"Jones, did you get the money from the overseas box office last week? How much liquidity do we have? Li Donglai sat in the chief position at the Phantom Company's new film preparation meeting and asked below.

"Boss, it's already called."

Jones Michelle, the company's accountant, said: "This year, the total expenditure of the "Source Code" movie is about 5.65 million, and the expenditure of the "Hangover" movie is 36.2 million. In total, the total expenditure for the first half of the year was $41.85 million.

In terms of revenue, it includes the overseas box office of "Source Code" and "The Hangover", the sales of DVDs, the sales of soundtracks, and the sales of merchandise. As of today's statistics, the total income of Source Code after tax deduction is 132 million. "The Hangover" is still in theaters, and the total income after tax deduction is 165.2 million. DVD sales are booming, but payment statistics are slow and are not included in the statistics at present. Excluding the fixed funds for the company's daily operations, our current available liquidity is about 210 million. Boss, you have invested in a branch office in South Korea, and the U.S. company will deal with emergencies, and you have to leave some of them for emergencies. ”

After carefully understanding some specific situations, Li Donglai came to the conclusion that the total amount of investment this time may exceed the standard.

If he wants to shoot the IMAX giant screen, the investment of 210 million is more than enough. But he felt that it was not enough, not perfect enough. Technically not shocking enough, he wanted to add something new.

I heard that James Cameron's new movie, which is costing 500 million and is being completed, is also a 3D movie. The first 3D movies in history appeared very early, but the technology on the movie screen has not been very mature.

However, Cameron dares to make such a big deal, and he will definitely not be untargeted.

I thought there was still a lot of money available, but if I think about it carefully, I will soon become poor again. He was also thinking about buying some Apple shares privately, Apple's stock was falling in 09, but this company was led by Jobs, and I believe that there will always be improvement in the future, Li Donglai is very optimistic about Apple's stock...... But now, it seems that it will not work.

sighed and said, "Sean, can you help me make an appointment with James Cameron, I want to visit him." ”

"No problem." Sean nodded, "Although I didn't have anything to do with these gods before, if you want to take the initiative to visit, he should welcome it." ”

"Hmm." Li Donglai nodded and continued to ask, "Have you gone to see the filming location chosen for the movie?" ”

Sean said: "According to the clues you gave, we have all filmed people to go to the field, and we will all have a reply soon." But boss, do you really need to shoot in six countries? What I mean by this is that there are some scenes that can be set up on a studio, and shooting in a studio can also meet the needs. ”

Li Donglai waved his hand: "These areas are carefully selected by me, and of course the studio can meet the needs of filming, but it is far less intense than the sensory brought to the actors by on-site shooting." Sean, don't be afraid to waste money, if the investment is not enough, at most I will pull the investment. Cameron filmed "Big Boat" back then and now "Avatar", so much investment, isn't it just a mess of everything. I think there will be people willing to invest. ”

"Okay." Sean nodded helplessly.

Li Donglai has an absolute stake in the company, and the company has no plans to go public, so his words must be implemented.

An Shuzhen suddenly interjected: "Warner Bros. has contacted us before, and I hope to cooperate with you. If the investment is really not enough, they should be willing to invest. ”

"Oh," Li Donglai became interested, and said with a smile: "Then don't wait for later, Sister An, you can contact Warner now, and strive to get a certain amount of investment budget in advance, so as to save passivity at that time." However, they have no right to speak, and we have the final say in editing, guidance, and selection. ”

"Okay, I'll go." An Shuzhen said: "But now there is one biggest problem, your actors are not decided except for you and Zack." ”

Li Donglai smiled, "Aren't I already looking for it, I have to take a breath." As he spoke, his gaze moved to the screen of the notebook on the desk, where the frozen image was the scene of Kate Winslet's bold confession to Leonardo DiCaprio at this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Since the big ship shocked the world, everyone is talking about the golden boy and the girl. But the news I have heard over the years is that the heroine "Rose" KateWinslet is married again!

At the Golden Globe Awards in the spring of this year, Li Donglai didn't have a chance to go there, so he didn't witness this bold confession on the spot.

It was none other than "Jack" Leonardo who accompanied her on the red carpet and handed her over to the groom, Ned Rocknroll!

How many hearts are broken.

Of Kate's three marriages, the first lasted 3 years, the second lasted 7 years, and the third ......

The groom is constantly changing, but the one who has been by her side for 13 years is Leo, and she instantly feels that this is called true love!

It has to be said that the customs of Westerners are still very different from those of the East, and they flaunt gentlemen and flaunt freedom, and they do so. Kate was still excited in the presence of her husband, and confessed to Leo in the audience with tears, Leo was also excited and red, and frequently sent kisses.

At that moment, everyone in the audience, except for her husband, was probably moved by them.

It's been 13 years, and Xiaoli is no longer the heartthrob student with red lips and white teeth, but as he grows older, the charm of men is increasing day by day, and he is still so handsome.

Li Donglai likes the protagonist of this movie very much in his heart, but he thinks that his age and emotional experience are not qualified enough. And it's his first time directing a big-scale movie, and if he is still starring, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the film perfect under distraction. After all, people's energy is limited, and sometimes taking a step back may achieve better results.

And Leo is the most suitable actor for this movie in his mind.

Sean and An Shuzhen turned their heads curiously to look at it, and suddenly exclaimed. Sean wondered, "You want Leo to play a supporting role?" I'm afraid it's hard. ”

"Who said it was a supporting role. This time the supporting role is me, and he is the main character. This film is very important to me and to the company, and I have to devote myself to the work of directing the film, and if I work as an actor, I will at most make a cameo in one of the supporting roles. ”

"I like him and I hope he can actually make this movie." Jones Michelle said bluntly.

Li Donglai laughed, "You will get your wish." ”

……

That night, Li Donglai made an appointment to visit him in Cameron's company.

When Lao Ka shouted at the Oscars: "I'm-the-king, of-the-word", the world watched the king of the world. The recent movie was made by Lao Ka for five years, costing as much as 500 million, and it is naturally ambitious.

He has been busy these days, but he is still very welcome to Li Donglai's visit. The two talked a lot about movies together, and after Lao Ka knew that Li Donglai was purely a wild man, and he hadn't even read any books, he suddenly exclaimed, "Genius, genius!" I thought Loren was already a genius, and you were better than him. And you're only 22 years old. When I was 22 years old, I was still driving a truck. ”

Li Donglai accepted this compliment generously, the director of the king of the world is undoubtedly rich, and some peculiar ideas also surprised Li Donglai. Because Lao Ka's focus is on the "digital field" of his special effects production company, special effects technology is always the top priority in his films.

And this is exactly what Li Donglai lacks.

The two talked for a long time before Li Donglai said that he wanted to purchase a new 3D camera invented by Cameron.

Cameron immediately saw his confidant and said very happily: "Li Donglai, I have always felt that you are very talented, not only a talent like a strong man who kicked twenty strong men on WWE. Your films are spiritual, and you're only twenty-two years old. I know you're going to start making a new movie, listen to me, the future of movies, 3D is the way out. Come on, show you something, maybe you'll like it. ”

He has been busy with the filming of the 3D movie "Avatar" these days, and the biggest problem is that there is insufficient funds. Every time, I persuaded how good and wonderful 3D was, and the company bosses were also interested at first. But after listening to it too much, I became more and more unconfident in his big investment. For this reason, Lao Ka has been begging for help as a grandson.

500 million big production, to be honest, before the movie was released, even the king of the world was not without worries. If you don't get it right, you'll smash the signboard. He's under a lot of pressure.

Now Li Donglai took the initiative to come to the door, and actually said that he was very interested in 3D and wanted to shoot a 3D movie, you can imagine how happy he was.

took the initiative to pull Li Donglai into his company's 3D projection room, gave him a 3D glasses, and then played a clip of "Avatar".

……

It wasn't until late at night that Li Donglai came out of the "digital field" company.

When leaving, he took two contracts with him. One is to cooperate with the "digital realm" to carry out special effects, and all the special effects of his new film will be completed by the "digital realm". The second is a contract for the purchase of complete 3D shooting equipment.

Although he was tired, the shock in his heart was indescribable.

"It had to be made in 3D, and it had to be released before Cameron's film was officially released, becoming the first 3D blockbuster zuò film. Otherwise, the whole world will be Cameron's, and others will not be competitive at all. That's the conclusion he came to.

But Cameron spent several years making this movie, and it is estimated that it will be released at the end of this year or early next year. There is not much time left for Li Donglai, at most only six months, counting the filming and post-production, is he in time?

He can't think about so many questions now, and all he thinks about in his mind is watching some of the unfinished "Avatar" shots, and that immersive and realistic feeling. I didn't notice that a photographer on the side of the road frantically pressed the shutter on his figure as he walked out of the digital realm.

When he returned, he immediately revised the script again. At the same time, the selection of actors should also speed up the process and start contacting.

Late that night, after Li Donglai revised the complete script, he made two phone calls and passed the script into the mailbox of the two people.

……

The next day, some media reported that Li Donglai's new film had already cooperated with Cameron's "digital field". And Cameron has already responded to this, and the "digital field" has indeed taken over the special effects production of the film, and they will do their best to meet the needs of customers.

Some people were noncommittal when they saw the news, some were dismissive, and some expressed anticipation.
