Chapter 253 Want to Destroy the "Fast and Furious" Series

At eight o'clock in the evening, Fu Luo, Huang Lei, and He Jiong gathered together again in the "Vulgar Taste" shop, this time not only for dinner, but also to discuss the variety show "Longing for Life".

"Mr. Huang, Mr. He, have you two really considered it?"

After Master Wang prepared the six dishes, Fu Luo asked about Huang Lei and He Jiong while eating the delicious food.

Hearing this, Huang Lei answered immediately: "Of course, why did I call you out? You are a busy person and you haven't seen anyone for months. If I didn't see the news today, I wouldn't even know you returned to the capital." , I just took advantage of this opportunity to make a preliminary decision on the matter first, and then start the preliminary preparations. I am full of enthusiasm in my heart, and I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"Okay, then let's make a decision! By the way, Mr. He, you have been exposed to many variety shows. Can you estimate how much it will cost to record one episode of our show? Mr. He, did you not eat at noon today? "

Seeing He Jiong who was concentrating on feasting and didn't know if he heard the voice, Fu Luo was a little speechless.

"Ha, the key is that the food here is so delicious, even better than Mr. Huang's cooking skills, I really can't help it..."

"Hey, I have to admit that Master Wang is a good cook, so don't come to my house for dinner in the future!" Hearing He Jiong's words, Huang Lei couldn't help interjecting immediately.

"Mr. Huang, don't make trouble... I estimate that the production cost of the first phase should be around 30. Of course, this is just the pure production cost, such as machinery and labor, and the cost of inviting celebrity guests has to be calculated separately."

After a little resentment against Huang Lei, He Jiong answered Fu Luo's question with eloquence.

"Hey, it's only 30? That's not much!"

This figure made Fu Luo a little surprised. He didn't expect that the cost of the first phase was much lower than he imagined. Even if the cost of inviting celebrities was added, based on the current market situation, the recording cost of this phase would be at most 200 million. That's enough.

Hearing Fu Luo's words, Huang Lei immediately began to tease: "Tsk tsk, Teacher He, listen to his tone, it's only 30...but it seems to be true, he, a big star, can get thousands of dollars for a movie. 30 is really not a big number."

"Yes, I envy the rich." Seeing this, He Jiong answered with a smile.

"It's useless to be envious of labor income. Let's talk about the cost of inviting celebrity guests. Set the total cost of the first phase at 200 million, and then except for the production cost, the rest of the money will be used to invite people. The two teachers think How about it?"

An X was installed unintentionally. If you really count, Fu Luo's current assets have accumulated to several hundred million, and this 30 is indeed a small amount.

"Will the 200 million be a little too much? We definitely can't hire those big stars, and it's not even a matter of money, so our target group should be positioned at second- and third-tier stars, and it's better to be familiar with them. This will make it easier for everyone to communicate.”

After pondering for a while, Huang Lei also cautiously put forward his own opinion.

"Yes, if the first phase costs 200 million, then the 2400 phases will be [-] million. The risk is indeed a bit high. Xiao Luo, I think we have to reduce the cost."

He Jiong finally put down the chopsticks in his hand and expressed his thoughts.

Here, after listening to Huang Lei and He Jiong's opinions, Fu Luo also began to ponder. He felt that he was indeed a little too violent. Traditional variety shows are still popular these days. It really costs 2400 million To invest in "Longing for Life", if he loses money, he may feel a little pain, but Huang Lei and He Jiong...

"Teachers, how much money do you think is more suitable?" After thinking for a while, Fu Luo simply left this issue to Huang Lei and He Jiong to decide.

"Should I cut it in half? I think 100 million should be about the same!"

"One million should be enough, and I agree with Mr. Huang's opinion."

"Okay, then this matter is settled!" According to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, Fu Luo is also a decisive person, and quickly nodded in agreement.

After the cost was settled, the three continued to discuss the investment share, and finally decided that Fu Luo would take half, Huang Lei and He Jiong would share the other half equally. Luo planned to hand it over to Guan Qingqing to follow up.

As for the filming of "John Wick" in the United States this time, he plans to take Jiang Xiaoyu there. This girl can basically stand alone now, and there is no language barrier, so it will be convenient to communicate with work problems at any time. .

…………

Three days later, New York, USA.

"Fu, this is Josh Duhamel, you should have seen it at the premiere of "Transformers" last time, this time he will play the role of Marcus in "John Wick", and This is Miss Gal Gadot, who is going to play the female killer Perkins."

In a professional shooting range, Michael Bay is introducing Josh Duhamel and Gal Gadot to Fu Luo.

"Hi Fu, it's a pleasure to see you again, and it's also a pleasure to work with you this time."

Before Fu Luo could respond first, Josh Duhamel stretched out his right hand to him. He knew that this was not only the leading actor, but also the investor of "John Wick". It's better to be polite. very necessary.

"I'm also very happy to work with Mr. Duhamel." Seeing this, Fu Luo responded enthusiastically.

"Fu, don't be too polite, just call me Duhamel!"

"Alright then, Duhamel."

In China, people generally like to call others by their first names, but in the United States, on the contrary, they basically call them by their surnames. In China, there are fewer surnames and more names, so they are called first names. In the United States, there are more surnames and fewer names, so they are called surnames. Heaping David, Jack, Tom, Alice, etc., this point is still very clear to Fu Luo.

He didn't expect that Michael Bay recruited Josh Duhamel, the "love general", into the crew of "John Wick" and played the role of Marcus played by Willem Dafoe in the original version. corner.

"Hello Fu, I'm Gal Gadot from Israel, nice to meet you!" Soon, Gal Gadot also offered his right hand to Fu Luo.

"Hello Miss Gadot!" Fu Luo also extended his right hand and shook Gal Gadot.

Speaking of which, when he saw this "Wonder Woman" appearing earlier, he was surprised. He didn't expect Gal Gadot to also join the crew of "John Wick". It can only be said that this fate is really magical. Remember this The girl's first electric shock movie should be "Fast 4", right?Now give the first time to "Quick Chase".

As soon as he thought of the series of movies "Fast and Furious", Fu Luo suddenly had a feeling that he wanted to destroy this movie. The box office of the series has accumulated more than 50 billion in China. It really makes people jealous, but it is not To be honest, it was going to be destroyed, he just wanted to use the good ideas in 5, 6, 7, and 8, and remake it into a new movie.

But there is no need to worry about this matter. "Fast and Furious 4" will not be released until 2009. Fu Luo has plenty of time to slowly operate this matter. Maybe he can indirectly save Paul Walker by doing so. Yes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

"OK, there will be professional personnel to help you with firearms training. I don't ask you to be sharpshooters. It doesn't matter whether you shoot accurately or not. The most important thing is to use various postures proficiently. You guys Do you understand?" Michael Bay continued after seeing that the three knew each other.

"Understood!"

Hearing this, Fu Luo, Gal Gadot, and Josh Duhamel nodded in response.

Here, Fu Luo would like to make a special statement. The director of the movie "John Wick" has changed from the original Paul Anderson to the producer and producer of Michael Bay, because the former suddenly withdrew from the project. , went to shoot some "Death Speed", and Michael Bay was so angry that he finally went into battle himself.

The director Paul Anderson is actually the director, producer, and screenwriter of the "Resident Evil" series, and this guy also married the absolute heroine of "Resident Evil" Milla Jovovich, and gave birth Two babies.

In fact, it’s fine for Paul Anderson to quit. If this guy makes “John Wick” into a horror movie atmosphere, then he’ll be a “dog leash”, although Fu Luo is also a little worried that Michael Bay can’t control his desire to explode. , but it is more suitable than the former.
