Chapter 821: Eat Your Spicy Hot
"A biopic?" Pei Qianlong hesitated a little.
However, it doesn't seem good to refuse, I just told people that we give you permission, and if you don't admit it, the future work will not be easy to carry out.
"How much does it cost?" Shi Shanshan asked.
"About $50 million, no more than $55 million." Gary Barber said.
55 million US dollars, calculated at the exchange rate of 6.7 billion, is about 370 million Chinese dollars.
It's just a biographical movie.
It is worthy of Hollywood, where big productions are rampant, and movies with a cost of more than a billion are everywhere.
Without a $100 million start, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a big producer.
"I think I should ask Mr. Lin, more than 300 million is too much." Du Qixi was a little confused.
Since someone proposed, Pei Qianlong took out his mobile phone.
Turn on hands-free.
Let's talk about the situation first, saying that it was a meeting, and there was something about the investment in this biopic.
[Miss System, can I vote for this? ] 】
[If you can't vote, I'll say it directly]
[Oh, that's if you can vote, can you vote because the box office will explode]
【Eat your spicy hot go, sand sculpture】
[How do you curse people]
[If you hold your head up like this, it is estimated that tomorrow you will be able to make headlines if you take your fairy sister out to eat Malatang]
[Uh~ Miss System, can the investment over there be settled in advance by MGM]
[You have become beautiful]
[Why did you suddenly boast about it, it's embarrassing]
[I mean you want to be beautiful]
[Alas, you see, MGM operates independently, why can't it be settled in advance, they are just an independent individual]
[MGM is an asset under your name, and the movies they released are your self-made movies]
[Don't you think early settlement is exciting, if you can't settle in advance, it's really boring]
[Sorry, the system is a principled robot]
[Is it okay for me to invite you to eat spicy tang]
【Roll】
[Count me begging you, Miss System, I bow to you, if there is anything I need to do in the future, I will beat you violently as a cow and a horse]
[What about your festival, aren't you Auror]
[I can't be proud]
【Hehe~】
[Please, I want to go home, and when I go back, I will give you all the gold galleons in my bank]
[Pull it down, the money in your personal account, give me 100 million, and I will promise you]
[Maicao, what do you want money for, you can't spend it]
[It's okay, as long as it makes you unhappy]
[I...... I promise you~(?????? ︿??????) 】
[If you are given an early settlement, first, you can't chase ......]
[No chasing, no chasing]
[Second, once settled, the project cannot be suspended, and your interference cannot violate commercial principles......]
[I understand this, it's the same as in China]
[Third, you can't interfere with the decision-making of MGM operators, you must completely decentralize power......]
[This is excessive]
[If you treat it as your own, you can't settle it in advance, but you can add a project, which is the project you fancie, and you can throw it to them for them to operate]
[That's fine]
[The remaining ninety-seven terms, I haven't thought about it for the time being, you agree first, and I will allow you to settle in advance]
[9...... Ninety-seven]
【Do not dry】
【Dry】
[I didn't force you]
【(ー_ー)!! 】
The wizard master is very powerful, he can bargain with the system at the same time, without delaying to eat hot pot, and without delaying to agree to Gary Barber's request.
Biopics, none of the domestic films of this type have ever made money.
"You don't have to ask for instructions for such a trivial matter, that ......"
"Mr. Gary Barber, Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Mary Parent, Chief Producer."
"Oh, two, I'm very happy to be able to work with you guys, similar to a group like Queen, I also like it very much, oil danger, oil danger, Fake squid, it's really my honor to be able to invest in a film about their biography, there will be similar projects in the future, you don't need to ask for my opinion, as long as the financial side thinks it's okay, you can make the decision."
Lin Dong communicates directly in very authentic London English.
Gary Barber and Mary Parentt couldn't see Lin Dong's appearance, but from his standard London accent and such a gentle and mans-organized tone, they could imagine what a noble gentleman looked like.
It's so mysterious.
What's more, their new boss has conveyed extraordinary authority to them.
There is an old saying in China that a soldier dies for a confidant.
They are not popular with this, but every intelligent life has the need to realize self-worth.
Neither Gary Barber nor Mary Parente were poor, especially Mr. Gary Barber, who had a number of properties, a holiday estate, a seaside cottage, and a bank deposit of tens of millions.
However, he was not particularly successful in Hollywood.
His honor and disgrace have long been linked with MGM, and his life will only be complete if MGM shines in Hollywood and regains his past glory.
He's sixty years old, and he feels like he's still young.
Mary Parente is even more ambitious, and she needs to prove her abilities to Hollywood.
So, they and the boss have the same goal.
The two had a very friendly exchange with Lin Dong over the phone, even if they didn't meet, they had fallen in love with this generous and personable boss.
However, after all, it is not too convenient.
Because Lin Dong was eating Malatang with An Qian at this time, this Malatang didn't even have a private room, so it was really inconvenient to hold a conference call like this.
So, after a few words of chat and encouragement, I hung up.
"Sounds like Hollywood." Ancy actually wanted to avoid it, but this small shop was so big, and she had no place to avoid it.
Today, they sneaked out to eat after filming.
Lin Dong took her to eat spicy tang, although the taste was good, it was too public.
In order to be less conspicuous, she had to disguise herself.
Probably, after others see it, they will say that she looks like Annesy.
"Yes, MGM." Lin Dong had already forgotten about it, and MGM meant only two things to him.
One is to replace the damn lion's head, and the other is to help him lose 10 billion dollars.
As for what the company is worth, that's not what he wants at all.
If it weren't for the system's refusal, he would rather MGM be acquired here and disbanded there.
After all, if MGM wants to help him lose extra money, he must at least lose all the remaining 3.8 billion over there.
He was very unhappy with the purchase price of MGM.
But the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, and there is no point in saying anything now.
"Your company's artists, can they enter Hollywood through MGM?" Ancy asked.
"Probably, but there is no such arrangement for the time being, and project support is needed." Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, but soon lost interest.
He has little interest in entering Hollywood or winning the Oscar.
He likes acting rather than winning awards.
