Ma Rao has no film to shoot now. Apart from challenging the company in front of him every day, he is full of mold every day. When he learned that Li Fanyu had acquired a film and television company in the United States and was preparing to produce a movie, he immediately flew over.
Then again, even he doesn’t have that much time. If Li Fanyu invested in a Hollywood movie and asked him to be the director, he would definitely not refuse.
Hollywood!
If a director can lead a movie here and achieve results, he will bring a lot to the table. It can be said that for domestic Chinese directors, being able to develop in Hollywood is something that no one can ask for.
Why do you say you can’t get anything you ask for?
The reason why Chinese directors are in this situation is actually quite helpless.
On the one hand, it is because of the language problem. When making a movie in Hollywood, it is natural to use actors from this circle. If your language skills are not up to par, it will be difficult to communicate with the actors, and it will be another problem to grasp the plot of the movie. This standard has eliminated many excellent Chinese directors.
For example, take Master Xing, can you say that his directing skills are not good? Definitely not!
But why has he never gone to Hollywood and only held a dispensable, honorary title in a third-rate movie "Dragon Ball"?
It's because of language reasons. If Mr. Sing makes a Cantonese or Chinese-language film, his control over the actor's sense of language and plot materials will definitely be top-notch. But if you switch to English, it may not work.
Why?
Because he doesn't understand American standards of humor.
This is one aspect.
On the other hand, there is the issue of capital.
To put it bluntly, Hollywood is still a film and television industry dominated by American capital. Even if Chinese capital is involved, the scale is generally small or does not dominate.
This type of capital pursues returns. They did not dare to risk the movie being sold out by hiring a Chinese director. At best, this kind of management just uses a few Chinese stars to make cameos in the movie in order to win the domestic box office.
But Li Fanyu is different, he is an anomaly.
Fundamentally speaking, he invested in movies to build a Zhengxin brand. And he who knows nothing is fearless, and he did not consider the complex environment of Hollywood at all.
Ma Raolai was naturally relaxed despite being anxious.
Seeing this guy coming over without even picking up a travel bag, Li Fanyu could tell that this guy was really interested in his proposal.
"Ha, boy! You are so versatile. I haven't seen you in the past few months and you have entered Hollywood!"
Giving Ma Rao a bear hug as a greeting, Li Fanyu grinned and said, "Hey, it's not just to promote the brand. Director Ma, you are quite light-hearted."
"Haha, I answered your call yesterday and went directly to the airport. Why, when I get to your territory, I have to bring my own toothbrush and towel?"
Li Fanyu patted him on the shoulder, "That's not possible, get in the car! Let me catch the wind for you!"
Ma Rao looked around and wondered: "Qingyu is not here?"
This statement immediately stunned Li Fanyu, "I haven't told her yet. I'm hoping to tell her after you arrive and I have complete arrangements for the first movie."
Ma Rao glanced at him with an enigmatic smile, "I thought I was the second one to know about this. I was on the phone with Qingyu some time ago, and she told me that the trip to Hollywood was aborted. It turns out that within a month, you bought a film and television production company. Do I have to come up with some stories here?"
"Ahem..." Li Fanyu blushed, "Get in the car and get in the car."
Li Fanyu’s acquisition of TSOI was actually entirely based on establishing the Zhengxin brand in the North American market. Ma Rao really wronged him in this matter. But after he decided to develop film and television, he immediately thought of Zhou Qingyu. This is true.
So he really couldn't argue with Ma Rao's implicit and explicit remarks.
......
After Li Fanyu came to the United States, he stayed in a hotel for nearly a month. Later, I realized that I couldn't leave for the time being, and the R&D personnel who came with me also needed a place to live, so I asked the company to rent an apartment building.
Leading Ma Rao upstairs, Li Fan quickly brought the washed dishes to the table.
This really made Ma Rao happy, "Hey, eating hot pot in the United States is so fresh and exciting!"
Li Fanyu spread his hands, "After staying here for more than two months, I almost vomited from eating junk food! This place doesn't even have a Chinese restaurant. I can only buy food and cook it myself." Don’t like food? If you don’t like food, let’s go out to eat.”
"No! The hot pot is very good!"
Ma Rao quickly stopped and stood up to help him put the vegetables and meat on the table. The two of them started at a small dining table.
On the phone before, Li Fanyu learned about his recent movements. But he is not in the automotive industry. He only knows that Li Fanyu has opened a branch in the United States. The specific details are unclear.
Dazed Li Fanyu talked about what happened in the United States in the past two months, and Ma Rao was so surprised that he couldn't even lift his chopsticks.
"You mean, in two months in the United States, you earned 200 million? US dollars?"
Li Fanyu shrugged, "You can't say that, all the money earned has been reinvested. But if we just talk about the profit from the sales part, it's about the same."
The F150 has been offline for 20 days, and so far the total sales have exceeded the 50,000 unit mark. Based on the average cost of a car of US$35,000, the operating income is approximately 1.7 billion.
Excluding the company's operating expenses such as labor and taxes, and the PCM sales share, the net profit is about 12% to 13%.
Without further investment in R&D, the company's profits would have reached US$200 million.
Even Ma Rao, who had seen big winds and waves, was stunned by the speed of making money.
Seeing that he couldn't close his mouth, Li Fanyu didn't dare to tell him about "TG". The show is now on the air. Not only is YouTube negotiating with Stewart about the copyright for the second episode, other countries are also eyeing this show and are negotiating with Stewart through various channels for overseas rights. If all these are counted, Li Fanyu can still earn 50 million.
Ma Rao never dreamed that Li Fanyu would accumulate such great strength in just two months in the United States.
What do you rely on to make movies?
The talent of the director, the sophistication of the script, and the famous acting skills of the actors. These are just software.
What is more important is the strength of the employer!
Let's put it this way, it's really for the purpose of making a good movie. There is no messing around in every aspect, and if the money is available, there is no reason why it can't be done.
Ma Rao was silent for a while, then came back to his senses and joked: "Oh, things are really unpredictable. At the beginning, I thought you were definitely someone who would achieve great things, but I didn't expect you to reach this level. This time it’s okay, I’m telling you, I’m unemployed this time, so I’m going to have to rely on you!”
Li Fanyu waved his hand, "That's not a problem! I've prepared the money, the script, and the production company. You're here, just go ahead and do it!"
"Script? What script?" Ma Rao was stunned. The management chooses the script by itself. This is new...
Li Fanyu smiled mysteriously, stood up, took out a stack of A4 paper from the bookshelf and photographed it on the dining table.
When Ma Rao picked it up and took a look, he saw a few big words on the front page of the script - "Extraordinary Human Trafficking".
