Chapter 666 Ten Movies Bob Shea thought about it for a day and agreed. The prospects of video tapes are promising. If we can really get a share of the pie, we can still make money if we own 40% of the shares. What he lacks now is his production ability, which is far inferior to Chen Qi. Chen Qi will set up a shell company and inject 600,000 US dollars in his name, and Bob Shea will invest 400,000, for a total of 1 million to establish this new company called "Focus Pictures" - Focus Pictures is also a well-known company in Hollywood in later generations, and Same with Legendary Pictures. Since then, Focus has been responsible for video production, distribution and television channels. “It’s impossible for them to order 10 units. I will make 5 films for them and then stop there. We will distribute the remaining 5 films ourselves. So by this time next year, you should at least have established channels in the greater Los Angeles area. If you don't do it, there is no need for this company to exist. " "I know!" Bob Shea added: "We can't pay for it ourselves. We have to ask Brown to advance part of the funds and shoot 2 movies first. I will talk to him!" "Well, that coincides with this!"
Chen Qi smiled, handed over a piece of paper and said, "This is the film list, take a look!" Bob Shea took it over and took a look. It was written in English, including "Forbidden Room 2 and 3", "The Shock", "Cannibal", "Orange Is the New Black 1 and 2", "Sweetie" and "The Amityville Horror 123". Each film has a brief introduction: "Shock" tells the story of a beautiful girl who becomes infected with an unknown virus after a one-night stand. Her body changed little by little, her body temperature dropped, her skin rotted, and she became moody... She had to hide at home and killed her neighbors... and finally turned into a zombie. It happened that her parents came to see her, and when they opened the door, they saw It's my daughter's **** mouth. "Cannibal" is a mockumentary that tells the story of a group of people going on an adventure in the forest and discovering a primitive tribe of cannibals, who were eaten one by one. "Sweetheart" tells the story of a little girl whose sister was raped and killed by several men. She set up a trap in a house and used herself as a bait to kill them all in revenge. "Orange Is the New Black" A group of women fight with their **** exposed. "The Amityville Horror" A family moves into a new home and is constantly haunted. By the way, there are always people who make a fortune from the two films "The Blair Witch Project" and "The Haunting of Hill House". Yes, these two films are very low-cost, but the former cost Of the US$8 million in promotional fees, the latter spent more than US$10 million. In short, the ten films include blood, violence, pornography, weirdness, and standard B-level movie templates. And most of the scenes take place indoors, cheaply, with the exception of "Cannibal". Bob Shea asked: "The scene of "Cannibal" is set in a forest. Is there a tropical forest in Hong Kong?" "We can go to Thailand to shoot, where the cost is lower." "Which five films should I keep?" "Give them "Forbidden City 2 and 3", "Cannibal" and "Orange Is the New Black", and leave it to us to distribute it ourselves. Also, if it goes to theaters through your current channels, what do you think the results will be?" "A film can earn tens of thousands of yuan." Bob Shea was a little embarrassed and explained: "There are also high-investment B-level movies in the United States, with a film costing more than 1 million . dollars, and movie theaters like that will also want them. Mainstream theaters like us don't like them, and only colleges and universities , drive-in theaters, etc.” "Well, okay. Then we will do as we agreed." Chen Qi nodded. The reason why these five films were selected for sale is because the degree of **** is relatively high and they have to be produced by Hong Kong people. The remaining five films had little **** and were **** at most. He wanted to find mainland filmmakers. Although the mainland has quickly entered the era of dancing demons, it has not really made any pornographic films. It is more like a cult film, and the **** is covered up.
… After Bob Shea left, Chen Qi rarely had time to spare. He is only waiting for two pieces of news now, one is the official release of the domestic film reform document, and the other is the Golden Horse Awards. The Olympic Games are over, and the two places are communicating about the champion's visit to Hong Kong. The British Hong Kong government is obstructing it, not the visit to Hong Kong, but the date: the mainland hopes to visit Hong Kong during the National Day. The British Hong Kong government feels that it is too shameful. Are you celebrating your return? This doesn't care about Chen Qi. Now he was sitting in his office, flipping through the script of "A Better Tomorrow". Wei Jiahui was very good at writing, and the writing was pretty good. After reading it, he called Zhuang Cheng: "Has the Golden Horse nomination been announced? It won't be until October, it's too long!" "Forget it, there is a film for you. You can find Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, or Wan Tsz-liang to act in it. The director can be whatever you want." He hung up the phone, not taking it seriously. It doesn't matter whether "A Better Tomorrow" succeeds or not, as long as it doesn't lose money. "Dingle bell!" The phone rang, and Gu Weili's voice came out: "Boss, it's time for you to go to the airport!" "knew!" Chen Qi immediately got up and went out. In the next room, the two of them listened to the sound of his leather shoes and walked further and further away. Jiang Zhiqiang asked: "What should we call the boss's wife? Should we call her Mrs. Chen?" "Shit! You should change your mind as soon as possible. Mainland lesbians have their own names. Just call them Sister Gong Xue." Gu Weili suddenly came up with the topic and said: "I didn't think so before. After joining the organization, I really felt that Hong Kong was very feudal. Women lose their names when they get married. They are called Tai. Everyone is looking forward to marrying a rich man. If you don't have a name, you won't have a share." I don’t mind, isn’t it just my former concubine?” "It's the same in the United States. Many American women take their husband's surname when they get married." “Hong Kong used to take the husband’s surname!” Gu Weili shook her head and said, "No wonder the boss always says that we live in a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society!" … A plane landed at Kai Tak Airport. Gong Xue got off the plane with her bag, received her luggage, and walked out in high heels. She wore a floral skirt, tied her hair back with a handkerchief, and wore sunglasses. She had a style that combined Chinese and Western styles. She already knows how to match it herself. At the end of August, she went to the Venice Film Festival with the crew of "Under the Bridge". She didn't win any awards, but she was very happy. Going abroad, Italy was unlocked, and France, Germany, and the United States were all visited. Historically, she actually often visited Japan, and also acted in a co-production drama "Unknown Name", which also included Yuko Tanaka, who was Ashin. Japanese media calls her "China's Keiko Matsusaka." As a result, now I am following Chen Qi. The movie "Life is Beautiful" has made it unpopular with some Japanese people. The Ministry of Culture is also afraid of trouble and never arranges for Gong Xue to visit Japan. "Archie!" Gong Xue stood on the roadside and waited for a while. She saw a Mazda driving over and waved happily. Chen Qi got out of the car, put his arm around her slim waist, and spun her around.
"Ouch! Put me down, everyone is watching!" "Who's watching?" Chen Qi turned around and saw Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang smiling as if they were meeting their biological mothers. "Get in the car, I've made all the arrangements!" The two of them sat in the back seat, and he said, "There is a play called "Why Do You Have Me", and you happen to be staying in Hong Kong for a while." "What are you talking about?" "In a show that cares for people with intellectual disabilities, you play the protagonist as a neighbor, so it's just a guest appearance." (End of chapter)
