Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 367 Are movies so profitable?
"About hundreds of millions of dollars." She calculated in her head.

A few movies and peripherals have brought her a lot of income, but the money can't just be thrown in the bank.She needs to pay the salaries of the staff, needs to buy props for the set, needs to update equipment and technology, needs to cooperate with special effects companies, and also needs to invest in cutting-edge projects, investing in new films for those new directors and screenwriters...

After all, two or three hundred million was already the limit she could spend.Victoria's Secret has a lot of shares, but those shares can only continue to appreciate in value if they are kept, and it would be too stupid to sell them for cash.Everyone knows that after the Super Bowl planning, Victoria's Secret has become the best stock.

Just at the end of the movie, Janet looked at her in surprise when she heard her words: "Is it so profitable to make a movie?" She thought she was already making a lot of money. Compared with her daughter, she was so poor.Don't spend hundreds of millions, it would be difficult for her to come up with tens of millions in cash. All the funds have already been stuffed into the company's operations.

There was also a hint of surprise in Channing's eyes. He couldn't have asked such a simple question like Janet, because he had thoroughly researched all projects that could make money.And the reason why he never invests in movies is that this industry is too uncertain.

"No, it's not easy to make money making movies. You never know what kind of movie the audience wants to see. The "No. 13 Warriors" the other day used to make blockbuster movies and write People who sold movie scripts and actors even invited many top stars, but the box office was terrible. Unless they can earn more than 4 million box office overseas, they are lost."

The question is is that possible?
If it is placed in the future, it is possible, because as time goes by, the ancient oriental country has more and more entertainment needs, and movies account for an important part of it.

For example, Warcraft movie, its box office in the first week in North America was only 2417 million, but it received 9000 million US dollars in just two days in the eastern country!Not only did it save the movie that hit home, it even put the sequel's shooting plan on the table.

But that is the future development. For the current market, if you lose money in North America, you should not think about earning it back outside.Qian Ning couldn't be more aware of this.

"I had a client who wanted to put money into a movie. He saw the big hit of Titanic and was very excited. Yes, that movie did bring in a lot of money, but that's about it for so many years. One. I asked my subordinates to do a thorough analysis report on Hollywood before dispelling the client's idea."

Laila twitched the corners of her lips: "That's right, Hollywood is not a place where anyone can come in if they want. There is no shortage of rich people here, what is missing is a pair of eyes that can identify whether it is profitable or not."

Janet smiled and put her arms around her shoulders: "Are you talking about you? My dear. Even if you don't emphasize it, I know enough about you that you are amazing." She kissed her face and stood up Come: "Stop talking about those boring topics, where is my little Roy? I bought a lot of gifts for him."

The three walked out of the audio-visual room, and when they came out, they saw Roy and Abel chatting happily with their grandmother.Seeing them approaching, grandma was upset: "You just leave these two lovely children here?"

"Don't say that, grandma!" Roy said with a smile: "I like chatting with you very much. You told me a lot about the East, and I have been very interested in it for a long time."

Grandma patted his hand with a smile: "You are a good boy, grandma knows."

Laila pinched her swollen forehead. She never doubted this guy's ability to make friends, but wouldn't it be too exaggerated to coax grandma in such a short while?How did she remember that grandma always behaved dignified and alienated towards strangers?
While talking, Mr. Oswald came back.

As soon as he entered the door, his eyes first turned around on Roy, then turned to Channing, and stared at him deeply.

For a tycoon like him who has been at the top for a long time, his aura must be terrifying.At least Roy just got a glance from him, and he felt stiff all over, as if he had been petrified.

But soon his eyes lit up.This was the first time he had seen such a big man, and it turned out that he really had the aura of a high-ranking person just like in the novel.If he wants to play such a person, how far does he need to go?

While everyone else was focusing on the sight war between the old man and Channing, Roy was thinking about how to improve his acting skills.

Probably the old man stared at him for too long, and the Moran family couldn't see it.Grandma is a very kind person, and the most unsightly thing is that the old man "bullies" like this, especially someone who may become his son-in-law.

"What are you doing looking at him like this? Hurry up and change your clothes. You can have dinner soon." She pushed the old man's arm.

"En." The old man snorted, and then walked upstairs.

"Are you okay?" Janet wanted to see Channing's joke, but what she saw was a face that didn't look strange.Still smiling, maintaining an elegant demeanor, Channing Sanders is very mature and charming in the middle age.

"Of course it's okay." He smiled politely.

Janet was a little disappointed: "How can it be all right? I used to bring friends home, and they would always be limp at the sight of my father." She was very happy to see this arrogant man defeated by her father's gaze, every time Even being bullied by him, she has long held back her anger.

Laila didn't bother to listen to the two of them show off their love with guns, but when she turned her head, she saw that Roy was still in deep thought.

"What are you thinking?" she wondered.

"I was thinking, how would I play a character like Mr. Oswald?"

Laila smiled: "This is a good habit, you will benefit from it forever."

It is a very good habit to often try to figure out the heart of the character and carefully observe the people around you.She has always said that opportunities always come to those who are prepared. If one day he really wants to play such a person, then today's efforts will be used.

"It's too difficult for you to play someone like Grandpa from the beginning. First of all, no matter how talented you are, the accumulation brought by age will never be overcome, until your age turns the accumulated time into Comprehension merges into oneself.”

Influenced by Roy, she also brought out her enthusiasm during filming and helped him "tell the show".

"First of all, posture. Did you notice the posture in which Grandpa stood just now?"

Roy nodded: "It's very straight, with a kind of calmness that stands upright no matter how the wind blows."
