At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 545

Circle cultures are essentially the same, all rely on relationships...

Of course, it's not so obvious right now.

Because it is the continuous explosion of technology, which provides new cakes and opportunities for newcomers.

Later, all walks of life were sluggish, and the old people felt unfulfilled when they grabbed the cake, and the newcomers couldn't get the cake, so what should we do?
Some powerful people push their juniors to the top!

For example, Maya Hawke - his father is Ethan Hawke, his mother is Uma Thurman, his debut is the new BBC version of "Little Women", the movie is "Human Capital" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", and he also played in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Stranger Things…

For example, Lucas Hedges, the prince of Boston, directly matches the resources: "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Manchester by the Sea", "Three Billboards", "Moonrise Kingdom", "Miss Bird"...

In addition, although Hollywood rose around World War I, it was almost after the fall of Big Brother that it truly became cultural hegemony. In addition, artists married late, and it was almost the time when the second generation grew up...

Therefore, there have been a lot of second-generations in the past two years!
In fact, when Joseph Blake recommended Blake Lively, Shen Xudong had already decided to cast her in "The Fault in Our Stars".

Blake Lively's acting skills are not bad, he has a background, and he fits the archetype in the story.

Most importantly, she is quite popular now - "Summer of Jeans" has become famous, and the audiences of these two films overlap!
Just wanted to meet Amanda Seyfried…

After all, she is one of the four little female roles!

When we met, I felt really beautiful...

Not tall either.

Tongyan Juru?

Anyway, Shen Xudong likes it very much, and has an urge to impart oriental art experience!

Simply put together "Happy Death Day" and let her play the lead actress, um, work will start at the same time as "The Fault in Our Stars"...

"Happy Death Day" is a school horror flick - the story of college student Terri reliving her own murdered day in search of the real killer...

By the way, Zhang Hanyun or Zhao Liying can play roommates...

Let's say the cost is $3600 million...

One more 3…

Anyway, Shen Xudong's second private equity fund received 10 billion funds!
Of course, it is impossible to give a play just because he appreciates her beauty, and he is not a fan of Amanda Seyfried, the main thing is to promote the art exchange between East and West, explore...

The latter readily agreed.

Joseph Drake doesn't care... just doing two shows at the same time!

A standard B-grade film like "Happy Death Day" can be finished in about 20 days, and it will be released in September or October...

Two or three weeks between Ghost Story and Ghost Story will do.

As for "The Fault in Our Stars", it is estimated to be released in December. By the way, Blake Lively was chosen as the heroine, and Eddie Redmayne was chosen as the actor. It was purely auditioned, and the acting skills are excellent...

In addition, I must explain that Shen Xudong did not intend to discuss art with Blake Lively...

But she herself has a will.

Then... how can I refuse?

Giving people an eel is Shen Xudong's good character all along. Art is something that needs to be communicated!

George Bernard Shaw once said, "You have an apple, I have an apple, we exchange, each person is still an apple; you have an idea, I have an idea, we exchange, each person has two ideas!" '

You have your own art, and I also have art experience. Only by communicating with each other can we be more harmonious and art can be refined...

Please call him an art disseminator from the East.

……

The North American box office of "Juno" ended up being 1.43 million US dollars, and the overseas box office was almost 9000 million US dollars, with a total of 2.3 million US dollars worldwide...

After the release, Shen Xudong received 3200 million US dollars in the first theater distribution...

15% of the distribution fee of Tama, and the publicity investment is 800 million U.S. dollars...

Joseph Drake takes 10%...

That's good enough, though, and with the $20 million it sold to 4500th Century Fox, it's $7700 million.

— pure profit!

Afterwards, the TV copyright, home entertainment copyright, DVD copyright and so on, it is estimated that they can collect another 4000 million...

Well, a movie directly earned back the first investment fund of [-] million yuan!

This private equity fund is counted for three years, and the interest is 15% per year...

It's a pity that Shen Xudong doesn't understand finance-the financial crisis next year will be a good opportunity to buy the bottom!
Also, Marvel Film and Television is not easy to enter the game.

——Marvel has always been a mainstream commercial film in North America. He discussed the acquisition of Marvel with Joseph Drake. It is impossible, not only impossible, but it is even difficult to acquire several IPs...

The price paid far exceeded expectations, so I simply changed my mind.Thinking about buying the rights to adapt The Walking Dead...

It's also very difficult. Robert Kirkman, the author of "The Walking Dead", is the screenwriter, and he contributed to the original version of "The Walking Dead"!

This is a knowledgeable person, of course it can be won, but the price is a bit high...

Forget it, "Twilight" is pretty good, and Shen Xudong formed a new company with Joseph Drake and a Jason Blum - Wonderful Studio...

The literal translation is 'wonderful studio'.

Temporarily cooperating with Lionsgate, "Ghost Story", "Human Purge Project", "Happy Death Day" including "The Fault in Our Stars"...

Wait for Wan Ziren's two movies to fail, and then earn him a job...

If you take it off, you won't have to worry about it for at least the next ten years.

……

At the airport, Shen Xudong received a call from Chen Xi, she said that neither Zhang Hanyun nor Zhao Liying knew English...

"...Nonsense, did Zhang Ziyi learn English very well at the beginning? Learn it! You arrange a teacher for her... "Happy Death Day" is a medium-budget school horror movie with a very funny plot...It can be made into batches and released in the mainland..."

"What kind of popularity do you want? Apart from Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, and Yang Ziqiong, who are Chinese actresses famous overseas? Of course, this kind of drama is our own..."

"Who's going? You decide for yourself. You've decided. Hurry up and get her familiar with the lines and the plot, and then take her to Chicago..."

"Nonsense, the movie was shot in Chicago..."

Then Chen Xi mentioned a name - Liu Yifei...

Shen Xudong was speechless: "... Liu Yifei? How does this have anything to do with Liu Yifei?"

"I met her mother, and her mother said that Liu Yifei can be considered to sign with our company, on condition that she provides Hollywood resources..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You know that she is going to cooperate with Hua Yi in "Double J Project" soon, right?"

Of course Chen Xi knew, and sarcastically said: "Jackie Chan and Li Lianlian cooperated for the first time, who cares about her... I don't think this is a good idea!"

"A $8000 million production...My mother thinks it's a good idea, and Hua Yi has made it clear that she has feelings for her, so let's cut it off now..."

Chen Xi immediately asked back: "Is it not possible? There are regulations that Hua Yi is optimistic about, so we can't do it?"

"...Did you take gunpowder? So rushed?"

"I'm just upset... Regardless of market value or international influence, we have surpassed Huayi. Why do people still think that Huayi is better than us..."

Shen Xudong was delighted: "After all, he is ten years earlier than us...don't worry, take your time..."

"Then Liu Yifei?"

"...I don't think the second female lead of "Happy Death Day" can impress her mother... This is a low-budget movie, the selling point is the plot..."

"Small cost?"

"Well...less than 2000 million dollars in cost, of course, I said it was 3000 million dollars..."

Chen Xi... shut up.
