Chapter 550 Super High Expectations
As for the issue of remuneration.
Using friendship to squeeze out salary is a very shameful thing for Lin Gao.
He couldn't do it, and he didn't bother to do it.
After all - he is not short of money.
Wei Wen became happy after hearing this and couldn't help but nod.
“That’s right.”
The salary for this film is 70 million Mao Zedong.
Converted into U.S. dollars, that’s 10 million.
It means that even in Hollywood in North America, the salary will be increased by 20%.
Lin Gao was really generous.
"Well, I won't cheat you this time. If there is a chance, we will see you on the next set."
I will kill you again then.
Lin Gao stared, looking shocked.
“Wow, Weiwen, your level of speaking Chinese has improved by leaps and bounds.”
"He even knows how to use the word "zai"!"
Director Nolan and Guo Fan came over, and several people started chatting.
They all expressed shock at Lin Gao's operation of sending the car away after a disagreement.
The filming has ended for the time being. Although he still has to focus on post-production and dubbing work, at least at this moment, Director Nolan is still relatively relaxed and can have some relaxing leisure time.
He came over and patted Lin Gao on the shoulder with emotion.
"Lin, are you sure this won't lose money?"
Without discussing with everyone for a few seconds, he waved his hand and gave away tens of millions.
Director Nolan saw Lin Gao's assistant's eyes almost bulging out of horror after hearing Lin Gao made this decision.
Before he came over to chat with Lin Gao, the little assistant came to the corner, looking like he was crying, and was complaining about something with his cell phone to his ear.
I have been in China for so many days.
Director Nolan's Chinese language, like Vivian's, has advanced by leaps and bounds.
The distance of ten meters is enough for Director Nolan to vaguely hear what the assistant said.
What it seems to be: "Sister Lian Lian...one car per person...can't stop...there are hundreds of people in the crew..."
Director Nolan's smile widened and his eyes were teasing.
I guessed that he was reporting to Lin Gao's "housekeeper" about Lin Gao's prodigal behavior.
"The investment is a bit big, so I'm not afraid of losing money at the box office."
Guo Fan also raised an eyebrow and asked.
Unexpectedly, Lin Gao burst out laughing after hearing this, and almost couldn't stand up straight.
“What are you talking about, hahahahaha——”
It’s like hearing some great joke.
Lin Gao looked at Guo Fan and then at Director Nolan.
Finally, I looked around and my eyes fell on all the creative teams around me.
When he turned back, his smile faded, but his eyes were still happy.
“With you guys guaranteeing the box office, I’m still afraid of losing money.”
“How is this possible?”
"Not to mention anything else, it's Director Nolan. There's no way your name won't sell at the box office internationally."
First, I praised Nolan a few times.
Lin Gao did not favor one over the other, and began to praise Guo Fan again.
“And you.”
The fingertips fell on Guo Fan and nodded.
"A little confident, okay?"
"You are the director of "The Wandering Earth", and you are currently the number one box office among Chinese science fiction films."
You are also on the list of total box office a place.
While speaking, Lin Gao rolled his eyes.
“Why are you so unconfident?”
"You also said that I am going to lose money, bah bah bah, curse yourself?"
As for why Lin Gao said that Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth" is temporarily No. 1 on the science fiction box office list.
That's naturally because "The Matrix" he is filming now also belongs to the science fiction film series. Lin Gao is confident.
Once it is scheduled, "The Wandering Earth" will have to move back one spot on the list
"By the way - there is Mr. Wei Wen."
Lin Gao smiled deeply and tapped Wei Wen with his chin.
"Now that the popularity of "Lord of the Rings" has not passed, Mr. Vivian's fans will definitely be willing to contribute to the box office."
Vivin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Lin Gao did not favor one over the other.
"In addition, there are a few movies like "Titanic". My name is quite famous internationally now, so the international box office should not be too bad."
"So."< br>
Lin Gao opened his palms and made a summary evaluation carelessly.
“No matter how you think about it, I won’t lose money.”
The faces of the people named were extremely speechless.
After they looked at each other, they couldn't help but speak.
"You are responsible for the box office guarantee, right?"
Guo Fan even gave him a look.
"In terms of popularity, how can any of us compare to you, the big star?"
Director Nolan listened with interest and nodded in sincere approval.
"You're right. I have to wonder, Lin, whether you have a special physique that makes you suitable for this industry. Whichever movie you act in, the box office will explode."
Lin Gao feels that he can travel through time. It's quite abstract and magical.
So he didn’t answer, he just chimed in half-jokingly.
“Then since you all think so, wouldn’t I be letting you down if I didn’t say a few words?”
“Well then, I wish our “The Matrix” a big hit at the box office. How about breaking the $3 billion mark in January?”
Lin Gao's goal was indeed too big.
If it is a popular type of IP movie, such as Marvel adaptation and "Lord of the Rings", it is actually possible to exceed 2.5 billion or 3 billion.
But the theme Lin Gao chose this time was science fiction electronics.
To have a box office of two billion US dollars, in the eyes of Director Nolan and others, it is already a blessing from God.
Breaking through three billion.
Even director Nolan, who was optimistic about the script, had never thought of it before.
So after hearing this, his smiling face paused, and then he stared at Lin Gao seriously and made a promise.
“Okay, let’s see together what kind of results this movie can achieve in the end.”
“If it can really achieve the box office data you mentioned, you can come again at any time Ask me to make a movie for you, I won’t charge you a penny and I’ll work for you for free.”
Three billion science fiction movies at the box office.
It is also a dazzling achievement when placed on a famous director's resume.
If it can really be achieved, why not make another movie for Lin Gao for free?
“Okay.”
Lin Gao responded.
"That's it."
Lin Gao agreed quickly, but he didn't take it to heart.
It’s not that I don’t believe in director Nolan’s promise.
The three billion he said was a joke...
It was just a joke.
Lin Gao is confident that the final box office of this movie will be approximately US$1.5-1.8 billion.
That's why I said that as a joke.
Three billion US dollars.
Lin Gao sighed in his heart and couldn't help but rub his fingers, feeling the warm temperature.
It seems unlikely.
What was the box office of this movie in my previous life?
Looking back on my previous life, The Matrix did not receive a lot of investment, and the later publicity did not keep up.
So the final box office seems to be only US$800 million.
In this life, director Nolan is directing it. Not to mention the details of the script, the investment amount has reached 2 billion yuan.
How can I say that the box office has to be doubled?
