Rebirth of the Super Landlord

After hearing that the copyright of "Twilight" had been transferred, most of the remaining film companies gave up on negotiations. Although "Underworld" is also good, it is obviously not as attractive as Twilight, and its setting

Skip the avant-garde, it's okay if the cost is low, but if the cost is high, it may be difficult to recover the cost.

However, due to the need for special effects, the cost of this type of fantasy film will obviously not be very low, so most companies have backed down. However, there are still three companies that are interested in "Dark Night".

The most sincere among them is Lionsgate Pictures. Although Lionsgate Pictures is just a new company at this time, Su Zhen does know the future achievements of this company. If nothing else, the Chainsaw series alone is enough.

It has a place in the history of movies. It is a pity that Su Zhen was not interested in this type of horror movies in his previous life. He just knew about this movie but never watched it.

Finally, an agreement was reached with Lionsgate. Su Zhen and Lions Gate cooperated to film the first part of Underworld. The price for the novel copyright and script adaptation was 2 million. Su Zhen invested another 13 million, accounting for half of the profit.

Why does Twilight One require 50 million but Nightfall only requires 30 million?

That's because Twilight is a true fantasy film. If you want to shoot it well, you will probably have to spend a lot of money on the light effects. Although the night also has a magical name, it obviously has more action elements.

There are far fewer places where special effects are used compared to Twilight.

In fact, the basic cost of most action movies is not high. The reason why the cost of those action movies is so high is mainly due to the high salary of the actors. There are even cases where the actors' salary is far higher than the production cost of the film itself.

After that was done, Su Zhen asked Aikman to take him back to the hotel.

As a result, as soon as the two people walked out of the publishing house, they found that two people from Lionsgate Pictures were back.

"What are you doing?" Su Zhen asked.

"Mr. Su, Pelee Island Winery will have an ice wine conference in Los Angeles tomorrow night. Our boss also has shares in Pelee Island Winery. As a business partner, our boss would like to invite you to attend." The older one

The guy from Lionsgate explained.

"It seems inappropriate for me, a minor, to attend a wine press conference." Since Su Zhen arrived, he discovered that the United States attaches great importance to the issue of underage drinking. Public places such as wine press conferences are absolutely prohibited.

Entered by minors.

"This is not a public press conference, it is just a small-scale exhibition held by the winery in Los Angeles. It is held in a private club. There will be no reporters or other people waiting. You don't need to worry at all." The other party explained.

Su Zhen wanted to refuse, but when he saw Aikman standing by, he winked, "Okay, I will attend on time."

Seeing that Su Zhen agreed, the other party left. After Su Zhen saw them leaving, he asked Aikman, "What? Their boss has a good background? You pay so much attention to me that you want me to accept the invitation?"

"No, no, no, although their boss has a good background, that's not important. What's important is the winery where the press conference is held, which is Pelee Island Winery. Haven't you heard of BOSS?" Aikman

answer.

"Haha, I don't drink. Except for Chateau Lafite, I have never heard of any other wineries. What? Is it famous?" Su Zhen was very interested when he heard this.

"Lafite is just the most famous dry red wine. The types of wine are divided into three types according to color: red, white, and rosé. According to the sugar content, they are dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, sweet, etc. There are several other classification methods.

, and Pelee Island Winery is most famous for their ice wine, and ice wine is..." Aikman was interrupted by Su Zhen before he finished speaking.

"I know that ice wine is a kind of sweet wine, and the brewing conditions are very limited." Su Zhen nodded. He had a chance to drink it once in his previous life, and the sweet taste was very good.

However, what Su Zhen didn't know was that the ice wine he drank in his previous life was actually a counterfeit. Because of the production problem, although the price of ice wine is not very high, it is not affordable for ordinary people in China. In fact, most high-end red wines on the domestic market

, there are many fakes, such as Lafite. The annual output of Chateau Lafite is 24 bottles, but two million bottles are sold domestically every year. Everyone has guessed what this means. In fact, the authentic Lafite red wine

Less than 50,000 bottles enter China every year, and most of them are directly reserved for personal use. It is estimated that less than 30,000 bottles can actually enter the market. The same is true for ice wine. Canadian ice wine on the market is priced at more than 100

They are everywhere. If they were sold at this price, all the wineries that make ice wine in the world would have closed down long ago. Let’s not talk about the restrictions on the origin. It would be better to just focus on a few major producing areas, because climate changes cannot be achieved every year.

For those who produce ice wine, it can be said that ice wine has the lowest total output among all wines.

"Yes, because ice wine must be made from naturally frozen grapes growing on the vines, and there are very few areas where both high-quality grapes can be grown and natural freezing conditions can occur, the yield of ice wine is very low, and because of its nutritional value,

It is very popular among the upper class in Europe and the United States." Although he was a little unhappy to be interrupted, but who makes Su Zhen the boss? Aikman still patiently explained, "and the ice wine produced by Pelee Island Winery is recognized as the best in the world.

Therefore, as a top winery, the people who can attend the press conference held by Pelee Island Winery are those with a certain status. Being invited to this type of wine party itself also represents a kind of status."

After listening to Aikman's explanation, Su Zhen understood in his heart that if this was the case, it was indeed necessary to see it. At the same time, he thought that the boss of Lions Gate Company was not simple, so he asked again, "Do you know about Lion Gate?"

The owner of the company? The owner of a small American film company has shares in a Canadian winery. It seems he is not a simple person."

"Haha, BOSS, you are wrong. Lionsgate is not an American film company, but a Canadian film company, and their boss is not as simple as just one Lionsgate company." Aikman said with a smile.

.

Su Zhen was stunned. He really didn't know this. He only knew that Lionsgate was a famous film company in Hollywood, but he never thought that it was a Canadian film company.

"The boss of Lionsgate is Frank Gusta, a Canadian banker. He founded this film company last year. Although it is headquartered in Los Angeles, it is indeed a Canadian company, so although Lionsgate

Although it is a new company, it does have strong capital." Aikman continued to explain to Su Zhen.

Bankers, no wonder, they are all a bunch of wealthy owners, Su Zhen curled his lips.

After sending Su Zhen back to the hotel, Aikman drove away.

After returning to the room, he found that Rachel was already in his room. Since there was a pair of room keys, Su Zhen gave her a key to his room when Rachel left yesterday.

"Su, you're back." Seeing Su Zhen come in, Rachel put down the documents in her hands and stood up to greet him.

Su Zhen sat down on the sofa and asked, "How did things go today?"

"It went very smoothly. Registering a company in the United States is not troublesome, but it will take about a week to complete all the procedures." Rachel got up and walked to the bar aside to make a cup of tea for Su Zhen. The tea was specially bought by Liu Jun during the Chinese New Year.

Although the authentic Longjing is not the best, it is still rare and top-quality.

"There is a press conference for Pelee Island Winery tomorrow night. You can go with me," Su Zhen said.

"The press conference at Pelee Island Winery? Really?" Rachel was very excited.

"What? Are you very interested?" Su Zhen asked

"Of course, a press conference for a top winery like this is not comparable to the party receptions I attended before. There will definitely be many top Hollywood stars participating. I don't know if Nicolas Cage will participate. I like him the most.

It's a movie," Rachel dreamed.

Even Rachel behaved like this. It seems that the press conference of a top winery is really unusual. Nicolas Cage... I also like watching his movies, but I don’t know how they are in real life. Su Zhen took a sip

Bad, I thought silently.
