Silicon Valley

Warner's ceo Jeff Beeks was overjoyed when he heard this.

Henry smiled at this moment: "It just so happens that I have a script here that I want to shoot. If you want, you can invest in it!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts moved.

Jeff Bix asked first: "Oh, what kind of script?"

Henry smiled and replied: "It's a shipwreck movie. A big ship hits a glacier and then sinks... Um? The investment budget is probably more than 200 million U.S. dollars!"

"Two hundred million dollars so much?!! Oh, Mr. Williams, these expenses also include promotional expenses?" Jeff Bix asked in surprise.

"Not included,"

Henry said, "Just the production cost requires 200 million US dollars, maybe more, 300 million US dollars is also possible... You know, the works of Galaxy Movies must be fine!"

Jeff Beeks was very surprised. He asked, "How much is the production cost of "Jurassic Park"?"

"About $120 million..." Henry thought for a while.

As soon as Henry finished speaking, everyone fell silent. The investment in this movie is so much more expensive than "Jurassic Park", it may be difficult to recover the cost in the end! The reason for the success of "Jurassic Park", in their view, is that the subject matter has a great advantage.

People are curious about dinosaurs, so they are willing to pay. If they change to other themes, they may not be successful!

Shipwreck films have appeared in American movies, and the subject matter is not new...

"How about it, do you have anyone willing to invest?" Henry asked lightly.

Global CEO Lang Meyer asked seriously: "Mr. Williams, which director do you plan to invite to make this movie?"

"James Cameron!!!"

Henry laughed, "James Cameron once filmed "Terminator 2" for the Galaxy Film Company. I recognize his ability! I think it is the best choice to direct this movie by him!"

"Well, James Cameron is indeed a good candidate!" Adam Ferguson nodded.

Henry joked: "Yes, he is an expert at spending money. This movie needs a director who can spend money to shoot! How about, have you thought about it? A rare opportunity, I tell you!"

Everyone smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Williams, investing two to three billion US dollars, the risk is too great!"

"High risk, high return!" Henry shrugged indifferently. "Since you are not willing, then forget it, Galaxy Film Company will invest in shooting alone!"

In fact, Henry also knew that they would not invest. After all, investing such two or three billion dollars to make a movie is really crazy! However, after the movie "Titanic" is released, they should be jealous again. The box office is close to 2 billion US dollars, which is almost crazy!

Henry smiled silently, picked up a glass of red wine and tasted it slowly!

Compared with the six major Hollywood film companies, Galaxy Films has a far short history. Therefore, the timing of Henry's desire to acquire Time Warner is not very good! After the reception. Henry and Kelena stayed in the Chinese Theater for one night. During this period, Henry is considering speeding up the development of Galaxy Film Company. In the past, the number of films produced was too small and the film copyright library was not large enough. But fortunately, the distribution capacity of Galaxy Movies has been enhanced a lot during this period. Needless to say, the United States has IMDB theaters, and there are no problems with distribution. Many film companies are looking for distribution at home, and Galaxy Movies is commendable The company's overseas distribution capabilities have also developed by leaps and bounds, and established good cooperative relations with film distribution companies around the world!

In the future, movies may be released globally!

Henry was delighted by the development of Galaxy Films. But this time, Henry decided to invest in the production of multiple movies in one year, so that Galaxy Films could become a Hollywood movie giant as soon as possible! What kind of movies are both popular and well-known. You can shoot with the current technology again!

Henry thought for a while and came up with a lot of movies!

James Cameron is currently filming "True Lies". I am afraid that "Titanic" is not available for the time being. Henry decides to shoot again next year. Currently, he can shoot other movies first. Subsequently, Henry first came up with four movies!

The first is "Forrest Gump". It was released in 1994 and won six awards including the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director in 1995. The global box office was 670 million U.S. dollars and the production cost was 55 million U.S. dollars! If you don’t hurry, you will be filmed by another company!

The second is "Shawshank's Redemption", which was also released in 1994 and won seven nominations at the Academy Awards. Although the box office is not high, it has achieved great success in the home theater market and the rental market! Just like Zhou Xingchi's "A Westward Journey", the box office is not good, but it is too popular on VCD rentals and on the Internet! The impact is huge, it can be called a classic!

The third is the "Mission Impossible" series, originally released in 1996, Tom Cruise is one of the leading actors.

The fourth is "** Day", with a total box office of 810 million US dollars, and the production cost is only 75 million US dollars!

Henry started to act the next day after lingering with Kalena for a night. "Forrest Gump" is adapted from the novel of the same name published by American writer Winston Glum in 1986, and "Shawshank's Redemption" is adapted from "Rita Hayworth and Rita Hayworth" in Stephen King's "Different Seasons". "The Redemption of Xiaoshanke Prison" and "Mission Impossible" are based on the TV series of the same name broadcast on CBS TV in the United States from 1968 to 1973!

These three movies are all adapted, which shows the importance of copyright! If after getting the right to adapt these three films, Henry will give another oral narration, and then let the screenwriter write according to Henry's own words, the content of the script is similar to what he has seen in his previous life, and finally find an original director and lead actor. Shooting, then be sure of it!

"** Day" is much safer if only looking for Roland Emmerich. He is both a director and a screenwriter. He is simply a master director of disaster films. He has filmed "** Day", "Godzilla", "The Day After", and "2012". ""White House Down"!

In "** Day", the scene of the destruction of the White House in the film is really interesting, and it is so good! ! !

Henry then sent an e-mail to Bobby Robin, in which he wrote in great detail what he wanted to explain.

After Bobby Robin received the e-mail, he was surprised that the Galaxy Film Company was going to shoot four movies, and even the director and actors were determined! Bobby Robin was surprised by the chairman's maverick style, but every time his decision is correct, this is what surprised Bobby Robin the most!

Regarding the chairman's decision, Bobby Robin dared not defy, and hurriedly acted according to the plan, first to buy the right to adapt!

At this time, "Jurassic Park" has been fully released in the United States. After watching the movie, countless people were inexplicably excited, saying that the movie was too good to watch, and they wanted to watch it a second time, especially the dinosaurs in the movie, which are lifelike and true to life. It's so scary!

On the IMDB website, "Jurassic Park" scored as high as 9.3. In the comments, there are few people criticizing this movie!

Even if there is, it is overwhelmed by praise!

Many film analysts believe that "Jurassic Park" has a box office of over 100 million on the first day and a seat rate of 100%. Then the next day it will drop sharply, falling below 70%, but the facts are hitting them in the face! The seat rate on the second day of "Jurassic Park" was as high as 75%. It took another two or three days before the seat rate dropped significantly. By the seventh day, the seat rate dropped below 30%! Until then, the IMDB theater line began to rearrange the film, reducing the number of screenings and the number of screens of "Jurassic Park", increasing the film's occupancy rate and reducing waste, and the extra screens can be used to show other movies!

The first week has passed~www.readwn.com~ Naturally, the box office of the first week will also be released. The box office of "Jurassic Park" in the first week is 280 million U.S. dollars, which is the top box office of the first week!

The box office of "Earth Ambition" released on the same day was $14 million, which is 20 times different from the box office of "Jurassic Park" in the first week! ! !

Although "Earth Ambition" ranked second in the box office of the first week, it was ranked with "Jurassic Park", it is... Uh, it's a bit unsightly, the box office difference is 20 times, which is too embarrassing!

"Hollywood": "This week's movie box office finally came out, but the results are really shocking! The box office of "Jurassic Park" exceeded 280 million US dollars in the first week, breaking the world record once again and becoming a film in the history of the movie. The highest-grossing movie in the first week! The box office of "Earth Ambition" starring Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, which was released on the same day, looked bleak, at only $14 million! There is a 20-fold difference between this, which is a world of difference! Perhaps, at this moment, someone is already crying in the toilet..."
