At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 442 Parents Are Here...

BJ, the airport.

Shen Mingguang was flipping through a copy of "Southern People Weekly", and Shen's mother next to her was holding a copy of "The Beijing News"...

The two of them were a bit bored waiting, so they simply went to the airport bookstore and bought these...

The cover of this issue of "Southern People Weekly" is Shen Xudong, the photo of him wearing a black suit, standing on the window sill, looking into the distance. The title is: Shen Xudong, the manipulator of the story!
It starts with Shen Xudong winning the Venice Best Screenplay Award, and then quotes his original words, "I think I am a good storyteller", and then introduces his first work "No. , the first 2 words are introductions, and the last 1 words are interviews!

'He likes Akira Kurosawa's "Heaven and Hell", Kieslowski's "White", and the office bookshelf has Haruki Murakami, "Director's Homework", "Toad's Oil", "Ten Years of Movie Dream" Books with Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, and the new Hollywood movie guys. '

'He said that he can't be a director, but he must understand the director's thinking and work habits!Because he's the producer...'

'He said he doesn't like so-called independent films... He thinks the quality of those films is very low, the sound is poor, and the subtitles are basically incomprehensible.Moreover, the genre is very single, and the subject matter is very scarce. They lack the ability to make the audience interested, let alone achieve a reasonable connection with reality. '

He said that he suggested that directors learn from Wang Jiawei, visit more theaters around the world, learn about the world language of movies, and don't rest on their laurels.The world is developing, and the audience's aesthetics are also improving...'

Shen's mother has already looked through the "Beijing News", and there is nothing worthy of her concern. The report on Shen Xudong is just a "night party with Chen Kexin"...

She looked at Shen Mingguang: "...Why did you look at it for so long?"

"...it's long, what can I do?"

"Let me see…"

"I haven't finished watching yet!"

"Look at this newspaper!"

Shen Mingguang was very reluctant to hand over "Southern People Weekly". At this moment, Shen Xudong appeared, trotted over, took the suitcase, and said, "I'm not late, am I?"

"...you take the time to pick up people?"

"I was stuck in traffic for more than half an hour!"

"...The traffic in the capital is really worrying..."

Shen Xudong took it for granted: "It's such a big place, with tens of millions of people living there..."

"Did you switch cars again?"

"...No change!"

Shen Mingguang became anxious: "Then why do you drive a Lexus... Do you think your father doesn't understand cars? Didn't you use to be an Audi?"

Shen Xudong said casually: "Oh... I bought another car..."

"Do you have two dollars, and you don't know why? Then the Audi A4 can't be driven?"

"Dad, I got a dividend last month... I just want to buy a car to reward myself!"

"how much is it?"

"More than 2000 million..."

"... "

……

Shen Xudong is not talking nonsense, Gao Fenfen did give him 2300 million last month...

Mainly the account of "The Aviator"...

Well, The Aviator made money...

This is a project independently produced by Shen Xudong, and the company splits half with him...

The overseas income of "The Aviator" is close to 900 million U.S. dollars. After tax deduction, there is about 700 million U.S. dollars left. He splits half of it, which is 350 million U.S. dollars. Converted into RMB, that is more than 2000 million U.S. dollars!

Shen Xudong originally thought that he would take away nearly 2000 million at once, so the company's cash flow...

Gao Fenfen said it's okay, there are plenty of investors!
That's right, the company is not short of money now, once the project started, a bunch of people gave money...

More than 2000 million, looks like a lot, but still not enough for the start-up cost of "Twilight"...

Oh, and he's been thinking about The Twilight Saga lately.

Want to earn a big wave!
You can’t make a lot of money by picking and searching in China. Look at "Fearless", and Li Lianlian earned more than 3000 million US dollars!

——"Fearless" Li Lian is the investor, the global box office is more than 7000 million US dollars, the copyright is sold very well, and Li Lian gets [-]% of the net income...

I really answered a sentence: For Hollywood movies, the box office income has actually been used to recover promotional fees. Many people don’t look at this money at all. The net income depends on DVD copyrights, pay TV copyrights, and free TV copyrights...Basically, box office revenue double…

Twilight definitely earns more!
Why not do famous American dramas such as "The Big Bang Theory" or "The Walking Dead"?
Brother, the producer of "The Big Bang Theory" is Bill Brady, who is from the production team of "Two and a Half Men", not to mention what will happen if you steal his project, can you handle American TV stations? ?
The same goes for "The Walking Dead". The original is a manga, and it has long been targeted by a bunch of people. What are you, Shen Xudong, who won the right to adapt it?
Picking up leaks can only pick up some people who don't like it, and "Twilight" is the biggest bargain.

With such a treasure in his hands and no money to develop it, Shen Xudong is also anxious!

But he didn't have any good way...

There are only things related to film and television dramas in my memory, nothing else at all!
So, I still have to wait, after "Carol" is released, I will become a bit famous in Hollywood, so I can better attract investment!
Compared with the cost of at least 4000 million US dollars, buying a car is a piece of cake.

Therefore, Shen Xudong rewarded himself with a Lexus

In fact, he originally wanted to buy a Maserati... It felt too flamboyant, so he didn't buy it!

……

Siheyuan is a courtyard…

It means a yard!
According to the depth from north to south, the quadrangle courtyards have several courtyards. Those with one courtyard are the first courtyards, those with two courtyards are the second courtyards, and so on.Generally speaking, it takes more than 400 square meters to build the first courtyard, and more than 600 square meters to build the second courtyard.

In other words, more than 400 square meters!

The whole courtyard is composed of four buildings, namely the main building, the east wing room, the west wing room and the inverted seat room.

When redecorating, two smaller houses were built on both sides of the main house, and combined with the main house, it is the side room...

When he got home, Shen Xudong parked the car in the garage, then opened the door, and praised: "My dad is really discerning. Just this house, if it is put up now, someone will definitely ask for more than 1000 million yuan!"

"...how much did your dad spend?"

"Dad, tell yourself!"

Shen Mingguang chuckled: "It's less than 200 million!"

Shen's mother rolled her eyes: "What about the decoration?"

"...I spent 150 million..."

"What about you?"

Shen's mother asked Shen Xudong again, and the latter did some calculations: "I also spent a small 100 million...but overall I must have made money! It doubled in a year!"

"Okay, your dad has eyes!"

After his parents put down their luggage and wandered around, Shen Mingguang saw the furniture and couldn't help asking, "These furniture?"

"Teacher Wang Gang took me to change it, how about it?"

"...I don't understand either, just tell me the price!"

Shen Xudong stretched out two fingers...

"20?"

"200 million... You see, this table and chairs are made of authentic huanghuali... I bought five tons of wood, and the master introduced by Teacher Wang Gang helped build it!"

"...You are really rich!"

"It's antique...including these calligraphy and paintings are all famous masters!"

"...I know Qi Baishi..."

"I don't have any research, Teacher Wang Gang recommended it..."

Shen Mingguang had nothing to say about his son's generosity, so he changed the subject: "Is the Wang Gang you're talking about He Shen?"

"exactly…"

"He understands this?"

"Of course, he likes that!"

"How did you meet him?"

Shen Xudong talked about the program "Appraisal of Treasures". While chatting, Shen's mother walked in: "What do you two want to eat tonight?"

After looking at the time, Shen Xudong said: "What time is it, let's go out to eat!"

"What to eat when you go out...it's not healthy, I'll make something casually..."

"Then let's eat healthy..."

Shen Xudong was about to introduce some high-end restaurants when the doorbell rang. He was startled, and hurried over to open the door. Then he saw Chen Xi carrying a bunch of gifts and... Chen Hao!
"Why are you two here?"
