The funds for the co-production of "Jurassic Park", Zhang Shaojie borrowed from the account of Xiaobawang America. US$20 million, at an annual interest rate of 10%, will be repaid with interest after the year.

After more than a year of rapid development, Xiaobawang has sold more than 6 million Xiaobawang game consoles. The consumers of Xiaobawang game consoles are not consumers with a surname, but will continue to buy the latest game cartridges, which will bring a steady stream of profits to Xiaobawang Game Company.

The development of Xiaobawang Game Company, which has entered the right track, has continuously reduced the production cost of the machine after large-scale improvement of production, as well as for the price reduction of hardware manufacturers through market position.

Today, the production of a Xiaobawang game console has been reduced to $55, which is $10 less than a year ago.

In terms of host sales, it has roughly broken even. On average, each gamer buys more than 4 sets of game cartridges a year, bringing $100 in sales and $40 in profits to Xiaobawang.

6 million users of game cartridges can provide $240 million in annual sales profits to Xiaobawang consoles!

Of course, Xiaobawang's operating costs, as well as corporate expansion and advertising expenses, reached 200 million US dollars last year, and the money earned was spent in a blink of an eye, and the profit left in the account was only more than 40 million US dollars.

Zhang Shaojie borrowed $20 million, basically siphoning off half of Xiaobawang's profits.

Mi Zhen could only roll his eyes at this: "Movies or something, it's outdated!" Those Hollywood movie giants, worth billions or tens of billions, create pitiful profits every year. Hollywood's film investment accounts for the vast majority of losses, and only a few who are lucky can make a lot of money. Isn't this similar to gambling, I really don't know what you think! ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "I like movies, can't I? ”

"Mi Zhen can only take it.

Zhang Shaojie asked Xiaobawang to borrow funds on the books, which is a very unreasonable and unscientific investment for Xiaobawang.

The money was lent to Zhang Shaojie, although there was interest, but the interest was insignificant. And 20 million is placed on Xiaobawang's books, and a profit of 10 million may be made a year later

However, who called Zhang Shaojie the boss of Xiaobawang.

In addition, most of Zhang Shaojie's interference in Xiaobawang's decision-making is reasonable.

Therefore, he has enough prestige to borrow $20 million from Xiaobawang's account to invest in the movie "Jurassic Park".

The pre-shooting of "Jurassic Park" was prepared to take place on some uninhabited, empty islands in Hawaii. Most of the other scenes were shot on Universal Studios' studios.

Of course, the most critical aspect of this movie is the use of computer-generated animatronic dinosaurs and dynamic dinosaurs.

The design of these dinosaurs is not only something that can be done by a computer CG master, but even needs to be supervised by a paleontologist who is very authoritative on the modeling of dinosaurs.

Therefore, although the plot of "Jurassic Park" is not complicated, it is actually a very high technical threshold, at least for dinosaurs, it is an extremely professional sci-fi blockbuster.

Only professionalism can succeed!

In the science fiction movies shot in Hollywood, in addition to filmmakers, there are also a large number of scientists and experts in other disciplines involved. The participation of these experts makes the logic of science fiction movies more rigorous and the use of professional knowledge richer. It is precisely because of a large number of scientists who guide the film that it is a Hollywood science fiction movie that always stands at the peak of the world.

Although Zhang Shaojie is the creator of the script of "Jurassic Park", he does not know the details of dinosaurs very thoroughly.

The life habits, movements, shapes, and even muscle textures of these dinosaurs are all designed and checked by paleontologists.

In the process of dinosaur design by many paleontologists, Zhang Shaojie has made up for some loopholes in scientific knowledge, which has also benefited Zhang Shaojie a lot.

At the same time, Zhang Shaojie is more deeply aware that the reason why science fiction movies are science fiction is very closely related to scientific content.

If you want to shoot a good science fiction movie, it is not enough to rely on the ability of directors, stars, and screenwriters. It also needs the gatekeeping of scientists to make science fiction movies look professional.

It is precisely because of these understandings that Zhang Shaojie decided that after returning to Hong Kong, let Baolong Film Company try to establish a cooperative relationship with scientists and make a science fiction movie with real scientific content.

Science fiction movies are a category of movies with a high threshold.

Hong Kong films want to go international, and they are also catching up in science fiction film projects. You can't give up because of the difficulty of this subject

—————————— in May, before Zhang Shaojie was ready to return to Hong Kong, a person came to him, which surprised him a little.

"My dear, you didn't go to see me when you came to the United States this time. If I hadn't come to you, would you have planned to go back to Hong Kong? Madonna said with a grin.

After a few months of absence, Madonna looks more colorful than before. And during this time, Madonna's popularity is also soaring wildly.

This kind of rapid progress, in addition to the fame brought to her by acting as an agent for Xiaobawang's advertisement and broadcasting it all over the United States. More of a factor is the unexpected joy of Madonna's partnership with MTV.

MTV was founded in August 1981, and in the first few years of its existence, there were not many big-name singers working with it, but Madonna was one of the first singers to sign with MTV. Because MTV is growing rapidly in the United States, Madonna is also rapidly becoming popular.

"My big star, how could I miss you! It's just that you are too popular, and I am afraid that the exposure of your relationship with you will make countless American teenagers hate me and go crazy. Zhang Shaojie took her palm and said, "The media says that half of Americans love you crazy!" ”

Madonna snorted and said, "The other half of them want to hang me"

Due to the fact that on the MTV channel, Madonna often wore different costumes, posed in different poses, and sang, and soon won the nickname of the goddess of change.

The changeable Madonna caters to the rebellious teenage mentality of the American era, and some rebellious teenagers imitate her, wearing a cross on their heads, wearing a hole in a garment, a messy rubber band on their wrists, and a black mole painted above their right lip. Many conservative parents and educators are eager to strangle this Madonna who brought their children to death.

"Whoever wants to hang you will not step on my corpse." Zhang Shaojie looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Although Madonna knew that Zhang Shaojie's words were very unreliable, she was also very sweet and snuggled up to his shoulder, and tears flowed out of her eyes, saying: "Why, you are so popular with girls." Since you left, people have been missing you every day, reminiscing about the sweetness of the past. People hate to have to go to Hong Kong to find you, but considering that your girlfriend can't accept my existence for the time being, and is afraid of causing you trouble, people can only get your information by collecting news from Hong Kong. Moreover, in order to better communicate with you, they have applied for the middle school class."

"Oh, Chinese, what have you learned?" Zhang Shaojie said curiously.

Madonna said in Chinese: "Miss Wang, taught me a sentence in Chinese, saying, this is a very humorous sentence." Ordinary people can't say it, they can only say it to their dear people, it will make the other person very happy. ”

Zhang Shaojie was even more curious and said, "Oh, let's hear it." ”

"Once the nest play is over, Big Shabi," Madonna said word by word.

After Zhang Shaojie heard this, he laughed and said: "I faint when I laugh to death, who taught you Chinese, it's just too bad"

Madonna was stunned.

Zhang Shaojie explained the meaning to her, and suddenly Madonna was ashamed and angry, and said: "That miss king, don't let me see her again!" ”

In fact, some Chinese teachers who pit foreign Chinese lovers are not the mainstream. However, Madonna was unfortunately trapped.

However, Zhang Shaojie said: "If you really want to learn Chinese, I need to give you a general explanation of the differences within Chinese." China has a huge territory, and the accent of Chinese varies from region to region. The Chinese in the south, the number of dialects is innumerable, Hong Kong is the use of Cantonese accent, while Chinese mainland, Taiwan is the implementation of Mandarin, Chinese, these two are actually similar, after learning Mandarin or Chinese, basically able to cope with most of the use of Chinese scenes. The written text of Chinese is also divided into simplified characters and traditional characters, and at present, the traditional characters used in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the simplified characters used in Chinese mainland and Singapore. Simplified Chinese characters are easier to learn and more widely used at the same time"

Zhang Shaojie's explanation did not discourage Madonna's determination to learn Chinese.

In the next few days, in addition to indulging in unbridled love with Madonna, Zhang Shaojie found a very reliable lieutenant colonel in Madonna, Los Angeles.

In addition to the reading comprehension of some written texts, the textbooks in it are more likely to invite Chinese Americans in Chinatown or Chinese students to conduct a lot of oral training.

Of course, the tuition fee for this kind of reliable teaching is also 100,000 US dollars per year.

However, many students who accept the study will be able to use Chinese fluently within five or six years. The so-called difficulty for foreigners to learn Chinese is actually an unscientific teaching method.

If the teaching method is reasonable, any foreign language is actually not difficult.
