Regarding investing in movies, Lu Xucheng really didn't just talk about it.
Soon, he handed a script to Lin Yu.
"Isn't it... a science fiction theme?" Lin Yu felt his head hurt after turning a few pages. He spread his hands and said, "Brother, do you know that science fiction themes, or sci-fi themes in the big universe, are all made by Americans?"
Lu Xucheng: "Can't it be filmed in other countries?"
"That's not true." Lin Yu opened his phone and searched for a few movies for him. "Look, these are all classic science fiction movies, especially these ones, which are still being made after decades."
"And this one, although it's not a big universe, it's a story about earth heroes and aliens fighting to protect the earth." Lin Yu became more and more excited as he talked, "Who doesn't have a dream of being a hero? Who doesn't want to make a shocking movie?" It’s a science fiction movie, but we don’t have that kind of technology.”
Lu Xucheng raised his eyebrows: "We can let Americans do it for us."
"Do you know how much they charge?" Lin Yu rolled his eyes: "If you find a studio in China, it will cost you 300,000 yuan. Next to you, Bangzi Country will cost you 500,000 yuan. In the United States, he can ask you for tens of millions."
Lu Xucheng: "Then give them tens of millions."
"... My brother, are you sure?" Lin Yu almost grabbed Lu Xucheng and shook him, "The investment in science fiction itself is huge. If you want to achieve the same level as the United States, it will cost at least one billion. Up."
His face fell: "Originally we wanted to make a movie ourselves, but now we have to raise investment with so much money. The point is that not many people are willing to invest in this kind of movie. Boss, let's change it! Don't be too serious with other people's movies. We can definitely shoot a fairy tale, mythology, etc. It will have more national characteristics."
"No, that's it." Lu Xucheng insisted, "You don't need to find anyone else, I'll give you 2 billion."
Lin Yu: "Dad! Do you still lack a son?"
Then Lin Yu ran to Uncle Man like crazy. In the next few days, everyone around him heard him mumbling.
"Fuck, he's so rich, so rich, so rich..."
He is also a rich second generation who is just waiting to die. He still has to receive pocket money every month, and he is forced to save all his New Year dividends. Why is Lu Xucheng so rich
The same question as him was the kid Lang Sesu.
"Have you invested all over the world?" That day, everyone went to Lu Xucheng's house to read the script and discuss the final investment. Sesu asked when she saw Lu Xucheng.
"Almost." Lu Xucheng was telling the truth. Jarvis could calculate the data of the stock market, futures, and various trading operations. It was too easy for him to make money.
Money on earth was meaningless to him. He had already thought about leaving all the money to Sesu when he left.
"Ouch, take me with you! Take me with you!" Ever since Lu Xucheng could take out 2 billion without blinking an eye, his status in Lin Yu's heart has risen from a very powerful boss to a god...
"Go find Jarvis." Lu Xucheng threw him to Zhinao.
Uncle Man immediately raised his hand: "Take me one."
Jarvis prepared snacks, fruits and various drinks for everyone, and a bunch of people sat around the living room and read the script.
"Although the story is not innovative, the story of this kind of movie is secondary. The main thing is the special effects." Uncle Man was the first to speak.
Xie Ting continued: "Actually, the story is not bad. This typical heroic theme is very suitable for foreign aesthetics, as long as it does not collapse in the later stage."
Ximiao didn't express an opinion, only Se Se pouted and didn't know what to think.
"Speak up if you have an idea." Lu Xucheng handed her a piece of mango.
Sese threw down the script: "Why is there no emotional line?"
Not to mention there is no emotional line, not even a female protagonist. No! There isn’t even a female supporting role. The only woman is the fiancée whose engagement was broken off by the male protagonist.
This story by Lu Xucheng takes place in a distant place called the Vormir Galaxy. The male protagonist is a prince of the Federal Republic. He graduated from the military academy and went to practice as an intern, but he was accidentally involved in a conspiracy and battled wits with interstellar pirates. , of course the good guys win in the end. The prince killed the pirates and returned home.
"How can you attract girls if you don't have a love connection?" Sese said angrily, "Is the prince a straight man?"
The corner of Lu Xucheng's mouth twitched slightly. He knew what straight man meant, but he refused to use this word on himself.
"Not to mention attracting girls, men are also willing to look at beautiful women!" Lin Yu didn't dare to say it before, but now he took the opportunity to say, "There must be uniforms here, and tight-fitting uniforms, tsk tsk... there is a beautiful one When the heroine comes, many men will come to the cinema just to see her figure."
"Agree!" Uncle Man raised his hand.
Xie Ting: "Reconsideration!"
Ximiao: I hugged myself weakly, not daring to participate in the conversation about 2 billion investment by the big guys.
"Must we add it?" Lu Xucheng frowned. There was no female around him, how could he add it...
In the end, he compromised, because Sesu felt that it was unjust to have no heroine.
"It's all about money." Lin Yu took out a bunch of documents, "I hired a lawyer to draft the contract. Our total budget for this drama is 2 billion, of which 1.9 billion belongs to Boss Lu. The remaining 100 million I’m offering 30 million, what about you, Uncle Man?”
Uncle Man nodded: "Then I'll give you 30 million. I can get a little more. If it's not enough, I'll add more."
"Then do you want to put in some of the remaining 40 million?" Lin Yu added after finishing speaking, "To be honest, although we have a lot of money and can guarantee it in the future, no one knows what will happen in the end."
"The key is that our movie cannot be directed at China. Based on the current highest domestic movie box office of 3 billion, if we can break this record, after deducting various expenses such as theater chains, there will not be much left. .”
"Although it's not a loss, it's really boring to make that little compared to 2 billion. So we have to win the overseas market, which is a bit interesting."
Lin Yu coughed: "We are all businessmen in our family, and we know whether we make money or lose money, so if we lose money in the end..."
"Uncle Lu doesn't have anything to fear from us!" He chuckled, "If there is 40 million left, I will pay 39.9 million."
"How come there are still some odd ones?" Lin Yu was amused, "Do you want a discount for the remaining 100,000 yuan?"
Sese patted Ximiao, who had been serving as the background: "The remaining 100,000 yuan will be given to Sister Miaomiao!"
"I?"
"You should have 100,000 yuan in your hand, right?" Xie Ting asked her.
Ximiao did, and after deducting tuition and rent, he still had 120,000 earned from the game. She didn't dare to spend it randomly, so she saved it all. No one knew how much money she could make from the game. She had to ensure at least all the expenses during the two years of school.
"That's fine." Sese decided for her.
Ximiao's eyes were red. She knew that everyone wanted to give her a chance to make money.
"What are you so excited about?" Xie Ting rolled her eyes at her, "If I lose, you will lose all your points."
Ximiao wiped his eyes vigorously: "Okay, I'll give you 100,000."
If it's gone, it's gone. The original money was earned because An An and Sesu took them with them.
"Come on, come on! Sign and sign." Lin Yu handed the contract to everyone, "Fingerprint it again."
Sese pressed the ink pad with her thumb: "Why does it feel like selling yourself?"
"It's better to sell yourself than this. This is 2 billion..." Lin Yu's hands trembled as he held the contract, "If I knew how big our deal was this time, I would have to be beaten to death.
We were all friends, so we were very happy, and the money was received the next day. Because Uncle Man owned an entertainment company, he invested in it in the name of his company.
The next step is publicity, which is Lin Yu's strength. He first contacted the United States to confirm the post-production company. The entire movie will be shot in the United States, and all the team members are American, except for a few Chinese actors.
After these were implemented, we started to send out press releases, buy hot searches, and release casting news at the same time. In just one hour, the whole country knew that a small company was going to invest 2 billion to make a science fiction masterpiece comparable to American blockbusters.
"Haha... Even if you brag, don't be afraid of blowing it off."
"20? Are you kidding? If you invest 2 billion in China, you will lose money anyway. Even if the current movie data of the Chinese people is 3 billion, it is difficult to get more. Unless we all go to the second and third level, it will still be about the same."
"I don't believe it anyway. Do you want an 80-year-old lady and a 3-year-old baby to enter the cinema?"
There was a lot of booing on the Internet, which led to many celebrities starting to wait and see despite investing in it. Only Chen Lu contacted Lin Yu immediately.
"Is there a suitable role? I hope you can give me a chance."
Lin Yu groaned: "Wait a minute, the heroine hasn't been set yet!"
Chen Lu: "..." It seems that the heroine is just a vase and has no acting skills.
But she didn't care. She believed that there must be Lu Xucheng's investment in this drama, otherwise Lin Yu, a second-generation rich man, wouldn't be able to afford so much money.
"Well, if there is news, Second Young Master, you must consider me as soon as possible!"
Lin Yu wholeheartedly agreed. Chen Lu hung up the phone and thought about it, then immediately forwarded it on Weibo. After giving her sincere blessings, she said it would be an honor for her to have the opportunity to star in such a movie.
She is also considered a popular actress. As soon as she spoke, many stars began to be eager to try it. Uncle Man's small company received a call from a big star's agent every day, but they couldn't make the decision. Lu Xucheng took the script to change it. , no one knows what will happen in the end.
"Your Highness, do you want to lure Thanos out?" Jarvis has been helping Lu Xucheng with the script these days. From the first day Lu Xucheng made this, he knew that His Highness was planning it.
Lu Xucheng turned off the holographic screen: "This story is about the showdown between me and him. He has endured it for so many years. I don't know if he can endure it this time."
In addition, Lu Xucheng also wanted to give a warning to some people on earth. Human nature is greedy, and he is afraid that some people will prevent him from returning to his homeland for the technology in his hands, and may even put him under house arrest in the end.
He wasn't afraid before, but now he has concerns in his heart. This is his fatal weakness. Whether it's the people on Earth or Thanos, once they seize the opportunity, they will fall into passivity.
