"Tsk, $150 million, the first sci-fi film, it's really a big deal!"

"150 million US dollars, at least 450 million US dollars to return to the cost, that is to say, the domestic box office has to be 3 billion!"

"Didn't people find Spielberg to be the executive producer, which means that from the very beginning, they have been working on the world..."

At the exit of the Capital International Airport, reporters whispered discussions while stealing people from the city.

"What if he fails, you say?"

“… was ridiculed by the group, and then the orange stock price plummeted..."

A bespectacled man next to him replied casually, and then shouted, "... , Lu Xiaoran posted on Weibo!"

"Weibo, he's at the airport?"

"Report a few things: first, I won the Best Director at Cannes, I was quite surprised, because "The Dark Side" is a small movie that tends to be a thriller, but the judges can afford us, so we can't help but accept it; the second thing: I did negotiate with Spielberg, he will be the director and producer of "Gravity", and assist in overseas distribution; third: I have a lot of film projects at the same time, "Gravity" The special effects part will be done for at least a year and a half, so the release may have to be delayed until 2015, during which time I will direct several simpler films at the same time..."

After reading this Weibo, Yanzai got up and looked around: "He shouldn't be able to go through the VIP channel, right?"

"How is that possible, doesn't he expect us to report?"

After saying that, I'm a little weak-hearted...

Where does Lu Xiaoran still need media publicity, since he won the Best Director at Cannes, he has firmly occupied the first place in Weibo popularity, and even Big S's pregnancy failed to grab the headlines!

"It's coming! It's coming!"

A sharp-eyed reporter suddenly shouted and immediately prepared the microphone.

The peers crowded on both sides also set up long guns and short cannons.

Wang Jing was the first to appear, and after a few simple answers, he flashed.

Immediately Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi, the reporters asked briefly, took a few photos, and then several people surrounded Yan Bingyan and Tangtang.

"Mr. Yan, congratulations on getting the Cannes Film Queen, can you tell me how you feel now?"

"Mr. Yan, when will "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" be released?"

Sugar Candy was helpless: "... Don't get so close, leave some space for Sister Bingyan!"

The reporters ignored her at all, but fortunately, Yan Bingyan was in a good mood: "It's like a dream, I won the award for the first time I participated in the Cannes Film Festival..."

"When it will be released, it depends on the company's arrangement!"

"Let's rest for a month, I'm too tired..."

"For specific work, let's look at Tangtang's arrangement, she is now my boss..."

A group of people hurriedly looked at Tangtang, who explained: "Sister Bingyan has acting skills, qualifications, and her own connections, we are just helping to screen it, it is a cooperative relationship, and there is no such thing as who is the boss!"

Uh, Sugar Candy signed her...

Let her team up with Jiang Wu and take over the "Please Answer" series - the parents of iron beating, the daughter of flowing water...

A few reporters looked at the exit while asking, waited for a long time, and didn't see Lu Xiaoran's figure, and asked, "Where is Director Lu?"

"Oh, he didn't go all the way with us, he went straight to the United States!"

“… Go... What are you doing in the United States?"

"Sign the contract, the contract of "Gravity", you don't think we are just talking about it!"

……

Lu Xiaoran did fly to the United States, but his purpose was simply to accompany him, and the main negotiations were handed over to the staff.

By the way, look at the development of the North American branch ...

Wen Ziren reported on the work: ""Latent 2" has begun production..."

"Don't talk about this, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Wanda wants to buy Paramount!"

“… Paramount by Paramount Viacom?

"Hmm!"

Wen Ziren looked at Lu Xiaoran enviously: "You are really rich!"

"Walter, who's really rich?"

"Isn't Wanda your company?"

“… You think too much, I'm just a moviemaker, not a house seller!"

However, you can still be very far-sighted if you can regard me as the richest man, and it is only a matter of a few hundred chapters!

Lu Xiaoran continued: "I may not have time to direct "Killing God"..."

“… Do you want to do Gravity?"

"Well, I need to be wholeheartedly involved in that movie, not sloppy... Do you have a good director?"

"Lin Yibin!"

Lu Xiaoran shook his head without thinking about it: "He's too expensive!"

Wen Ziren nodded, indeed, after the "Vegetarian Chicken" series, Lin Yibin's worth skyrocketed to $8 million a play!

By the way, after the original time and space, after "Fast and Furious 7", Wen Ziren stopped playing directly, the reason is very simple, his relationship with Vin Diesel is very bad, so bad that Universal offered $12 million, and he didn't continue to direct...

"You help me keep an eye out for David Leitch and Anthony Foquaa, who should have the right style. ”

“ok！”

"Alright, I'll go first..."

“… Xiaoran, in fact, I also want to make a commercial film!"

"Yes, I wrote a bodyguard-themed movie called "Ace Bodyguard", you can shoot it and try it!"

"I'll see..."

……

"Ace Bodyguard" is indeed a film project prepared by Lu Xiaoran, this movie is not enough jokes, but it is also a decent action movie, with a production cost of 30 million US dollars, in exchange for 78 million US dollars in North America, and the global box office is close to 200 million US dollars...

The important thing is that it can be serialized!

And it can be released in the mainland!

Compared with horror movies, action movies are a good path for both China and the United States, but unfortunately, the North American market at this stage does not seem to be very interested in action movies...

In the original time and space, Wen Ziren has two movies, "Fast and Furious 7" and "Aquaman", which proved his talent in commercial masterpieces.

Orange obviously doesn't have enough resources for it to play, but as long as it is directed by Wen Ziren and has an investment of less than $50 million, he still thinks it's a head!

At the end of the negotiations, Spielberg's company, Amblin Partners, was responsible for the $30 million investment, sharing the global proceeds according to the proportion of the investment, and of course they would also help promote Gravity...

The promotion cost is not low...

Generally speaking, if Hollywood blockbusters want to sell globally, it is normal for investment and publicity to have a 1:1 ratio, which means that Orange needs to spend at least another $150 million to promote "Gravity"!

Fortunately, the two largest markets, the North American market and the Chinese market, are specifically responsible, and according to estimates, 50 million US dollars in publicity expenses are enough!

Even if it's $50 million, plus production, it's close to $200 million!

Damn, it's so stressful, if you can't do it, you will go bankrupt...

can only raise money, Lu Xiaoran will not be stupid to invest more than a billion to make a movie!

On May 18th, Director Lu returned to China and arrived directly at the company.

A group of people are worried about the film!

"The Return" will be released on May 15, what about "The Dark Side" and "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart"?

Released at the same time, and then hit yourself yourself?
