Chapter 367: The twists and turns that Liu Tianyu didn't know
Liu Tianyu had a ghostly expression: "Just kidding, I'm playing Spider-Man? Please, have you ever seen Spider-Man with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair? It's outrageous." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"It's not outrageous at all. Zhou Ruolan said: "You are now red...... And it's so popular that you can't be more popular! I can't even think of a second person who is more popular than you now! You've become a hero to almost all Americans! Because you've saved their idols! According to surveys, people want to see you on the big screen! It can be said that as long as you appear on the movie screen, even if you don't act at all, the audience is even willing to pay 15 dollars to go into the movie theater and watch you brush your teeth on the screen! As long as you are willing, you can immediately make a movie that is half the sky! This is definitely not crazy! It's money! It's real money! It's dollars, big profits! Businessmen are like that, they can joke about anything, they can make a joke about everything, they can make anything outrageous! But money, it's real! It's absolutely not outrageous!"
"You won't really let me play Spider-Man, right......" Liu Tianyu listened to Zhou Ruolan's words, looked at her suspiciously, to be honest, he wouldn't shirk letting Liu Tianyu do something else, but acting, don't joke, okay.
"Of course not. Zhou Ruolan shook her head: "I say this to tell you how popular you are now, we think it's a bit of a waste if you don't make good use of your current fame." ”
"Sister Lan, if you have anything to say, just say it, it's very difficult for me to listen to you in the clouds." ”
"Well, we hope to use your fame to open the market for cancer cell suppressants as soon as possible. ”
"There's no need, even if I don't have my reputation, the cancer cell suppressant drug will quickly occupy the market when it is put into the market, after all, the effect of the cancer cell suppressant drug is there, so I can't play a decisive role. ”
"You're thinking too simply, Xiaoyu. After Liu Tianyu finished speaking, Zhou Ruolan sighed: " To be honest, before today, my thoughts were the same as yours, and I also felt that as long as our products were good, other things didn't need to be considered, but today I listened to Angela analyze it for me, and I realized how naïve my previous thoughts were, Xiaoyu, cancer cell suppressor drugs are indeed the gospel of cancer patients, but the current drugs on the market for the treatment of cancer are not only cancer cell suppressant drugs, the emergence of cancer cell suppressant drugs is equivalent to cutting off the life of other cancer treatment drugs, here is not more than China, here is the United States. ”
The so-called drum does not need to be beaten, Zhou Ruolan did not say it too thoroughly, but Liu Tianyu understood: "Then what are you going to do?"
"You look at this first. Zhou Ruolan did not answer Liu Tianyu's words directly, but took out a stack of printed things from her bag and threw them in front of Liu Tianyu.
Liu Tianyu glanced at Zhou Ruolan suspiciously, then picked it up and opened the first page, and when he looked at the first line of the first page, he was even more confused.
This is a script, a movie script, and this drama reproduces almost the entire process of the terrorists' hostage-taking! The male protagonist in it, of course, is based on him, and accomplishes a Hollywood-style feat, defeating the terrorists and rescuing all the hostages...... Among them, the most classic is Liu Tianyu's move of being "Spider-Man" outside the building.
Almost 90 percent replication!!
"Six of Hollywood's top screenwriters took seven days to write. Zhou Ruolan smiled: "I have estimated with professional people that the total budget for the filming investment, post-production and distribution of this film will be about 140 million US dollars, and it will be wholly invested by us, and it will be filmed by Colum Graduation Company!!"
Liu Tianyu rolled his eyes at Zhou Ruolan, he knew that Zhou Ruolan still had something to say, so he didn't interject and waited for her next step.
"This is an opportunity. Zhou Ruolan said: "Xiaoyu, to be honest, this time to talk about the export of cancer cell inhibition drugs is not as smooth as imagined, especially now the initiative in the negotiation is not ours, so if we don't want to change the sales method of cancer cell inhibition drugs and want to sell them directly here, if we want to let cancer cell inhibition drugs enter the market quickly, then now we need to take action." ”
"Let's be specific. Liu Tianyu understood that the above was going to take away the export rights of some countries, Liu Tianyu knew very well the above plans, it was nothing more than to use the export rights of cancer cell inhibition drugs to achieve some goals, originally this kind of thing was a win-win result in Liu Tianyu's opinion, but now listening to Zhou Ruolan say this, it seems that the final result is not as good as he expected.
"Now almost all the people in Los Angeles owe you a physique, and you have saved almost half of Hollywood's celebrities with a miraculous act! What a favor! It can be said that in the past, present, and future, I don't think anyone else can have such a large network as you!! But there will be a time when the favor thing will run out, so I want to continue to expand your influence so that you can really gain a foothold here, and besides, I remember you told me before that you said you wanted to make your own film or something, and now is a very good opportunity. ”
“・・・・・・・・・・・・・・” After Zhou Ruolan finished speaking, Liu Tianyu began to lower his head and ponder, to be honest, Liu Tianyu didn't have too many ideas about what Zhou Ruolan said earlier about expanding the influence, he was now thinking about Zhou Ruolan's last sentence, that's right, from a long time ago, Liu Tianyu had his own plans to make movies and TV series, and he didn't take action, but he failed at the time, and the failure here does not refer to the failure of shooting, but to the fact that the camera that he shot by himself cannot make the props in the movie ready-made.
I remember that after drawing a talisman and adding messy attributes and failing to extract it into a physical object, Liu Tianyu thought hard and meditated and then had a flash of inspiration and thought of a pseudo-science fiction film that he had seen before, that pseudo-science fiction film tells a story about the protagonist living from the Qin Dynasty to modern times, this movie has no technical content, basically the protagonist points to the utensils in the house and recalls the origin of these things, Liu Tianyu has experimented, the props in this movie can be extracted into real objects using the camera, so Liu Tianyu also moved his mind, and he used the camera to shoot a memory movie that he crossed over from another worldIn the movie, Liu Tianyu came to the earth with an artifact that could destroy the world, and hid in the earth for many years.
According to Liu Tianyu's idea, the movie that tells the story of the protagonist living from the Qin Dynasty to modern times, the props in the movie can be extracted into real objects, so the movie he made with an artifact from the other world should be like that movie, but the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny, Liu Tianyu secretly took a long time to shoot the masterpiece, but the final result was to give Liu Tianyu a blow to the head.
In his opinion, the path of shooting the movie by himself and then extracting the props designed by himself in the movie is definitely not wrong, but in the end, the props in the movie cannot be extracted into real objects, and there must be a reason that he has not found, and when he finds this reason, then he will really develop in the future, no matter what he wants, he can use this method to achieve his own goals.
"Just do what you want. After pondering, Liu Tianyu raised his head and looked at Zhou Ruolan: "But I think this movie, you'd better bring some more people in." ”
Originally, even in Hollywood, there were very few film companies that made movies that were wholly invested by a film company, but they must cite funds from all sides, and there are investment companies in Hollywood that specialize in investing in films. This situation is mainly used to diversify risks.
If all of a movie is invested by one film company, then if it loses, it will naturally be lost by one company to the end. Therefore, risk avoidance can be said to be the most important. Of course...... There are also some cases of distribution of interests and compromises.
Generally speaking, it is already rare for a film company to invest 30 percent of its own investment! You must know that Spider-Man, a blockbuster that is a global blockbuster and is recognized as a film with a high probability of making a big profit, is not wholly owned by Columbia, but has several investors!
And now, as I have proposed, we made a movie about the robbery ourselves, and all the funds were invested by our family to shoot it in the end...... This situation, in Hollywood, is almost unthinkable!
For example, everyone knew that the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, which was a global hit the year before, would definitely make money. But the film company didn't invest all the money to shoot it...... The same diversification approach has been adopted.
It's not that studios don't have enough confidence in the film itself and are worried about losing money, so they need to spread the risk...... At that time, idiots knew that after this movie came out, it would definitely make a lot of money! It was equivalent to a hen that could lay golden eggs!
At this time, all the surrounding parties will keep their eyes on this movie, and many people want to get a piece of the pie...... In this case, it is just like when Liu Tianyu took out the cancer cell inhibition drug, everyone knows that this thing will make a lot of money after it is put into production, so they all want to get a piece of the pie, Liu Tianyu gave the shares of the cancer cell inhibition drug to Han Xue, in fact, it is similar to making a movie.
Therefore, the investment in making movies is dispersed, and the same is true! It is not that the film companies themselves are willing to selflessly share the opportunity to make money to others.
So, there is a strange phenomenon in Hollywood...... The more movies that are favored by many people, the more likely they are to make a lot of money, and the more investors there are!
And for real movies with the risk of losing money, the investors are often very simple - after all, everyone is not a fool, and few people are willing to do risky business.
"No, no, this time it's different. Hearing Liu Tianyu say that she wanted to bring more people into Caiyu's movie, Zhou Ruolan shook her head and rejected Liu Tianyu's proposal, and then she gave Liu Tianyu a general explanation of Hollywood's film investment: "Although every popular movie is a money-making machine, many people have to forcibly insert it when they are hot, and even those giant-level film companies have to compromise in all aspects." But this situation is different for us, if a popular big-budget movie can be sold well, almost all of the money will be made in the unit of 100 million! This kind of money-making business is naturally hot for everyone. At first, I wondered why the studios were willing to share this money-making opportunity with others. Although it is said that a big-budget movie costs hundreds of millions of dollars, it is astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people. But for those giant-level studios...... It's not that they don't have money! And the reason for this, in addition to diversifying investment risks, is more of a compromise. ”
"Compromise?" Liu Tianyu didn't understand.
"That's right, it's a compromise, to be honest, these are not what I thought of, it was Angela who told me, according to her, a money-making business, the more you make money, the more complicated the circle becomes! I don't know how many people will sharpen their heads and want to get in...... Not to mention anything else, it is an open secret that those underworld forces launder money through movies...... And this is just a few small Mingtang. Big giant-level film companies often have their own background and influence, and they will not be coerced by the underworld forces and agree to let their funds in. However, even those powerful film giants have some scruples! For example, ......" Zhou Ruolan said while wrenching her fingers: "Banks, various funds, investors, production companies, and even many insurance consortia, etc., etc....... This is a market of capital! The circulation of capital is, in the final analysis, the pursuit of profits! Since there is the output of profits, it is very difficult for a family to monopolize it in its own hands...... After all, this is no longer the era of 'trusts'! The big studios, although not afraid of gangsters and other organizations that do not come to the fore...... But if it's really a first-class gangster, such as a mafia family, it will still make them compromise. As for the huge interest groups like banks, they have to bow their heads even more! The circle is so big, and the relationship between them is even more complicated. There is even a very strange phenomenon in the United States, which is incomprehensible to the Easterners・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
