Chapter 1681 Film and Television Layout Continuation
No matter what the agent said, Li Li did not explain on the phone. There are a lot of people here, and it’s easy for a bald person to say it out. If someone with a heart hears it, they don’t know how they will pass it on!
The contract has not been signed yet, but Guo Tailai just said hello, and the whole world has been shouting before even writing the horoscope. This is not the first time that Li Li has been competing for a role. This kind of thing doesn't need to be reminded at all.
Although the fat man said hello himself, this matter must have been settled, but isn't it still finalized? Maybe I really don't like the script? Let's not talk about it first, even if we say it, we will say it when we return to the company or when there are only a few cronies. In the public, there are too many people talking nonsense, even if the shadow queen is killed, she won't talk nonsense.
Guo Tai came here to say hello to Li Li, and then called Mr. Han.
"Uncle Han! It's me, Fatty!" If you talk to Mr. Han, you can't get straight to the point. You have to be polite, and you can talk nonsense for ten yuan before you can get down to business: "Shenxing's box office. Do you know here? That’s good, I’ll wait for the issuing company to settle the settlement, and we’ll share the spoils right away.”
"Hey, fat man! How are you talking?" Boss Han was also in a good mood, and laughed and cursed at Guo Tailai's words: "What do you mean by dividing the spoils? We are not robbing houses!"
...
After a series of pleasantries, Guo Tailai finally got to the point: "That's right, Uncle Han, we have already approved the project for James' next film and are planning to start working on it. Uncle Han, are you interested in continuing to invest?"
"Oh?" Mr. Han immediately became interested when he heard it: "What type of new film is it, and how much is the total investment? Who has been selected as the main creative staff?"
"Well, it's science fiction!" Guo Tailai replied one by one: "The total investment is initially set at 500 million, and it may be increased to 600 million in the future. In addition to the director and producer, for the time being, I have only invited Li Li from China. Sister, let’s see if I can be the first female lead or the second female lead. The male lead has not yet been decided, but the second male lead and the third male lead can be selected from within the country. If Uncle Han has any suitable candidates, he can definitely recommend them.”
Hiss, hearing the figures of 500 million and 600 million, Mr. Han took a deep breath! Guo Tai came to find James as a director, so it is impossible to invest in RMB, right? That must be dollars! For a movie worth between 500 million and 600 million US dollars, I am afraid that only Guo Tailai has the courage. The total domestic box office of last year, the year before last and the three years of this year may not even be 500 million US dollars, and this is just the investment of a movie.
Regarding the matter of actors, Boss Han is an expert. When Guo Tailai opened his mouth, he immediately understood what it meant. This is to give him merit and favor, and Guo Tailai is not in that kind of charity posture at all. Here, he yelled at each other, treating himself as a junior, and gave Mr. Han enough face. How can he carry it again?
"Fatty, you, Uncle Han, I accept your affection." Boss Han stopped playing the clichés in the officialdom, and said very straightforwardly: "How much opening can you make on your investment quota, how much investment is allowed, Uncle Han, I will invest as much as I want. Uncle Han won’t say much about the male actors. In the future, you can say hello to the domestic film and television industry, and I will take care of it for you.”
"Uncle Han, this time the investment is big and the risks are high, are you not afraid of problems with the investment?" Guo Tailai asked with a smile.
"Fatty, you dare to invest 500 million U.S. dollars, what am I afraid of?" Mr. Han replied with a smile: "Besides, the return on investment of the last "Shen Xing" was amazing. The new film lost money, so I took it as a miracle that I didn’t make any money, and walked around with the funds to learn about the Hollywood film industry process.”
Director Triumph followed James to learn the control of big scenes last time. After returning to China last year, he started to build the crew of "The Promise". Mr. Han also saw the footage shot by Director Kaixuan, which was really refreshing. It was the right time to go abroad to study before.
This time, there is not only an investment opportunity, but also a quota for an actor, which is a surprise! It's a pity that the actress was given to Li Li, but he shouldn't be too dissatisfied, Mr. Han knew that Li Li was also one of Guo Tailai's earliest clients. Think about how profitable it is to be a client of Guo Tailai! The former Arita Fei was recommended by Guo Tailai as a guest on MJ's world tour. Then there is Li Li, the lead actress in a big movie with an investment of 500 million US dollars. Oh! By the way, there is another one, the coal boss investor, who also invested in "Shen Xing" and made a lot of money.
"Success, then it's settled." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "This time, I will leave an investment of 20 million US dollars for your side, and I have to share the rest with the Hollywood Seven."
"Okay!" Boss Han didn't argue much. What Guo Tailai said here is simply 20 million US dollars, but it can be converted into RMB to more than 100 million. No matter how powerful Mr. Han is, if he invests more than 100 million yuan in foreign films, one-sixth of the domestic box office last year, such a large number, I am afraid that many meetings will be held to coordinate, and there will be great risks. .
With Mr. Han's help, there is no need to worry about the development of Taihua Cinemas in the future. Artisan Entertainment's films will also have a natural advantage in introducing domestic films. It's hard to see now, but when the Marvel universe starts to start, the various benefits will be great.
After contacting Mr. Han, Guo Tailai did not forget to call the investor Lao Wang. Lao Wang has been very popular recently. He is one of the investors of "Shen Xing". In the gatherings in the circle, he is the focus of every place he goes. He has called Guo Tailai to thank him more than once.
"Can you still invest?" Upon hearing Guo Tailai's words, Old Wang immediately made a decision without saying a word: "Then the money earned by Shenxing will be invested together with the capital, okay?"
"Sorry, Uncle Wang." However, Guo Tailai did not agree this time: "The investment amount is limited, and for the sake of risk control, it is still 10 million US dollars, no more."
"That's 10 million!" Lao Wang is his own money, and it's much easier to spend than Mr. Han's. He immediately made a decision without even thinking about it: "In a few days, we will stay in your hotel for a few days. Nursing."
After contacting several major contacts in the film and television industry, Guo Tailai put down the phone and began to nurse David with peace of mind.
Li Li is still filming variety shows here, but her manager can't help but chase after her, wanting to know the reason why she turned down her job for the next year. Li Li didn't say anything at the shooting scene. She didn't mention Guo Tailai's invitation until she got back to her residence in a nanny car with only her agent and assistants around her.
"A special effects movie with an investment of 500 million US dollars, the work of director James, invite you to be the first or second female?" The agent's performance was worse than when Li Li first heard the news. She was directly stunned by the news, and the assistant also It didn't get any better, my mind went blank, sitting opposite the actress, the two of them kept a dumbfounded expression in unison, and didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, the two of them seemed to have regained their composure, and saw the actress looking at them with a smile.
"Are you sober? When you are sober, please contact me with a spoken English teacher."
