Chapter 7 Who else but Leonardo
A long time, anyway, Cao Yu felt that a long time had passed, and there was no sound in the room for a long time.
"Are you confident?"
The person who spoke was not Roman, who was his mentor in Cao Yu's imagination, but Sangfuni Padqi. This situation surprised Cao Yu, and the words Sangfoni Padqi asked also puzzled Cao Yu.
At this time, no matter how stupid Cao Yu was, he knew that things didn't seem to be what he thought. He might still have a chance. With this thought, Cao Yu's frustrated heart was rekindled. After all, it was a movie that might be "Spider"
Xia's film appointment.
"Yes, I'm very sure." The words were like a sharp move, and like the dialogue in Gu Long's martial arts novels. These words came from the mouth of director Sam Raimi, which made Cao Yu a little confused.
"That's good. Since you are so optimistic about Cao, and Cao is a student of my old friend, I have to help in this situation. Tell me, how much investment does that movie require? How much investment is left?" Sang
Funi-Padeqi said another word that Cao Yu didn't understand.
Cao Yu's brain was completely confused at this time, and he was wandering around the maze-like map like he was playing a Miyazaki Hideo Soul series game for the first time.
Sometimes the world is like this. It's not that what others say is too high-end, but that you get too little information.
However, among the four people in the room, not only Cao Yu was confused, Cao Yu's mentor Roman also couldn't figure out the situation, so Roman asked Sangfuni Padchi, what on earth is going on?
Next, it’s time for Sanfoni Padge’s popular science.
What happened is very simple. Director Sam Raimi is a horror film director, and his good friends are naturally directors of horror films. Last year, one of his friends was planning to start a film crew, but the investors ran away.
, so everything fell through.
Director Sam Raimi read his good friend's script and found that it was a movie with great investment value. However, he had no money to invest himself. After all, the failure of his last movie had not allowed him to recover.
Woolen cloth.
So director Sam Category could only actively help his friends to attract investment.
No, he has become more powerful at Sony Columbia recently. He tried to help his good friend's book and submitted it to Sony Columbia's film and television department several times, but it got stuck. The reason for the jam was not quality issues, but
The issue of investment amount.
This problem can be big or small. Although the annual investment amount of the six major Hollywood companies is fixed, there is always some fluctuation, and this fluctuation is controlled by the president.
So today I took advantage of Cao Yu's opportunity to help his good friend.
His evaluation of Cao Yu just now can be summarized as follows: Cao Yu is very suitable, but it would be even more suitable if Cao Yu had experience in making movies, which would greatly increase the success rate of the project.
The reason why director Sam Raimi dares to do this is because he knows that this big production in his hands, Sony Columbia attaches great importance to it, Sanfoni Padge attaches great importance to it, and any measures that can improve the success rate of this project, as long as it is not
If it's too much, both Sony Columbia and Sanfoni Padge will agree.
Moreover, his good friend's script was of good quality and well-prepared. He also read it to Sanfoni Padge, who commented that the possibility of failure was very low and he was willing to invest, but put the investment aside for next year.
.
Originally, Sam Raimi was ready to give up, but after meeting Cao Yu and being shocked by Cao Yu's acting skills, he suddenly thought of this method.
And after thinking about it many times, Sam Remy believed that there was a high probability that Sanfuni Padge would agree to his request, so he said it. Unexpectedly, Sanfoni Padge actually agreed.
After learning the inside story, Cao Yu, who was the biggest beneficiary, had to speak up. After all, Cao Yu, who knew the inside story, was almost turned away by director Sam Raimi's saucy maneuver.
But the result was that a newcomer like him got a movie contract for free.
You have to know how many newcomers in the film and television industry can't get appointments for movies, let alone TV series.
"Director Sam, can you show me the script? I also have some spare money." Cao Yu said to director Sam Remy.
"Oh, this is still a little rich man?" Sangfuni Padchi said unexpectedly.
At this time, Cao Yu's tutor, Roman, explained to Cao Yu: "My student has been working in the British film and television industry since three years ago. At that time, he was young, but his acting skills were much higher than those of young actors of the same age, so he was invited to film.
Continuously, and over the years, he doesn't like extravagance and waste, so after all these years, calling him a "little rich man" is not too much."
It turned out to be like this. Both of them were a little surprised. This was the first reaction of Sangfuni Padqi and Sam Remy. Then they looked at Cao Yu more seriously than before. After all, the virtue of thrift is placed in
There is an advantage in every person, let alone in this lavish film and television industry.
Of course, although Cao Yu has made a lot of money over the years, the amount has not reached a very exaggerated level, it is only half a million US dollars.
And out of the five hundred thousand miles, there is still two hundred thousand dollars which is his salary for signing the contract to play Severus Snape on the "Harry Potter" crew today.
The reason why Cao Yu proposed to invest was mainly because he wanted to see what kind of script he might star in.
As a result, after Cao Yu read through it for a while, he was stunned. The content of the entire script could be condensed into four words - [Death is coming]
This Ta Miao's script is actually the script of the classic IP in the horror film "Death is Coming", which made Cao Yu tremble with excitement.
This was trembling with excitement. Cao Yu couldn’t remember how many times he had this impulse today. The first audition was for [Harry Potter], and then he was the male lead in the series of movies [Spider-Man] with a suspected total box office of 2.5 billion.
film appointment, and finally got another film appointment for the classic horror film "Death is Coming".
Any one of these three movies would be a huge success with a box office of over 100 million!
"The script is very good. I only have half a million US dollars, and I want to invest it all. What do you think?" Cao Yu said sincerely to director Sam Raimi.
"Of course, no one will be turned away. When the movie is released, we will give you corresponding dividends according to the corresponding investment amount." Although Sam Remy said this to Cao Yu, his eyes were always directed at Sang.
After all, Funi Padge wanted to make this movie. Cao Yu's half a million dollars was just a drop in the bucket, and the bulk of it was still with Sanfoni Padge's Sony Columbia.
"I'll also invest five million US dollars! It's a way to help my students." Roman, who silently read the script a little slower than Cao Yu, said proudly.
"Teacher!" Cao Yu said movedly, but his words were interrupted by Roman waving his hand.
At this time, Sanfoni Padge faced the gazes of Roman and Sam Remy, as if she was riding a tiger and was unable to dismount. She could only helplessly smile and said: "Sony Colombia will make up for the remaining investment."
Hearing Sangfuni Padchi say this, both Roman and Sam Remy smiled. At this time, Cao Yu walked in front of the three of them and gave them deeply, mainly to himself.
Mentor Roman bowed and said.
"Cao Yu will definitely perform well in these two movies."
At this time, Cao Yu could make such a promise, which made the three of them even more satisfied after seeing it. Even Sangfuni Padqi, who had spent a lot of money, felt much better.
Although it seems that the three of them are always scheming here, in fact, the only person who benefits the most in the end is Cao Yu, and Cao Yu shows such an attitude of gratitude and hard work. It is not that Cao Yu is flattering and flattering them, but that Cao Yu actually got it for nothing.
There are too many, so I have to thank some people who have contributed.
"Then let's do this for now. Today is just a preliminary intention to cooperate. There are still many things to deal with in the future. We will negotiate at that time.
And I heard Roman say that you also played a role in [Harry Potter]. This series is a trump card that Warner Bros. is preparing to create, and the investment amount is no less than the movie you have on Sony Columbia.
Thinking about it this way, this young man has a bright future. In the first year of his debut, he made two major A-level productions and one C-level production. No one in Hollywood can compare with you in his first year of debut, except for Leon standing on the bow of the boat.
Nadeau I can’t think of anyone else.”
