In the past few years, Hollywood has been in the habit of spending a lot of money and making blockbusters. It is not yet 2007, and the financial crisis has not yet broken out, so the enthusiasm of the American people to go to theaters to watch movies is still quite high.

But a movie often costs tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, before you can call it a blockbuster. Only in this way can it attract enough consumers during promotion and ensure box office revenue.

However, over the years, they have spent a lot of money, but the results have been very little. There are even a few in the film industry that have poor box office. For example, "Pearl Harbor", which cost hundreds of millions to film in the past two years, and that movie

"Windtalkers" directed by John Woo, etc., these have all become box office poison.

So now the big Hollywood producers have learned a lesson, that is, when investing in blockbuster movies, they try to find a few partners and everyone invests together.

Even if the movie is successful, sharing the box office profits together will be much better than having to bear the loss alone if the movie fails.

Therefore, in recent years, Hollywood has formed a situation where everyone wants to make money together and everyone wants to lose money. Therefore, many big productions in recent years are backed by some big producers and some small producers.

Jointly produced.

In this investment plan for "Transformers", Paramount has been worried about the prospects of this movie, and the producer of this movie, Don Murphy, insists that this movie should be produced by his

Directed by my friend Michael Bailey, you must know that this guy has become the most famous box office poison in Hollywood in the past two years.

Therefore, Paramount has always lacked confidence in investing in this movie. This is why this movie has been delayed again and again, and it has not been released until now.

As for Don Murphy, it's not like he didn't look for other suitable investment partners. However, when those other film companies heard that the person who directed this film had been designated as Michael Bay, they all turned their backs.

His head shook like a rattle.

This is not the case when Michael Bay was booming a few years ago. Now this guy's reputation is almost far away from the bad streets. Who is still willing to invest money in such a box office poison?

And Jin Xiaoqiang's words about investing 30 million US dollars immediately made Michael Bay and Don Murphy's eyes light up. Such an enemy is really hard to find!

Even Nick Reilly was shocked when he heard this number. In his opinion, Jin Xiaoqiang was really rich, but he couldn't waste money like this, right?

Doesn't he know what Michael Bay's situation is?

GM did not spend too much money on this "Transformers", of course because they have a deep relationship with Paramount. Both parties have cooperated in countless movies over the years, and most of the movie's vehicles are

But they are all sponsored by General Motors. In fact, they have good relations with many Hollywood producers.

This is also the main reason why people often see American cars in Hollywood movies, but in fact, in the United States, pure American cars, that is, their large SUVs and pickup trucks, can still be sold and used at home.

When it comes to cars, it's not like in the movies where Fords and GMs are everywhere. In fact, Toyotas and Hondas are everywhere, pretty much the same.

But they didn't know that Jin Xiaoqiang didn't think so at all at this time.

There are several reasons why Jin Xiaoqiang dared to spend so much money on this movie.

The first is because this "Transformers" will be a huge success all over the world, earning more than 700 million in box office in one fell swoop. And because of the success of this movie, Paramount is even more uncontrollable.

Three movies were made, and the global box office of each one was no less than US$700 million. The box office of the last three movies exceeded US$2.659 billion globally.

So this is a big gold nugget. Paramount is still hesitant about whether to invest in this movie or how much to invest in this movie, so now is the best time to start.

Secondly, I just used the power of this movie to promote my corporate brand and culture.

You must know that although Huayang Dynamics is now quite well-known around the world, they are a new company after all, and their global influence is still limited. Compared with companies such as General Motors, Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen,

Not on the same level at all.

Therefore, following this movie to enhance the influence of corporate brands around the world is a very worthwhile investment.

Moreover, China's export products have always had a poor international image. In fact, as long as friends who have been abroad, they may know that China's manufacturing is synonymous with cheapness and poor quality abroad.

Moreover, neither the products of China nor the images of Chinese people in Hollywood movies are very good. This is also related to Hollywood's consistent discrimination against China and the West's hostility towards China.

And you cannot deny or ignore the influence of Hollywood on this planet. After all, English is the common language in the world, and the United States is the largest single hegemon on the planet.

Therefore, if we want to reverse the image of Chinese manufacturing and Chinese people around the world, opening a gap in Hollywood is bound to be a key.

Take Sony for example. Their acquisition of Columbia Pictures not only greatly improved the popularity of Japanese electronic products in the world, but also greatly improved the image of the Japanese around the world. You must know that they appear in many movies.

In American blockbusters, they all appear in positive images.

It is almost impossible for Tianchao Company to acquire a Hollywood film company now, but this does not prevent them from cooperating with Hollywood film companies to enhance the international image of Chinese manufacturing and Chinese people.

The third thing is that everyone knows that after the great success of "Transformers", many Chinese companies made large investments in the final step of "Transformers 3".

For example, Erli Milk spent tens of millions, and Temes spent an even more than one million, and later stratified sales to the crew of "Transformers 3" just to make pig feet wear theirs.

T-shirt only a few minutes.

And that DCL even provided their after-sales service layer to "Transformers 3". The purpose was just to have their products appear in the entire movie for a few seconds...

Rather than letting these black-hearted foreigners earn this money, it is better to earn it yourself...

So this is also the main reason why Jin Xiaoqiang extended his olive branch to the great director Michael Bay who was at the lowest point in his life.

You must know that this director, after the great success of "Transformers", has a very large say in the production of the next two "Transformers".

It is very cost-effective to make an appropriate emotional investment in him at this time, and in the next few years, I will not have to worry about whether I can invest in the "Transformers" movie.

So at this time, Don Murphy and Michael Bay were very grateful to Jin Xiaoqiang, while Nick Reilly thought that Jin Xiaoqiang had been burned out by the continuous success, but they didn't know that at this time, Jin Xiaoqiang was in this movie.

Investment calculations against Americans.

After all, he is a person who has experienced this before. As a person with foresight, if he does not make good use of this opportunity and make money in the United States, he will be very sorry for his own chance of rebirth.

The communication that night was very lively, and in the end Nick Reilly arranged for the butler and his own chef to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Nick Reilly was non-committal about Jin Xiaoqiang's move of spending 30 million for nothing. Anyway, Jin Xiaoqiang has money, so he can play whatever he wants.

Don Murphy and Michael Bay were extremely grateful to Jin Xiaoqiang, and they were also very excited about Jin Xiaoqiang's ideas for movies that popped up from time to time. They felt that this person had great ideas for movies, but it was a pity that he was just a car designer.

, if he enters the film industry, he might also become a world-class director.

How did they know that this was Jin Xiaoqiang taking their previous ideas and selling them to them again?

As a result, the result of the exchange that night was that the host and guest had a great time, and at the end, Tang Murphy, who was drunk, kept giving Jin Xiaoqiang a heartfelt assurance, asking him to rest assured that he would return to Paramount's headquarters tomorrow.

Go and convince the company's senior executives to allow Jin Xiaoqiang to join.

You must know that 30 million investors are not a small number, and Paramount will not be unhappy with this injection of funds, and Jin Xiaoqiang is even more generous.

He has repeatedly said that 30 million US dollars is just child's play. If you think it is not enough, then tell us again and we will give you a check and expand the investment to 50 million. It will not be a problem.

And if this movie is successful, then if you have plans to make a sequel in the future, just come to me. If Paramount is not willing to invest by then, then I will.

Immediately, Don Murphy and Michael Bay were so grateful that they almost knelt down in front of Jin Xiaoqiang. You must know that Don Murphy had been arguing with Paramount's executives for more than two years for this movie, and it wasn't until the beginning of this year that they finally got some results.

If I could have met a wise man like Jin Xiaoqiang earlier, what relationship would Paramount have?

And the one who was moved by it was Michael Bay. He has become like this. In the past, the producers who were brothers to him were not even willing to meet him. Now that a foreigner can stand up for himself with such international sentiments, it is really special.

They are enough buddies. If he knew that there was such a thing as sworn brothers in China, he and Jin Xiaoqiang would probably chop off the chicken heads and burn the yellow paper tonight...
