Chapter 44: Choice
Jiang Ge's suggestion was actually not a whim of Fang Mingyuan. I suddenly wanted to leak it, but I had already planned it.
Film, as a smoke-free industry. On the one hand, it is possible to earn a lot of profit from the whole shijie. On the one hand, it is also a platform for publicity. Fang Mingyuan, who has experienced his previous life, can cite countless examples of soft advertising in movies. Of course. It's also an excellent way to launder money. A blockbuster movie is undoubtedly a movie that can work continuously for several years, or even more than ten years, how can it not be eye-catching. What's more, in Fang Mingyuan's mind, there are still those blockbusters that were sold until two thousand years later. Isn't it a waste if you don't make full use of them? In addition, through the company's investment, you can also reduce the taxes and fees that must be paid on future earnings, so why not. If nothing else, the huge box office revenues of "Avatar" and "Titanic" are enough to scare people. The tax reduction is a staggering amount.
But Fang Mingyuan doesn't want to limit his energy to the film industry, which is just a tool for him to raise funds, but not what he is fighting for. So find someone you can trust. came to help him preside over this part, which became helpless and the best choice.
Yu Qiuxuan, as a native of Hong Kong. is also the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, who has a status that cannot be ignored in Hong Kong, and with the test of the investment in the first few real films, and the cooperative investment in those scripts in the future, it has officially entered the film industry, which has reached the point of course. The bigwigs in the Hong Kong film industry are afraid that they have already been mentally prepared for one more opponent at this time. And after the establishment of the new company. There is no need to worry about running out of things in a short period of time, just those projects that are filmed in collaboration with other companies are enough for them to be busy for a year and a half. And when it comes to that, the company will be completely staffed. Even if Fang Mingyuan didn't give them the script again, they could be self-reliant.
What's more,,
"What? You have an investment agreement with a Hollywood studio? Yu Qiuxuan screamed in surprise, which was too unexpected for her.
"Well, Terminator Phenol. James Cameron, who is also the director of "The Terminator". The investment amount of 60 million US dollars can basically share half of the income in the future. Fang Mingyuan said casually.
"Six million dollars?" Yu Qiuxuan couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, although she was from a wealthy family. Hearing this amount, my heart trembled, this is hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, if you invest in the Hong Kong film industry, there is no problem in making more than a dozen movies.
"Mingyuan, are you crazy? 60 million US dollars, do you know how many movies you can make in Hong Kong? Moreover, you can only get half of the profits, they shouldn't be taking you as a big wrong, right? Yu Qiuxuan jumped up and pressed Fang Mingyuan's shoulders with both hands.
"American film companies also have to invest 60 million US dollars, of course, they can only take a million of the profits. Fang Mingyuan replied with a grin. can see Yu Qiuxuan, who has always been calm and graceful, showing such a panicked look, and his own pass can be regarded as not sold in vain. "A budget of 120 million US dollars!?" Yu Qiuxuan, who was a little dizzy and a little dizzy by this huge amount, couldn't help but feel a little weak in his feet. The body is swaying. Although she has not been involved in the film industry for a long time, she is not a layman who knows nothing after all, such a huge film budget. Don't say it's Hong Kong, even if it's in the whole shijie, I'm afraid it's unprecedented. Fang Mingyuan hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arms and helped her to the sofa, and Qing'er, who was having a lot of fun with the dolls, also hurriedly ran over, lying on her lap and screaming loudly.
It took a long time for Yu Qiuxuan to calm down and carefully analyze the mystery.
The name of "The Terminator", she has naturally heard of it and seen it, it can be said to be a masterpiece of American science fiction movies, with a cost of more than 6 million and a box office of more than 30 million yuan as a classic work by Hong Kong film practitioners. James Cameron is also a well-known director in Hollywood in recent years, and he has also seen "Alien" and "Abyss" directed by him in the past two years, all of which can be called movies with good reputation and box office.
As a sequel to "The Terminator", this in itself will attract a large number of "Terminator" fans. And James Cameron's name is enough to attract a large number of Americans to watch the movie. If you add to this is the first film in the history of the film to have a budget of more than 100 million yuan, I am afraid that the Terminator Phenol will attract the attention of all shijie moviegoers from the time of filming. At least one thing is certain, as long as there is an opportunity, then no one minds spending a ticket to see what kind of movie James Cameron has made, and it can actually cost more than 100 million dollars. If the plot of "Terminator Young" can be brilliant and get some praise, it should not be a problem to recover the cost.
Especially Fang Mingyuan, this kid, seems to have failed in his investment in recent years. He was able to be so optimistic about "Terminator Phenol", which made Yu Qiuxuan feel a little more confident.
"Mingyuan, do you have the certainty of returning to the capital? . Yu Qiuxuan asked suspiciously.
Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, leaned into Yu Qiuxuan's ear, and said softly: "At least 100% profit!" He didn't dare to say. At least $500 million at the box office could make these investors a little bit more money.
Fortunately, Qiu Xuan had already been mentally shocked one after another just now, and this time, she was just stunned. 100% profit, although not as impressive as the box office and cost ratio of "Terminator", but considering its huge budget. It's pretty good to be able to earn so much.
"And not only that, I already have the film adaptation rights for the new book by the best-selling American author Michael Clayton, and James Cameron has agreed to direct the film, and I can assure you that this will be another film that will shock the Shijie film industry. Fang Mingyuan inadvertently threw out another bomb.
Yu Qiuxuan was a little numb by the news that came one after another,,
"Mayor, the ticket has been booked". Lu Fatzi whispered softly to Qiu Shuguo, who was standing in front of the window and looking at the street scene. Everyone in the regiment now knows that Mayor Qiu's temper is not good, and now he is like a powder keg, igniting a fire. In the past few days, everyone has been cautious in front of Qiu Shuguo, and even spoke softly, for fear that something would be wrong and attract the mayor's anger.
Qiu Shuguo slowly withdrew his gaze from the streets of Hong Kong, which had been lit up, and asked in an inaudible voice, "When?" After waiting for seven days, after all, he still had to leave empty-handed, and the feeling in his heart was naturally indescribable.
"Tomorrow is flat
Before Lu Fatzi's words were finished, Qiu Shuguo's door was suddenly pushed open, and the young man who was in charge of turning Ze rushed in excitedly. "Mayor, Guo's Shipping Group is calling!"
