World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Phoenix.

On the edge of the city, in the desert.

"Oh...oh...oh..."

"Kill...kill..."

"Blood donor, you can't run away..."

A rusty oil tanker with a shovel installed on the front was running wildly in the desert.

Behind and around, there were many motorcycles and various modified cars chasing after him.

Most of the people on the vehicles were bald men who were all white and frightening. They looked like leukemia patients. They were yelling like lunatics. From time to time they were shouting, mixed with threats to the people inside the oil tanker.

"Chairman, it's lunch time. The flight is booked for one o'clock."

When Qin Dong finished filming a new plot, Zheng Dajun came over to remind him.

"knew."

After hearing this, Qin Dong paused for a moment to understand what he meant. He picked up the loudspeaker and stood up and shouted to the crew:

"Okay, that's the end of today's shooting. I'll give you a day off and we'll be shooting tomorrow afternoon."

"yeah..."

"Okay..."

Many people cheered. It was really hard to shoot in the desert in this kind of summer.

Qin Dong looked around and found that most of the people shouting were foreigners. These people represented the people who could not endure hardship.

"Oh, Qin, you finally realized your conscience. I can have a good rest. I'm almost turning into a black man when I'm basking in the sun in the desert every day."

Nicolas Cage came over with Charlize Theron, and the sound came before anyone else.

"Nicola, if this is what Charize said, I agree, but you, you have been on leave for more than a month and have been on leave for ten days. You are not qualified to say that."

Qin Dong complained rudely after hearing this.

"No, Qin Dong, although I took a few days off, it was also for the promotion of your movie [Super Human Body]. This is your movie."

Nicholas looked like you're getting an advantage and you're still being nice.

"Okay, you can have a good rest, but don't cause any trouble."

Qin Dong also knew this, so he didn't say much and gave a final warning.

Nicolas Cage is also one of the leading actors in "Superman", or the supporting role is suitable, and he is also one of the three important supporting roles. If Mr. Xuejian Li does not come to North America, and Wu Zhenyu is not well-known in the world, this

For a major female protagonist, we cannot just rely on Scarlett. Nicholas, a veteran superstar, must go out and make frequent appearances to promote the movie.

Even if he is filming a new movie now, Qin Dong still wants Nicholas to go out to promote it, but running back and forth like this is really annoying. Nicholas complained, and Qin Dong understood it, so he didn't say much.

"Don't worry, I know your habits and will be honest during the filming."

Nicholas nodded and agreed.

This Chinese director has no habit of going to nightclubs or smoking marijuana. Nicholas knows these things and is willing to cooperate for the sake of his future. At worst, he can go home and smoke slowly after the movie is shot.

"Qin, I didn't expect that you would have a movie released again. I congratulate you again and wish your movie a big hit at the box office."

Charize waited until the two men finished speaking before smiling and congratulating.

"Thank you, but this is my screenplay, not my movie."

Qin Dong smiled and nodded, but explained.

When I first wrote the movie script [2012 Doomsday], I originally kept it for myself to shoot. Unfortunately, Qin Dong calculated it carefully and found that the special effects for this movie were too expensive. At that time, he had no money to exchange for artificial intelligence.

In this case, you can only find a few special effects companies in Hollywood, and the budget must reach 200 million U.S. dollars, which is not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.

If there were no accidents, it would be difficult for this movie to make money at the box office. In order not to affect his reputation, Qin Dong gave up.

At that time, director Roland Emmerich wanted to make a doomsday theme, so Qin Dong simply opened his mouth and asked for a high share of the global box office. It would not affect his reputation, and he could also take the opportunity to make some money and praise his country.

The artist is perfect.

This movie cost more than 200 million U.S. dollars in the previous life, and tens of millions of promotional expenses, but the final box office seems to be only about 700 million U.S. dollars.

It seems like a lot, but if you calculate it carefully, it’s not because the box office in North America is small.

160 million in North America and more than 500 million in other regions.

In North America, the 50-50 opening is only 80 million, while the box office in other places is between 15 and 25 percent, which means that the box office profit in other regions is between 80 million and 150 million.

.

In other words, the best result of this movie is that the box office will be divided into about 230 million yuan.

However, the cost of the movie is more than 200 million, plus tens of millions of promotional expenses, not to mention 300 million, it is still close to 300 million.

No matter how you calculate it, it won't make money. At least in terms of box office, it will be good if you can break even without losing money, let alone make a profit.

In the future, we can only rely on offline discs and other copyrights to repay the money.

Qin Dong didn't have enough money to exchange for artificial intelligence at that time, and the cost was too high. At that time, the capital was not enough, so it was not cost-effective no matter how he calculated it, so he naturally gave up on the movie.

He can make a movie, and he can become famous with a box office of 700 million, but Qin Dong has so many scripts, there is no need to spend all his money on it, and finally make a movie that cannot make back the money at the box office.

...

June 21.

Los Angeles.

7pm.

As night falls, the city lights shine.

Huaxia Grand Theater.

The busiest theater in the world, too many movies hold their world premieres in this theater every year.

[The end of the world in 2012].

At this time, a large film and television sign was hung up in the cinema, and the lights flashed with the name of the movie.

On the poster, a middle-aged Chinese man drove an extra-long Rolls-Royce and flew up from a crack in the ground that was more than ten meters long. Behind the car was a scene of a collapsed high-rise building, and in the distance was a plane smoking.

Falling, there are fires everywhere in the city, and a poster can tell people at a glance that this is a city scene where a major disaster has occurred.

At this time, the red carpet has been laid out, fans on both sides are in place, and reporters have set up their shooting tools early.

Everything is ready and waiting for celebrities, as well as film directors and actors from the premiere to appear on the red carpet.

"Chinese Qin..."

"Oh... Blake..."

"Kate, I love you..."

Fans were not kept waiting for long, as stars from all walks of life appeared one after another.

Inside the theater at this time...

"Qin, let me introduce to you, the president of Columbia, Jeff Black. Director Roland Emmerich collaborated with Columbia on the movie [2012 Armageddon]."

Martin pulled Qin Dong to introduce him.

This was not a movie he shot. Qin Dong was naturally too lazy to walk on the red carpet before leaving. He boarded the red carpet in front and came to the theater.

Looking at the elderly white man in front of him, Qin Dong remained calm, did not smile, and did not take the initiative to reach out to say hello. He just looked at him quietly.

"Director Qin, nice to meet you."

Jeff Black's expression changed, but he still smiled, reached out his hand and explained:

"I know Director Qin may have some misunderstandings about me and Colombia, but it is really a misunderstanding. Colombia has sued Judi Dench. All the actions of this bitch have nothing to do with Colombia. It has also brought bad influence to us. Not only the influence

[007]'s box office performance also caused Director Qin to misunderstand us. This time Columbia will definitely sue to the end and make this bitch pay for the losses."

Jeff Black understands why Qin Dong is so cold.

Although Jeff has a bad opinion of Qin Dong, after all, this Chinese director caused Colombia heavy losses.

[007] is a long-running movie series that has become a hit all over the world, and it is also a money-making machine for Colombia.

But this China has prevented the latest movie "Skyfall" from being released in China, resulting in a loss of tens of millions of dollars. Thinking of this makes Jeff heartbroken.

But perception is perception. As the president of Columbia, Jeff Black is not a simple-minded person. He knew the reason, so he naturally pulled out the criminal and whipped the corpse once, not wanting to offend Qin Dong.

A [007] crisis made Jeff understand the influence of the Chinese director in front of him. He didn't want Columbia's movies to be released in China in the future, so he had to be patient and laugh with him, otherwise he might be in trouble with this film [007].

The end of the world in 2012] may not even come to China.

This kid was scolded a few times, but he actually spent hundreds of millions of dollars to fight a lawsuit. He has such a violent temper that you can't easily offend this kind of person.

This is the conclusion reached after discussions within Columbia's internal management.

"Suing this bitch Judy? Martin, is that true?"

Qin Dong didn't speak until he heard this, but he still confirmed to his agent that he couldn't just believe what others said.

"Well, Qin, Jeff didn't lie. I know this. Columbia did sue Judi Dench and wanted to compensate for the losses."

Martin nodded.

"Wow, Columbia made the right decision, President Jeff, nice to meet you."

When Qin Dong heard this, his expression immediately changed, he smiled, and reached out to hold the other person's hand.

"..."

Jeff Black laughed too.

But there is a feeling in my heart that I understand Qin Dong better.

This person has a very changeable temper and is really petty.

Jeff Black laughed too.

But there is a feeling in my heart that I understand Qin Dong better.

Jeff Black laughed too.
