If there is no special reason, Li Xuechu doesn't want to break up with Wufa Company. Although in the film industry in the 80s, the era of distribution was king has not yet arrived, offending a few distribution giants is still something that most film production companies dare not try easily.

More importantly, Li Xuechu still remembers that German films still haven't made much progress in the later period, and the era when there is really some improvement has to be placed after the new century, and there are still nearly 20 years before now, and it seems that there are not many things to worry about.

German companies are not stingy in spending money, and they have long had the intention of learning from others, and the rigorous and pragmatic Germans are still good at facing their own shortcomings. Their ideal teacher is Hollywood, and they have put a lot of thought into it, but unfortunately after learning, the students were abducted by the teacher, and there are many famous German directors in Hollywood, but they are serving major Hollywood companies, and few people will run back to China after success.

In the end, German film companies also began to abandon their domestic countries, throwing a lot of money into North America, and then distributing Hollywood blockbusters at home. It wasn't until the government's support conditions became more and more favorable that the local plots of the businessmen were finally re-stimulated, which can be regarded as preserving some of the vitality of domestic films.

This kind of partner who is not much of a threat is, of course, what Li Xuechu wants to maintain the relationship the most.

At the end of the negotiations, Wufa finally installed several crew members in the venue, including the assistant director, the chief photographer and others. In this regard, Li Xuechu is also happy to see it. After all, Xiangjiang filmmakers really don't have much experience in blockbuster production now, and the black hair that insisted on squeezing in invisibly solved the urgent need of Oriental Dreamworks. Do you want to learn from me? In the end, I don't know who will take advantage of it.

In addition to this, there are also many white faces added to the movie. The corresponding movie plot also needs to be re-adapted, the structure is enlarged, and the term is changed for later generations, which is called 'international style'. There is no way, the market is in the hands of others, of course, there is a need to curry favor.

The structure has grown and the budget has increased further. It is estimated that the investment will amount to 65 million, with a reserve of 15 million remaining. Up to 80 million production costs. Judging from the experience of future generations, this record may have been maintained in Xiangjiang for more than ten years.

In Li Xuechu's memory, the movies that were known as big-budget movies in later generations were full of water, and more of them deliberately raised production costs for hype. Not so much. And in the cost budget, most of the funds are still used for the salaries of stars, and there are very few funds invested in special effects and big scenes.

In later generations, many 'blockbusters' that claimed to have invested hundreds of millions of dollars sufficiency the audience's appetite in the early stage of publicity, and finally came out, which immediately disappointed the audience. The special effects are scum, there are almost no big scenes, and even many movies even have shoddy plots and are lackluster.

The first decade of the new century. It is the golden age of many celebrities cheating to eat, and there are few blockbusters of that era that can be called high-quality products. It's almost all hype to cheat money. Every blockbuster has a 'hush money' budget for the media not to 'pour cold water' on it, at least until the end of the screening, so that they can continue to fool others into the theater.

"Eighty million, if you add the publicity expenses in the future, I'm afraid it will be hundreds of millions!" In terms of the current Xiangjiang market, a movie with a production cost of 8 million can be called a blockbuster. This super blockbuster that can make ten 'blockbusters' really shocked Tang Jingnian.

At present, Hong Kong's box office record is the best partner of New Arts City. About 26 million. The film is destined to not recoup the box office in its home country, and it is hanging in the budget to recoup it in Asia.

"It's okay, we don't have much pressure." Li Xuechu said with a smile.

The special effects have fought for a budget of 30 million, and another 5 million reserves, this money is basically to support yourself, deducting this, Oriental DreamWorks really doesn't spend much money, and the pressure is more on Wufa.

But it is not without a price, according to the agreement reached. If the box office is not satisfactory, then the copyright of the film and the videotape market need to be sold to Wufa at a discount. Relying on Wufa's strong distribution ability, as long as the movie is not too bad, Wufa will not lose too much. Xiangjiang's large-scale production is really nothing by European and American standards. The two sides have different patterns, and their views on investment will also be different.

"That's just as well." Tang Fatzi has the joy of cheating the ghost guy, even from the perspective of the special effects company, this investment is also cost-effective.

Li Xuechu was a little unimpressed by the careful thinking of his subordinates, it was too unproductive. The investment should be linked to the return, as long as it can be screened in Europe and the United States, then this cost is really nothing.

Who is most willing to spend money on making movies in Hong Kong? Chen Long's! Chen Long has won the Japanese market, and there are a large number of loyal fans in Japan and South Korea, so Golden Harvest is also very willing to invest in him, tens of millions of dollars are not a problem, and it will gradually increase in the future until it breaks 100 million. For some small companies, the cost of 5 million will make the boss sleep, they basically put the hope of recovering the cost in the local market, and the cost rarely exceeds 3 million.

Without the confidence of the European and American markets, Li Xuechu did not dare to play like this, unless he didn't care about losses.

"We have several movies that have earned enough 80 million, not counting the videotape market. Do you think 80 million is a lot? ”

"Yes, although there is a lot of investment, but it seems that it is really not that serious." Tang Jingnian calmed down when he thought about it, thinking in the worst direction, even if the movie was thrown to the extreme and didn't sell a dime, then at most the crisis-ridden income would be put in, and there would be leftovers.

"So, put away your expression quickly, so that it doesn't look like we're really cheating on people. I wonder if a year from now, people will have to thank us. Uncle Ming, hurry up. ”

"Boss, there are many small detours on the road here, so it's better not to drive so fast." Uncle Ming didn't listen to him and continued to drive the car without hurrying.

"Okay."

……

Germans don't seem to be as one-size-fits-all in life as outsiders say. At least in Li Xuechu's impression, it seems that at least the 'human bear' is still quite good at playing.

Li Xuechu and the two were invited to attend a private party of several people in Wufa. The meeting place was a private villa rented by Wufa's financial staff at DreamWorks.

", Lee! Tang Dynasty! And these two gentlemen. He was greeted by a white man with a bright smile on his face, and he was also one of Wufa's permanent staff in Xiangjiang. The guy has a cheerful and optimistic personality. He looks like a standard German, with light skin tones, faces, and quite angular, about 1.8 meters, which is about the average height of a German.

Of course, such a character is likable, and it didn't take long for the guy to get acquainted with most of the company, and he also made a local girlfriend. It's a very ppy life in Xiangjiang.

"Hello, Nowitzki." When Li Xuechu said his name. I can't help but think of the NBA star in the future. "These two are Uncle Ming and Chen Hu, my driver and bodyguard." Li Xuechu introduced.

"Welcome, please come in, or Martin might not be able to wait to get out." Nowitzki laughed.

"That's right. Is Mr. Schiller coming? Tang Jingnian asked.

"Oh, it's already here, but it's a ride again, and Mr. Schiller loves to ride a bike. I guess I'll be back soon. Nowitzki shrugged: "Come in first, there are coffee machines and snacks on the table, please feel free to use them." ”

"Well, speaking of which, this piece is really suitable for cycling fitness." Li Xuechu planned to go in first and wait.

"He's back."

Before he could take a few steps, Nowitzki said.

Li Xuechu and Tang Jingnian looked back and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

I don't know what it is. Many fat and strong foreigners like to ride relatively mini bicycles, and people and bears seem to have this hobby.

The tall man-bear rode a small, skeletal bicycle and laboriously pedaled in the direction of several people. From a distance, it's easy to lose sight of the bike. It feels like a mountain of meat floating towards the ground, and with the legs moving up and down, it is funny and a little scary.

"Hey! Mister Lee, Mister Tang. The man and bear seemed to put all the previous unhappiness behind him, and greeted the two from afar.

Li Xuechu smiled and watched the 'man bear' ride over, how could he have a sense of immediacy like a charter wife?

The bike stopped in front of the two. A burst of aroma mixed with the smell of sweat rushed to the face.

"Mr. Schiller's interest is really good." Li Xuechu said with a smile.

"I've always been a cyclist and saw Martin buy a car. I couldn't help but take it out for a test ride. ”

"Good habits."

Renxiong smiled and wiped his sweat: "Xiangjiang is really a good place, there are many mountains, the scenery is also good, it is very suitable for cycling, I don't know why so many people choose to buy a car, in fact, the car is far less convenient than the bicycle, and Xiangjiang is not big in general." ”

"After all, cars are faster, aren't they, and Xiangjiang is a place that talks about efficiency." Tang Fatzi said.

"It's understandable." The man-bear nodded.

It seems that many Germans are quite fond of bicycles, and they don't like to drive there in less than half an hour by bicycle. However, it may also be a matter of driving habits, the steering wheel of cars in Germany is on the left, as in China, of course, most European countries seem to be like this, with the exception of the United Kingdom.

The man bear picked up the bicycle as if he wanted to put it in the room, and beckoned the two of them with one free hand.

"Come in and have a cup of coffee, my friends."

Martin, the owner of the house, now also came out and smiled at the man-bear, "Oh my God, I'm so worried that you've broken my bike." ”

"Haha, the car is not bad, I would buy one if I wanted to stay here."

"You better let it go, you can't ride a good bike for long, I like this bike very much." Martin 'grumbled' and then turned his head: "Welcome, my distinguished guests. ”

"Mr. Martin, you really know how to enjoy life, this house is a good choice."

Martin smiled: "Yes, I chose it at first sight, the house is very comfortable to live in, and the surrounding scenery is good." The only regret is that I am far away from the company. ”

"Okay, let's stop standing at the door, come in and taste the coffee I brought, this is the coffee beans that my wife bought from a trip to Jamaica last year, and they taste pretty good." Martin invited. (To be continued)
