Chapter 313 Who Will He be
"How about Manhua? How about the box office of Terminator?"
Li Manhua took out the information and said: "China is close to 1.50 billion, Asia is 2 billion, the United States is 700 billion, the Americas is 1.73 billion, the United Kingdom is 50 million, and Australia is 450 million... "It's much better than the first one." Ye Zhiqiu said, somewhat in his heart.
Terminator invests 300 million yuan. If the mess is not counted by the entertainment guild, I'm afraid it will be close to 400 million.
As for the investment of Terminator II, the actual investment adds up to more than 500 million yuan. Although the standard of the Entertainment Association only recognizes the investment of 250 million yuan, on the surface, it seems to be only 1.5 billion more, but in terms of box office, whether it is China, the United States, or Asia and America, the sum of the box office is more than enough. One billion.
Coupled with the accidents of several European and New continent countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia, the box office made an extra profit, which also made Ye Zhiqiu quite happy.
Although the outside world recognizes his reputation, the box office will certainly not be much worse, but seeing is believing, Ye Zhiqiu still pays more attention to the actual box office results.
What just makes Ye Zhiqiu depressed is that his box office performance in China has reached 1,955 billion. On the contrary, the total box office in Asia has only reached 2 billion. Although this is also a great achievement and pride for the outside world, it is undoubtedly a huge irony for Ye Zhiqiu. This proves that in various countries in Asia alone, he still has 60% to 70% of the market that has not been occupied.
Although each country is of different in size, not as large as China, and the population is not as large as that of China. Even the population of more than 20 countries adds up to more than 3 billion, it is only more than 3 billion. Compared with China, a superpopulated country with a population of 2 billion, it is not a little or two, but the population of more than 3 billion, each country There are also a lot of cinemas, and it is impossible that the box office is just the same as that of China.
This made Ye Zhiqiu feel sorry, recognizing that this is the result of the restrictions of the world's entertainment system and the restrictions on the number of cinemas in various countries, which cannot be changed by his personal influence and manpower for the time being.
Unlike some countries, although the United States is not as large as that of China, it is a veritable film kingdom. The number of cinemas alone is almost the same as that of China, which shows the madness of its citizens watching movies. However, the number of 6,500 cinemas and the box office has only reached 700 million. Although this result is already very good, it is still not enough for Ye Zhiqiu to be satisfied than his achievements in China.
Fortunately, after experiencing the success of the first part of the Terminator and the Destiny Planning Bureau, he has stopped in the United States. At present, the success of the second part of the Terminator will inevitably bring him a step closer. As long as he can grasp the future, he will certainly turn the United States upside down as he did in China, and then the whole United States The people have accepted him, and Jinzun Pavilion will not regard him as non-existent.
As for the box office of about 5 billion yuan, although it has been looked up to by many people. However, it still can't be compared with the world-class directors of Jinzun Pavilion such as Lu Zhishu, Zhou Mutai and James, which is close to 20 billion. It can't be compared with the evil box office results of more than 20 billion yuan surpassed by Myster, the king of the world of Jinzun Pavilion, but it is worth celebrating that Ye Zhiqiu is at least qualified to get started.
In the next few months, Terminator II will also land in some European countries, some countries in Xinzhou, and some countries in India. Even if it doesn't work, it can add up to more than 1 billion at the box office. In this way, the box office performance of nearly 7 billion is also very good.
Compared with the investment of less than 500 million yuan recognized by the outside world, this is already a big profit, and there is no faster way to make money than this, just like grabbing money.
In fact, there is also a reason why Ye Zhiqiu is not satisfied. Because the money and money in this world are common, Ye Zhiqiu has always thought that the money here is worthless, and for a long time, this concept has been lingering in his heart. He always believes that the billion here is the 100 million dollars of the earth in the previous life, and 6 billion sounds good. It sounds scary. It seems that it is only 600 million US dollars. Although 20 billion US dollars sounds good, in Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, it is only more than 2 billion US dollars.
Although this is not the case in fact, it is Ye Zhiqiu who misunderstood, but he has always stubbornly thought so.
Because of the development of the entertainment industry in this world, the film industry of various countries is very closely connected, and the taxes on actors are also very high. At the same time, in the absence of money comparison, and the general enjoyment of people in this world, Ye Zhiqiu mistakenly believes that money is worthless. In fact, in terms of people's wages and consumption standards, it is not as unworthy as Ye Zhiqiu imagined.
In a word, this is an entertainment world that cannot be measured by thinking. Since it can't be measured, just enjoy it and experience it.
After these years of growth, Ye Zhiqiu has already accepted the reality and adjusted his mentality. It can be said that he lives with such a mentality. Otherwise, you won't gradually become so persistent and want to prove yourself.
On the other hand, although films like Terminator are not really blockbusters, they are also medium investment.
From the beginning of the project, to the preparation of all aspects, and then the remuneration of all major actors and actors, as well as post-production, publicity, release and other procedures, it is impossible to invest only three or four billion yuan along the way, but because of the existence of entertainment guilds and entertainment laws promulgated by various countries, Because its entertainment major is too much higher than that of the earth, it throws out all the miscellaneous money, and only calculates the main investment projects such as the actor's film remuneration when calculating the investment, so that Terminator II, which originally had a real investment of more than 550 million yuan, was finally determined by the entertainment guild as ceret, which also misled Ye Zhiqiu's many Judgment.
Of course, on the one hand, Ye Zhiqiu didn't care about the accounts, and all of them were handed over to Rainbow International and Fengyun Production Studio. For a long time, he only made money and spent money, so he had no idea about it, that's all.
With the knock on the door, Zou Lengfeng came in.
"Boss, this is a call from Tyron Jason, a veteran actor in Jinzun Pavilion."
"Tyron Jason?" Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised.
Zou Lengfeng took out a piece of information and gave it to Ye Zhiqiu and said, "This is Tailong's information. He is the most famous tough guy in Jinzun Pavilion. He was once listed as one of the four tough men in Jinzun Pavilion with Arnold, Yunton and Jason."
"He is from the United States, and he is also a famous director and producer..."
While listening to Zou Lengfeng's introduction, Ye Zhiqiu looked at Tailong's information. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. Finally, he couldn't help laughing, which surprised Zou Lengfeng and Li Manhua. They didn't understand why Ye Zhiqiu laughed.
In fact, there is also a reason for Ye Zhiqiu's smile, not only the name of Tailong, but also the photos, age, experience and so on. Ye Zhiqiu almost equalled this person with Stallone on earth.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but be a little curious and asked, "Did he call me?" What are you going to do with me?"
Zou Lengfeng said, "It happened yesterday. Yesterday, the boss, you were shooting bodyguards. At night, I didn't have time to tell you about it because I worked overtime to shoot too late."
"First of all, congratulations on the Terminator box office sale, and then wants to ask you out to talk. He is very curious and interested in you."
Li Manhua smiled and said, "Head, you now have the title of a tough man in the United States. I don't know how many Americans your Terminator has conquered."
Zou Lengfeng also nodded: "Tailong, as a veteran tough guy in Jinzun Pavilion, although he has gradually disappeared in recent years because of his old age, fans around the world are still looking forward to him very much. I guess it may have something to do with the movie."
Ye Zhiqiu was also a little confused. He thought for a moment and said, "Qeng Feng, you call Tailong now. If he has anything important, I can take an afternoon to talk to him..."
"Okay, boss." After saying that, Zou Lengfeng went out.
Li Manhua continued to report: "Head, Miss Shaman came to you in private yesterday and said she wanted to talk to you."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned: "Shaman? One of the top ten actresses in the United States? Didn't she come with Nicholas?
Li Manhua shook her head and said, "She came here alone, but when she learned that you were filming, she left again. Let me leave you a message saying that she is bored alone and wants to relax alone..."
Ye Zhiqiu's expression was a little strange. Seeing that Li Manhua's eyes were slightly mummy and some crescent-shaped, he realized that the secretary might have been slandered in his heart.
"After the cold front determines the time, you can help me make an appointment with Nicholas and Shaman, and I'll sit with them." Ye Zhiqiu said, and at the same time, he warned Li Manhua with his eyes, meaning that she should not think nonsense.
Li Manhua spit out his tongue and said, "Head, Director Lu Zhishu also sent a message, saying that if you are busy, you can report to the Iron and Blood Battlefield crew in September."
Ye Zhiqiu was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhishu was really reconciled. The progress of the bodyguard was beyond his imagination. Qin Chang's three concerts alone were a great scene. At present, he has just finished shooting a large-scale singing party in the United States, and he will soon return to China to shoot one, and then turn to Britain. The schedule has been arranged for the shooting of the big show.
The fastest shooting will be in August, and I'm afraid the post-production will be delayed until September. Now Lu Zhishu has given him enough time, and he doesn't have to be so nervous.
"Boss, the time has been determined. Tailong said that he has set a private room in the cloud seat. He will go to the cloud seat first and welcome you there." Zou Lengfeng reported.
Ye Zhiqiu is strange. This Tailong is too enthusiastic about himself. I'm afraid it's not a simple thing.
"Cloud, it's a real luxury place." Ye Zhiqiu sighed.
Yunza is the most expensive entertainment and leisure center in the capital of the United States. It is a paradise for the rich, a gathering place for playboys, a leisure and entertainment place for young ladies in the world, and a good place for the nightlife of the superstars of the Golden Tower.
Ye Zhiqiu was also taken by Nicholas and Tonis twice, but he was extremely luxurious, more luxurious than the most luxurious water clouds in Qingyang City.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Zhiqiu said, "Ceng Feng, please explain to the crew that there will be a holiday in the afternoon, let everyone take a break in the afternoon, and those who should go out to play will go out to play. This intensity of more than a month is too high."
Zou Lengfeng nodded.
Ye Zhiqiu said again, "Manhua, you contact Nicholas and Shaman and say that I will ask them to go out and sit together in the evening. It's better to tell Qin Luan. Forget it, I'll tell Qin Luan myself."
"Wait, you can contact the luxurious place and inform all the people of Fia, Tonis, Ogas and Michael in the evening, saying that I will treat them in the evening and let them have fun."
Li Manhua was overjoyed and nodded. After confirming that nothing happened, he went out happily.
"Ceng Feng, I'll leave this to you after I leave."
Zou Lengfeng nodded. Ye Zhiqiu got up and said to Zi Yuxun beside him, "Yu Xun, you can contact Xiaolong, Ge Hu and Xia He. Let's go to Yunzuo in ten minutes."
"Okay." Zi Yuxun nodded, then walked out, and came in a moment later.
"I'm ready. Let's go downstairs in five minutes."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded. He was used to such high efficiency. If there was really something wordy, although he would not be in a hurry, I'm afraid he would feel a little uncomfortable.
From shooting fairy tale musicals in Shanghua, to my savage girlfriend, to the upgrade of movies, from the size of the scene to the size of the difficulty, he came over step by step. Although there were various difficulties during this period, because his foundation was very solid, he also overcame them all.
Although the current team is not top-notch, it is at least first-class. Ye Zhiqiu is also proud to be able to win all kinds of movies, and he is almost handy in command.
At the same time, in terms of the speed of shooting the film, from the beginning to now, he has also mastered a unique rhythm that only suits him. Although the rhythm is fast, it is orderly. There are few superfluous things that happen to him and things beyond his control. This can only be honed by shooting films all year round.
Nowadays, he is also known as a perfect fast knife in the world film industry, describing the speed he shoots quickly, and the films he shoots are also extremely classic.
The most important point is that because there have always been various classic series comparisons of the earth, Ye Zhiqiu has also developed a style of not holding back when editing his film. What he doesn't need is that he doesn't need it. If he likes it, he likes it, which is also something that countless directors are not competent.
With the progress step by step, until now, although the Terminator has caused him some minor trouble, he still took it down. Now he has a strong confidence to win any movie he wants to make.
In the process of constantly imitating classics, creating classics, and editing classics, he also developed a kind of capture of classics, transformation of classics, and appreciation of classics. After synthesis, Ye Zhiqiu thought that he could completely create his own film, so he I'm also working hard little by little.
After shooting the movies he wants to make, he wants to make a few movies of his own, which can move the world, shock the world, and his own.
With such an idea, Ye Zhiqiu recorded all his ideas, feelings and occasional inspirations in his spare time in the small notebook he carried with him. In addition to being a director and an actor, all his feelings were also recorded, that is, to prepare for his future.
Five minutes later, Ye Zhiqiu went downstairs and quietly drove to Yunzuo, accompanied by Zi Yuxun, Ma Xiaole, Ge Hu and others.
Cloud Tower, a 100-storey skyscraper, is a world-renowned entertainment center. There are gambling, entertainment, and almost all kinds of things you can think of and unexpected.
There are all the famous entertainments in the world, with all races in the world, thousands of beautiful women and handsome men, and countless rich stars.
Here, there are politicians, movie stars, the world's richest people, gorgeous women from rich families, playboys, and beautiful women who dwind you.
"Miss Paris, welcome. It's an honor to help you park the car." The handsome doorman smiled and bowed, showing elegant etiquette.
"Wo, are you new here? It seems that you haven't seen it. If you have time, you can come to the 18th floor..." The woman with a sense of surname is charming, and the back skin of ** is like bronze. With a hot figure, it attracts all the male guests who have just got out of the car and are about to enter.
"Who is this woman?" Someone asked.
"Don't you know? She is Paris, the eldest daughter of the Hilton family, and a world-famous gorgeous girl. Are you interested? The man said with a smile.
"She's Paris, forget it. I can't take such a woman..." The person who spoke before retreated, but despite this, her eyes stared at Paris with bright eyes.
"Paris, you seduce the little virgin again. Will Weiss be angry if you know?" A voice with a sense of surname came out, but a beautiful woman dressed in a red surname came down from a luxurious red limited sports car, and the exclamation sounded again.
"Who is she? She's no worse than Paris."
"You are so pitiful that you don't know anything. She is Monica, one of the top ten actresses in the United States, and her ranking is still before Paris..."
"What day is it today? Why are so many beautiful women coming at once?"
"Monica, what about you? Have you changed men again..." Paris said with a charming smile.
"Oh, that's Tyron. Is he there too?"
The crowd had a small scratch because of the sudden appearance of a muscular man.
"Wow, I'm 60 years old. I don't look like I'm in my forties at all."
"Look at his muscles. After so many years, he hasn't changed much."
"Sure enough, it is one of the most famous tough guys in Jinzun Pavilion."
"Mr. Tailong, I'm your fan. Can you sign it for me?" After seeing Tailong, a young man who had just got off the bus first was overjoyed and then rushed up.
"I'm sorry, I'm waiting for someone. Yunzuo also has its own rules. I can't break the rules here." Tailong politely refused, and the four bodyguards beside him also protected Tailong.
"Tyron, I'm Paris. You are my idol. I'm holding a life banquet on the 18th floor today. Can I invite you to be my guest?" Paris's eyes glowed, and she immediately showed her charm and released electricity to Tyron.
Tailong smiled politely and said, "It's nice to meet you, Miss Paris. Say hello to your father. We are friends. If you have time, I will go to your birth party, but please forgive me. I'm waiting for important friends."
"Mr. Tailong, what friend will let you wait here?" Monica, who didn't go in, also asked in time. If she could have a relationship with Tyron, it would be a huge topic. The two were originally topic figures, and they were famous beautiful women and stars in the United States. Even if they just talked a few words, their names would appear in tomorrow's entertainment report. Such a good thing. Why not do it?
As a yellow sports car stopped, a beautiful woman came down from the car, and many people who did not enter were shocked again.
"Shaman, you're finally here." Paris and Monica were led up.
Shaman said doubtfully, "Paris, how can there be so many people, all your friends? Oh, my God, this is Tailong. Did you invite Tailong?
Paris smiled and said, "No, Mr. Tyron is waiting for someone. Why don't we wait..."
The two also nodded one after another, and for the huge Yunzuo, although there are so many people gathered at the door, the huge open space is enough for pedestrians to come and go in and out. Although many people are very curious and reporters are taking photos, because the Yunzuo has its own regulations, no one came to sign. And a group photo.
"Yu Xun, how can there be so many people gathered at the gate of Yunzuo?" As soon as he entered the gate of the Cloud Tower, Ye Zhiqiu saw more than 30 people gathered at the door.
"Xiao Long, you and Xia He go down and have a look first." Ge Hu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke.
Suddenly, a car in front of me drove out first, and then stopped, and the doorman was responsible for parking.
"It's okay." The two words made Ge Hu and Zi Yuxun clear in their hearts. Ye Zhiqiu also nodded after hearing this, and then drove to the door of Yunzuo.
"Do you dare to park here in a car that doesn't even have a sign?" Someone sneered.
Which one of the people who comes to Yunzuo is not rich, which one has at least more than 100 million assets, and more than tens of billions of billions are also ordinary, so almost everyone who comes here drives tens of millions of luxury cars. Even if it is not a global limited edition, it must be a top noble and luxurious car, which will be like the one in front of us. An ordinary car.
"This is a customized car. You can't take it down without 50 million." There was still someone who knew the goods in the crowd, and suddenly said such a sentence, and the person who spoke before suddenly blushed and squeezed into the crowd.
As the saying goes, he spent 50 million yuan to customize a car with an ordinary appearance and no logo features. This is not Ye Zhiqiu's idea, but the Ye family is worried about Ye Zhiqiu's safety and customize it for him on their own initiative. Although it seems ordinary, it is actually a shocking defense. People.
At this time, many people are curious about the people in the car. They don't know who this person will be, and they will take 50 million yuan to customize such an ordinary car.
"Who will he be?" Everyone guessed.
The door opened, and Zi Yuxun and Ge Hu got out of the car. Their strong figure and strong physique suddenly made many women's eyes bright. In addition, the four strong bodyguards in black suits who got off the car before showed that this person's identity was extraordinary.
As the door was opened by Zi Yuxun, one foot stretched out, and then the whole person appeared in front of everyone.
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
