Chapter 442 Parents Are Here

Chapter 442 Parents are here...

BJ, airport.

Shen Mingguang was reading a copy of "Southern People Weekly" while Shen's mother next to him held a copy of "The Beijing News"...

They were a little 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, wearing a black suit, standing on the windowsill, looking into the distance. The title is: Shen Xudong, the story manipulator!

It starts with Shen Xudong winning the Venice Best Screenplay Award, then quoting his original words, "I consider myself a good storyteller", and then introduces his first work "The Best in the World", slowly sorting it out, a total of more than 20,000 words , the first 12,000 words are the introduction, and the last 8,000 words are the interview!

'He likes Akira Kurosawa's "Heaven and Hell" and Kieslowski's "White." On his office bookshelf are Haruki Murakami, "The Director's Lesson", "Toad's Oil" and "Ten Years of Sleeping Movie Dreams" and books by those New Hollywood movie guys like Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. ’

‘He said he can’t be a director, but he must understand the director’s thinking and working habits! Because he’s a producer…’

‘He said he looked down on so-called independent films... He thought the quality of those films was very low, the sound was poor, and the subtitles were basically incomprehensible. Moreover, the genre is very single and the subject matter is very scarce. They lack the ability to interest the audience, 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, understand the world language of movies, and not rest on their laurels. The world is developing, and the audience’s aesthetics are also improving...’

Shen's mother has already read the "Beijing News", and there is nothing worthy of her concern. The only report about Shen Xudong is "Chen Kexin at a night party"...

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

“…It’s very long, what can I do?”

"Let me see…"

"I haven't finished reading it yet!"

"Read this newspaper!"

Shen Mingguang reluctantly handed over the "Southern People Weekly". At this time, Shen Xudong appeared, trotted over, took the suitcase, and then said: "I'm not late, am I?"

"...You're taking the time to pick up people?"

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

“…traffic in the capital is really worrying…”

Shen Xudong was convinced: "Tens of millions of people live in such a big place..."

"Have you changed cars again?"

"...I didn't change it!"

Shen Mingguang was anxious: "Then why did you drive a Lexus... Do you think your father doesn't understand cars? Weren't you an Audi before?"

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

"Do you have two dollars and you don't know why you are squeaking? Can't you drive the Audi A4?"

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

"How much?"

"More than 20 million..."

“…”

…

Shen Xudong is not talking nonsense. Gao Fenfen did give him 23 million last month...

Mainly the accounts of "The Aviator"...

Well, "The Aviator" made money...

This is a project independently produced by Shen Xudong, and the company split it 50-50 with him...

The overseas income of "The Aviator" is close to 9 million U.S. dollars. After tax, there is about 7 million U.S. dollars left. He split half of it, which is 3.5 million U.S. dollars. When converted into RMB, that is more than 20 million U.S. dollars!

Shen Xudong originally thought that if he took away more than 20 million yuan at once, the company's cash flow...

Gao Fenfen said it’s okay, there are plenty of investors!

Yes, the company is not short of money now. As soon as the project starts, a bunch of people give money...

More than 20 million, which seems like a lot, but still not enough to start up the Twilight Saga...

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

I want to make a big profit!

If you look at those in China who are searching for money, they can’t make much money. Look at “Fearless”, Li Lianlian made more than 30 million US dollars!

——Li Lianjie is an investor in "Fearless", with a global box office of more than 70 million US dollars. The copyright sold well, and Li Lianjie received 30% of the net income...

True answer: For Hollywood movies, box office revenue has actually been used to recover promotion fees. Many people do not care about this money at all. The net income depends on DVD copyright, pay TV copyright, free TV copyright...basically box office income. double…

Twilight definitely made more money!

Why not do famous American TV series like "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 their project, can you handle American TV stations? ?

The same goes for "The Walking Dead". The original work is a comic book and has been targeted by a lot of people for a long time. Who do you think you are, Shen Xudong, to win the right to adapt it?

You can only pick up some things that everyone doesn't like, and "Twilight" is the biggest bargain.

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

But he doesn't have any good ideas...

There are only things related to movies and TV series in my memory, nothing else at all!

So, I still have to wait. After "Carol" is released, I will be somewhat famous in Hollywood, so that I can better attract investment!

Compared with the cost of at least 40 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 cool, so he didn't buy it!

…

The courtyard is the first place you enter...

It means a yard!

Siheyuan is divided into several courtyards according to the depth from north to south. Those with one courtyard are the first courtyard, those with two courtyards are the second courtyard, 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.

That means more than 400 square meters!

The whole courtyard is composed of four houses, namely the main house, the east wing, the west wing and the reverse wing.

When re-decorating, two smaller houses were built on both sides of the main house and combined with the main house, they are the side rooms...

When he got home, Shen Xudong parked the car in the garage, opened the door, and praised: "My dad is really discerning. If this house is listed now, someone will definitely offer more than 10 million!"

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

"Dad, you say it yourself!"

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

Mother Shen rolled her eyes: "Where's the decoration?"

"...I spent 1.5 million..."

"And you?"

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

"Okay, your dad has vision!"

After his parents put down their luggage and walked around for a while, Shen Mingguang saw the furniture and couldn't help but ask: "These furniture?"

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

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

Shen Xudong stretched out two fingers...

"Two hundred thousand?"

"Two million... Look, these tables and chairs are all made from authentic huanghuali... I bought five tons of wood, and the master introduced by Teacher Wang Gang helped to build it!"

"…You are so rich!"

"It's antique...including these calligraphy and paintings are all handmade by famous artists!"

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

"I don't have much 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 are talking about He Shen?"

"Yeah…"

"He understands this?"

"Of course, that's all he's good at!"

"How did you meet him?"

Shen Xudong talked about the program "Treasure Appraisal", and while they were chatting, Shen's mother walked in: "What do you two want to eat tonight?"

After checking the time, Shen Xudong said: "What time is it? Let's go out to eat!"

"What to eat out...it's not healthy, I'll just make something..."

"Then let's eat healthy food..."

Shen Xudong was about to introduce some high-end restaurants when the doorbell rang. He was startled and ran to open the door. Then he saw Chen Xi carrying a bunch of gifts and... Chen Hao!

"Why are you two here?"
