Chapter 596: Deep Sea Goldfish on
The banquet entered at six o'clock, and the opening time was eight o'clock, and there were two hours as social time, allowing the guests to talk and chat with each other, Wu Chen also took the signed artists from the Asia-Pacific region to say hello to many famous Hollywood actors, such as Da Tang Xiaotang, future Governor Schwarzenegger, Will, Harrison, Stallone, etc., the most valuable actresses at present are his people, oh, and Julia is more famous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Brother Liu, I think something is very strange, since the boss has such a big reputation and status in Hollywood, he wants to start making a series of movies, why didn't these Hollywood superstars take the initiative to cooperate?" Fan Binbin asked very strangely.
"You don't understand this, the boss of our family relies on directing art and ability to attract audiences, that is, the movie itself, there is no need to rely on Hollywood superstars to increase the box office, so most of the people he uses are newcomers."
"The advantage of this is that the vast majority of the investment in each film is used for shooting and post-production, because the newcomers are poorly paid! In other words, those 20 million US dollar club members, converted into Huaxia coins, is 170 million, and the annual salary of all the contracted actors in our Huaxia branch is not more than one person! Liu Yunlong said with a smile.
Wu Chen has always disliked working with famous actors, this is a well-known thing in Hollywood, but the reason is clear to everyone, the salary of famous actors is too high, Hollywood has a famous $20 million club, the starting price is this number, and the budget for a movie in most countries is not so much in general.
Wu Chen has always objected to the actor's salary being too high, which means that the production cost of the film will be reduced, especially the investment in computer special effects, but commercial production, especially science fiction films, relies on computer special effects, and this expenditure cannot be saved, which will affect the gold content of the film.
If you give the actor a high salary, the investment will become a problem, and even exceed the overall budget, the film company pays attention to investing the least amount of money to get the most box office, and the ultimate goal is to make the boss make money, not to make the actor make money upside down.
The most troublesome thing is that famous actors often have to share the box office, and the proportion is particularly high, which also represents the status of actors in Hollywood, or in the film industry, so Wu Chen will not use those superstars unless he has to.
"Ah, what a lucky moment tonight, I actually saw an angel who landed in the mortal world, beautiful Miss Faith, why did you come out of the hotel?" Wu Chen was very wise this time, he was bombarded by the directors and actors of the five crews in turn, and immediately found an excuse to sneak out.
The temperature in Los Angeles at this time was about ten degrees, and the wind blowing over was a little cool, Wu Chen was just about to call someone, but found that the American country music diva Faith was looking at him with a smile not far away.
In the moonlight, Faith is much more charming than usual, wearing a lake-blue evening dress, her figure is concave and curvy, and she looks simply intoxicating, she is known as one of the fifty most beautiful women in the world, in the eyes of Wu Chen, who has drunk wine, this moment has a special bonus.
"It's too exaggerated tonight, I waited for more than two hours, and I didn't have a chance to have a glass of wine with you, Wu Chen, shouldn't you, the boss, compensate me for this wounded heart?" Faith said with a smile.
Hollywood's superstars really won't easily open their mouths to Wu Chen, but it doesn't mean that other actors don't open their mouths, Hollywood's success is only a small part, and the vast majority are still waiting for the opportunity.
The series of movies in the "Mutant Apocalypse", Wu Chen has no intention of directing it himself, which also gives many directors opportunities, sci-fi thriller commercial productions, which are the mainstream of Hollywood at the moment, because this genre is the guarantee of high box office, accumulating rich experience, and getting exercise from Wu Chen's script, which is crucial to taking over other commercial productions in the future, and the value will be very different.
Wu Chen's original intention of announcing these two series of movies was to seize resources and force other directors and film companies to give up these two themes, but the enthusiastic directors and actors also made him bombarded with red wine.
"I'm sorry for this happening, it's definitely not what I want to see, it's not twelve o'clock yet, there's still time, I hope I can make up for this mistake and have a drink with the charming Miss Faith!"
"You can choose where to drink, and I will pay for it, but I have to state in advance that my alcohol consumption is really not large, and it may disappoint you." Wu Chen took off his suit jacket and gently draped it on Faith, but he had a gentlemanly demeanor.
The eyes of most countries in the world are fixed on the attack nuclear submarine Komsomol that is about to be salvaged, a large number of news media reporters have appeared in Norwegian waters, and many television stations have also rented boats to shoot near the wrecked waters.
In order to ensure the safety of the nuclear submarine in the process of salvage, this time the Russian government and military organized a technical team of more than 300 people, and it took only a week to rush to the Norwegian waters.
More than half of the members of the technical team are experts from the Russian military, as well as experts from the five Nordic countries, and even the United States, France and the United Kingdom have sent experts, and these scientists will make professional judgments for salvage through modern technical means.
In order to prevent accidents, the Mercenary Corps Navy dispatched the conventionally powered aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and two Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, two Sacramento-class supply ships and two Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships, two Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines and four Akula-class attack nuclear submarines.
The Netherlands' 14,000-ton semi-submersible crane ship, which claims to be the world's largest, has sailed to the sea, and the blue Marlin, a semi-submersible ship newly purchased by the mercenary corps, has also sailed to the sea, which is known as the world's first semi-submersible ship, and there is no problem in transporting a nuclear submarine of more than 8,000 tons.
The ship manufacturing of the mercenary corps is one of the main income items to maintain the financial and military spending of the mercenary corps in the Golden Triangle, as the proprietor's wife, Xu Zilin attaches great importance to the semi-submersible ship, and the ship loaded with 75,000 metric tons was targeted by her as soon as she got out of the water, and the ship was bought from a Norwegian transportation company to the hands of the rainbow shipping company in half a year.
In fact, Xu Zilin didn't dare to fight the idea of this ship at first, but Wu Chen asked her to put forward her intention to buy it at the end of the year, because she knew that this ship would be acquired by a Dutch company next year, and Rainbow Shipping Company needed this semi-submersible ship very much.
