Chapter 487: Picking Up Money
Gu Siwei had just arrived at the office and was looking at the company's reports during this time, when suddenly the office door was pushed open.
"You're finally here".
Yu Wei rushed directly into the office, and he was still smiling, and the joy on his face was about to overflow.
Gu Siwei looked up and saw his happy appearance, waved his hand at Guan Youpeng and Huang Jiasheng, and motioned for the two of them to go out first.
Waiting for the two to leave the office, Gu Siwei walked out from behind his office and sat down on the sofa in the reception area.
Yu Wei said impatiently: "Do you know? ”
Gu Siwei said: "What do I know? ”
Gu Si really didn't know what Yu Wei was happy about, but after a while, what could make Yu Wei so happy was definitely not his own thing, it must be related to the movie.
"The results of the new film are good?" Gu Siwei then asked.
Yu Wei said: "The results of the release are good, but there are no big surprises."
The comedy kung fu film starring Cheng Gangsheng, Hong Jinbao and Zhang Lin has been released in Hong Kong, and the results can't be said to be good, but it's not bad.
The most important thing is not the actors, but the publicity of the old friend company, since being tapped by Gu Siwei, Yu Wei seems to have opened the key to the new world, and he dares to do anything for the sake of the movie blockbuster.
Let's just say that it is a new film, before the release, I copied the relationship between Zhang Lin and a certain film and television boss, and even the news that a rookie actress was slapped on the street by her original partner appeared in a third-rate small newspaper. The film and television boss didn't get involved with Gu Siwei, listening to the newspaper report, how did he look like he had the shadow of a certain sixth uncle.
Then he copied Cheng Gangsheng and the rich woman.
In short, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, almost every day a new movie has to appear in the newspaper, either in the gossip section or in other sections, in short, as long as you have a little culture, you can see the news of this movie.
It doesn't matter if you don't have culture, there are now movie posters in small fruit supermarkets and small convenience stores all over Hong Kong City.
It can be said that a movie has invested more than one million, and the cost of publicity has almost reached one million.
"It's good" Gu Siwei is very satisfied with being good, he is not Hong Kong Film Pass here, he can name every Hong Kong film that is a big hit, and even many actors in the peak era of Hong Kong films He doesn't know, it's a bit too much to talk about gold fingers.
can be good, don't lose money, Gu Siwei is quite satisfied with Wei.
Yu Wei is not as good as the results of the three newcomers now, and it is very good for the newcomers, but for Yu Wei, who has self-requirements, this achievement is just over the passing line.
When a person treats a thing as a business, he will have high requirements for himself, Yu Wei is like this, although he is a combination of officials and rich people, like a gentleman, it is true, but don't forget, he has received a far better education than others, and his vision and the world he has seen are not comparable to ordinary children, not to mention the relationship he brings because of blood.
So Yu Wei is full of energy to make movies, there are still a few brushes, judging from the few movies he has cast, not to mention how much he earns, but they are all making money, which is actually a bit of a heifer riding a wire - the cow coin hangs lightning.
However, at this moment, Yu Wei obviously did not say this.
Seeing Gu Siwei's calm face, Yu Wei said: "The investment in the United States has been completed."
"Huh?"
Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, but quickly figured out that the new movie of Lucas, the wronged boss in his hand, seemed to be selling well.
"Oh, the movie hasn't been released yet, has it? What is the box office? Gu Siwei asked.
Yu Wei sold the guanzi, stilted Erlang's legs complacently, took out a cigar from his pocket, and smiled at Gu Siwei: "Guess what! ”
After speaking, Yu Wei took out the cigar tong, cut the cigar with a click, then took out the lighter, took out a wooden stick and lit the article first, and roasted it close to the cigar, looking at Gu Siwei proudly while roasting.
Gu Siwei didn't care about Yu Wei's coin loading behavior, he is now thinking about what the box office of "American Style Painting" is.
"Thirty million?"
Gu Siwei said the maximum number he could think of.
An investment of one million, now there is a box office of 30 million, that must be earned, not only to make but also to make a big profit, although it is said that the cost of distribution and so on will be removed, but there is a box office of 30 million, this investment is definitely a big profit, and Gu Siwei can get at least 2 million here.
Who knew that Yu Wei shook his head here, and directly threw a sentence to Gu Siwei: "Go up!" Be bold! ”
As he spoke, the old boy took a puff of his cigarette and spit in the direction of Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei stretched out his hand to drive away the smoke, and then said, "Fifty million? ”
50 million, that's a big surprise, about 4 million profits, almost half of the investment in "Star Wars".
"Hmmm! Keep guessing"
Who knew that Yu Wei continued to wave his hand: "Be bolder!" ”
Gu Siwei said: "It won't be 70 million, right?" ”
Yu Wei laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha! ”
"Huh?"
At this time, Gu Siwei's heart can only be described as blooming with heart, and he said in his heart: Lucas, the great injustice, is really powerful!
"Eighty-seven million, close to ninety million! Universal has decided to release it in Europe, and our old friend is also in charge of the Hong Kong market and the two markets on the Bay Island......" Yu Wei was excited.
"Close to 90 million at this time?"
Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, this kind of achievement is no longer something he can think of, you must know that an investment of one million, in exchange for a box office of 90 million, that is a hundredfold return, although it is said that it has to be released, and the theater takes a part, such as the "American Painting" theater is 50%, that is to say, 90 million theaters will share 45 million.
The remaining 45 million will be divided by the production, distribution and other stakeholders, so according to Gu Siwei's investment, it can almost be divided into about 10 million US dollars.
Because Gu Siwei's Legendary Pictures also participated in part of the distribution, Gu Siwei+Legendary Pictures' final income may be between 12 million and 13 million.
This also means that the income of the old friend company will be about five million dollars, and the investment of 100,000 dollars will get a net income of five million dollars, how can you say that Yu Wei is not happy!
This almost immediately raised the coin of the old friend film company by a few notches, invested in Hollywood, and the company that made a lot of money was not enough for Weiniu coin?
It's just that Gu Siwei doesn't know it yet, and his happiness is still to come, because the box office of "American Style Painting" in the United States has reached 115 million, not counting the overseas income, the income of the pure American market is so much.
And at this time, Gu Siwei made additional investments to make the quality of the movie better, and Lucas also had more money to decorate the movie.
So a lot of the goofs have been modified, for example, John Milner's classic car now has the correct license plate.
When Kurt was about to board the plane, one of the plane's engines had already started, which was obviously not true, and the engine would certainly not have started when the passengers boarded.
And so a lot of goofs have been restored, of course, there are still goofs, this is a movie, not a documentary, and it is impossible to do everything in California in the early sixties.
But even with goofs, "American Painting" is still an outstanding movie.
Let's put it this way, if it weren't for the success of "American Painting", Fox would not have had the guts to throw 10 million dollars at Lucas for the "Star Wars" gamble of the century!
It's a pity that Lao Gu doesn't know anything, he hasn't even heard of this movie, and he doesn't know that because of this movie, Lucas has the courage to fight in Hollywood, and he has won "Star Wars" to become a godhead.
From this point of view, "American Style Painting" is the first step in the creation of Lucas's godhead.
"So you broke into my office out of nowhere?" Gu Siwei glanced at Yu Wei.
Although he was extremely happy in his heart, Gu Siwei felt that he couldn't let Lao Yu load all the coins, and he had to play on his side, and suddenly put thousands of beautiful knives into his pocket, originally Lao Gu felt that he went to the United States to spill money, who would have thought that the spilled money came back, not only back, but also filled his pocket again.
In other words, it is equivalent to Lucas using his own movie to sell "Star Wars" to Gu Siwei.
You said that Gu Siwei's happiness cannot be several times higher than that of Lao Yu.
As for whether Universal will play tricks or something, Gu Siwei has long been prepared, if Universal still wants to play yin for himself, then Gu Siwei will have to copy the legal weapon, at this time, Lao Mei is not as shameless as later generations, and can still maintain superficial justice in law.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be nonsense to be a beacon of justice in front of Su Damao.
"I said it, be calm!" Gu Siwei glanced up at Yu Wei.
Yu Wei saw through the coin of Gu Siwei's outfit at a glance: "You just pretend, I don't believe you can be unhappy?" I did a preliminary calculation, this time our old friend's income should be between $6 million and $6.5 million at the last overseas box office, and looking at the current market analysis, the final revenue of "American Painting" is likely to exceed $100 million......."
In the past few days, Yu Wei doesn't know how many times he has pressed the abacus beads, and he doesn't know how many times he has calculated, and how much his old friend can gain in "American Style Painting".
In short, every time he calculates, Yu Wei has to be happy for an hour.
For Yu Wei, Gu Siwei asked him to go to the United States and threw out 100,000 US dollars in production expenses, and in exchange for 6 million US dollars in income, this is a special business! What's the difference with picking up money?
To put it mildly, grabbing money is not so profitable.
