Chapter 588

"Build a real Titanic!" Jon was stunned by the amazing idea.

"It's impossible!" Jon said immediately. "In 1912, the Titanic spent $10 million, at least about $300 million according to the current inflation. Moreover, compared with 1912, the prices of many materials soared and the wages of workers changed dramatically."

"Now the United States needs at least $400 million to buy a huge ship equivalent to the Titanic, which is too high!" Jon said immediately.

"Hey, Mr. Jon, have you forgotten everything I just told you?" boss Jia smiled. "The cost of shipbuilding in the United States is certainly amazing. But what if the ship is also made in China?"

"A few days ago, I sent someone to the shipyard in China for consultation. The cost of a ship with a considerable tonnage of the Titanic is about 240 million yuan. If it is converted into US dollars, it will be only over US $40 million!"

"But this is a modern ship that can go ocean, has complex navigation systems and various equipment, and needs to use all kinds of special materials."

"But our ship is only used for making movies. We don't need so many complex equipment at all. We only need an empty hull. He doesn't even need the ability to sail at sea. At that time, we just need to hire two tugboats to drag it forward when making movies!"

"In addition, because there is no need to go to the ocean and even shoot the picture of his sunken ship, there is no need to consider the problem of material strength at all. Just use ordinary materials to ensure that they can stay on the calm sea for a year without disintegration!"

"In this case, the cost of the ship will be halved. It can be won as long as 120 million yuan, which is only equivalent to about 20 million US dollars!"

"In addition, we can also make some real ship interior cabins for film shooting, so that even most of the green screen plays are saved, and all actors can shoot in the real cabin environment, so that the pictures will be more real. What else do we need special effects?"

"The last and most important thing is that when we finally shoot the picture of the sunken ship, we can directly hit the whole ship directly against the iceberg, and really shoot the state and appearance of the Titanic when it was sunken. No matter how many green screens and special effects, or how much money, we can't achieve the effect!"

"I also think that this is the biggest publicity selling point of our film. When the ship starts to be built, we can publicize the reconstruction of the Titanic. When the ship starts to be used for shooting, we can publicize live shooting. When the ship is finally going to be sunk, we can invite global media to broadcast it live, so that people all over the world can witness one with their own eyes The scene of the sinking of the giant ship! "

"Believe it or not, just the advertising revenue from this live broadcast will be equal to half of our shooting cost!" said boss Jia "Do you remember Diana's century wedding in 81? Hundreds of millions of people watched the live broadcast of the wedding all over the world. Although it cost US $110 million, in the end, the royal family of Yingguo actually made a profit of tens of millions of pounds!"

"I think our selling points are no less than that century wedding. As long as we invest in publicity all over the world, we can make a lot of money!"

Boss Jia became more and more excited, and Jon's whole expression changed very interesting.

At first, Jon was confused. Later, Jon was excited, and then he was confused again.

"Mr. Jia, you are really a genius, an unparalleled film marketing genius in the world!!" Jon, who finally reacted, looked at our boss Jia with admiration.

Apart from other things, I really built a titanic, and then crashed the Titanic this week. Finally, I have to make a live broadcast to carry out marketing. What a talented brain that can come up with a plan!

At this moment, Jon Landau admired our boss Jia, and the whole person knelt down.

"Cough! This is actually just my own idea. The key depends on the meaning of director Cameron. If he thinks he has to use special effects to show the Titanic in his heart, he should respect his opinion!" boss Jia finally said, but this is not his politeness, but his sincerity.

Because boss Jia knows that if you really operate according to your own ideas, the last Titanic photographed will certainly not be the Titanic in those years.

At that time, no one knows whether the Titanic can be as popular around the world as it was in those years, so boss Jia decided to respect the meaning of director Cameron. After all, the Titanic was created by him, and boss Jia believes that only he can guarantee the quality of the Titanic.

So Jon Landau called Cameron's place directly. Unexpectedly, just an hour later, Cameron appeared in front of boss Jia.

As soon as the Canadian truck driver arrived, he immediately grabbed boss Jia's shoulder and asked loudly, "Mr. Jia, are you sure you're not kidding? Are you really going to copy a Titanic?"

"Mr. Cameron, don't shake it. It gives me a headache!" boss Jia said with a crooked mouth. "Don't worry, I'm telling the truth and there will be no falsehood!"

Then, boss Jia repeated what he had just said. Cameron heard that the whole man's eyebrows were about to fly.

"Great, this is really great, this is the best idea I've ever heard in my life. We are passers-by, Mr. Jia!!!" Cameron shouted and jumped excitedly like a child. "I've said that the most perfect film can be made only if we really build a titanic and let him sink."

"But I don't think anyone can support my idea all my life. Only you, Mr. Jia Yapeng, you are my God!" Jia Yapeng has become Cameron's God. It can be seen how excited Cameron is now.

"Cough, can this idea be done?" boss Jia asked.

"There's no problem. I firmly agree with this idea. This is the most perfect idea. Now no one can change him!" Cameron tightly grasped boss Jia's hand. "But boss Jia, you'll have to spend money. I'm afraid our shooting cost will rise to more than $500 million. Are you really willing to spend so much money?"

"No, of course I can't afford $500 million, but in fact only $100 million is enough!" boss Jia smiled.

"Can we build the Titanic with 100 million US dollars? Has our American shipbuilding industry returned to the price in the 1950s?" Cameron exclaimed.

"No, it doesn't cost US $100 million to build a ship, but the shooting cost of the whole film is only US $100 million! They had a budget of 130 million, but they can make an extra 35 million," said boss Jia with a smile. Cameron himself was confused until boss Jia told him his money saving plan again.
