readx;?“ In addition, our science fiction blockbuster with a budget of more than 100 million yuan, before the release of the movie, will simultaneously release games, comics, animation and the development of peripheral products, for which our company will invest another 100 million Hong Kong dollars to develop peripheral related products. We www.biquge.info please keep an eye on our news. ”
After Gu Weiqi finished speaking, he sat down. The opportunity to answer questions from reporters was given to Cameron and others. After all, he is the director of this movie, and it is more important to promote this director and increase his fame. After all, Cameron is not the "king of the world" in the original time and space, and it is very necessary to increase his exposure at present.
I saw that Cameron specially changed into a suit at this moment, his hair was also specially groomed, and he talked eloquently in front of the camera, facing various questions from reporters, without stage fright. In fact, if you think about it, Westerners are better at expressing themselves. Not as reserved and reserved as the Orientals.
However, in order to maintain a sense of mystery, Cameron did not reveal the plot, but just told everyone that this is a very wonderful science fiction film. Please look forward to it. The actors are still in the screening stage, and it depends on the company's arrangement. After all, the crew has not yet been prepared, and he has no good candidates for the actor at present, so he can only use this excuse to prevaricate the reporters.
Finally, the press conference was held, and a group of reporters hurried back to catch up with the draft, and the press conference auditorium was quiet.
However, the employees of Donglai Company surrounded Gu Weiqi, because he had just said that he would invest 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the development of "Terminator" peripheral related products. No one knew this, and he hadn't said it at the meeting beforehand. In fact, he only remembered it on a sudden whim, but I have to say that this news is really exciting.
Gu Weiqi led everyone to the conference room again, and Chen Xunqi couldn't help but ask first: "Archie, do you really plan to invest another 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the development of products related to this movie?" ”
"That's right."
Gu Weiqi nodded, looked around at everyone and smiled: "Actually, this matter is also what I just thought of. But the benefits are enormous. First of all, we can develop the relevant products of this film to the greatest extent to maximize its benefits. Secondly, it can create an interactive effect in publicity. When you watch the movie again, you can think of games, manga, anime, etc. ”
Cameron continued: "And when you watch anime, you can think of games, movies, and manga? ”
"That's right, that's what I mean by interaction. It can also be called a chain reaction. ”
Lin Zhenying nodded and said, "If that's the case, it sounds pretty good." However, no one can guarantee that the film will be 100% successful, and if something goes wrong in that link, won't other development projects be affected? ”
"Don't worry about this, I'm sure Director Cameron won't disappoint you. However, in order to create a high-quality film, I plan to ask Gao Zhisen, Lan Naicai, and Luo Lixian, who are more skilled in special effects technology, to assist Mr. Cameron in making this film with all his might. Of course, this movie is still dominated by you. No problem, right? ”
"Of course, I don't have any problems."
Cameron shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, through understanding, I found that the special effects skills of the technical talents in our company's special effects department are still relatively solid. With the assistance of Director Gao, Director Lan and Manager Luo, I will definitely be able to make this movie even better. However, I hope that the actor company will recommend some more suitable ones for me to choose as soon as possible. ”
"Okay." Gu Weiqi nodded and said, "You guys pull the crew up first, and I will personally communicate with Mr. Zhao from the brokerage department on the actor's side." I just promise not to delay you in starting up and shooting. ”
"That's for the best."
"Alright, that's all for today's meeting, let's adjourn."
With a wave of Gu Weiqi's hand, everyone walked out of the conference room one after another.
At the same time, the news that the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" invested hundreds of millions of yuan to shoot a new film also spread throughout Xiangjiang through the live broadcast of Phoenix TV. At this time, whether it was Shao Yifu, Fu Wenhuai, or Lei Juekun, they all got this exciting news.
When Fu Wenhuai and Lei Juekun learned about it, they were both taken aback. While admiring Gu Weiqi, a young man, is amazingly courageous, he also feels a lot of pressure. After all, the two of them's Jiahe Company and Xinyi Chengjun have invested in two blockbusters, and they are ready to rely on big investment to make a beautiful comeback.
But now Gu Weiqi has released the news that he wants to shoot a sci-fi blockbuster, especially with an investment of more than 100 million, which is far larger than their investment. In particular, an additional 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be invested in the development of peripheral related products, which suddenly makes the two tycoons feel bad. This is clearly aimed at their big cast films, and the killer feature released.
Originally, they thought that their investment was amazing enough, but now the investment given to Gu Weiqi is nothing compared to it. It's almost a foil and a joke. But now the two of them are still smiling bitterly in addition to a wry smile. Because the financial resources of the two of them are not as strong as Gu Weiqi's.
I can't fight with money, and when it comes to creativity, there are not as many ideas as Gu Weiqi's side, it seems that this battle has not started, and they have already lost three points in momentum first. However, these two are also worthy of being tried-and-tested tycoons who have been rolling around in the mall for many years. When I learned the news, I immediately held a meeting with the company's senior management to stabilize the position and let everyone do what they should do.
Although Gu Weiqi has now released his big move, they are not afraid. In fact, in the final analysis, everything still depends on the quality of the movie. Even if you invest one billion, but the movie produced is not good, the audience may not buy it. After all, the audience's vision is bright, and no one is stupid.
In this way, Jiahe and Xinyicheng can be regarded as stabilizing the normal operation, but Shao Yifu is not stable.
Because before "The Barefoot Kid" was released, he hoped that Gu Weiqi would get a good script to cooperate with him, preferably a blockbuster. But Gu Weiqi has been dragging it out, until now the "barefoot boy" is about to be painted, but Gu Weiqi still has no reaction. But now the news of the blockbuster film suddenly broke out.
It's a pity that nothing happened to him. However, he knew that Gu Weiqi, a young man, almost never fought an unsure father-in-law. Looking at the films he has written and invested in in the past, almost all of them have sold well and gained a lot. In his opinion, this time is definitely no exception, and with an investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, he estimates that at least one billion profits will be transferred.
Rao is tycoon is rich, but he can't help but be moved in the face of such a big profit, so he called Gu Weiqi and asked him out for lunch. In fact, inviting him to dinner is fake, the real purpose is to see if you can discuss with him, and let him invest some money, even if it is a third of the investment, the rate of return is amazing.
However, Shao Tycoon has been playing movies for a long time, and the microphone has been prompting that the phone you dialed is on the phone, please dial again later, and I can't help but smile bitterly.
How did he know that since Gu Weiqi released the news of the "Terminator" project for filming, many artists have called him, hoping to join the "Terminator" crew. Even if you can't be the main role, it's a good qualification to be a supporting role. After all, at this time, Xiangjiang has never invested more than 100 million yuan.
In particular, Gu Weiqi also said at the press conference that the actor has not yet been decided, which means that if you are lucky, you can get a good relationship with Gu Weiqi, maybe you can be selected as the leading role. So after Gu Weiqi had a meeting and returned to the office, Big Brother kept ringing. Among them, female artists greet him the most.
Gu Weiqi has been answering the phone, and Shao Daheng naturally can't get through for a while. When he just got through, he didn't have time to speak to Gu Weiqi, and Gu Weiqi's eldest brother ran out of power directly. I had no choice but to call the landline in Gu Weiqi's office, but it took me a long time to get through.
"Ouch, Boss Gu, your phone call is really difficult, it took someone a long time to get through." As soon as Gu Weiqi picked up the phone, Shao Tycoon's voice came.
Gu Weiqi said lightly: "No way, Gu's company is busy with business." I wonder what happened when Boss Shao called me? ”
Shao Tycoon replied: "I want to invite you to lunch, by the way, talk about the movie 'Terminator', and see if Gu can participate in part of the investment, so as to help Boss Gu share some of the investment risks, right?" ”
"Forget about eating, Gu Mou already has an appointment at noon, let's go another day." Gu Weiqi said: "As for the movie 'Terminator', I believe it will definitely be a money-making film." So for the matter of Boss Shao helping me share the investment risk, I think it's okay. However, Gu still wants to thank Boss Shao for his kindness. ”
As soon as Shao Yifu heard this, he knew that there was nothing to do with him in this film, and he couldn't intervene if he wanted to, so he couldn't help but feel angry, so he said: "Since that's the case, forget it." However, Boss Gu promised Gu someone's script a few days ago, and now it should be about the same, right? Soon the barefoot kid is going to paint, do you think we will continue to make another one? ”
"Well, I already have a rough idea of the script. But I still need to think about the specifics, and think about it carefully. Please also ask Boss Shao not to be impatient, and wait patiently for Gu's news. Gu Weiqi prevaricated.
Shao Daheng secretly scolded in his heart, "Little fox, still fooling the old man", but he asked reluctantly: "When will it be?" Please also ask Boss Gu to give someone Gu an exact message. ”
"Half a month later, because Gu Mou recently has to personally select the actors of 'Terminator', it is estimated that it will take half a month to get the script ready."
"That's okay, Shao someone will wait patiently for another half a month, and then wait for the new script that Boss Gu will come up with." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Gu Weiqi pouted, this old fox is really not easy to fool. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Shao Tycoon took advantage of the fire to rob when he had an accident a few days ago, the two of them would have cooperated quite happily, and it didn't matter if they took him to make some money together. Anyway, you can't make enough money.
But since something like that happened, Gu Weiqi really didn't want to cooperate with the other party anymore.
But because the other party finally helped his company settle the ban, it was not good for him to tear his face with the other party. Of course, even if this is the case, it always feels uncomfortable to make money with each other. So I have been delaying the script that promised the other party. Anyway, he has all kinds of scripts in his mind, and he will delay it first, but he really can't delay it anymore, so he can just throw one to him when the time comes.
Thinking so, Gu Weiqi also put down the phone.
