What's next?

After returning home after a busy day of trailer editing, Lin Yuquan sat at his desk and began to seriously consider this issue, after filming "Hurricane Rescue", he immediately devoted himself to the filming of "Wild Story", followed by the publicity and release of "Hurricane Rescue", the Golden Horse Awards, framing, and the post-production of "Wild Story", and he never had time to think about it.

For Lin Yuquan, what he has to do is, of course, very simple, make a movie, make a movie that he likes, but a very simple thing stumped him, because he found that he didn't have the movie he wanted to make for a while, yes, there were movies to make, but there was no movie he wanted to make.

Although Lin Yuquan can directly start the filming plan of "Wild Tales 2: Wild War", or shoot a sequel according to the mode of "Hurricane Rescue", of course, he can also take over Universal Pictures' "Fast and Exciting * Emotions 4", but he doesn't want to do this for the time being, after making two movies in a row, he needs something fresher to stimulate himself and make a completely different type of movie.

But this needs inspiration, not that he can immediately think of what to make if he wants to make it, and as a movie that he really wants to make in his heart, he needs to have his own feelings.

"Oh, really." Lin Yuquan smiled bitterly, and finally felt the feeling that every time he forced Ning Hao, Ning Hao thought hard at home, this was indeed not forced.

"Lalala, lalala, can't see through your lost soul, can't guess the color of your pupils, a gust of wind and a dream, love is as unpredictable as life, what is your heart bewitched, your silhouette is drowned in the night"

The mobile phone rang, and Lin Yuquan picked up the phone. A smile immediately appeared on his face. I just feel that my troubles have disappeared. said to the microphone: "Hey, Yifei, have you finished filming the morning scene?" ”

"That's right, Brother Yuquan, I just finished lunch and went back to the Dawning House to rest." Liu Yifei's sweet and beautiful voice came from the phone.

And the Dawning House is nothing else, it is the accommodation place not far from the Dawning Film and Television Base, which has been officially named the Dawning House. In addition to eleven villas and bungalows with different styles, there are two six-story hotels and a three-story restaurant, which are enough to accommodate 600 people.

With the investment of 150 million yuan in Shuguang Film and Television this year to further expand the scale of Shuguang Film and Television Base, a ten-story apartment with an elevator at a cost of 25 million yuan is also under construction.

"Oh, are you going to shoot again in the afternoon?" Lin Yuquan got up and walked to the sofa, and said with a smile as he walked.

"Well, it's going to shoot. Brother Yuquan, how busy are you with your movie editing? Liu Yifei asked with concern, these days. The two talk on the phone every day, so the girl knows his job well.

"I'll be busy for two more days and I'll almost finish work." Lin Yuquan said with a smile: "Today I received an invitation from someone to direct their movie, you definitely can't guess what movie." ”

"Heh, I don't have to guess I know I can't guess." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Yifei, why don't you ask me, aren't you curious?" Lin Yuquan crossed his legs with a smile in his eyes.

"Of course I'm curious, but I don't need to ask, because I know that since you said so, Brother Yuquan, you will definitely sue me." Liu Yifei said confidently.

"Wow, that's a smart one." After Lin Yuquan laughed, he Lang. Meyer asked him to direct "Fast and Furious 4" and told the girl, in fact, he sued Liu Yifei, and he also had the idea of listening to the girl's construction.

"Oh, "Fast and Exciting *Love", I know this movie, did you agree to Brother Yuquan?" Liu Yifei said happily.

"Of course not, do you think I'm the kind of person who agrees to an invitation at the first time?" Lin Yuquan smiled.

"Why? Could it be that the salary they give is too low? Liu Yifei asked.

"It's not, they're very sincere, if I agree to direct and star, they will pay me $30 million, or $15 million plus 10% of the box office, and this is only a preliminary offer, and if you talk about it, the pay will be higher." Lin Yuquan said casually.

"Wow, $30 million, $15 million and 10% box office share, this should be the highest salary a Chinese director can get in Hollywood!" Liu Yifei sighed.

"Heh, I haven't agreed yet, and this is not the highest, Wu Yusen seems to have received a salary of $30 million plus dividends in "Memory Rift" after the success of "Changing Face" and "Mission Impossible 2". Lin Yuquan said with a chuckle.

"Hmph, that's it, won't you come back later? And Brother Yuquan, you also said that this is just a preliminary offer. Because of Lin Yuquan's relationship, Liu Yifei obviously doesn't have a good impression of Wu Yusen.

"But I'm not going to take it, no matter how high they pay, it's useless." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Brother Yuquan, why don't you take it, is it because you have a new movie plan?" Liu Yifei asked with a little confusion and curiosity.

"It's not, but I'm not interested in directing "Fast and Thrilling", to be exact, I don't feel anything, I don't want to take on movies just because of the high remuneration offered by Universal Pictures, there is no need for this." Lin Yuquan shook his head, if it was for money, instead of spending a few months making a movie, he would rather go to Myanmar to gamble on stones, now the price of jadeite raw materials has risen again and again, the wool material that he gambled on last time was worth 2 billion at the time, and now it is worth 4 billion, tens of millions of dollars in earnings, he went to Myanmar to make it easy.

"Oh, that's right." Thinking of Lin Yuquan's terrifying net worth, Liu Yifei suddenly understood, and she herself also deeply understood what Lin Yuquan said, because of the popularity of several film and television dramas in a row, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and "The Moon Knife at the End of the World", she has now become the most popular young actress in China, and there are many people looking for her to make dramas, but she has not taken it except for the episodes of the Dawning Movie, although the other party has a higher salary, but she just doesn't want to take on those messy and shoddy dramas.

Of course, Liu Yifei still smacked her tongue, after all, she only refused two or three million. Lin Yuquan can be poured well. directly pushed at least more than 200 million. If this news is exposed, I don't know how many people in the entertainment industry will scold my mother.

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei showed a smile on his face: "Then Brother Yuquan, how did you get back to the absolute square?" ”

"I refused directly at first, but then because of the other party's sincerity, he said that he needed time to think about it, Yifei, do you think I should take it? Let's say I don't have a movie plan for the time being. Lin Yuquan asked, this was indeed a question that puzzled him. He doesn't want to make movies like "Wild Tales 2" or "Fast and Exciting 4" that he doesn't want to make for the time being, but he doesn't want to waste precious time.

"Brother Yuquan, do you have any ideas you want to shoot? If not, anyway, if I change it, I'd rather not shoot, and I won't force myself to shoot unhappily, I can earn less money, but my life is my own. Liu Yifei said firmly, in the past, she always obeyed her mother's arrangement, and later learned to be independent. She organizes her own life, as she has done in the past. In the future, she will do this even more, if she is not filming, she can accompany Brother Yuquan.

Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, yes, what is there to be entangled, why do you want to force yourself to shoot unhappily, he suddenly remembered the days when he filmed "I Am a Special Soldier", at that time he starred in "I am a Special Soldier" because he didn't want to waste time, I remember that after talking to Wang Luodan at that time, he said to himself that he would only make the movies he wanted to make in the future, and it was only how long he fell into the same entanglement.

"Thank you, Yifei, I know what I have to do." Lin Yuquan suddenly became relaxed.

"Huh." Liu Yifei smiled happily, happy that he could help Brother Yuquan.

After chatting for a while, the two ended the call, and after thinking about it carefully, Lin Yuquan finally made a decision.

I don't know what Shi Shi is doing at this time? Lin Yuquan looked at the night outside the house through the window and muttered to himself, every time in the dead of night these days, he would think of that girl.

Silent all night, with a relaxed mood, Lin Yuquan and Michael. Kahn immersed himself in the studio and worked for two days to complete the final cut of the film and the editing of the three-wave trailer without any stops, and the next day, he was back at Summit Entertainment.

Not only him, but all the management of Summit Entertainment gathered in the conference room, which was not only a summary of the past year's work, but also a discussion of next year's development plan.

There is no doubt that in the past year, Summit Entertainment has achieved enough impressive results, although only the films released this year are "Hostess" and "Hurricane Rescue", and the completed "Twilight: Twilight", "Fatal Bend 2", and "Savage: Rise of the Apees" will be scheduled to be released next year, but it is enough.

The first is "Hostess", this film is Lin Yuquan's harvest at the Sundance Film Festival, it turns out that this is indeed a piece of gold, after the film was released, it finally achieved a North American box office of 23.4 million US dollars, in addition to 3 million US dollars of overseas copyright income and 2.8 million US dollars of income from DVD and TV on demand, after deducting the original purchase of the copyright of 5 million US dollars and 2 million US dollars of publicity fees, Summit Entertainment's final income exceeded 10 million US dollars, That's enough to make the dividends of a successful medium-sized investment film.

Of course, big investment can bring big returns, which is always incomparable to box office dark horses, and "Hurricane Rescue" is the biggest benefit of Summit Entertainment this year.

The total investment of "Hurricane Rescue" is 80 million US dollars, which just meets the standard of Hollywood's A-grade system, but this is because Lin Yuquan did not receive remuneration in the movie, otherwise the investment in the film would have exceeded 100 million. The actors, including Stewart, Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Dwayne "The Rock", were paid $32 million, with a total of $48 million for filming and post-production, in addition to $50 million for global publicity, for a total cost of $128 million.

Up to now, the North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue" is 225 million US dollars, according to the share signed by the theater chain and Summit Entertainment, Summit Entertainment can get 113 million US dollars, and North America alone has basically returned to its original cost, with an overseas box office of 394 million US dollars and a total revenue of 153 million US dollars, according to the current box office trend of "Hurricane Rescue", it is expected to earn more than 200 million US dollars from the box office share alone.

In addition, there are audio and video products, video on demand, overseas TV rights and other expenses, for popular blockbusters, this income is not inferior to box office revenue, before Lin Yuquan's "Huo Yuanjia", "Red Cliff" and "Painted Skin" in the past three years, even if it is a five-fifty share with Fox searchlight, it has also achieved $140 million in revenue, of which "Painted Skin" has contributed a record $68 million in revenue from last year to this year, Relying on this part of the income alone, Shuguang Film is not bad for money, and it invests heavily in Shuguang Film and Television Base and film and television drama production.

There is no doubt that "Hurricane Rescue" will go to the next level compared to "Painted Skin", and according to the global influence of "Hurricane Rescue" today, the revenue of this piece is expected to be more than 150 million US dollars after deducting the global investment in audio and video products.

As a result, "Hurricane Rescue" will contribute more than $300 million to Summit Entertainment as a whole, a figure that is estimated to make all Hollywood studios, including the big six. (To be continued......)
