Wu Zijie thought about it for a moment. It turned out that the production cost of this movie was only 30 million RMB (the producer, Lu Jianming, said it himself. The reason for the 12 million USD cost was that the cost of publicity and distribution was included).
By the time Wu Zijie went to shoot the movie himself, he would have the finished movie from the original time and space in his mind. There would be fewer detours during the filming, fewer NG takes, a lot of time, a lot of manpower, and a lot of resources. The cost could even be controlled to less than 20 million!
However, Wu Zijie had to think of a way to make the movie better and get a higher box office.
After all, his ex-wife (she was still hesitating and hadn't officially divorced yet. In theory, she wasn't considered an ex-wife, but in Wu Zijie's heart, she was already an ex-wife) Liu Yifei's "Three Lives Three Lives Ten Miles Peach Blossom" had a bad reputation in the original time and space. However, the box office sales were more than 500 million!
Wu Zijie's Wolf Warrior 1 had also earned more than 500 million yuan at the box office in the original world. If it also earned more than 500 million yuan at the box office in this world, it would not do if it did not surpass his ex-wife's movie!
If he wanted to get a higher box office, he would have to improve the quality of the box office. Then, he would have to spend more money!
Therefore, Wu Zijie said,"My production budget is 50 million…"
"Then I'll invest 20 million!" Yu Dong said.”
Wu Zijie wanted to say that he had more than 200 million yuan now (he could mortgage the villa for 50 million yuan) and was not short of money!
But on second thought, he did not have a production team for military movies now. He had to rely on Yu Dong in this aspect!
The publicity, distribution, and theater chains also depended on the other party. This time, he would let the other party earn a little more!
If this movie was successful, he would be able to change his career and establish his box office appeal. The profit sharing for the next movie would not be so passive!
Moreover, if he saved 20 million and invested it in stocks, the profits would be even greater!
Wu Zijie remembered that in 2015, when most stocks fell into a mess, there was a demon stock that appeared out of nowhere. It was a special A!
After the first wave of the stock market crash ended, it soared by five times. After the second wave of the stock market crash ended, it soared by six times. If he manipulated the fluctuations, this stock could bring him 30 times the profit!
However, if all the money was invested in the movie, it would definitely not be 30 times the profit. At most, it would be 5 times!
After thinking it through, Wu Zijie smiled and said,"We'll do as you say, President Yu."
Yu Dong felt that it was a rare commodity that could be hoarded. He was afraid that a long delay would cause trouble, so he quickly signed a cooperation agreement with Wu Zijie.
However, Yu Dong saw that it was Wu Zijie's first time directing and acting in a military-themed movie. He was afraid that Wu Zijie might not be able to handle it, so he suggested that Xiangjiang director Lin Chaoxian be the producer.
Wu Zijie readily agreed.
Lin Chaoxian was the director of the original " Red Sea Operation " and " Mekong Operation ". He was good at filming modern war scenes. With his protection, the success rate of her transformation would increase greatly!
However, Wu Zijie insinuated that Lin Chaoxian and the rest had not written the scripts for Operation Red Sea and Operation Mekong from Yu Dong's words. He could not help but be secretly delighted.
If he wrote the scripts for these movies in the future, he would have more control over these collaborations in the future.
After signing the contract, Yu Dong raised his glass and smiled at Wu Zijie."Jason, I'm very optimistic about your transformation this time. I wish us a happy cooperation. Cheers!”
"Thank you, President Yu, for your discerning eyes!" Wu Zijie drank it all in one go.
"Hahaha, you're trying to praise yourself!”Yu Dong laughed loudly.
Jin Shuangqiao smiled meaningfully." Jie, you have to have a few drinks with Zihan. Zihan has never begged me for her own matters before. This time, she's been running around for you. You can't let her down!"”
When Wu Zijie heard Jin Shuangqiao's words, his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Chen Zihan and realized that she was looking at him lovingly.
"Sister Zihan, thank you so much. I'll toast you three times…"
They were drinking white wine. Wu Zijie drank three glasses of white wine in one go.
Wu Zijie couldn't help but say,"Sister Zihan, thank you for your deep friendship, but I just got divorced, so I'm really not in the mood to talk about relationships.”
He did not dislike Chen Zihan for being older than him, nor did he dislike Chen Zihan's looks. He was really not in the mood!
When Yu Dong and Jin Shuangqiao found out that Wu Zijie's ex-wife was actually Liu Yifei, they could not help but be shocked!
Perhaps none of them had expected that the fairy sister had actually hidden her marriage.
"According to my understanding of the mother and daughter, her mother must have forced her to do this!" Yu Dong patted Wu Zijie's shoulder.
I have high hopes for you. You will definitely succeed in your transformation this time. At that time, the mother and daughter will definitely regret it very much!”
Jin Shuangqiao smiled coquettishly." Old Yu is right. Zijie, you're so talented, so handsome, and so young. You'll definitely make a comeback. The mother and daughter will definitely regret it!”
Although Chen Zihan felt a little regretful, she did not blame Wu Zijie. She smiled gently and said,"Zijie, I believe that you'll definitely be able to make a comeback. I'll always support you!”
(The results this time are quite good. I'm very satisfied. I'll continue to update until the end. I'll make you feel embarrassed to rush me!)）
