Chapter 145: Clever Persuasion
How much does it cost to invest to make a movie in the Fifty States Union?
Depending on what kind of film is being filmed, the few will cost tens of millions, and the more will be like Avatar 2, some people say that it cost close to 400 million US dollars. But you can't just look at the investment, you have to look at the returns, even if there are a lot of Hollywood ones who didn't come back after filming, they are naturally wasted.
So don't think that the eight major Hollywood film companies sent people to Si Mingyu because they value him, but they actually value his money. took the initiative to come to the door to say good things to the face, and then fooled Si Mingyu to invest and make money, not chilling.
Even if Si Mingyu invests money and the film becomes popular in the end, when the conscientious film company gives him soup, and the black-hearted one makes a loss-making income and expenditure sheet and throws it over, what can you say?
Don't look at the Wall Street capital behind the major film companies now, it is not unheard of in the early days of Hollywood pits Wall Street vampires, and there is a rich second generation in China. When the time comes, even if you sue and fight a lawsuit, people are not afraid, the water in here is too deep.
Then someone will ask, aren't you afraid that Si Mingyu will do something to these film companies after he returns to Huaxia? Can't fight you in Hollywood, can't you fight when your film comes in?
People are really not afraid.
The film industry in China is deeper than Hollywood, even if you are a billionaire, you are only working those star artists, and it is not enough to see it at the level of film company producers, and there are people behind them. When the time comes, you don't want to be a traitor, some people are willing to be traitors, even if you summon the Yin soldiers, you have to lift the box office of the movie.
But when the money didn't arrive, Hollywood studios had to treat Si Mingyu as the God of Wealth.
So Kristen Stewart suddenly received calls from senior executives of major companies, producers and directors of major companies, directors and other heavyweights, all for the same purpose, asking her to meet Si Mingyu.
As for who Si Mingyu is, Christine doesn't know at all, but since so many people have called, it means that the other party is very important.
As soon as she checked on the Internet, she immediately understood that the rich second generation with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, this kind of person's money is really too good. At the same time, she also knew that the other party named her name and let her definitely have a plan.
It's not impossible to look at the other party's age and appearance, in fact, after checking the information on the Internet, Christine prefers Zhang Ningxi. This girl from the East is so beautiful that it fits her aesthetic standards perfectly.
Little K's hobbies are well known.
It didn't matter which company Christine promised to, but she couldn't help but go. Everyone knows that there are so many companies, she can only choose one, so the others will not blame her, but if no one gives face, there will be many people who offend.
As for what happens to the place after she gets there, she still has a choice. Perhaps, she is not sure how much money the rich second generation from the East is willing to invest, if it is too much, she will be very stressed.
In the end, she agreed to the Walt Disney Company, and she could find an excuse to shirk the others by choosing a large company.
The company that failed to invite Christine recommended other actresses under its own umbrella, considering Si Mingyu's age, these people recommended were all post-00s to post-90s, no matter how young they were, they were not without fame.
Si Mingyu refused all of them.
Not to mention that he wanted to see Christine for his own reasons. These new generation of Hollywood post-zero female stars can't say that they are ugly, but they have to look at who they compare with, and their appearance is worlds different from those famous actresses in history, even with Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Roberts and others after the 90s.
The aesthetics of the people in the Fifty States have deviated badly recently, and Hollywood has inevitably been affected. It is said that a certain beauty pageant actually chose a brown fat man as the champion, and it was a man, can it be more disgusting?
Hollywood Pendry Hotel, Presidential Suite.
"Mr. Robert, Miss Christine, please come in." Hundred miles of snow led the two to the living room.
"You two may be seated." Si Mingyu just stretched out his hand and gestured, his English was a pure old London Zhengmi flag accent, which was an authentic one.
"Thank you, Mr. Si."
Si Mingyu looked at Xiao K, she was wearing a long black dress, mainly to look thin, and her comfortable life made her a lot fatter. But it doesn't matter, the physique of Europeans and Americans is like this, if you want to lose weight, you will lose weight soon with the guidance of a professional coach.
"Mr. Robert, what do you want me to tell me directly? I only have half an hour for you. ”
"Mr. Si, then I'll make a long story short. Our company understands that you have invested in several films in China, are you interested in participating in the filming of films owned by The Walt Disney Company? ”
He added: "Disney doesn't just make animated films, the famous Twentieth Century Studios, Marvel Studios, are all owned by our company. We understand that you have a lot of Marvel actors at your graduation ceremony, so you think you will be interested in the superhero series. ”
Although superhero actors were invited to the graduation ceremony, if they were to dress up as in the movie to participate in large-scale events, they still needed to get authorization from Marvel, so Disney knew about it.
"Why are you looking for me? If you want to co-produce, there are many film and television companies in Huaxia that can do it. Si Mingyu asked rhetorically.
"There is no basis for cooperation. The special effects of many films in China are made by our Hollywood team, and they can't do what we can do. As famous movie stars such as Huaxia Jackie Chan gradually faded out of the screen, people from other countries did not buy the traffic stars that Huaxia Film and Television Company was proud of. If special effects use our stars and use ours, then what does Hollywood need them to do? ”
Robert said very practically, Hollywood lacks nothing but money, so why cooperate with Huaxia's film and television companies to let them share the money? If you need a Chinese actor, you can ask for it alone.
"You have the money and the channels, and the Disney company has strong IP and production capabilities, so there's no reason why we can't make money if we cooperate."
Robert also knew that Si Mingyu was not short of money or channels to make money, and the reason for investing in films to make money alone could not impress the other party, so he skillfully persuaded him: "Mr. Si, Hollywood's influence in the world is very extensive, so if you invest in a few films that become popular, it will also be very helpful to increase your popularity." The identity of a Hollywood investor or producer can be regarded as entering the art circle. ”
"Mr. Robert, maybe you have a point, but I'd like to know how much it costs to invest in a film in Hollywood, or rather, to invest in a Disney film of yours?" Although Si Mingyu is not very interested, he might as well ask.
"Mr. Si, I have brought a list of investments, which is the film we are going to shoot in the next year, please take a look." Robert handed over a document.
