Are you sure you will get another 140 million at the box office? ’

That's right, Pation hit the nail on the head in one sentence, and the success of "Batman Returns" does not mean that the sequel will also be successful, but China Ming can make shareholders believe that the sequel will be successful.

"Hey", the vice president, who is almost sixty years old, sighed, with his more than thirty years of experience in the industry, the possibility of the sequel success is very high, but does he dare to play this package ticket? Even if he played this package ticket, his words were not farts in front of shareholders compared to China Ming's words.

"Forget it, we only have 62% of the shares in "Batman Returns", and now we give up 7% to buy peace of mind. Besides, if that Chinese kid dares to speak, there must be a way to make the box office exceed 140 million, and we still make it. ”

The gray-haired vice president hesitated and whispered, "Pationes, 28% of the first part is from Columbia and Universal. It stands to reason that they should have priority for sequel investment. ”

Pattiens said disdainfully: "You also say that it is 'reasonable', that is, we can not say logically, are you a Japanese monkey?" ”

"No, compared to genius monkeys like China Ming, I hate Japanese monkeys more!"

Pation collected his things and motioned to the vice president: "Let's go, let's go visit China Ming, he asked us to see something, so that we don't have to be afraid." ”

"Will we be afraid? Shit!”

"Aren't you afraid? The first part was only 80 million, and now it is 150 million! ”

The vice president smiled embarrassedly, "OK, I admit I'm a little scared, that's 150 million, plus at least 200 million in publicity." If it fails, both you and I will take the blame and resign. ”

The two didn't even bring their entourage, and drove to the 'digital light and shadow special effects' by themselves. As soon as the car stopped at the door, Douglas had already received a call and was waiting at the door, and greeted the big man in his previous eyes in a comfortable mood, "Mr. Pattiens, Mr. Cook, please come inside." ”

Cook didn't see Sun Ziming, and said a little dissatisfied: "What about Ming? ”

Douglas's face seemed to bloom, and as he let the two into the elevator, he explained, "Boss, you're preparing confidence for the two of you. You can see at a glance why he would ask for more than 45% of the investment. ”

Confidence? The two glanced at each other, as if they saw the green dollar, and immediately threw each other's rudeness behind them.

After entering the elevator, Douglas whispered, "Mr. Pationes, please be careful later." In order to give you this confidence, our boss has not rested for two days and one night, and it is very easy for the love to get out of control. ”

Pation was even more curious, and hurriedly asked, "What confidence?" Don't you explain? ”

"A fifteen-second shot cost our company $8.5 million, and 300 people worked for two days and one night."

The two immediately thought of "True Lies", oh my God, two madmen have come together to make a crazy movie!

The three of them didn't enter the real room, they went directly to the screening room, and before they entered the door, they heard Sun Ziming and Tim arguing.

"Get out! Can't take a vacation! ”

"If you don't, I'll resign!"

"If you dare to resign, I will make all Hollywood people dare not want her!"

"You're a bastard! Despot! Swindler! ”

The unkempt Tim angrily slammed the door and saw the two of them look at each other. God, who are these people?

Sun Ziming, who was about to chase out and scold, saw that the guest had arrived, his chest rose and fell violently, and it took more than ten seconds before he smiled and shook hands with the two, "I'm really sorry to make that bastard angry just now." ”

"Is he?"

"The deputy general manager of my company, I don't finish my work and always want to take a vacation. It's okay, please come in, please come in. ”

Sun Ziming let the two into the screening room, and Douglas hurriedly brought two cups of latte and said apologetically: "Our company usually uses Nestle instant coffee, and I am afraid that you two will not be used to drinking it, so I specially bought it from Starbucks at the door." ”

"Thanks, Ming, can we get started?"

Sun Ziming snapped his fingers at the black boy in front of the projector, "The main thing for casual editing is to give you confidence to convince the shareholders." ”

The lights dimmed, and after a jumble of colors flashed, the city of Los Angeles was beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds, and the people in the office were busy. Suddenly, three Harrier fighters roared up and stopped in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, causing people to flee in all directions. Boom, with a loud bang, a plane exploded and fell apart, debris flew sideways, flames soared into the sky, and the whole picture was only a sky-high flame.

'Whew', the lights came on, and the two of them were still white. The connoisseur stretched out his hand to know if there was one, this shot was no longer a common special effect, and it was completely beyond their cognitive level.

The screening room was quiet for a minute or two, and then Pation excitedly waved his coffee cup and sprinkled Cook in a handmade suit, ignoring it: "Ming, that's so cool, even if it's this one shot, I'm willing to pay ten dollars to go to the cinema!" ”

Sun Ziming hurriedly took his half-empty coffee cup, threw it into the garbage next to him, snapped his fingers at the black guy, pressed the two excited old men on the chairs, and said mysteriously: "I'll show you another material, it was an immature idea from our past, and it cost us $7.3 million." ”

The lights dimmed again, and a little boy on the screen skateboarded through various obstacles. Suddenly, the image changed, and the little boy became a gliding on the glass curtain wall of a skyscraper in Los Angeles, and he was also doing all kinds of evasion and rolling actions in a thrilling way, and the effect was realistic without any flaws.

With the camera just now as a mental preparation, the two old men did not lose their temper again, but just opened their mouths for a long time and did not speak. When the lights came back on, Vice President Cook muttered, "God, can the movie still be made like this?" ”

Yes, the movies of the future are like that, they don't need any great plots, they can attract people to the cinema with special effects alone. Sun Ziming invested all the money he made in Hollywood in special effects companies, and also pointed out the direction of research. It took more than four years to finally get some basic computer special effects ahead of Industrial Light and Magic, and all of them were researched.

"How? Confident? ”

Two people in their fifties, in front of twenty-five-year-old Sun Ziming, were like two woodpeckers, nodding their heads non-stop.

"Cook, I believe that the second Batman will definitely get more than $200 million at the box office!"

"NO, 300 million is possible!"

300 million is impossible, 200 million is about the same. Batman is a comic book after all, and the plot is too naïve, not to mention that there will be "Jurassic Park" and "True Lies" in front of them, two films that are also supported by special effects, they will greatly improve the audience's vision, and it is impossible for them to be as shocking as they are today.

Sun Ziming's words made the two of them think so, and when they returned to the company, they immediately called the major shareholders. Originally, when those shareholders heard that China would participate in the production of the film, they were a little undecided, whether to gamble on themselves or cooperate with that genius boy to seek safety. Now I heard the two presidents swear that as long as they cooperate with the light and shadow company, there is no problem with the box office exceeding 200 million, and they are immediately inclined to cooperate. Anyway, only 7% of the investment amount was conceded, but the box office increased by 60 million, and there was no risk, and fools knew how to do it. Besides, Columbia and Universal are both Japanese, so what's the matter with yourself Americans?

Time passed quickly, and on the afternoon of the third day, ten minutes before Sun Ziming participated in the viewing meeting of "Very Little Spy". Jiang Peng called and said that Warner had agreed, but also asked to announce the cooperation plan two months later.

, these ghosts are shady enough, and they actually want to intimidate some investors to withdraw to protect the interests of major shareholders! Shopping malls are like battlefields, everywhere is the same, major shareholders are always major shareholders. However, I like this approach, only in this way can they bring out the nobility of the light and shadow company.

Sun Ziming hung up the phone, walked into the screening hall that made the children noisy, and saw Tino and the two at a glance. No way, Alexander's pregnant woman, with a big belly and a tall person, is conspicuous everywhere.

"Tino, why are you here? Didn't you say, are you still in Europe? ”

Tino, who was helping Alexander to sit down, turned his head to look, and saw that Sun Ziming had finished answering the phone, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Things are a little more troublesome than expected, come back and discuss." How's the film? ”

Sun Ziming shook hands with him across a row of seats, and smiled enthusiastically: "Actually, I very much want people over the age of fourteen not to look at it, because you are all childlike." ”

"That's great, it's meant to be a gift for a child!"

When the cinema watcher next to him heard this, he hurriedly pointed to the children who were chattering in front of him and asked, "Ming, you don't want them to evaluate, do you?" ”

"Yes, you just have to see if they like it or not, I don't think you will."

"Ok", the watchers discussed it for a while, but they agreed. This is indeed a solution, children's films can only be evaluated by children, and this can be used as a convention in the future.

However, Sun Ziming didn't expect that he overestimated the vision of these adult filmmakers. When the movie starts, the thrilling action, all kinds of novel inventions, and cool special effects not only make children scream, but also adults scream.

'Yaah! 'Ming, I love you!' ’……

When the movie was over, a hundred little children were still screaming in the theater for a few minutes before they were taken away by their parents.

"Ming, congratulations, this is a good film, it will definitely be the same as "Home, Alone", a box office miracle!"

Of course it's good, Sun Ziming shook hands with everyone happily, and motioned Tino to wait for him. After sending off the excited viewers, Sun Ziming confessed a few more words to Douglas, and then got into Tino's car, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you adults also like to watch it." ”

Tino was also very happy and couldn't help but remind: "Congratulations, my friend, you are a great gift." However, it is not mentioned above, it is a gift for my child. ”

"Oh, this", Sun Tzu explained, glancing at Alexander's bulging belly, "Isn't Alexander's due date the end of November?" I want to use your photo and put it in front of the intro. Disclaimer in advance, there is no portrait royalty! ”

'Hahaha', Tino and the others laughed happily, and promised to provide the photos on time.

The three of them laughed for a while, and Sun Ziming pushed the car door and said goodbye: "I'll go first, and I'll go to Universal Company for a trip." God, they Japanese actually sent a friend of mine over to be their chairman. ”

Hearing that it was Sun Ziming's friend, Alexander said narrowly: "Boss, you can't betray the company's interests!" ”

Sun Ziming patted his head and suddenly realized: "Come to remember, you are still my public relations manager!" Gone, Karen, thank you. ”

got into the car that followed Lu Huiguang, and Sun Ziming was still thinking about Alexander's words. Hey, betraying the company's interests? No, I'm afraid the company is going to usher in great development again! That old guy is not George, he is very good at management, but he lacks a little vision. That guy's management ability may be average, but his vision is accurate and long-term is terrifying!
