Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 630 The Rich People's Solution to Problems
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Li Liangjie exclaimed: "I'm going, 1 fast screens, this is too much, if you add Suo Li's 30.00 yuan, it will account for [-]% of the country gone."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "So, film production companies will be very popular in the future."

Wu Jin said again: "The problem is that the top ten film production companies have all become shareholders of Suoli Cinemas, which is a huge threat to you. If there are cinemas without resources, they will just lose money! "

"It's not a big deal!" Zhang Xiao shook his head and said, "It's impossible for them to be self-sufficient, and they have to rely on other theaters to jointly distribute to meet the market demand. The real key is that the top ten production companies are too confused Yes, they handed over the publishing rights to Suo Li, if Suo Li wants to do something in the future, it will be too simple."

Yu Qiandao: "Distribution rights are like bullets, allowing Suo Li to play wherever he wants. In the future, if other theaters want to show movies, won't it depend on Suo Li's face?"

Wu Jin frowned, and said, "Then what should we do? Zhang Xiao, why don't you form an alliance too!"

"No need!" Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it when Suo Li is doing something, and there is no rush now."

Li Liangjie still said worriedly: "People without long-term considerations must have short-term worries. I worry that by the time Suo Li makes a move, it will be too late!"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Suo Li used low-interest loans to buy the film distribution rights of major companies. If it goes too far, we can directly help these companies pay back the money, and the distribution rights will naturally come back." gone."

When everyone heard it, they suddenly realized.

As expected of a rich man, the way to solve the problem is different.

As long as it can be solved with money, it's not a problem.

In the following time, Yang Mi began to work hard on the construction of Qingtian Cinemas. According to the previous plan, Qingtian would build [-] cinemas, each with ten theaters.

Since they are all built according to the highest specifications, the overall cost, which was originally 30 billion U.S. dollars, will now increase to at least 40 billion U.S. dollars.

And now the Department of Culture has given Qingtian Entertainment an additional 5000 yuan for the screen, which gives Yang Mi more room to choose, and at the same time the cost has also increased by 20 billion US dollars.

Of course, this amount of money is nothing to Zhang Xiao, who is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

As for Zhang Xiao, after filming the domestic version of "Twelve Angry Men", it only took three days to complete the editing and post-production of the entire film. The English version of Angry Man was sent to the actors who wanted to cooperate.

Good guy, the actors Zhang Xiao chose are all Oscar winners, Xiao Lizi, Rami Malek, Gary Oldman, Kasha Fillek, Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Christie Amber, Heath Ledger and other big stars.

After these people got the English version of "Twelve Angry Men", they were extremely pleasantly surprised. Except for the fact that there were two stars who couldn't find a schedule, everyone else agreed.

According to the normal social status, these people's salary is more than 1000 million US dollars, and actors like Xiao Nizi whose popularity and acting skills are proportional to more than 3000 million US dollars, but Zhang Xiao only gave them a quarter of their film salary .

The main reason is that the filming cycle of this film is too short, it can be completed in a week at most, and it is very good to give them a quarter of the film salary.

Although Zhang Xiao's operation of suppressing film remuneration has aroused strong dissatisfaction among many agents, but the artist can't bear the fact that the artist likes this script, and can play on the same stage with other actor-level stars, the agent can only accept it helplessly. this reality.

After resting at home for a week, Zhang Xiao boarded the flight to Hollywood.

After he arrived in Hollywood, Chen Li had been waiting for him here long ago.

In the car, Chen Li looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Mr. Zhang, the nominations for the various Oscar awards came out this morning, and it is estimated that they will be announced in the evening."

Zhang Xiao asked very calmly: "How many nominations has "Forrest Gump" received?"

"What do you think?" Chen Li asked with interest.

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, and said: "The four major awards of Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Film should be fine. I can't say anything about the others."

Chen Li said with a smile: "You are too humble. Besides, there are Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound Editing, Best Drama Seven awards including the soundtrack."

Zhang Xiao was taken aback, and said, "That is to say, "Forrest Gump" has been shortlisted for a total of eleven awards?"

"Yes!" Chen Li nodded.

Zhang Xiao said lightly: "Well, it's not bad!"

When he was on Earth, the movie "Forrest Gump" received a total of [-] nominations. Zhang Xiao thought that the level of director was much higher than that of the one on Earth, but he did not expect that the nominated awards were even worse than the one on Earth. This made Zhang Xiao a little depressed.

However, this also proves from the side that the film development level of this world is indeed higher than that of the earth.

Seeing Zhang Xiao's expression, Chen Li counted speechlessly: "Eleven nominations are already the highest probability of Oscar in the past 20 years, and you only got one good evaluation from you. You win."

Zhang Xiaodao: "This shows that I am very confident in "Forrest Gump". By the way, when will the Oscars show be a superstar?"

Chen Li calculated, and said: "March 22, there are still twelve days from now."

"That's good!" Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Have you found the set for "Twelve Angry Men"? Are the rest of the crew in place?"

Chen Li nodded, and said: "The crew set up the set three days ago according to your wishes, and all departments have arrived, and even a few actors have arrived, and the rest will be ready before the press conference tomorrow afternoon." Come."

"That's good!" Zhang Xiao nodded, and said, "During this period, is there any movement between Suo Li and Viacom?"

Chen Li said: "In addition to the massive construction of theaters, Suo Li also bought a TV station and shot four TV series and eight movies in one go, which should be the stock of the previous Columbia company."

"Wiacom has also made great moves. It has made drastic reforms to Paramount. All important positions have been replaced. There are nine films in preparation, one of which is "The Wind and Rain" by the director of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. !"

Zhang Xiao was taken aback when he heard this, and then it sounded that among the Huaguo directors in Hollywood, it was not Ang Lee but Wu Yusen who did the best job. Hollywood can be said to be in a mess.

Director Li's shooting style is delicate, while John Woo's is three big scenes and violent aesthetics, so the latter is more liked by investors.

But Zhang Xiao clearly remembers that Wu Yusen on earth encountered Waterloo when he was filming this "Storm" in Hollywood. The investment was 1.2 million US dollars, but the box office was only more than 7000 million US dollars. Box office poison.

Later, John Woo directed another movie, but it still failed at the box office. So far, his trip to Hollywood has come to an end, and he has to return to domestic real estate exhibitions.
