King of soft rice

Chapter 1752 - [-] million investment

After Zhai Nan finished speaking, Zheng Guohao was about to slap the table, "Zhai Nan, what are you doing? You don't think [-] million is enough for just one romance film!"

Zhai Nan nodded calmly and said, "Not enough, definitely not enough!"

In Zhai Nan's memory, the production cost of "Titanic" filmed in 9000 was US$[-] million.Counting the inflation in the past few years, [-] million US dollars is definitely not enough.

The most important cost is to perfectly reproduce the scenes of the Titanic.It will take more than half of the time to perfectly reproduce the cruise ship.

Cameron said in astonishment: "Then how much do you think is enough?"

Zhai Nan thought for a while and said, "At least [-] million US dollars, if it is less, this movie cannot be made!"

Zheng Guohao couldn't help widening his eyes when he heard the words, and then said in Chinese: "You are a lion! [-] million U.S. dollars, you are crazy about money!"

Zhai Nan waved his hand and said, "I just estimated the cost, and I'm telling the truth. It's fine if you don't agree."

Zhai Nan's estimated cost is actually not very high.If the inflation rate from [-] to the present is calculated, the required investment must be more.

Zhai Nan, as the director, will try to reduce the cost as much as possible, so he gave a price of [-] million US dollars.

After all, "Titanic" is not a sci-fi movie. If it is a sci-fi movie, with the development of technology, the production cost will only be cheaper.

But "Titanic" is not a sci-fi movie, and there is no need for those gorgeous shots in sci-fi movies.More is the reproduction of the cruise ship, as well as the costume props of that era and so on.

These costs will not decrease due to the development of technology, but will continue to increase with the precipitation of history.

So Zhai Nan's proposed investment of [-] million US dollars is actually very polite.

Facing Zhai Nan's words, Cameron pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhai, your asking price is too high. I have to think about it. After all, I'm just the person in charge of the project, not the one paying the money."

Zhai Nan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, if you don't want to do it, you can withdraw your capital at any time."

Zheng Guohao kept blinking at Zhai Nan when he heard the words.

Zhai Nan remained unmoved and continued to stick to his position.

Cameron nodded, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhai, do you think this movie can make money?"

Zhai Nan asked with a smile: "What is the current global box office record?"

Cameron thought for a while, and replied: "Ten years ago, the science fiction film "Cosmic Wars" directed by Nathan had a global box office of 16 billion U.S. dollars, with a total cost of 7000 million U.S. dollars."

Zhai Nan replied: "I said I can surpass him, do you believe me?"

Cameron couldn't help being slightly taken aback, not knowing how to answer.

Zhai Nan smiled, "Let's do this. I think you know about my bet with Charles, right?"

Cameron nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Zhai Nan smiled and said, "Just wait and see the result!"

Cameron couldn't help being taken aback, "Mr. Zhai, what do you mean, you can win?"

Zhai Nan smiled and said, "Do you think I will lose?"

Cameron smiled noncommittally, and said, "Then I'll go first, and I will contact you again when there is a result."

Zheng Guohao asked quickly: "What about the contract?"

Cameron replied: "I believe you will not breach the contract." After speaking, he waved his hand and said goodbye to everyone.

After Cameron left, Zheng Guohao couldn't help complaining: "Zhai Nan, what the hell are you going to do! Just this movie, you can spend [-] million US dollars, you are kidding me!"

Zhai Nan said slowly: "This is just my estimate. The actual cost may be more, and I can't say for sure."

Han Xia also said: "Xiao Nan, I also feel that this asking price is a bit high! Even Ramon Pictures, it is impossible to agree easily."

Zheng Guohao clapped his hands and said, "It's more than a little high! In the history of global movies, there is no movie with such a high investment."

Zhai Nan replied: "Don't worry! If Ramon Films doesn't agree, we can shoot it ourselves!"

Zheng Guohao grinned and said: "You must be sick! Take pictures by yourself, how can we have so much money!"

Zhai Nan smiled, "There will be bread and milk, so why worry! Hey, eat here tonight, I'll make it for you myself!"

Zheng Guohao snorted softly, "I'm full of your anger." After saying that, he left angrily.

Zhai Nan watched Zheng Guohao leave without stopping him.

Han Xia said, "Do you want to persuade him?"

Zhai Nan waved his hand and said, "No, he's angry now, and he won't listen to what I said." Then, he picked up his mobile phone, "I'll call my colleagues in the company and tell them to come over for dinner at night. When the time comes Old Zheng has also calmed down, and I am talking to him."

Han Xia nodded upon hearing this.

Zhai Nan called Roger directly and told them to come over for dinner after get off work.

Later, Zhai Nan took Han Xia to the supermarket to buy ingredients.

In the evening, Zhai Nan prepared a sumptuous meal, and a large group of Luo Jie, Zhai Dong, Cao Charlie, and Fang Wensheng all came together.

As for Zheng Guohao, although he was a bit reluctant, he was still pulled over by Roger.

Everyone looked at Zhai Nan's delicious food, and they were full of praise.A few ethnic Chinese ate the delicious hometown food, and they almost didn't shed tears.

Although Zheng Guohao didn't eat less, he also didn't drink less.

After everyone finished eating, Zhai Nan called Zheng Guohao upstairs to the study while everyone was chatting.

Zheng Guohao held his wine glass and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

Zhai Nan said slowly: "Old Zheng, we have been cooperating for a while, do you still not trust me so much?"

Zheng Guohao pouted and said: "I want to believe you, but it's [-] million US dollars! My boss, if we lose this, our company will take part in it. Our company is still developing. If you play such a big project, it is easy to put us I'm playing to death!"

But Zhai Nan said: "Old Zheng, you are good at everything, but there is such a problem."

Zheng Guohao asked: "What's wrong with me?"

Zhai Nan said directly: "Count!"

Zheng Guohao immediately stared, "You're the one who is cowardly!"

Zhai Nan explained: "You coward is different from ordinary cowards. Back when we had nothing, we were all barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and dared to do anything, which established Marvel. But Now that Marvel has made some achievements, you start to be afraid. The fighting spirit back then is all gone, so I say you are cowardly!"

Zheng Guohao was also slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Zhai Nan followed up and said: "When you were in Xiangjiang, you were like this. Being in a high position, you were timid when doing things. Now you are the same as when you were in Xiangjiang. Seeing that Marvel gradually stabilized, you lost the spirit of fighting. Old Zheng, to put it bluntly, if you are still like this, I dare not let you be the president anymore."

Zheng Guohao immediately drank the wine in the glass, and said to Zhai Nan: "Don't provoke me! I know what you think! It's nothing more than provocative methods, I don't believe it."

Zhai Nan said unhurriedly: "Aren't you an aggressive general? You want to go! When you were poor and white, you dared to do anything. Now that you have accumulated a little bit, you are timid."

Zheng Guohao immediately said: "Who said that I am timid! I have considered the worst result!"

Zhai Nan said directly: "The worst result is to return to the original shape. We were like this in the first place. What are you afraid of?"

Zheng Guohao was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and looked at Zhai Nan, "But you want an investment of [-] million yuan, what if Ramon Pictures refuses to give it?"

Zhai Nan laughed and said, "Then let's do it ourselves!"

Zheng Guohao grinned and said, "Get out! The money to buy the house is all from me temporarily. Where did you get the [-] million!"

Zhai Nan smiled and said, "What if I say I have it?"
