Listened to Darryl. Zanyuk's proposal, Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

There are many sequels filmed in Hollywood blockbuster films, and the more typical ones are the "007" series, the "Die Hard" series, the "Alien" series, the "Ghost Street" series, the "Moonlight Panic" series, and so on.

Shooting a sequel movie is just like what Darryl said before, you can use the word-of-mouth effect created by the previous work and the accumulated audience favorability, you can easily achieve a good box office. Moreover, shooting a sequel to the film in the United States can also expand the depth of the film and promote the sales of movie merchandise.

Typical examples include the "Star Trek" series, the "Star Wars" series, etc., with endless sequels and side stories, they easily achieved huge box office and made movie peripheral products sell well. Models, books, games, costumes, props, and even language, writing, etc., are all believed and respected by movie fans, becoming another subculture.

Xu Guanwu remembered that the movie "Jaws" had made three orthodox sequels, and later made a lot of copycat versions of shark stories. And "Rocky" has been filmed until the new century, with a total of six films in the whole series, which can be said to be a classic that is often auctioned and often sold.

The sequel copyright of two works like this is quite expensive, just like the sequel copyright of the 007 series of movies, it is almost already a zuihou magic weapon that Lianmei Company relies on to survive, how much do you say it should be worth?

"How much is 20th Century Fox willing to pay for the licensing rights to shoot this sequel?" Xu Guanwu looked at Darryl. Zaniuk couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Darryl. Zaniuk hesitated for a moment, then held out a finger.

Xu Guanwu nodded. "A hundred million dollars?! I think about it. ”

"A hundred million dollars. You're going to grab it. I'm talking about a million dollars. Darryl roared angrily.

"A million dollars?!" Xu Guanwu hahadaxiao up. It was as if he had heard the words of the world's No. 1 daxiao, "You might as well use this money to find those big screenwriters, and you can buy a good script for a million dollars." ”

"The two of us can cooperate, you publish the copyright and I will contribute the funds, and the film will be split in half." Darryl asked with a smile, "So you don't have to suffer, what do you want to do with a lot of box office?!"

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but wave his hand when he heard this. "I can make a movie investment alone, and I firmly believe that the sequels of these two movies can sell well at the box office. Why should I cooperate with you and lose half of my earnings for nothing? ”

"Then what do you mean, come out and listen to the price, and if you can, you can still negotiate again." Darryl blushed with shame.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry about the film in my hand, didn't I tell you before, unless I have absolute control of 20th Century Fox, I won't make every effort to help." I'll be honest, don't you don't like to hear it. Both of these films are big-selling films, and the sequel can sell hundreds of millions of dollars with just one shot. I won't give you tens of millions of profits in vain. ”

Darryl. Zanyuk couldn't help but sigh dejectedly when he heard this, "It's very difficult for you to have absolute control, although 20th Century Fox is now very indebted, but the shareholders still have confidence in the company." If you don't get a high price, you can't buy it at all. ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "It's okay, Hollywood is not the only capable film company in 20th Century Fox, in fact, I think things like MGM, Universal, United States, and Columbia are all good, MGM's performance in recent years has not been good, I heard that its boss plans to sell it again." Luen Mei holds the copyright of the 007 series, but unfortunately the company's other films are not blockbusters, and the market value has fallen sharply, just like a child walking on the road with gold in his hand, it is easy to grab it. Not to mention Columbia and Universal, all of which are in trouble. Among the eight major film companies, probably only the hooligan Warner is a little better. ”

Darryl became more and more depressed when he heard this, "Is 20th Century Fox really so unbearable in your eyes?" ”

"It's not unbearable, otherwise why would I want to buy shares?" Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "I mean, if I don't get an absolute controlling stake, I will never cooperate deeply with 20th Century Fox." ”

Darryl nodded, "I'll do my best for you, in fact, I'd rather have you at the helm of 20th Century Fox than those vampires." ”

Xu Guanwu smiled and didn't say anything more.

……

The two of them sat by the stream and chatted for a while, and at this time, the number of invited guests gradually increased, and the garden of the whole villa became lively.

Xu Guanwu didn't want to have any more contact with filmmakers, so as not to be entangled by them and talk about some messy things. But Darryl. Zanyuk introduced him to several important guests.

For Xu Guanwu, a legendary investor, these filmmakers have also admired them for a long time. To be able to achieve such an amazing box office result in more than two years, the accuracy of investment vision is amazing. Film companies want to hear his advice, and producers and stars want to cooperate with him.

There are also a few more revealing actresses who are dressed up, and they secretly send autumn waves to him one by one, which makes Xu Guanwu feel chilled.

He is not pretending to be a reserved old master, but he instinctively feels a little "dirty", and those actresses don't know how many times they have the courage to dedicate themselves to their artistic careers. Xu Guanwu didn't want to pass on some kind of unspeakable secret because of this. Moreover, there are all kinds of strange things in the entertainment industry, and some actresses do everything to become famous, in case they repeatedly sell their experiences to gossip magazines, and tell everything in detail, then Xu Guanwu will be disgraced and thrown to his grandmother's house.

So although these actresses are all hot and sexy, they look like they are completely dedicated to art, and they can make people want what they want. Xu Guanwu still avoided it from a distance, and was insensitive to this kind of woman who was sent to the door.

"Husband, there are a few women over there who have very attractive eyes." Zhao Yazhi walked over with two glasses of juice and handed Xu Guanwu a cup casually.

"It's all for mixed food, and it's not easy for anyone." Xu Guanwu smiled, "You think everyone is like you." Married a good husband as soon as you get married? ”

"Phew! You are a princess selling melons. Blow one’s own trumpet. Zhao Yazhi took a sip lightly. "Why don't you go up and talk to them?" ”

"If you want me to go, then I'll really go." Xu Guanwu stood up and said, just halfway through the stand, he was stopped by Zhao Yazhi, "Dare to mess around in front of me, you don't want to live, do you?" ”

"So why are you mentioning them?" Xu Guanwu smiled, "Didn't you deliberately cause people to commit crimes?" ”

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but laugh proudly when she heard this.

"Hello, are you Mr. Xu?" At this time. An uninvited guest next to him came over and asked.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning, he didn't have to look back, he could guess the origin of that person, either to promote his film project and ask Xu Guanwu to provide him with financial support, or to promote how high his acting skills were, hoping to get Xu Guanwu's favor.

In the previous parties, Xu Guanwu had already encountered dozens of such uninvited guests.

"I am." Xu Guanwu nodded unhappily, his appearance as a yellow man can be said to be unique at the party. Even if you want to deny it, you can't do it. However, although he admitted his identity, Xu Guanwu's expression also clearly showed his attitude. That is, I don't want to talk to others, so if you know each other, just retreat quickly.

But the uninvited guest obviously didn't understand what Xu Guanwu meant, and when he saw Xu Guanwu admit his identity, he immediately laughed happily, "Hello, Mr. Xu, I'm the producer Edward. Presman, it's a pleasure to see you at this party today. ”

"I'm glad to meet you, too, but please forgive me for missing me." Xu Guanwu nodded impatiently, and then stood up directly.

"Mr. Xu, I just want to borrow a minute from you, can you please listen to me?" Seeing that Xu Guanwu was leaving, Edward hurriedly shouted anxiously.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile, everyone was at the beginning with this sentence, "borrow a minute", once they really agreed, they would gush about it, a minute?! An hour is not enough for them.

Xu Guanwu had already learned the skills of these people before, so when he heard Edward say this, he immediately left in a hurry.

"Arnold, help me stop it." Edward saw Xu Guanwu shouting more and more, and hurriedly shouted.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a strong man suddenly walked up to Xu Guanwu, his strong body was like a rock, even if the weather was still a little cold in March, this person was still in shorts and T-shirts, revealing large chunks of muscles like rocks.

Xu Guanwu was suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but be very displeased, this is a party scene, not a violent street in the United States, how can there be such a thing as blocking the road and robbing people.

But when he looked at the strong man who stopped in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Arnold. Schwarzenegger?! Holy! Xu Guanwu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, which was really his sister's surprise.

Arnold. Schwarzenegger, Hong Kong translated as Arnold Schwashua Sinliga, one of Hollywood's most box office appeal action stars in the 80s and 90s, and Bliss. Willis, Sylvester. Stallone is also known as one of Hollywood's three major action superstars, and he is also one of the most familiar Hollywood movie stars to mainland audiences. He has filmed countless classic works, such as the "Terminator" series, "True Lies", "Commander Devil", "Dragon Brother and Rat Brother" and so on.

And this person is not only good at making movies, but also later entered politics and became the governor of California, USA. Schwarzenegger is also one of the representatives of the American dream, a poor boy who came out of a ravine and slowly grew into Mr. Shijie, a Hollywood A-list action superstar, married the daughter of the Kennedy family, and successfully ran for governor of California......

Schwarzenegger's experience of becoming a phoenix man from a phoenix nirvana has inspired countless people over and over again to come to the country of the United States. But there are few that can be as legendary as Schwarzenegger.

Xu Guanwu also didn't expect that he would meet Mr. Governor today, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy at the same time. If he hadn't signed with the brokerage company, Xu Guanwu would have wanted to sign him. In this way, when filming "Terminator" in the future, I am not afraid of finding no one.

Just when Xu Guanwu was surprised, Edward immediately walked over behind him, "Mr. Xu, this is Arnold, a shijie-level bodybuilder who has won Mr. Olympia for six consecutive years." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, although he didn't know what the origin of this Mr. Olympia was, but it was quite remarkable to be able to win the championship six times in a row.

"I have a play that Arnold is going to make, and I promise you that it will be a great play, and Arnold will be a great star." Edward splattered.

Xu Guanwu was not interested in Edward's rhetoric at all, but he was more interested in Arnold.

"Edward, can a little man like this really take me to film?" Before Xu Guanwu could ask, Schwarzenegger pointed at Xu Guanwu and said.

"What, little man?! Little sister, my brother is also more than 1.7 meters. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but glared at Schwarzenegger with some anger.

However, this rough man who has just entered the film and television industry for a few years really doesn't know Xu Guanwu's current reputation in the film industry, so he doesn't know that he has offended people by saying the wrong thing just now. (To be continued......)
