The perfect future of rebirth

"This Ye Jing is really courageous."

Zhao Fusheng gritted his teeth while watching.

"Eh..." Wu Sijie was puzzled: "Chairman, Mr. Ye's idea should be correct, right? MGM is a large American film and television company, and Hollywood is also registered. Let's cooperate with them. Isn't it a good thing?"

Obviously, he didn't understand why Zhao Fusheng was angry.

Zhao Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that his reaction was too strong.

Perhaps in their eyes, how could an international director like Wu Baige, plus one of the eight major Hollywood companies like MGM, lose money with a proper big production and Hollywood blockbuster?

But Zhao Fusheng knew very well that this "Wind Talker" not only failed to make money, but also bankrupted MGM.

From then on, Wu Baige no longer had a foothold in Hollywood, and had to return to China to trick mainland investors.

Only then did "Up and Down the Red Cliff" and "Taiping Wheel" come into being.

"Let's talk about it at the company."

Zhao Fusheng closed the folder and said to Wu Sijie.

Soon, the car arrived at the headquarters of the Future Group. Zhao Fusheng took the elevator and went directly to his office. Ye Jing was already waiting at the door.

"What's the matter?" Looking at Zhao Fusheng strangely, Ye Jing didn't understand that it was a good thing to reach a cooperation intention with MGM, why Zhao Fusheng reacted so strongly.

Waving his hand, Zhao Fusheng said, "We don't vote for this movie."

"why?"

Ye Jing was quite puzzled: "I know that the risk of such a large investment is not small, but the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity, we are not gods, it is impossible to know which movie will definitely make money, and cooperate with a company like MGM , having a great director like Wu Baige is undoubtedly the best guarantee."

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand: "You can't say that, even if you know which movie has a high box office, it's not so easy to get mixed up in Hollywood."

Ye Jing was stunned: "How do you know?"

Zhao Fusheng smiled. When he went to the United States, he really asked someone about Hollywood. I have to say that Hollywood is darker than China's entertainment industry.

Glancing at Ye Jing, Zhao Fusheng said indifferently: "Not to mention Wu Baige's director level, just for MGM, do you really think Hollywood's money is so easy to make? Small investors like us with no connections, Wanting to get back the investment is simply a dream."

"How is it possible?" Ye Jing obviously didn't believe Zhao Fusheng's words.

"You can't even see the real accounts of the producers, distributors, and theaters, so why do you get the money?" Zhao Fusheng said angrily, "Don't forget, we are Chinese!"

Ye Jing frowned, he really didn't expect Zhao Fusheng's reaction to be so strong.

Seeing Ye Jing's expression, Zhao Fusheng sighed silently in his heart. He knew that everyone in the Chinese film and television industry had a Hollywood dream, but the problem is that Hollywood is not so easy to get into.

Back in the United States, Zhao Fusheng specially asked Tan Kaixuan to help him find a manager who was well versed in the inside story of Hollywood. From his mouth, Zhao Fusheng understood how deep the water in Hollywood was.

In that person's words, film investment, to put it bluntly, is a gamble.No one will know the preferences and tastes of the audience in advance, even the eight major film companies will have big productions that lose money, let alone other small companies.In Hollywood, no one can guarantee whether a movie will lose money or make money.

Furthermore, Hollywood likes to trap investors most.

There are always people who think that after they take the money and sign a contract, they can sit and wait for the film to be successfully released and the money will be shared.

Hehe, where in this world is there such a good thing, if someone just makes an account, the investor can lose all their money.

For example, during the audit, you find that a set cost 50 US dollars, and if you ask what it is for, they will say that it is a house used as a background.

What about the house?

After filming, it was dismantled.

Then if you continue to check, you will find that this building was built by a company of a senior executive of the issuer, and there will be more gossip after that.

When Chen Kexin of Hong Kong Island filmed "Certificate of Fame", it was Bernard who was so pitiful that Yu Dongkeng wanted to cry but had no tears.

This is still the distributor, not to mention the theater chain, the pit inside is even deeper.

Generally speaking, as a small investor, if you want to make a living in Hollywood, you should not consider big productions. The only way is to gamble on those small and medium-budget movies.

For example, the cost of investing in the movie "Chain Saw" only needs to be no more than 50 U.S. dollars, but the income can exceed 1000 million U.S. dollars.

This is the most successful investment case.

But such an opportunity does not come often, it depends on luck.

But Zhao Fusheng doesn't think that the future film and television will have such luck.

"Furthermore, having said that, do you think Wu Baige is still the same as Wu Baige when he was filming "The True Colors of Heroes"?" Zhao Fusheng paused, looked at Ye Jing helplessly and asked.

Ye Jing was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, never expected that Zhao Fusheng would say such a thing.

Looking at his confused eyes, Zhao Fusheng knew that this guy, like most people, did not see through the true face of Wu Baige.

"He is an internationally renowned director, I..." Ye Jing looked at Zhao Fusheng, wanting to explain something.

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand: "If he is really as powerful as you said, then let me ask you why MGM didn't seek a partner in Hollywood, but why did they come to China to find us?"

The moment Ye Jing heard this sentence, the expression on Ye Jing's face changed.

Chapter 1436

Zhao Fusheng can understand Ye Jing's current state.

Sometimes people are like this, it is very common to see Mount Tai with a blind eye.

Often we always like to ridicule those who cannot see the truth of the matter because of immediate interests, but in fact, it is just that the authorities are confused by the bystanders.

If you really put yourself in that situation, our performance may not be much better.

Just like now, Zhao Fusheng actually understands that if he doesn't have the foresight, who would refuse to cooperate with a big director like Wu Baige and a top Hollywood company like MGM?

In fact, Zhao Fusheng also felt a little strange, logically speaking, "Wind Talker" should have been released a long time ago, but in this life, the filming was delayed until now.

The reason why he knows so well is that in his previous life, when he happened to read a book, he saw an introduction to this movie. This movie, which was supposed to be released in 2000, had an investment of more than [-] million US dollars. , which does not include publicity and other expenses.

The results of it?

The global box office is more than 7000 million US dollars. Because of this "Wind Talker", not only the great Chinese director Wu Baige's status in Hollywood has plummeted, and there is no possibility of turning around.What's worse is that the publisher MGM has been in a slump since then, and after the top executives took the blame and resigned, the company struggled for three years before being acquired by Sony at a high price.

This large-scale war film with "big investment, big scenes, and big lineup" is still relatively vigorous. It also has the complexity and cruelty of war and thinking about human nature, but it is such a war film with "violent aesthetics" that has almost no audience. to cheer.

Therefore, when Zhao Fusheng saw that report, his soul almost trembled.

What a joke, if the 5000 million is invested, doesn't that mean that the future of film and television will face the same ending as MGM?
