Chapter 840: Film and Television Layout Continued Three
From the moment Guo Tailai nodded and agreed to the huge investment, James felt like he was dying for his confidant. It was a feeling of being recognized and trusted professionally, which was very touching. At this moment, James had only one idea. According to G's requirements, he made the best film that had been conceived for many years with new technology.
Annie was also very satisfied. The boss cared about her opinion as the shareholder and CEO of Arts and Entertainment. Although she agreed to invest in James, she still agreed to attract partners. The lines also revealed the meaning of laying out the IMAX Cinema in China first. Is this planning to do it with the theater?
The only thing that is not so calm is Lin Jiayi. With a $600 million investment, the boss actually nodded directly, which was quite risky. However, Lin Jiayi did not play against Guo Tailai at the meeting, and she also agreed with what Guo Tai said. In the movie, James has never disappointed any investors. Even if the "Titanic" that many people are unhappy to cooperate with him, isn't it profitable?
"Boss, would it be a bit risky to invest 600 million US dollars at one time?" Lin Jiayi asked this question only after the meeting when she was alone with Guo Tailai.
"There are certain risks." Guo Tailai nodded and admitted. Of course, he could not say that he was sure to win: "However, the investment in some people is still worth it."
Lin Jiayi nodded, no longer had to worry about this issue. More than 700 tons of gold were spent on various channels, and it would be a waste to put it there. If someone else lost $600 million, it would be a big deal, but when Guo Tai came here, he would just be a lesson. Moreover, there is a great possibility that he would not lose, so why worry too much?
Anne has a new task to contact companies interested in Hollywood and ask them if they have any ideas for investing in James' new drama. I believe that after James completes "The Walk of God", many investors who are interested in James' new drama will have publicly contacted James privately, but at least half will be frightened by James' $500 million investment. Guo Tailai is now willing to share some investments to win over cooperation with one or two large companies, which is also a necessary means to be able to smooth things in Hollywood.
Although Guo Tailai has a little friendship with the bosses of the Seventh Hollywood bosses, these capitalists understand that friendship is friendship and business is business. This is also the reason why Guo Tailai didn’t buy Spider-Man copyright directly from Sony Columbia. He would rather go around in a circle and let the Rockefeller brothers do it than do it by himself.
Private friendship may be possible in China, but it is definitely not universal abroad. The most solid alliance is definitely an interest alliance, which is undoubtedly. Guo Tailai did not intend to rely on Arts and Crafts Entertainment to challenge the entire Hollywood, so it is inevitable to alliance with one or several "big bosses". And jointly investing, common interests are the most effective means.
Of course, Guo Tailai will not forget it in China, so, under Lin Jiayi's reminder, Guo Tailai called his friend he knew, the actress Li Li.
"Sister Li, will there be schedules for the next year?" After only three or five sounds, Li Li quickly answered the phone. The two of them greeted each other. Guo Tailai did not greet him much and asked directly. According to James' plan, it will take about a year to shoot live, and the remaining years will be used for special effects. So Guo Tailai asked directly about the schedule of the year.
Li Li has not been filming at the moment and is participating in a variety show filming. She just took two scenes and was resting to prepare for the next shot. The director was about to shout action, but the assistant rushed over with the phone. Li Li reminded her assistant that once it was Guo Tailai's phone call, it must be delivered to her as soon as possible, no matter what she was doing. Li Li hurriedly stopped and answered the phone.
"A one year's schedule?" Li Li was stunned when she heard Guo Tailai's question, but immediately reacted: "Fatty, you need a schedule, and you have to have it if you don't have it! I will stop all the work in the future immediately. You don't have to look for others, just ask for any requests."
As he said this, Li Li immediately turned around and instructed her assistant: "Xiaofang, stop all the work arrangements in the future and ask the company not to take on roles in the next year."
The voice was not high, but he didn't cover the microphone either. Guo Tailai could definitely hear it. Assistant Xiaofang was stunned, but he didn't dare to ask anything more, so he quickly went to make arrangements.
"Okay!" Guo Tailai heard the voice on Li Li's phone and smiled and said, "That's it. Next, you have to make a splash in speaking English, and don't have to dubbing at that time."
"What's up?" Li Li and Guo Tailai are also old relatives, and they are relatively casual. They know that Guo Tailai takes care of her, but they have to ask clearly, right? They immediately asked quickly: "What's the chance? You have to explain it to me!"
"Well, sorry, I didn't say it clearly." Guo Tailai said apologetically: "My company in the United States is a new film invested by Yijiang Entertainment. Director James is tentatively investing $500 million, the first or second female. The project has been approved and is about to start. The salary will be negotiated by the agent. During this period of preparation, you'd better try English. The shooting time will probably take about one year, and it depends on the shooting plan. However, this film pays more attention to special effects, and the first female and second female may not be as good as ordinary films. You can read the script first. If you really don't like it, I'll change to someone else."
"Okay, I understand." Li Li forced herself to suppress her almost violent heart. After saying this calmly, she hung up the phone and sat on the chair. Suddenly her face turned red due to excitement, and her body seemed to tremble slightly, and she couldn't say anything for a while.
With a large investment of 500 million US dollars, James, who is the first and second in the world's box office film history, is the director, the first or second female stars in the world. I'm afraid that all the female stars in the world will not refuse this opportunity? Focusing on special effects, the heroine may not be outstanding, so what does it matter? The key is that just like the queen of the song Tian Fei, he has taken the first step toward the world! And he has made such a big appearance on the stage, isn't happy? Why aren't he happy? How many people are in the rush to get there?
The live variety show director watched the actress queen after receiving a call, and was in a bad condition. He quickly paused and asked everyone to rest for a while. But he heard that the actress queen had turned down all the work behind her. What big thing happened?
While he was talking, Li Li's phone rang again. Li Li looked down at her agent's phone number and took a deep breath before Li Li picked up the phone and put it in her ear and pressed the call button.
