"Are you an alien?" After a full two hours, Xiang Feilong raised his head and asked in surprise.

Uh!
Shen Qiushan, who was studying the script of the TV series, was taken aback by the sudden question, then shook his head and said with a smile: "You have a big brain, do you want to make an alien script too?"

"No." Xiang Feilong didn't laugh, but said very seriously: "I spent nearly a year on the last script, but in front of your script, it is just rubbish as you said, but, you How many days?"

"I've been thinking about this script for a long time." Shen Qiushan didn't want to make Xiang Feilong suspect anything, and immediately explained: "Actually, this is a script I prepared for Qiu Ming to break into the international film world, but you really need a script that can break into the international film world now." I will show you the script that will hit the Oscars for the time being."

"For the younger brother?" Xiang Feilong subconsciously refused, he didn't want to steal from his younger brother, but he was very fond of this script, very fond of it, so he was really reluctant to let him give up.

Shen Qiushan couldn't see what Xiang Feilong meant, so he laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Long, the filming of "Operation Red Sea" was too hard this time. Qiu Ming just wanted to appear on camera again, so I wouldn't let him star in this movie." For movies, you need to combine work and rest, otherwise it will be too tiring."

"Thank you." Xiang Feilong nodded heavily, and his hand holding the script became stronger and stronger, "Just like the name of this script, this may be my 'peak moment'."

"It will definitely, but it will take a while to prepare. Whether it can catch up with this year's Oscars is really uncertain." Shen Qiushan has already calculated the time. As the upcoming film of Shen Entertainment, the script has already been prepared, but Preparations, negotiations with actors, negotiations with producers, announcements, and raising crews, etc., just preparing a film cannot be completed in a short time.

Yes, what Shen Qiushan prepared for Xiang Feilong was the film "Rush Hour" that established the status of Brother Long in the United States in the previous life.

A classic is a classic, no matter how many years later, the classic is still difficult to be surpassed, at least in Shen Qiushan's view, "Rush Hour" is a classic, whether it is the plot or the special effects, it will make people never get tired of it after more than ten years, and the most The amazing thing is that it is a complete combination of Chinese and Western, without any traces of hacking. It is not only popular in China, but also in the United States. At that time, it also squeezed into the North American box office chart. It can be called a miracle of Chinese movies.

"I'll start preparing now." Xiang Feilong couldn't wait any longer.

"Wait, wait!" Shen Qiushan hurriedly stopped Xiang Feilong.

"Why? Can we wait? I can't wait any longer."

"Let's be honest! The company has no money, so we can only wait." Shen Qiushan said helplessly.

"No money?" Xiang Feilong's eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Qiushan in astonishment, "The box office of "Operation Red Sea" in China is approaching 30 billion a week, and the box office in North America has exceeded 5000 million. You actually say you have no money? Don't tell me" The shooting cost of OPERATION RED SEA exceeded tens of billions."

"You don't know the theaters in China. The normal screening period is 40 days. After the film is off the shelf, there will be at least a one-month verification period before the box office will be credited. It will take at least three months." Thinking of that day Bibi can only watch, Shen Qiushan is also full of resentment when he hasn't got the box office yet.

The shooting cost of "Operation Red Sea" is definitely not the highest in China. Compared with the large-scale productions in the United States that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, the investment of "Operation Red Sea" can exceed [-] million U.S. dollars, but this is already all of Shen's Entertainment.

Now Shen's Entertainment has less than [-] million remaining in its books. This is Huaxia currency. It's okay to raise a small-cost movie, but it's completely impossible to shoot "Rush Hour".

It seems that the entertainment company is very profitable, Shen Qiushan will tell you that it is indeed very profitable, but it is not as prosperous as the media reported.

For a box office of one billion yuan, first of all, the theaters will share half or even 60.00% of the profits, and the tax revenue will account for 20.00 to [-] percent. In addition to the distribution company's profits, the producers will be able to share [-]% of the box office dividends. That's good enough.

Of course, even if it is 20.00% of the box office, if it is popular, it is enough for the entertainment company to make a lot of money, but if the box office is booming, it will be easy for the entertainment company to go bankrupt in minutes. This is the cruelty of the entertainment industry.

"I'm going to solicit investment." Xiang Feilong said decisively. "With your director Shen's reputation and my face, it is worth at least [-] million US dollars, so the initial investment is no problem."

Shen Qiushan shook his head and directly vetoed it, saying: "Even those guys from Huaxia Film Factory want to invest in the company or the film, I have not agreed, let alone other investments, Brother Long, don't worry, just wait!"

"You..." Seeing Shen Qiushan's direct and decisive refusal, Xiang Feilong wanted to refute, but seeing Shen Qiushan's insistence, he had no choice but to give up, "I don't need to count my salary in it. I still have some wealth, so I can lend it to you for free, that's fine, no matter what, this film must be made, and the protagonist must be me."

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, since the script is given to you, of course you filmed it." Shen Qiushan said with a laugh.

In a word, Shen Qiushan is of course happy to save a lot of expenses.

As an international superstar, Xiang Feilong's remuneration is also top-notch, probably more than [-] million this Chinese unit.

……

Yanjing.

Yida Plaza.

A long queue formed at the entrance of Yida Cinema again.

"There are no more tickets!" Looking at the ticketing situation on the computer monitor, Zhu Honglei was a little disappointed.Not only are there no tickets for the next show, but tickets for the midnight show have already been booked today.

"It's been seven days, and I haven't seen Uncle Shan's movie. I don't care, I want to watch it, I want to watch it." The little girlfriend on the side couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Zhu Honglei, you are a I don't care about trash, I must read it today, I must read it."

Zhu Honglei's head was huge, and he hurried to comfort his girlfriend: "Lily, it's not that I didn't care, it's that I can't help it. Uncle Shan's videos are so popular, it's hard to get a ticket."

"Then look for a scalper's ticket. Do you not love me anymore? If you love me, you can spend more money and buy a scalper's ticket." Lily stopped looking at Zhu Honglei angrily, and said anxiously, stomping her feet.

"Look, Lily, this is a military-themed movie. There is also a love movie next to it. It is a new movie by the famous director Liu Mengsan. How about..."

"No, no, no, I'll just watch Uncle Shan's movies. Compared with Uncle Shan's movies, other directors are rubbish. Even war movies, I'd like to watch Uncle Shan's movies." Lily insisted .

"That's right. The little girl is right. Uncle Shan is the guarantee of quality. It's true to watch Uncle Shan's movies. At least it's worth the ticket price."

"Little girl, you have eyes."

"Haha, I'm about to join one of my patrons."

"Uncle Shan's die-hard fan! If it wasn't for me watching "Operation Red Sea" for the first time, this ticket would be for you."

Although this Lily was a bit savage, her words made many fans who lined up agree.

In the same screening hall, these movie fans would rather wait in line here for tickets for the morning show tomorrow than go to the nearby screening hall to watch other movies.

Not only in Yida Plaza, but also in the first-tier movie theaters in China. This is the case almost everywhere. Only those movie theaters in second- and third-tier cities may occasionally find a ticket or two.
