919 Chapter 923

After talking about the movie script, Sun Hao and Quentin Tarantino stood side by side on the rostrum.

The way of judging who wins and who loses is very straightforward, that is, the representatives of several Hollywood film and television companies sitting in the first row under the podium bid. If your company wants to vote for "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" or "The Ninth District", can you give How much is the budget.

Then, whoever gets the most budget wins!

The first bid was Universal Pictures, and its representative was Donna Langley, the president of the film business department. However, she did not bid at the first time, but looked at Sun Hao with a smile.

"Sun, will you direct the movie yourself?"

"certainly!"

"When will the project start?"

"Next month!

Because the props, special effects, and visual design of the film all need to be prepared in advance, and the official shooting time will probably be the second half of next year. "Standing on the stage, Sun Hao explained in detail.

"Hmm..." Donna Langley nodded, then raised her hand and called out a number.

"If there is an opportunity to invest in the filming of "The Ninth District", the initial budget given by our company is 50 million U.S. dollars."

"Papa papa..."

As soon as the sound fell, the scene burst into thunderous applause!

Because according to Hollywood's investment standards, an investment of more than 50 million US dollars has reached A-level, and this is still a preliminary budget.

Perhaps next year will start cooperation with Sun Hao in the "Batman Trilogy", Time Warner President and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Bewkes' bid is much happier.

"Sun, 70 million US dollars, if you think this budget is a bit low, our company can give you two chances to increase the budget."

"Papa papa..."

Liu Yifei was very excited. Although she didn't feel that the film script created by Teacher Sun was better, she believed that these professionals had better vision than herself.

Time Warner and Universal Pictures must know more than I do!

But in an instant, Quentin Tarantino made a comeback. Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation Division, didn't even look at Sun Hao, and directly raised a sign. Written in big bold letters:

[90 million US dollars! 】

Well…

No applause this time.

How can no one applaud?

As the host, Han Shanye saw that the scene was a bit cold, so at this time he cameo as the leader of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Papa papa..."

"good!"

But embarrassingly, there was no one who followed suit.

Because everyone saw the second sign held up by Jeffrey Katzenberg.

[Condition: Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz must appear in the movie at the same time]

Damn...

The remuneration of these three people alone can exceed 60 million U.S. dollars. Calculated in this way, the investment of 90 million U.S. dollars in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is not much at all.

But the bid for "The Ninth District" just now was much cleaner, and I took a fancy to the plot story and Sun Hao's ability to shoot movies.

"Mr. Han, in this case, how should we calculate? Because DreamWorks' bid is conditional."

At the scene, Wu Tianming, director of Xiying Film Studio, who was doing statistics, was a little confused.

"Of course we only calculate the budget amount, because you didn't say before that Hollywood companies are not allowed to make conditions." Quentin Tarantino, who was standing on the podium, turned his elbow when he said this Sun Hao next to him.

"Director Sun Hao, are you right?"

"right!"

"Look!

It is still the atmosphere of director Sun Hao. "

In his expression, Quentin Tarantino was quite proud.

Next, it was the turn of 20th Century Fox to bid.

"Director Sun Hao..."

"Um?"

"The question I asked just now is that one reply can turn an ordinary story into a horror one. Can you tell me the answer in advance?" Mike Dunn, chief marketing officer of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, obviously spoke to Sun Hao. The story just now, is more interesting.

"Director Sun Hao, if you can announce the answer in advance, on behalf of the company, I can provide a budget of 80 million US dollars for the movie script "The Ninth District."

"Excuse me!"

Sun Hao simply refused.

"Because I want to use this small topic to help my company find several very good screenwriters."

"Well, it's good!" Mike Dunn nodded with a smile, then reached out to greet Han Shanye who was standing at the corner of the podium:

"Mr. Han, our company is willing to provide a budget of 80 million US dollars for the movie script "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", and it is an unconditional budget."

"Papa papa..., good!"

As soon as Mike Dunn finished speaking, Quentin Tarantino applauded at the scene.

"Paramount is willing to provide a $70 million budget for the screenplay 'District 9'."

"Columbia Pictures is willing to provide a $50 million budget for the screenplay of "The Ninth District."

………

"Sony Pictures I'm willing to offer a $100 million budget for the screenplay 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'."

With the quotation from Sony Pictures President Hiroshi Takahashi, the heads-up between Sun Hao and Quentin Tarantino also came to a conclusion. Sun Hao lost with a budget price of 10 million US dollars. .

"How about it?

Have you taken it? "

Quentin Tarantino was quite happy, and he elbowed Sun Hao who was beside him.

"Sun, let me state in advance that this is a friendship dispute between the two of us, and it has nothing to do with your previous movie "The Man From Earth". Hate you!"

Damn...

Sun Hao almost didn't swear.

I said that my buddy didn't have any problems with Quentin Tarantino, but he wanted to single out his buddy... It turned out that the crux was here.

James Cameron, you please.

Steven Spielberg, please.

You even invited the French director Luc Besson, but you didn’t say anything to invite me, a film director who is very friendly to China...

Hehe, Sun, who am I not going to teach you? !

Seeing the suddenly realized expression on Sun Hao's face, Quentin Tarantino was even happier.

"Forget it, Sun, you are also very good, it is an honor to lose.

How about this, tonight, if I buy you a drink, is it to comfort you, a loser? "

"fail…"

Sun Hao turned his head to look at Quentin Tarantino.

"Mr. Quentin Tarantino, how could I fail?"

"Why didn't you fail?"

Hearing Sun Hao's words clearly, not only Quentin Tarantino's eyes widened, but even the people sitting under the rostrum looked at Sun Hao in bewilderment.

what happened?

Eight film and television companies have all quoted, and your "Ninth District" is indeed $10 million lower than Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"?

And when everyone was puzzled, Harvey Weinstein, who was sitting in the first row by the window, suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Oh, almost forgot.

My company, Miramax Films, has not yet quoted the screenplay "The Ninth District", our company's quotation is 40 million US dollars..."

"How is that possible?" Quentin Tarantino shouted from the stage.

"Harvey, you old rascal, your company is not qualified to quote at all, because according to the agreement, the two parties only recognize the budget quotes from the eight major Hollywood film and television companies."

"Yes, that's right!" Harvey Weinstein shrugged.

"But, Mr. Quentin Tarantino, have you forgotten? My Miramax Films is actually a branch of Columbia Pictures. Now, I put 40 million US dollars in the budget quotation for the head office. It should be in line with your previous agreement, right?"
