Moss Elt asked, "What is the positioning of the little boy in the film?" Are there any acting requirements? ”

"I'll probably tell you about the requirements!"

When Mr. Lei heard this, he asked to play the role of the little boy who was the protagonist of the movie "Home Alone," which was originally released ten years later, and the film earned more than $480 million at the global box office at a cost of $18 million, earning $800 million in profits for Twentieth Century Fox. This is only the first film www.biquge.info the film has been shot three times in a row, and although the income of the next two films is not as much as the first one, it is at least hundreds of millions of dollars, making a lot of money, this kind of film, he will naturally not let it go.

After listening to the protagonist's request, Moss Elt said slowly: "BOSS, it's not easy to find a suitable little boy, but it's not that difficult, but it's not easy to find it in half a month. ”

"It's not easy and there's no way, if it's really not possible, I can only stop filming for the time being, and I will shoot this film again next year."

Lei Juewen naturally knows that it is not easy to find a suitable actor in a short period of time, so he is not reluctant, he can find the best, it doesn't matter if he can't find it, at most, he will put this book until next year to shoot, anyway, the script has been registered with the Screenwriters Association, and he is not afraid of being written.

Listening to Lei Juewen's words, Moss Elding nodded and said, "BOSS, I will arrange this matter and try to find a suitable candidate." ”

Lei Juewen nodded and said: "This matter is entrusted to you, after finding a suitable candidate, contact me immediately, and I will come to the United States for an interview with him." ”

"Okay!" Moss Elter nodded in response.

Today is Saturday, and Lei Juewen spends the morning at Firefly, and in the afternoon he goes to Sente to meet Tina Fett.

"Tina, how much money can the company and I come up with now?"

Tina Fett replied: "The Da Vinci Code has a total of about 380,000 words, and it is sold as a single copy like Jurassic Park, but the price of a single copy has increased by $7, the price is $25, the average cost price of each copy is $7, and the profit of a single copy is $18. So far, the Da Vinci Code has sold a total of 4.28 million copies, and currently maintains a sales volume of about 170,000 copies per week, the novel began to be sold overseas last month, and has been translated into French, German, Italian and other languages, and has sold more than 7.83 million copies in many overseas countries. ”

"Jurassic Park has sold another 1.13 million copies as of today, and a total of 2.21 million copies have been sold overseas, which have been translated into many languages by many countries, and sales are still increasing. The company currently promotes BOSS Your two novels, which have generated a total of about $142 million in benefits for the company, and BOSS has more than $42 million on your private account. After deducting the funds used for the development of the company, the amount of funds you can currently use at BOSS is about $157 million. ”

"Writing novels in the U.S. is really lucrative!"

After listening to Tina Fett's report, a thought immediately flashed through Lei Juewen's mind. Compared with Hong Kong Island, writing novels in the United States makes so much money that there is no comparison at all. But he also knows that this has something to do with whether the novel is good or not, if the novel score is average, it can't make any money, only the best-selling novels can make so much money.

"Tina, I asked you to collect the information of Luen Mei Films, how did you collect it?"

"BOSS, I've collected some."

Tina Fett replied: "The current situation of Lianmei is very bad, although it is listed as one of the eight major Hollywood, but it has been in a loss all these years, if it were not for the 007 series of movies to support, Lianmei would have been bankrupt and liquidated a long time ago, even so, Lianmei has not been able to last long." At present, Luen Mei owes $65 million to the bank, and the company's market value is $100 million, which is almost reaching the bank's bottom line. ”

Lei Juewen said: "If I want to acquire Luen Mei, what conditions do I need? After all, Lianmei is one of the eight major Hollywood companies, and the channels are there, what he lacks is channels, not excellent films, so he can be said to be bound to get one of the eight Hollywood majors, at least one of them.

Tina Fett knew that Lei Juewen had the idea of acquiring Lianmei when Lei Juewen asked her to collect Lianmei's information, and she was not surprised when she heard this, and replied: "You don't need any conditions, as long as you have enough funds for the boss." However, BOSS, the acquisition of Luen Mei is not a good choice, its debt is too high, there is no profit point, if the acquisition is not good, it is very easy to cause huge losses. ”

"I know this, you can rest assured."

Lei Juewen nodded and said: "Luen Mei will release a film on the 19th of this month, the film is called Heaven's Gate, I am not optimistic about this film, the cost of 36 million US dollars, in my opinion, the box office will not exceed 5 million US dollars, plus the cost of publicity, the loss of Luen Mei is nearly 40 million US dollars, how much investment and how much loss, this is the best time for me to acquire Luen Mei, what do you think?" ”

Tina Fitz nodded: "If this kind of thing really happens like the boss said, then it is naturally the best time to buy Luen Mei after that." At that time, Luen Mei's debt was as high as $65 million, and its market value was relatively low, perhaps the debt was even higher than its market value, and the funds for acquiring it definitely did not exceed $10 million. However, in this case, the boss will need to be responsible for all the bank debts and pay off the bank debts. ”

Lei Juewen said: "The bank's debt is 65 million US dollars, plus 10 million US dollars for acquisitions, which is in my bottom line. Tina, you remember to pay attention to the reaction of the top management of United States after the release of Heaven's Gate, and once there is a change in United States, they will immediately intervene and make an acquisition. I got the news that MGM is also interesting to United States, and maybe MGM will be my opponent. ”

Tina Fett didn't ask Lei Juewen where he got the news, but said: "BOSS, MGM is not worried, MGM itself is not doing well, even if it wants to acquire, it can't pay a lot of money, in the case of debt, I dare to guarantee that MGM will definitely not pay an additional $10 million in cash, MGM cash does not have so much capital." ”

"I'll leave this to you."

Lei Juewen nodded and said, if he can, he still wants to buy Lianmei, after all, the current Hollywood Eight have the possibility of selling Lianmei, and several other major companies are still insisting on it for the time being, and will not sell, it will take him a few years to start, and in a few years, he can use Lianmei's channels to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, wasting time, is wasting money.

Lei Juewen then chatted with Tina Fett, about United Pictures, about Vincennes Press, and only after half an hour did he leave Vincent.
