For this movie that is not promising, it would be nice if someone comes to share the risks together.

Pay attention, the prospects are not optimistic, it is not that "Inception" is not a commercial film...

In fact, the script structure and investment scale of "Inception" are completely a typical narrative commercial film in Hollywood!

But it is an original story!

The times create "IP", Hollywood only dares to spend a lot of money on stories with IP-based foundations - an original work requires a lot of cognitive time, while existing IPs and series naturally come with topics.

Warner has IPs that are famous around the world such as Harry Potter, DC, Middle-earth, etc. Why do you need to make original movies?

Isn’t it good to sell the surrounding area and make money safely?

This is also the reason why Warner Bros. He was hesitant, so Chen Mengxi provided $60 million. After considering it, Warner Bros. agreed...

Of course, Chen Mengxi is not the kind of outsider who can deceive. He is an integral part of Hollywood, so the contract he made is quite reasonable.

Mengxi Studio in Chenmengxi is the second investor and enjoys copyright sharing proportional...

Of course, the surrounding accounts are gone.

Nancy looked at the contract, nodded slightly at him, Chen Mengxi signed her name, and asked, "When will the movie start filming?"

Nolan scratched his head: "It's still in the script improvement stage..."

"Then there is no hurry..."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I have no idea, I just want to see this movie on the big screen!"

It's true that there is no hurry. In fact, Warner Bros. controls the cost of "Inception" very well. They didn't pay much money. They used the investment brought by the Warner Bros. Film Foundation. The main investor is a rich man from Riben!

Therefore, many backgrounds of the script were changed to 日本…

Even the filming location is the Tokyo Tower...

As for casting, except for Li Zi, all the other actors have not yet decided!

The casting of "Inception" is really tragic...

I feel like Nolan is disliked by many people?

At first, Nolan invited Christian Bale to play the leading role, but he was rejected when he had a conflict with the schedule of "Terminator 4";

Only then did I find Xiao Lizi. Xiao Lite gave me face and didn't even read the script, so I nodded directly;

Joseph Gordon, the role of the Outpost, was not the original candidate, and James Franco was Nolan's favorite.

James Franco's schedule was not suitable and he was rejected...

There is also the role of a female dream builder. Nolan was tailor-made for Evan Rachel Wood. I don’t know if the other party didn’t understand or see the value of this drama. Anyway, he was rejected three times...

Now there is not even an invitation, so I am not in a hurry to promote Lao Liu...

...

hotel.

Chen Mengxi gave Lao Liu half a glass of red wine - life still needs a little sense of ritual!

"Are you so happy?"

"After saying that it is also a hype of A-level production. I am one of the producers and also serve as a screenwriter. I learn the process of Hollywood production from beginning to end..."

Liu Yifei took a sip of red wine and asked him: "Is it a bit risky to take out $60 million at a time?"

Chen Mengxi put down his cup and explained: "I can't always do low-cost projects! Mainstream commercial films like "Inception" are the way Hollywood conquers the world!"

"That's too risky!"

"...I don't want to take risks, but I'm taking me to play!"

Hollywood has a special word for foreign investment Dumb Money.

Translated into Chinese means stupid money, which means stupid people means a lot of money.

From Japanese benzene funds in the 1980s, to German funds in the previous years, and even more recently Wall Street funds, in Hollywood, it seems that all of them are Dumb Money!

What is Hollywood's attitude towards foreign investment?

It means taking out bad scripts you don’t want to shoot for you to invest in, and you will make sure you make money by yourself.

Moreover, if the movie breaks out unexpectedly, Hollywood will take the opportunity to kick you away and enjoy this IP exclusively.

The most typical one is "Fast and Furious", which was invested by another German fund.

Global Company cut the film's budget from 46 million to 38 million, but was still worried and sold one-third of its shares to the Germans. Unexpectedly, the film received $200 million in global revenue, of which the US market accounted for three-quarters!

Then what?

Universal quickly developed a sequel, and naturally there was nothing Germans had to do with the sequel.

Don’t Chen Mengxi want to invest in “Wolverine”?

Don’t you want to reboot "X-Men" with Twentieth Century Folk?

They won't take you to play at all!

Chen Mengxi said these "Hollywood scams" once, and Liu Yifei frowned: "Then how do you guarantee that "Inception" will make money?"

"Don't worry, Nolan + Little Little Zi, there is a box office of 400 million US dollars worldwide, so you can't make money. It's still not difficult to get the money back!"

"Return to your capital? Then why do you still need to invest?"

"In order to let you play the heroine! This is Hollywood's top super A-level production, playing with Little Little Little..."

Lao Liu actually vaguely suspects that Chen Mengxi made an investment for her...

Otherwise, why spend so much money on a movie that no one watches?

She was so moved that she moaned and threw herself into his arms...

"What? Are you moved and want to support yourself..."

He didn't finish his words because his lips were bitten...

My whole body was also knocked down...

Chen Mengxi only felt her legs pressing up, and a thought came to her mind - no matter how beautiful the legs are, they are just gunshots, and then they were blinded by their faces...

...

Speaking of "Before Dawn", Zhao Jinsong is quite capable...

Hou Yong's identity is not simple. He is the deputy head of the Nanjing Military Region Frontline Art Troupe and a national first-class actor.

I don’t know how he persuaded him. Anyway, Hou Yong took over Li Weiran’s role, just the director of the Medical Director of the Eighth Bureau who had not played much.

Zhang Fengyi joined the crew and played the role of sailor Duan Haiping.

At this point, the lineup of "Before Dawn" has been basically confirmed.

Director Chen plays Liu Xinjie;

Chen Baoguo, Tan Zhongshu;

Zhang Fengyi, Duan Haiping;

The four major King Kongs of the People's Art Theater, except Wu Gang, did not come, the other three play the roles of Zipperlin, Sun Dapu and Li Bohan;

Look, this lineup is for the King of Drama!

As an investor, Mengxi Company has of course arranged many roles for its actors.

In addition to the heroine Gu Yejia gave Wan Qian, He Zhichao, and Ajiu gave Wang Lei, Ding San, Zhou Hanting, Bian Rinan respectively gave Lei Jiayin, Guo Jingfei and Zhang Luyi...

Wang Kai was also brought to play Miao Dingwei, just the cousin of Deputy Chief Ouyang.

Seven golden flowers, the other six, except Yang Xiaomi, also came to play guest appearances...

Yang Xiaomi is very busy, she took on two external dramas: "Beauty's Scheming" and "The King of Martial Arts attacks Zhou"...

Her new agent is Zhao Shan. She asked Yang Xiaomi: "You have thought about it. These two are supporting roles, and Ziyu in "The Investiture of the Gods" doesn't have a strong presence!"
