Lile Chengdu doesn't know how much the original "Eight Immortals Hotel" earned, but I remember that it shouldn't be particularly high!

In fact, the 93 version won 15.7 million, which is equivalent to a box office result of 12 million in 85 according to the overall horizontal comparison of the box office.

Li Lecheng dares to let Fat Bo vote!

"Don't be impulsive! Your industry is fast and rich in money, and it's not so defeated! There is so much money, invest in island currency! ”

Li Lecheng remembers that the Plaza Accord seems to have been signed in September this year.

"Huh? How do you say that?! Jin Debo was surprised, he didn't expect Li Lecheng to tell him how to invest in the opposite direction.

Li Lecheng doesn't particularly understand it, but he knows roughly: "I think Yousi will depreciate their own knife currency in order to solve the trade deficit, and then the currencies of the big countries are expensive, and the island country feels that it is rising, and it must also want to make its currency appreciate by the way!" Hit it off! If you exchange knife coins for island dollars, you will definitely make a lot of money! ”

Jin Debo smiled: "Well, you are ...... It seems that you have been reading the newspaper a lot lately, and you have come up with something yourself, but ah, this is just a guess, and in fact, many people have this opinion.

But it is not so fast to wait for this opportunity to speculate in foreign exchange, but even if as you said, they really take such measures, they have to wait for a while before they are suitable for speculation, and as far as I say, how to adjust the currency exchange rate, after all, it is a big country, and it can double in three years or five years, this kind of investment, for us, is considered to be a stable type, and the profit is average, and the victory is quite stable. ”

Li Lecheng was disappointed: "It turns out that the price of housing is not as fast as that of Hong Kong Island!" ”

Jin Debo nodded: "Yes!" ”

In the end, it was a good way to say that the fat wave who originally wanted to cover the remaining 700,000 shortfall was reduced to 500,000, and no matter how little, the fat wave was not happy: "Then my investment ratio is too small, too chicken!" ”

Li Lecheng had no choice but to accept Fat Bo's kindness.

In this way, the fat wave of 500,000 accounts for 35% of the total investment, and there is still a gap of 200,000, which can only be discounted by 10% of the investment ratio.

Since many of the labor expenses of the film crew are not settled at one time, Li Lecheng now has 50,000 yuan in savings, and if he thinks of a way in a few months, he can still make up the money.

However, Xu Ke is 45% off 500,000, Fat Bo is 35% off for 500,000, and he himself is 200,000 off 10%, will this be too pitiful?

Although he wants to recover the 200,000 as long as the box office of the movie hits 5 million, he is still very bottomless.

He is not Xu Ke or Fat Bo, he has so much money, if he has this money, he might as well buy a house for his family!

It took an hour to finish filming the TVK TV drama scene in the evening, and it was not too late for him to go home, but at nine o'clock, he was going to knock on the door of Chu Yuan's house, but as soon as his hand was raised, it fell again.

As a human being in two lives, even if he has no eyes, he knows that Chu Yuan has helped him so much, and he didn't mention the matter of investment, so naturally he doesn't mean that, and his movie is estimated to not necessarily make a few dollars.

Never mind.

Li Lecheng stared at his budget table, tangled up all night, and didn't know when to fall asleep.

The next morning, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his watch, sat on the bed and thought about it for five minutes, and finally decided to use a solution that he had come up with last night that was not the way to go.

Chu Yuan handed him the phone number of a pizza shop yesterday morning, a former employee surnamed Sun Shao, who also emigrated there.

Li Lecheng raised the microphone and dialed a long, long number, and finally got through, he looked at the rising sun in the morning, and then spoke in English:

"Hi and good evening...... No, I'm not ordering pizza...... I'm looking for someone ......."

……

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Los Angeles, a chaotic neighborhood

Gui Zhihong raised his hands and stumbled out of a dilapidated apartment......

He was still wearing a delivery vest from a chain pizza shop, and there was a severely congested red and swollen corner of his forehead, and after a few seconds, the blood was instantly congested and began to flow purple and oozing blood.

This was smashed with the butt of a gun.

This is the second time he has been robbed since delivering pizza.

The ruffians here pretend to order pizza and then wait for the pizza parlor delivery man to deliver it to their door, then snatch the pizza and the change from their pockets.

Even a pizza crepes have to be grabbed......

Gui Zhihong grinned hoarsely in pain, but he was uncomfortable and cared about this, and he was even more worried about how he had to take out some of the money from his barely enough salary to pay for the robbed pizza fee and the pocket full of change......

Who would have thought that a year ago, he was still working as his director on Hong Kong Island, and after filming his last film, he hit the street, and he retired, feeling that he might be like Shaw Brothers, and he couldn't keep up with the current market taste. It just so happened that he left the Shaw Brothers who were about to collapse in the building, unlike others who started to prepare for the exodus early, he was one of the few directors of the Shaw Brothers who persevered until the last two years and worked hard, and in those years, he also made some good box office evil films for the Shaw Brothers.

Then, he emigrated to the other side of the sea, intending to reunite with his wife and children, who had been there for a few years.

When his wife came over, she told him that she would give her all the money, and she would open a Chinese restaurant here, and then they would make a living from it, so that he could stay on Hong Kong Island and continue to make money.

He is not a big director in Shaw Brothers, there are Zhang Che, Li Hanxiang, as well as Hu Jinquan and Chu Yuan, his status is not high, but because of his filming style, he is also known as the "angry director". But in fact, it is also a more expensive skilled worker.

In 77, when Shaw Brothers was still in the limelight, his salary was only 40,000 yuan, and when he left Shaw Brothers later, it was still only tens of thousands of yuan. He worked hard to save money and remit it it to his wife, leaving nothing on himself.

When I arrived here across the ocean, I thought I was about to start a new life, only to find out that there was no Chinese restaurant.

The money was swallowed by his wife.

His wife obviously didn't want to live with him, so she threw him 30,000 yuan and swept him away!

He didn't dare to touch the 30,000 yuan, but once he did, he was exhausted, so he went to Los Angeles and got a job delivering pizza from the newspaper, which has been going on for almost a year......

"Alas!"

Who would have thought that a year ago, he was still working as a "big guide" on Hong Kong Island, but now he is delivering pizza across the sea?

Riding a bicycle from a pizza shop to deliver food, he drove to the address of the next order.

He is a drama addict, I remember that when he was in his twenties and just came out of school, he also rode his bicycle around like this to fight for opportunities, at that time he was carrying a script, as long as someone was willing to ask him to be a director, he could not be paid, and then receive remuneration when the movie was released, although he was poor, he was full of hope.

And now, he is 48 years old, his hair has turned a lot gray, and he rides like this just to live.

Several former colleagues who have also immigrated have occasional contact with each other, everyone is very unsatisfactory, and some are trying to go to Hollywood to break through, he doesn't have this idea, and this year has hit him hard enough! They also said privately that the scenes he filmed before were too evil, and he was quite tormented by the actors and behind the scenes, and even the assistant director was burned to the point of disability during filming.

He is in such a situation now that he lacks virtue and has done too many things...... Retribution.

He doesn't know retribution or not.

He only felt that his state of filming in the last two years was very poor, and he only felt guilty that he was sorry for those movies.

Exhausted when he arrived at the store, as soon as he looked up, he saw an exaggerated expression, as if something was about to find his colleague.

The locals here are very exaggerated and like to be surprised.

"I was robbed and other pizzas have been delivered. Can I be allowed to take half a day off? Gui Zhihong is no longer able to deal with the explanation, this kind of thing, in fact, happens to the delivery people in the store occasionally.

"No, no! Someone is looking for your call! Calling from Hong Kong Island! The manager beckoned him, gave him a phone, and patted him on the shoulder.

Gui Zhihong still doesn't understand the situation a little, who else on Hong Kong Island will remember to look for him?

And found here. "Hello, Director Gui, I have a movie in my hand, and I want to ask you to go out of the mountain to be the director......

But I don't have much of a budget, can you convert your directing fee into a 10% investment?

…… Don't hang up yet! Listen to me first, no one can film you in this scene, it's called "Eight Immortals Restaurant's Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun"!!

Feed?! Hey, hey! Are you still listening......"

Of course, Gui Zhihong was listening, but his face was already full of tears, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.
