Chapter 713 He succeeded again and rushed to invest in 'The Witch'
Wu Hu brought Da Meili and Tie Tie to the stage, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
They were puzzled. Although they knew that Wu Hu and Da Meili had a good relationship in the survival show, how could they still maintain such a close relationship after the survival show was over?
Then, they were surrounded by entertainment reporters.
Those celebrities who were surrounded by one or two reporters before suddenly saw the reporters interviewing them running away, and they were immediately speechless.
But when they saw Wu Hu, everyone lost their temper. In terms of popularity, which celebrity in China can compare with this guy?
He didn't even release an album, but Warner Records was still willing to pay 100 million to sign him, just to get the opportunity to hold a concert for him.
Who should I ask to explain this operation?
"Fat Hu, Tie Tie, why did you get together with Da Meili?"
Wu Hu smiled and said: "We are good friends, what's so weird about being together?"
Speaking of which, Wu Hu and Da Meili spent a lot of time together. Although they didn't communicate much on the set of "Ghost", they didn't communicate at all.
It goes without saying in that survival show, so when everyone heard Wu Hu say that they were "good friends," they didn't think there was anything wrong.
Da Meili said with a smile: "I invited Tietie to help me refer to the dress for this event today, and then we came together."
Seeing the bright red suit that Da Meili was wearing, someone laughed and said, "Sister Zeng, the outfits you and Tie Tie match really well! Can you stand together and let us take a few photos?"
They had seen Dame Meili wearing a suit many times, especially after "Ghost" was aired. She had attended some events at home and abroad wearing this outfit.
That sassy and beautiful attacking aura has fascinated many of her fans.
Upon hearing this suggestion, Da Meili put one hand in her pocket and generously held Tie Tie's shoulder with the other, holding her in her arms and posing in front of the flashing lights.
Not to mention, Dame Meili's posture with one hand in her pocket made her attack energy increase even more.
Wu Hu even believed that maybe tomorrow a tabloid reporter would say that she might come out.
"Fat Tiger, I heard Director Xu tell Bao Bao and the others that you had guessed early on that the box office of "囧囧" would exceed one billion. So do you think it is possible for your show to break the box office record of Flowers?"
Some reporters took the opportunity to ask the questions they most wanted to know.
Wu Hu smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Whether it can break the box office record is not up to me. It depends on whether the audience is willing to go into the cinema again. Judging from the current number of viewers of this movie, it is actually still possible.
Many viewers have not gone to the cinema. It still has some potential, so everyone will wait and see!"
Wu Hu can't badmouth the movies he invested in at this time. If "囧" can really break the record, it will also be good for New World Media.
Although their film company does not have any award-winning films, it can still make money! Although it has little background, it is full of energy and is the favorite of many theater partners.
Moreover, didn’t you see that the Wang brothers’ eyes turned red?
Especially after the movie "1942" was released, they invested more than 200 million in this movie, but the box office was less than 400 million, and the account directly lost nearly 100 million.
And "囧"? It invested 50 million, and now the box office is close to 1.3 billion.
Thinking about the disparity, it's no wonder that the Wang brothers' eyes turned red.
It makes me sad to think about losing money while others make a lot of money.
As for Guangxian, they are now filled with regret. It’s not that they don’t like this movie, but what they originally thought was that it would be great if it could have a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan.
Invest 30 million, earn back 60 to 70 million, make a net profit of 30 to 40 million, and at the same time increase their company's stock price, make a lot of money!
But now...
Although the stock price is rising, they have indeed made a lot of money, but it feels like a loss to make so much less than the full investment! If I had known that the box office of this movie was so crazy and perverted, I would have said nothing.
Give up this opportunity!
It's a pity that this kind of hindsight is meaningless. If you want to blame them, they can only blame themselves for not being as good as Fat Hu in this regard, and not as courageous as others!
Looking at Wu Hu's investments, it can only be described as the madness of a gambler. Who else would dare to invest 70 to 80 million in the first movie to make a movie starring himself (New World)?
In the eyes of many people, this is no different from a stupid person who spends more money playing tickets.
But damn, he actually succeeded!
Who dares to randomly write a script (lucky key), hand everything over to others to operate, and invest tens of millions without starring in it?
He dares!
And he succeeded again!
Who dares to directly invest 40 million after briefly reading the script, and completely let a novice director do whatever he wants (Thai Embarrassing)?
He dares!
And he succeeded again!
Now, everyone is staring at his new movie "Now You See Me".
If this movie continues to be successful, New World Media's status in the industry will really be different.
The previous projects can only be said to have some market in Asia, but "Now You See Me" is aimed at the world. Will Europe and the United States buy it?
No one is sure, so many people are waiting for the release of this movie and waiting to see the response after the movie is released.
If it did, the situation would be completely different.
Before, it was only for Asia, but now it is for all the world.
There is no domestic film company that can cooperate with foreigners and achieve success.
If New World Media succeeds, its status and symbol within and outside the industry will have a completely different meaning.
After dealing with the entertainment reporters for a while, Wu Hu was surrounded by the bosses of the film and television companies, including the Wang brothers.
Under normal circumstances, the Wang brothers rarely appear at the same time. On such occasions, it is usually the Wang brother, Xiao Wang, who appears, but tonight the king is also here.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I just haven’t seen their royal director Feng Dapao Gangzi. I guess this veteran director who claims to be no worse than the three major directors is also a little difficult to face Xu.
You must be a rising star with a bald head! Your face hurts so much. After "1942" was released after "囧囧", the box office began to plummet, and you couldn't save it even if you wanted to.
This rising star is so handsome! He showed off his face.
The bosses of these film and television companies naturally wanted to ask if there was any chance of cooperation with New World Media. After all, who wouldn’t want to follow a movie that makes money?
New World Media, a small company, has never failed in any of its movies or TV series that have invested above average so far!
Even for those low-budget movies, even if they don't make big profits, they still make small profits, and very few lose money. Even if they lose money, it won't hurt New World Media.
Speaking of cooperation, Wu Hu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I really plan to invest in a soft science fiction film after the New Year. You should have heard the news!"
"Fat Tiger, are you referring to the big heroine movie starring Sissi?"
The script of this movie has been finalized a long time ago, and even some shooting locations, as the director of this movie, Men Qing, have already been selected.
While Wu Hu was going to the survival show, some casting work was also quietly going on.
Although Wu Hu had already booked several important roles, Wu Hu left some other minor roles to director Men Qing to choose.
Of course, it was Wu Hu who made the final decision, lest anyone rely on the rights he gave him to take advantage of the back door and insert unsuitable actors.
Therefore, they did not conduct large-scale external auditions. After all, instead of selecting the main characters, conducting large-scale auditions seemed a bit too overwhelming.
With Wu Hu's current traffic and popularity, as long as there is a movie in which he participates, there will definitely be no need to rely on auditions to promote it, and he doesn't have a big beard.
When Zhang Beard did that kind of thing, he also received backlash. He raised the audience's expectations before the filming started, but as soon as the film was shot, people started to curse.
Wu Hu smiled and said: "Yes! Are you interested? The investment is still quite large."
In another time and space, the investment in the movie "The Witch" was actually not large, just over five million dollars, but it made more than twenty million dollars at the box office, so it was obviously a profit.
However, now that Wu Hu is starring with Yahuazi, Mina, Tietie and others, the investment is definitely not small. Their current salary is quite high, especially Wu Hu.
Even in "Xiu Chun Dao 2", Wu Hu starred in a friendly role, but he still received a salary of tens of millions, which was still Wu Hu's net worth at that time.
Although he also invested in this movie, the bulk of the investment was from the film industry, so even if Wu Hu acted as a friend, he still had to receive a salary, but he was given a friendship price.
But now Wu Hu is not only paid, but also gets a share of the box office.
Therefore, Wu Hu doesn't mind other companies coming in to get involved. Who knows if this movie will be acclimatized? Yahuazi has never shown the ability to single-handedly support the box office. It is still a matter of opinion whether the audience will buy it.
The main heroine of science fiction has this flaw that makes people forget about it.
However, Lao Wan from Xingkong Film and Television did not think much about it and just asked: "What is the total investment for this drama? How much share can we from Starry Sky Film and Television get?"
Wu Hu smiled and said: "The share is not too big, the movie producer has already asked for 30%. We at New World Media will keep 40%, and you can negotiate the remaining 30%. This movie needs some special effects shots, after all, it is a soft science fiction.
Adding in the remuneration of me, Sissi, and Tietie and the others, the investment is estimated to be fifty million dollars..."
This investment is actually a bit deceptive. Even if his current salary reaches the level of 20 million U.S. dollars... In fact, with his current popularity, it is not strange for his salary to reach this level. But for Bald Eagle, there is definitely no one.
The company was willing to pay him this price because he had not proven his box-office ability in Hollywood.
Compared with the investment in this movie in Another Time and Space, it is nearly ten times more. However, if he bids this price and there are still people flocking to it, then you can rest assured about cooperation. After all, it is better to be generous with the partners than to cooperate with those buckles.
Soso people cooperate.
Several film and television companies were also shocked when they heard about this investment amount. Fifty million dollars is more than 320 million dollars.
It's more than 320 million, and the box office needs to be almost 1 billion to recover the cost.
Thinking of this box office result, many people couldn't help but gasp.
But consider that the movie "New World" that Wu Hu filmed when he debuted has received more than one billion in box office throughout Asia. With the market that Wu Hu has in Asia now, it is not a big problem to have a box office of one billion.
In addition, in addition to box office revenue, the copyright can also be sold to Europe and the United States, or even directly released in Europe and the United States. With Wu Hu's current international popularity, some people will definitely give it a try.
Of course, if "Now You See Me" fails, fewer people will try.
This requires them to have the courage to take a gamble and bet that "Now You See Me" can win!
After just a pause, Lao Wan from Xingkong Film and Television laughed directly and said: "If you don't want it, then the remaining three achievements will belong to us at Xingkong Film and Television!"
"Old Wan! Thirty percent is one hundred million! We, the Wang family, can also eat fifty million out of the one hundred million! Don't eat alone, those who see will have their share, and those who see will have their share..."
Xiao Wang laughed loudly, raised his glass of wine towards Wu Hu, and said: "Although it is not easy to recover the cost of such a large investment, I believe that Fat Tiger is popular around the world. What's more, this investment has not yet been "
Now You See Me is so big!”
"Now You See Me" invested 70 million U.S. dollars, and Wu Hu's New World Media directly took 30 million U.S. dollars. Many people in the industry still admire this courage.
After all, New World Media is actually not very large, and its assets pale in comparison to the listed companies they own.
Look, as long as you have the ability to invest, it's that simple.
At this time, Mr. Wang from Guangqian smiled and said: "Since everyone who has seen it has a share, then give us 30 million to Guangqian!"
"It's okay if we fight! Mr. Wu, please consider us!"
Wu Hu raised his glass and clinked it with them. An investment share of 100 million is very simple!
At this time, Kang Zhi, as the event planner and the person in charge of New World Media in Wu Hu's absence, directly acted as the host of this event.
First, he thanked the guests, then affirmed and thanked the creative team of "Thailand" for their achievements, and then invited Sitting Mountain Eagle to come on stage and say a few words.
Wu Hu was originally invited to come on stage to speak a few words, but Wu Hu took the initiative to show his traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young and gave this opportunity to the sitting eagle.
Wu Hu knew that this mountain eagle would call on everyone to go to the theater on his behalf to help impact the final box office results of this movie.
Sure enough, Wu Hu's guess was correct. After the mountain eagle took the stage, he began to talk about the development of the flower gardener's film, how it was not easy, and how the flower gardener's film was overwhelmed by Hollywood movies. In this way,
Arouse everyone's patriotic feelings.
Don't tell me, everyone was very excited to hear it.
PS: July is coming, I am sad and asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket, thank you!
