level special effects. Basically, what they outsource is simple but time-consuming, which can be understood as physical work.

In terms of real core technology, they are all made by themselves, and they are well hidden to prevent the technology from spreading.

I don't know about other companies, but my company can't produce Hollywood-level special effects except for a few special effects, and other special effects are no worse than Hollywood. "

Speaking of this, Qin Muchu felt a little helpless.

He also had the idea of ​​spending a lot of money to recruit the backbone of Hollywood special effects companies, but Hollywood also attaches great importance to this kind of team, and it is basically impossible to find it.

Moreover, people also know the truth of "the cunning rabbit is dead and the dog cooks", and if they are dug up, they are probably "respecting their talents" and will not hand over the real technology.

In the end, I had to give up this idea.

"Oh, let's not talk about this."

Han Sanye put away his sad face, this is not something that can be rushed out in a day or two.

Holding Qin Muchu's script, he said with a smile:
"Xiao Qin, you gave me a surprise, if you don't shoot, you don't shoot, and once you shoot, it becomes so big.

The cost of your movie should be the highest in China, and even in the next ten years, there may not be any that can surpass you. "

The cost of at least 7 million U.S. dollars, according to the current exchange rate, is more than [-] million yuan.

This is unbelievable in the current celestial dynasty.

But Qin Muchu shook his head, he didn't feel honored.

Movies with a cost of [-] million US dollars are unheard of in China, but they are very common in Hollywood, and they are not considered top-level productions.

If it is true as Han Sanye said, the production cost of Chinese movies in ten years will not reach the level of Hollywood today.

This is sad.

"In the future, the film market will become more and more prosperous, and we will have more blockbuster films."

Han Sanye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said:

"Okay, okay, let's see you young people!"

After a pause, he got to the point:
"How much do you want China Film to cast for this movie?"

Qin Muchu didn't expect Sanye Han to ask such a question, and asked tentatively:
"Can I think it will come true?"

Unexpectedly, Sanye Han waved his hand:
"You can cast as many as you want, but you can't cast all of them.

The main battlefield of your film is in North America, so you have to recruit a Hollywood company, a Sino-foreign joint venture, otherwise you won't be able to get in. "

As he spoke, he seemed to have remembered something and smiled:

"Last time you stole a chicken in "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door". If you want to release the works directed by you in the future, people will have to guard against you, haha."

This is the same as the import of foreign films, which is the same as China Film Group. If you don’t give it, then don’t even think about it.

Qin Muchu touched his nose.

For the release of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" in North America, he randomly found a small company in Hollywood. The production cost of this kind of film was only hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just a symbolic collection of [-] US dollars, and there is no share, so I still feel that I have earned it.

But who would have thought that the box office would explode.

It exploded more than 100 times.

The hearts of capitalists are about to regret, and there is no such high rate of return for doing anything.

After thinking for a while, Qin Muchu gave his investment allocation plan.

"Third Master, I'll leave Hollywood to you, and I'm not familiar with it.

As for the proportion of investment... In this way, to be honest with this film, with such a high cost, I can't guarantee whether it will win or lose.

Let's use 7000 million U.S. dollars as the calculation, I will contribute 3000 million U.S. dollars, and you can discuss with Hollywood to share the remaining [-] million U.S. dollars. If you think the risk is too high, I can invest more. "

Han Sanye looked very surprised:
"Your company still has so much money? "Kung Fu" is more than 7000 million, and the [-] million US dollars is more than [-] million."

"Not now, but the preparation of the film will take several months. I plan to shoot the film wherever it can be shot. There are a lot of things to build, otherwise the cost will not be as high.

When everything is ready, the box office share of my previous movie should have almost arrived, and that's about it. "Qin Muchu replied.

The cost of [-] million US dollars for a movie is not used all at once when the movie is first shot, and it is used while shooting, so he is not in a hurry at all.

Even if the later costs exceed expectations and the box office of "Iron Man" arrives, he still has the money to make additional investments.

Sanye Han thought for a while about the box office of several movies invested by Qin Muchu this year, and it seemed that it was really as he said, so he couldn't help sighing:
"Your company has made more money than China Film."

In terms of size, China Film Group must have completely exploded towards Qin Muchu, and the two are not at the same level at all.

However, China Film publishes and invests in dozens of films at home and abroad every year, some of which make money and lose money, and the money they make basically makes up for the holes in the losses.

"Hey, isn't my profit the same as China Film's profit?" Qin Muchu smiled playfully.

He is also right, basically all his films will be invested by China Film Group.

Sanye Han also smiled:

"Not necessarily, the movie "Iron Man" only earned a domestic distribution share..."

"It was pure luck. I hit it. Next time I have this opportunity, I will definitely not forget our China Film Group."

Qin Muchu immediately expressed his opinion.

Sanye Han pointed at Qin Muchu, and laughed and cursed "Slippery".

Soon back to normal:
"Xiao Qin, what do you think about the theater chain that I told you last time? It doesn't seem to be profitable in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely be profitable.

The policy just released this year is to increase the number of screens, and movie theaters will definitely make more and more money in the future. "

Qin Muchu nodded.

He understood what Han Sanye said.

Speaking of it, a movie theater chain is the most profitable party. Its theaters only need to provide venue services to get half of the box office.

And the theater chain can also decide the schedule of a certain movie in its theaters, which can be said to have caught the culprit of filmmakers.

"I understand what you mean, I must have done this.

But I don't understand business matters. Later, I told the person in charge of our company that this matter will be handled by her, and I will pay as much as I want. "

At the end, Qin Muchu raised his teacup, replaced the wine with tea, and added:
"Third Master, thank you for this."

Anyone with a little foresight knows that the theater chain will surely make money in the future, so this big cake is not something that anyone can eat.

Sanye Han is willing to take him with him. This is a kindness. He can't just pretend not to know if others don't tell him.

Sure enough, after hearing what Qin Muchu said, Sanye Han became more satisfied with his eyes and smiled all over his face:

"Let's not talk about this, your aunt went to buy vegetables, stay for a meal at noon, and try your aunt's handicraft..."

……

Qin Muchu blushed and returned to the courtyard.

At noon, I had two drinks with the third master. I thought it was okay at the time, but was driven back by the driver of the third master Han. After such a bumpy ride along the way, the alcohol started to pick up.

The driver carefully helped Qin Muchu into the bedroom, panting and sweating profusely.

It is indeed a bit reluctant for him to support Qin Muchu, who is 1.7 meters and five meters tall, in his early 1.8 meters.

This is due to Qin Muchu's thin body, otherwise he might not be able to handle it alone.

But he is just a driver, and he should leave after delivering people. Taking care of Qin Muchu is not within the scope of his duties...he needs to pay extra.

Put Qin Muchu on the bed, wiped the sweat from his brow, and asked:
"Director Qin, how about asking your assistant to take care of you?"

"No, no assistant."

Qin Muchu said in a daze.

Barely opened his eyes and recovered a little sanity:
"You go first, thank you, me, I'll be fine after a while."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again.

When Qin Muchu said so, the driver didn't dare to leave. He couldn't bear the responsibility if something happened later, so he said:
"You'd better make a phone call. If you don't have an assistant, what about your friend? Find a friend to take care of you."

"Friend, friend, okay."

Qin Muchu was confused, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, made a call, and waved to the driver:
"My friend will be here in a while, you go back first."

……

Bay Province.

Taipei City.

Zhou Jiaolun just came out of the recording studio, before he had time to ask how it was, he suddenly found that everyone looked at him very strangely.

"what happened?"

Zhou Jiaolun touched his face subconsciously, and then looked at his clothes, especially the zipper of his trousers, but found nothing wrong.

"You kid is a bit fancy."

Fang Wenshan stepped forward and gave Zhou Jiaolun a circle on his chest,
"Tell me, whose child is it?"

Zhou Jiaolun was dumbfounded.

what kid?
"What are you talking about?"

"Just pretend, your son is calling. It's wrong to have an illegitimate child. Who is the mother of the child? The child is innocent. You can't give him a complete family. At least you should give him a father's love, right?"

Liu Genghong, who came here to play, also came over and poked Zhou Jiaolun's chest one after another, making Zhou Jiaolun retreat steadily.

"What illegitimate child, where did I come from, don't talk nonsense! I also have a temper, okay?!"

Zhou Jiaolun angrily knocked off Liu Genghong's hand.

It's okay to bully him usually, but now he's pouring this kind of dirty water on him.

It's too much!
"Just now someone called with the note 'good son', you still don't admit it?"

Liu Genghong put the "evidence" in front of Zhou Jiaolun.

Zhou Jiaolun looked at the phone, suddenly understood, and took the phone down:

"What, that's Xiao Chu, you know him, if you don't believe me, look at the number."

Liu Genghong took the mobile phone back, and took out his own mobile phone to check the number, it was true.

"How did you remark 'beautiful son'?"

"He was."

Zhou Jiaolun laughed.

Liu Genghong shook his head,
"You are really not afraid of being beaten to death."

As he said that, he planned to return the phone to Zhou Jiaolun, but suddenly thought of something, took the phone back, and clicked a few times.

His face darkened visibly.

The thick arms that have been exercising all the year round hooked Zhou Jiaolun's neck, and put the mobile phone in front of his eyes, with a sinister smile:

"You'd better pray that this 'silly son' note isn't my phone number, or you'll look good today."

"..."

Cao Lun, I'm afraid I'm going to die in the recording studio today.
