Chapter 381: A Profitable Method That Can Be Determined
The shock of the Australian native girl has not subsided.
Hideki Hanyu took her, Monica Bellucci, and the real estate agent who recommended Malibu Beach to him, and flew to Malibu by helicopter.
Located in southwest Los Angeles and adjacent to Beverly Hills, Malibu Beach is a favorite property area for future generations of Hollywood celebrities.
The 27-mile-long stretch of narrow beach also boasts a unique cliff formation.
Iron Man Tony Stark's fictional cliff mansion in the movie is based on a well-known building on the cliff face of Malibu Beach, "Razor House".
Under the guidance of the intermediary, Hideki Hanyu took a helicopter and traveled all the way to the Malibu area.
Malibu in 1986 was not officially established.
Except for a small Jewish ghetto.
As far as the eye can see, most of the land is pristine.
Lush jungle, long and beautiful beaches, only a small number of tourists play.
Look closely, there is even a crew filming.
In the middle of nowhere, there is no dwelling in sight.
Only in those prime locations in later generations can you see sporadic mansions.
After all, in later generations, Malibu Beach was almost occupied because the good lots were almost occupied, and developers began to develop properties in those cliff areas.
But the problem is, because of geology.
Many of the seemingly beautiful Malibu Beach cliff mansions have been plagued by cliff landslides.
After many mansions are built, they are uninhabitable due to safety hazards.
Fortunately, the house recommended by the real estate agent to Hideki Hanyu is located in a prime location with good terrain and environment.
The helicopter landed in a house surrounded by greenery.
Stepping off the plane, when Hanyu Hideki finished looking around the house, he frowned.
Surrounding the house is a dilapidated wrought iron fence.
It looks in disrepair, and it is obvious that no one has taken care of it for a long time.
And worse than the fence is actually the house.
Traditional European architecture, very beautifully designed, and heavily decorated with stone.
These are all materials that are not available locally.
It can be seen that when the original owner built this house, he must have spent a lot of thought and money.
But the problem is, as with the surrounding fence.
The house looks very old, and the walls, windowsills, and even the steps to the doorway are crawling with moss and other plants.
That old appearance made Hanyu Hideki not even interested in going into the house to take a look.
"Hideki, are you going to buy a house here? Looks terrible. β
At this time, the Australian native girl, who was finally in a calmer mood, looked at the old house with a disgusted face.
Hanyu Hideki hadn't spoken yet, and the real estate agent, who was afraid that his business would be affected, hurriedly defended.
"This house originally belonged to a wealthy Israeli businessman, and although it looks a little old on the outside, it is still good on the inside.
He went back to China a few years ago and never came back, and his children in Israel entrusted us with the sale of the house.
In fact, the surrounding land also belongs to him, but those children are still hesitant to sell, but I believe that as long as you are willing to bid, sir, they will not mind selling the land.
Please look at ...... sir"
The intermediary said, unfolding a map.
The approximate extent of the land is depicted above.
Hideki Hanyu wasn't interested in the interior of the house that the agent said was nice.
He definitely doesn't want to live in this kind of dilapidated house.
He was more interested in the surrounding land than in the house.
Looking at the range marked on the map, the land contains a large area of private sandy beaches.
But much more of the area is land along the coastline.
But even so, his wish to collect tickets in the prime location of Malibu in the future can be easily achieved.
After listening to the other party's introduction, Hanyu Hideki asked directly, "I'm not used to taking the initiative to bid for things, you can contact them, I intend to buy all their land, let them bid themselves." β
"I'll contact the seller right away." The real estate agent was beaming.
After all, he still prefers a high-roller like Hideki Hanyu to buy it piece by piece.
This may make less money, but for them as intermediaries, they can earn a lot of commissions in one go.
With that, Hideki Hanyu returned to the helicopter.
In heaven it is possible to buy the land in a circle.
Seeing that there are still a large number of undeveloped beach areas around this land, Hideki Hanyu immediately said to the real estate agent.
"Don't forget to contact me if the surrounding land is for sale."
"Okay!"
The real estate agent couldn't be happier.
He understands that Hideki Hanyu, the big boss, seems to be very interested in real estate and land investment.
It can develop into long-term customers.
It seems that if there is any real estate with a good location in the future, you can also try to recommend it to Hideki Hanyu.
Several people took a plane and quickly returned to their previous mansion.
After the real estate agent said goodbye.
Hideki Hanyu instructed Monica Bellucci, "Nicole is staying in a hotel with you for the time being, and when the formalities for this house are completed, let her live with you for a while, and then move out when the work is stable." β
Nicole Kidman had just arrived in Los Angeles, penniless, and without a job for a while.
He didn't want the other party to find a part-time job in a fast food restaurant in order to make a living.
Then find a remote house in the suburbs to rent.
After all, Hideki Hanyu is still counting on the other party to quickly adjust his "state" and not affect the filming of the movie.
Monica Bellucci heard the arrangement and nodded in agreement.
After all, now that Nicole Kidman is in a state of earth, "ball flower" is really not in her eyes.
She also saw that Hideki Hanyu had nothing to do with this local girl.
Hideki Hanyu followed up and said to Monica Bellucci.
"Contact Fred, help her find an acting training institution, and a place for skin care, and help her change."
In Hollywood, there is no shortage of acting schools.
Beverly Hills is also home to some of the best nursing facilities and cosmetic surgery hospitals in the world.
Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, the Australian native girl hurriedly said, "Hideki, thank you." β
Nicole Kidman also knew that Hideki Hanyu was helping her.
But there was no hypocritical refusal.
After all, with a pretentious character, he can't survive in the entertainment industry.
Although she is straightforward, it doesn't mean that she is stupid.
And those who are willing to enter the entertainment industry to develop their minds can never be described simply.
Hanyu Hideki's behavior of praising her famous, although Hanyu Hideki didn't say it, she also has to know how to be grateful and cherish.
I was also making up my mind that I must adjust my state according to Hanyu Hideki's request.
Hideki Hanyu said, "Okay, if you want to thank me, work hard and don't disappoint my expectations." β
Nicole Kidman said, "I will." β
Seeing that the other party knew the severity, Hanyu Hideki didn't say anything more.
He helps each other, just looks at each other and does it casually.
After all, his wealth and status have reached his level, and sometimes he doesn't need to care about "loss" or not when doing things, it all depends on his mood.
Now that I'm in a good mood, I'll help more.
If you're in a bad mood another day, maybe you won't be so enthusiastic.
ββ
After saying goodbye to the two women, Hideki Hanyu returns to the Hibiscus Garden.
As soon as they arrived, they learned from Liu Xiaoli that the agent in charge of the house next to them said that Harrison Ford would return to Los Angeles tomorrow.
I made an appointment to meet tomorrow in the house next door.
"Okay, I got it."
He wasn't interested in such a trivial thing as buying a house, but he was willing to see Harrison Ford for a look.
Then he called Fred and motioned for him to come with him tomorrow.
After listening to Hideki Hanyu's arrangement.
Zhou Wenqiong, the sister-in-law next to her, immediately came up curiously, "Brother-in-law, is the movie about to start shooting?" β
Although she has already decided, when her cousin is almost recovered, she will go back to Zhuying Studio to have a look.
But if she could participate in a Hollywood movie before, she still wanted to try it.
"Preparations have already begun, but if you want to start filming, it is estimated that it will take a while, don't worry."
Hideki Hanyu comforts his sister-in-law.
"Well, I thought I'd start filming right away after we talked about it." Zhou Wenqiong looked disappointed.
"With an investment of tens of millions of dollars, how can it be prepared so easily, filming will definitely start in the second half of the year, and it may be possible to do it early next year."
Hanyu Hideki said, looking at Zhou Wenqiong's bored face, and asked with a smile, "Is it a little boring to stay at home?" β
Zhou Wenqiong wanted to say yes, but looked at her cousin who was chatting with the family doctor next to her, shook her head and said, "No." β
"Lying in front of me."
Zhou Wenqiong's words were obviously involuntary.
A twenty-year-old girl, guarding her sister for seven or eight months, said that it must be false if she is not bored.
Although the hibiscus garden lacks nothing, there are maids to serve and private chefs to cook the food.
But after a long time, I will still get tired.
"Okay, when I went out today, I went to see a private beach by the way, and when I decided to buy it another day, I will take you to play in the water."
Hearing that Hideki Hanyu wanted to buy a private beach, Zhou Wenqiong immediately became interested.
"Private beach? Santa Monica Beach Beach? β
"Of course not, it's Malibu Beach."
Although Santa Monica Beach is not as large as Malibu Beach, it was developed earlier, with more mature facilities and more tourist attractions.
In this day and age, it's more popular than Malibu Beach.
People operate well, and there is an endless stream of tourists, how can it be easily sold.
"Okay, but I don't think Malibu is as pretty as Santa Monica Beach." β
"You little girl also picked it, if you like the beach, I still have a manor in Hawaii, and when your niece is born, I will arrange for you to go on vacation there, the beach over there is all white, very beautiful."
"Really?"
"I can't lie to you."
"That's great, hold on for another month, and I'm going to have a good trip to Hawaii."
When Zhou Wenqiong cheered.
Liu Xiaoli happened to come over and asked curiously, "You two are so happy, what are you talking about?" β
"My brother-in-law said that when my little niece was born, he would take me on vacation to Hawaii."
Hearing her cousin's words, Liu Xiaoli immediately took her man's hand and deliberately asked, "Just wait for Xiaoqiong to go, don't take me?" β
"Let's go, let's go."
Of course, Hanyu Hideki was full of promises.
But in his heart, he was thinking, of course he agreed to go on vacation, but after the other party gave birth, I don't know if the other party's mother would agree.
Hideki Hanyu has always been like this.
On matters of principle that do not involve him, he shows considerable magnanimity.
He has always been gentle and soft-spoken to women, and rarely loses his temper.
Because in his opinion, if there is a problem, it is useless to just yell and shout.
Losing your temper is not so much angry with others as it is angry with yourself.
It doesn't do anything positive except to make things worse.
Of course, this also depends on the situation.
When it comes to matters of his principles, he still doesn't yell at them.
But it's going to be worse than yelling.
For example, Liu Xiaoli, if she relies on the child in her belly, she wants Hanyu Hideki to give up others and love her alone.
Then she will see a Hanyu hideki that she has never seen before.
Hideki Hanyu will not plead and make the other party give up the idea.
They will not use threats or anger to discourage the other party.
Child, he will not give up.
But he will completely give up on Tianxian Mother.
It's as if the two didn't have a relationship.
What he hates the most is that someone tries to dictate his life without knowing how to take control.
interfere with his attitude towards feelings.
Anyone who says such a thing must be prepared to bear the price of the outcome.
Therefore, when looking at Hideki Hanyu, it is necessary to look at it from a different perspective.
Treat women, from a certain point of view.
He was very nice.
Far better than the vast majority of men.
He is not stingy with money, gentle and considerate, caring, respectful from the bottom of his heart, and never loses his temper.
But if you look at it from a different angle.
He has always been a scumbag who only has himself in his heart.
Those who are good on the surface are just for themselves to live more comfortably.
Or, to satisfy some of your desire to "play".
And once a woman crosses the bottom line he set.
Words that fail to provide him with emotional value and make him feel "troubled".
Then there will be no "love" in his heart.
So as long as a woman is "sensible", she will always only see the good of Hideki Hanyu.
But if he is not "sensible", Hideki Hanyu will not even give the other party a chance to regret it.
So, the kind of woman who relies on her gender or appearance advantage to want Hanyu Hideki to be a licking dog.
I couldn't stay with Hideki Hanyu for long.
And Tianxian Ma is obviously a "sensible" woman.
ββ
Spend the night in the hibiscus garden.
It's April 26th.
Just after lunch, the phone rang in Hibiscus Garden.
Zhou Wenqiong picked up the phone and said a few words, hung up the phone and said to Hanyu Hideki.
"Brother-in-law, the agent and the movie star have arrived."
"Got it."
Hanyu Hideki said and asked Liu Xiaoli, "Do you want to go and see it together?" β
Liu Xiaoli said, "Of course I want to go, after all, I bought it for our daughter." β
Hideki Hanyu turned to the Filipino maid Dunna and said, "Go and inform Mr. Fred first, and then ask the driver to drive the nanny car to the door." β
Fred had arrived at lunchtime.
As for driving.
Although the two suites are connected together, the distance between them is not short at all, and it is impossible to really let Tianxian Ma walk over.
Soon, with Chrysler's nanny car driving into the mansion next door.
Hanyu Hideki carefully helped Liu Xiaoli get out of the car.
Then he saw Harrison Ford, wearing a baseball cap, short sleeves and cargo pants, dressed as a tough guy.
The other party was chatting with a man in a suit in his thirties.
I guess it's the real estate agent that Hideki Hanyu has never seen.
And just when Hideki Hanyu saw Harrison Ford.
Harrison Ford also saw Hideki Hanyu.
His expression changed slightly.
The agent may not have known, but he recognized Hideki Hanyu.
Paramount Pictures produced a game cassette for Raiders of the Lost Ark last year and invited him to the platform to promote it.
After the end, I gave him a PS console by the way.
At first he didn't pay attention to it, but after playing it a few times, it was a lot of fun.
I have bought a lot of game cartridges one after another, and I am half a fan of console games.
I also gradually learned about some news in the game circle.
For example, I subscribed to the famous magazine "Game Base".
Knowing Genie Entertainment, I know a lot of news.
I also know this top game producer, the founder of Genie Entertainment.
Hideki Hanyu.
He didn't expect that it would be this super-rich man who wanted to buy his house.
"Mr. Hanyu, I'm Harrison Ford, and I'm very happy to meet you, but I didn't expect you to be the one who wanted to buy my house."
Harrison Ford took the initiative to greet Hideki Hanyu.
"Huh? Does Mr. Harrison know me? β
Hanyu Hideki didn't expect Harrison Ford to know him.
Harrison Ford replied with a smile, "I really like Mr. Hanyu's Super Mario Bros. β
Hideki Hanyu said, "I see, thank you Mr. Harrison for your support of Elf Entertainment." β
β¦β¦
The meeting between the two sides began in a fairly pleasant situation.
There's really not much to say about buying a house.
After all, for Harrison Ford, wanting to meet the buyers is nothing more than determining the strength of the transaction party.
Harrison Ford, who became famous in his thirties, is still relatively cautious in financial management.
However, as the conversation continued, Hideki Hanyu quickly talked about the invitation to "Working Girl".
Fred duly sent a revised second version of the script for Harrison Ford to see.
This time, the script was revised, and the main story was not changed.
It's just that the original thirty-year-old character of the heroine in the play has been changed to a college student who has just graduated.
This female workplace inspirational drama looks quite bloody twenty or thirty years later.
In today's era, it still looks quite avant-garde.
More or less, it is aimed at women's workplace issues and women's rights issues.
Harrison Ford was quite satisfied with the script.
However, as a famous actor, it is naturally impossible to take over this play just based on the script.
At this time, Fred named the other actors and directors.
Heard that Sigourney Weaver is going to play the female number two.
And Mike Nichols is interested in being a director.
Harrison Ford was undoubtedly more impressed.
However, he did not show his attitude, but asked a doubt in his heart.
"Why did the heroine Daisy invite a newcomer to play?"
Fred heard this and looked at his boss.
I thought to myself, the script was changed by the boss, and the heroine was set by the boss.
Next, boss, you look at the editor.
"I'll answer that."
Hideki Hanyu took the initiative to pick up the conversation and then began to explain.
"The reason why we want to use newcomers is entirely because of the needs of the characters and the plot.
In the play, the boss who wants to violate the heroine can be regarded as a traditional force of oppression of women in the workplace.
Sigourney Weaver's female number two is a woman who compromises with tradition.
If you want to break all this, it is impossible to rely on employees who have been smoothed out by society.
Only those young women who have just entered the society and entered the workplace have the courage to refuse harassment and break the old traditional characteristics.
And if I want to play such a role, I hope that the actor has a youthful temperament and a straightforward personality, rather than the sleek and sophisticated that has been cultivated after many years of ups and downs in Hollywood. β
Hideki Hanyu opened his mouth and said something that seemed reasonable, although it did not immediately convince Harrison Ford, but at least it made the other party partially agree with his idea.
"For the time being, I'm pretty happy with the script, but I hope you two will let me think about it."
Harrison Ford naturally couldn't say yes directly.
Although Hideki Hanyu is rich, Cloud Pictures is just an independent film company that has just emerged.
It's normal for Harrison Ford to have scruples.
And at this moment, Hideki Hanyu gave Fred a look.
Fred said immediately.
"Mr. Harrison, although Cloud Pictures is a newly established film company, you don't need to have any doubts about our strength, our parent company is Neon's largest film and television entertainment company.
With an investment budget of $20 million, the film is 100% unionized and everything will be made to the highest standards.
If you're willing to participate, we're willing to pay you $5 million. β
Five million dollars is already Harrison Ford's top salary.
Generally, even if it is a large studio, it will not be given easily.
Unless it's on a sequel movie like Raiders of the Lost Ark.
can easily make a fashion film and earn five million, Harrison Ford is very excited.
But he still held back, and said politely, "I'm very happy to get your approval, but you know the rules, I have to take the job through an agent." β
"We naturally understand this, and I hope Mr. Harrison will give us an answer as soon as possible."
"No problem, whatever I decide, I will definitely give an answer within three days."
After Harrison Ford finished speaking, he said goodbye to Hideki Hanyu and Fred.
Harrison Ford was seen driving away.
Hideki Hanyu asked Fred beside him, "Fred, do you think he will agree?" β
Fred replied honestly.
"I don't know, but CAA's agent is not easy to deal with, we are new players in Hollywood, and his agent will definitely take the opportunity to ask for a higher salary."
"It's best if we can solve it with money, how much is the maximum we can pay?"
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he found that Fred was embarrassed, and immediately emphasized, "The extra salary is not included in the original production budget." β
In Hanyu's view, salary is not a problem.
After all, according to the box office of this movie in his previous life, even if Harrison Ford's salary doubles, he can accept it.
But the problem is that sometimes giving too much money is bad rules.
It's not just neon studios and TV stations around the world that are deliberately suppressing actors' pay.
The same is true for Hollywood.
After all, it is easy for Hollywood actors' salaries to rise, but it is difficult to come down.
Murdoch offered Bruce Willis a $5 million salary in "Die Hard", which caused widespread dissatisfaction in the industry.
Hideki Hanyu dared to pay Harrison Ford tens of millions.
I'm afraid that Hollywood's big studios won't agree first.
Therefore, it seems cool to spend money, but it is not something that can be used casually.
Fred replied, "A million more dollars at most." β
Fred was a member of the Amerika Film & Television Producers Alliance when he was at the station.
Therefore, the rules in this regard are much clearer than Hanyu Hideki.
"So little?" Hideki Hanyu touched his chin.
And Hideki Hanyu's words made Fred speechless for a while.
A million dollars less?
With so much money in the independent film industry, you can make a movie.
In these days, millionaire is still a very bluffing title.
Fred can only explain.
"One million dollars, which means to help him raise the ceiling, as long as our film is successful, Harrison Ford will be able to shout six million in the next movie."
"I naturally know this, I just don't want to affect the company's plans because of a little money."
Hanyu Hideki said this, and instructed Fred, "If he agrees to six million, then of course it is best, if he doesn't agree, we can give him a share of the North American box office, and you can decide how much Fred is." β
"Okay."
Fred thought to himself that without increasing the salary, giving a share is undoubtedly the best choice.
Hanyu Hideki asked again at this time.
"Sigourney Weaver, and Mike Nichols, did they respond to the invitation?"
Fred replied, "Yes, there's nothing wrong with Sigourney Weaver, but Mike Nichols has made some requests." β
"What requirements?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
Fred replied, "He wants some of the creators to use the people he introduced." β
Hideki Hanyu nodded, "The director likes to use his own team, this is understandable, is there anything else?" β
"He wanted to shoot in New York, and the main office scene required filming in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center."
Fred's answer made Hanyu Hideki chuckle in his heart.
After all, the reputation of these two buildings will be well-known in later generations.
In one fell swoop, it became the world's first cruise missile of the Boeing 767.
But come to think of it, it was a long time before that happened.
Hanyu Hideki didn't say anything, "Yes, as long as the budget is enough, I will satisfy him." β
"In that case, I'll sign a contract with them, and I've actually inquired about Harrison Ford's work schedule, and if he agrees, with all the preparations completed, it's expected to start shooting in early September and finish in December."
"Another four months? That will be released until next year. β
Hideki Hanyu originally thought that coming to Hollywood would open up the situation quickly and achieve results.
But now it seems that we will have to wait until next year at the earliest.
"Boss, we have to wait for the actor's schedule."
"Well, I'll leave it to Fred."
Hideki Hanyu understands that it's useless to be anxious.
As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
No matter how rich he is, he can't break the objective law.
Seeing Liu Xiaoli with her cousin, she was still hanging out in the house she had just bought.
Hideki Hanyu remembered the script of "Die Hard" and asked about the progress.
Fred replied, "I've contacted Twentieth Century Fox, but I haven't answered yet, and the efficiency of that kind of big studio is the most worrying." β
"Ask again, I still like that one very much."
"I'll get back in touch right away."
β¦β¦
The two chatted for a while, and Fred took his leave and left.
At this time, Liu Xiaoli happened to walk out of the house with Zhou Wenqiong.
When the two came to Hanyu Hideki, Liu Xiaoli said reluctantly, "Do you really want to demolish this house, it looks good." β
The mansion that Harrison Ford sold them was a traditional European-style home in contrast to the avant-garde design of Hibiscus Garden.
Both the exterior and the interior design look quite luxurious and elegant.
Liu Xiaoli is still here for the first time, and after reading it, she is a little reluctant to dismantle it.
Hanyu Hideki pointed around, "The land of this house is actually bigger than the hibiscus garden, but this house takes up too much space, and if we don't tear it down, there will be no place to build the things we envisioned." β
"But ......" Liu Xiaoli was a little reluctant.
Hideki Hanyu said with a smile, "As the saying goes, if it is not broken, it will not stand, and we will not be able to live in so many rooms, and it is a waste to keep it." β
"What about the furniture?" Liu Xiaoli asked.
I have bought a house with a lot of furniture that looks good.
"The style of the furniture is completely inconsistent with the hibiscus garden, if you are reluctant to throw it away, you can find an intermediary to sell it and exchange it for some pocket money for your daughter."
Hideki Hanyu wasn't interested in moving a bunch of old furniture around.
"It seems that this is the only way to go."
Liu Xiaoli thought of demolishing millions of houses directly, and she was a little reluctant in her heart.
But she also understands that what Hanyu said makes sense.
After all, they didn't buy Harrison Ford's house to live in.
Harrison Ford's house after it was purchased.
Hideki Hanyu got another message from Monica Bellucci, saying that he had helped Nicole Kidman contact the acting training school, and the beauty center was also confirmed.
Hanyu Hideki didn't care too much about this, but just asked "Ball Flower" to tell the Australian girl that the movie is expected to start filming in September, so that the other party can prepare well, so he didn't care about it.
Next.
Hideki Hanyu continues to stay in the hibiscus garden to accompany the mother.
Soon another two days passed.
It's Monday, April 28th.
In the past two days, the sales of 'PokΓ©mon Fight' have come to an end for the time being, as all of America's stock card packs have been sold out.
However, with Michael Katz informing Hanyu today that the card pack produced in Singapore has arrived in America, all retailers have begun to stock it.
A new sales boom will begin again.
Those 'PokΓ©mon Fight' players who have been waiting for a long time can finally experience the thrill of opening the Krypton Gold card again.
But the good news doesn't stop there.
After repeated negotiations between Fred and Harrison Ford's agent.
With Harrison Ford confirming that Sigourney Weaver and Mike Nichols will also be on the project, the project has a good chance of success.
A preliminary actor contract was finalized.
As Fred guessed, Harrison Ford's agent opened his mouth to ask for a salary of $7 million on the grounds that Cloud Pictures had no Hollywood achievements.
This is Harrison Ford's salary in 1992 for "Patriot Games" after a series of successes in the 80s.
Fred though doesn't know what the future holds.
But as a mature producer, he naturally won't agree to such a bad salary.
He decisively gave Harrison Ford two options to his agent.
The first option, a $6 million salary, does not involve any sharing other than the terms of the Screen Actors Guild contract.
The second option, a $5 million salary, with all other conditions the same, but with an additional 2 percent of the North American box office share.
That is, let Harrison Ford bet that "Working Girl" will exceed $50 million at the box office in North America.
Eventually, Harrison Ford consulted with his agent and decided to take a gamble and decided on a second option.
After several leading actors and directors have been confirmed, although the film is still in preparation, although filming will have to wait for four months.
But as an experienced producer, Fred immediately began the pre-publicity work.
The first is to announce the film lineup and investment.
Starring Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, directed by Mike Nichols.
This Oscar-level combination is destined to be no less focused.
Plus $30 million in film investment.
Well...... Of course, the estimated publicity costs are combined.
The news about "Working Girl" immediately attracted a lot of media reports.
The name of Cloud Pictures has also begun to appear frequently in the eyes of Hollywood practitioners.
Some people deliberately inquired.
In addition, Hideki Hanyu has no intention of hiding it.
Behind Cloud Pictures is the neon media giant Cloud Entertainment, which was immediately known to many people.
After the appreciation of the yen, the real estate, finance, and entertainment industries of neon developed rapidly.
Neon Capital's presence around the world has been repeatedly enhanced.
Cloud Entertainment, a giant in the neon entertainment industry, has not directly acquired any major companies.
Instead, it acquired an independent film company that didn't even have the ability to distribute.
Then make a movie steadily.
Such a low-key and well-behaved approach.
And those neon "glamorous sluts" who shake a lot of bills and buy everywhere are simply not a style.
Many people were a little surprised.
However, a little bit of Hollywood was in the wind, and it quickly attracted the attention of neon natives.
Although it was only a company acquisition, it invested in the filming of a movie.
But there are still a lot of neon media that have begun to hype, and cloud entertainment is going to enter Hollywood.
At the same time, someone who has been paying close attention to cloud entertainment also noticed this news.
News Corp's President, Robert Murdoch.
Just in the twentieth century Fox dealt with the work of him, after seeing the relevant news.
Because he has not given up satellite TV on the cloud, he was immediately attracted by the news.
He called the head of Twentieth Century Fox.
"Contact the studio and tell them that Twentieth Century Fox is interested in the distribution rights to their new film." β
"Yes, Mr. Rupert."
After the person in charge finished speaking, he remembered an incident that his subordinates reported to him, and immediately reported it to Murdoch.
"In fact, before, this cloud film company also contacted us."
"For what?" Murdoch asked.
The person in charge replied, "They want to buy one of our copyright vaults." β
"What."
"The world is impermanent."
The words of the person in charge made Murdoch think, but after a moment, he really didn't remember the information about this one.
At this time, the person in charge introduced the situation to the boss in a timely manner.
"It was Rodrigo Thorpe, who bought the rights to the adaptation in 1966, when we were filming another of his ...... called Detectives"
Don't look at what the person in charge said so carefully, but in fact, he only learned about the news after listening to the reports of his subordinates.
After all, when he bought the rights, he hadn't joined Twentieth Century Fox.
As for after joining......
Who has nothing to do to understand a film that has been left in the copyright library for twenty years.
Heard is a sequel to a failed work.
It was also left unattended for twenty years.
Although Murdoch didn't care, he still consulted the person in charge.
"Do you think you should sell it?"
Naturally, the person in charge did not want to take responsibility, so he replied, "Under normal circumstances, we will not easily sell the adaptation rights of works. β
Murdoch heard this and tapped lightly on the table.
Moments later, the media mogul said to the person in charge.
"I don't really want to get into too much trouble with the owner of this film company, so you say a price that far exceeds the industry standard, so let them know the difficulties."
"When we bought the detective and this sequel, we spent a total of $350,000, and it makes sense to increase it 200 times in 20 years, so I think $7 million is a good price."
The person in charge smiled as he said this.
Seven million dollars.
Not to mention the price of the adaptation of the original book, except for Schwarzenegger and Stallone, no actor in the entire Hollywood can easily get this salary.
He said it fits perfectly.
But who in the industry doesn't know that this premium has overflowed the sky.
And when Murdoch heard this number, he also felt a little outrageous.
Hanyu Hideki can create today's career, how can he agree to such an offer to deceive a fool.
So he nodded and said, "That's the price." β
When the person in charge heard this, he wanted to agree.
But when the words came to his lips, he asked in a ghostly manner, "Mr. Rupert, what if the other party agrees to this price?" β
"Promise?"
Murdoch thought of the figure of seven million dollars.
With such a large sum of money, even if Cloud Pictures agreed, to some extent, Twentieth Century Fox would not be a loss.
The two films bought twenty years ago and one sold have multiplied two hundred times in twenty years.
This kind of return on investment ratio is much more profitable than making movies.
After all, investing in movies comes with taking risks.
Investing $50 million in movies may not make $7 million.
Thinking of this, Murdoch asked the person in charge, "If I give you this film and run a film project, are you sure that you will make a stable profit of seven million dollars?" β
Hearing the boss's question, the person in charge wanted to smack himself.
The boss agreed, he had nothing to ask.
In Hollywood, what producer would dare to pat himself on the chest and say that his project is 100% profitable.
Seven million dollars, not seventy dollars.
Of course, the person in charge did not dare to pack the ticket.
I could only answer in a different way, "Mr. Rupert, even if it is a sequel movie in Hollywood, there is no guarantee that it will be profitable." β
Murdoch didn't want to embarrass the person in charge.
The situation in Hollywood, he doesn't understand.
If the other party really pats his chest and assures that he will be profitable, Murdoch will be unhappy.
So Murdoch just said, "Since you can't be sure, choose a profitable method that you can determine." β
As soon as Murdoch said this, the person in charge immediately understood the meaning.
If you make a movie, no one can be sure that you will make seven million dollars.
If Cloud Pictures is really willing to pay $7 million to buy it.
Then they will make a profit that can be stabilized.
On the first day of work, I failed to touch the fish, and Mu Youjia changed.
There are also brothers who ask if the 30,000 collection is about to be a boutique, brother, don't ask this kind of heart-wrenching question, okay?
How impressive is the results of this book, let me put it this way, it is possible that it will not be able to go up the combat power list at any time, and the requirement for the combat power list is to chase three hundred in 48 hours, and even three hundred will be available soon

I don't like to pour bitter water, after all, everyone is here to have fun.
But don't prick my heart, I didn't even dare to log in to the backstage recently, I just didn't want to see the results, and then I couldn't hold on.
