"No, QB, your movie is too risky. I asked a lot of people, all of whom are senior industry insiders, and the advice they gave was to let us not touch that subject!"

Chris clearly opposed Bai Quinn's filming of "The King of War".

In Jersey in early August, Tony set up a small square table in front of his favorite grocery store in the neighborhood where he grew up, sitting and eating smoothies while admiring the swimsuit girls on the beach across the street.

It would be a perfect afternoon if the two nephews next to him who made him very proud to stop discussing the movie businesses he was not familiar with.

"Nicolas Cage is very interested in my script. He is even willing to play it with a salary cut and he has to bring funds to the group. The successive success of "Face Change" and "Air Prison" has already allowed him to enter a club of 20 million. With Nicolas Cage, this movie will definitely be successful."

Bai Quinn believes that since this movie can be filmed in five years, the so-called professional analysis of the people Chris consulted is bullshit. How much changes can there be in the social environment in five years and the current one?

But he certainly could not use this reason to refute Chris, and could only move forward in a roundabout way and cut off the loss issue he was most worried about first.

"I'm not worried about Nicholas Cage's box office appeal, QB, what I'm worried about is that your movie is not willing to be released by the distribution company. If there is no theater screening, where will the box office come from?"

"Chris, it's time for us to build our own domestic distribution team! Should Warner or Miramax take a skin for each of our videos? Even if the screen count is smaller, our profit margin will rise..."

"You just have some money on the account, do you have to squander it?"

"Chris! Sixty million dollars are not a little money. The Wademark image needs to be expanded and it needs to establish its own distribution channel so that people won't get stuck!"

"I need funds to invest in Fry Electronics! We are going to open a new store! QB!"

"Forget it, the profit margins of electronic products stores are too low. Even if you adopt my advice and help customers assemble computers in the store for free, you still cannot increase much profit margins.

The coverage of each store is limited, and opening a new store requires a large investment. Haven’t you seen Ebay’s user growth rate? In the future, stores like you will be defeated by Ebay.”

"QB, we have discussed this topic many times. So what if your Internet company has so many users? How many people are there who actually pay? The company's valuation cannot be exchanged for real money! At least Fry Electronics has distributed me dividends! I distributed 400,000 US dollars! I got the US dollar! It's green!"

"When my company goes public, it will be more than 400,000 yuan, that is 40 million yuan or even..."

"Bang!"

Uncle Tony knocked the smoothie cup heavily on the square table and shouted: "Okay! Shut up!"

After looking at the two silent nephews, Uncle Tony said slowly: "You came to me because Wademark reflects the next development direction, so I'll share my opinions."

Uncle Tony looked at Chris first and said, "I object to taking out all the money I earned..."

"But we don't need that much money to put on the company's account now. We can raise funds from Victor..."

Chris was halfway through his words, and was so scared that he couldn't speak it.

"This is the first time, Chris, don't interrupt me when I speak!"

Chris nodded vigorously like a rice pecking at the rice.

“QB is right, we need our own distribution channels!

I don’t understand movies, but I understand business, and the shipping channels are ultimately in my own hands to make people feel at ease.

In addition, the Gambino family will not always provide us with financial support unconditionally. Although the interest rate given to us by Victor is very reasonable now, he always puts interests first.

When he understands the film industry, believe me, the interest rate of borrowing money from him will definitely increase, to the point where you feel profitable, but you feel that you can't make much money.

I also let go of usury, and no one knows this industry better than me!”

Uncle Tony put his hands flat on the table, leaned back against the back of the chair, put his two nephews in sight at the same time, and continued: "I made a decision on behalf of the family fund. Within two years, Wademark will not be paid dividends. You can use the money you earn to expand, whether it is a acquisition or self-built, build sales channels.

Our channels can be weak, but we must have them. This way, when cooperating with those large companies, they can also give us a more reasonable offer.

As for Victor's money, we will use more while the interest rate is cheaper now. When he raises the interest rate, we will use less.

Do you agree?”

"I agree! Uncle Tony!" Bai Quinn was very satisfied with this decision and quickly agreed.

Chris said reluctantly: "Okay, Uncle Tony..."

"As for your script..." Tony turned to White Quinn.

"I read it. Although I don't understand some parts very well, I still know what kind of story you want to tell. Did your protagonist refer to Soganarian's experience?"

"Yes!"

Sarkis Soganarian, known as the largest private arms dealer during the Cold War, was arrested by the US government in 1991 for selling weapons to Iraq and was sentenced to two years in prison.

He has a famous saying: "After I drink a glass of water, the US Intelligence Agency will immediately know what water I drink, and the United States knows whom I sell each weapon to."

Bai Quinn was also writing the script and searching for information to find out about this person's deeds.

In "The King of War", many of the protagonist Yuri's experiences are similar to that of this arms dealer.

But unexpectedly, Uncle Tony also knew about this person.

"Have you ever met Charlie?" Tony asked suddenly.

"No!"

Bai Quinn shook his head firmly. He really didn't want to face his father who could get himself involved in the murderous disaster.

"oh……"

Tony slowly tapped the table with his fingertips, fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "Wademark will not invest in this movie!"

The disappointed expression hung on Bai Quinn's face.

Tony changed his tone, "But someone will."

Bai Quinn immediately leaned over, as if closer, and could hear the following earlier.

"Did you understand this yet? Why did Victor invest in "The Legend of the Wicked" and "The Walker of the Stop" without hesitation?"

Chris said first: "Because the Italian mafia in "The Legend of the Wicked" is the protector of the community, it has helped us build a good image. The gangsters in "The Walker" are those annoying Irish people, and those guys like to mix sand into the police station! It's time for everyone to know the true face of the Irish people!"

Tony shrugged and said, "Look, don't your script say that the real backstage of those private arms dealers are those big powers, especially the United States.

You said, who likes you to say that the most?"

Bai Quinn figured it out and replied: "Private arms dealer!"

Tony smiled and said, "Yes, they also need public opinion support. They are also afraid that they will be liquidated one day by the backstage. For example, Soganarian, he is still fine. I heard that he is starting to return to his old career in France."

Bai Quinn asked in confusion: "You mean I asked Soganarian to invest in my movie?"

Tony waved his hand, "No, go find Charlie, he will introduce the investor to you."

Bai Quinn was confused and vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure.

Tony spread his hands on the table and signaled Bai Quinn and Chris to hold them. Then Bai Quinn and Chris held each other's free hand again.

Three people and six hands connected the city in a circle.

Tony lowered his head and whispered: "We are soldiers of the Soprano family. We are united in the face of the enemy..."

Tony said something, and Bai Quinn and Chris followed.

“…I am always loyal to my brothers, and I will never betray and deceive them at any time…”

“…My vow is only fulfilled when I see God. If there is betrayal, my blood will burn…”

Tony let go of the two, "Okay, all the disputes within us end here!"

"Okay, Uncle Tony!"

...

After Tony's guidance, Bai Quinn already knew how to operate the movie "King of War".

funds:

Invest in part by yourself;

Sayed, who participated in the screenwriter, is also interested, and he will also invest in part;

Starring Nicholas Cage will also invest in part;

The final part is provided by the arms dealer introduced by Charlie.

All funds are taken overseas accounts to avoid being constrained by certain domestic factors.

Shooting:

If you can’t find a director, just go on it yourself or Sayed. Didn’t that guy want to be a director?

At worst, it can be shot and edited according to the original films in the memory fragments.

The original film was filmed mainly in Africa and Eastern Europe, and there were very few scenes in the United States, which could reduce the proportion of employed union members and save a lot of money. At worst, there was no need for MPAA certification, or NC-17 could be accepted.

actor:

The starring role has already been made, Nicholas Cage.

I can play the younger brother of the protagonist myself, and other roles are easy to find.

issued:

After the film is completed, they will be screened at the Cannes or Berlin Film Festival, which will become famous. Those big companies will definitely not let go of the US dollar that is within their reach.

After careful sorting, Bai Quinn discovered that he had tortured "The King of War" into an independent film.

The biggest question now is, how to deal with Charlie who is still in prison?

Bai Quinn took his itinerary from Lena and took out the unchanged itinerary that brought Eminem to the TV announcement. It was really not easy to go to Dallas, Texas every two or three days.

On August 9, the agreement with Jack cannot be changed.

On August 15, the premiere of "I Know What You Do Last Summer" cannot be changed.

It seems that there is only one between these two times that you can go to Dallas.
Chapter completed!
