Chapter 670 Quentin, I'm very optimistic about you
"Quentin, you should also be able to see that my IQ is higher than ordinary people!"
Liu Lang then spoke.
"That's that!"
Quentin nodded repeatedly. Not only is it higher, you were admitted to Stanford at the age of six. You are simply too much higher.
"Having a high IQ has many benefits. The first is that I think too fast. I can figure out things in a few days that others can't figure out in months. For example, in the script "Pulp Fiction", the idea is yours, but after reading it, I
I immediately had more to think about, so I completed it in such a short period of time. You can't beat me in this!"
In fact, the reason why Quentin Tarantino lacks confidence is not only because he saw that Ye Jinsheng did better than him, but also because his rather confident script ideas were supplemented better by Liu Lang, an outsider. This made his confidence
My heart was hit.
Quentin Tarantino didn't say anything, everyone knew what he was thinking!
Liu Lang smiled slightly and continued.
"Another advantage of having a high IQ is that you can spot people very accurately. Lin Guodong was the manager of Coca-Cola Company in China, and I hired him there. A year ago, Lucas Industrial Light and Magic was about to go bankrupt. I spent a thousand
Bought it for 10,000 US dollars, Ye Jinsheng is the same, I can definitely
Chang Anxin gives them the work to do, and I believe that they will do a good job. I am convinced of this. Similarly, the reason why I support you as a director is because I am optimistic about you. I think your future achievements will not be lower than Lu
Cass, it should be no problem to become a world-famous director!"
"Ah, Mr. Liu, do you really think so?"
Quentin Tarantino almost jumped up. Liu Lang's words were like a shot in the arm.
"Would I give you a million dollars if I didn't think so? My money doesn't come from the strong wind. I need you to help me make money, and I think you can do it. This pulp novel can do it.
!”
Liu Lang is very confident. Quentin Tarantino is so happy that his chin almost goes up to the sky. He agrees so much with Liu Lang's words. Would someone with such a high IQ find a fool? No, it should be said that he does.
Is it a loss-making trade?
Of course not, obviously he has taken a fancy to a certain trait in himself, what trait? Isn’t it what he thinks is his talent as a director? This is what heroes think alike!
Just these few words from Liu Lang made Quentin Tarantino regain his confidence. Geniuses say so, and it must be right!
"Mr. Liu, how much box office do you think this movie can have?"
Quentin Tarantino wants to hear his predictions.
"Well, I think there is hope for thirty million dollars!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Thirty million?" Quentin Tarantino's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
What is the concept of a box office that costs 1 million and 30 million, and the revenue reaches 30 times? A large-scale movie produced by a large company such as Fox or Universal Pictures costs about 4 to 5 million U.S. dollars, and the box office reaches 1,000 U.S. dollars.
Ten thousand dollars is considered a successful investment, and if it exceeds twenty million dollars, it is a model investment. If it reaches thirty million dollars, the director will immediately become a famous first-line director in Hollywood and become the target of various film companies.
There is a basis for what Liu Lang said. In his previous life, the movie "Pulp Fiction" was released around 1993. The cost was about six million US dollars, six times the current amount. This is mainly because the protagonist Bruce Willis
He was already famous at that time. He filmed "Die Hard" in 1990 and suddenly became famous.
As an actor, his salary alone exceeds one million U.S. dollars. Coupled with factors such as rising prices, six million is considered a normal investment. At that time, the box office of the movie finally reached 200 million U.S. dollars, and the income also reached 300 million U.S. dollars.
Many times, Quentin Tarantino became a well-known director precisely because of this movie.
There is basically no big difference between Liu Lang's investment of one million US dollars now and the six million US dollars six years later. As long as the starring actors are gathered together, the quality of the movie will basically not change, so thirty million US dollars is not a lot, Liu Lang
I think it is possible to achieve a box office of 50 million US dollars, and 30 million US dollars is just a conservative number.
Liu Lang thought it was conservative, but Quentin Tarantino thought it was a miracle. He thought it would be a blessing to have a box office of three million, but Liu Lang doubled it tenfold.
"Quentin, since I said you will become a world-famous director in the future, I will not underestimate every one of your movies. The scripts are wonderful on the one hand, but the most important thing is that you have to shoot in your own style and make every movie...
Each movie has your own label on it, and this style is the key to your success, so don’t underestimate yourself!”
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I won't let you down!"
Quentin Tarantino nodded solemnly.
With a knot in his mind settled, Quentin can do it with peace of mind. Liu Lang has already given him a list of actors, including the three iron triangles of John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis.
They can't move, and they all have to be found. Of the three of them, only John Travolta used to be somewhat famous, but because of the many bad movies he made in the past few years, his reputation plummeted. It can be done with two hundred thousand dollars, and the rest
Those two people have a total of two hundred thousand dollars.
There is also a heroine role, which was played by Uma Thurman in her previous life. Now she doesn’t even have a shadow. Liu Lang made a request that this heroine should have a cooler appearance and be able to dance a little. Anyway, this character’s scenes in the movie
Not many, there are a lot of people like this in Hollywood, and they basically get a salary of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
The rest is the shooting cost. This movie is a drama, so it will be no problem to temporarily rent the shooting scenes when the time comes.
It can be said that the selling point of Quentin Tarantino's movie lies in the story itself and the editing of the shots during shooting. Liu Lang believed that the other party would complete the work satisfactorily.
Liu Lang and Quentin Tarantino were chatting when Charles Sibella slowly walked over.
"Mr. Liu, I want to thank you, so I want to have a drink with you. You can just have a drink!"
Charles Sibella said with great respect that two months ago she was just a contract actress on Broadway and could only get a remuneration of more than 20,000 US dollars a year. In the blink of an eye, she became a well-known female singer in Hollywood. She wanted to thank her first
It's Ye Jinsheng. Without Ye Jinsheng's insightful eyes, she wouldn't have been able to get ahead. Secondly, she has to thank Liu Lang. It was Liu Lang who created a song that is like the sound of nature, and it is a song with strong Irish characteristics. She loves it both in public and in private.
Thank you to this "little boss".
"Char, this is an opportunity you got based on your strength. Next, the company will also tailor a new song for you. I hope you will continue to work hard!"
To be able to perform on Broadway, Charles Sibella's singing skills are beyond praise, and her personality is also very easy-going. She is like the sister next door, but her appearance is not outstanding and she does not have the so-called star temperament. But who says that stars have to be
Good-looking?
Charles Sibella was so happy when his boss said this that he almost shed tears of excitement.
