"Saidek. The movie "Balai" really can't be made, maybe it can make money, but it definitely doesn't make much, and it's very sensitive," Lin Jianyue said truthfully: "I'm just a businessman, and I don't want to get involved with any politics." ”

"Don't worry, it's not Saidek. Balai," Xicheng shook his head and said: "It's a movie called "Haijiao No. 7", I have read the script and think it's okay, and there is no problem in refreshing the current Taiwanese Chinese film list. ”

The ranking of Taiwanese Chinese films is really not challenging, although Hong Kong and Taiwan are always said, but the box office of Taiwanese movies is a pool of stagnant water that has been silent for a long time.

"If you can really set a new record, that's not bad," Xicheng couldn't look at it, but Zhao Tongwen was not too little at all, he said with a little excitement: "Gold Medal Entertainment is just right to be able to make a name for itself in Taiwan." ”

Their family is one of the top three major shareholders in China Film, and they also have many industries in other places, but after all, it is family, and this time Zhao Tongwen is using his own pocket money to engage in a career.

Seriously, for the importance of gold medal entertainment, Xi Cheng and Lin Jianyue are not as strong as Zhao Tongwen.

"The investment is only NT$50 million, that is, more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, just make it up," Xicheng was not very interested.

"If it is more than 10 million, the company can take it now, whether there is a big production or not, Hollywood can do it, let's play a big one," Lin Jianyue was not very willing, he still wanted to eat billions of Hong Kong dollars in one go like Xicheng's "Juno".

"It's a big system, how much investment Brother Lin wants, I know a very good one," Xicheng thought it was funny, if he had money, what he wanted to do most now was "Avatar".

Although from '06, James. Cameron began to brew "Avatar", although he once made a movie like "Titanic", which is the world's No. 1 box office, but he still had a bloody head in terms of funding.

He weakly said that he would only need $237 million to make the film.

But no one will believe him, thinking about when he first filmed "Titanic". The budget cost has increased from tens of millions of dollars to 250 million step by step.

It's good now, the direct asking price is 237 million, and investors can imagine it with their toenails, with Cameron's virtue, there is no 500 million US dollars, don't want to make this film.

Even if 500 million US dollars is really filmed, it will take more than 1 billion dollars in box office revenue to be able to do this!

The global box office champion in '04 was "Shrek 2" with $919.8 million, the global box office champion in '05 was "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" with $875 million, the global box office champion in '06 was "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" with $1.065 billion, and the global box office champion in '07 was "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" with $961 million......

In the past four years, only one "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has just exceeded one billion, who dares to guarantee that the box office performance of this "Avatar" can break one billion.

No one dared except Cameron, and even Cameron couldn't be without apprehension in his heart.

"Five hundred million," Lin Jianyue and Zhao Tongwen gasped together.

Both of them are bigwigs with a net worth of tens of billions. But most of the tens of billions are not liquidity, and no one has the grace to spend 4 billion yuan to make a movie that doesn't know whether to make money or lose money.

Once you lose, it's called sadness.

Lin Baixin was ambitious to invest in Asia Television back then, hoping to compete with Run Run Shaw's TVB to become the entertainment king, but failed to do so, and lost nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in 14 years after joining ATV.

What is a loss of 3 billion in 14 years, if this movie is not played well, it may lose so much money all of a sudden.

"Hehe, I'm scared or what," Hee Sung laughed evilly. "It's impossible for us to eat as a family, and many big guys have dinner together."

"If you want to eat your hades, can you still eat them?" Lin Jianyue couldn't help but ask out loud, he felt that he was muttering about the financial resources of the Li family's nansam fund.

"I can't eat it, I just want to eat it. "If I want to compete, I can use $300 million to win over 60% of the profits." ”

"What about copyright?" Most people who make movies are sensitive to this. Only with the copyright in hand can you be qualified to make a sequel, and some peripheral things such as games have the right to develop.

"If you want copyright, you can only participate in the distribution of 50% of the profits." Hee Cheng has been hesitating for a while, and Hades Film and Television in the United States is waiting for news from him.

"Avatar" has a global box office of 2.7 billion, excluding the cost and dividends of theaters and directors, screenwriters and actors, there will be about a billion dollars in return on investment income.

"How's that, are you interested?" It took two or three years to make five or six billion US dollars, and Xi Cheng didn't know if the deal was worth it, he made more than 400 million US dollars last year.

And he was afraid that he would have no money when he was short of money, but if someone shared it with him, it would be a different matter.

"We may have to think about it," Zhao Tongwen had a difficult face, he had less idle funds in his hands than Lin Jianyue, who was in charge of his own affairs.

They analyzed Xicheng's investment case and knew that he liked to make a lot of money with very little money, but they didn't expect him to play a big game and exaggerate it, and the movie invested by 500 million US dollars was unprecedented!

"Otherwise, I'll pay 200 million US dollars, and each of you will contribute 50 million, how about it?" Hee Sung smiled, he was a person who knew the result, so he naturally didn't worry about losing money.

"It's all said and done, if I don't agree again, won't I be looked down upon by you young people, I'll follow," Lin Jianyue slapped the table and shouted viciously.

He thought it was gambling money or something, and he was still ......

Zhao Tongwen pondered for a moment before he said, "Can you read the information about that movie?" ”

This is a sane person, unlike Lin Jianyue, who is simply impulsive.

"I'll let you give it to you later," Xicheng didn't think it was too big, nodded and said, "If you think it's too big, you can follow me to make another investment, only 20 million US dollars, and let's participate in 30% of the investment share." ”

"Oh, there's a suitable investment?" When is it so simple to invest, Lin Jianyue's analysis team of dozens of people can't come up with a plan that will make money or lose money all day long.

"I can only guarantee to earn, and it's hard to say how much I earn," Xicheng didn't say too much, if Lin Jianyue and Zhao Tongwen were willing to share 100 million US dollars, he would have extra money in his hand to invest in this movie, and he would be able to harvest in the second half of this year.

"Let's talk about it, there is no problem with this at all," it may be because the 500 million US dollars just now exercised the heart, Lin Jianyue didn't think that this investment of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars was a lot.

"This is a film adaptation of the classic musical 'Mamma Mia' by the Swedish pop band ABBA," Hee Sung said to himself, completely ignoring the increasingly ugly faces of the two opposite, "The whole play is made up of 22 ABBA songs. Although cabaret movies have always been unpopular in overseas markets, do you believe in miracles? ”

"You also know ......" Zhao Tongwen rubbed his eyebrows and said bitterly: "It is indeed difficult for a song and dance movie to make a song and dance drama at the box office, and it costs sixty or seventy million US dollars to make a song and dance drama." ”

It's January 2008, and the U.S. dollar has reached 7.8 against the huàn renminbi, which means that this is using the money that can be invested in two "Casting Names" to invest in a song and dance movie.

Fools find it unreliable.

"If you don't follow, I'll come by myself," Hee-sung wiped his mouth with a napkin and said gracefully, "Mr. Ryan, a soldier from Playtone Films, is waiting for my reply." ”

To be honest, he can take out the 20 million himself.

The song and dance movie called "Mamma Mia" set a global box office of $573 million, and even if it can only generate $200 million in investment box office, Hee Sung can get a share of $60 million, which is a very high return on investment.

"Follow," this time it was Lin Jianyue again, he waved his hand and shouted very arrogantly: "I don't care what kind of movie it is, I'll follow you anyway, whether it's a profit or a loss." ”

"Then I'll follow it, both movies," Zhao Tongwen was stunned, and still gave his reply in a slow tone, he smiled slightly to himself, "It's a big deal to find a daughter-in-law to borrow some, I can't give up the child and can't catch the wolf." ”

These rich people in the mainland are also very particular about the right people, and Zhao Tongwen's wife is richer than him.

"To the two of you," Hee-sung raised the juice in his hand, clinked glasses with them, and drank it all.

The people next to him saw him drink juice as wine, and some couldn't help laughing.

didn't know that the three of them would decide on the investment direction of more than $300 million.

Hee-sung earned 150 million from movies this year, and should be able to get 250 million from the subprime mortgage crisis, adding up to a total of $400 million.

Song copyrights, record sales, TV drama salaries, TV series and variety show investment dividends, although they are not much, but at least they are the most enough for him to meet the company's daily expenses, and he can also give Yuna and Kim Doo-hwan two super large red envelopes of more than one billion won.

Now he has invested 200 million US dollars in "Avatar", 15 million in "Slumdog Millionaire", 7 million in "Mamma Mia", and another 4 or 5 million in "Speed Gossip", which adds up to only 230 million, and he still has 170 million left in his hand, which is enough for him to buy office buildings and a few properties in Aoki Garden.

Now that they have decided to invest, Zhao Tongwen and Lin Jianyue are not worried, the two of them and Xicheng are eating and drinking, obviously they don't really care about that money.

"When you really make money, you must have a few drinks with your brother," Lin Jianyue put his arm on Xicheng's shoulder and said very proudly: "You should be able to drink at that time." ”

"I'll be able to drink next year," Hee Sung was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I drank it once three years ago, and I got drunk after a drink, and the amount of alcohol is really not good." ”
