Yang Cheng feels that this book is not suitable for commercial movies, but it can be used for awards. With the master's skills, the reputation is definitely not bad.
But judging from the experience of Yang Cheng in the past few years, there is basically no need to count on the box office, which is tens of millions, and there is almost no overseas market. Who cares how much wronged you, an American, are?
Fortunately, the investment is not high, and it costs 10 million to die. If you save some, 5-7 million will be almost won. This way, plus the cost of publicity, it will cost at least 50 million at the box office to pay back. If the box office loses, it is still It will affect the sale of surrounding copyrights.
However, looking at Xiao Lizi's enthusiasm, it is estimated that even if he does not invest, he will have to pay for it, but the purpose of pulling Yang Cheng is to smooth out the risk. After all, no one's money is brought by the wind.
With Xiao Lizi's ability to analyze the script, would he fail to see the commercial prospects of this script?
"Jason, let's put it this way, my future must gradually go behind the scenes, so I have to try to make all kinds of films, including this kind of partial documentary album."
Yang Orange smiled, "Are you asking me to pay for your experience?"
"Ha~ you can think so too~" Xiao Lizi was sincere.
Yang Cheng said in deep thought, "Well, when the book comes out, you show it to Donna. If she thinks it can be done, then do it."
Xiao Lizi thought for a while and didn't ask any more questions, anyway, the full version of the book hasn't come out yet, and it's too late to talk about it later.
At this time, White ran over and said, "A wildfire broke out again~"
Little Lizi curled his lips, "What do the fire brigade do? Wild fires have become habitual incidents~"
Yang Cheng shrugged, "Is it serious? Now in spring, when the rainfall is concentrated, how can wildfires happen?"
Xiao Lizi was also very puzzled, "Yes, isn't it usually August or September?"
White shook his head, "The cause is still unknown, but most of it is caused by human error~"
"A bunch of idiots~" Xiao Lizi cursed.
"What to do? Are we going to evacuate?"
"Not for the time being, the wildfire is still far away from us, but it won't be long before the air will be polluted~"
Little plum hates this kind of thing the most, "Let's go, there is no benefit to staying here except smoking ash, I am going to the Caribbean island, do you want to be together?"
Yang Orange shook his head, "I won't go. I just returned to the United States and I was too lazy to toss. If it doesn't work, I will return to New York~"
"Well, I don't care about you, let's slip away first~"
"Let's go coward~"
California faces the Pacific Ocean to the west and has a typical Mediterranean climate. The year is divided into two seasons: a dry season and a rainy season. The dry season in California is from August to November each year. At this time, the weather is dry and windy, which causes frequent mountain fires.
Because there have been wildfires every year in recent years, the locals have given this period a very ‘Hollywood’ name-Mountain Fire Season.
But now it is not in March or before the wildfire season begins, how come there are wildfires?
Isn't it man-made arson? This kind of thing is not uncommon before.
Not long after Xiao Lizi left, Yang Cheng came to the TV and watched reports in the news that the wildfire had been spreading for 3 days.
The host said that this year is drier than previous years, and there is not enough precipitation in the rainy season, but lightning strikes occurred in the market. It is suspected that this mountain fire was caused by lightning strikes.
Mountain fires are hard to extinguish, this is just the beginning. The disaster area reaches thousands of square kilometers every year.
At present, California has put thousands of firefighters to put out the fire, but under the monstrous fire, these thousands of people can do nothing.
Under the management of the California Fire Department, in the next two days, more than 95% of personnel and equipment will be put into fire fighting work.
In the past, a considerable part of the personnel involved in fighting wildfires were prisoners in California. There is no alternative. The fire brigade has too few personnel available and wildfires spread too quickly. To weigh the gains and losses, it is more appropriate to use prisoners.
However, excessive reliance on prisoners for fire fighting has neglected the recruitment and training of full-time firefighters. This is where ZF across California has been criticized. After all, every time a fire is rescued, prisoners escape from prison.
Yang Cheng listened to the report on the TV, and said to Luo Yue without looking back, "Let's go to New York tomorrow morning. You also tell Lin Ximan, let her go with her, and you will come back when the wildfire is gone~"
Luo Yue scanned the TV with a probe, "Will the mountain fire burn over?"
"It's hard to say, but it's better to prepare early. Even if it doesn't come over, the air quality in the next few days will be worrying."
"Okay, I'll talk to Manman and let her go with us~"
. . .
The richest people always care about their own fate. As for money, it is really not that important. You can still make money without money. Who will spend the money without life?
So in the current disaster, Los Angeles Airport is blocked!
Yes, this is not a joke in cross talk, it is a real incident, and Los Angeles is blocked!
The ground is blocked, the air is also blocked, and the private jets lining up to take off are infringing on the takeoff time of civil aviation, but there is no way. Compared with the contribution of civil aviation, a private jet staying at the airport for a year is millions of dollars. How much can you contribute? This account is better than anyone else.
Of course, the airport can't do too much. On average, no two private planes take off, one civil aviation plane is successfully released.
Yang Cheng’s Jason was also in line at this time. They arrived late. There were already dozens of planes in front of them, including civil aviation and private jets. Now even if Yang Cheng has the ability to reach the sky, he can’t make it out. Honestly waiting.
But they weren't in a hurry, anyway, they would definitely be able to fly. The mountain fire was still a long way away from them, it was not bad at this moment.
Luo Yue and Lin Ximan were studying wedding dresses there, and the designer sent several sets of samples.
Yang Cheng was bored and ran over to Hansen to sit down and talk to the bodyguards.
After waiting for nearly 40 minutes, the tower was finally released and the plane began to taxi slowly.
Yang Cheng exhaled, "I can finally fly~"
Andrew joked, "A wildfire burned all the wealthy people in California."
Yang Orange also laughed, "Yes, rich people are afraid of death, and I am afraid of death too~"
"So the boss is rich~"
"Shit, do I still need to talk about my money?"
"Haha~" The bodyguards laughed.
Taking advantage of his emotions, Hansen said at this moment, "Boss, after returning to New York this time, can I take two days off?"
Yang Cheng was stunned, "Why are you suddenly asking for leave? Something happened at home?"
"It's not a family matter, or I suddenly remembered my former comrades-in-arms, and wanted to see it~" When Hansen said this, a sadness appeared unconsciously on his face, obviously thinking of the sad past.
Yang Cheng guessed that it might be related to the conversation with Lewis when he was in the UK.
Brings back his bad memories.
Yang Cheng considers himself a good boss. After returning to New York, he shouldn't go out in the short term. Andrew also followed, so he happily agreed to Hansen's request for leave, "Yes, just give you one week, my side Nothing else~"
"Two days is enough for the boss, it won't take that long~"
Yang Cheng waved her hand, "Watch the arrangement by yourself~"
. . .
After arriving in New York, Hansen said goodbye to Yang Cheng and bought a plane ticket to South Carolina. It seems that his comrade-in-arms lived there.
The way home was a little dull, Yang Cheng asked curiously, "Andrew, do you know who Hansen is going to meet?"
Andrew hesitated, "I'm not sure, but if you go to South Carolina, you should go to the wife of his comrade-in-arms who was killed by mistake~"
Yang Cheng was shocked, "Manslaughter?"
Andrew gritted his teeth, "I don't know much, but once Hansen was drunk and accidentally leaked.
In his last mission that year, due to intelligence omissions, numerous deaths and injuries were caused. Their team was beaten out of the establishment. But what really made him think about retirement was because of his own decision-making mistakes, causing his comrades to fall under his gun. . "
Yang Cheng listened very eagerly, and sat up straight and asked, "What's the matter? With Hansen's marksmanship, manslaughter is impossible, right?"
"No, under normal circumstances, but in that operation, his comrade-in-arms was accidentally captured and carried by others. The comrade-in-arms asked Hansen to shoot. Hansen believed that his marksmanship eventually shot, but the accident happened again. The gangster on the opposite side reacted quickly and hid behind his comrades almost at the same time as pressing the trigger."
Needless to say, Yang Cheng could have guessed the rest of the matter. He was so embarrassed that Hansen had never expected such a story.
It seems that Bingwang can never be trained casually!
"Boss, don't tell Hansen about this. This is the deepest secret in his heart." Andrew ordered.
"Of course, I won't talk about it. Apart from you and me, no one else will know about this."
Fortunately, Luo Yue sat with Lin Ximan in the back car.
After returning home, both parents were away. Old John expressed their warmest welcome to Lin Ximan on their behalf and arranged a spacious bedroom for her.
Luo Yue accompanied Lin Ximan to choose a room, Yang Cheng called old John, "Let’s have Chinese food tonight, tell my parents~"
"No problem~" Old John certainly wouldn't refuse.
"In addition, for my wedding in July, I hope you will be there to help me entertain guests. Carson and White will both go there~"
"No problem jason, even if you don't tell me, I will help, UU reading will give me, I promise that all guests can enjoy a perfect wedding."
"Of course, I believe you, you are professional."
"By the way, Jason, I have something to tell you. I found that the growth rate of the US housing market has slowed down significantly, and I feel that a turning point in the housing market is about to appear."
Yang Cheng frowned, "US real estate is about to collapse again? It is less than 10 years since 2008~"
"Yes, what is even more worrying is that the housing prices in the hottest cities in the United States have not only seen insufficient growth momentum, but have even slowed down faster than the United States, or they have simply shown signs of decline.
"Huh? Which city do you mean?"
"Seattle! A 13% drop in half a year!"
Yang Orange was startled, "So much?"
Old John nodded solemnly, "So I have to remind you, should we tighten our US real estate investment?"
