Chapter 967 You Lickers (Ask for Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
Chapter 968 You lickers (asking for guaranteed monthly tickets)
Hao Yun and Chen Kaige chatted casually for a few words, and then saw Yu Dong, Wang Zhonglei, and several people from Yinghuang, Guangxian, Huanya and other companies coming over.
Hao Yun knew the intentions of these people.
They are all here to collect debts!
"Has our boss Hao finished his work? There is another show over there. Don't be partial to one over the other." Yu Dong said with a smile.
"I'll go over there later and chat with Uncle Chen." Hao Yun smiled.
"Director Chen, borrow Hao Yun first, and I'll come back and give it back to you later!" Yu Dong took Hao Yun away.
Others think Chen Kaige is a super director and a master of movies.
In fact, in the eyes of these capitalists, they are all fucking money-making tools. They support you because you are valuable only when you are supported by a big director, and only when you are valuable can you make money for them.
Chen Kaige has proved with "The Promise" and "Mei Lanfang" that he is not a director who can make money at all.
This kind of director is simply a waste.
Yu Dong was polite, but he didn't mean to stay while pulling Hao Yun.
I don't know what Chen Kaige was thinking - maybe he realized that he was not liked by the capital, and now seeing so many capitals, he wanted to get close to them, so he followed behind.
It seems that he also wants to participate.
Unfortunately, before he could take a few steps, someone immediately pulled him to talk about movies at the instruction of Yu Dong, and when he looked up again, the whole group disappeared.
Hao Yun was pulled by Yu Dong to leave the club, and also left those young and beautiful girls.
A group of people got on several cars and soon arrived at a small place that seemed more upscale.
Yang Kuideng was already waiting there.
Facing such a former black knife boss, Hao Yun didn't think there was anything to be afraid of.
In the past, the entertainment circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan were very chaotic, and they would imprison celebrities or force them to shoot movies with guns. Tony Leung Ka Fai, Liu Furong, etc. were all victims.
When Stephen Chow filmed "The King of Comedy", several waves of young and dangerous people collected protection fees.
But now it's different.
The Black Society is not as rampant as before, and imprisoning Hao Yun is no small matter.
"Boss Yang, it's rare to see you. Thank you for providing the venue today." Hao Yun shook hands with the other party, and the two sat together, and others also sat down.
"You come here with great difficulty, you must have a drink."
Knowing that Hao Yun doesn't like casual women, otherwise Yang Kuideng would definitely help him call a few celebrities to come and play together.
Hao Yun pointed to the menu and ordered dishes.
He could even choose a concubine on the spot.
"One cup, just one cup, eat some dishes, and a bowl of rice, I'm really hungry!"
Hao Yun picked up the wine bottle and poured two glasses, clinked them with Yang Kuideng and drank them all.
"Frank!" Yang Kuideng admired Hao Yun's calmness the most.
He felt that he was not treated as an outsider, and quickly ordered the kitchen to bring up the prepared things.
"There's no way, I landed during the day, and a lot of things need to be dealt with," Hao Yun snapped his fingers, and someone immediately came with a briefcase.
It looks a bit like a Black Society transaction.
The goods are here, but where's the money?
"What is this?" Yang Kuideng was a little excited.
He could participate in very few of Hao Yun's projects, probably because of his dirty background, and they were a little shy about him.
At most, they would occasionally give him some money because of their friendship when they worked together on "The World's Number One".
But since we were in his territory today, he would definitely give him more face.
"Some projects that can be brought out now, let's see if anyone is interested." Hao Yun knew what these people were here for, but he didn't put on too high a posture.
"Look, look!" Yu Dong rubbed his hands.
Now, even if Hao Yun's shit was pooped, he felt it was fragrant, and he had to taste it.
"There is only a story outline. I can't calculate the specific investment amount for a while, so let's go by percentage. Everyone, find "The Martian". This movie is a Hollywood production. Paramount gets 20%, my FC Films gets 40%, and the remaining 40% can be divided among you. I don't know the specific investment, but it should not be less than 100 million... dollars."
The first thing he said was a big bomb. The big guys at the scene have all seen the world, but they were shocked and speechless at this time.
100 million US dollars!
682 million RMB!
You went to Hollywood and didn't learn anything except big productions, right?
And this is still a starting point of 100 million US dollars. Who knows how much it will be in the end.
Maybe it will be 1 billion RMB directly.
I heard that Zhang Yimou is planning a super production with a goal of 1 billion.
Everyone thinks he is crazy.
But Zhang Yimou is still in the planning stage, and he hasn't even started yet.
Hao Yun has even prepared the script and will shoot it next year. Now he is starting to attract investment.
The people who were eager to try it out began to doubt for the first time whether Hao Yun was still the right partner.
Hao Yun did not persuade him.
A forced melon is not sweet.
He observed the reactions of the people while eating the food that Yang Kuideng had people give him.
This is not a proper place to eat, but the food provided is not bad at all, after all, you get what you pay for.
Cold goose meat, ginger duck, peanut pork trotter stew, three cup chicken, preserved radish eggs, steamed sand shrimp, oyster omelet, and stir-fried squid are all famous local delicacies.
Among them, stir-fried squid has never been eaten by Hao Yun before.
However, with his level of chef, he knew at a glance that this thing is made of squid, fungus, bamboo shoots, etc. as the main ingredients, supplemented with shacha sauce, pepper and other seasonings.
The master chef is very good, the soup of the dish is very delicious, and it tastes excellent.
It is especially good when eaten with rice.
"How is it, is our Taiwanese food delicious?" Yang Kuideng was still in the mood to chat with Hao Yun.
"It's pretty good, but it's a pity that it's too troublesome to come here. It would be great if I could eat it often in the future." Hao Yun sighed.
It's just across a province, but I still have to apply for a pass.
He ate very quickly, and he had finished eating before the few people over there had discussed any results.
"Even if it's 1 billion yuan, 40% is only 400 million, not much money, where is everyone's courage."
Yang Kuideng laughed and mocked these colleagues.
The main reason is that the blockbuster that Hao Yun took out was too big, otherwise he, Yang Kuideng, would have waved his hand and bought the remaining 40%.
400 million, no one dared to buy it all.
Even Huayi, who had already gone public, didn't dare to do so, because there was no such cash flow, and the risk was too great.
As for "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff", that didn't matter.
"After all, it's not a small amount, so it's normal for everyone to be cautious." Hao Yun helped everyone out.
But the attitude was there.
You kept saying that I would not take you to play when I went to Hollywood, but you followed me.
The opportunity was given to you, but you are useless!
"This can't be your biggest project, and you are giving us a blow right away."
Huayi's Wang Zhonglei was furious.
He and his brother recalled how they offended Hao Yun, and Hao Yun's attitude towards them was much worse than before.
The answer might be to reject "Let the Bullets Fly".
And the attitude was too contemptuous at the time, which also gave other investors a bad guide.
The result was that the "Let the Bullets Fly" project failed to attract investment, and 50% was taken by Hao Yun's Black Bean Media and Anhao Film and Television alone.
"There is another one, adapted from a short story written by Canadian writer Yann Martel. It will cost about $120-150 million to make. I plan to shoot this movie in 2011 or 2012."
Hao Yun did want to give them a warning, but the purpose was not personal revenge.
Auntie Hua thought he was her lifelong enemy, but he really didn't take Auntie Hua seriously. His goal was the stars and the sea, the global film market, and to push Chinese films and filmmakers into the global market.
Everyone was not fighting at the same level at all.
"Alas, we are sitting in a well and looking at the sky," Yu Dong sighed. He patted the table and said, "You must follow us. 40% of 1 billion is only 400 million. There are so many of us to share. In fact, it's not much. Let's take 4% each. We, Bernard, will take 4% first. If no one else takes action, then we will take another 4%."
"That's not the point!" Wang Zhonglei was a little furious.
Is this a question of whether you can afford to invest? This is a question of how much money you can make from a billion investment.
You bootlickers, seeing that Hao Yun has made several profitable movies, don’t you need to think about how to make back your investment?
“The point is that our boss said that he must follow, so we Guangxian will take 8%!” The people on Guangxian’s side were not polite at all. They were not on good terms with Bona and Huayi, and all three wanted to compete for the second place.
As for who is the first, there is no doubt at all.
“This is too much. Do you have any sense of public morality? I didn’t take 8%, thinking that everyone should be treated equally, you...then we, Bona, will also take 8%!” Yu Dong originally wanted to show his gentlemanly demeanor and see the wind direction by the way, but he didn’t expect Guangxian’s people to be so reckless.
In fact, he also doubted whether Hao Yun could make back his capital.
With a cost of 1 billion, it would take 3 billion box office to make back the investment.
Does Hao Yun really have the ability to make a Hollywood movie worth more than 500 million US dollars?
It is important to make a good movie, but distribution is also important.
I heard that FC Pictures and Heidou Media are involved in the distribution link. I really don’t know if they will mess up such a big plate.
"I'll get 8% too!" Yang Kuideng said hurriedly.
Fuck, these people are so fucking crazy. They're not accompanying their girlfriends to sell bags, but they're actually competing with each other.
"We'll get 8% from China Film!"
"The rest will go to Yinghuang. Thank you!"
Bernard, Guangxian, Yang Kuideng, Yinghuang, and China Film each got 8%, which instantly made up for the gap in "The Martian".
"Next one, "Split", I will direct and act in this movie myself. It's about split personality. It's 10 million US dollars. I'll keep 50%, and you can decide the remaining 50%."
"Will An Xiaoxi act?" Yu Dong asked hurriedly.
This question is very critical. If Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi act together, no matter whether everyone will be confused or aesthetically fatigued after watching too many of their collaborative works, they have never disappointed people in terms of box office.
"An Xiaoxi, she shouldn't act." Hao Yun laughed.
She's pregnant. Even if she gives birth, she must rest. How could Hao Yun bear to let her get into work too quickly?
Even if I recover, I still have to shoot "Summer and Love" first.
