Text Volume 712 Joining the Group with Funds
To tell the truth, Qin Guan's first reaction after hearing about the bonus amount was that he planned to make a few more films in the past few years and send them to the Dubai International Film Festival in one go, trying to find a way to make a lot of money.
However, on average, the prize money for a single award has reached hundreds of thousands of dollars. This film festival is also worth participating in because of the recovery of film costs.
Qin Guan, who had made a certain decision, hugged Abdul when he left the gate with a smile on his face, and patted each other on the shoulder. They are new good brothers.
Han Zhujiu, who was rather reluctant to part with him, looked at each other with the two Ge Zi brothers on one left and one on the right, and then pulled away their collision eyes.
On the way back, Qu Xuemei was very calm after hearing the news. She just lightly brushed her long hair and reminded Qin Guan: "Warner Bros. finished reading the script? This is your last movie before returning to China." .”
"After watching it, it's quite interesting, and the investment is not small. Has it reached the level of tens of millions of investment? What? Has my actor level reached the B-level evaluation standard?"
"Well, after you got the second Berlin Best Actor, the firm applied for it for you, and after your Mean Girl's box office came out, your application for actor rating was approved."
"so?"
"The scope of your acting is wider, but it's also more dangerous."
"Because of your skin color, as long as a movie fails at the box office, no matter whether it is your own reasons or not, you will also be abandoned by the investors of these commercial movies."
"Then in the future, you will only be remembered when they need to make an art film."
"Actually, it's not too bad. You have at least a few trophies to support you, and the soil of the European film environment. You have an advantage over other Chinese actors who are like rootless duckweed."
Hearing Qu Xuemei's melancholy words in the car, so soft that even he could barely hear them, Qin Guan subconsciously asked, "What? Did the Chinese actors in Hollywood fail at the box office?"
Needless to say, it must be one of the three most influential actors in the United States. Although Qin Guan and the three of them have no intersection, but according to the schedule of their films, only the film of the old actor Zhou Ruifa was released last year up.
"Well, I have inside information, because for the few films he participated in before, the investment in shooting in the United States did not recover the cost. Not even a balance."
"One was an investment of 80 million, and only got back 35.67 million, while the other was recently filmed, with an investment of 52 million, and only a return of 27 million. But his remuneration took away 12 million dollars from the investor."
"I think, in the United States, he won't get any big investment scripts in the next few years."
Qin Guan, who heard Qu Xuemei's answer, remained silent all the way until he returned to his little home.
This is a new house in the same district as Abdul.
The serious and depressing atmosphere in the car became relaxed for no reason after he saw Cong Nianwei in overalls pruning rose bushes in the garden of his new home.
Qin Guan, who got out of the car, was about to hurry up to help, when Qu Xuemei's faint voice came from behind him.
"The lessons learned from the past are right in front of us. Give me a little care. Now that you plan to return your focus to China, then your film in the United States with heavy commercial investment can only succeed and not fail!"
"Again! You are the number one male lead who entered the group through the back door, but you squeezed out Johnny Depp, the first male lead used by director Tim Burton!"
"If you can't show some real standards, the director will show his hands afterwards, and you will be hated as a box office poisoner for the rest of your life!"
Qu Xuemei's sternness and innocence are completely ignored by Qin Guan at this time, he has read the script of that movie several times, and he is more than enough to consciously cope with that character's acting skills.
The only thing is, those squirrels are not the one he imagined, right? Is it the Nestle chocolate group?
Don't tell me, sometimes Qin Guan's premonition is quite accurate.
When he and Cong Nianwei first met the neighbors left and right in this small-class residential area on Long Island, the investor called.
And as Abdul's plane took off, Qin Guan, who was already relaxed, led his team to kill the crew in a mighty manner.
Why use the mighty to describe it?
Because if the investor who filmed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory provided a crew of 30 to 40 people, then Qin Guan would bring twice as many crew members.
Because among the people who counted as Qin Guan's investment funds, there was the design studio of Armani fashion, and the dresses of the entire crew that were designed and produced according to the movie script.
Clothes for adults and children that are inclined to antique design colors seem to be swaying in the gorgeous and grotesque, and non-professional designers cannot control them.
The other part of the staff is the chocolatiers and confectioners who provide the real ingredients for some of the necessary shots in the chocolate set.
Among them, because of Qin Guan, Nestle provided thousands of pieces of pure chocolate.
As for the huge lollipops inside, as well as the chocolate trees and flowers, they are all invested by Nestlé and carefully crafted by the Brighton Chocolate Shop.
These expensive and labor-intensive props naturally need professional personnel to take care of them.
The last remaining people are a combination of professional dyers and pastry color blenders. They use chemical seasonings and special viscous fats to blend into a river like real chocolate.
After all, making a river out of chocolate is still a bit expensive for a big company like Nestle.
The mighty crowd did not put any pressure on the director Tim Hunton, who is used to big turmoil. On the contrary, it was because of Qin Guan's investment in the crew that the pre-preparation funds of the entire crew were left at once. a chunk.
And this adventurous director has no intention of refunding the funds at all. He made a decision that put Qin Guan under great pressure with a wave of his hand.
"Shot on 15/70 film!"
"But the director, this is not a simple problem of being 10 times larger than ordinary 35mm film, his price is several times more expensive!"
"Moreover, it must be screened in an imax theater to perfectly reflect the effect of the film!"
