Chapter 234: See you again for betting
Felicia was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "That's a first-line director, and when shooting movies, he has the ultimate editing rights of the movie, and you don't understand movies, so don't interfere in chaos!" β
Ye Ye almost laughed angrily, Ye Ye dared to guarantee that this Nima was to let a fledgling director shoot the script he gave, but I was afraid that it would be more in line with his own heart than the version in front of him.
Indeed, if it weren't for the final release of the movie, no one would know the final box office of the movie that was made.
For example, Twentieth Century Fox was worried about the risk because of the huge investment in "Titanic", and as a result, it sold the North American distribution rights of "Titanic", which had a North American box office of more than 600 million US dollars, to Paramount for $60 million, and let Paramount pick up a big bargain for nothing.
The result was naturally Twentieth Century Fox's bowels that turned green with regret.
If it is a simple investment in movies, Ye Ye will not care how the director edits, and leave professional things to professional people.
But now it's different, Ye Ye has the box office potential of "Pirates of the Caribbean", if that director is allowed to shoot and edit indiscriminately, it is likely to ruin the super IP of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1"!
"I don't care how famous he is, how many blockbuster movies he has made, but my films, he has to shoot according to my storyboard script, and there can be no deviation!"
"If he can't do it, then change the director!"
"If a director can't do it, then change it again until I make a movie that I'm happy with!"
"You just say a few words with white teeth, and let me offend that director to death!" Felicia was dissatisfied: "That director has a good relationship with my Hardy family, I finally invited him to shoot this movie, and now you ask me to reply to him like this, then his friendship with the Hardy family is almost over!" β
Felicia almost accused Ye Ye of being willful, obviously without much professional knowledge, but she wanted to meddle in the filming of the movie indiscriminately, which not only might ruin the movie, but also squander her Hardy's favor.
This little pepper was forced onto the boat by Ye Ye in a semi-coerced manner, and although he greeted Ye Ye with a smile on weekdays, his dissatisfaction with Ye Ye was actually increasing day by day.
At this time, Ye Ye's seemingly absurd request finally detonated Felicia's dissatisfaction.
Regarding Felicia's outburst, Ye Ye smiled bitterly and said: "Felicia, it's really not that I want to embarrass you on purpose, I have five series of scripts for this "Pirates of the Caribbean", and I plan to shoot it into a series, so naturally I can't let others mess around." β
"The stakes involved in this are almost billions of dollars, and if it is shown according to the version shot by this director, if it hits the streets, who will be responsible?"
"Is a film director responsible? He can't afford to take that responsibility! β
"So this film had to be shot according to my requirements, and if something went wrong, I was responsible!"
The current Ambrera can do without him Ye Ye, but it can't do without Felicia, basically all the details are handled by Felicia, without her, the entire Ambrera can't function effectively.
However, the magic phone can detect other people's unfavorable thoughts towards the owner of the phone.
Ye Ye, who has the crown prince and the silly girl, can naturally find out that Felicia does not have the slightest covetousness for Ambrera.
Ye Ye also relied on the prince and the stupid girl, and had found out a lot of people with bad intentions, including agents sent by S.H.I.E.L.D., and commercial spies who investigated the patented technology of Jericho missiles.
Therefore, Ye Ye did not have the slightest doubt that Felicia would empty him and harm Ambrera's interests.
After listening to Ye Ye's words, Felicia thought about it, and her mind slowly calmed down.
As Ye Ye said, if the box office performance of the movie is not satisfactory, then the person who suffers will only be Ye Ye alone, and for the director, it is just a loss of statement, and what Ye Ye loses is real money.
"Well, I'll tell him!" Felicia broke out in a cold sweat and said, "But when the time comes, you will cry when you pounce on this movie!" β
Felicia is still not optimistic about what good results will happen for non-professionals like Ye Ye to intervene in the field of professionals.
There are too many similar lessons for this kind of thing.
"Anyway, I have a lot of money, even if I hit the street, it's nothing, and the profits brought by the military industry department and the game department are enough for me to hit the street more than ten times. But this movie, which I wrote the script myself, hit the streets? I don't think there's a problem at all with the global box office exceeding $500 million. Ye Ye said with a smile.
In the previous life, the box office explosion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was a beautiful accident, and even investors were not very optimistic about it.
In the eyes of most people, "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is a clichΓ© drama of a prince saving a princess, but with a layer of fantasy.
Later, it was precisely because of the box office explosion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was born.
And Johnny Depp also played the leading role from a supporting role.
The male protagonist of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was actually originally set by Orlando Bloom.
"You're just daydreaming!" Felicia said disdainfully: "How many movies are born in Hollywood a year that have a global box office of more than $500 million, and you want to have such a result just by virtue of your ticketed work?" β
In Felicia's opinion, Ye Ye had nowhere to burn this movie because he had a lot of money, so he took it out to play with tickets.
However, Felicia is not optimistic about the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", on the contrary, Felicia is also optimistic about the box office prospects of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", but Felicia feels that Ye Ye wants to make a play and expand the business of Ambrera Group at will, and there is no reasonable charter at all.
This "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" Ye Ye invested 80 million US dollars, and Ye Ye probably had a box office of 120 million US dollars, which is enough to recover the cost in various channels such as videotapes and product peripherals.
Felicia felt that there was not much problem with the film if it wanted to return to its original cost.
"You don't believe it? So how about we make a bet? Ye Ye said with interest.
Ye Ye felt that he was also addicted to betting, and he wanted to make a bet with anyone he met.
However, it has been so long since Felicia has been snare in Ambrera, and the mission has not progressed at all.
Ye Ye felt that in order to complete Felicia's task, it seemed that it should not be possible to use ordinary means to slowly figure it out.
If he can complete the task on Felicia through the bet, Ye Ye thinks it is still good.
Felicia's brown eyes rolled, thinking about the plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is not bad, but if it wants to break $500 million at the box office, Felicia feels that it is impossible, and the Hardy family is no stranger to film investment, and has its own set of evaluation methods for the commercial value of films.
"How do you want to bet?"
