Everything went smoothly. Although the meeting with Cameron did not directly sink Titanic into Hollywood, director Cameron was very interested in the film that the boy told him about, but he didn't dare to do it because he couldn't arrange a release date right now.
Agree.
In fact, Cameron has an inexplicable interest in exploring the Titanic that sank at the bottom of the sea. After the movie was screened, Cameron joked that the reason why he made the movie "Titanic" was actually because he could
Go explore the wreckage.
In a time and space that was not disrupted by Xia Xiaoluo, Cameron had the idea of reshooting Titanic in 1992, but it was repeatedly shelved because he could not find investors. In the end, the film was produced by 20th Century Fox
The investment in filming cost an unprecedented $200 million.
After the filming started, 20th Century Fox had been worried that the most expensive movie ever would fail miserably. For insurance purposes, it sold the distribution rights in the United States to Paramount Pictures for $65 million. Even due to constant expenses
In addition, director Cameron also gave up his salary of US$8 million. Of course, after Titanic achieved unprecedented success, the great director known as the King of the World received US$100 million in box office share alone.
There is currently only one person in the world who knows about the brilliance of this movie that is still being discussed between two men, and that is Xia Xiaoluo, a seventeen-year-old boy from China.
A total investment of 200 million U.S. dollars in a movie can make any director on the planet excited; and the story the boy told was said to be from his dream further stimulated Cameron's desire to take on the movie, and he kept talking.
The story of Jack and Rose's love not only moved the director, but also the young and moving Chu Xiuhan.
After humming "My Heart Will Go On" as a final blow, Cameron surrendered. He told Xia Xiaoluo that he was very interested in filming this movie, but since he had already signed two movie contracts this year, he could only
I can put this movie to shoot tomorrow.
Xia Xiaoluo's answer was: "The US$200 million is only the expected investment. If it is insufficient, we can continue to add more, but we must achieve the best results. All actors are selected by the director himself. If necessary for filming, they can be cast according to the requirements of Titanic
Original drawings to build a real cruise ship!"
Big deal! This is the biggest move since the advent of film technology. Building a cruise ship just to shoot a movie? The cost of the Titanic was 10,000 pounds. Almost a hundred years have passed. Even with the development of technology, the cost of building a ship has increased significantly.
Reduced, but with inflation factors in mind, the cost of building a completely real Titanic would be at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
With such conditions, there will no longer be any suspense in this movie. Cameron immediately excitedly expressed that he was the only one to be chosen as the director. He would free up the entire next year to do nothing and concentrate on filming.
For this movie, if one year is not enough, it will take two years, and if two years is not enough, it will take three years. In short, it must be shot to perfection.
Different from history, the Titanic is about to come true. Cameron is very interested in rebuilding a Titanic as Xia Xiaoluo said. A boss who is not afraid of burning money and a director who knows how to spend money.
A few jokes gave rise to a 10,000-ton cruise ship, which is really a shocking thing.
In addition to the success of this matter, Xia Xiaoluo's other goal also went smoothly. After waiting for four days, the two founders of the most famous game company in the future rushed to Los Angeles. Two million US dollars were exchanged for 100%.
Eighty percent of the shares, a case that has been called one of the models of precision investment by countless investors in later generations, the contract was signed within ten minutes.
Xia Xiaoluo was very satisfied, and Mike Mowaimi and Alan Adhan were even more satisfied. They relied on loans to survive and suddenly received a huge amount of funds, and the controlling investor would not interfere with the company's operations. What could be more satisfying than this?
Happy things, is there anyone who is more like a savior than this boy?
Under Xia Xiaoluo's suggestion, Silicon and Synapse disappeared early and were replaced by the future famous "Blizzard Entertainment".
Damn, my dream of playing out-of-print games has finally come true! In the future, any Warcraft, Diablo, or StarCraft games produced by Blizzard can only be played by me. Xia Xiaoluo smiled obscenely. Thinking of himself
After playing the crudely made Contra for several years, I feel a little nauseous. Contra was once a classic for many middle-aged men who love nostalgia, but if you go back twenty years ago, try playing it every day.
?You are tired too!
The next stop is the world-famous casino city of Las Vegas.
The person you want to meet is the world-famous world gambling king Old Kurt. This gambling king accounts for half of the casino business in Las Vegas and is also the Senate of California. At the same time, he also has an identity, MGM
Major shareholder of the film company.
Xia Xiaoluo has obtained a document written by Eric, regarding the analysis report on MGM. This report analyzes MGM's business layout and the distribution of core assets in the film industry chain, which is in line with Xia Xiaoluo's analysis.
Xiao Luo’s impression of MGM.
Xia Xiaoluo has come up with a perfect plan. Paramount's advantage lies in its huge power of theaters, which is the lowest level of the film industry, equivalent to retail; while MGM's advantage lies in film production, they have a huge number of
The studios and shooting equipment, and the production capabilities are huge. However, MGM does not have any cable channels, TV networks, and no media group to back it up. An independent production company like MGM is naturally subject to others.
Therefore, Xia Xiaoluo's plan is to use the production capabilities of MGM, the distribution capabilities of Paramount, and rely on his foresight to shoot movies that are destined to be box office hits, so as to maximize the "strong cultural" film and television
Earnings from an investment company.
Of course, Xia Xiaoluo did not think about acquiring MGM. Maintaining capital liquidity and seizing fleeting market opportunities has always been Xia Xiaoluo's guiding principle.
In the past few days in Hollywood, Xia Xiaoluo has gained a lot. He has negotiated the filming of three movies that are bound to be big hits. Xia Xiaoluo feels very happy. The business environment in the United States is really very comfortable. Don’t be afraid of the top ten families.
Other families in the country are staring at themselves, and there is no need to worry that political opponents will suddenly use their business behavior as evidence to attack the Hexia Group. The most important thing is that when doing business in the United States, these unlisted companies are not bound by government regulations and do not need to
Looking at the government's face, it really feels like the ocean is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
Damn it, now that he is also the most powerful film industry tycoon in the world, how about unspoken rules for a few actresses? Xia Xiaoluo smiled obscenely.
At this time, Xia Xiaoluo was sitting in the black business car, running on Highway 66 from Hollywood to Las Vegas. Outside the car, the dazzling sun hung in the sky, shooting out a sword-like light, and the air became even brighter.
It was extremely hot. There was a cool breeze inside the car, and the car air conditioner made a pleasant buzz. Xia Xiaoluo read with a smile while holding a copy of the Wall Street Journal.
Xia Xiaoluo rubbed his sore eyes and glanced out the window. The common asphalt roads were always black, but the highway in front of him was a rare reddish brown, which looked very soft in the flat desert. In the desert
Clusters of cacti growing like green trees were quickly left behind by the car. In midsummer, the already hot desert was even more scorching.
"Master Luo, there seems to be a car following us." Daofeng glanced at the rearview mirror and said calmly, "Do you want to get rid of them?"
"Oh——?"
Dao Feng pursed his lips and said nothing. Master Luo has no enemies in the United States. If the U.S. government knew about Xia Xiaoluo's investment in the United States, it would definitely classify Master Luo as a VIP-level international friend. So, you can figure out who is there with your buttocks.
Damn it. Dao Feng was full of resentment towards Bengyaju. In fact, it was easy for Dao Feng to kill these people. He had his trump card, but since Master Luo gave the order, he did not dare to say anything more and sat there suppressing his anger.
Along the way, it was rare to see big trucks. All that roared past were luxury cars. People flocked to the casino from all directions. At the same time, there were also luxury cars speeding past. They were organized by travel agencies to go gambling.
If you travel to the city, the travel and accommodation fees can be exempted, but you must participate in gambling for more than three hours; there is also a model where tourists must stay in the casino for one night, and it is up to you to decide whether to participate in gambling. Even so, if you take other people's cars,
Are you okay with staying in other people's hotels and not giving them "pleasure"? What's more, when you stay in a casino for a night, can you resist the "irresistible temptation"? In this way, the desert is deep
In Las Vegas, there is a constant flow of tourists all year round.
The car was speeding on the vast desert. Suddenly, a black triangle appeared directly in front of it. The black triangle was getting bigger and bigger. When it got closer, Xia Xiaoluo saw it clearly. It was a black pyramid!
This is a newly built large hotel. The architect was ingenious and designed it in the shape of a pyramid. Such a large pyramid-shaped hotel is mainly made of steel structure and is extremely expensive. Only casinos can afford it. This black pyramid is also
Las Vegas landmarks.
When we drove into Las Vegas, we saw luxury hotels connected in a row. The colors of the houses were extremely bright, vying for glory under the golden sunshine. Between the buildings, you could see tall betel nut trees. This place was originally
In a desert where no grass grows, every tree costs tens of thousands of dollars to be transported from afar.
The hotel Xia Xiaoluo stayed in was the Harrah's Hotel, one of the three major hotel chains in Las Vegas. The car stopped steadily in front of a building dominated by blue tones, and Xia Xiaoluo took everyone out of the car.
, there is plenty of land in the desert, and parking here is free. The doorman took the key and parked the car in the parking lot. Xia Xiaoluo and everyone walked into the lobby of Harrah's Hotel.
