"Agreed?" Xu Cun asked in surprise.

"When you got together with that traitor Zou Wenhuai, you helped him make a movie called "Fu Xing Gao Zhao", which made him a lot of money. Now, we are getting together again, do you have to express it too?" Shao A husband said.

"Uncle Six, I am inherently stupid, can you tell me what you think?" Xu Cun pretended to be stupid.

"We Shaw Brothers are ready to make a large sci-fi comedy. You come to be the director, let's work together, and use this film to hit Hollywood, how about that?" Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and explained.

Hearing Shao Yifu say the words "large-scale sci-fi comedy", Xu Cun immediately thought that the movie Shao Yifu said was one of the giant pits in the history of Hong Kong film industry - "Interstellar Blunt".

Then, 10,000 grass and mud horses floated in Xu Cun's heart!

"Grass! This old guy actually wants me to take over the giant pit of "Interstellar Blunt Tire"!" Xu Cun zài cursed in his heart.

After calming down for a while, Xu Cun said: "Uncle Six, you always dug Zhang Guoming from me, didn't you just make this movie? Why do you want me to take over now?"

Xiangjiang is too small, and the Hong Kong film circle is even smaller. Even if Xu Cun is not a reborn person, as long as he asks a little, he can know that Zhang Guoming went to Shaw Brothers to make this so-called large-scale sci-fi comedy. Therefore, Shao Yifu was not at all surprised by Xu Cunzhi. He smiled and said, "That kid is a bit talented, but his strength and fame are far from yours. Moreover, if you come to make this alien movie, it will definitely sell well in North America."

Xu Cun knew exactly what Shao Yifu had in mind - Shao Yifu just wanted to use Xu Cun's name and the popularity of "ET" to make a follow-up movie, and then use this follow-up movie to make money.

Xu Cun did not despise Shao Yifu's behavior. On the contrary, he admired Shao Yifu's vision - from the perspective of making money, this is definitely a good idea! Moreover, the feasibility is very high.

But Xu Cun has limited things in his stomach, and he really can't make another good movie that is even half as good as "ET". Therefore, Xu Cun couldn't make this money, and he couldn't ruin the tall image that he had built up with great difficulty.

Therefore, Xu Cun said: "Uncle Six, I sold the copyright of "ET", you should have heard of it?"

Of course, Yifu Shao had heard of this, and it was precisely because he heard that Xu Cun made $65 million by selling the copyright of "ET", that Yifu Shao made up his mind to merge Shaw Brothers and DreamWorks.

Although it is not clear what purpose Xu Cun had for bringing this up at this time, Shao Yifu still said with admiration: "A Cun, you play your hands so beautifully, it greatly increases the prestige of our G people!"

Xu Cun first said modestly: "I'm just a blind cat and a dead mouse." Then he added: "Alan Ryder, the general manager of 20th Century Fox Film Company, told me that as long as I shoot for 20th Century Fox Film Company, For the sequel to ET, he raised the royalty to $75 million."

With Shao Yifu's old-fashioned knowledge, Xu Cun didn't mention this to show him off, but to tell him Shao Yifu, as long as Xu Cun is willing to shoot the sequel of "ET", someone will pay 10 million Dollar.

In this regard, Shao Yifu smiled dryly and said: "A Cun, your current salary has risen to 10 million US dollars per movie? For one movie, 40 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars will be credited, I see you. Don't be the boss of a film company, just be a full-time director, so you can be safe and make a lot of money, how wonderful!"

"The sequel to "ET" is a special case. Apart from 20th Century Fox, how else could a film company give me such a high salary? The filmmakers in Hollywood asked me to make the most movies and only gave me three offers. One million dollars a movie plus 1% of the box office share is just a salary." Xu Cun laughed.

After listening to Xu Cun's self-declaration of his worth, Shao Yifu calculated in his heart: "Three million US dollars is 14-5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office share must be at least 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for Shaw Brothers. Twenty films have been made..."

In an instant, Shao Yifu lost more than half of his interest in asking Xu Cun to direct "Interstellar Blunt".

"I'm too expensive to make movies. The production cost of "ET" is nearly 120 million Hong Kong dollars... Sometimes, I can't help myself thinking, what if "ET" fails, will I? So it becomes nothing?" Xu Cun said again leisurely.

Hearing Xu Cun say that the production cost of "ET" was 120 million Hong Kong dollars, Shao Yifu's mouth twitched unconsciously! Immediately afterwards, he basically gave up the idea of ​​asking Xu Cun to make a movie.

In order not to pick up the huge pit of "Interstellar Blunt Tire", Xu Cun made another snarky statement: ""ET" has brought my understanding of aliens to the extreme, I am afraid that I will never be able to shoot such a high level in my life. Alien movie."

Xu Cun's remarks made Shao Yifu completely reject the idea of ​​asking Xu Cun to film "Interstellar Blunt", but Shao Yifu couldn't immediately swallow what he just said. Therefore, he said with a displeased face: "A Cun, if you don't want to help Shaw Brothers make a movie, just say it straight, although we Shaw Brothers can't compare to the eight major Hollywood film companies, but the production cost of 100 million to 200 million Hong Kong dollars is still available. !"

"Sixth uncle, calm down, listen to my thoughts first, it's not too late for you to get angry again!" Xu Cun laughed.

"Hollywood blockbusters are all about special effects. As long as the special effects are in place, the box office will never be too bad... I have a special effects team in Hollywood, the special effects team that made "ET". This team is definitely the top special effects team in the world today. One of the team, as long as Uncle Six has any needs, I will let them report to Shaw Brothers immediately. In addition, I also have a director with a very good level - he is a rare film all-rounder who has gone to war with me. Hollywood, how to use the special effects team to make movies is a hundred times better than Zhang Guoming, if you have a place where you need him to work, I will let him report to Shaw Brothers." Xu Cun added.

The special effects team mentioned by Xu Cun is a new digital domain formed by the merger of Stan Winston Studio and the digital domain. In order to win over Stan Winston Studio, Xu Cun invested five million dollars and gave Stan Winston a 30 percent stake, making him the second-largest shareholder and managing director of the new digital space.

The director Xu Cun said was Chen Xunqi - A Xunqi especially likes to get in touch with new things~www.mtlnovel.com~ has a strong ability to accept, so Chen Xunqi learned the most things during this time with Xu Cun in Hollywood .

Xu Cun believes that if Chen Xunqi replaces the famous director Erwu Zaizhang, "Interstellar Blunt", and the special effects of "Interstellar Blunt" are done by the digital domain, "Interstellar Blunt" may not be possible. It can't be a blockbuster movie.

Shao Yifu was very moved by Xu Cun's compromise plan - he pondered a little, and said, "How much does it cost to make this movie with your special effects team and the director you mentioned?"

"It depends on how far Uncle Six you want to do - if you want to achieve the level of "ET", the special effects will only need four or five million dollars. If you want to achieve the level of "Star Wars" To the extent, it would cost at least tens of millions of dollars to do special effects." Xu Cun said.

Xu Cun's words made Shao Yifu feel a pain in the flesh - he felt that the movie world had become too crazy! Crazy to the point where he, who has been in the film industry all his life, feels unfamiliar! He really couldn't figure it out, how could a movie have to spend so much money on special effects?

Speaking of which, Shao Yifu is also quite interesting - with a net worth of nearly 10 billion, he can spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for charity, but he is not willing to waste even a penny on movies. His character is also one of the reasons for the decline of Shaw Brothers.

but--

In any case, Shao Yifu is one of the best movie tycoons in Hong Kong now, so he still has a little bit of courage - after pondering a little, Shao Yifu made up his mind and said: "A Cun, let them come, this time I will spend money. At least 50 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot this sci-fi comedy!"
