Chapter 136: On the Agenda
"Okay," Zhou Yu clapped his hands: "With Mr. Xu joining, this matter is half the success!" ”
"Praise it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xu Ke hurriedly waved his hand.
Only then did he set his eyes on Chen Xiaodong: "Mr. Chen is very good at action guidance. Although it is a movie with a historical background, battlefield battles and killing battles are the mainstream. So, is Mr. Chan interested in getting involved? ”
"It's a great opportunity." Chen Xiaodong said: "I have also participated in the action direction of some Hollywood movies, but I think this movie is my best stage." ”
"Welcome!" Zhou Yu laughed.
Then he said to Cheng Long and Zheng Zhidan: "First of all, both of them are also very famous action directors, and secondly, both of them are action superstars, I am here, invite two of them to join in, participate in the role, and as action consultants, what do you think?" ”
"It's an honor." Cheng Long laughed, his eyes seemed to narrow.
"I'm looking forward to the release of a film like this." Zheng Zhishan also agreed.
"Good!" Zhou Yu laughed: "With four people participating, I think this movie will not disappoint me." ”
After a pause, he said: "Of course, this movie is based on the war between the Emperor Wu and the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu, with the champion Hou Huo Quai's illness as the main role, as for the specific script," he couldn't help touching his nose: "Wait until I invite historical expert consultants, and then the four of them will find a way to sort it out." ”
Hearing this, Xu Ke and the others laughed: "No problem! ”
If you want to talk about the script, to be honest, Xiangjiang's films, in the seventies and eighties, and even in the nineties, are not too dependent. Many of them are filmed by directors who think that there is no specific script at all. Many classic movies, in fact, come to this way.
Therefore, it is not difficult for filmmakers like Xu Ke and them who have experienced that era to write a script.
"Zhou Sheng, your pen is really shocking."
After watching Zhou Yu finish talking about the movie here, Lin Zekai and others on the side smiled and congratulated.
"There is no limit to investment, tsk," Zhen Zhigang said, "It's the first time I've heard of it." Then he smiled at Xu Ke and said, "To be honest, it is definitely a joy to meet such a boss." ”
"I will not cut and cut because of the problem of investment, and I can reflect my ideas one by one without flaws, which is worth celebrating for any filmmaker." Xu Ke was deeply touched: "I used to shoot movies, and I often tried my best to do this, for fear that the shooting cost would exceed the budget and I would have a headache. ”
Let's talk about the fruit business.
Whether it is Lin Zekai, Xu Jinheng or Zhen Zhigang and other others, they are all full of red light.
The United Fruit Trading Company's share from the Jade Seal Farm is three out of five. The total output of more than 4,000 acres of lychee orchards in the first year reached 30 million kilograms, that is, 30,000 tons, and on average, the yield per mu was about more than 1,000 kilograms.
Thirty into five, that is, more than 10 million kilograms.
Through the addition of import and export tariffs, this batch of lychees was divided into three grades after they were obtained in Daxia, and the unit price of the lowest grade reached 4,888 Hong Kong dollars per kilogram, and the contract knife was about 630. And the retail price of the highest-grade hanging green lychee is four times that of this figure!
In the mainland, it is even more expensive, with the lowest retail price reaching 4,588 yuan per kilogram. The contract is about 665 dollars.
As for the jade seal fruit, after the second price increase, now in the United States, the unit price of diamond-grade quality is only more than 210 US dollars.
Lin Ze opened them, and he was really ruthless. After the lychee was brought here, it was almost sold at the price of the lowest grade gold grade as diamond grade.
They got the fruit from Zhou Yu's hands, grading, although because of the quality of the green lychee, the price is much higher than some other types, but compared with the United States, it is indeed much higher.
Even if the import and export tariffs on both sides have almost tripled the cost per kilogram, the lowest retail price is more than 600 US dollars, and on average, there is still a profit margin of several hundred percent.
Of course, black is a little darker, but in fact, aren't all imported things like that? What's more, Zhou Yu also accounts for forty percent of the dry shares! So Zhou Yu has no opinion.
10 million kilograms, the minimum retail unit price of 650 US dollars, then the total value is at least 6.5 billion US dollars! According to Zhou Yu's estimates, it should be more than 10 billion!
Even if they cut half of the tax, and then remove Zhou Yu's forty percent of the dry shares, they still have more than 3 billion yuan to distribute. Even if the five people divide it equally, they can get 600 million!
And how much did they put in? It's just 200 million US dollars, plus some personal relationships.
In other words, just this time, they have returned to their original cost and made a lot of money. After that, the business was completely pure profit.
Xu Ke and others said goodbye one after another - Zhou Yu and they said that the business matter has nothing to do with these filmmakers. And there are some secrets in the business, and they also know the opportunity, knowing that they can't listen to it, so they left their contact information and left.
And Lin Zekai originally wanted to call some girls to moisten the atmosphere, but when he saw Tina and the other three girls there, he didn't dare to mess around. After chatting for a while, drinking tea, they dispersed.
...
After Xu Ke and the other four left the Peninsula Hotel, they did not separate, and at his suggestion, the four of them found a tea bar not far from the hotel and talked about today's incident.
"I've been making movies all my life, and I've never thought about such a day."
Xu Ke shook his head and laughed at himself: "Which movie in the past didn't pick and pinch it, and I didn't dare to spend a penny." Today it was an eye-opener for me. ”
Chen Xiaodong nodded, and shook his head again: "After all, it's a young man... When we were young, weren't we just as ambitious to promote Xiangjiang films to the world, but what was the result? ”
"You can't say that." Cheng Long on the side pondered for a moment: "We are different from that one." We're just filmmakers, and he's a world-class billionaire. Plucking leg hair is thicker than all of us combined. He has that capital to do whatever he wants, and we can't. But we can rely on him to realize some of the previous unrealistic ideas. ”
"I agree with Brother Long's statement." Zheng Zhi's hands clasped together, nodded and said, "After Little Superman told me about this, I specifically looked up the identity of this person." Although it is not very clear, from that information, we can know that this man is completely self-made. ”
"Although he is young, he has the current status of the family business, which shows that he should be trustworthy and will not joke with people like us. Those who go back on their word may not have the ability to earn such a large family business. If we are a different person, there is no limit to the amount of investment, and we can do it for the better, I don't believe it. But this one I believe. After all, the status is different. ”
Xu Ke bowed slightly: "When Little Superman was looking for me, he told me. This is not only the 21st world-class rich man on the list of the richest people last year, but not only a self-made man, but also a status he has achieved in the United States in a short period of time, which can be said to be unprecedented. I also believe in such characters. ”
"Although they are young people, young people have passions and dreams. But he has the qualifications to make it happen. And for us, it's opportunity. Listen to him, this is the first time, but not the last. Ten or twenty years, do you hear? In other words, we have more opportunities in the future. ”
"Even if the movie we made this time did not achieve the desired effect. But as long as we do it seriously and get in touch with him, there will be benefits in the future. If nothing else, if we have a movie to be released in the United States in the future, his words will be much more useful than if we broke our legs. ”
Several people shook their heads one after another.
"There's already a beginning to this." Xu Ke said: "We'll see soon." As for us, since we have taken this job, let's get into the work stage as soon as possible. The first is the script. Of course, we can shoot directly without a script, but if we want to go to the United States to shoot, and Hollywood directors participate, what should be done is the same, and we can't let people see jokes plainly, right? ”
The other three nodded slightly.
"For the script, I went to find someone and put the framework up first. Since this one is going to be filmed according to historical facts, then, there are some places, we don't know, and when the experts are invited, we will slowly change it. ”
"And then there's casting." Xu Ke said again: "But this matter is not urgent. When the script comes out and the roles are clear, we'll talk about it. But you all have your relationships and friends, you can mention it to them now, if you are interested, vacate the slot first. I think this movie can't be missed. ”
"It makes sense."
"And then there's the issue of publicity." Xu Ke pondered and said: "Although Zhou Sheng didn't mention it, he is not a filmmaker. But we can't ignore it, we have to pay attention. According to the historical facts of the champion Hou Bei's expedition to the Huns, if you want to do your best and make the biggest scene, then if you invest, I think that one or two hundred million American knives should not be enough. Three or five hundred million, I still want it. Let's show a little bit of wind and stir up this matter a little bit first, and heat it up. ”
"It should."
In addition, in terms of remuneration, Zhou Sheng did not say. But I don't think people like him should treat us badly. Come on, everyone. ”
...
After dispersing, back in the room, Anji was looking through the relevant information of the orphan's house in Great Xia.
Zhou Yu was too lazy to watch, so he turned on the TV by himself, and the Jade Channel was broadcasting the night news. And Tina, Qu Jing, and Fang Tingting, after washing up first, surrounded Anji, you and I said a word, talked about the orphan's home, and gave Anji advice.
It was getting late and late, Zhou Yu turned off the TV with a smile, dodged and flew in, and then the screams suddenly sounded, and then, the sounds of wheezing, shaking, and rubbing came one after another.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yu got up, moved his hands and feet on the balcony, and turned around to see Anji walking out of the bedroom.
"Why don't you sleep more?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but say.
"I made an appointment with the person in charge of the orphanage here yesterday, and I want to meet with them this morning." Anji complained and said, "It's all your fault, I'm still weak." ”
Zhou Yu smiled: "Just push it off, it's not too late to meet again in the afternoon." ”
Anji shook his head, stretched out his finger and said seriously: "Words count." ”
Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders, and then pressed Anji on the sofa, running his strength, massaging up and down, which made Anji's spirit much better.
Around nine o'clock, Angie went out.
At noon, Tina and the others finally got up, had dinner, and received a call from Anji, saying that they would not come back and would go to Yangcheng immediately. Zhou Yu had no choice but to tell her to pay attention to safety, and then immediately let the boulder rush over to protect her safety as Anji's bodyguard.
As for Tina and Qu Jing, with Zhou Yu by their side, what bodyguard can compare?
In the next day or two, Zhou Yu took Tina and the three of them on a tour of Xiangjiang. The scenic spots in Xiangjiang, to be honest, are mostly cultural attractions, and it is not interesting to see.
Instead, I went to Repulse Bay to live in the house that Qu Jing and Fang Tingting bought for one night.
After that, he took a private jet and went straight to the Great Xia Demon Capital. (To be continued.) )
