"Are you an alien?" Xiang Feilong raised his head for two hours before he couldn't hide his surprise and asked.

Belch!

Shen Qiushan, who was studying the script of the TV series, was stunned for a moment by the sudden question, and then shook his head and said with a smile: "You have a big brain, do you also get an alien script?"

"Nope. 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's really just rubbish as you said, but you've only been a few days?"

"I've been thinking about this script for a long time. Shen Qiushan didn't want Xiang Feilong to suspect anything, and immediately explained: "Actually, this is the script I prepared for Qiu Ming to rush into the international film industry, but you really need a script that can impact the Oscars now, so I'll give it to you for the time being." ”

"For junior brother?" Xiang Feilong subconsciously wanted to refuse, he didn't want to rob his junior brother's things, but he liked this script very much, and he was very reluctant to let him give up.

Shen Qiushan couldn't see what Xiang Feilong meant, so he smiled and said: "Brother Long, don't worry, this time "Operation Red Sea" was filmed too hard, Qiu Ming just wants to appear again, and I won't let him star in this film, just combine work and rest, otherwise I'll be too tired." ”

"Thank you. Xiang Feilong nodded heavily, and the hand holding the script became harder and harder, "Just like the name of this script, this may be my 'rush hour'." ”

"It will definitely be, but it will take a while to prepare, and it is really uncertain whether it can catch up with this year's Oscars. "Shen Qiushan has already calculated the time, as the film that Shen Entertainment is about to launch, the script is already there, but the preparation, actor negotiation, producer negotiation, publicity, raising crew, etc., just preparing a film can not be completed in a short time.

Yes, what Shen Qiushan prepared for Xiang Feilong was the film "Rush Hour", which established Brother Long's position in the United States in the previous life.

A classic is a classic, even after many years, it is still difficult for a classic to be surpassed, at least in Shen Qiushan's view, "Rush Hour" is a classic, whether it is the plot or special effects, it will make people never get tired of watching it after more than ten years, and the most powerful thing is that it is completely Chinese and Western, and there is no trace of slashing and chiseling, not only in China, but also in the United States, and it was also squeezed into the North American box office list at that time, which can be called a miracle of Chinese movies.

"That's when I started preparing. Xiang Feilong couldn't wait for a moment.

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

"What? I can't wait. ”

"Let's tell you the truth! The company has no money, and it has no money so to wait. Shen Qiushan said helplessly.

"No money?" Xiang Feilong's eyes widened and he looked at Shen Qiushan in dismay, "The Chinese box office of "Operation Red Sea" is approaching 30 billion in a week, and the box office in North America is more than 50 million, you actually say that there is no money? Don't tell me that the filming cost of "Operation Red Sea" is over 10 billion. ”

"You don't know the theaters in Huaxia yet, the normal screening period is 40 days, and there will be at least a one-month verification period after the film is taken off the shelves, and then the box office will arrive, which will take at least three months. Thinking of the box office that could only be seen and had not yet arrived, Shen Qiushan was also full of resentment.

The filming cost of "Operation Red Sea" is definitely not the highest in China, compared with the big productions in the United States, which can easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars, the investment of "Operation Red Sea" can be more than 100 million US dollars, but this is already all that Shen Entertainment has.

Now the remaining amount on Shen's Entertainment account is less than 100 million, this is Huaxia currency, and it is okay to raise a small-cost movie, but it is completely impossible to shoot "Rush Hour".

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

One billion box office, first of all, the theater chain will have to share half or even 60% of the profit, and the tax will account for 10% to 15%, plus the profit of the publicity and distribution company, it is already good for the producer to share 20% of the box office dividend.

Of course, even if it is 20% 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 popular, it is very easy for the entertainment company to go bankrupt in minutes, which is the cruelty of the entertainment industry.

"I'm going to pull the investment. Xiang Feilong said decisively. "With your Director Shen's fame, plus my face, it is worth at least 100 million US dollars, so the initial investment is no problem. ”

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

"You ......" Xiang Feilong saw Shen Qiushan's direct and decisive refusal and wanted to refute, but seeing Shen Qiushan's insistence, he could only give up, "My salary doesn't need to be counted in it, if I lack funds, I still have some net worth, and I will lend it to you for free, this is okay, no matter what, this film must be filmed, and the protagonist must be me." ”

"Haha, rest assured, rest assured, since the script is given to you, of course you filmed. Shen Qiushan said with a smile.

In a word, a lot of expenses have been saved, and Shen Qiushan is of course happy.

As an international superstar, Xiang Feilong's salary is also top-notch, and I am afraid it has exceeded 100 million yuan.

……

Yanjing.

Yida Plaza.

There was a long queue at the entrance of Yida Cinema again.

"There are no tickets again!" Looking at the ticketing situation on the computer monitor, Zhu Honglei couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Not only is there no ticket for the next show, but even the tickets for the midnight show have been booked out today.

"It's been seven days, I haven't seen Uncle Shan's movie, I don't care, I just want to watch it, I want to watch it. The little girlfriend on the side couldn't hold back anymore and spilled, "Zhu Honglei, you're just a waste, I don't care, I must watch it today, I must watch it." ”

Zhu Honglei's head was extremely big, and he hurriedly comforted his girlfriend: "Lily, it's not that I don't care, it's that I can't help it, Uncle Shan's film is too popular, it's hard to get a ticket." ”

"Then look for scalper tickets, don't you love me anymore, if you love me, spend more money to buy scalper tickets. Lily didn't look at Zhu Honglei angrily, stomped her feet and said anxiously.

"Lily, look, this is a military-themed movie, and there is a love movie next to it, it is a new film by the famous director Liu Mengsan, or ......"

"Don't go, don't go, don't go, I'll just watch Uncle Shan's movies, compared to Uncle Shan's movies, other directors are rubbish, even war movies, and I am willing to watch Uncle Shan's movies. Lily relented.

"Yes, this little girl is right, Uncle Mountain is the guarantee of quality, it's right to watch Uncle Shan's movies, at least it's worth the ticket price. ”

"Little girl, have a vision. ”

"Haha, I'm going to join one of my backer group. ”

If it weren't for the fact that I was watching "Operation Red Sea" for the first time, this ticket would have been given to you. ”

Although this Lily is a little rude, her words made many fans in line agree.

In the same screening room, these fans would rather wait in line for tickets for tomorrow's morning show here than go to the next screening room to see other films.

Not only Yida Plaza, but also the entire first-line theaters in China, almost all have this situation, only those cinemas in second- and third-rate cities, maybe you can occasionally find one or two tickets.
