Rebirth of the Ultimate Rich Second Generation Chapter 720: Surprise!
? "Although this movie is good and the box office is good, after all, when it was released overseas, the results were mediocre. """ Lorraine shook his head.
Thinking about it, he continued to look down.
Soon, two movies quickly attracted his attention! !
""2012", "Detective Sherlock Holmes"?!" Lorraine was startled and fixed his gaze on the names of these two films!
What a joke, these two are two of the most memorable super commercial blockbusters of 2009! The first is a special effects blockbuster filmed as a gimmick for the 2012 end of the world predicted by Maya. It is a standard Hollywood production. Lorraine is very clear about the box office results of this movie in 2009!
And the other...The "Detective Sherlock Holmes" also brings together a lot of inevitable elements, Sherlock Holmes's detective charm, and Robert Downey Jr's super box office appeal!
Seeing this, Lorraine didn't think too much, so he raised the phone and called Wang Lei back without saying a word.
Soon, Wang Lei’s respectful voice came over the phone: "Hey, Luo Dong? What's your order?"
"Ms. Wang, regarding the funding of "2012" and "Detective Sherlock Holmes", we can try it, as long as it doesn't exceed the budget too much." Lorraine ordered.
Wang Lei was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he replied: “Dong Luo, I’m afraid this won’t work... To be honest, I asked about these two movies as soon as I got them, but they were bidding. Too much, it’s a bit late now..."
"It's a bit late?" Lorraine sighed helplessly, this was in his own expectation.
"But... Luo Dong, you see in the data sheet, there is a movie called "Dragon Ball: Evolution". This movie is adapted from the super popular Japanese anime, and there is a role of a mentor. Our Chinese superstar Mr. Zhou played, I feel...this film is suitable for our investment. I just asked about it. Now this film is continuing to bid for investment and sponsorship."
"Oh? "Dragon Ball: Evolution"?" Lorraine raised his brow.
But the next second he smiled helplessly.
If you don't have any memory of this movie, it would be nice. I guess I will order investment without hesitation. Because this movie has Mr. Zhou, a Chinese superstar, as the box office guarantee, at least it will be released in the Asian region, and it will still be good. In addition, it is adapted from a super popular comic in Asia. At least, it will not. At a loss. But...in fact, it was not the case. According to Lorraine's memory, the movie ended up losing out at the box office, and its reputation was extremely poor.
"I am not optimistic about this movie, Mr. Wang, what we need... is a movie that is shocking enough, at least a commercial blockbuster of the same level as "Detective Sherlock Holmes"." With that, Lorraine My eyes were not idle, and I continued to look down.
Finally, his eyes suddenly lit up!
This... is this? ? !
Lorraine had a helpless look on his face, but he suddenly cheered up!
"You read it right...this movie is called..."Pandora"??? Is this a coincidence?"
In Lorraine’s impression, there was a very shocking movie in the last life, a movie that caused a worldwide movie revolution! It's called... "God Goes Down to Earth", also called "Avatar"! And in that movie, the place where the story happened is [Pandora Planet]! Is this a coincidence?
Lorraine remembers deeply that this movie was only released in China in 2010, and it is only the beginning of 2009, and it will be released in another year. Is the name of the movie set different now because it has not been finalized yet? Think about it, too, there will be a year before it will be released, and there may be changes at any time.
What Lorraine didn't expect was that...this 3D production that later shocked the world's first high-investment 3D production also needed to seek overseas funding.
Thinking about it, Lorraine asked: "Mr. Wang, why doesn't this "Pandora Planet" have detailed remarks? It's just a movie title?"
Mr. Wang heard the words: "Oh, Luo Dong like this. This movie is expected to be released at the end of this year and early 2010. Before that, this movie had already begun to be filmed. Funding The cycle is too long, and the investment amount of many sponsors has been included. Although this may be a big production, the cycle is too long. I think we are not suitable for investing in this film. Therefore, regarding the detailed remarks of this film, The relevant departments did not take it seriously."
Lorraine shook his head when he heard the words, secretly saying that even the most wise decision-maker talent will make mistakes. If this movie is really the world’s first most expensive 3D production, then it’s not. Are you going to miss this rare opportunity?
"Hehe, Mr. Wang, sometimes, don't be confused by some phenomena and rumors on the surface. ——Within five minutes, I want the details of this "Pandora"."
"Yes! Luo Dong!"
Hang up the phone, Lorraine waited quietly, but in less than five minutes, the call came again.
"Hey, Luo Dong, the detailed information has been inquired. ——This movie is directed by James Cameron, the director of "Titanic". The plot is set, and it is about [Pan] The story of Dora Planet!..." Wang Lei said conscientiously.
But the following related information is not so important to Lorraine. The important thing is that he knows that this is the 3D movie directed by James Cameron! It was later "Avatar"!
"Mr. Wang, how much foreign investment is needed for this movie now?" Lorraine asked.
Mr. Wang was taken aback when he was asked. Since he didn't take the movie very seriously, he needed to check again. This time Lorraine’s call did not hang up. After waiting for a few more minutes, Wang Lei on the other side said again: "Dong Luo, I found it. The director of this film, James Cameron, has an approximate budget of 3. Starting with 100 million US dollars, it will be almost 400 million US dollars. It is said that he has now received an investment of 150 million US dollars, which is still 250 million US dollars from his total budget."
"Hehe, only $400 million is needed? That's not enough." Lorraine suddenly laughed when he heard the words. In his impression, the final total budget of this "Avatar" is as high as more than 500 million US dollars. Now James Cameron did not ask for too much budget investment, mainly because he did not dare to speak loudly for fear of scaring away all investors. In addition, the film is still being produced, and how much additional budget will be needed later, which is not currently expected by James.
"Dong Luo, what are you talking about?" I was shocked when I heard Lorraine saying that 400 million dollars is not enough. What does Mayor Luo Dong think? 400 million dollars is not enough? This is nearly 2.6 billion Chinese coins! If Mayor Luo Dong adds another 400 million US dollars to James Cameron’s movie, this would require almost 1.6 billion Chinese coins!
To invest about 1.6 billion yuan in a film at one go, this... Isn't this too generous?
Thinking of this, Wang Lei took a deep breath and asked: "Dong Luo...what do you mean? You mean...are we going to invest in this movie?"
Lorraine smiled: "Yes."
"Dong Luo...I'll be honest... The director of this film, James Cameron, is a special effects fanatic. He is also known as the'Budget Overspending King' in Hollywood. A movie is risky...If we invest too much money in one go..."
Without waiting for Wang Lei to finish, Lorraine smiled and said, "Hehe, isn't his "Titanic" the global box office history champion? As far as I know, director James Cameron is called At the same time as the'Budget Overspending King', he was also called the'King of the World'. Investing in him, I can rest assured."
"But... even if it is a film directed by the great director James, there is still a risk. If the box office of this movie is not good after it comes out, it will be a big loss..." Wang Lei wanted to say something, but Then he took a deep breath. Seeing that Lorraine didn't seem to have the intention to change his mind, he said, "Well, Luo Dong, the decision is up to you. How much are you going to invest?... The subordinate's opinion is that the maximum investment is 100 million US dollars Ok..."
"No." Without waiting for Wang Lei to finish, Lorraine said without opening his mouth.
Wang Lei could hear the determination in Lorraine’s words, and asked cautiously: "Dong Luo, do you mean...adding all the vacancies in his highest budget? That's a full 1.6 billion yuan high. Investment..."
"No, Mr. Wang, you misunderstood." Lorraine smiled.
Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seems that their chairman Luo is not crazy yet.
But I don’t know that when Wang Lei was relieved, Lorraine suddenly changed his words: "I want to add 500 million US dollars to this James Cameron movie. Um, if you fill the vacancy , We need to invest 350 million U.S. dollars, which is Huaxia coins... almost 2.3 billion."
"..." On the other side of the phone, President Wang's mouth was wide open, dumbfounded, and he hardly believed his ears.
Invest a full 2.3 billion yuan for a movie... Chairman Luo... Is it really thoughtful? Or is he just for fun? ?
…… ……
Lorraine Group is still in charge.
The Chinese Vision Film Company was quite opposed to Lorraine's decision. However, even if the opposition is louder, Lorraine still has to stick to his decision.
After Lorraine’s order, almost three days later, from the Rock Group’s name, a full 2.3 billion Chinese currency funds were transferred to Hollywood James Cameron’s " "Pandora Planet" under the public account of the crew.
