Chapter 109: 600 million cost [Fourteenth update]
"Click..."
Qin Dong carried a few lunch boxes and opened the house in Dongcheng District.
The living room is very dark, there is no light, only the bedroom has light.
Qin Dong put down his lunch box and walked over to open the bedroom door. He found Mimi leaning on the bedside and concentrating on reading the script, and didn't notice him coming back.
"Baby, wash your hands and eat. Watch after you finish."
Mimi was stunned. When she saw Qin Dong coming back, she quickly dropped the script and rushed over:
"Husband, you are back."
Qin Dong reached out to catch his beloved, and while carrying him to the bathroom, he laughed:
"It's only been a few hours since we last met. Do you miss your husband?"
The woman had called her this name once before, but Qin Dong forced her to do so. This time, she took the initiative to call him this name. Of course, Qin Dong had to call himself himself, and Mimi had to get used to it.
"Well, I miss you. Without you, the house feels so deserted."
Mi Mi nodded innocently.
Qin Dong rubbed the woman's hair:
"Husband likes to hear this, come on, give me a kiss."
After saying that, he lowered his head and started to kiss.
"Well..."
Mimi accepted it readily, but after discovering that the man's hand was dishonest, she pushed it away:
"Okay, let's eat first, I'm starving to death, and then..."
Since it's okay at night, Qin Dong is of course not in a hurry.
...
On the dinner table.
"Honey...husband, do you really plan to buy the house in the TV series script and film it?"
While Mimi was eating, she thought of the script and asked.
I was shy at first, but after calling her husband twice, I got used to it, and now I naturally shouted out.
Qin Dong casually picked up some vegetables for Mimi and then said:
"Yes, you have also seen that the house I wrote about is better. I think it is suitable for us to live in. I simply bought it and started filming. It is regarded as an investment property, so this TV series will be put on the back burner until a few of my movies are released.
Finally, you have to have money, but you can just keep an eye on it and see where the properties are suitable. I can still squeeze in the down payment and decoration money."
Qin Dong has already thought about it. He won't have to pay a penny of the cost of the new movie, and he can deduct some from it for personal use.
Mimi ate the vegetables Qin Dong picked up and nodded:
"Okay, listen to my husband, this will be our future love house, hehe..."
Qin Dong also laughed. It was the first time he heard that a house could also be a seal of love:
"Okay, I'll buy it when the time comes, and you'll be the one to decorate it. Everything will be up to you and according to your preferences."
Mimi smiled and nodded repeatedly:
"Hmm, um, okay."
"By the way, hubby, the movie script you wrote is not cheap. Why do I feel like it needs special effects from beginning to end?"
Qin Dong swallowed the rice in his mouth before explaining:
"It's not all about special effects. You can build props and add CG production, but the cost is really high, so I don't plan to shoot it now."
"It will take at least a year. I have calculated the cost and it will cost more than 600 million to start."
"How many?"
Mimi stopped eating:
"Six hundred million? Still starting?"
Suddenly I felt that the food in front of me no longer tasted good.
How can we make movies with 600 million? Why don’t we keep it for anything?
Qin Dong put down his bowls and chopsticks, looked at Mimi and said seriously:
"Baby, so you start now. Before filming this film, you must practice your acting skills step up. Don't let your husband rush to the street when the time comes. Then I will have to beg for food."
Mimi suddenly felt so stressed.
Can she afford the cost of more than 600 million?
For a movie with this kind of cost, if you want to make money back, the box office has to start at 1.7 billion to make money back.
But in the past two years, although there have been many movies with a box office of over 100 million, there are very few that have exceeded 500 million.
The only one with more than 1 billion was a foreign film.
1.7 billion? Alexander.
Mimi thought for a while and tentatively asked Qin Dong:
"Husband, why don't we stop filming? I feel so much pressure on this kind of film. Let's let someone else do it."
Seeing that the woman was frightened, Qin Dong smiled and reached out to stroke Mimi's hair:
"Baby, don't worry, I don't plan to invest all the money myself. I'll get people to invest when the time comes."
This is what Qin Dong is saying. This film is not even a co-production. Qin Dong has not yet figured out how to change it into a co-production.
As for the cost, other companies must invest money.
Don't say Qin Dong doesn't have money now. Even if he has money by then, he won't invest alone. He will have to recruit people, and by then he should be able to exchange for artificial intelligence.
It is said that the cost is 600 million, but in fact the special effects account for 500 million. But if there is artificial intelligence, hey, this money will go directly into Qin Dong's pocket, and other companies will not be able to find out.
So Qin Dong hasn't decided yet, everything will be discussed when the time comes.
Mimi felt a little better after hearing this:
"Okay, we must get other people to invest. If we don't invest ourselves, the cost will be too high."
Previously, members of her family, including her uncle, settled the accounts for Mimi, as if she could earn a billion if she was prosperous in her life.
But those were all imaginary, and they were calculated over a lifetime. Now, the 600 million-dollar movie script was right in front of her, and it was real.
"Don't worry about eating. Your husband and I know very well and won't take risks."
Qin Dong handed the chopsticks to Mimi.
This is also what he thinks, there is no need to take risks.
Just like after I planned to shoot "Source Code", I would shoot a special effects blockbuster next, but the cost was too high and I felt it was risky, so I just pushed it forward. If someone took over, let it go, and he could get a share of the box office just from the script.
This kind of thing does not happen in China, but it is not the first case in Hollywood. A long time ago, there were screenwriters who got a share of the global box office based on their scripts.
For example, a foreign female writer got a share of the box office with the copyright of her novel "Hog Potter". From a single parent who had trouble eating, she suddenly became a top rich woman.
Now that he is not rich, Qin Dong really doesn't want to break the current situation. What if something unexpected happens and the movie fails?
Although I can still get up, it's still not good.
Step by step, he worked steadily, and his wealth became stronger and stronger. At that time, not to mention the cost of 600 million or 1.6 billion, Qin Dong did not dare to invest on his own without blinking an eye.
"Well, hubby, let's not take risks. Come and eat meat."
Mimi felt much relieved after hearing the man's words, and was busy filling Qin Dong's meat.
Having eaten with this man several times, Mimi already knew that he was a carnivore, no wonder he was so carefree.
...
The two men and women who were passionately in love were both stained while eating.
They can waste time, but they don't know it.
"Baby, have you finished reading the script? Have we taken a shower?"
Seeing that it was already nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Dong couldn't wait any longer and urged the woman who was still reading the script.
"Dingling bell..."
Mimi stood up and was about to take a shower. She knew that the man couldn't bear it anymore. Bad men have great physical strength. Then the phone suddenly rang.
When she saw that the note was [Mom], Mimi quickly said to Qin Dong:
"Husband, don't talk, my mother is on the phone."
Seeing Qin Dong nodding, he picked up the phone:
"Hey, Mom, I've eaten. I'm not going back tonight. My friend is here to play. Well, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Mimi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that her mother would force her to go back.
Just when she was about to say something to Qin Dong, she saw a naked man standing next to her and subconsciously shouted:
"ah..."
As soon as I screamed, my mouth was blocked.
"Well..."
Qin Dong was speechless, wasn't he just in a hurry to take a shower and take off his clothes?
At this moment, he directly kissed the woman on the mouth, picked her up and went straight to the bathroom.
