Chapter 461: Movie Opening Ceremony

Looking at the smiling Bernardo on the stage, Bertolucci finished his introduction. Diaphragm

He was really excited that this premiere would be big. He is somewhat well-known in Europe, but he is not well-known in North America, so to speak, very little.

He didn't want to hold a premiere for the movie, but it was held, who would attend.

There are so many big directors and first-class stars this time, it must not be for him, and Mi Guo may not have heard his name, let alone the movie "The Last Emperor", all of which are based on Boss He's big face.

Now he sighs that Emperor Ming's film industry is capable, and he can't offend Emperor Ming in the future.

He also has a film company, before the script of "The Last Emperor" was formed, when he was looking for investment, he ran into walls everywhere and remade the Chinese story, many people were not optimistic, so he found the French branch of Minghuang Pictures.

Because he knows that this is a Huaxia film company.

Originally, the French Minghuang branch was established to invest in literary films, and the investment was controlled between 10/1 million US dollars, after all, literary films, and there is no big scene, a male protagonist and a female protagonist are enough...... Diaphragm

The script of "The Last Emperor" was in the hands of the French Ming Emperor Pictures, and he was returned for the first time.

Because the market is uncertain, another is that the investment is too high!

It is estimated that the investment of 23 million US dollars is almost the same as the profit of the French Minghuang Film Branch in a year, and he simply cannot afford the loss of investment failure.

At that time, Bernardo was not happy, this literary film was made just by selling the copyright, and this time it was distributed to the Ming Emperor, then he still made a dime.

The other party added another 1,000 to invest a total of 20 million US dollars, which made Bernardo worry-free, because there was no need to worry about finding investors, Ming Huang was all-inclusive, and the remaining 3 million US dollars was invested by his company.

After the filming was completed, all the investment was 25 million US dollars, and then handed over to Ming Huang for distribution, but he wanted the Italian distribution rights at that time, because he had great influence in the local area, had his own distribution channels, and his own company could make more money by distributing it.

Emperor Ming ignored him when he arrived, he signed the contract, the movie was finished, what else is he doing with you as a director, watch it. Diaphragm

Seeing that the movie "The Last Emperor" was well received after its release outside of North America and sold well at the box office, this old boy was upset, but today he is much stronger.

He Yuzhu ignored him and was very interested in several big directors and female stars at the party, especially Jennifer Connelly and Nicole Kidman.

Especially Nicole, Kidman, who is still so young at this time.

David saw He Yuzhu's gaze, glanced at Jia Yuli, and saw that her eyes were on the stage to watch the actor's thank-you speech, David leaned over and whispered: "Boss, have you taken a fancy to this little star?" ”

"She is Australian, and she has just come to the dock, and I don't know where the invitation came in. Boss, you like it, she can have dinner with you in the evening......"

After speaking, he showed a knowing smile to He Yuzhu, and said: "Boss, I'll tell you, Australians are actually not interesting, you have to like it, I suggest you find Texas women, they have good skills, they can play well, and you can ...... any action and gameplay."

He Yuzhu sounded very outrageous, quickly interrupted him, glanced at Jia Yuli, turned his head and whispered: "It's over, it's over, I like this kind of subtlety." "Ahh

"Oh!" David suddenly realized that he had forgotten that Asians were very reserved and modest, and it seemed that the big boss would have a direction in the future.

"Boss I'll tell her ...... night"

"What are you talking about?" Jia Yuli suddenly looked back at the two sneaky old men, made them laugh with bad intentions, and asked suspiciously.

He Yuzhu sat up straight very naturally and said to David: "In the future, these big directors will be recruited in time, especially James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, these two people will find a way to win them over." ”

David was stunned when he heard this, "Boss, others are okay, Steven has been cooperating with us before." James is indeed a successful commercial director, but he is short-tempered and often overspends his film budget. ”

He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, as long as you can make money, you can accept it at the overrun." ”

Truck drivers are notoriously overspent on movies, not to mention Alien 2, which was released last year, just during the filming of Big Ship, Fox was almost forced to sell his ass to raise money. Diaphragm

At that time, in order to shoot the Titanic, the quotation budget was 80 million, and Fox knew that Cameron would burn money without blinking, so he added another 20 million, thinking that this was enough!

Unexpectedly, before the filming was halfway through, $100 million was burned! The speed at which Cameron burned money really frightened Fox, and in desperation, he had no choice but to ask the big head Paramount Company to inject 6,000 capital, but it was all at once, and it was gone, Paramount was frightened and said that he would not invest anything.

Fox was forced to have no choice, and he didn't want to invest in the past, so he invested another 40 million, and said at the time that the movie was lost, and the company was basically a yellow mess, and Fox became a joke at that time.

However, after its release, it won 18 box office worldwide, making 20 Fox bloody.

So I'm not afraid of overspending, I'm afraid that after overspending, I won't make money, which is terrifying.

He Yuzhu has been friends with the card god for a long time, explained a few words to David, and took him over to chat with the card god who is still young now.

James Cameron was somewhat flattered, this man named George, Mr. He seemed to appreciate him very much, and said that he would come to Colombia directly to make movies in the future to find investment, and directly set up the project after reviewing the script. Diaphragm

The president of Columbia next to him also gave him a guarantee, which is very moving, unlike other companies, where the script is handed over, all kinds of reviews are submitted, and it is submitted layer by layer, and finally there is market potential before the project can be filmed.

And the actresses in the crowd all stared at He Yuzhu directly, and secretly said Who is this, with such great ability, they can actually make the president of Colombia obey.

The actors on the scene were pitiful to him, very much like coming up and putting it in, but He Yuzhu was walking around the major directors and the top management of the film company, and he was temporarily familiar with Haolaiwu.

After a period of time, everyone was asking who He Yuzhu was, but when they inquired, they could only find out that he was the manager of Bright Capital, and they didn't know anything else.

But if you think about it, you can know that he is the manager of Bright Capital, and Bright Capital is the big proprietor of Columbia Pictures, which is not difficult to guess.

After the premiere of "The Last Emperor" began, He Yuzhu watched it seriously, he had seen it in his previous life, but he forgot about it, and it was still a very classic to watch it again.

The film is more than two hours long, He Yuzhu watched it with relish, while others were similar to him. Diaphragm

At this time, I have to say that this film was very successful, and the complex story was completed in one go, at least it can be understood.

What he said can be understood not only by Chinese Americans, but also by these foreign veterans, which is very difficult.

Starting the next day, "The Last Emperor" began to be released on a large scale, and the publicity and distribution were all Colombia's best plays, and He Yuzhu didn't pay attention to it, so he was busy buying theaters and negotiating with Royal Entertainment.

"How's Microsoft doing, and there's still no progress?" He Yuzhu looked down at the information, and asked Wang Xueliang without raising his head.

In the office, Wang Xueliang shook his head, "Microsoft has made no progress. The other party did not agree to our shareholding at all, and even if the premium was 80%, no institution would sell it to us. ”

He Yuzhu shook his head, when Microsoft was officially popular, don't look at the stock market crash not long after, Microsoft fell on Black Monday, and immediately eased up.

Now when the PC industry is officially hot, and the Microsoft system, especially a monopoly, is favored by the capital market, especially the Windows 1.0 system was launched a few months before the listing, so that the market is generally optimistic. Diaphragm

Microsoft went public in 1986, and its stock price was 28 yuan when it went public, and in 1987 it was 120 yuan.

It's outrageous, other companies are falling, but he is rising against the trend.

It can't be helped, who let the Microsoft system dominate.
