Chapter 826: The League of Assassins
Regarding the attitude of Lao Bai and new movies, both the Forbidden City and Lotus Pictures are a little complicated.
On the one hand, of course, they want to be able to invest, and it is best to lead the film, after all, the name Lao Bai represents success! Even when "Kill Bill" performed mediocre at the domestic box office, it was enough to ensure that all the investments were recovered and there was a small surplus. Therefore, investing in Lao Bai's movies has almost no possibility of losing money.
But on the other hand, the old white lion's big mouth made them scratch their heads.
With an investment of 500 million, if it is a costume blockbuster or those big directors, these film companies will probably smash it without hesitation. But when it comes to Lao Bai, a guy who has just directed two movies, and has already determined the starring lineup, they must think about it when they don't even have a star who can hold down the scene.
Is the risk too great?
The investment of 500 million means that there are at least seven or eight billion plus the publicity and distribution costs, which also means that the new movie and "Kill Bill" are not at the same level at all. So strictly speaking, even if the new movie also wins $300 million worldwide, it will be a loss at the box office alone.
Of course, if you count other incomes, you will definitely earn them.
It's just that considering that those revenues must take a long time, this huge amount of money is not necessarily cost-effective for such a long time. The only thing that makes people more excited is that they can open up the situation overseas with the box office of the movie! So when "Kill Bill" grossed more than $300 million, several studios were tempted.
Merely......
"Talking about it, they still hope to see the script as soon as possible!"
When there were still five days before the wedding, Sun Ya was sipping melon seeds in the old mansion and said casually: "To be honest, I can't refute it!" This is your third movie, and it costs four or five billion yuan to open your mouth, but you can't even get a script until now...... Wow! Jiajia, this wedding dress is so beautiful! ”
When Zheng Jia came out of the bedroom, Sun Ya jumped up almost reflexively!
"Goo-dong!"
Even if he gets along with Zheng Jia day and night every day, Sun Peng still subconsciously swallowed his saliva when he saw her at this time, and his eyes became hooked.
The world's only custom wedding dress shows Zheng Jia's advantages to the fullest.
Tall and beautiful figure, slender and fair neck, and of course, her delicate and beautiful face, she is like a goddess set off by a seemingly simple, but perfectly detailed wedding dress everywhere!
Especially the bright smile, which almost blinded Sun Peng's eyes.
"Tut, our Jiajia's appearance is simply the rhythm of killing those stars in seconds!"
After circling Zheng Jia twice, Sun Ya's eyes lit up and said, "Jiajia, see your appearance...... To be honest, my sister and I want to fall in love and find someone to get married! ”
"Then you can go and find it! Hehe, with your good looks, Sister Ya, it's not easy to find a good man? ”
Blinking, Zheng Jia replied with a grin.
“……”
Rolling his eyes, Sun Peng didn't dare to make a sound on the side.
He still understands his second sister, although her figure and appearance are not as good as Zheng Jia and her cousin Lin Lin, but the genes of the old Sun family are still very strong, and they are definitely of the highest level. It's just that this strong woman of the new era doesn't seem to be interested in getting married at all...... No, no, it should be said that not only is he not interested in getting married, but he can even say that he is not interested in a fixed boyfriend, and his boyfriend is changed twice in three days, and I remember that my aunt's mouth is about to bubble!
Sun Peng remembered that he was the lawyer surnamed Wang two months ago, and he was quite optimistic about it.
It's a pity that it's been two or three months?
Then one time, when her brother's concern was asked, Sun Ya said lightly that they had broken up, the reason was that everyone was too busy, and sometimes they couldn't see each other twice a week, so it wasn't interesting......
Sure enough, after listening to Zheng Jia's words, Sun Ya smiled and said: "This depends on fate, fate will naturally come when it comes, but don't worry now, I'm still young!" ”
That's right, you're still young!
Looking at his second sister's face and figure, Sun Peng couldn't help but roll his eyes again. Although the appearance is indeed very young, that is, twenty-six or seventeen years old, but Sun Ya's real age can he still not know? In two years, she will really be an old leftover girl......
However, Sun Peng didn't dare to talk about this topic, just patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, people came to the capital to change it for Jiajia, otherwise I am afraid that the wedding will really be delayed!" ”
"Nonsense, how much did it cost us to make this trip?"
His eyes never left Zheng Jia, who was dazzling at the moment, and Sun Ya replied angrily.
In order to prepare for his wedding, Zheng Jia has been dieting and losing weight during this time, wanting to use his best self to welcome the most important day in his life. And the result of weight loss is that the near-perfect body has lost four pounds, and the wedding dress sent from New York a month ago has a little bit of a bad fit...... Just a little bit.
However, in the eyes of Zheng Jia and Sun Ya, this misfit is simply a disaster!
So needless to say, the wedding dress designer immediately flew to the capital and spent two days to change it perfectly. Then while Zheng Jia and the others were all satisfied, Sun Peng also paid a lot of extra money with a little distress, and then they were all satisfied, and they were all happy.
But now looking at Zheng Jia's appearance, Sun Peng's distress disappeared in an instant.
It's worth it!
After showing off in front of her future husband and sister-in-law for a while, Zheng Jia went back to the bedroom to change her clothes satisfied. And the moment the bedroom door closed, Sun Ya turned her face and asked, "Xiaopeng, just talked about the script...... When will your new movie script come out? ”
"Huh? Oh, let's live for a while! ”
After finally retrieving the soul, Sun Peng shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "At present, the general plot has been determined, but ...... Haha, I still have to think about the specific details, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of time. ”
"After a while? Can you give a specific deadline? ”
Frowning, Sun Ya was not particularly satisfied with this answer.
Sun Peng's casual remark is really easy after a while, but for Sun Ya, it is not only necessary to negotiate with those film companies that are interested in investment and cooperation, but also to coordinate the schedules of people such as Lang Chen, Lin Lin and Xue Ligang, and even the work of a few "martial arts masters", which is relatively much more troublesome.
"Well, then three months!"
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng gave a definite conclusion.
"Three months......"
After a moment's thought, the agent nodded thoughtfully.
It took three months to come up with the final version of the script, that is, in August and September, and then spent four or five months to prepare, start filming after the Spring Festival, and start the initial publicity at the same time, and then the Chinese New Year file at the end of the year will be released......
It's a perfect fit, it's all right!
So after nodding with a little satisfaction this time, Sun Ya then asked, "What about the name of the movie?" The script is not available for the time being, you can always give me a ...... Even if it's a temporary name! ”
"Name......"
After rubbing his chin, Sun Peng thought for a moment and smiled: "Of course this is no problem, if nothing else, the new movie will be called "League of Assassins", ......"
