Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 170 The King of True and Pure Love

And some of the guys who secretly wanted to see "The Bourne Supremacy" take a hit at the box office were all furious, not to mention jealous.

"Fake!"

"1.21 million in three days! Is this a fucking record?!"

"What's so good about that rubbish "The Bourne Supremacy"? How could it get such a high box office?"

Voices like this often sounded from the mansions in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood during this period, and 90.00% of them were men.

There is no way, there are too many people who are jealous of Wayne.

And those actresses and female stars were all jealous of Jessica. After all, Jessica was just an unknown little actor. Just because she hooked up with Wayne, she became a star in just two plays. She immediately became famous and became a popular A-list actress. Who wouldn’t be jealous of her!

The consequence of this is that Wayne will receive a bag of documents from Mike every day during this period, which are all the latest additions of the day, details of the beauties who want to date him, and even restricted photos.

Hannah didn't know what it was at first, and helped collect it twice. Later she found out that these things were inside, and she was so angry that she almost shot Mike with a gun.

As for Wayne, of course he was forgiven.

There are so many men in the world, but she only likes to be beaten by Wayne.

"Okay, Mike can't forgive the favor. After all, there are not just ordinary actors who have just entered the industry or are not famous, but there are also many first- and second-tier female stars." Wayne pulled Hannah into his arms and kissed him, dumbfounded. Take a bite.

Then he took her with him to look through and comment on the information and photos in his hand.

Of course, he really just looked at it.

During this period of time, because he was busy filming during the day, he could hardly arrange for the existing women, so how could he still find the time to find new ones.

But to be honest, there are indeed enough beauties in Hollywood. More than [-]% of the materials that Mike brought were female stars that he had never even heard of in his previous life, but the quality was not bad at all.

Even the worst one was almost as good as Amanda Hearst, and the most beautiful one was even comparable to Jessica and Anne. This was something he didn't expect.

It's just that these girls are good-looking, but they lack some characteristics. Most of them are the standard sexy and fierce American girls.

And if the looks are even higher, there will be no one that reaches the level of Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman.

It is worth mentioning that Wayne also saw the "Queen of the Sea" Amber Heard in the information, and a photo of her covering the mysterious position with only her arms.

Although Hai Hou was not yet 16 years old at this time, she already had a pretty good figure, and her face was quite beautiful with a hint of the innocence of a girl and the charm of an adult woman.

Unfortunately, when he thought about this guy's character and the fact that he played with others behind Depp's back until he became incontinent and defecated on the bed, he felt sick and lost any interest in her.

"I just don't know if the Depp of this world will fall into her hands."

In addition, he also saw the name of Rachel McAdams. Counting "Mean Girls", he has already snatched two of Rachel McAdams's movies.

If you include "The Wedding Crashers" which is planned to be filmed next, it will be three films.To be honest, even his face felt a little embarrassed.

"Fake, you don't have a crush on this woman, do you?" Hannah saw that he was lingering on the photo of Rachel McAdams for a little longer, and she couldn't help but ask.

"No, I just saw her information and appearance, and thought she should have a wide range of roles and potential." Wayne came back to his senses and explained casually.

He really doesn't have any ideas about Rachel McAdams, after all, Rachel McAdams doesn't really fit his taste.

Hannah looked at him suspiciously at first, and then complained about his aesthetics again.

"I think this Bichi is quite beautiful!"

"Forget it, why don't you just tell me, among all the female stars in Hollywood, which one do you think is the most beautiful?"

"Well," Wayne thought carefully, "14-year-old Sophie Marceau, 24-year-old Charlize Theron, 34-year-old Nicole Kidman and Monica Bellucci, probably That’s it.”

"what about me?"

"You're not a female celebrity, why are you just joining in the fun~"

Wayne slapped her astonishingly elastic buttocks, as if a battle horn had been sounded.
"Ah! Oops! I almost forgot about the real thing!" The defeated Mia said hoarsely, suppressing her fatigue and sleepiness.

"The villas and other scenes in the 'Cypress Garden' have all been set up, and the required props and equipment have been shipped there in batches in advance. As for personnel, in order to ensure that we can shoot normally without stopping tomorrow, I have asked The crew will take an overnight flight tonight, and as for us, our flight will be at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning."

"In addition, all preparatory work for "Dog Hotel" including scene construction and prop production has been completed, and the official filming will begin tomorrow."

"Shet!" Wayne, who originally looked lazy, couldn't help but curse when he heard this.

"It's April 4th. It's been almost a month since we started preparations, and we're actually just ready to start filming? Nancy Meyers is really fast!"

"That's the person you're looking for, isn't it? And the one-month preparation is already very fast, right~"

"."

Wayne was speechless.

If you look at a movie with a normal production budget of 2000 million yuan, one month of preliminary preparation time is indeed not that long, but the problem is that he originally thought that it would be ready in 10 days. "How about we recruit a construction team from across the sea in the future? This is not only cheaper, but also more efficient. Comrade Jianguo seems to have started his career in real estate and TV shopping, right?"

Wayne couldn't help but think of a certain Comrade Jianguo.

Fortunately, Mia interrupted his random thoughts at this time: "By the way, Sierra asked me to ask you what to do with the funds in the company account. If you don't spend them as soon as possible, you will have to pay taxes."

Counting the 2500 million that was spent on the last sale of "Mean Girls", the cash in Hemera Pictures' account now reaches an astonishing US$1.44 million. Even after deducting the company's daily operating capital of US$600 million, there is still US$1.38 million.

The bulk of it is undoubtedly the 1.1 million that was just transferred a few days ago. In addition, the remaining few million are the unspent publicity and distribution expenses of "The Bourne Supremacy".

Now, Wayne has no plans to continue spending money to promote "The Bourne Supremacy" because it is simply not necessary.

The publicity funds were spent on his own money, and he could not be so generous.

It's just that with such a large amount of money, and it's still on Hemera Pictures' account, how to spend it is indeed a headache.

Fortunately, he had already thought of the answer in advance.

That is to use the money to enrich the film library of Hemera Pictures. Instead of buying physical copyrights, it will only buy the online rights of those blockbuster movies.

In this day and age, although there are Internet viewing services such as online live broadcasts and online TV in America, due to various hardware and software limitations, not only the picture resolution is frighteningly low, but the next two-hour movie may require Four or five hours can really make people sick, so the online copyrights of movies and TV series are really more expensive than cabbage prices.

Even the online copyright fees for "Titanic" and "Star Wars Episode 1", which grossed more than 200 billion at the box office, were only [-] million. There is still room for further bargaining, let alone other movies.

Thinking about how many billions of views "Titanic" will have on the global Internet in the next 20 years, you can roughly imagine what an amazing profit this is.

In addition, videos of sports events, except for the Super Bowl, which is a bit more expensive, are also very cheap.

For example, in Game 98 of the 3060 Finals between the Bulls and Jazz, which set a TV viewing record of 10 million, the online copyright was only US$[-]. Isn’t this a bargain price?
In more than ten years, this will be the treasure of a sports video website, attracting countless traffic.

At that time, the cost of licensing such a video alone could reach hundreds of millions of dollars, with a return rate of more than a hundred times.

It's not as easy as robbing a bank to make money, right?

"I have asked Meda to compile a list of film and television dramas and a list of sports events, which will be sent to Sera later. Except for the necessary daily operating expenses, all the funds in the company account are all To acquire the Internet rights on the list, the faster and more secretly the better." Wayne lowered his voice and looked at Amanda and Lydia who had fallen asleep.

Seeing that he had an idea, Mia said nothing more, yawned and got into his arms, found a comfortable position for herself, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Wayne finished off ten king crab soup dumplings made by the newly hired Chinese chef in one go. Only then was he satisfied and sat with Mia in the car to the airport and boarded a flight to Charleston.

This is a seaside city located at the confluence of the Koper River and the Ashley River. It is also the fourth largest international container port in the United States. However, the permanent population is only less than 2, so except for the urban areas Outside, it is surrounded by inaccessible lakes and forests, and the environment and scenery are very good.

In addition, it is closer to the equator than Los Angeles, and the temperature is a little higher than that of Los Angeles. Even if it is only in April, it is quite suitable for travel.

However, as soon as the four Waynes got off the plane, at Mia's request, they took the car sent by the crew to pick them up and arrived at the filming scene.

Because this time can be used for filming, the scene of young "Noah" and "Ellie" boating on the lake, as well as the scene of the two laughing loudly in the heavy rain, and the scene of affectionate kissing after resolving the misunderstanding can also be used Filmed together.

Of course, some of the colorful scenes that appeared in later movies were canceled outright by Wayne.

Just kidding, although I felt quite happy when I watched the movie in my previous life, now it would definitely be uncomfortable if it was his girlfriend who played the heroine.

In fact, due to his intervention, the current version of "The Notebook" has few sex scenes, let alone sex scenes, and even few kissing scenes, especially the male leads Hammond and Ellie. Many intimate scenes were completely deleted, turning it into a proper pure love movie.

It made Nicholas Sparks want to give up his title of 'King of Pure Love' to him.

But this also has an advantage, that is, you don’t have to worry about ratings. For such a simple love movie, even if it doesn’t get a G rating that everyone can watch, it should at least get a PG rating, right?

In this way, won’t the audience base increase again~
Time soon came to April 4, and the cumulative North American box office of "The Bourne Supremacy" has reached an astonishing US$17 million.

However, judging from the box office trend, this movie's North American box office potential has almost been exhausted. Even in another two weeks, the box office may not exceed 3 million.

On the other hand, its overseas box office, thanks to its explosive start, actually exceeded 2 million in just ten days, and it still has more than 1000 million US dollars in new box office every day.

Based on this calculation, the overseas box office of "The Bourne Supremacy" has a chance to exceed the North American box office and exceed 1 million. This makes many Sony Columbia executives including Howard Stringer extremely happy.

If the box office can really exceed 3000 million, then they can make a small profit of 1 to 1.5 million through the box office. Coupled with the income from disc sales, the total revenue will definitely exceed [-] million, reaching [-] million or more.

You know, the "Spider-Man" series hasn't even been released yet, and Sony Columbia, which has just turned a profit in just three years, has only made so much money on "Men in Black."

This success undoubtedly greatly increased Howard Stringer's desire to strengthen cooperation with Wayne and Hemera Pictures.

After some testing on the phone and knowing that Wayne had no shortage of filming funds, Howard Stringer immediately changed his strategy and directly doubled the 24 concerts originally planned by Britney Spears. , increased to 60 games.

The location is no longer limited to North America, but a European tour has been added.

If it was just this, it didn't seem to have anything to do with Wayne, but on the same day, Wayne received a call from Avril Lavigne, saying that she wanted to invite her to be a guest performer in these 60 concerts.
