Zhou Xingxing was the first to speak: "Mr. Ye, we believe in Mr. Zhang's strength, but you should be specific, what kind of script is this, so that we can have an estimate in our hearts." ”

"Yes, 100 million US dollars is not a small amount, it is not directed by Mr. Zhang Heng, and no director is afraid that any director can double this number!" The well-known director Wang Jing also shouted on the side.

"Mr. Ye, let's talk about it in detail, the first auction item is so unique, and we are also more interested in the remaining two." Ma Yun said with a smile.

Everyone looked at Ye Hui.

Ye Hui nodded: "Okay, I'll talk about the general idea of this script, this script is about a teenager who was traveling with his family, encountered a shipwreck, everyone on the boat died, including the teenager's family, only the boy and a Bengal tiger survived, man and tiger drifted in the lifesaving boat for 227 days, checked and balanced each other but relied on each other, and finally established a strange relationship, and jointly overcame difficulties and was reborn." ”

There was a burst of discussion among the people.

In the end, Taiwanese director Li An stood up and asked: "There is nothing surprising about such a script in itself, and the plot does not achieve the idea of pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, this should be a Hollywood-oriented movie, and I am afraid that the use of it can only be the most popular 3D mode movie lens, Mr. Ye, I want to ask, if this movie is filmed, what will be Director Zhang's estimated shooting cost and final box office figures?" ”

This is a problem that everyone is concerned about, the high cost of filming is certain, after all, the script alone has a starting price of 100 million US dollars, and the shooting cost of the script is probably higher, if the final box office figure is not worth the price of the script, it will be funny, I am afraid it will become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

Ye Hui patted the glass ball and said with a smile: "Our boss said that he is not a god, even if he comes to shoot this movie, I am afraid that there is a certain probability of hitting the street, how much money can be made, the boss doesn't know, he can only roughly estimate a number......"

"How much?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

Ye Hui glanced around the scene and found that the eyes of those directors and producers were particularly hot, so he said with a smile: "Aside from the value of the script, because this movie is a 3D lens, the production cost will not be less than 100 million US dollars, and the final box office figure, our boss said, the minimum will not be less than 600 million US dollars, if it is filmed by director Li An, the minimum box office will not be less than 1 billion US dollars." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone could expect the high cost of making zuò, but the final box office figure made everyone unbelievable.

$600 million?

If it's just the box office, this number can only be regarded as average, and after cutting out the share with the theater chain, the producer can only keep the film from losing, but this is only the box office, don't forget that there is an online box office in this world!

Although the power of online movies is not as influential as the theater box office, its money-making power is sometimes no less than that of theaters!

So it's definitely a sure-fire deal!

Of course, this is just Zhang Heng's words, Zhang Heng is not a god, and what he said is not necessarily right, but his accurate law of the film market has made many people admire.

What makes everyone wonder is why others only make this movie with a box office of $600 million, but director Li An shoots it is the beginning of the minimum $1 billion box office?

The most excited person at the scene is Li An, who can be affirmed by the Oscar Best Director Zhang Heng, for Li An, a Taiwanese director who wants to win the Oscar, it is simply the highest honor, his excited face exploded, and blurted out: "Really? Can this film get me an Oscar for Best Director? ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Best Director?

Or the Oscar for Best Director?

Although Li An has the experience of being shortlisted for the Oscar awards, he has no chance to win the Oscar for Best Director, and now only Zhang Heng is the only Chinese in the world who can win the Oscar for Best Director.

Even Li An himself couldn't help but have a fever on his face, he was too impulsive just now, but he didn't expect to shout out the thoughts in his heart.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after Ye Hui heard Li An's impulsive words, not only did he not sneer, but said with great appreciation and encouragement: "I don't know if you can win the Oscar for Best Director, but our boss said that if there is anyone else in the Chinese world besides him who can win the Oscar, he said that Director Li An is definitely the first candidate." ”

Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't expect Zhang Heng to be so optimistic about Li An.

"Moreover, our boss also said that if you can, he hopes that you can auction it off to verify whether his vision is accurate, and he may be able to see it in a year."

Everyone looked at Ye Hui in a daze, and subconsciously thought that Ye Hui was definitely a spy sent by a competitor of Nirvana Media Group, and this Nima was definitely pushing his boss into the fire pit!

No matter how good Li An is, it is impossible to achieve 100% guaranteed box office hits, right? And can you win the Oscars?

Everyone knows that Li An is indeed talented, in 1992 his first work "Pusher" was nominated for eight awards including Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards, and the second film shot the following year was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, and won many awards such as Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Favorite Work at the Golden Horse Awards.

In 1995, he was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Hard Drive, for "Sense and Sensibility", and in the following years, he won many awards in the film industry in a row.

It wasn't until 2001 that Li An successfully won four awards including the 73rd Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film with the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but it was still extremely far away from Best Director, the most important award in the eyes of directors, and even later "Brokeback Mountain" was only nominated for Best Director.

In 2009, after Ang Lee's comedy film "Making Woodstock Music Industry" failed to hit the Oscars again, three years have passed, Ang has not been nominated for any awards, as if he has fallen silent.

At the end of 2011, Li An, who was invited by Zhang Heng's script to the Nirvana Media Group Gala, originally just came to relax, but he didn't expect to encounter a movie script that made his heart beat faster.

The $100 million script is undoubtedly the most expensive script Li An has seen since his debut, but if this script can make him hit the Oscar for Best Director, then it is not expensive!

So after Ye Hui finished telling the general idea of the movie "Life of Pi" and obtained Zhang Heng's affirmation and assurance, Li An finally couldn't help shouting: "I am willing to shoot this script for 100 million US dollars!" ”

But obviously, in addition to Li An, in the face of the opportunity to hit the Oscars, countless directors and producers can't bear it.

This is a movie script that has been guaranteed by Zhang Heng, not to mention 100 million US dollars, as long as it can win the Oscar for Best Director, I am afraid that 200 million US dollars is worth it!

"I'll give 110 million!"

"I'll give 120 million!"

……

"160 million, don't fight with me, Director Zhang also said, I am the most suitable for this movie!" Li An blushed and shouted.

Wang Jing was suddenly reluctant, and said loudly: "Since it is an auction, everyone has the opportunity to participate, Director Li An, it's not right for you to say that, even if we can't shoot a box office of more than one billion dollars, but if there are 600 million and can hit the Oscars, I am willing to shoot it!" I'll pay $200 million! ”

The scene was suddenly silent.

200 million US dollars for a script, I am afraid there is no such expensive script in the world, it is absolutely unprecedented, and there is no one to come!

The price of 200 million US dollars suddenly made a group of directors and producers retreat, but there are still some people who feel that it is absolutely worth buying, such as Li Lianjie, Zhang Yimou and others.

Li Lianjie saw that everyone present stopped talking, so he gritted his teeth and said, "220 million!" ”

The scene was suddenly ablaze.

Everyone looked at Li Lianjie, people knew that Li Lianjie had a lot of money, and the One Fund he opened was even more wealthy, although it was not as powerful as Alipay, but it was also a small cornucopia, since Li Lianjie dared to ask for a price, with his vision in the industry for 20 years, I am afraid that this script is really worth such a gambling money.

Zhang Yimou, who was originally going to shout the price, also withdrew, he originally wanted to shout two to 10 million, who knew that Li Lianjie was so fierce, and he increased by 20 million all of a sudden, and 20 million was his bottom line, and no matter how much he couldn't take.

Director Xiangjiang and the king of comedy, Zhou Xingxing, glanced at the expressions of everyone at the scene, knowing that 220 million was probably already settled, and then looked at Li An's unwilling expression, so he walked over, patted Li An's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Li." ”

Li An stared at the script in the glass ball, he couldn't get it out of two or twenty million, although he was unwilling, but he could only give up, he was already thinking about it, when the auction was over, he would go to the bookstore to buy a copy of the novel "Life of Pi" to see, he wanted to know, why Zhang Heng said that this movie was very suitable for him to shoot, why this movie, as long as he made it, it was possible to get the coveted little golden man.

was patted on the shoulder, Li An turned his head impatiently, and when he saw that it was Zhou Xingxing, he immediately wondered: "Master Xing, what's the matter?" ”

"If you really want to shoot a script," Zhou Xingxing pointed to the glass ball: "I can lend you 100 million for the time being." ”

100 million, naturally, is not RMB, nor Hong Kong dollars, but US dollars.

Li An felt that a door that was closed in front of him was suddenly opened again, and the light emanating from Zhou Xingxing's body flashed and he couldn't open his eyes a little.
