(Thanks to the book friend 51 stones, latte 3-in-1, the story of the cooking class, and Lao Han's encouragement)

Everyone ate very happily at dinner, don't look at Travolta didn't drink today, but he was a little greedy when he smelled the taste of Moutai, and he asked Liu Yunxuan for a bottle unceremoniously, and by the way, he also grabbed a pick-up card for organic vegetables in Walmart City. 《

After the meal, a few people were idle, chatting about some movies, literature and art, some interesting stories or something, and this time Mansour did not shy away from it, chatting with everyone, but they were very close to each other.

"You don't know, Wu Zai usually looks very kind, but when he arrives on the set, it's like another person." Travolta told everyone about his previous experience with John Woo.

"No matter who you are, as long as you make a mistake, you just wait for Wu's roar, me, Cage, no exception. The movie stars who have worked with him have all been taught. ”

"What about me, do you think it was easy when I first came to the United States?" Wu Yusen said angrily, "It's not easy to shoot heroes in the United States, you can't get shot a lot, and you can't die lightly." ”

"I also studied for a long time before I learned this theorem."

John Woo was also a little embarrassed when he said this, in order to study how Americans live and how to look at problems, he didn't film for two years, and he didn't take over the filming of "Broken Arrow" until he thought he knew enough, which was also the first time he cooperated with Travolta.

However, he didn't have a good time to be in the limelight, and after continuous success, he didn't expect the box office of "The Wind Whisperer" to plummet, and he returned to China to shoot an epic film, which was not well received, so he planned to return to Hollywood again and rise again.

Everyone also knows a little about his situation. Whether it's praise or irony, in any way it can't hide the fact that he is a very famous director.

Being able to leave a mark on the Walk of Fame is Hollywood's recognition of him.

"By the way, I wonder if you have any ideas for making money together?" After Wu Yusen finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yunxuan and Travolta and said.

Liu Yunxuan was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that there is any inside information in the entertainment industry that can make money?

"You misunderstood, I planned that we would raise funds to shoot this movie ourselves." When Wu Yusen saw Liu Yunxuan's eyes, he knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained.

"Director Wu, don't be joking, how much money is invested in making an American blockbuster, I can't afford it." Liu Yunxuan was taken aback by Wu Yusen's suggestion, and hurriedly shook his head and said.

How much does an American blockbuster cost to invest in? The first few years were ok, and it could be less. Now the audience is picky, how can it be between 200 million and 300 million dollars, which is worth more than his Andy Ranch.

"Andy, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you listen to me first." John Woo continued, "A large part of the cost of the film comes from the actors' salaries. ”

"If John and I were both paid to take shares, we could save a lot of money. And there are not many special effects involved in this drama, so let's make it together. It should be about the same. ”

In fact, John Woo has been thinking about this movie, so he put forward this idea today.

A normal Travolta would be paid between $25 million and $30 million plus dividends. And now I am at a similar price. This saved more than $50 million in costs.

Moreover, the main location of filming is in Liu Yunxuan's ranch, which saves a lot of money for renting the venue, and I use some actors with relatively small salaries, and everyone can make up for it, and it is estimated that it will be filmed.

The most important thing is that he knows that these two people still have some money in their hands. If you go to the investor yourself, it's better to do it together.

Liu Yunxuan was a little tempted when he heard it, the profits of the movie are very considerable, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a huge profit. Haven't you seen those blockbusters that often sweep hundreds of millions of box office, but I don't know how much money you have to invest in this operation. I don't have much left.

And Travolta was also bowing his head and pondering, Wu Yusen's method had actually been tried before, but failed, so he was also a little hesitant.

If he hadn't experienced the loss of his son, he might not have thought about it and just agreed, but now he has always wanted to take better care of his family, and he can't afford to lack money here in the United States.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little dull.

"Xuanzi, I think this matter can be done." The fat man interjected. "We have good directors, good actors, and good scripts, what are you afraid of, if you can't do it, let's raise some funds from China."

The fat man's idea is very simple, the movie is profiteering, with Lao Wu's level and Travolta's acting skills, even if it hits the street, it won't be a lot.

"Director Wu, if we contribute our own funds, how much money do I need to come up with?" Liu Yunxuan looked at Wu Yusen and asked.

Wu Yusen thought for a while and said, "I plan to control the cost at about 150 million US dollars, excluding my salary and John's salary, I will probably need about 90 million." ”

"We can invest according to this budget of 150 million yuan first, and when shooting, we try to save costs, and when the time comes, there will be no shortage of much."

In fact, relatively speaking, among the three, Liu Yunxuan is the most risky. If he wanted to divide it equally, he would have to come up with $50 million for the filming of the movie, and 20 million for each of these two people would be about the same.

But the potential reward of this matter is really too great, first you can implant your own ads in the movie, and secondly, as the fat man said, with these two people involved, there is no loss.

"Actually, if you don't have money to make a movie, I can invest it." At this time, Mansur on the side spoke. He really doesn't understand, isn't it just a matter of tens of millions of dollars per person, why do they have to think about it for so long.

Well, let's forgive the white-robed tyrants for their habit of taking money instead of money.

"It would be best if His Highness Mansour was also interested in getting involved, and we could also lighten some of the burden." Wu Yusen looked at Mansour and said politely.

He knew that Mansur had a good relationship with Liu Yunxuan, and he was really afraid that this master would take all the investments done, but he was very confident in this film, and he also wanted to make some money to spend.

Now everyone's eyes are on Travolta, and I don't know what he thinks.

"You don't have to look at me like that." Travolta said with a smile, "I'm also looking forward to this script and Wu, so I'll rush here, count me in." ”

"Okay, that's it, if the four of us invest, we will be able to make some money in the future." Liu Yunxuan said funny.

"But you have to give me some time first, I'll have to scrape together my money slowly, and it's been a bit expensive lately." Liu Yunxuan then said with some embarrassment.

Even with Mansour's joining, he would have to raise nearly $4ooo in funding, and if he didn't get it right, he would have to transfer money from China first.

"Wu, if you recruit actors with peace of mind, you must find the right one, if the budget is not enough, I can add more. I don't want Ange1a to feel bad when I see this film in the future. ”

Mansour waved his hand and said, "Andy, I'll do your part for you first." ”

Only then did Liu Yunxuan understand why Mansour had the idea of investing in this movie, it turned out that the source of Yiqiē was still on Xiao Fangfang.

After all, it is based on real events, and the prototype of the rancher's daughter in the script is Xiao Fangfang, maybe in the future, Xiao Fangfang will pick it up and watch it again when she grows up, and she feels very dissatisfied.

The last time he came back, he tried to let the little guy follow the movie, but then he gave up, after all, the requirements of this movie are still very high.

The little guy hasn't even learned the basics of acting, and when the time comes, it's not good to look good on both sides. Now that he has a few people's investments, he can't even talk about it.

It seems that in the future, let the little guy shoot the advertisement for that children's product first, if the little guy is really interested and not bored, and then see if there are any small roles in other movies for her to make a cameo.

This investment is not small, even if the relationship between several people is good, there must be a formal business contract, which is a villain first, and a gentleman later, and everyone understands.

But there's no rush now, I haven't even found the actors, and I can sign at any time when the time comes. (To be continued......)
