Soon after, Qiao Ke found a professional manager for Lu Yiming.

He looks to be in his forties, tall, and an old white man with pure blood.

"Let me introduce, Mr. Lu, this is Jason, the professional manager I hired."

Lu Yiming nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Lu. I heard Mr. Qiao talk about your deeds. You are really a young man who has achieved success."

Jason's attitude towards Lu Yiming was very respectful, and he obviously cared about this job very much.

There is no way, the film company where he used to work went bankrupt, and the family of five is counting on him to support him. He is already middle-aged, and the edges have been smoothed out by reality, not to mention that the three bosses of the company are Asian.

And despise and despise.

After all, capital has no national boundaries. Making money is not shabby.

Jock said: "Jason has been working in Hollywood for more than ten years and is a very professional professional manager. If he manages the company, there will definitely be no problems in the daily operation."

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Then who is the decision-maker?"

Su Zhenge smiled and said: "Of course it's you. Qiao Ke and I contributed the money to set up the company. The company will be under your command, and Jason will handle the daily management. We will share the profits together."

Although it sounds a bit messy, Lu Yiming doesn't care about this, as long as he can make money.

"Very good, then you guys first put the company on a fight, and then prepare to shoot the first movie of Su Qiao Pictures."

As soon as he heard that he had a job to do, Jason immediately cheered up and asked: "Boss, what kind of movie do you plan to make?"

Lu Yiming said without hesitation: "Horror movie."

"Horror movie?"

Jason felt surprised. After all, the box office of horror movies these days is not on the same order of magnitude as other categories. It is a completely niche genre.

But then Jason thought it was normal. After all, it was a new company, and it was good to make a niche-themed movie to practice.

After all, a niche means less competition, so you might be able to stand out faster.

Lu Yiming's ability to accurately cut into the track impressed Jason. As the saying goes, seeing is worse than hearing. Although I heard Qiao Ke recount how Lu Yiming started from scratch, it is not as profound as talking to him in person.

The boss in front of me looks calm and composed even though he is young. At first glance, he looks like the kind of person who works steadily.

This also made Jason feel a big stone fall in his heart. He felt that with a reliable boss, he would most likely be able to last longer in his new job.

In the past film companies, there were all kinds of monsters and monsters. Some bosses just drew a big pie and fooled investors into spending money. In fact, they didn't even know where to start. The result was that the money was quickly spent, and then the company went bankrupt and ran away.

Road, causing investors to lose all their money.

This kind of thing is so common in Hollywood, happening almost every moment. You never know whether the person in front of you is really capable or a big liar.

"It is indeed a very good choice for a newly established company to make a low-cost horror film first. After adapting to the market and figuring out the rules, they can then make large-scale productions. This is the direction chosen by many start-up companies in Hollywood.

.”

However, Lu Yiming glanced at him and said, "Who told you that I would make a small-budget niche horror film?"

"ah?"

Jason was a little surprised: "Isn't it?"

Lu Yiming said boldly: "Of course not, our Su Qiao Pictures will not make any small-budget productions. If we want to do it, we must make it big, with an investment of at least 30 million US dollars."

Hearing that Lu Yiming was going to invest 30 million US dollars to shoot a horror film, Jason suddenly felt his eyes go dark.

What did you just say? This boss is stable?

tmd It’s too early to say that.

Hey, this world is so magical.

It seems that it is time to consider looking for a next home.

I have just taken office less than an hour ago!

Which boss was promised to be more stable?

How can anyone show up and show off? Moreover, it’s a horror movie. If you don’t like it, you can donate your money to me!

Jason really didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

Seeing Jason's expression of embarrassment, Lu Yiming immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Do you have any objections?"

In order to prevent himself from being laid off as soon as he took up the job, and to prevent Su Qiao Pictures from becoming a film and television company that went bankrupt in his own hands, Jason couldn't help but admonish: "Boss, are we considering it carefully? According to me

As we all know, the investment in a horror film today is basically only three to five million US dollars, and some are even only a few hundred thousand US dollars. After all, the audience for horror movies is really small. If you spend 30 million at once, it will be difficult to recover.

Ben."

In fact, Jason has put it very tactfully. Judging from the knowledge he has gained from being in Hollywood for so many years, the box office of horror movies itself is a sinkhole. If it can reach a box office of 10 million US dollars, it is considered a big hit.

The money is paid. You invested 30 million from the beginning. Isn’t this a business that is bound to lose money?

"Loss money?"

Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh.

Is there such a thing as losing money while filming "Resident Evil"?

Aren't you kidding me?

Although he felt confident in his heart, Lu Yiming was too lazy to explain too much and said firmly: "How can the movie I want to make lose money? You just need to do what I say."

Seeing Lu Yiming's resolute attitude, Jason sighed silently in his heart, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked: "Okay, which director does the boss plan to find for the filming?"

Lu Yiming blurted out: "Paul Anderson."

Jason frowned after hearing this. He is an industry insider, so he is familiar with Paul Anderson. He said: "His shooting style is indeed very suitable for directing horror-themed movies, but boss, is he too young?

?”

Paul Anderson, who was born on the banks of the Tyne River in South Korea in 1965, is only thirty-four years old. As a director, he is indeed a bit young.

Moreover, his record is not very good. The films he directed, such as "The Pursuit" and "The Surface of the Black Hole," both received mediocre responses and flopped at the box office.

Among them, "The Surface of a Black Hole", released in 1997, failed miserably. Even the cooperation of two big names, Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne, could not save "The Surface of a Black Hole" at the box office.

This suspenseful sci-fi movie received rave reviews at its premiere. Unfortunately, the box office gross was only US$26.7 million, resulting in a loss of more than US$30 million, which directly left the investors in the dark.

Jason's heart was getting colder and colder. After finally finding a job, I didn't even dislike the boss's Asian face, but you did this to me?

It’s okay to invest 30 million to make a horror film with a niche theme. You also found a director who lost money to make it. Why are you just collecting debuffs here?

Faced with Jason's questioning, Lu Yiming once again showed his tough attitude: "Being young is not an excuse for not being able to find him. I am also so young. Will it delay me from becoming a billionaire? Will it delay me from chatting and laughing with Bill Gates?"

If others don't know it, how can Lu Yiming not know it? The entire "Resident Evil" series shined in the hands of Paul Anderson.

If you want to make money, you have to find him.

Jason was almost injured internally by Lu Yiming's righteousness, but after all, Lu Yiming was the boss, and he was just a paid worker. At least before he moved to the next job, he could only arrange work according to Lu Yiming's wishes.

"Okay, I'll contact him right away."

At this moment, Paul Anderson was drinking with his friend Harold Fox in a bar on the Avenue of Stars.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame was built in 1958, extending along Hollywood Boulevard from Gower Street in the east to La Brea Avenue in the west, and then from the north along Vine Street between Yucca Street and Sunset Boulevard.

Pushing south. There are more than two thousand inlaid stones on it.

Anyone who is engaged in related industries is proud to be on the Avenue of Stars.

Harold Fox asked: "Are you fanatically pursuing Mira?"

Paul Anderson said without hesitation: "Mila is so beautiful!"

The Milla they are talking about refers to Milla Jovovich.

Milla Jovovich, formerly known as Milika Bogdanovna Jovovich, is a Russian-American actress.

In 1988, Milla Jovovich starred in her first film "Love". In 1991, she starred in the youth romance film "Return to the Blue Lagoon", for which she was nominated for the Young Artist Award.

Best Young Actress. In 1994, she released the album "the divine edy". In 1997, she starred in the science fiction movie "The Fifth Element", for which she was nominated for the 24th Saturn Award for Best Actress.

supporting role.

Compared with her smooth journey to stardom, her relationship experience has been more tortuous. In 1997, Mila married director Luc Besson, whom she met through the movie "The Fifth Element". But the two of them

I was recently divorced.

This made Paul Anderson, who had always had fantasies about Milla Jovovich, see an opportunity and immediately launched a fanatical pursuit.

It's a pity that Milla Jovovich was a little lukewarm towards him. He only made a few appointments but had no plans to go further.

Seeing Paul Anderson being so obsessed with Milla Jovovich, Harold Fox couldn't help pouring cold water on him, saying: "Milla is a very career-minded woman. Although she is beautiful, she is too powerful.

Anyway, I will definitely not find such a woman."

But Paul Anderson was obviously completely immersed in it, and naturally he couldn't listen to Harold Fox's persuasion. He took a big sip of rum, then burped, and said with blurred eyes: "Mila is fine.
