Resource Tycoon Reborn

The global box office of one billion US dollars is not only a brilliant victory for a movie directed by a newcomer and not starring a top star, but also an out-and-out victory for most Hollywood film companies.

was a huge success, but for Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, this result can only be said to be good. After all, there are even more brilliant predecessors above it. Of course, the final global box office of "Fast and Furious" can be

There is still a lot of room for expectation as to how high it will reach. People are surprised by the amazing appeal of the works of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group in the global film market! Think about last year's "Hero" and "Harry Potter"

"Potter" global box office, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has become the well-deserved number one money maker in the film industry! People can't help but look forward to the many works that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group will launch this year.

For example, "Heroes 2" will be released in June. "Heroes" successfully won many film awards around the world, including Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Art Direction, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and

After nine nominations in six categories including Best Costume Design and Best Original Song, people's expectations for "Heroes 2" can be said to have reached unprecedented levels for Chinese-language films.

However, they did not know that "The Cove", a documentary filmed by American Louis Sihoyos, was invested and distributed by DreamWorks Film Company and will be officially released in the North American Film Market on May 18th.

What kind of storm will be set off!

On May 12, Fang Mingyuan's luxury business jet landed at the International Airport in Los Angeles, California, USA. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Cameron standing side by side with Mitsuri Uda under the gangway.

"James, why are you here?" Fang Mingyuan asked with some surprise. Shouldn't he be busy making the movie "Avatar" that has left a heavy mark in the history of movies? He was also looking forward to him finishing "Avatar".

, filming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies again.

"I heard that you are coming to Los Angeles. I happen to have some free time these days, so I came to see you." Cameron gave him a bear hug. "Thank you for supporting me!"

The movie "Avatar" actually started filming in a low-key manner in 2005. It was jointly invested and filmed by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, DreamWorks Pictures and Jade Bird Film Group. In fact, Cameron originally hoped to film it again.

Bringing two film companies in to share the huge investment, because the budget he proposed at that time was already as high as 380 million U.S. dollars. Although, in recent years, Hollywood's film investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is no longer breaking news. Every year

There are many big-budget movies released with investments exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars, but the preliminary budget of one movie has reached 380 million US dollars. It still scares many people.

The initial budget is US$380 million. Once the film is fully shot, it is certain to exceed US$400 million, and the shooting cycle will be as long as four years. Under such conditions, even those old Hollywood film companies feel a lot of pressure.

With this money and time, they can produce at least four big-budget films! Moreover, investing so much money and taking so long to shoot a film whose final box office is difficult to determine is too risky.

, once it fails, the film company may not be able to turn around for several years.

In the end, Fang Mingyuan decided that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group would bear 80% of the investment amount, and DreamWorks Pictures and Jade Bird Film Group would each contribute 10% to jointly invest in the filming of "Avatar". Moreover, despite his busy schedule,

Fang Mingyuan also personally joined the screenwriter camp and helped Cameron design many scenes and animal images.

And just in April this year, Cameron reluctantly submitted an application for additional investment, because he found that the investment of 380 million US dollars, according to the current progress, could only shoot 60%

to 70%. Originally, he thought that this matter would have to be wrangled for a while. After all, he required a total investment of US$500 million, which would be nearly US$100 million more. Even if it is a veteran film with a strong Hollywood family,

The company was also heartbreaking. What he didn't expect was that just two days later, Fang Mingyuan told him to just go ahead and shoot boldly. He had prepared another US$200 million for him. Even for DreamWorks movies

It doesn't matter if the company and Kingfisher Film Group are not willing to add additional funds.

"Avatar" has been Cameron's dream for many years to be put on the screen. For this reason, after the filming of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies was completed, Cameron did not make any more movies, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparation of "Avatar"

At work. In order to realize his dream, Cameron has paid a lot. For example, because of his persistence, he did not receive director fees for "Avatar". Only after the cost of "Avatar" was recovered, he was able to earn from profits.

Get some dividends.

Having been in Hollywood all his life, he naturally understands better than anyone the consequences of failure of such a large investment, and what kind of blow it will be to him personally and the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company.

, but Fang Mingyuan supported him without hesitation, and prepared sufficient funds for him just like when he was filming "Titanic", but he would not give any advice on his filming easily.

Fang Mingyuan patted his back and said with a smile: "I have confidence in you, and I have confidence in "Avatar". It will definitely not lose money, and maybe it will set a new global box office record."

"Then let me borrow your good words!" Cameron laughed. He is not the kind of person who waits for his mother-in-law. He just keeps his gratitude in his heart. There is no need to show it all the time. At this time, Uda Mitsuri has already met Zheng Jiayi

, Guo Qing'er hugged each other. The three girls hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had endless topics to talk about.

"I will attend the premiere of "The Cove"." Cameron patted Fang Mingyuan on the shoulder and smiled. He and Fang Mingyuan have been friends for many years. Knowing that Fang Mingyuan supports the filming of "The Cove", there must be some conspiracy behind it.

The purpose of the Japanese face, Cameron has also seen the changes in Japan in the past few years. However, this change is the deliberate indulgence of the US government, so what can he do?

"That's great. If you go, you will definitely attract the attention of the media." Fang Mingyuan said happily. He has no memory of the box office of "Dolphin Cove" in his previous life, but he has a vague impression. "Dolphin Cove" seems to be

I gained face but lost the box office. Although there were numerous praises in the media, not many people actually went into the cinema to watch it. Even though the box office revenue would not go into his own pocket, Fang Mingyuan agreed.

All the box office share earned by DreamWorks Movies will be donated to protect endangered animals. But if it is so miserable that the filming costs cannot be recovered, that would be a bit embarrassing.

Fang Mingyuan has invited a lot of people to the premiere of "The Cove". He himself is going to attend, and he is also standing to support Louis Sihoyos. After all, the better the box office performance of "The Cove", the better.

The more people see it, the greater the influence will naturally be. As for Cameron, he only mentioned it once. After all, Cameron is also under a lot of pressure now.

"You have to attend in person, how can I not come. And I believe that there will be many people who will attend in person." Cameron chuckled, "Speaking of media attention, if you are willing to attend the premiere

If you show your face on the Internet, I believe that even if the president makes an important speech, it will not be able to compare with the media's attention on you. By the way, Arnold will definitely come too."

Schwarzenegger was successfully re-elected as the governor of California, and his term will last until 2011. However, Fang Mingyuan knew that he would have a hard time in the following days. The governor of California has a prominent position in American politics. However, the responsibility is also extremely heavy.

.Although the economy is top-notch in the United States, the deficit is also top-notch. Next, his term can be said to be basically fighting the deficit. Schwarzenegger was able to successfully become the governor of California, and Fang Mingyuan was behind it.

He also contributed a lot. After he became the governor of California, he also vigorously promoted economic exchanges between California and Qinxi Province.

"Arnold is here. I have something to remind him." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said. After thinking about it, he still thought it would be better to remind Schwarzenegger in private to be mentally prepared for the subprime mortgage crisis. After all, he can be regarded as an old friend.

, and if he becomes a lame governor, it will not be a good thing for himself.

"What? You also feel that there are some problems with the economy?" Cameron stopped and asked seriously. Although he is not good at finance, his many years of social experience have made him feel that there are some problems with economic development recently.

In particular, New Century Financial Corporation, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, filed for bankruptcy protection due to its inability to repay its debts and laid off more than 50% of its employees. This incident gave Cameron an ominous feeling.

.

"Well, it's a big problem, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble." Fang Mingyuan lowered his voice and said, "However, I don't admit this to the outside world." Cameron nodded knowingly, and the U.S. stock market is still booming.

It is unpopular to easily pessimize the situation, especially a high-profile person like Fang Mingyuan, who will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. The people you save may not be grateful to you, but those who are ruined will

People will definitely hate you, and who can draw chestnuts from the fire, and who is a fuel-efficient lamp? If Fan Mingyuan can tell Cameron his opinions, he is already very worthy of Cameron. You must know that Fang Mingyuan's vision can be obtained

As proven by many previous cases, Cameron couldn't help but secretly figure out which aspects of his assets should be appropriately disposed of in order to reduce risks.

Cameron and Fang Mingyuan talked all the way until they came to the door of Uda Mitsuri's house in Beverly Hills. Then he said goodbye, got into his car and left. He still had a lot of things to do, so he could find time to go to the airport to meet Fang Mingyuan and

It is already a rare thing to accompany them all the way here. After washing up, the three of them played with the little guy for a while, and then went back to the room to rest. Although it was said that they were traveling on a luxury business jet, the jet lag was not so easy to overcome.

They came back, and they didn't take a full rest on the way here.

When Fang Mingyuan woke up again, the sun was already setting in the afternoon. Uda Guangli leaned on the bedside and patted him and said, "Stop sleeping, otherwise you won't be able to sleep again at night."

"Ha..." Fang Mingyuan yawned, sat up and said, "What time is it?"

"It's almost half past four, get up and move around." Uda Mitsuri chuckled, "The little guy is getting impatient. It's been a long time since you, a father, came here. By the way, why didn't I see Brother Chen?"

Brother Chen in Uda Mitsuri refers to Chen Zhong.

"Brother Chen is not young anymore. He has been following me around for most of the years. He should take a rest. I asked him to stay in Pingchuan and be responsible for the security of the family." Fang Mingyuan stretched out his arm to pull Yu Tian away.

Guangli held her in his arms, kissed her and said, "Thank you for your hard work these past two years." In order to take care of the children in the past two years, Uda Guangli has basically stopped acting, except for the occasional guest appearance in a certain movie.

Explanation. Although in the past two years, Fang Mingyuan has come to the United States from time to time, and Uda Mitsuri has also returned to Japan and China with his children, but in the end, there was less gathering and more separation.

"What's so hard about this? Apart from the fact that you're often not around, I don't need anything." Uda Mitsuri glanced at him and said coquettishly, "As long as you still think about our mother and son in your heart." Although she didn't say that she didn't.

She is often by Fang Mingyuan's side, but she also knows that most of Fang Mingyuan's energy is on work, and Zhao Ya is still pregnant, so it is normal for her to spend more time in Pingchuan Ancient City.

"I heard that Angelina has also joined your harem?" Uda Guangli squeezed in beside Fang Mingyuan and lay down more comfortably, "Qing'er, when do you plan to..."

"Yeah!" Fang Mingyuan reached out and slapped her, and said with a dark face, "When you have nothing to do, get up and play with the child!"

"Puch!" Uda Guangli couldn't help but smile coquettishly. It could instantly turn Fang Mingyuan into a black face. It seemed that he was indeed burdened with this matter.

"Besides, what do you mean Angelina has also joined? We are still in the adaptation period!" Fang Mingyuan said with a dark face.

"You..." Uda Mitsuri tapped Fang Mingyuan's forehead with his slender fingers, and said quietly, "You get a bargain and sell..."

Before she finished speaking, a childish voice said "touch m" from the door... (To be continued.)
