Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 347 Let Me Shoot
"I don't know how much money Mr. Tsuburaya can spend to make this movie?"

Lin Daoqiu did not answer whether the other party was willing to help, but wanted to know how much Yuan Gugao could spend on production.

"three……"

Yuan Gugao stretched out three fingers towards Lin Daoqiu.

"Is it 30 billion?"

If it is 30 billion, maybe this matter still needs to be discussed, after all, it is already 500 million in US dollars.

If I add about 3000 million by then, this drama should be able to be produced.

But when Yuan Gugao heard the number Lin Daoqiu said, he was stunned, and then his face turned red all of a sudden, and his head lowered unconsciously.

"No...not 30 billion."

Yuan Gugao didn't want Lin Daoqiu to misunderstand him, after all, he didn't have that much money.

"Isn't it 30 billion? That's only [-] million. If that's the case, I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult."

If Yuan Gugao only had [-] million yuan, then there was no need to discuss this matter at all, let alone making a movie, the money was not even enough to make special effects and props.

Gao Yuangu glanced at Isao Matsuoka at the side, and then said a word in an extremely difficult tone.

"Only three... 3000 million yen."

Yuan Gugao felt that he was really ashamed, but there was only so much money he could use. Maybe he could raise 2000 million if he went back and sold his house, but this was only a drop in the bucket.

When Lin Daoqiu heard that the other party could only provide a production fee of 3000 million yen, he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally he could only pick up a cup to cover up his embarrassment.

After taking a sip of the wine, Lin Daoqiu put down the glass, but he didn't know what to say now.

With only 3000 million yen in his pocket, he wants to make a Hollywood-standard "Godzilla" movie. I don't know whether Kota Tsuburaya is naive, or he thinks he is Aladdin's magic lamp, and he can make any wish come true.

"Mr. Tsuburaya, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, if you want to make a Hollywood-standard "Godzilla" movie, you need at least this number..."

Lin Daoqiu spread five fingers in front of Yuan Gugao, but Yuan Gugao couldn't tell how much Lin Daoqiu's five fingers represented.

He turned his head and looked at Isao Matsuoka next to him with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted the other party to help him solve this 'difficult problem'.

"Is $5000 million to make a "Godzilla" movie a bit too expensive?"

When Lin Daoqiu stretched out five fingers, Matsuoka immediately realized that what the other party was talking about was US dollars, and the number was in the tens of millions.

But to be honest, Nihong’s live-action movie box office champion last year was only 30 billion, and now it costs 5000 million US dollars to make a movie. If Isao Matsuoka made this decision, he would definitely not dare.

"It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. Of course, money is indispensable if you want to shoot good quality, and I plan to use the combination of special effects and special shooting to shoot a "Godzilla". The price will certainly not be cheap.”

Lin Daoqiu would not spend time chatting with them here if he just messed around with a few props to play monkeys. If he really had such free time, he would rather be with Junzi.

Yuan Gugao didn't know what to say for a long time, let alone 5000 million US dollars, now he can't even get 500 million US dollars, it seems that this time he seems a little whimsical.

And what Lin Daoqiu said was right, you get what you pay for, since you want to spread "Godzilla" to the whole world, then naturally you can't just rely on special photography technology to shoot like before.

It seems that there is no need to continue talking about this matter. Gao Yuangu can't afford so much money, and Isao Matsuoka can't persuade the board of directors to spend 5000 million US dollars to make a movie.

This meal can be said to be very disheartening for Yuan Gugao. Originally, he wanted Lin Daoqiu to help produce a cross-generational "Godzilla", but he was too cash-strapped to realize his wish. possible things.

And even if Lin Daoqiu cut the production cost by half now, it would still be an astronomical sum for them.

"If you two really can't solve the funding problem, I have a solution here."

Lin Daoqiu poured himself a glass of wine, and seemed to have said this sentence inadvertently.

Originally, Yuan Gugao was completely desperate, but Lin Daoqiu's words suddenly pulled him out of the abyss of despair.

Even Isao Matsuoka couldn't help but stare at Lin Daoqiu with wide eyes. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

"I don't know what to do?"

Yuan Gugao looked at Lin Daoqiu suspiciously. He didn't know what good solution Lin Daoqiu had come up with to help them solve the problem in front of them.

"Since you can't make this movie, why don't you sell me the movie copyright of "Godzilla" and let me invest and shoot it myself."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Yuan Gugao seemed a little at a loss, as if he didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to propose such a method.

However, Isao Matsuoka on the side reacted immediately, because he had vaguely guessed that Lin Daoqiu would say this before, but the fact turned out to be the same as he guessed.

Dongbao and Yuangugao absolutely couldn't afford the money, let alone 5000 million, even 1000 million, they couldn't afford it, but Matsuoka Isao didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

But for Yuan Gugao, it doesn't matter who pays for the filming, as long as "Godzilla" can be made well, he doesn't mind selling the film copyright of "Godzilla" to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, I hope you will cooperate with Dongbao for this movie, and I believe that you will also need the assistance of special camera technology when shooting. In Dongbao..."

Before Matsuoka Isao finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu raised his hand to interrupt the other party.

"I have established a special effects company called Magic Studio in Xiangjiang. If Mr. Tsuburaya is willing to sell the copyright of "Godzilla" to me, the special effects and special photography will be completed in Xiangjiang."

Originally, Isao Matsuoka wanted to boast about studios No. [-] and No. [-] in front of Lin Daoqiu, but looking at it now, Dongbao's advantages are nothing in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"President Matsuoka, when "Godzilla" is released in Neon, it will still be handed over to Toho for distribution. I know that Toho has strong financial resources, but it is really difficult to spend so much money to invest in a movie. But I believe there will be opportunities in the future.”

Originally, Isao Matsuoka still wanted to work hard, even if he couldn't come up with a large amount of funds to cooperate, at least he would have to account for 5% to 10% of the film.

But looking at it this way now, Lin Daoqiu doesn't intend to let Dongbao intervene, which makes Matsuoka feel very helpless.

"I am willing to sell the film copyright of "Godzilla" to Mr. Lin, but the condition is that Tsuburaya Co., Ltd. must participate in the production of this film, please."

Naturally, Lin Daoqiu would not refuse Yuangu Gao's request. After all, the special photography technology of Yuangu Co., Ltd. is the best in Neon. With their assistance, the film will definitely be better.

"Then we've made a deal..."

Lin Daoqiu and Yuan Gugao shook hands with a smile, and the matter was considered settled.

On the other hand, Matsuoka Isao could only shake his head silently there, this time Dongbao failed to get any benefit from it in the end.
