The two films that Carlos is about to prepare are undoubtedly high-cost investments.
"Beauty and Original Sin" is easy to say,
A small town during the war does not have much demand for scene construction...
And the story has an original address, which is the town of Casticuto, the hometown of Carlos' great-grandfather.
The biggest one is labor cost.
On the contrary, it is the current "Aesthetics of Death",
This is the first dilemma Carlos has encountered so far.
To create an ancient city of the 18th century, various special effects, buildings, props, labor costs...
If it fully corresponds to Carlos's vision, everything will be a huge expense.
The current calculated initial investment alone has reached 100 million US dollars!
Even if "The Unknown" is sold and the original amount is recovered, it will only be able to barely reach this amount...
After all, China, where this movie has the greatest influence, has the highest filming rate, which is less than 10%!
This is the result of the film type and character creation. If it were not for Yu Junhao, the maximum film schedule would only be 3%. If it were not shortlisted for Cannes, it would not be 5%. It would be able to reach 10%, but it would still be with Yu Junhao.
After winning the Best Actor Award at Cannes...
Other countries and regions will not be higher. For capital, what is art?
If making money is an art, then there is no doubt that this is the "art aesthetic" in their minds!
This is only the initial investment, not counting the actors’ remuneration and post-production special effects——
The final investment is guaranteed to be US$200 million!
If the photo is taken.
Both of these films can set off a phenomenon-level meditation and craze...
If it collapses.
That’s a loss of at least 300 million US dollars!
Converted to Chinese currency, it’s at least two billion——
No matter how thick-skinned Carlos is, it's hard for him to speak out.
Xia Yu didn't directly say anything about helping or participating.
Instead, he handed the initiative to Carlos Zivkovic and handed him a business card of Zhuang Ling.
Jokes:
"If necessary, you can make this call, but the specific investment and cooperation... it depends on you and the president of our bankrupt sister!"
The conversation changed,
"What I said seven hours ago still stands - the remuneration can be negotiated separately, in the form of equity participation."
*
You're staring into the abyss,
The abyss is also staring at you.
Xia Yu is not Carlos Zivkovic,
There is no mutually consistent second personality,
Being a salty fish is not a disguise, it is Xia Yu's ideal in life. It is good to be able to be a salty fish. If not, then her second personality, wolfish ambition, is the same absolute reason...
As for Yu Junhao, will he become a sharp blade in her hand or a weakness——
She doesn't know either.
After the fourth stage is completed, her heart seems to be less hardened, so she needs to be more rational to counteract the emotional changes.
If there is no future, why waste this time?
After clearing away the messy thoughts in his mind, Xia Yu put on a mask, sunglasses, and opened the car window.
It is the rush hour after get off work, and there is a constant flow of vehicles. The average wait for a traffic light is three to fifteen minutes...
As the hot evening wind in the imperial capital blew, Xia Yu began to think about another thing.
After accepting the script of "Beauty and Sin", Xia Yu's already tight schedule was immediately filled up.
And now, Wei Jingcheng's script has not been moved yet...
Xia Yu used to not like procrastination. Now that he had decided, he would definitely have to cancel the filming.
At first I was half reluctant, but half agreed.
So it would be too rude to refuse at this moment and just call.
Open the phone, slide to the Tao Zhang interface, and click on the dial button.
Half a moment.
The call was connected.
"Senior brother... let's have dinner together tonight?"
"What difficulties did you encounter? I heard your sister Tang say, don't you have an appointment today? Is it over?"
"Yes, for the sake of cooperating with Director Wei, I'm probably going to break the appointment for this cooperation. I remember that Director Wei has not been supervising the production in the imperial capital recently? I plan to treat Director Wei to a meal and apologize in person. Senior brother, do you think that's okay?
"
To put it bluntly, Xia Yu was willing to take the job verbally, mostly because of Tao Zhang's face and the kindness of Xia Yu's comeback to film "Beautiful People". Unlike when "The Wind" was rejected, Wei Jingcheng was rejected because of her partner Tao Zhang
The 30 million contract that was forced to be signed has nothing to do with it.
It’s not that things are different than they used to be.
The so-called Xia Yu's wings are hard.
Rather, everyone will choose the one that suits them better - just like when Wei Jingcheng chose the combination of Wei Fei and Yan Jingdan.
From a legal perspective, Xia Yu does not have to bear responsibility because the agreement has not been signed yet.
Morally, Xia Yu needs to make an appropriate gesture.
It's time to make amends, it's time to apologize, it's time to treat someone to a meal. The more coy you are, the more likely it will make things disgusting.
Xia Yu's meeting today was very sudden, but Tao Zhang probably knew who he was meeting, "Carlos Zivkovic"!
An astonishing "weird" director and an analyzer of light and shadow in the darkness of human nature!
After the "Unknown Man" film passed review, it was sent to Great Wall Film and Television.
As the agency group of Yu Junhao Studio, the main theater chain must be Great Wall Film and Television.
Mr. Zhuang and Tao Zhang were both invited to watch the movie...
I don’t have any comments about Mr. Carlos Zivkovic Zhuang, but he should have a lot of emotions——
After watching the movie, I just said, "This is the era of light and shadow for their younger generation!"
Even Mr. Zhuang, a veteran in the director circle, can't make an evaluation. Maybe it's not impossible, but as he said, "It's not an era anymore. I can't use the experience and framework of our era."
Evaluate him/them sexually!”
Just like he is becoming more and more silent about Xia Yu's guidance and development, support is his attitude.
As a teacher, I have no choice but to say that now Xia Yu can see his teacher's life, but as a teacher, he no longer knows, let alone can't see, where Xia Yu can go in the future.
step.
Tao Zhang was guessing at his teacher's psychology: It is conceivable that the movie directed by Carlos Zivkovic and the script he wrote are at least another level of excellence, classic, and great!
But this level of thought and film is undoubtedly not suitable for being overly publicized.
Only half a day after Xia Yu met with Carlos Zivkovic, he proposed to reject Wei Jingcheng's cooperation. Not surprisingly, the two of them had a new intention to cooperate, and the story of Wei Jingcheng's movie was more attractive.
she.
As a senior brother, even the relationship between Tao Xia and Tao Xia's family, there is nothing wrong with describing an unrelated brother. Of course, I hope Xia Yu can choose the path he wants to take, just like Tao Bai in the past and Tao Tang now...
As for Yueweitang, that is the way he wants to go.
Even though the theme of Wei Jingcheng's new movie is "Peking Opera" at its core.
But he alone is enough.
Xia Yu has to do more. As Zhuang He's closed student, movies are her path, continuing the path he and his teacher have left unfinished...
He smiled and said, "Okay, but Director Chi is here, so you have to be prepared to be glared at by him - after all, he went to great lengths to run for the position of assistant director of this movie, thinking he could work with you again.
, there must be a lot of resentment.”
Xia Yu himself felt a little guilty, and now he felt even more ashamed.
If it weren't for Chi Chong, I might not have been able to receive "Drawing Ground as a Prison".
She didn't miss Wei Jingcheng's kindness, but she couldn't forget Chi Chong's kindness. She could imagine Director Chi's angry look.
"As for the place to eat... please help me, senior brother, to arrange it!"
"Okay, okay, what about your sister Tang? How about these few days?"
"I have discussed it with my wife. In the past two or three days, I will go there in the morning and have a look. After I finish my work, I will stay with Sister Tang until the beginning of next month."
"The teacher was right when he scolded you. Did you come back here to take a break? You are much busier than us!"
"Thank you for your hard work, senior brother. Come back and cook in person to reward your hard work, senior brother!"
"You'd better tell the truth! You little dinner liar..."
