In order to collect these twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues in Su Cheng, Brother Wu indeed spent a lot of time and energy.
But in fact, it didn’t cost much.
In the past few years, in order to recover these 12 bronze statues of animal heads, Sioux City has spent only about 10 million Hong Kong dollars, half of which was not spent on purchasing bronze animal heads. It's not about the image, but the cost of intelligence materials.
If it were placed more than thirty years later, the auction price of each statue would even exceed 100 million.
Of course, the auction prices for bronze statues of animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals vary depending on different auction activities and participating bidders. What’s more, if you think this kind of antique is worth something, it is worth something. If you think it is worth something, it will be worth something. If it's not worth anything, then it's worthless.
Moreover, the reason why Su Cheng took these twelve bronze statues of animal heads was not to sell them for money.
He is not short of funds.
However, now that the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads have been collected, the movie may be made.
Su Cheng remembered this.
Now that the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues have been collected, there will be no bidding at auction in the future.
But now that it has been collected, it cannot be made to look so worthless.
After all, it took a lot of hard work for him to obtain these bronze statues of animal heads. If it seems worthless, then wouldn't his efforts have been in vain?
So, when trying to collect the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads, Su Cheng planned to film a "Twelve Zodiac" in the future to increase its popularity.
However, because the collection was too small at that time, in order to prevent the price of the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads from being raised by the film, he never produced them.
The film "Twelve Zodiac Signs" tells the story of a large number of precious cultural relics lost overseas, among which the four heads of the twelve zodiac animals attracted the most attention.
Controversies continue at home and abroad, and some collectors are bidding for these treasures at sky-high prices.
Taking this as an opportunity, the international thief JC and his team went to Paris together for huge profits, seeking the help of national treasure appraisal expert Coco. After a thrilling and hot fight and chase, JC was annihilated by profit and money. The story of the gradual awakening of patriotism.
The actor Chen Long signed a contract with Jiayi Film and Television Group the year before last. Not only that, he also brought the entire Chen family class with him.
So, it is obviously most suitable for Chen Long to play the role in "Twelve Zodiac Signs".
After all, his fighting style and daring spirit are so popular.
So, one day later, a movie script for "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was placed in front of Liang Shuyi's desk.
The script states that the protagonist is JC starring Chen Long. As for the others, it’s up to you.
Anyway, there are Chen Long movies, and he is basically the most outstanding character.
This movie was made a full 30 years in advance, so Su Cheng also asked Xiao Ai to modify the script according to the current situation to be more in line with the style of this era.
After reading the script, Liang Shuyi called Chen Long over and handed him the script at the same time.
"Mr. Liang, this script is very suitable for me, and there are many parts that can be acted brilliantly." Chen Long's eyes lit up when he saw the movie script.
"The boss has designated you to star in this movie. Don't worry, your starring role cannot be escaped, otherwise I wouldn't call you over." Liang Shuyi said with a smile. "Is this a script written by the boss for me?" Chen Long's eyes and face showed excitement. The boss is his idol.
"Yes, the boss asked someone to bring it over. He said he was bored recently and saw that there were no good movies to watch in the cinema, so he wrote one himself and asked us to film it as soon as possible." Liang Shuyi Said helplessly.
Obviously they released a lot of good movies last year. Their Jiayi Film and Television Group even accounted for 7 of the box office movies in the previous life.
As of this year, Jiayi Film and Television Group is still producing two or three movies per month, accounting for most of the Hong Kong film industry.
Unexpectedly, the boss said that there were not enough good movies, so he wrote another one for them to shoot as soon as possible.
“Okay, Mr. Liang, I watched this movie and it’s my style. I think I can not only be the lead actor, but also the director. Why don’t you give me the lead director position? , I know my own style better, and it is enough for the company to send me another assistant director." Chen Long said with a smile.
Although Chen Long is only 27 years old this year, he already directed and starred in the film "Laughing Fist and Strange Moves" two years ago, and it was a great success.
After joining Jiayi Film and Television Group, he directed and starred in "Junior Brother", which still became the box office champion.
Therefore, Chen Long is not only strong in acting, but also very capable in directing.
"Okay, since you are so confident, let me leave this task to you, but don't screw it up, or you will be embarrassed by the boss." Liang Shuyi warned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, I've never messed up before. I'm very confident!" Chen Long waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Recently, he happens to have no tasks. There is no script suitable for him in the group, and the script he wants is not half-written yet, so he is idle.
Now there is just one movie suitable for him, which he cannot miss no matter what.
He took this opportunity to shoot the film while continuing to write his new script.
When the filming is finished, maybe the new film will be released, and then he can continue filming another one.
The success in the past few years has made him feel ecstatic, but he is indeed very talented and has great kung fu. His kung fu image has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Well, then I don't care about that much. It's up to you to decide on the formation of the crew. I will let them cooperate with you to arrange the selection of actors." Liang Shuyi said.
"Mr. Liang, I found that the plot of this movie is very suitable for being released in movie theaters around the world. Maybe this movie can be popular all over the world, but I estimate that the investment will be several million Hong Kong dollars or even more than Ten million Hong Kong dollars." Chen Long continued.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about this. The budget investment of 10 million Hong Kong dollars should be enough. I just hope you can shoot it well so that we won't lose money!" Liang Shuyi said with a smile.
Thirty years later, the investment in this movie will require 300 million soft sister coins.
But thirty years ago now, investing HK$10 million was more than enough.
After all, the price difference of thirty years is not the same. The cost of actors does not have to be as exaggerated as tens of millions. Just on the cost of actors, tens of millions can be saved. Hong Kong dollar.
Other production fees, scene rental fees, etc. will also be much cheaper than thirty years later.
After all, times are different, and the production costs are naturally different. (End of this chapter)
