Everyone had a great time for dinner. Although Travolta didn’t drink today, they were a little greedy when they smelled Maotai. They asked Liu Yunxuan for a bottle without any politeness, and also searched for a Walmart supermarket organic vegetable pickup card.

After the meal, the few people were idle and chatted about some movies, literature, and some interesting stories. This time Mansour did not shy away from it. He chatted with everyone, but they were very close to each other.

"You don't know. Wu usually looks very kind, but when he comes to the set, he is like a different person." Travolta told everyone about his previous experience of partnering with John Woo.

"No matter who it is, as long as you make a mistake, you just wait for Wu's roar. I, Cage, are no exception. All the movie stars who work with him have experienced it."

"You said to me, do you think it was easy when I first came to the United States to explore?" Wu said angrily, "It's not easy to shoot heroes in the United States. You can't get shots from many shots, let alone die easily."

"I also learned this theorem for a long time."

When John Woo talked about this, he was also a little sad. In order to study how Americans live and look at problems, he had not filmed for two years. He took on "Broken Arrow" after he thought he knew enough. It was also the first time he collaborated with Travolta.

However, I didn't have a long time to enjoy it. After success, I didn't expect that "The Whisperer"'s box office plummeted, and I returned to China to shoot an epic film, but it was not well received. So I planned to return to Hollywood and rise again.

Everyone knows a little about his situation. Whether it is praise or sarcastic, it is impossible to hide the fact that he is a very famous director.

Being able to leave a mark on the Avenue of Fame is what Hollywood recognizes for him.

"By the way, I wonder if you have any idea of ​​making money together?" After Wu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yunxuan and Travolta and said.

Liu Yunxuan was stunned when he heard this. Could there be any insider information in this entertainment industry that can make money?

"You are wrong. I plan to raise funds for this movie to shoot." Wu Johnson saw Liu Yunxuan's eyes and knew that he had understood it wrong and quickly explained.

"Director Wu, don't joke. I can't afford to invest in a US blockbuster." Liu Yunxuan was startled by John Wu's proposal and shook his head and said.

How much does an American blockbuster cost? It was okay in the first few years, but it could be less. Now the audience is picky, and it will cost between 200 million and 300 million US dollars, which is more valuable than their Andy Ranch.

"Andy, don't rush to refuse, listen to me first." John Woo continued, "a large part of the cost of the movie depends on the actor's pay."

"If John and I both invested in zero pay, we could save a lot of money. Moreover, the special effects involved in this drama are not particularly large, so let's make up the same. It should be the same."

In fact, John Woo has been thinking about this movie, so he came up with this idea today.

The normal salary of Travolta should be between 25 million and 30 million US dollars plus dividends. And now I am at the same price. This saves more than 50 million US dollars in the cost.

Moreover, the main venue for the filming was in Liu Yunxuan's ranch, which saved a lot of money from renting the venue. I also used some actors with less pay. If everyone gathered together, I would probably be able to shoot it.

The most important thing is that he knew that these two people still had some money. If they went to find an investor, it would be better for everyone to do it together.

Liu Yunxuan was a little moved when he heard this. The profits of the movies are very considerable, and it is not an exaggeration to call them huge profits. If you haven’t watched those blockbusters often swept the box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, you just don’t know how much money you have to invest in this operation. But I don’t have much left.

Travolta was also lowering his head and pondering. In fact, he had tried the method mentioned by John Woo before, but it failed, so he was a little hesitant.

If he had not experienced the loss of his son, he might not have considered it but agreed directly. However, he has always thought of taking better care of his family, and it is not enough to lack money in the United States.

The atmosphere became a little dull for a moment.

"Xuanzi, I think this matter can be done." Fatty interrupted. "We have good directors, good actors, and good scripts. What are you afraid of? If you don't, let's mobilize some funds from China."

The fat man’s idea is very simple. The movie is profitable. With Lao Wu’s level and Travolta’s acting skills, even if it fails, it won’t be much.

"Director Wu, if we invest ourselves, how much money do I need to spend?" Liu Yunxuan looked at John Wu and asked.

John Wu thought for a while and said, "I plan to keep the cost to around $150 million. Apart from my pay and John, it will probably take about 90 million."

"We can invest according to this budget of 150 million. When shooting, we try our best to save costs, and even if we lack it, there will be no shortage."

In fact, among the three, Liu Yunxuan is relatively the riskiest. If he wants to divide evenly, he has to spend 50 million US dollars to shoot the movie, and each of these two people is almost the same.

However, the potential rewards of this matter are really great. First of all, you can insert your own advertisements in the movie. Secondly, as Fatty said, if these two people are involved, you won’t lose much.

"Actually, if you lack money in movies, I can invest." Mansour next to him spoke. He really doesn't understand. Isn't it just a matter of tens of millions of dollars for everyone? Why do they have to think about it for so long?

Well, let us forgive the white-robed local tyrants who are used to using money instead of using money.

"It would be best if His Highness Mansour is also interested in participating, and we can also reduce some of the burden." John Woo said politely as he looked at Mansour.

He knew that Mansour had a good relationship with Liu Yunxuan, and he was really afraid that this owner would get all the investments. He was very confident in this video and wanted to make some money and spend it.

Now everyone's eyes were looking at Travolta, and I don't know how he was thinking about it.

"You don't have to look at me like that." Travolta said with a smile, "I am also looking forward to this script and Wu, so I will come here, just count me as one."

"Okay, then that's it. If the four of us invest, we can make more money in the future." Liu Yunxuan said funnyly.

"But you have to give me some time first. I have to get my money slowly. The recent expenses are a bit big." Liu Yunxuan then said embarrassedly.

Even with Mansour joining, he has to raise nearly $40 million in funds. If he doesn't do it well, he has to transfer money from the country first.

"Wu, you can recruit actors with peace of mind and find the right one. If the budget is not enough, I can add it. I don't want Angela to feel bad when she sees this video in the future."

Mansour waved his hand and said, "Andy, I'll get your part for you first."

Only then did Liu Yunxuan understand why Mansour had the idea of ​​investing in this movie. It turned out that the source of everything was Xiao Fangfang.

After all, it is adapted from real events. The prototype of the rancher's daughter in the script is Xiao Fangfang. Maybe when Xiao Fangfang grows up, she will pick it up and read it again. What should I do if I feel very dissatisfied?

When he came back last time, he had thought about asking the little guy to act in the movie, but he gave up later. After all, the requirements for this movie are still very high.

The little guy hasn't even learned basic performances. If he messed up, both sides would be unsatisfied. Now that he has invested a few people, he can't mention this matter.

It seems that in the future, the little guy will still shoot the advertisement of the children's product first. If the little guy is really interested and not tired of it, then see if there are any small characters in other movies to make her guest appearance.

The investment this time is not small. Even if the relationship between a few people is good, there must be a formal business contract. This is a villain first and a gentleman later, and everyone understands it.

But there is no hurry now, and I haven't even found all the actors, so I can sign at any time. (To be continued...)
