"Bang, bullet shot," Melulan Dora elegantly gestured to a curve: "The current popular way to shoot in Hollywood is ......"

It's not a bullet, it's a curve.

As a professional, Su Changqing saw that she was struggling to describe it, so he took over the words: "I will use a high-speed camera to shoot the moment when the bullet is discharged, and the fireworks will burst, and then the camera will follow the bullet all the way until the blood splashes on the target, pop!"

"Yes, I took film-related courses in college and have always been interested in these. Melulan Dora continued: "Such a shot is only a few seconds and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. ”

God knows if she really took a film course in college, and Lao Mei is also a fool.

Su Changqing corrected: "As far as I know, the special effects of one second are at least 100,000 dollars, and a full shot needs hundreds of thousands." ”

Hollywood movies that dare to spend money on special effects usually cost tens of millions of dollars, and ordinary shots are converted to tens of thousands of dollars per second, and this kind of special effects is more than ten or twenty times more expensive.

At present, the investment of ordinary domestic films is between four and five hundred thousand US dollars, which is equivalent to the investment of special effects in a few seconds.

All directors often complain: "The money we make for a movie is gone." ”

Melulan Dora smiled and nodded, her gray-blue eyes were like autumn water: "Of course you can shoot without money, as soon as the gun goes off here, the person over there falls, and it can be completed for a few hundred yuan." ”

There are a lot of people who invite Su Changqing to dinner these days, and most of them want to talk about cooperation and investment, but they basically refuse.

Take a shovel to pan for gold, who wants to bring a few unrelated companions for no reason.

Yesterday, Melulan Dora also called to invite dinner, and Su Changqing didn't shirk it.

There must be something wrong with this golden retriever weasel, and we need to hear what she has to say.

David Landau revealed his intention to invest in a new film before, but Su Changqing didn't mention it again after changing the plot, so it should be seen that it is unlikely.

The global box office of "Taiping" adds up to about 55 million US dollars, which is very average in Hollywood.

However, given that the filming and advertising expenses of this film are only more than 4 million US dollars, the profit margin is more than ten times staggering.

If this is the case, then "Taiping" is the chicken that lays golden eggs.

Could it be that Paramount asked Melulan Dora to persuade Su Changqing to cooperate in the filming of "Moving Labyrinth"?

The oriental culture they understand is that officials come forward to do things well.

This possibility is probably very low, even if Su Changqing shows some talents, it will not make people salivate so much, and it is not that he has never seen money.

Today I had Western food, in a French-owned restaurant near the embassy.

Su Changqing remembered in a trance that the famous Beijing Hotel was actually opened by two French people at the earliest.

Melulan Dora wore a formal black low-cut evening dress, which fully demonstrated the nutritional level of the American imperialist people, so much so that Su Changqing felt that cheese was put in every dish.

After talking about the importance of capital and the market to the film, he talked about the splendor and profundity of Chinese culture.

Melulan Dora said she has traveled to many places and has many Chinese friends: "I have met people from all walks of life, journalists, writers, independent film directors, university professors, etc., all wise people who represent the future of this country. ”

Su Changqing can roughly understand what kind of goods these friends of hers are.

"I'm still learning ink painting and calligraphy, but I'm not at a high level. ”

Su Changqing was a little embarrassed, when he picked up the brush, he would only draw turtles and Wang Ba.

The two chatted quite speculatively, and finally got down to business when they served dessert: "I noticed that Director Su's new film has entered the final stage of preparation, and it is a story of a duel between Chinese, Japanese and Korean teenagers?"

If you describe the plot like this, the taste seems to have changed subtly.

Although the domestic official media did not report and publicize "Taipinghao" much, the successful box office results at home and abroad still attracted huge attention.

In this way, the next move of the creative team is naturally worth paying attention to, so 4D Film and Television learns from Hollywood's model and reveals the information of the new film little by little, which can be regarded as an early warm-up.

However, looking at Melulan Dora's appearance, it is clear that she is not talking about the fragmentary information in the newspaper.

Su Changqing thought of David Landau.

I talked to him about the plot a few days ago, and given that the two deceived Paramount together on the copyright issue of "I Really Don't Want to Sit on Tantanic", Su Changqing was not very wary of this person, not to mention that the script had registered the copyright, and the conversation was only about a general framework.

Su Changqing took a sip of coffee: "Do you have anything to say?"

Melulan Dora looked at Su Changqing and nodded slowly: "Please don't be surprised, our mutual Hollywood friend asked me to remind you not to make movies with anti-American themes." ”

Su Changqing smiled dumbly: "David Landau smelled anti-American from my plot?"

"It's not funny," Melulan Dora really didn't laugh: "I'm not talking to you about this today as a diplomat, but from the standpoint of a friend, I want to remind you that foreign films with anti-American themes can't enter American theaters." ”

"That's what David Landau is worried about?"

Of course, he is a businessman, and of course he doesn't want the products of his partners to be unable to enter the U.S. market because they can't pass the relevant congressional review committee. ”

The ending of "Moving Labyrinth" is that Wu Whale finally broke out of the maze with the few remaining people, and found that all this was like "Truman's World", just a reality show of real knife and real shooting.

All of them were erased from their personal memories, and then they were used to stir up emotions and hatred, and then to kill each other.

Everything is captured by cameras hidden in various places in the labyrinth and then broadcast live to the world.

Such a plot is undoubtedly very reminiscent of the East Asian monster house, where the three nations all have the world's leading level of force, because historical issues, practical conflicts and the intervention of foreign forces have never been able to reach a reconciliation, and whenever the dawn unfolds, someone will secretly provoke it.

"Mei Lan, you think too much, David Landau's doubts are unreasonable, this is just a youthful movie, co-starring Chinese, Japanese and Korean actors, it is a market consideration. ”

It is impossible for Su Changqing to change the setting for their concerns, and he has no intention of emphasizing what kind of position, so there is no need to argue with the beautiful girl in front of him.

"If it's for the sake of diversifying for the market, why refuse to add white or black actors, and wouldn't it take care of more market demand by joining in?"

Look at how tight the string is, and if there is a little trouble, they will come forward to deal with it.

David Landau, this kid, whether it's for business interests or because he has this obligation himself, it's not right to nag behind his back, and he has to give him some color when he has the opportunity.

Su Changqing smiled sincerely: "It's all commercial considerations, I can't afford to invite big names in Hollywood, next time, when I make a sequel, I will definitely invite these people you said." ”

He didn't plan to make a sequel to "Moving Maze", so he happily finished his meal first, maybe he could go to her house for a cup of coffee?

Melulan Dora apparently didn't quite believe him, the man was obviously not as sensible as one of her Chinese friends, but she couldn't say anything more.

After the meal, the coffee was not drunk, let alone the coffee companion.

When he came back, Ximenxiong told Su Changqing: "Hu Ji went abroad and went to France to find her mother." ”

Su Changqing was surprised: "Did you go abroad? Looking for her mother? Isn't her mother dead?"

Ximenxiong was also surprised: "Who said that her mother died? Her mother went abroad after the divorce, and I didn't hear that she died." ”

It seems that everyone has secrets, and her mother is not dead at all, but why did she resign and go abroad without saying a word?

Hu Ji's savings are all in Su Changqing's, plus the investment income is almost 20 million, and the account has not yet been settled.

When he took other people's money, he clearly said that he would invest in new movies, and Hu Ji obviously avoided these without saying goodbye.

In this way, it is even more impossible to pretend to be stupid with a ledger.

"When will you be back?"

"I don't know, but her mother has been living in France for ten years. ”

"Is there a way to get in touch?"

"Didn't get contact information. ”

Hu Ji has a strange and cold personality, God knows what kind of fame this is.

Su Changqing owes a lot of money to others and has become a heart disease, her father is a diplomat, and I am afraid that he will not dare to collect this money for her.

Du Keke shook his head and sighed: "A girl gave you all the money, but she didn't understand what people were thinking. ”

Su Changqing was upset, and said angrily: "Didn't you also take out all the money when we founded the fourth dimension, do you want me to be responsible for you?"

Du Keke was a little embarrassed for a moment.

The Hu Ji people are gone, and there is no point in dismantling anything now, so I can only find a way to find her later.

After the labyrinth was built, some plants were transplanted around it, and a large number of moss spores were sprayed on the wooden walls, which will be mottled like old things in the spring.

The film crew was the original crew, and filming was scheduled to start on March 6, 1996 before the Lunar New Year.

Last year, "Taiping" also started filming on this day, which was Su Changqing's birthday.
