Chapter 244: I Want to Play Big

"How does it feel to watch a movie alone with my fairy sister?"

The voice on the phone was a little strange, with a smell of old vinegar from Shanxi, very sour.

"Don't talk nonsense, the assistant is also there, not alone. But I sat with Liu Xiqian, and it was okay to be alone. ”

Qin Muchu heard the sour taste, but he also said it deliberately, he just liked the feeling of dancing on the tip of the knife.

After saying that, he left his phone on the table hands-free, and he continued to write something on a draft.

"Humph! Hit you! ”

Yang Mi snorted and no longer pretended to be jealous.

Liu Xiqian called Qin Muchu to watch a movie and told her, she agreed, and she would never make trouble with her boyfriend because of this matter afterwards.

In fact, even if Liu Xiqian didn't tell her in advance, she didn't feel anything.

Neither of these people is a person who can lie, and if they really had a private affair, they would have been exposed.

Seeing that she hadn't deceived her boyfriend, Yang Mi asked again:

"Is the movie good? I read that the reviews on the Internet are not bad. ”

"It's okay, it's quite shocking to watch some scenes in the cinema, the plot is simple, and it's also very cool."

"Then when I finish filming, will you take me to watch it again?"

“…… Okay. Qin Muchu said.

Just now Yang Mi asked how the movie was, and his answer was incomplete.

"Iron Man" has good points, and naturally there are bad points.

That is, after watching a movie like "Iron Man" and knowing the plot once, there is basically no urge to watch it repeatedly.

Except for a few true love fans.

"You're not happy?"

Yang Mi was keenly aware of the change in her boyfriend's tone, and her eyes became crying as soon as she rolled her eyes:

"Men really like the new and hate the old.

After reading it with Sissi, she didn't want to watch it with me. Well, after all, I am self-inflicted, and you don't have to be embarrassed, I'll just see it myself.

I shouldn't have opened my mouth to make people laugh at me for being cheap. Woowoooo......oo

“……”

Qin Muchu stopped his pen and listened with a black line on his face.

Of course, he knew that Yang Mi had an attack of "drama essence disease", and he shouldn't have paid attention to her, but this time Yang Mi's onset was too unique.

I couldn't help but say:

"Didn't you play Qingwen? Why did you steal Lin Daiyu's lines? ”

Yang Mi, who was pretending to cry, instantly stopped crying, she was filming on the set today, and she felt that the people in the Red Mansion were really interesting to talk about.

Especially Lin Daiyu's lines.

It seems to be self-pitying, but in fact it is yin and yang.

"Hehe, I act like it, if I don't want to, the role of Lin Daiyu is mine, the most beautiful Lin Daiyu in history!"

Listening to his girlfriend's shameless words, Qin Muchu complained:

"Lin Daiyu is developing as well as you, I'm afraid I don't want to uproot the weeping willow."

Yang Mi didn't know whether she should be angry or happy for a while, she glanced down and straightened her waist proudly:

"Sister's strength really doesn't allow it, how do you say that sentence on the Internet, the face of an angel, the figure of a devil, it's really distressing, hehehehe."

Qin Muchu has a lot of say in this as a party, and when it comes to his figure, he remembers the incident with Yang Mi the night before.

Got serious:

"Are you still feeling well today?"

Yang Mi's laughter stopped, she knew what her boyfriend meant by "uncomfortable", she was a little shy, and whispered back:

"It's basically good."

After a pause, she suddenly said:

"I'll be able to finish it on the 10th."

If Qin Muchu and Yang Mi were on a video call, then he could see that the girl's face was already red.

It's a pity that Qin Muchu couldn't see it, and he didn't hear the deep meaning of the words:

"Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No, you pick me up and run back and forth, I'll just go back by myself...... Don't talk about it, it's time to film! ”

Yang Mi fanned her red and hot face, and at the same time kept criticizing herself in her heart.

woman, why are you so proactive!

It's good that it wasn't heard, otherwise......

……

"I ...... Hung up? In such a hurry? ”

On the other side, Qin Muchu saw Yang Mi hang up the phone, and also came back to his senses to focus on the work in front of him.

Watching the "Iron Man" movie today is not only a good one, but he also learned a lot.

On the piece of paper was a long timeline with a rough estimate of the time he had used his phone to watch the movie, and below it was a series of events that had happened in the movie at that point in time.

There are also a few pieces of paper next to it, drawing pictures that he thinks the special effects are very shocking, and the degree of restoration is very high.

Qin Muchu's eyes wandered back and forth on several pieces of paper, and the pen in his hand kept tapping on the tabletop, making a "click" sound.

Suddenly, the sound stopped.

Qin Muchu looked away from a few pieces of paper and looked out the window.

Why don't you try one?

No, no, it's too much money.

As soon as the idea came out, it was immediately rejected by himself.

Although he is rich, he is not a fool either.

The principle of making a movie is still "at least to preserve the capital".

What's more, this kind of special effects film, the loss is not a small number, and it can easily exceed tens of millions of dollars.

But once this idea is born, it is like having a pair of soft and skillful hands, in your ...... The heart is constantly stroking and teasing.

It makes people's hearts beat faster and faster, as if they are about to spurt blood.

It seems that there is a girl with a graceful figure and an extremely seductive appearance, wearing sexy clothes, swaying with a charming figure, and keeps saying:

"Come on, come on, shoot me."

Who can withstand this?

"Smack!"

The pen was slapped on the table, and Qin Muchu couldn't hold back the turmoil in his heart after all.

……

Zhao Mingyu was very busy during this time, and the money invested by the company last year has gradually begun to pay off.

The box office of "Journey to the West" is 300 million, and Chao Qin and Duchu account for 40 percent, and there are about 60 million in hand.

But now only half of the money has been settled on the theater side.

The first payment of the domestic box office of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" also came, with a box office of 270 million, wholly owned by Chao Qin and Duchu, and more than 100 million yuan in hand.

Now 40 million have also been settled.

In North America, because of the cross-border border, the settlement is relatively slow, and there is no money in the account so far, but that is a big deal.

137 million US dollars, about 60 million US dollars, more than 400 million!

In other words, this year, just by relying on the box office of the movie, the company will probably have an income of 600 million yuan!

If you add all kinds of follow-up copyright operations, there will be several hundred million income!

And this is only the company's income, Zhao Mingyu knows that Qin Muchu personally invested in "Iron Man", with $90 million accounting for 60% of the share.

"Iron Man" is still killing all over the world.

It is expected that the global box office will be more than 500 million or even 600 million US dollars.

Box office revenue plus DVD copyrights, Zhao Mingyu roughly calculated that Qin Muchu's investment in "Iron Man" can earn at least $200 million after removing the principal of $90 million.

couldn't help but smash her mouth, she didn't know whether to say that the boss had a vision or was lucky.

With a net income of more than one billion a year, they can be regarded as the most profitable people in the world, right?

Zhao Mingyu was looking at the financial statements and fell into deep thought, when suddenly the mobile phone rang, and after seeing who the caller was, he immediately connected the phone.

……

"More than a billion, that's enough, you can do it boldly with confidence......"

Hanging up the phone, Qin Muchu kept pacing in the room.

I just asked Zhao Mingyu how much money he can have this year, and the answer he got still made him more comfortable.

But it's not as exciting as it gets.

There is a certain amount of money, and money is just a string of numbers.

This sentence Qin Muchu used to sound like pretending, but now he really agrees.

Many people watch a lot of rich people on the Internet, and feel that people with a net worth of billions or billions are not very rich.

Only to the extent of "two horses and one king" in the future will he be rich.

In fact, this is the eye of the hand.

Not to mention billions, billions, even 100 million, can make a person ...... No, it should be said that a family lives comfortably lying down.

100 million yuan is deposited in the bank for a fixed period, and the interest alone is more than 3 million yuan a year, which means that even if you don't do anything, 10,000 yuan will be credited to your account every day.

Normally, as long as you don't get the word "gambling" in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, you can't spend it at all.

And the "small goal" of 100 million yuan, Qin Muchu achieved it as early as after the filming of "The Gift of Room No. 7".

If you want to lie flat, you can lie down a long time ago.

The reason why I didn't stop and "worked hard" every day was not because there was no Fang Long outside, but because of my love for movies.

Making money is just the value that comes with loving movies.

The so-called "there is food in hand, and there is no panic in my heart", Qin Muchu began to seriously consider the possibility of making a blockbuster.

The first is the subject matter.

Martial arts, Xianxia......

These two are excluded first.

Martial arts have already been filmed, and Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is probably the upper limit of this type of film.

And Xianxia ......

In the absence of prior cultural foreshadowing, foreigners, especially Westerners...... It is really difficult for people to understand mantras such as "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law" and "Those who are fighting in the army are all moving forward in array", and it is difficult for the translator to translate the charm of Chinese.

You have to make something that is universal, people all over the world can understand it, and you have to look at the whole world to make a movie, and the pattern must be big.

Otherwise, you won't be able to trap them......

Qin Muchu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

……

"Why does Master Xing have time to come to the Humble House?"

In the courtyard, Qin Muchu smiled and teased Zhou Xingxing, who suddenly came to visit.

With the success of "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingxing not only gained a firm foothold in the mainland, but also officially changed his identity from an actor to a director.

The status has not improved a little, and the name of "Star Master" is no longer just a joke, but has become genuine.

Zhou Xingxing is now the time when the spring breeze is proud, and when he heard this, he immediately opened his arms and put them on the back of the sofa behind him, raised Erlang's legs, trembling and trembling, his face was full of arrogant expressions, and he looked at Qin Muchu with his nostrils and said:

"Now, don't say that Master Xing doesn't take care of you, take care of it."

He took out a hundred-yuan bill from his jacket pocket, waved it to Qin Muchu, and then ...... He slipped the money back into his pocket.

"Let you smell what a hundred dollar bills smell, don't be greedy, be content."

"Hahaha."

Qin Muchu looked at Zhou Xingxing and couldn't help laughing.

"What's laughing, what's funny, poof...... Hahaha. ”

As if it would be contagious, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing for a while, Qin Muchu asked about Zhou Xingxing's recent situation:

"How's going on Hong Kong Island?"

After the release of "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingxing returned to Hong Kong Island.

Perhaps it was the Supreme Treasure that gave him confidence, and he wanted to see if he could recover Zixia.

Speaking of this, Zhou Xingxing's smile gradually stiffened on his face, and he shook his head lonely:

"That's it, she has someone who treats her well. I checked, the big boss, rich, and really good to her, very good. ”

"So...... You didn't ask her if she would like to get back together with you? ”

Qin Muchu heard some taste, and Zhou Xingxing's words seemed to retreat in a difficult way.

"It's enough, I can't turn it into a disturbance."

Seeing that Zhou Xingxing's mood was low, Qin Muchu also changed the topic:

"Tell me, what's the matter with the sudden coming of mine today?"

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Xingxing was shocked, took out a thick pile of documents from his bag, and handed them to Qin Muchu.

"Script?"

Qin Muchu recognized what it was the moment Zhou Xingxing took out the document, and the director was particularly sensitive to the script.

"Yes, I want to make a new movie, you can see it."

As soon as Qin Muchu got the script, he was a little disgusted:

"Is there a mistake, Master Xing, there are no names?"

"Don't be so superficial, you have to find the inner beauty through the outside, turn a page, and look inside first."

Zhou Xingxing said and turned the first page with his hands.

Qin Muchu pursed his lips:

"You just didn't have a name in mind, did you?"

"No, absolutely not."

"Shh

Qin Muchu shook his head, and did not compete with Zhou Xingxing, and looked at the script.

The first sentence of the opening chapter sums up the story.

A child with a dream of martial arts, he was bullied as a child, and when he grows up, he becomes a peerless master and serves justice.

Qin Muchu raised his eyebrows.

This story is somewhat familiar.

Background:

In the chaotic period of the last century, gangs were rampant, the police were weak and incompetent, and justice could not be served.

Xingzi was a thug who wanted to join the biggest gang force at the time, the Axe Gang......

Seeing this, Qin Muchu already knew what Zhou Xingxing was going to shoot.

But he continued to read the script, because often the final movie and the script are a little different.

He looked very seriously, word by word.

The background of the story and the general character introduction have been read, and it is time for the specific dialogue.

Xingzai: Blank

Master Hong Quan made a move.

Chartered public: Blank

Qin Muchu couldn't help it, pointed to the place where it should have been a line, but it was blank, and looked at Zhou Xingxing:

"Where's the lines?"

He grabbed Zhou Xingxing before he could speak and said:

"Don't say look at the plot first, the lines are not important."

Zhou Xingxing closed his mouth stupidly and said with an embarrassed smile:

"I haven't had time to write the lines yet...... However, it doesn't matter, the preparation of this movie is very troublesome, I have to build a big scene, and I have time to write the lines. ”

Saying that, Zhou Xingxing directly turned the script to the last page:

"Na, grandly introducing, this is my carefully designed, the main venue of the movie, the pigpen walled city!"

"Shhhh

When Qin Muchu saw Zhou Xingxing's picture of the pigcage walled city, he gasped.

With wide eyes, he took the script with trembling hands, and then slapped it on the table fiercely, pointed to the so-called "pigpen walled city map", and asked Stephen Chow:

"This horse is a pigpen walled city?"

The picture is scribbled, and countless chaotic horizontal, diagonal, and vertical lines converge together, as if a mad person scribbles on paper with a pen.

If Jiang Wen's manuscript stickman is minimalist, Zhou Xingxing is abstract...... The convulsions were pie.

"Why not?"

Zhou Xingxing leaned forward and pointed to an oblique line on the picture:

"This is the main column, you look at the one above, it's the beam, next to it is the room in the first row on the second floor, there is an aunt, and next door is ......"

Qin Muchu's eyeballs were about to pop out.

If there is anything more outrageous than the "Pigpen Walled City Map" drawn by Zhou Xingxing, it is that he really recognizes the picture he drawn.

This Nima is really a long insight.

"Look at this place again, there is a tailor ...... live"

Zhou Xingxing was still talking, but Qin Muchu interrupted:

"Isn't this the aunt who lives?"

"Auntie is here, I mean here next to Auntie."

Zhou Xingxing nodded at the drawings and frowned:

"Don't you interrupt whether it's good or not, it will affect my thinking very much."

“OK,OK。”

Qin Muchu raised his hand.

Made, not as big as a finger's tip, can have two rooms.

Except for Zhou Xingxing, it is estimated that no one will recognize it.

"This is the column on the third floor......"

"Isn't this the main pillar?"

Qin Muchu still couldn't hold back, because this time he was sure that this was definitely the main pillar.

He looked at Zhou Xingxing, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous.

"Yes, this is both the main pillar and the pillar on the third floor." Zhou Xingxing nodded.

"What about this one?"

Qin Muchu pointed to a horizontal line again.

"Walkway." Zhou Xingxing is very sure.

Qin Muchu smiled.

I just told Zhou Xingxing that it's the beam!

"Ah Xing, do you know that there is a punishment called dipping in the pig cage?"

"Chickens."

Zhou Xingxing pretended to look at Qin Muchu as if nothing had happened, and after finding that his smile was getting more and more terrifying, he instantly changed his expression begging for mercy:

"Boss, I was really good when I first painted, but I don't understand why I didn't know it after I finished drawing. You say, is it possible that a ghost is blindfolded? ”

"Listen to your."

Qin Muchu scolded, stood up and took a sip of water:

"Let's just say it, how much investment?"

"The big guy is really arrogant!"

Zhou Xingxing immediately came over and fanned Qin Muchu with his hand, very attentive, and said with a smile:

"It's not much, about 200 million is enough."

"I'll on you?"

Qin Muchu rolled his eyes.

Although Zhao Mingyu said that the company has more than a billion yuan, he did not say that there is now.

I haven't received a lot of money.

200 million, I can't take it out at the moment.

Zhou Xingxing pursed his lips, his expression struggling, as if he had gone through a struggle of thoughts:

"Okay, you must give it to me after ejaculating!"

(Tomorrow morning to reply, you have to go to bed early, it's this chapter today, sorry~)
