"Although this movie is good and the box office is okay, after all, when it was released overseas, the results were average." Lorraine shook her head.

Thinking, he continued to look down.

Soon, there were two movies that quickly caught his eye!!

"2012, Sherlock Holmes?!" Lorraine was startled and locked her eyes on the names of these two films!

What are you kidding, these two are two of the most memorable super commercial blockbusters of 2009! The first is a special effects blockbuster shot with the gimmick of the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world in 2012, a standard Hollywood production, and Lorraine knows very well what kind of box office results this film won in 2009!

And the other...... That "Sherlock Holmes" also brings together a lot of popular elements, the detective charm of Sherlock Holmes, and the super box office appeal of Robert Downey Jr.!

Seeing this, Lorraine didn't think too much, and without saying a word, he raised the phone and went back to that Wang Lei.

Soon, Wang Lei's respectful voice came from the other side of the phone: "Hey, Luo Dong? What are the commands? ”

"Mr. Wang, about the financial sponsorship of "2012" and "Sherlock Holmes", we can try it, as long as it does not exceed the budget too much, it is okay." Lorraine commanded.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and replied: "Luo Dong, I'm afraid this won't work...... To tell you the truth, I inquired about these two movies the moment I got them, but there were too many bids, and it's a little late now......"

"Late?" Lorraine sighed helplessly, this was what she expected.

"But...... Luo Dong, you see in the information sheet, there is a movie called "Dragon Ball: Evolution", this movie is adapted from the super popular anime of the Wa Kingdom, and there is a mentor in it, played by our Chinese superstar Mr. Zhou, I feel ...... This film is suitable for our investment, I just made a special inquiry, and now this film is continuing to tender for investment sponsorship. ”

"Oh? Dragon Ball: Evolution? Lorraine raised an eyebrow.

But the next second, he smiled helplessly.

If you don't have any memories of this movie, it's good, I guess I will not hesitate to ask for investment. Because this movie has Mr. Zhou, a Chinese superstar, as a box office guarantee, at least in Asia, it will still be good, plus this is adapted from the super popular comic book of Asian smash hit, at least, it will not lose money. But...... In fact, this was not the case, and according to Lorraine's memory, the film ended up being a box office failure and had a very poor reputation.

"I'm not optimistic about this movie, Mr. Wang, what we need...... is a shocking enough movie, at least a commercial blockbuster on the same level as "Sherlock Holmes". As he spoke, Lorraine's eyes were not idle, and he continued to look down.

Finally, his eyes suddenly lit up!

This...... This is??!

Lorraine had a helpless look on his face, but suddenly he was excited!

"That's right...... The movie is called ...... "Planet Pandora"?? Is this a coincidence? ”

In Lorraine's impression, there was a very shocking movie in the last life, a film that caused a film revolution all over the world! It's called ...... "The Gods of Heaven Descent", also called "Avatar"! And in that movie, the place where the story takes place is [Pandora Planet]! Is this a coincidence?

This movie, Lorraine remembers deeply, was only released in China in 2010, and now it is only the beginning of 2009, and there is still a year to go. Is the reason why the title of the movie is different now is because it has not been finalized yet? Thinking about it, it will be released in another year, and there may be changes at any time in the middle.

But what Lorraine didn't expect was ,...... This 3D production, which later shocked the world with the highest investment, also needed to seek overseas funding.

Thinking about it, Lorraine asked: "Mr. Wang, why doesn't this "Pandora Planet" have detailed notes?" Just a movie title? ”

When Mr. Wang heard this, he said: "Oh, it's such Luo Dong, this movie is expected to be released at the end of this year and early 2010." Before that, the film had already begun to be filmed, and the funding cycle was too long, and the investment amount of many sponsors was trapped. Although this may be a big production, the cycle is too long, and I don't think it is suitable for us to invest in this movie, so the relevant departments did not take the detailed remarks about this movie too seriously. ”

Lorraine shook his head when he heard this, and secretly said that even if he is a wise decision-maker, there will be mistakes, if this movie is really the world's first and most expensive 3D masterpiece, isn't it just a rare opportunity?

"Hehe, Mr. Wang, sometimes, don't be confused by some phenomena and rumors on the surface. - In five minutes, I want the details of this "Pandora Planet". ”

"Yes! Luo Dong! ”

Hanging up the phone, Lorraine waited quietly, and in less than five minutes, the call came again.

"Hey, Luo Dong, the detailed information has been queried. ――This movie is directed by James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", and the plot setting is probably about a story about [Pandora's planet]! ......" Wang Lei said responsibly.

But the relevant information behind is not so important to Lorraine, the important thing is that he knows that this is the 3D movie directed by James Cameron! It was the later "Avatar"!

"Mr. Wang, how much foreign investment is needed for this movie?" Lorraine asked.

Mr. Wang was stunned when asked, because he didn't take this movie very seriously, so he needed to confirm it again. This time, Lorraine's phone didn't hang up, and after waiting for about a few minutes, Wang Lei on the other side of the phone said again: "Luo Dong, I found out, the director of this movie, James Cameron, his approximate budget starts at 300 million US dollars, and it will be nearly 400 million US dollars." It is said that he has now gathered about $150 million in investment, which is still $250 million short of his total budget. ”

"Hehe, only $400 million? That's not enough. Lorraine suddenly laughed when she heard this. In his impression, the final total budget of this "Avatar" is as high as more than 500 million US dollars. Now James Cameron, the reason why he did not ask for too much budget investment is mainly because he did not dare to open his mouth, for fear of scaring away all investors. Also, the movie is still in production, and how much additional budget will be needed later, which is not expected by James at the moment.

"Luo Dong, what did you say?" Hearing Lorraine say that 400 million US dollars is not enough, he was suddenly startled, what did Mayor Luo Dong think? $400 million is not enough? That's nearly 2.6 billion Huaxia coins! If Mayor Luo Dong adds $400 million to James Cameron's movie, it will require about 1.6 billion Huaxia coins!

Invest about 1.6 billion in one go for a movie, which ...... Isn't that too generous?

Thinking of this, Wang Lei took a deep breath and asked, "Luo Dong...... What do you mean? You mean...... Are we ready to invest in this film? ”

Lorraine smiled, "Yes. ”

"Luo Dong...... IMHO...... The film's director, James Cameron, is a movie special effects fanatic. He is in Hollywood, and he is also known as the 'budget overspending king', Luo Dong, making a movie, is risky...... If we invest too much money in one go......"

Without waiting for Wang Lei to finish speaking, Lorraine smiled: "Hehe, isn't his "Titanic" the global box office historical champion?" As far as I know, director James Cameron, while being called the 'king of budget overspending', is also known as the 'king of the world'. Invest in him, I rest assured. ”

"But...... Even if it is a movie directed by Director James, there is still a risk, in case the box office does not do well after this movie comes out, it will be a big loss......" Wang Lei wanted to say something, but he took a deep breath, and saw that Lorraine didn't seem to have the intention of changing his mind, so he said, "Okay, Luo Dong, decide to take it, how much are you going to invest?" …… The advice of subordinates is that it is good to invest up to $100 million......"

"Nope." Without waiting for Wang Lei to finish speaking, Lorraine didn't open his mouth to veto.

Wang Lei could hear the resoluteness in Lorraine's words, and asked cautiously: "Luo Dong, what do you mean...... Add all the vacancies in his highest budget? That's a high investment of about 1.6 billion Huaxia coins......"

"No, Mr. Wang, you misunderstood." Lorraine smiled.

Hearing this, Wang Lei breathed a deep sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that their Chairman Luo is not crazy.

But who knows, at the moment when Wang Lei was relieved, Lorraine suddenly changed his words and said: "I want to add 500 million US dollars to James Cameron's movie, well, to fill the vacancy, we need to invest 350 million US dollars, that is, Huaxia coins...... It's about 2.3 billion. ”

On the other side of the "......" phone, Mr. Wang's mouth opened wide and he was dumbfounded, he almost didn't believe his ears.

Invest a full 2.3 billion ...... in a movie Chairman Luo...... Is it really well thought out? Or is he just here to play tickets?

…………

The Rockwell Group is still what Lorraine said.

Chinese Vision Film Company is quite opposed to Lorraine's decision, but no matter how loud these opposition is, Lorraine still has to stick to his decision.

After Lorraine's orders, after almost three days, a full 2.3 billion Chinese coins were transferred from the name of the Luo's Group to the public account of the "Pandora Planet" crew led by Hollywood James Cameron.
