Chen Ping'an still doesn't know what kind of uproar his 100 million-scale fund-raising order has caused in Hong Kong and Taiwan. And under the turbulent and tumbling waves, there are countless undercurrents brewing, quietly surging.

Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Debao really set their sights on the American market for the first time, seriously thinking about the transformation and take-off achieved by Dark Horse International in just two or three years, and began to think about how to make a lot of money in the United States like Chen Ping'an.

There are only three of them in Hong Kong, and other film companies are trapped by funding and their own scale, and it is too far for them to develop the American market. However, there are many film companies in Taiwan, which have the same idea as Golden Harvest, Debao, and Xinyicheng.

"The Terminator" only achieved a box office of more than 3 million in Hong Kong, and the response was average, but it caused a sensation in Taiwan, and Arnold Schwarzenegger won the reputation of "Devil Arnold" in Taiwan.

This time, Chen Ping'an issued the third fundraising order, and the target film is the sequel to "The Terminator", the director is still James Cameron, and the starring role is Arnold Schwarzenegger, with an investment of 100 million US dollars...... Taiwanese film companies did not look forward like many film companies in Hong Kong, and immediately made a decision after receiving the news and participated in the fundraising!

In the three fundraising orders, the target films were all Western films, and the first two were successful. This time, Chen Ping'an actually dared to invest 100 million, which shows that he attaches great importance to the American market, and it also shows that the American film market is vast, just like being a gold mountain, waiting for people to come to pan for gold!

The profit-seeking nature of capital cannot be avoided, and it is precisely because of this characteristic that the sense of smell of these capitals is very keen.

Chen Ping'an used his experience of "getting rich" and raising money again and again to make a large amount of money in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia keenly smell the huge profits contained in the American film market.

Because the Hong Kong film industry is rigidly controlled by the four major cinema chains, it is difficult for many overseas funds to invade. Now "Terminator 2" with an investment of 100 million. From the first day of the newspaper, it has been striking the nerves of these huge capitals at all times, directing the eyes of these funds to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Try it small. It was the initial idea of these capitals. Countless pairs of eyes stared at Chen Ping'an, staring at Chen Ping'an's third Jianghu fundraising order. is staring at "Terminator 2", just waiting for the box office after the release of this movie that costs hundreds of millions.

This result will change the pattern of Asian cinema in a big way.

This is what Chen Ping'an wants to see the most, and it is also one of his wishes. However, he is far away in Los Angeles and does not know that this wish of his is the third fundraising order of the rivers and lakes. Start doing it in a subtle and silent way.

"Terminator 2" invested 100 million US dollars, which not only caused a sensation in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia, but also caused a shock in the United States. is still the same sentence, even in Hollywood, "Terminator 2" is the first movie with an investment of hundreds of millions.

"Can't you stop the meeting?" When Zhong Chuhong said this, he was lying in Chen Ping'an's arms.

Outside the window, the night is quiet, the starry sky is charming, Zhong Chuhong is in a private apartment in Los Angeles, and the two have just exchanged their bodies and movements. * After getting tired of being together, caressing each other, and enjoying the aftertaste.

"Won't I stop now?" Chen Ping'an had a wicked smile on his face. "Who just yelled at me to do it hard?"

"Nasty!" Zhong Chuhong patted Chen Ping'an's chest, "You know that's not what I'm talking about." You have to think about it, that's an investment of hundreds of millions! ”

What Zhong Chuhong said is naturally "Terminator 2". The investment of 100 million US dollars is a precedent in the world film industry, and more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely not a small amount. Although Chen Ping'an is rich now, how many dollars can he toss? How could Zhong Chuhong not worry about his man?

"What's the problem?"

"What do you say?"

In Zhong Chuhong's view, Chen Ping'an is no longer the poor boy he was at the beginning. Dark Horse International is not the entrepreneurial stage of the year. Now Chen Ping'an has a successful career, and the company is also on the right track. It should be developed slowly for stability, and the most taboo is risky investment. It increases the company's operational risk.

She has been in the United States for so long, and she has also adapted to the large investment in American films, so she will invite several film companies to invest together, and at the same time, the interests are equal, but it is not to reduce the risk. Therefore, she can follow the Hollywood model and bring in some investment from film companies such as Twentieth Century Fox and Columbia.

"You really have the talent of a housekeeper!" Chen Ping'an touched her face and told her about the investment plan of "Terminator 2".

"Terminator 2" claims to invest $100 million, but in fact, 80 million is almost enough, which is the conclusion he reached after discussing with James Cameron for two nights.

Of the 80 million investments, 20 million were raised through the Guò Jianghu fundraising order, and of the remaining 60 million, he was confident that he would get about 10 million advertising sponsorships, and the remaining 50 million US dollars would not pose much of a problem for him.

In fact, he would have invested less, as Anne Heard objected this time. Several movies shot by Chen Ping'an always use the American Dark Horse International to enjoy the domestic box office sharing model in the United States, while the American Dark Horse International cannot share any revenue from it.

This time, Anne Heard proposed that the American Dark Horse International should also occupy a place in "Terminator 2", and she wanted to participate in investment and filming!

After some bargaining, the movie "Terminator 2", the American Dark Horse International invested 20 million US dollars, plus the 20 million raised by the Jianghu fund-raising order, and the advertising sponsorship may reach 10 million, and the investment quota of Hong Kong Dark Horse International is between 30 million US dollars and 40 million US dollars.

Do you need to worry about this kind of investment?

Zhong Chuhong didn't know before, but now she heard that she was much more relaxed in her heart, and the next moment she coquettishly said: "Such a big thing, you actually hide it from me!" ”

"Don't I want you to worry about it? Since men have the ability to make money, then women only need to learn to spend money, so why bother so much? Women worry too much and they get old. ”

It was a joke, but Zhong Chuhong's expression suddenly dimmed, and he said faintly: "Yes, I'm a year older this year......

"Don't think about it!" Chen Ping'an couldn't guess Zhong Chuhong's thoughts, turned over and pressed it under him, kissing like rain, "Even if you are a hundred years old, I will love you as always, and I will be with you every day." ”

"Nonsense, how could I afford you to mess around like this at that time!"

"Then we should cherish the present even more, right? I'm going to go in......"

At 6 p.m. on March 30, the Los Angeles Music Center in California hosted the 59th Academy Awards. The evening was broadcast live on ABC in the United States, with Samuel Goldwin Jr. as producer, Marty Pasetta as director, and three actors as co-hosts: Chevices, Goldwyn and Paul Hogan.

Chen Ping'an followed Cameron and Anne Hurd on the red carpet and walked into the Los Angeles Music Center. Chandler Hall.

Along the way, the heads of many film companies came to greet Anne Heard, and the topic of chat was "Terminator 2", and many people wanted to participate in the investment, but Anne Heard declined with a smile.

Many people think that the 100 million dollar investment of "Terminator 2" is the American dark horse international and the handiwork of Anne Heard, so they greet her and Cameron very warmly, and often ignore Chen Ping'an, who is standing beside them, is the real master!

It was very uncomfortable to be ignored, but Chen Ping'an didn't care. In the United States, not to mention the faces of the East, even blacks who went through the Civil War with whites often experience this kind of treatment. Chen Ping'an likes the feeling of suddenly erupting in obscurity, so he doesn't plan to say anything or do anything this time, he just wants to see the Oscars live.

Zhong Chuhong couldn't see it, and grabbed Chen Ping'an's arm: "A'an, I saw a few friends over there, I introduced them to you, you will definitely be interested." ”

Following Zhong Chuhong's gaze, Chen Ping'an saw two oriental faces, a man and a woman, who were very familiar and couldn't help but be happy. Only then did he remember that before Zhong Chuhong, there were still a small number of Chinese active on the Hollywood screen, and the best mix was the two people in front of him.

Zun Long and Chen Chong!

“hi，joan！！”

“hi，cherie！”

There are not many Chinese actors in Hollywood, because they are all Chinese, Zhong Chuhong has a good relationship with Zunlong and Chen Chong, although the two parties have not cooperated in the movie, but the common Yanhuang blood makes them naturally close to the American film industry.

"I'll introduce you to you, this is ......"

"No need to introduce, the young and promising director Chen Da, how many Chinese in the United States don't know?" Chen Chong smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello Mr. Chen, my name is Chen Chong, and we are still our family." ”

"Hello Miss Chen Chong, I'm Chen Ping'an, and Miss Chen herself is as beautiful as being on camera."

"Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Zunlong, and I like to watch your "City of Myths" very much."

"Hello Mr. Zunlong, your performance in "Year of the Dragon" is extremely superb."

After a brief greeting, the four stood together and chatted. Born in Hong Kong, he immigrated to the United States at the age of 17. Chen Chong was born in Shanghai, studied in the United States in 81, studied film production at California State University Northridge, and starred in the American movie "Taipan" by chance last year.

The four of them have a lot in common together. Talk about life, talk about movies, talk about the differences between Hong Kong, the mainland and the United States. Zunlong and Zhong Chuhong don't know the mainland, but Chen Ping'an knows very well, which greatly surprised the three of them, and also made Chen Chong feel cordial.

Soon the conversation of the four of them turned back to the movie. Zunlong and Chen Chong lamented Chen Ping'an's courage and invested 100 million yuan to shoot "Terminator 2"; Chen Ping'an asked about "The Last Emperor", and he knew very well that at next year's Academy Awards, "The Last Emperor" starring Zunlong and Chen Chong would be his biggest competitor.

The four of them were chatting happily, but they couldn't help but hear a strange voice behind them: "Yo, this is really like a gathering of things." A good award ceremony, just because you four yellow-skinned monkeys made a miasma! (To be continued) R655
