An investment of $ 5.6 billion, even if it was changed to the Big Seven of Hollywood, it would not be easy to put it out. For "Titanic" that year, James later took out his director's remuneration, only to ask grandpa to tell his grandma to make up the funds.
In this regard, although it later achieved a global box office of 1.8 billion US dollars after filming, the film history is the first, but no one dares to cooperate with James easily. Before Guo Tai came to him, James had been unemployed for five years.
So James knows how difficult it is to get enough budget. Although the budget of "God" is sufficient, Anne's ex-wife, as a producer, really controlled James' expenses very tightly. That was just $ 300 million in publicity.
The investment of "Avatar" has reached USD 5.6 billion. Even if such a large investment is for the purpose of diversifying risks, I am afraid that no company will promise to fully invest. James never expected that Guo Tailai would be willing to invest alone. Even if the "God of Action" just released, there are still several other investors, and a lot of sponsorship?
Although I have been on vacation these days, James has been nagging. I don't know how Guo Tailai will respond to such a large investment. His best expectation is that Guo Tailai promised to take part of it, or a large part, and the rest will need to find other investors to invest together.
Guo Tailai's hesitation and contemplation also seemed to confirm James's speculation, and James was also anxiously waiting for the result. However, he did not expect that Guo Tailai asked this question.
"What?" James couldn't believe his ears, so he asked again in a hurry.
"Boss!" Lin Jiayi didn't care much, just reminded him in a low voice.
Although Annie didn't speak, her eyes expressed the same meaning. Suddenly investing $ 500 million or $ 600 million. If it is a craftsman entertainment investment, I am afraid it is a risky investment.
"I mean, are you going to ask for cash or a check?" Guo Tailai smiled and repeated the question just now.
Confirming that he heard it right, James suddenly felt a little weak all over, his whole body paused, and he started to smirk in a chair. Is there a difference between cash and check? Most importantly, Guo Tailai promised to invest.
"Boss!" Annie finally said, "Will you still invest in artisan entertainment?"
"Of course!" Guo Tailai laughed. "Annie, believe me, James will definitely surprise us. He never let us down in the movie, didn't he?"
No one else knows, can Guo Tailai still not know? After the release of "Avatar", the global box office was 2.8 billion U.S. dollars, and it was the first in the history of direct airborne movies. Well, the copyright of the Avengers series is now also in the hands of Guo Tailai.
After considering for a while, Annie nodded slowly. James's ex-husband is indeed a scumbag, but it cannot be denied that this guy's movie is really outstanding and so far he has never lost money. If you think so from a professional point of view, you are relieved.
"However, James, don't even think about it that simple." Guo Tai came to see James' happy look and could not help but reminded with a smile: "Conditional."
"What conditions, you say." James lay lazily on the chair half-heartedly, waving lazily to Guo Tailai casually, as long as he promised to give him the full investment, he could do anything. This guy is such a lunatic.
"First of all, it is bound to restrict you with big hands." Guo Tailai laughed: "Annie must be a producer, and every expense you have to convince Annie, make Annie nod."
This is not the first time that Anne and James have collaborated. Far from Terminators 1 and 2, they did not cooperate with each other in the previous "Death". The two were very satisfied with each other's professionalism. James was not at all. Oppose and nod directly. The two have worked together so many times. I'm afraid that it will be a break for another unfamiliar producer. The hot character of the tyrant on the set, James, is really another disaster.
"Second, such a large investment will definitely introduce other investors and sponsors." Guo Tailai actually said to Annie: "But you don't have to worry about the funds, how much others invest, and the rest are counted by me. "If no one invests, I'll do everything."
Will James have an opinion? How can it be? Instead, Annie heard Guo Tailai's meaning, and nodded very usefully, after all, the boss considered his own thoughts.
"Third, James, part of the filming and shooting of this film, I hope it will be carried out in Huaxia." Guo Tailai did not hide his selfishness: "In addition, I hope there are Huaxia actors in the lineup, not many, one man and one woman. Enough, but not a villain. "
"Do you want Finix to star?" James thought he guessed Guo Tailai's idea and shook his head. "It's best not to do it! There is no problem in framing and shooting, and there is no problem using Huaxia actors. Starring, this film focuses on special effects, not the female lead, and the male and female protagonists will not be more attractive, and Phoenix is not suitable. "
"No, Finix has his own business." Guo Tai smiled. "Just do what you plan."
"I'm fine!" James said immediately. Isn't that just adding two Chinese characters? Too easy. In the era of space immigration, there are two Chinese people in the alien army. How normal is it? Researchers or helicopter pilots can do whatever they want.
"I still have it." Guo Tailai immediately followed him, watching James frowning and looking at himself, Guo Tailai laughed: "This is another. I know your relationship with imax is very good. There is a theater in Huaxia. Belonging to the father of Phoenix, I want this theater line to be converted into a hall in accordance with the imax3d giant screen, so you must help with the necessary equipment and technical guidance. "
"The output of the imax projector is very low now." James suddenly understood, but said something a little embarrassed.
"So you need to complete the modification before your new film is released." Guo Tai said: "I know you plan to spend several years on production. In a few years, there will always be enough production, right? Besides, this is the order for them Things, I think you should ask them for a commission. "
"I try to communicate with them." James thought right, nodded, and agreed. A few years should be enough.
"The last one." Guo Tailai stretched out a finger and said his last requirement: "You know, I also bought Marvel, and I am still a fan of Iron Man. So after the first draft of Iron Man's script was released, , James, you have to help me professionally, from plot to special effects, of course, if you are willing to be a producer, it will be better. "
"No problem at all!" James nodded without even thinking about it this time. Guo Tailai's favorite Iron Man asked him to help, even without the investment of "Avatar", from a personal perspective, he would be happy to help.
