v10 Chapter 720： Surprise!

"Although this movie is good and the box office is good, after all, when it was released overseas, the results were mediocre. """ Lorraine shook his head.

Thinking about it, he continued to look down.

Soon, two movies quickly attracted his attention! !

""2012", "Detective Sherlock Holmes"?!" Lorraine was startled and fixed his gaze on the names of these two films!

Are you kidding me, these two are two of the most memorable super commercial blockbusters of 2009! The first is a special effects blockbuster filmed as a gimmick for the 2012 end of the world predicted by Maya. It is a standard Hollywood production. Lorraine is very clear about the box office results of this movie in 2009!

And the other... That "Detective Sherlock Holmes" also brings together a lot of inevitable elements, the detective charm of Holmes, and the super box office appeal of Robert Downey Jr.!

Seeing this, Lorraine didn't think too much, and without saying anything, he raised the phone and called Wang Lei back.

Soon, Wang Lei's respectful voice came over the phone: "Hello, Dong Luo? What's your order?"

"Mr. Wang, regarding the funding of "2012" and "Detective Sherlock Holmes", we can try it, as long as it does not exceed the budget too much." Lorraine ordered.

I didn’t think that Wang Lei was taken aback when he heard the words, and then replied: “Dong Luo, I’m afraid this won’t work... It’s true that I asked about these two movies as soon as I got them, but there were too many bids. It's late now..."

"It's a bit late?" Lorraine sighed helplessly, this was in his own expectation.

"But... Luo Dong, you see in the data sheet, there is a movie called "Dragon Ball: Evolution", this movie is adapted from the super popular Japanese animation, and there is a role of a mentor by our Chinese superstar As Mr. Zhou played, I feel...this film is suitable for our investment. I just asked about it. Now this film is continuing to bid for investment and sponsorship."

"Oh? "Dragon Ball: Evolution"?" Lorraine raised his brow.

But the next second he smiled helplessly.

If you don't have any memory of this movie, that would be great. I guess I will order investment without hesitation. Because this movie has Mr. Zhou, a Chinese superstar, as the box office guarantee, at least it will be released in the Asian region, and it will still be good. In addition, it is adapted from a super popular comic in Asia. At least, it will not At a loss. But...in fact, it wasn't like that. According to Lorraine's memory, the film ended up losing out at the box office, and its reputation was extremely poor.

"I am not optimistic about this movie, Mr. Wang, what we need... is a movie that is shocking enough, at least a commercial blockbuster of the same level as "Detective Sherlock Holmes"." As he said, Lorraine had no eyes. I'm idle, continue to look down.

Finally, his eyes suddenly lit up!

This... is this? ? !

There was a helpless look on Lorraine's face, and suddenly he lifted up!

"You're not mistaken... this movie is called... "Pandora Planet"?? Is this a coincidence??"

In Lorraine’s impression, there was a very shocking movie in the last life, a movie that caused a worldwide movie revolution! It's called... "God Goes Down to Earth", also called "Avatar"! And in that movie, the place where the story happened is [Pandora Planet]! Is this a coincidence?

Lorraine deeply remembers that this movie was only released in China in 2010, but now it is only the beginning of 2009, and it will be released in another year. Is the name of the movie set different now because it has not been finalized yet? Think about it, too, there will be a year before it will be released, and there may be changes at any time.

It’s just that Lorraine didn’t expect that...this 3D production that later shocked the world’s first highest-invested 3D production also required overseas funding.

Thinking about it, Lorraine asked: "President Wang, why doesn't this "Pandora Planet" have detailed remarks? It's just a movie title?"

Mr. Wang heard the words: "Oh, Luo Dong like this. This movie is expected to be released at the end of this year and early 2010. Before that, the movie had already started to be shot, and the funding cycle was too long. , The investment amount of many sponsors has been included. Although this may be a big production, the cycle is too long. I think we are not suitable for investing in this film. Therefore, for the detailed remarks of this film, the relevant departments have not Do not take it too seriously."

Lorraine shook his head when he heard this, secretly saying that even no matter how wise decision-maker talent, there will be mistakes. If this movie is really the world's first most expensive 3D giant, then it is not to be missed. Is it a rare opportunity?

"Haha, Mr. Wang, sometimes, don't be confused by some superficial phenomena and rumors. ——Within five minutes, I want the details of this "Pandora"."

"Yes! Luo Dong!"

After hanging up the phone, Lorraine waited quietly, but in less than five minutes, the call came again.

"Hey, Luo Dong, the detailed information has been inquired. ——This movie is directed by James Cameron, the director of "Titanic". The plot setting is about [Pandora Planet]. ] Story!..." Wang Lei said conscientiously.

But the following related information is not so important to Lorraine. The important thing is that he knows that this is the 3D movie directed by James Cameron! It was later "Avatar"!

"President Wang, how much foreign investment is needed for this movie now?" Lorraine asked.

President Wang was stunned when he was asked, because he didn't take the movie very seriously, so he needed to check again. This time Lorraine’s call did not hang up. After waiting for a few minutes, Wang Lei on the other side of the phone said again: "Dong Luo, I found it. The director of this film, James Cameron, has an approximate budget of 3. Starting with 100 million US dollars, it will be almost 400 million US dollars. It is said that he has now received an investment of about 150 million US dollars, which is still 250 million US dollars from his total budget."

"Hehe, only 400 million dollars is needed? That's not enough." Lorraine suddenly smiled when he heard the words. In his impression, the final total budget of this "Avatar" is as high as more than 500 million US dollars. Now James Cameron did not ask for too much budget investment, mainly because he did not dare to speak loudly for fear of scaring away all investors. In addition, the movie is still being produced, and how much additional budget will be needed later, which is not currently expected by James.

"Dong Luo, what are you talking about?" Hearing Lorraine saying that 400 million dollars is not enough, I was shocked. What does Mayor Luo think? 400 million dollars is not enough? This is nearly 2.6 billion Chinese currency! If Mayor Luo Dong adds up to 400 million US dollars for James Cameron’s movie, this will require almost 1.6 billion Chinese coins!

Investing about 1.6 billion yuan in a single film, this... Isn't this too generous?

Thinking of this, Wang Lei took a deep breath and asked, "Dong Luo...what do you mean? You mean...are we going to invest in this movie?"

Lorraine smiled: "Yes."

"Dong Luo... With all due respect... the director of this film, James Cameron, is a special effects fanatic. He is also known as the'Budget Overspending King' in Hollywood. Luo Dong, is making a movie. , It is risky... if we invest too much money in one go..."

Before Wang Lei finished speaking, Lorraine smiled and said, "Hehe, isn't his "Titanic" the global box office history champion? As far as I know, director James Cameron is called a "budget overrun" At the same time as the king, he was also called the king of the world. I can rest assured to invest in him."

"But... even the film directed by the great director James is still risky. If the box office of this movie is not good after it comes out, it will be a big loss..." Wang Lei wanted to say something, but then he took a deep breath. After a sigh of relief, seeing Lorraine didn't seem to have the intention to change his mind, he said, "Well, Luo Dong, the decision is up to you. How much are you going to invest?... The subordinate's opinion is that it is good to invest up to 100 million US dollars... "

"No." Without waiting for Wang Lei to finish, Lorraine vetoed.

Wang Lei could hear the determination in Lorraine’s words, and asked cautiously: "Dong Luo, do you mean...adding all the vacancies of his highest budget? That is a high investment of about 1.6 billion Hua Xia coins... …"

"No, Mr. Wang, you misunderstood." Lorraine smiled.

Hearing this, Wang Lei sighed with deep relief. It seems that their chairman Luo is not crazy yet.

But how did you know that when Wang Lei was relieved, Lorraine suddenly changed his voice: "I want to add 500 million US dollars to this movie of James Cameron. Well, to fill the vacancy, we need The investment is 350 million U.S. dollars, which is Huaxia coins... almost 2.3 billion."

"..." On the other side of the phone, President Wang's mouth was wide open, dumbfounded, and he hardly believed his ears.

Investing a full 2.3 billion for a movie... Chairman Luo... Is it really thoughtful? Or is he just for fun? ?

……　……

Lorraine had the final say for the Rock Group.

The Chinese Vision Film Company is quite opposed to Lorraine's decision. However, even if these oppositions are louder, Lorraine still has to stick to his decision.

After Lorraine’s order went down, almost three days later, from the Rock Group’s name, a full 2.3 billion Chinese currency funds were transferred to the "Pandora" led by James Cameron in Hollywood. Under the public account of the "Planet" crew.
