Chapter 397 Co-production
As a veteran driver who hangs out in Las Vegas all year round.

Nicolas Cage knew a lot of good places. After the massage, he took the initiative to find a place to have another drink and watch the hot girls dancing.

Suri actually wanted to have a long experience.

Mainly I want to broaden my horizons and increase my life experience, such as experiencing the feeling of stuffing dollar bills into my pocket, and having a lap dance.

It's a pity that as a public figure, if you go to a crowded place tonight, you may be on the headlines of major entertainment pages tomorrow morning, which will seriously damage your image.

As for Cage, the Oscar winner. Although he is also a public figure, he is no longer afraid of boiling water.

From a top actor with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, he has been reduced to a pauper who is being pressed for debt. He is even willing to take on bad movies in order to make money. What else do you care about?
Suri is different from Cage.

There is no need to destroy the reputation that has been in business for many years just to have some fun.

So after struggling for a few seconds, Suri not only chose to refuse, but also asked Cage to restrain himself a little. While the popularity accumulated in his early years has not completely dissipated, there is still a chance to turn around and turn around.

In fact, in addition to gambling debts, Nicolas Cage also owed a large loan due to a failed investment in real estate, with the total debt amounting to about US$3400 million.

The rumors from the outside world are not wrong.

He was actually on the verge of bankruptcy. If he hadn't been able to make money by taking on bad movies, he would have been sued by the bank for liquidation.

If it were anyone else's advice, Nicolas Cage might have disapproved of it, but when Suri said he still had a chance to turn around, he immediately believed it.

After all, Suri is full of "power" aura, and you can pull him out of the pit with just a pull.

This led to Cage thinking a lot on the way back to the hotel. He had experienced the harshness of the world and the warmth and warmth of human relationships, and particularly missed the charming and charming man back then.

The second day after arriving in Las Vegas.

The creditor behind Nicolas Cage personally visited Suri and asked if they could cooperate to provide some funds for Daju Film Company's projects.

Su Rui didn't want to interact with these guys, lest the source of funds was not clean and it would harm himself and the company, so he just used "not short of money" as an excuse to send them away.

As for Nicolas Cage, he offered to guest star in some dramas first and was introduced to the crew of "Criminal Minds" by Suri. There will be further discussions to see if he can star in "House of Cards".

With the resources Suri has at his disposal, even a random passerby on the street can become a famous star.

Netflix Entertainment has no shortage of new actors, but there are not many Oscar winners who are willing to act in online dramas, and even fewer are cost-effective.

Although Nicolas Cage has declined in recent years, his global influence is not bad and he is extremely well-known.

Therefore, spending 2000 million US dollars to sign 4 dramas was considered a huge profit in Suri's eyes, and he was happy to give him a hand.
It's just a small thing.

Across the ocean.

Penguin Group, which Su Rui invested in, suddenly contacted him and offered to cooperate with him to co-produce some movies and TV series, and to help its subsidiary Penguin Video open overseas markets.

Long before Suri spent a huge amount of money to buy 15% of the shares of Penguin Group, Penguin Video purchased the broadcast rights of several popular dramas from Netflix Entertainment, including "The Walking Dead", "The Vampire Diaries", "Prison Break", etc. wait.

Although some scenes have been cut and some places have been coded, at least it is still watchable and has achieved a very high number of views.

Around 2010.

Several Internet video companies are spending money like crazy to grab market share, and each one is more willing to spend than the other.When Suri learned about this from Amanda's secretary over the phone, Suri was a little surprised. After thinking about it, she felt that it seemed promising.

He has always been troubled by the high cost of attracting viewers for Netflix entertainment dramas, so he also spent money to buy online broadcast rights for some movies and TV dramas from Europe, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and other places.

If you place some projects outside the United States, you can not only make a big difference with a small amount, but also add some exotic flavor to the series.

The more contacts we have with the mainland, the more opportunities we have to try to introduce Daju Film Company’s works to the mainland for screening. Maybe the total global box office can be increased by another US$[-] million.

There is no problem with co-production, the problem is what should be filmed.

The cultural backgrounds of the two countries are quite different, so it is difficult to please the audience at the same time. In addition, the review of the dragon is so strict that it is difficult for Suri to think of popular projects worth learning from.

Until she returned to Beverly Hills, Suri was still thinking about what script to prepare.

Relatively speaking, the movie was easier to prepare for, but the TV series made him deeply confused. He had no clue for several days, and finally thought that when he was in doubt, he should ask Du Niang directly first.

Search the Internet to find dramas with relatively high ratings, such as the adaptation and remake of "Meteor Garden", which is very good.

There are also "My Love from the Star" and "Signal" which were originally written down in a notebook as alternatives.

As for "Squidward Games", don't expect it to pass the review in China. It's okay to set the story background in Southeast Asia. It is similar to "The Hunger Games" that Nicolas Cage wanted to film. They both fall into the genre of escape games, so it's easy to It became a hit on the Netflix entertainment platform.

Suri is still not satisfied with this.

I originally thought about looking for novels on the domestic Internet, and bought the copyright to adapt them. I didn't expect to read this, and I immediately fell into it. I read novels on my mobile phone day and night, and almost forgot what I was supposed to do.

Jiang Jiaya was already free, and Su Rui read novels all day, leaving her with nothing to do.

She originally wanted to criticize and see what books were so interesting, but she didn't expect that after being exposed to the theme of domineering presidents, she also fell into it.

As a Chinese American.

Jiang Jiaya's Chinese proficiency is far inferior to that of Su Rui, and she often comes to ask him what a certain word or sentence means.

When I encountered a sad place, I cried until my eyes were swollen.

So much so that Secretary Amanda began to suspect that there were some unknown stories happening between the two of them, so they stayed in the room all day long, the fire of gossip burning.

until July 4th.

Suri seemed to have been opened up to Ren and Du, and finally thought of a story suitable for filming with Penguin Video.

During breakfast, he was full of energy, spoke excitedly, and said with a smile:

"I didn't fall asleep until about two o'clock in the morning when I conceived the idea last night. I planned to use traditional Chinese culture to make a drama similar to "Tomb Raider" and add some fantasy colors cloaked in science."

"It's called finding the seal on a hill, touching the golden talisman, and moving mountains and ridges to find the dragon's secret. People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, and they survey and fight upside down to find star peaks. Let's call it "Candle" in English."

"It tells the story of a Chinese-American woman who hired someone to find a baby to cure a curse in China in the 80s. Her family has been cursed for generations. There is a pattern of eyes on her shoulders, and the blood will slowly turn into gold. If If you don't resolve it, you are destined not to live past 50 years old. You have to rely on Eastern metaphysics and go to ancient tombs to find the answer."
