Chapter 862 - The International Director Who Spends Money Like Water (Three Watches)

Many people are Chu Liuxiang's book lovers.

But his recently published "Jurassic Park" has not sold well in China.

Since its publication in mid-August, 7 million copies have been sold "only" in two months.

This achievement, which any other author would be ashamed of, is an out-and-out slight failure in Mr. Chu Liuxiang's books.

Not to mention the best-selling "The Gift of Room No. 7", the regular edition, the refined edition, and the collector's edition together have all sold more than 100 million copies.

Let's just say that "The Story of Little Eight", which was assembled and published after the Spring Festival this year, has also sold more than 70 million copies so far.

There are many reasons why sales are "bad".

"Jurassic Park" didn't have any warm-up before, and it was a bit of a sci-fi adventure story, which was completely different from the warm or profound social problem stories written by Mr. Chu Liuxiang before.

The fans of the two do not overlap much.

Many people don't buy it after seeing the reviews.

However, this does not prevent the best-selling of "Jurassic Park" in Taiji and Japan, let alone the popularity of "Jurassic Park" in Europe and the United States.

Taiji Guo and Riben are because they admire Chu Liuxiang very much, so as long as Chu Liuxiang writes a book, they have to read it.

Moreover, "Jurassic Park", as a sci-fi thriller, is very good-looking in itself, and they have a strong reading habit, of course they can accept it.

This is especially true in Europe and the United States.

This story of dinosaurs and scientific research, this terrifying atmosphere and effect, just hit their hearts.

The fact that New York X has been in the top 10 best-selling charts for two consecutive months is a testament to its toughness.

You know, the books that can be ranked in the top ten on this list are all written by super masters.

Chu Liuxiang is a foreigner, and he is Chinese, and he can be directly on the list, which is definitely a great achievement.

Carlomberg was not at all surprised.

He didn't even look at the public's reaction, as early as August when he watched the trial print of "Jurassic Park", he had already signed a contract, and as the producer and director of the film version of "Jurassic Park", he began to make preliminary preparations.

As one of the top directors in the United States, Carlenberg certainly has his own set of teams.

With $100 million in start-up capital in hand, he is certainly not stingy at all.

As soon as he came up, he threw $10 million at a special effects company and asked them to make some models of dinosaurs.

The size, appearance, etc., should be the same as the real thing.

Shen Huan listened to the report of Weibao Film and Television, and was a little frightened.

When Spielberg made "Jurassic Park" in the 90s, it was because there was no excellent computer technology at that time, so he made a large number of dinosaur models.

But now computer technology can fully support making dinosaurs, and post-production special effects can make up for all the effect defects.

Instead, Kellomberg insisted on making a model of a dinosaur because he said it would make it feel more realistic.

All right.

You're the director and producer, and you're up to the crackers.

Shen Huan thought that he and the truck driver had almost experienced, almost stubbornness, and similar talent, so he decided to endure it.

When the truck driver made "Titanic", he forced two of the seven Hollywood giants to almost go bankrupt, forcing the producers of the two giants to be disheartened and want to jump off the building to get out.

Carlomberg isn't there yet.

In fact, Calomberg is really more exciting than Shen Huan imagined.

Not long after this, in early September, two Hollywood special effects giants had already received orders from him, each with almost 20 million US dollars.

Two giant companies, one is doing motion capture special effects, and the other is focusing on large and complex scene special effects.

Carlomberg gave them his needs and the renderings he had drawn in advance, so that they could prepare in advance.

And that's not all, Carlomberg is also going to charter an island to make a film on the spot.

After all this calculation, there is basically no production yet, and the $100 million is almost half spent.

When he saw these bills, Zhou Dou couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and said to He Yuchang beside him: "Fortunately, Shen Huan didn't agree to co-production, otherwise even we would feel distressed about this investment!"

"Isn't it?"

He Yuchang smoked a cigar and said with a smile: "According to Carlomberg's habit of being lavish, how can 100 million US dollars be beaten? At least 150 million, or even more...... Tsk, a movie can come up with more than a billion yuan, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang are really cowhides!"

"Who called people to be popular and have so much money?" Zhou Dou sighed, "Now is different from the past! With those Internet companies to intervene, our traditional film and television companies can't compare at all!"

Zhou Dou is talking about the mountain and sea net.

Shanhai.com's remuneration to Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng is simply unimaginable in the film and television industry.

Lu Xiaofeng starred in a "Young Di Renjie", and the salary he received was 50 million, setting a record for an actor's sky-high salary!

Even a few months ago, they actually used 1% of the shares to obtain Chu Liuxiang's 10-year cooperation permission.

Shanhai.com has not yet been listed, but it has reached an ultra-high valuation of 120 billion US dollars.

1% of the shares is 1.2 billion US dollars, 8.4 billion yuan.

This sum alone is equivalent to one-third of the wealth of Zhou Dou, who has struggled all his life, and it is already higher than He Yuchang's net worth.

So Fengxiang Film and Television came up with 150 million US dollars, and there was no pressure at all.

"Not to mention this, we have the distribution rights, but it's also a good thing, this movie has a lot of box office potential, at least in Europe and the United States. He Yuchang waved his hand, "Carlomberg is urging the heroine to join the crew, who is Shen Huan chosen?

"Not for now. Zhou Dou shook his head and said.

"Shouldn't he choose his little girlfriend again?" He Yuchang frowned and said: "With Shen Huan, Bu Yiyi really has a soaring posture! It's a pity that there is not much cooperation with us!"

"It's not Bouyi. Zhou Dou said, "Originally, Teacher Chu Liuxiang wanted to choose Chen Qian, but Chen Qian was filming "The Story of Little Eight", and she couldn't leave at all. Buyiyi is also filming "Huanzhu Gege 2", and he also can't accompany Carlomberg for half a year. ”

"They're just going around among a few acquaintances! I'm not afraid that they'll be able to eat and hold on!" He Yuchang said with envy on his face.

Zhu Mei, Guo Hang, Chen Qian...... These second- and third-rate talents, who were not famous at all, have now grown into existences that they must respect.

When he was waiting for the others, why didn't he think about dealing with Chu Liuxiang?

What a mistake!
