This "Home Alone" is a pure popcorn movie, a complete money-making work. It cost 1800 million yuan and grossed 2.8 million yuan at the box office, and even released 5 parts in a row.
This is a work that can definitely make DreamWorks famous.
The actors were easy to deal with, but the choice of director made him a little hesitant.
He was a little undecided about whether to choose Wu Yusen or find the original director.
Wu Yusen's skills are beyond doubt, and he has made comedy films in Hong Kong before, so it is no problem for him at all.
It’s just that he’s got a Rush Hour series on his plate, and comedy is no longer something he wants to shoot.
But this movie has a box office revenue of 2.8 million, which will definitely help him further gain a foothold in He Lihuo.
After much deliberation, Zhang Wen decided to throw the question directly to Wu Yusen and let him make his own choice.
However, Zhang Wen also values the young director in the original history.
He also wanted to use this script to attract that person to join WEN agency.
WEN agency currently has only one big name under its umbrella, Brooke Stoudemire, followed by a number of Hong Kong actors and directors such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li, as well as UFC players.
Of course, Leslie Cheung, Mei Gu, Zhang Xueyou, Nakamura Akina and others are also artists under the company, and they are now regular visitors to major music charts around the world.
This is what WEN Agency is most proud of.
But after all, most of them are Asians. As for European and American nationals, apart from Brooke Stoudemire and two other confidantes, there are only a dozen or so contracted supermodels.
However, Denzel Washington has already started contacting William after filming Rush Hour, so as long as the box office results are good, he should be able to get the role.
If they don’t sign, they can easily replace the actors in the subsequent sequels.
With the recent death of the founder of another established talent agency in Hollywood, William is waving lucrative talent contracts and is in frequent contact with artists under WMA.
However, WEN Company is only a newly established agency. If it wants to impress these (bbff) artists and directors, it must bring out the big Buddha Zhang Wen.
The major shareholder of Hilton Hotels, the major shareholder of AMC Theaters, the owner of DreamWorks Pictures, the owner of Vincus Animation, the owner of UFC events, the owner of Blockbuster, etc. This long list of names really surprised a lot of people.
Mainly because there are two companies closely related to these artists and directors. In order not to be included in the blacklist of AMC Cinemas and Blockbuster, William really snatched away a lot of people.
Among them, Will Smith, Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron are the ones Zhang Wen values the most. There is also a director named Michael Bay who is helping Michael Jackson shoot an MTV.
With the joining of several future big-name actors, the future of WEN agency is promising.
"Wow~~~ This is so brilliant, Mr. Zhang, you are simply a genius, this is totally a best-selling novel." Two hours later, after roughly reading the script, Spielberg said with emotion.
"Well, it is indeed a novel. It is already in printing and will be published next month." Zhang Wen nodded and said.
"When is the filming scheduled for this movie?" When Spielberg asked, even a fool could see the anticipation in his eyes.
"Let's wait until Empire of the Sun is finished filming. Haha, the preliminary preparations have already begun." Zhang Wen began to tempt.
"Haha, that's great, Mr. Zhang. Does anyone know how to make this dinosaur model?" Spielberg smiled and asked again in confusion.
"It has already started. The Hulk crew is experienced. You can go and see it when you have time. Lucas is currently filming." Zhang Wen suggested.
"Well, I heard about it. It's a great initiative. I will finish the filming of Empire of the Sun as soon as possible. I'll get ready and rush to Shanghai to confirm the filming location. I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhang then." When Spielberg stood up, he held the two scripts tightly in his hands.
"Okay, I'll go back to Hong Kong first. When you go to Shanghai, tell me and I'll coordinate it." Zhang Wen stretched out his hand.
"OK, excuse me, I'll take the script with me?" Spielberg pointed to the script of Jurassic Company.
"Hahaha, when are we going to sign the director's contract?" Zhang Wen laughed.
"Well, wait until I change my agency contract to WEN Company." Spielberg winked at Zhang Wen.
"Uh~~~hahaha, great, this is a wise move on your part." Zhang Wen felt refreshed when he heard Spielberg say this.
WEN company finally has a big name. As long as this big Buddha is there, more artists will join.
Chapter 280: Drinks for Warships Plan
"Master, this is the basic formula of Best Cola. What do you think? I can do it, right?" Qin Yueru came to take credit right after Spielberg was sent away.
"Are you sure? I just told you." Zhang Wen was shocked. He just mentioned it to Qin Yueru two days ago. Is it settled now?
"The formula is not difficult. The main difficulty lies in the production process, which I can't handle." Qin Yueru said with a smile.
"Uh ah~~~ you are so capable.
By the way, do you want to come back to Hong Kong with me? I'll let you take care of the mainland hotel over there, what do you think?" Zhang Wen took the recipe, glanced at it, hugged Qin Yueru and kissed her.
“Oh, it’s all saliva.
Let’s not do it for now, you can’t leave me here.” Qin Yueru pushed Zhang Wen away, thought about it, and refused.
"Okay, if there is any news from the United States, please inform me in time. However, my focus will indeed be placed here in the future." Zhang Wen did not force it.
"Sir, please understand.
After this gambling incident, the voices in the gang that originally opposed me completely disappeared.
I have just taken full control of the Qinggui Gang, so I can't leave." Qin Yueru was afraid that he would be angry, so she explained in detail.
"It's okay. I just want to mention it. Don't underestimate Sergei. In a few years, there will be big business waiting for us." Zhang Wen explained.
"I see. The girls he brought are of good quality and most importantly, very obedient.
As long as you want to make money, it's easy, but some of the girls with the best figures and looks have been pushed to William to be models. "Qin Yueru nodded and said.
"Well, you can't force me. Okay, I'll leave right away and will be back in a month and a half." Zhang Wen and Qin Yueru hugged each other and said goodbye.
Zhang Wen left and returned to Hong Kong with an important recipe.
Qin Yueru looked at Zhang Wen who was leaving, feeling a little reluctant, but since they would only see each other again in a month and a half, there was nothing to be sad about.
She was extremely grateful for her decision to join Zhang Wen.
Not to mention Zhang Wen's magical abilities, he also has extraordinary strength.
With just one peripheral football betting match, the Qinggui Gang earned nearly 5 million US dollars and hundreds of gold coins. This alone increased the gang's liquid funds by 5 times. It's incredible.
When they received the money, the elders' faces were filled with disbelief.
At the same time, it also made her position as the gang leader more secure, and all the words of contempt disappeared in an instant.
Now, as long as Zhang Wen issues an order, the Qinggui Gang will treat it as a top priority.
Everyone feels that one cannot just keep asking for things, but must give something in return, and this is the attitude of win-win cooperation.
Zhang Wen, who was leaving, was not sad at all. Instead, he wished he could go to Hong Kong immediately.
The formula in hand is too important. If handled well, it can be exchanged for a fleet.
This is what the country needs most right now.
Although the title of the world's sixth largest navy is a bit exaggerated, it is really a good deal to exchange submarines and warships for original BESPOKE paddles.
Even if it ends up being turned into scrap metal, it's still worth it.
Besides, as long as you understand the various technologies involved, you can create them yourself in the future.
Maybe it can speed up the construction of a modern domestic navy.
But one difficulty is how to make the Russians accept the taste.
I certainly can't sell it under the same name, I have to improve it.
Otherwise, Best Cola wouldn’t do it.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Wen came up with a solution.
It is universally acknowledged that the Russians love to drink.
That is to combine it with wine to make a drink containing wine.
It just so happened that there was plenty of time during the long flight, so Zhang Wen hid in the space.
After traveling back and forth in space, all kinds of raw materials were basically gathered.
As a chef, making drinks is also a compulsory course.
After the plane had been flying for nearly 10 hours, after Zhang Wen's continuous attempts, the new drink was roughly formed.
"how is it going?"
After arriving home, Zhang Wen mixed dozens of flavors of drinks, and in the evening, he invited his artists, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, to a family dinner to taste wine together.
There are non-alcoholic carbonated juice flavors.
There are those that contain vodka and fruit juice.
Some of them include cocktails and juices.
According to the different flavors of the juice, it is divided into many types, and the alcohol content is also different, 5 degrees, 8 degrees, and 12 degrees.
· ·Request flowers····· ·····
"Wow~~~It's so delicious~~~burp~~~." After Li Lizhen finished a glass, she smacked her lips and wanted to drink more.
"Honey, it's really good. It will definitely be very popular if it is put in a bar or nightclub." The professional judge, the beautiful mother, gave a pertinent answer.
"Well, even if we produce it in bulk, the public acceptance should be good. Honey, let's make it a brand." Lizhi, who already has some business experience, replied.
"We don't understand all this, we just think it tastes good. Let's have some more~~~" Sister Lin was not good at drinking. After drinking a full glass of 12-degree liquor, her eyes looked a little dazed.
"Hahaha, Sister Qingxia can't do it anymore.
I think this drink has a strong fruity flavor, and with vodka added, it's refreshing and strong. The stimulation that instantly seeps into the body is beyond words.
..... 0 0
If it is paired with strong-flavored dishes, the taste is absolutely great." The answer given by Liu Jialing, a wine expert, satisfied Zhang Wen the most.
"Boss, why do I taste some of the flavor of Best Cola?" Zhang Guorong also likes to drink and raised some objections.
"Yes, that's what I was going to ask too." Liu Dehua asked with a smile.
"Hahaha, stop guessing. This is the improvement I made based on Best. Since there are no bad aspects to it, this new product can be considered a success." Zhang Wen said with a smile.
"Boss, make a fortune! Give out red envelopes! Hahaha." Everyone present burst into laughter.
"Make a fortune, make a fortune. There are so many flavors. Each of you can endorse one. Is that okay? You will get a share of the endorsement fees. It's just right, so print your portraits on it as well." Zhang Wen decided to print all his artists' portraits on the advertisement, just like the Best advertisement in the original time and space.
"Oh my god, boss, you have a very smart brain. You can think of this. No wonder you can make a fortune." Wang Jin said with emotion.
"Of course. As long as you follow me, we will all have meat to eat in the future." Zhang Wen said confidently.
"By the way, boss, Mr. Luo has been in the United States. We can’t contact him about how the last operation went." Zou Xingchi, a money-grubber, is very concerned about his own investment.
As soon as Zou Xingchi said this, the noise at the scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone pricked up their ears.
Chapter 281 Recruiting Talents
“Haha, you guys, let’s put it this way, I don’t know the details.
But by now it should have doubled or tripled." Zhang Wen looked at everyone's expectant expressions and gave the answer with a big laugh.
"Wow~~~~ Doesn't that mean I'm worth over 100 million?" Wang Jin said in surprise, his eyes wide open.
"Ah? How much did you invest? Over 100 million. Last time I asked you, you only said you invested a few million, you fat guy." Wang Jin's subconscious words made Zou Xingchi go straight forward and strangle him.
"Okay, Xingzai, beat him. He told me the same thing last time." Zou Runfa said with a smile.
"Haha, there are people playing mahjong. The boss just came back, don't disturb him." Looking at several people laughing and making noises, Zhang Guorong jumped out at the right time to help.
"I, I I~~~"
Liu Jialing, Zhang Xueyou, Lin Qingxia, Liang Chaowei, Mei Gu, Wang Jin and Zou Xingchi all raised their hands.
"Five hundred and three" "Well, you all have enough for two tables~~~" Zhang Wen said with emotion.
"Come on, come on, the automatic mahjong machines are ready."
Lin Qingxia waved her hand and led the way, not even caring about her own husband. No wonder she went out sneakily just now, it turned out that she had been prepared for a long time.
Zhang Wen could only blink. This card addiction is really serious.
"Hahaha." Looking at Zhang Wen's embarrassing look, Lizhi and others laughed.
"Ugh~~~" But soon, Lizhi began to feel nauseous.
"Huh?" Zhang Wen looked at the others with some surprise.
"What are you looking at? You guessed it right, my second sister is pregnant. Why don't you help her upstairs?" Ye Zimei said jealously.
"When did it happen?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen hurriedly and carefully supported Li Zhi.
"It's been there since I came back from Heli last time." Lizhi said shyly.
