"Xu Ke's Shushan is a very good script, do you want to shoot this script?"

He Guanchang asked out loud, he still affirmed this script. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zou Wenhuai listened and said: "There is no problem with this script, but the investment required is too large, and I am worried that I will not be able to recover the cost." ”

He Guanchang nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, but it's hard to find a good script, if the book is written by the company's screenwriter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a box office of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars." ”

Of course Zou Wenhuai knows this, if the script taken out by any screenwriter in the company has a box office of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, then he doesn't have to worry about being suppressed by light curtain film and television, and Hong Kong Island has already become the world of Golden Harvest.

"Let Xu Ke think of a way to see if he can compress the cost and try to control the cost at 10 million Hong Kong dollars."

He Guanchang couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "If you compress the cost, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the film to achieve the effect." If you make a four-dislike, the loss will only be greater. ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "I also understand this truth." Let Xu Ke give a plan first.,Let's study it carefully.,Then decide whether to invest in this book.。 ”

He Guanchang said: "Ah Long is still very appealing, although Young Master Long did not reach the box office of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but he also has more than 9 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Ah Long is good, but it is difficult to support it alone, and it is not easy to reach a box office of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars."

Zou Wenhuai clearly knows that the films shot by Cheng Long are mainly based on Cheng Long, and if Cheng Long is the protagonist alone, it is not easy to make the box office enter tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Even if there is, it can only be more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars at most, and it is difficult to have a box office of 15 or 6 million Hong Kong dollars.

He Guanchang nodded in agreement, although Cheng Long is his adopted son, but from a realistic point of view, it is indeed difficult for a film shot with Cheng Long as the protagonist to receive a box office of more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars on Hong Kong Island, after all, the market is so big, and it has to compete with Light Screen Film and Television and Shaw Brothers.

Golden Harvest has taken action, Shaw Brothers' Shaw Yifu has also taken action, and on the morning of the first day of the official release of Modern Bodyguard, Shaw Yifu asked Lei Juewen to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel.

After Lei Juewen and Shao Yifu chatted for a few words, they got to the point.

Shao Yifu said: "Awen, in terms of investment in films, for now, you have not failed, no matter what the reason, I am willing to cooperate with successful people." Last time you made the offer to break into Hollywood, I think I'd like to play with you. ”

Hearing this, Lei Juewen's expression was straight, and he said: "Sixth uncle, I can't guarantee you, but I want to say that my investment is definitely bigger than what you are going to come, so even if the film loses money, my loss must be much greater than that of you." ”

Shao Yifu nodded and asked, "Do you have a book?" ”

Lei Juewen nodded and said: "As early as a few months ago, I registered a few scripts in the United States, Sixth Uncle, if you are interested, I am ready to shoot one of them with you." ”

"In Peru in 1936, archaeologist Indiana Jones found the treasure Chachapoa fertility statue from an ancient temple, and after escaping many traps, he bumped into the archaeologist Belloc, who led many natives to intercept him, as Jones's nemesis, Belloc asked him to hand over the golden statue, and after a chase, Jones escaped by seaplane."

"Back on the American college campus, Jones met two military intelligence agents who revealed to him that the Nazis were looking for Jones's former mentor, Ebner? Ravenwood, Ravenwood was an authoritative expert on ancient Egypt, while the Nazis rediscovered Tanis and believed to be hiding the Ark of the Covenant containing the Ten Commandments. Jones was well aware of the Nazi ambitions, and Ravenwood had a bronze hat indicating the location of the Ark of the Covenant, and once the Ark was obtained by the Nazis, the Nazi army, which had gained mysterious powers, would be invincible and dominate the world. ”

Jones immediately flew to Nepal, only to find that Ravenwood had died and that the bronze hat had been inherited by his daughter, Jones's ex-girlfriend, Marion. The Gestapo Daut led his men into Marion's tavern, and after a fierce exchange of fire, the immortal Jones rushed to Cairo with Marion and the bronze hat. The two found the experienced Egyptian digger Sarah in Cairo, who knew the location of the Nazi excavation, and through the instructions of the bronze cap, they found that the Nazis had misplaced their bearings...."

Lei Juewen slowly narrated the script, the name of this script is Raiders of the Lost Ark, it is a very classic film, and its sequel is also a classic, Lei Juewen registered the script of this film early.

Lei Juewen knew that Lucas had been interested in the original script for a long time, but he had not written the script, and when he submitted the script to the Writers Guild of America, he specially checked that the script had not been registered, and he was one step ahead of Lucas.

Just last month, he received a call from Lucas, who wanted to buy the script in his hand, but he refused. At that time, he proposed the idea of investment, and the other party agreed, but because of the relationship between the investment ratio and the share, it was impossible to reach an agreement, so the script was shelved.

Lei Juewen naturally won't leave the Raiders of the Lost Ark moldy, since he can't cooperate with Lucas and others, then he can shoot it himself. However, the investment in this film is definitely not small, at least more than 15 million US dollars, and for the time being, he does not want to spend so much money on this film, after all, his other industries are booming. But if Shaw is willing to work with him, he doesn't mind spending $10 million to make the film.

After listening to the script, Shao Yifu sighed: "I don't know what you have in your head, you can also think of such a wonderful script, if I remember correctly, this is a new type of film, there has never been such an adventurous treasure hunting film before." ”

Lei Juewen said: "I am very optimistic about the prospects of this film, but the investment in this film is not small, if I am alone, I don't want to shoot this film for the time being." ”

Shao Yifu asked: "Then how much investment does this book need?" ”

Lei Juewen thought for a while and said: "At least fifteen million US dollars are needed, and if you add the promotion of the film, I am afraid that there will be 20 million US dollars." ”

"So much?"

Shaw Yifu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, if it is calculated according to 20 million US dollars, half of the investment will need 10 million US dollars, and 30% will also need 6 million US dollars. And 6 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 30 million Hong Kong dollars, is not a small amount. If you invest less, it doesn't make sense not to say it, but I'm afraid that Lei Juewen won't either, after all, in that case, he might as well shoot it with his own sole ownership.
