On the way home, Liu Dong thought that something was wrong, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, even if Zheng Baorui had to do it, he would not have to find himself at this point, even if it was tomorrow morning, he would not delay anything.

It seems that you are in a hurry, and you are not in a hurry to sign a contract, what does it mean?

It wasn't until the next day that Liu Dong went to the company that he understood a little.

......

Liu Dong's personal studio is next door to Li Manyu's company, and he also set up a film and television production company, which is just a leather bag company for investment.

The studio and the company are completely independent, and there is no connection in the slightest except for the same boss.

In this way, even if you accidentally look away in the future, and lose all the investment failures, it has nothing to do with the studio, and there is no economic and debt entanglement.

Xiao He is upgraded now, the general manager of the company, the name is quite big, in fact, there are less than 10 people under him, including the front desk and the cleaning aunt!

I went to the studio to take a look, Yang Mi and Xiaodi were not there, and I went to shoot some magazine, so I came to Li Manyu's company next door.

As soon as he saw Liu Dong coming in, Li Manyu beckoned, "You came just in time, I have something to tell you!"

"What's the matter, a good thing or a bad thing?" Liu Dong sat down on the sofa in his office.

"It's a good thing, there is a film looking for you to play the male number one, a blockbuster with an investment of 500 million!" Li Manyu smiled and said.

Scare!

"Five hundred million, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Liu Dong didn't drink a sip of tea in his stomach before he almost squirted out.

So far, the highest investment in domestic films is 600 million for "Jinling Thirteen Times" and "Red Cliff".

However, the former invited a Hollywood superstar, which is 20 million meters, and the blasting and special effects in the film are all responsible for the Hollywood special effects blasting team Williams team.

The Williams team is the special effects team responsible for all the war scenes in "Saving Private Ryan".

And "Red Cliff" is divided into two episodes, which is actually a film with a cost of 300 million.

Don't look at the box office of "Hong Kong" and "Journey to the West", which are all special cases, in addition to these two films, the highest-grossing domestic film is "Zodiac" with 880 million, and the box office of more than 800 million is this one.

With an investment of 500 million, even if it is sold overseas for 200 million, it is basically difficult for the mainland to recover the cost, which company dares to invest so much money to smash a movie!

"Did I joke with you when I was down to business?" said Li Manyu with a straight face.

Also, Li Manyu is definitely the person who jokes the least among the female friends Liu Dong knows, it would be better when I first met, but then I don't know if I was too dedicated to work, the whole workaholic, and I don't make much jokes.

No wonder I haven't had a boyfriend for 7 years, and I don't know when I'll get married.

"Tell me about it!" Liu Dong got up from the sofa and sat down across from her.

"Poly Media and Xiangjiang's Xinghao Media plan to remake "Havoc in Heaven" in Journey to the West, invest 500 million, and are ready to find you to play the male lead!"

"Havoc in Heaven?"

"Yes, that's right, I'm looking for you to play Sun Wukong!" Li Manyu nodded.

What is this doing, Zheng Baorui only found himself last night, and early this morning Li Manyu said again, isn't the "Havoc in Heaven" in their mouths the same one?

Suddenly, Liu Dong seemed to understand a little.

No wonder Zheng Baorui would make an appointment with himself so late, just to speak in front of Li Manyu!

If Liu Dong's analysis is correct, it should be Poly Media and Xinghao who decided to use themselves as the leading actors, and Zheng Baorui wanted to get closer to himself so that it would be convenient for filming, so he found himself overnight.

Liu Dong looked at Li Manyu and smiled inexplicably, "Zheng Baorui already told me last night that the contract will be signed in three days!"

"Last night?"

"Li Rengang made an appointment with you for Zheng Baorui?"

Li Manyu instantly figured it out and smiled bitterly.

"Forget it, don't care who comes first and who comes last, let's talk about the situation of the movie, is the 500 million investment you just said true?" Liu Dong waved his hand.

Zheng Baorui just wants to cooperate with him more, after all, he is now a super first-line star, with a different status, and it is not a director like Zheng Baorui who has no strong qualifications to call around.

Poly and Xinghao have already sold the North American rights to GSP, a subsidiary of Sony and Universal, for 38 million yuan. ”

"38 million? How did they fool them, this has fooled foreigners!"

Li Manyu shook her head, "38 million meters is not cash, this is the cost of post-production!"

"It is equivalent to GSP replacing the North American copyright with the post-production of the film, and the actual cost is only 20 million, and 38 million is to make up a whole number, plus the pre-production cost and publicity budget is exactly 500 million yuan!" Li explained.

In other words, the cost is just 200 million, and the mainland box office is enough to return to the cost, not counting the distribution income, the two major companies can earn almost 150 million.

Add to that the copyright in the Asian region, and that's a big deal!

"That's okay, you prepare, we will sign the contract in three days, what are the precautions first!"

......

Three days later, Liu Dong signed an acting contract with Li Manyu, the production directors of Poly Media and Xinghao Media, as well as director Zheng Baorui.

The remuneration is 15 million at the current market price, and all the terms are treated according to the standard of the actor.

However, the two important roles of the Jade Emperor and the Bull Demon King have not been determined, and I don't know if it will be Fa Ge and Guo Fucheng in the end.

Other roles that have been confirmed include Princess Iron Fan, Chen Qiaoen under Xinghao Media.

Chen Huilin starred in Guanyin, Liang Yongqi starred in Chang'e, these two were also stuffed in by Xinghao, they are both human relationships, and there is no way to refuse.

However, the nine-tailed fox was won by Liu Dong and given to Yang Mi.

Originally, Liu Shishi was also very suitable for this role, but he is now filming two movies, "Fuji Detective" and "Back to the Place Where Love Begins", the latter is still the heroine.

And a "Embroidered Spring Knife" is about to start, Liu Dong came from Zhongying, and Huang Jianxin's relationship has gone.

There is also an SB Japanese director who suddenly came to the door and asked Master Liu to play a suspenseful reasoning romance film, but he was directly rejected!

Huang Xiaoming's guy shamelessly invited Liu Shishi to film "Jingzhong Yue Fei" and play his wife, wanting to take advantage of Liu Dong.

Liu Dong didn't want Master Liu to be too tired, just shoot more TV series, it's simple and easy.

Anyway, Master Liu doesn't have any pursuit of movies!

If Yang Mi doesn't find a role for her, she will really rebel, and he won't have to worry about it all day long!

There is also Xiaodi, Liu Dong also asked her for a small supporting role, there are not many scenes, and it has no impact.

ps: When "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was promoted, it was 500 million or 600 million, but Zhou Xiaofeng, director of the editorial department of "People's Literature", published a book about Zhang Yimou, mentioning that the production cost was 127 million, and the publicity cost was less than 200 million!

Of course, I don't know if it's true or not......
