Chapter 952 Resource Coffee (3 updates, please vote for me)
Author: Qinggu
A lazy afternoon.
The windows were slightly open, and the cool breeze blew the pure white curtains into a beautiful and hazy curve.
You can vaguely see the drizzle outside the window, and the patter of rain is hitting the window.
It sounds slightly noisy, but it is extremely comfortable.
"Pap tap tap..."
The sound of keyboard tapping echoed slightly in the empty room.
The door to the living room was not closed, and from the corridor and patio side, a gust of wind blew into the room, carrying a faint smell of nicotine smoke.
Xia Yu frowned slightly.
But it has to be said.
This rather pungent smell of smoke completely eliminated her sleepiness caused by the "good weather".
The sound of tapping stopped, and Su raised the coffee cup on the table. He was surprised by the ease of the cup. He lowered his eyes for a moment, and then realized that the coffee cup had bottomed out. At the other end of the living room, Meng Dong was taking a nap with a pillow in his arms. Before her,
Next to it is a group of dark little guys.
Xia Yu smiled slightly, got up and went to the kitchen to pour a cup that Meng Dong had prepared a long time ago, then returned to the living room.
Continue tapping on the keyboard.
It's been half a month since the filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was completed.
Time is preparing to enter May.
After the filming of the scene was completed, Xia Yu did not return to Los Angeles or the imperial capital. Instead, he stayed in Bogota for a day, completed all the follow-up processing here, and flew directly to France.
As for Yu Junhao, he returned to China as soon as possible on the day when filming was completed.
Preparing for another physical adjustment for the new movie.
The new movie is called "Xiao Wu".
A pickpocket is a thief.
A story about a thief who lost his friendship, family, and love one after another, and finally lost his freedom and became a prisoner.
Xia Yu didn't see the details of the script, but after hearing the general plot, he found it interesting.
Actors like them don't care much about how much they can get paid for a movie.
Unless it's 100 million US dollars, it doesn't feel that big anymore, it's more about the choice of script.
Encountering an interesting script that allows more characters to be used... must be a very interesting acting experience.
Perhaps, this script may not necessarily bring huge financial benefits, and whether it can win an award is another matter. But if it were Xia Yu, Xia Yu would choose to give it a try.
During this time, in addition to understanding the script, Yu Junhao also asked a lot about director Zheng Teng.
In comparison, Xia Yu's team, which has provided help several times, has a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of Director Zheng Teng.
So when Yu Junhao asked questions, Xia Yu informed them based on what he knew.
As for other issues.
For example, he asked:
"Should I take it?"
Xia Yu always kept things very clear, "I've told you everything I know. It's your problem whether you accept it or not."
As for the issue of remuneration, we can only discuss it further.
For example, when starring in the drama "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the salary is as follows.
Yu Junhao originally wanted to star in a friendly role. After all, his salary in the industry is not low. In addition, he is a "close" international movie star and box office king Twilight Girl. Yu Junhao teased himself, "I am more like a resource person, how can I be embarrassed to ask for it?"
Pay?”
After all, Xia Yu is really flattering himself.
Xia Yu didn't agree.
The time that Yu Junhao wasted on this movie must be at least six months. It really needs to be counted as a year. What's going on if he doesn't count it?
Xia Yu asked, "Then it will be released by then and the box office will be very good, won't it hurt your feelings?"
Yu Junhao blinked, "Why does this hurt feelings? I care so much about money?"
Xia Yu thought about it and realized that it really wasn't the case. He just said, "You have your own reasons. Our company has our company's rules."
The actual payment was US$10 million.
Why do we have to pay US dollars or go through bankruptcy sisters? It’s just because of different procedures and different tax points.
Director Zheng Teng.
Xia Yu estimated that he could contribute two million, or even three million US dollars, which would be the upper limit.
Unless he did not invest by himself, but found another investor.
Otherwise, even with the results of "Drowning" and "The Outlaw", the investment in the film is still a bit overwhelming.
After all, in terms of box office, the most you can get in China is 35%.
Even though "The Market" earned director Zheng Teng a global box office of 900 million, this film was not wholly invested by Zheng Teng.
After deducting theater chains and other items, and then deducting investment and film remuneration, there really isn’t much left.
Five million US dollars is estimated to be the final investment that can be invested in the film "Xiao Wu".
Giving three-fifths to Yu Junhao is considered a great honor.
So regarding the remuneration, Yu Junhao did not discuss it with Xia Yu.
Xia Yu even thought that if... the script was really good, Yu Junhao could even be willing to give it a friendly price.
Of course, with Xia Yu's many contacts and experiences, it is not impossible to turn the salary into investment.
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" wrapped.
The two of them used the fastest time to get away from their roles and emotions, and shifted their time to other tasks.
Yu Junhao returned to the imperial capital.
Xia Yu chose France for two reasons.
Reason one: Arrive early for the Cannes Film Festival.
After "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was completed, the Broke Sisters immediately submitted "Aversia Hatcher" to participate in the Cannes Film Festival.
Reason 2: For the follow-up of Carlos Zivkovic’s two films.
Regarding "Death Aesthetics", due to the change of the team and the strong support of Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling, the later stage is more stable and faster.
The main thing is financial support.
How can I say that Future Film and Television is now considered a subsidiary of Bankrupt Sisters?
No, it’s better than that!
We have invested to this point, and there will be "Beauty and Original Sin" as a follow-up.
Zhuang Ling and Xia Yu decided to upgrade the future film and television editing room.
In other words.
Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television has long been targeting the European market. For subsequent film shootings, Xia Yu’s focus will basically be on Europe in addition to domestic production.
So we set up a branch here.
This was decided a year ago, and we started tinkering with it half a year ago when filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" ended. After the Italian filming phase ended, we were completely disappointed!
The company is right next door to Future Film and Television.
Differences and plans for future film and television.
Future Film and Television only bought a small floor, while the bankrupt sisters bought the entire building next door.
Anyway, in Xia Yu's opinion, as long as you don't invest in real estate in beautiful countries, real estate investment in most countries around the world is still very good.
For this reason, Xia Yu bought an old building on the bank of the Seine, directly opposite the Arc de Triomphe and near the Eiffel Tower.
As for why he didn’t buy one, it’s actually not Xia Yu’s style since he doesn’t even live in it, so he bought it and left it empty.
From now on, it will be fine if Teacher Yongxia and Xia Yu’s parents can settle down here without having to stay in a hotel.
Speaking of Teacher Yongxia, Xia Yu felt that he might have overthought it.
