Chapter 864 Pushing Away Investors
After Boris returned, Bai Laimen told his thoughts about the new equipment and the conditions proposed by Junci.
Bai Lai Men's senior management held a special meeting for this purpose, which lasted for four hours.
Everyone in Bai Laimen was a little surprised, because the company rarely held meetings for so long.
In the end, it was only after Boris brought several senior decision-makers in the meeting to experience the equipment that everyone unanimously agreed.
So the drama "The Seventh Killer Space" fell on the emperor.
But the selection meeting for this play had already been held beforehand, and even the famous director Jeremiah Falk expressed his intention to attend. If it were announced that it would be cancelled, it would really be child's play.
Bai Lai Men's senior management made a tactful request, asking Jun Ci to go through the motions and participate in the selection committee. Anyway, in the end they would announce that the film belongs to Jun Ci.
This decision was not really impulsive. Before this, Bai Laimen's film researchers had studied two of Jun Ci's films and knew her shooting techniques. It was uncertain whether the answer was a breakthrough, but she definitely She won't mess around, and she is confident that she will be able to handle this film, especially Jun Ci's second film, which has won her a lot of points.
Junci also agreed.
Anyway, the selection meeting is not open to the public. It is just a discussion between Bai Laimen insiders and directors, or watching some things.
Jun Ci doesn't even need to participate, she just needs to wait for the selection meeting to end.
But before that, the list of selection committee will appear on Bai Laimen’s official website.
After Junci discussed the shooting, he asked Leo and Bai Laimen to start cooperating on equipment. As Bai Laimen's production manager, Boris also needed to discuss with Jun Ci the actors to be invited for this film. , and before that, they already had a suitable list, which they gave to Junci to choose.
Because a director is the basis for deciding a movie. If the director feels that the actor is not suitable, then the actor will have to wait for business.
Bai Laimen just gave him a list of people to be invited. There were several people on the list, and some of them were supporting characters who were being taken care of. They were not the focus, but they told Jun Ci that these people were forced in by investors.
But at this moment, Jun Ci gave Boris a bombshell.
"Mr. Boris, I would like to know what your budget is for this film?"
"According to the company's estimate, it is expected to be between US$500 million and US$800 million."
Compared to China, the amount is simply huge.
It is also because Hollywood’s unique North American market can be released in many countries, unlike the limitations of the Chinese film market.
The investment is large because the returns are also large.
Hearing this, Jun Ci raised the corners of his lips and said, "I can't tell you the budget, but I think maybe you can turn down the investors and cooperate with me alone."
Boris almost spit out a sip of coffee from his mouth: "Reject the investor?"
This is simply nonsense.
Without the investment from investors, even a hundred dollars of such a large investment may not be able to be allocated to budget for a film alone.
Investment plus production plus production is already an inherent model of Hollywood, and this is also applicable in China.
"No, Mr. Boris, I know your budget is huge, but I may have failed to mention something. I have a very powerful special effects team, and they can handle all the post-production. The $500 million you mentioned is now 400 million can be eliminated directly. Yes, as for the special effects, my team will not charge you any money. You only need to give a budget of 100 million, which is enough. If you reject the investors, I will go it alone with you!"
Boris was stunned.
