The KTLA TV station in Los Angeles even dispatched a live broadcast car, and stopped at Kalf Road, where "Xichu" is located, early in the morning, hoping to get first-hand news about the matter, and employees came to the company one after another, and almost everyone who went in would be stopped to ask about it, but the answers were very vague.

After waiting until half past nine, after some negotiations between the Los Angeles KTLA TV station and "Xichu", they agreed to be the head of the film production department, Luke . Don came forward for an interview.

The blonde hostess in professional attire was led by the front desk to enter the not-so-large film company and find Luke. In Tang's office, after some greetings, the host couldn't wait to cut to the topic and asked: "Mr. Tang, does your company really plan to invest in a '$400 million' movie?" ”

Luke sitting in his office. Tang smiled and replied, "There is indeed a plan, our boss has already set off early this morning to start looking for a suitable location to build a studio. "And then Luke. Tang added self-deprecatingly: "Maybe it's ...... to build a city."

The host keenly noticed that it was obvious that the head of the production department might not be too optimistic about the movie, so he asked: "Is it really going to invest 400 million US dollars?" If it is really 400 million, it will be the largest investment in Hollywood history, and this budget even exceeds the 380 million "Batman v Superman", which will be released in the Christmas schedule in 15 years, with a joint investment of 380 million. Mr. Tang, do you think you will succeed? ”

Luke. Tang shrugged his shoulders and said: "It must be 400 million US dollars, this is still the early estimate, according to the plan, maybe 400 million is not enough!" Our company is very well funded, even if the box office revenue of "Horror Movie" and "Death Comes" is basically enough to support the investment.....""

And then Luke. Downtown paused for a moment and said, "As for whether it will succeed or not!" There is nothing in the world that guarantees 100% success, and our company has been questioned since its inception, but it seems that it has been working miracles...... Yesterday, our boss, Mr. Cheng, said a very wonderful thing, he told us: the so-called growth is not only to have dreams, but also to have the courage to gamble everything for dreams. Life is a gamble. Gambling on your career, gambling on your future, betting that your dreams can eventually survive reality, betting that your reality can overwhelm the restlessness of your dreams, betting that your lover can finally fall in love with you, and of course, you can also bet that time can make you forget your former lover. The key is that you understand why you can be willing to gamble and lose. ”

When the blonde hostess heard this, her expression froze for a moment, and then she asked, "WOW!" What a probing statement! So is the director or Director Cheng personally in battle? What is the story of this $400 million dream? As a director who is good at small-budget films, does Director Cheng have the confidence to control such a big production? ”

Luke said with a smile: "Of course, the director is still our boss himself, he said that this story has been in his mind for a long time, as for the content of the story I must keep secret at present, and we are very confident in Director Cheng's directing ability." ”

.......

On January 27, 2014, the MTV Movie Awards announced the list of nominees for the winners, "Horror Movie" was shortlisted for the Best Kiss Scene Award and the heroine Nancy was shortlisted for the Most Breakthrough Actress Award, and the official awards ceremony will not wait until the end of March, but this "Golden Popcorn Award" voted by netizens did not pay much attention, but the name of director Cheng Xiaoyu appeared in almost all newspapers and media.

Not only the whole of Hollywood was shocked, but even the whole of the United States was shocked by this incredible film investment, a Chinese film company, about to shoot the most expensive film in the history of the world in the United States, newspapers and media across the United States are questioning.

"Hollywood Observer" - if 400 million is not Huaxia coins, but US dollars, then we can only think that one or two accidental successes have plunged this young Chinese-American director into a state of madness. A "$400 million" investment? If this is true, I think this film company called "Xichu" must be just a flash in the pan, and it should only be a matter of time before it goes out of business. ”

"Los Angeles Times" -- The future star of the year, Hollywood director Kevin Brown. After the success of three or four films, Costa pulled Universal to shoot "Future World", which invested $200 million in everything, and the North American box office was 80 million. Costa even lost his pants, and I thought the young director should find Kevin. Costa went to exchange how to sell pants for a high price....."

The New York Times -- This is really sensational news, almost half of the top 10 films in Hollywood history are losing money, I really don't know where this Chinese-American director, who only made two blockbuster low-budget horror films, got the courage, maybe it is really easier for him to make money, it's time for him to lose all his money, so as to understand what a cruel place Hollywood is......."

Even the Wall Street Journal, a financial newspaper, devoted a lot of space to the incident: "Undoubtedly, the young Chinese-American director, who is known as the future star of horror films, felt that he had to give it the starting point after acquiring the 'digital realm'....... Didn't you say I couldn't pull the business? It doesn't matter, I can't pull in business, I can create my own business..... Peter. Koopla is happy, Kenichiro Takahashi is happy, Sony is happy, everyone doesn't understand, he can make "Horror Movie 2" or "Death is Coming 2" and be a safe and profitable movie, but he took the risk of making an A-grade movie..... None of us know if he is a bold careerist or a dreamer with a burst of self-confidence! In any case, he is a desperate madman who will surely leave his mark in Hollywood history......"

There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet, although no one knows what the specific content of this "$400 million dream" is, but no one is optimistic about this movie with the largest investment in history, and most of them are cynical.

"Four hundred million dollars? I think this is just a gimmick, 400 million Chinese coins I can still believe that 400 million US dollars of big investment movies, even the six major Hollywood companies will find other film companies or investment companies to share the risk, why is a small company? I also think this Chinese director is crazy......"

"Although I like "Horror Movie" and "Death is Coming", I think Director Cheng made a very unwise decision, he should stick to the ...... of making small-budget films"

"If it is really an investment of 400 million US dollars, I can only say that this director is really naΓ―ve, today's Hollywood A-grade films are all big IP films, and this Chinese film company has no IP worth investing 400 million in its hands, I really don't know how much money this Chinese director has to make such a decision....."

"It reminds me of Kevin. Costa, I think that Kevin was much sharper than Cheng Xiaoyu back then, and his performance was brilliant, and in 1990, he served as the director and producer of "Dances with Wolves", which won seven Hollywood awards in one fell swoop! This is not something that ordinary people can do, coupled with Kevin's outstanding performance in the later "The First Bodyguard" and "Lurker", which attracted the attention of the whole United States, seeing that he would soon be able to rise from a newcomer to a big name in the film industry, but he was full of self-confidence, and he pulled "Universal" to spend 230 million US dollars to shoot "Future World", I think "Universal" has not dried up his tears to this day, and the harmful "Universal" has to ask Staven. Bell made three commercial films in a row to recoup his losses...... And Kevin. Costa hasn't received any film offers for nearly a decade and has had to make astringent films to pay off his debts..... I don't know if director Cheng Xiaoyu will step Kevin. In the footsteps of Costa, I am personally not very optimistic about this dream worth $400 million......"

Peter. Koopla jumped out again and said: "This Chinese director who doesn't know the height of the sky, thinks that he is lucky to get two fluke successes, and fate will always favor him, I am sure that he will use the largest film investment in Hollywood history of 400 million US dollars to cast the biggest joke in the history of Hollywood films...... "Horror Movie" is a movie that makes people want to vomit, "Death is Coming" is just a movie that relies on ticket swiping and Justin. Bieber's brain-dead fans are propped up in the film, and the Asian is just good at hype and piking on the curiosity of the audience, and he is just a speculator when it comes to movies, especially horror movies...... None of his two so-called 'horror movies' made people feel scary in the slightest, and he just showed off some cleverness to cater to the audience..... Everyone who has watched "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" will understand what a textbook-level horror movie is......"

Peter. Kopla's remarks were naturally to rub off on Cheng Xiaoyu's popularity, and by the way, he advertised his movie, hoping that everyone would watch his own movie, as long as he could lower the box office of "The Grim Reaper", he would do his best to do whatever he wanted..... Although the effective fruit is not seen.

In fact, at this time Peter. Kopla's requirements are not high, as long as the box office of "Death is Coming" is not as high as that of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4", he feels satisfied......

Cheng Xiaoyu naturally also saw Peter. What Kopla said, this time he was not going to endure it, after more than a year, he sent a "drizzle" again, and he forwarded it to Peter. Kophera made insulting remarks about herself, and then @Peter. Kopla, I want to have a gentleman's battle with him.

"Peter. Director Kopla, you said I can't make horror movies, so do you have the guts to have a match with me? We spend a week making a horror movie to see who has the higher box office..... Whoever loses is not allowed to make horror movies in his life! Is there a kind of fighting? ”
