Chapter 839： Film and television layout continued

The m200 with the structural color coating has a starting price of US $ 30 million for publicity. I don't know if someone will buy it at a higher price after adding the name of the special props of the Shenxing crew.

However, it doesn't matter if no one buys it. No one really buys it. Guo Tailai puts it in the mansion on the top of Mulholan Mountain for his own collection. The car Guo Tai is not worried, some people want it, so is the watch.

"James, when the submarine dives down, I want to go to the North Pole first, are you interested?" Guo Tai came to think of his goal of going to the North Pole, and asked James decisively.

"Of course! Call me!" James was indeed a diving maniac. When he heard diving, he agreed immediately: "Well, it's interesting to go to the North Pole!"

Although there are often some secret disputes in the Arctic Ocean, Guo Tailai need not worry. When necessary, Lao Maozi may send a warship to escort, so there is no need to worry about security issues.

After enjoying a two-day relaxing holiday, Anne and James entered work and started reporting to Guo Tai in a conference room. Not only were there Lin Jiayi, there were also two Lin Jiayi assistants specializing in film and television management.

Annie first summarized her previous work, in fact, it was mainly the production and distribution of "God". From Guo Tailai's purchase of artisan entertainment to the present, basically the key work of artisan entertainment is in "God Walk". The 300-million-dollar large-scale production is almost comparable to the Titanic that year, and no one dares to ignore it.

However, speaking of it, investing 100 million US dollars in recent years is not a big production, and 200 million US dollars has just reached the standard. Needless to say, "Spider-Man 1" invested $ 140 million, and "Spider-Man 2" invested $ 200 million. Of course, the $ 300 million is still a super production.

At the lower end of "God Walk", the box office made everyone in the company breathed a sigh of relief. big sale! Film history second, can we ask for more?

In addition to the investment of Guo Tailai and several investors, there are actually a large number of sponsorship costs. Several car companies, Cheyenne Tactics, and taylor g and Audemars Piguet are close to one. 100 million US dollars, but this part of the investment does not need to be shared with investors, but will be calculated in proportion to cost, the income of this part of the investment will directly fall on the profit of the artisan company.

Annie reported the box office data of countries around the world, the share and the buyout price. These Guo Tailai were not really interested, so Annie reported very simple, mainly the data of several large ticket warehouses in North America, Europe, Australia, Japan and South Korea.

At present, the box office share has not been fully recovered, only one data and accounts receivable. It will take a certain amount of time for the refund after the movie is released, and it will not be received immediately after the movie is down. It has to wait for Warner and Twentieth Century Fox to calculate the detailed data before paying according to the terms of the contract, which usually takes six months or even longer, which seems to have become an industry practice.

Big companies certainly don't matter, they can't afford to wait. After a lot of small companies have invested heavily, the box office is not bad, because they ca n’t wait for the payment, they have to borrow money. If it is not so modest, it is likely to go bankrupt while waiting for the payment. Of course, artisan companies definitely don't have to worry about this. There is Guo Tai who comes to this big backstage, and there is no problem in returning money in one year.

Next, Annie reported on the next production plan for Artisan Entertainment.

Following the previous plan, Artisan Entertainment will produce two films next. One is based on the role of Julie in the universe of "Death of God". This is a long-established plan and also promised to several other heroines. The "God of God" universe will produce a series of films, each starring Have a share. The other is James' new film.

"G, I was waiting for a new technology, and it is now practical." Speaking of James's new movie, James was immediately excited, and said excitedly to Guo Tai: "You know."

"Yes, you told me that imax-3d technology, watch a movie, or be part of one." Of course Guo Tailai knew what James was waiting for: "The Matrix 2 and Spider-Man 2 use this This technique is also used in your last film, "The Ghost of the Deep Sea."

"So I plan to use this technology for new films." James said expectantly, "Although there are already films in use, the advantages of this technology have not been fully realized."

The implication is that James intends to make a groundbreaking film. Of course, Guo Tailai also knows that James did it. It's because of his "Avatar" that imax3d theaters have opened all over the world. From this point, James has always been a trend-setting guy.

"Okay!" Guo Tai nodded: "James, give you two options. The new" Terminator ", or the movie you are considering, pick one yourself! Of course, it is not the other or the other, just The order. I have bought the copyright of Terminator with Anne. This is a gift for you. You can choose to tear down your gift first or make a new film in your plan. "

"Gift?" James heard the words, his face full of surprises. Turning his head to look at Annie, Annie nodded silently.

"Ha!" James didn't care if it was in the conference room, stood up and gave Guo Tai a hug quickly, and was pushed away by Guo Tailai very disgustingly.

"If you don't have the beauty and figure of Phoenix, don't touch me like this!" Guo Tailai's disgusting words did not make James angry, but made everyone in the conference room laugh.

Sitting back, James began to think seriously. He followed Anne in anxiety, also in order to fight for the huge investment in the next film, but now Guo Tailai gave him two choices, absolutely a surprise, he can choose calmly. No one else spoke, waiting for James to choose for himself.

"Let's make a new movie!" After pondering for a while, James took a sigh of relief and made a choice: "I have conceived and prepared a new movie for a long time, and the Terminator has to start from scratch. In addition, Terminator 3 last year It ’s just released, and frequent screenings will also bring aesthetic fatigue to the audience. "

"Okay!" Guo Tai nodded, respecting James's choice: "What's the budget for the new movie?"

"According to my estimation, the production and special effects may be between 200 million and 300 million." James glanced at Anne a bit embarrassed, and then slowly said: "Because of the new technology involved, more publicity may be needed. That would cost at least $ 500 million to $ 600 million. "

Hearing James ’s budget, in addition to Guo Tailai and Annie ’s mind, Lin Jiayi and the two assistants are all face changes, a budget of 500 million to 600 million US dollars? A movie? Even James was a little embarrassed watching Guo Tailai. A movie investment is so large. Will Guo Tailai really support it? However, he has revealed the tone to the outside world, and some interested investors were scared away when they heard this investment quota. What happens to Guo Tailai?

Guo Tailai looked at the ceiling and seemed to be thinking about it. After a while, Guo Tailai turned to James, and asked James, who was looking forward to him very much.

"Do you want cash or a check?"
