King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 287 Xiao Fan’s belated coming-of-age ceremony and the launch of a new movie

This celebration banquet made everyone jealous, especially directors and film and television company bosses.

Outsiders only think that Yu Hao is making money, making a lot of money. With so many box office, how much does Yu Hao get?

Although directors such as Feng Dapao didn't pay much attention to box office before, it was tens of millions. How could they not be jealous of hundreds of millions now? Even the duplicitous Poet Chen was jealous and thought about what blockbuster he should make. .

The envy and regret in the eyes of Xiao Wang and other film and television bosses have never stopped, and their hearts are almost bleeding. If Yu Hao can bring them together in this wave, how much money will they make.

At the same time, an idea came to mind - to attract big-name directors to join the company, and even pay a lot of money to win them over.

They don't need to be as big a hit as Yu Hao, just one tenth of Yu Hao's. Even if they only make two movies a year, it will be enough for them to make a lot of money.

Mr. Han took Yu Hao's hand with a look of regret and said, "Mr. Yu, you are not interesting enough."

The sour taste in his eyes almost choked Yu Hao to death.

Yu Hao said helplessly: "Uncle Han, let alone you, even I didn't expect this movie to have such a box office. Who would have thought that it would hit more than 400 million in my childhood. I can't believe it now.

When I first shot this film, I was aiming for awards. It cost me 50 million to build the city, 20 million to shoot, and about 10 million to operate, so that’s 90 million.

Do you think this kind of film has a high chance of making back its money? I never thought I could get my money back, but it unexpectedly exploded. I can’t believe it now. "

Mr. Han was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Indeed, according to common sense, I didn't like the movies and TV dramas of Han and Tang Ming when I was young. I didn't expect it to be like this this time. I really didn't expect it. The current situation dictates.

But do you have any ideas for your next film? This time I have to help our China Film Group earn some money, but you don’t know how difficult it is for China Film Group..."

Yu Hao said, dumbfounded: "Uncle Han, my next movie is going to be a thriller in Hollywood. It will be very bloody and violent. Do you think there is a market in Asia? Can it be released in China?"

Mr. Han was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "Your idea is correct. Winning the Golden Bear Award will have a certain influence in Hollywood, regardless of being unknown.

"Datang" should not be bad at the box office in Europe and the United States. It is estimated that the eight major cities in Hollywood will welcome you. The market for thrillers and horror films has always been good in Europe and the United States. If you qualify, it will be very helpful for you to knock on the door of Hollywood.

Tell me, how much do you plan to invest this time? If it is more, I will go back and discuss it. I estimate that they will most likely invest. You, Yu Hao, are the movable sign. "

Yu Hao recalled the investment and box office of "Saw" in its original history.

Yes, he planned to make "Saw", a horror movie that invested US$120 million and took 18 days to shoot, and ultimately won more than US$ million at the box office.

This film made James Wan a pillar of Warner Bros. The most important thing is that the follow-up box office of this series is not bad. He likes this kind of film.

But if he were to film it himself, he would definitely have to prepare more for the actors and actresses. An investment of US$200 million, or 1600 million yuan, is not excessive, right?

So he said with a smile: "The budget is about 1600 million, or a higher estimate of 2000 million. The difference should not be too big."

After hearing this, Mr. Han took a breath and looked at Yu Hao without seeing a trace of hesitation in Yu Hao's eyes.

Finally, he sighed with emotion: "You are really different from these domestic directors. When they are still considering an investment of several million or ten million, you are already investing in US dollars, and it is still an investment of tens of millions.

But I believe in your ability. Let's do this. I'll have a meeting with them to discuss it when I get back. Don't be impatient. You must give Uncle Han a chance. "

Yu Hao smiled and said, "Okay, if I set off, I will definitely call Uncle Han."

…………

At this time, in Yu Hao's villa, Jiang Qinqin was saying something to Xiao Fan: "Xiao Fan, are you an adult?"

Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then twirled his fingers and said, "It seems so, I didn't pay attention before."

Jiang Qinqin said dumbfounded: "Then have you ever received a call from your family?"

As her biggest killer, she pays special attention to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan stuck out his tongue, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It seems that my parents told me when I went home, but I didn't pay attention. I've been very busy recently, so I didn't pay much attention."

Jiang Qinqin said meaningfully: "Then you have a chance now. Mr. Yu is going further and further away, and most of us are destined to go further and further away."

Xiao Fan said with a confused look: "Isn't Mr. Yu always like this? Wasn't it like this before?"

Jiang Qinqin said meaningfully: "It's different from now. He has more contact with senior sister and Yuanyuan now, and his relationship with us has faded. I don't care. I know how much I weigh, but you have a great chance."

After saying that, he went upstairs with a melancholy look on his face.

In the past, Yu Hao would greet them if he had something to celebrate, but now... it has faded away, everything has faded away.

Even Jia Jingwen, who was the first to follow Yu Hao, did not receive this treatment, which made her very distressed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yu Hao will definitely go to Hollywood next. By then, the connection between them will become less and less.

Not to mention that the status gap between Yu Hao and them is getting wider and wider now. In the past, he could deceive himself and others, but now he only has a sense of urgency.

Xiao Fan was thinking about something thoughtfully, his eyes flickering around.

Jiang Qinqin was discussing something with a group of people who came from the villa. This time, almost everyone came, without any surprise, and everyone knew what was going on.

When Yu Hao and the other two returned home chatting and laughing, they saw the table full of dishes, and the girls looked at Yu Hao happily.

Seeing this, Yu Hao asked in confusion: "Don't you have work? Why do you have time to get together today? It's not easy."

When Jia Jingwen, Li Dabai and others heard this, they felt inexplicably heartbroken, but they still maintained their smiles.

Xu Qing and Gao Yuanyuan also noticed the atmosphere at the scene, their eyelids twitched, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Jiang Qinqin said with a smile: "Isn't this a good day for double happiness? Xiao Fan has become an adult this year, but she didn't have time to hold a coming-of-age ceremony before. How about we hold a replacement coming-of-age ceremony for her?

It just so happened that my junior brother's "Datang" made 7.8 million at the Asian box office, so we all rushed over to celebrate. "

Yu Hao's eyes lit up, he looked Xiao Fan up and down, and said with great satisfaction: "Okay, let's celebrate today."

Yu Hao said that he had absolutely no other thoughts and was really just celebrating.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Gao Yuanyuan took the lead in self-deprecating and said pointedly: "Brother, look at the number of us, have you ever considered other suitable movies?"

Hearing this, everyone was confused for a while, and then gave her a grateful look.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Yu Hao chuckled and said: "Okay, Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu Football" is about to start filming. I think Qinqin is more suitable for the protagonist in it. You can try it.

As for the others, just wait until I have established myself in Hollywood. If you are interested, you can all participate in my movie, one for each of you. "After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and the trace of unhappiness and grievance in their hearts disappeared.

There were not many people at the scene, including Gao Yuanyuan, Xu Qing, Jia Jingwen, Zeng Li, Zuo Xiaoqing, Li Dabai, Jiang Qinqin, Xiao Fan, Mrs. Kurosawa, and Huo Siyan.

Gao Yuanyuan and Xu Qing didn't need to think about it, nor did Li Dabai, Jiang Qinqin, Mrs. Kurosawa, and Huo Siyan. Jiang Qinqin just let her follow Zhao Zhetian's path, and the others focused on being secretaries.

The remaining Jia Jingwen, Zeng Li, Zuo Xiaoqing, and Xiao Fan will all have suitable resources.

As for other people in the company, let’s not consider them for now. We will consider them when we have suitable resources.

Jiang Qinqin said with excitement: "Thank you, junior brother. Thank you, junior brother. I will definitely not embarrass the company."

Others looked at Jiang Qinqin with some envy. Zhou Xingchi's movies were very popular, and many people were popularized by him.

Yu Hao said earnestly: "Don't slack off, since you want to make a movie, then work hard on your acting skills and don't embarrass me."

Everyone said in unison: "No, absolutely not."

That night, everyone had the foresight to leave Yu Hao to Xiao Fan. In the evening, after Xiao Fan carefully dressed up, he tiptoed to Yu Hao's room.

Looking at Xiao Fan in front of him, Yu Hao smiled and said, "Have you thought about it? It's still too late to regret it now. You know who I am."

Xiao Fan said firmly: "I've thought about it. I don't regret it. I know Mr. Yu's character very well."

After saying that, he untied Luo Shang. This night, there was an adult woman and a young girl was missing.

This excited Yu Hao so much, and with the blessing of the 19-year-old girl...

Three days later, Yu Hao reluctantly said goodbye to the girls, and with Xu Qing, Mrs. Kurosawa, Zhang San, Sun Cheng, and Chen Fan, they boarded a plane to Hollywood.

We got on the plane at noon and arrived in Los Angeles at 1 a.m. Beijing time.

In the afternoon, Yu Hao took Chen Fan to visit the location, Xu Qing took people to find a suitable shooting location, and Zhang San went to register the book and shooting terms.

Within two days, Yu Hao received an unexpected call: "Yu, my good friend, you are not interesting enough. When you come to Hollywood, how can you not find me, Harvey."

Yu Hao smiled and said, "Aren't you busy working on a new movie?"

Harvey laughed and said, "What a coincidence, so am I. I happened to take you to meet a big client, and he is very interested in you. If you can establish a relationship with him, you will have smooth sailing in Hollywood."

Yu Hao said with interest: "Then I'm looking forward to it."

Harvey smiled and said: "Then let's meet at the cafe on xx Street tomorrow. We will talk in detail when we meet."

Yu Hao smiled and said, "Okay."

The next day, Yu Hao took Chen Fan to a certain cafe and met Harvey and an old man.

After meeting, Harvey gave Yu Hao a bear hug, and then said with a smile: "Yu, my friend, you are so kind to give me such a big gift."

Yu Hao immediately understood in his mind that this was about "The Tang Dynasty", so he smiled and said: ""The Tang Dynasty" is China's first costume blockbuster after all, so I think it won't be too bad at the box office."

Harvey smiled and said, "It's really good. Yu, let me introduce you. This is Jack, a producer from a big company. Their company is very interested in your movie."

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Hello, I am Yu Hao."

Jack stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I know you, Yu from China is known as China's legendary director. "The Tang Dynasty" won the Golden Bear Award. I heard that the box office in Asia exceeded 100 million US dollars, and it is also good in Hollywood. "

Yu Hao smiled and said: "It's not bad, I'm not too disappointed."

Jack smiled and said: "I like you who are confident. I don't like your Chinese modesty. Tell me your story? If it's good, I will declare it to the company."

Yu Hao took out the outline of the script and smiled casually: "This is the prototype of the story."

Jack reached out and took it, and couldn't help but cheer up in his heart. There were many foreign directors who were cheated in Hollywood.

The young man in front of him is mentally prepared, but it is better to be cautious so that he can live longer.

After reading it, Jack raised his eyebrows and said, "I just saw a relatively complete story. It would be brilliant without it.

This shouldn't be the standard a Golden Bear Award-winning director should have. Yu, my friend, I guess you won't hide it from me, right? "

Yu Hao pointed at his brain and said with a smile: "Of course not, that's just my manuscript, the story is all here, no matter how you shoot it, it's all in it.

Scenes of horror, thriller, and suspense will be shot from a series of angles such as narration and flashback. I think the story will be very good. "

Jack's eyes lit up and he smiled immediately: "It seems that my friend, you still don't trust me. When you say this, this movie is more exciting than before. It sounds very interesting."

Yu Hao chuckled and said: "Aren't you afraid of being bullied? So some small means are necessary. I think Mr. Jack should be able to understand."

Jack squinted his eyes and smiled: "I do understand, but I don't know how much you plan to invest in this movie?"

Yu Hao chuckled and said: "I plan to invest 200 million US dollars, most of which will be spent on special effects and costumes.

I will also look for more suitable actors, and not all of them will be unknown actors. I don’t want my journey to Hollywood to be so careless. "

Jack's eyes were focused, like an eagle staring at its prey.

After a long time, he said in a persuasive manner: "Yu, you are not familiar with Hollywood. The shooting, editing, production, distribution, screening, etc. are very different from those in China.

This is also your first film. You are a complete newcomer to Hollywood. That "Datang" just took advantage of China's first blockbuster. This one is different. It caters to Hollywood and even the whole world. Movies with world tastes,

So, you have to make some compromises. Let's do this. You are responsible for shooting, our company is responsible for investment, editing, production, and distribution, and we will give you a portion of the dividends.

This way you don't have to take risks and can shoot without worries, which should be a good thing for you directors. This is the friendship I give to my friends. "
