Chapter 1557: Film Company
Although the contract can be lost as paper in the toilet, it is difficult to find a new buyer.
Although there were many countries bidding in the previous Ermao bidding, the prices of these countries were basically below 40 million US dollars, which was much lower than Xu Ping's offer.
Now you let Ermao Shipyard, which already thinks that its big ship is worth 60 million, continue to sell it at a price of 40 million, how can you say that Ermao Shipyard can accept it.
At this moment, Ermao Shipyard is a little at a loss, can it really only continue to be sold at a price of 40 million US dollars?
In fact, the shipyard also asked for the price, but the bidders not only refused to give another $40 million price, but were even only willing to pay about $20 million.
As a result, it lasted for half a month, and there was no result, just as Ermao Shipyard was pondering whether it was appropriate to put some prices, or to make a new bidding, suddenly a company took the initiative to come to the door and expressed its willingness to buy the ship at a price of 60 million US dollars.
This made the whole Ermao shipyard very excited, and the director of the factory took out the only little funds in the factory to entertain the representatives of this company in the best five-star hotel in Ermao.
The kind that the vodka tube is enough.
"Hello Mr. Director, I am Lawrence, the general manager of Mi Guo Trensu Films!" It was a standard Mi man with new hair and blue eyes who spoke.
"Film Company!!" The director was taken aback, and then felt that he had been tricked, how could any film company in the world come over to buy a big boat?
The factory director wanted to get up and leave on the spot, but when he saw the dozens of bottles of vodka on the wine table, he hesitated for a while, thinking that it was better to drink all the wine before leaving, so as not to waste the friendship of the workers, after all, the banquet was all put on the basis of the little unemployment allowance that the shipyard workers had.
"Yes, I know, Mr. Director may be a little surprised to hear this, but we are indeed a film company, and we do want to buy a big ship!" The other party laughed.
"What are you buying big boats for?" The factory director asked puzzled.
"Of course it's a movie!" Lawrence laughed.
"You buy aircraft carriers to make movies???" The factory director felt that his three views were exploding, and he urgently needed vodka to repair his three views.
"Of course, doesn't the director know that there is a film genre in the world called war movies? And war movies need all kinds of war weapons to appear! Lawrence said.
"I see, you're going to use our big ship to make a war movie!" The director finally reacted, and suddenly realized, "You guys are planning to make a movie related to naval battles!" ”
"Not bad!" Lawrence said excitedly, "You know, in 95, this "Titanic" was simply popular all over the world, so we also want to make a movie related to the sea and big ships while it is hot!" ”
"So we plan to shoot the legendary life of the enterprise ship during World War II!" Lawrence said, "The story of the Enterprise is well known, it's a legendary ship, and I think if we can make a movie, it will definitely be a big hit!" ”
"So you're planning to buy our boat for filming!" The factory director finally understood the reason why the other party wanted to buy the big ship, but he still felt a little incredible.
"That's right, we plan to buy a big ship, and then simply modify it into the appearance of the Enterprise, which will become the most important prop for our filming!" Lawrence Road.
"I see, but our ship is Maozi style, and it is also the latest model, which is completely different from the Enterprise of decades ago!" The factory director asked puzzled.
"Yes, so it needs to be modified, I think it's actually similar in many places, but the difference between the ship islands is bigger, but it doesn't matter, we'll modify it when it is modified!" Lawrence waved his hand and said, "These are very simple, but they really don't work, and there are special effects." And in fact, there are a few viewers who know what the real Enterprise looks like, as long as we do it almost the same, there is a big scene like a physical ship shooting, and the audience will be satisfied! ”
"But as far as I know, there are still a lot of Yorktown-class aircraft carriers in your country that have not been dismantled, isn't it easier to borrow them directly for filming?" The factory director still asked puzzled.
"We thought so at first, but after actually contacting them, we learned that almost all of these ships have been in the museum, and after decades of years, they have not been properly maintained, and now they have completely lost the ability to sail far, at most they are floating in the offshore position, which is useless!"
"At the same time, although these ships are not good, but they are all cultural relics, and there are many thieves, even if we lose an iron nail, it is considered to be destroyed cultural relics, and it is to be convicted, this kind of thing cannot be used for filming at all! What's more, we have a big move in the shooting plan, and the museum will definitely not agree to us! Lawrence smiled wryly.
"Then I don't know what your company's big move is?" The factory director asked curiously.
"It's that when we shoot at the end, we're going to blow up the whole big ship!" Lawrence Road.
"What, you're going to blow up such a good ship" The director was shocked!
"Yes! Didn't the Enterprise be seriously wounded when it participated in the Battle of Santa Cruz? Lawrence said
"That's true, but the Enterprise survived later, and even continued to participate in the battle while sailing, and finally sank the battleship Hiei in Fuso! This is the most legendary of her legendary history! ”
"That's right, in our shooting plan, in order to reflect the difficulty of the battle of the Enterprise, we plan to make the battle a little more intense, originally hit by 6 bombs, we plan to simply make more than 20 bombs, and more than a dozen torpedoes hit at the same time, but the Enterprise still insists on fighting, how about it, is this very legendary?"
"That's not all, this time we plan to shoot with live ammunition, that is, we really get more than 20 aerial bombs, and more than a dozen torpedoes to attack the Enterprise, so that we can shoot the most shocking, but also exactly the same movie picture as the actual combat!" At this point, Lawrence was very proud.
"But...... But ...... "the director licked his lips" No big ship can withstand the hit of a dozen torpedoes, if you really shoot like this, the ship will definitely be gone! ”
"That's right! That's our big plan! Lawrence laughed, "We're going to leave this shot for the last shot, so that the ship sinks, and the shot is finished, and everything is very complete!" ”
"That's what we talked to the museum about, but when the museum heard that we were going to make a ship, they rejected us on the spot. Hey, what a pity! Lawrence sighed, it was a pity indeed.
