Gu Siwei had just arrived at the office and was looking at the company's reports for this period, when suddenly the office door was pushed open.

"You finally came".

Yu Wei rushed into the office directly, with a smile on his face, and the joy on his face almost overflowed.

Gu Siwei looked up and saw his happy look, and waved his hands to Guan Youpeng and Huang Jiasheng, motioning them to go out first.

After the two of them left the office, Gu Siwei walked out of his office and sat down on the sofa in the reception area.

Yu Wei said impatiently: "Do you know?"

Gu Siwei said: "What do I know?"

Gu Si really didn't know what made Yu Wei happy, but after thinking about it, he realized that what made Yu Wei so happy must not be his own affairs, but must be related to the movie.

"Is the release of the new film doing well?" Gu Siwei then asked.

Yu Weidao: "The results of the release are good, but there are no big surprises."

The comedy kung fu movie starring Cheng Gangsheng, Hong Jinbao and Zhang Lin has been released in Hong Kong. I can't say how good it is, but it's not bad either. It's a newcomer, and even the director is unknown.

, it’s actually pretty good to achieve such results.

The most important thing is not the actors, but the current announcement of Laoyou Company. After being nudged by Gu Siwei, Yu Wei seems to have opened the key to a new world. In order to sell the movie, he will do anything.

Dare to do it.

Let's just say it's a new film. Before it was released, the relationship between Zhang Lin and a certain film and television boss was copied. There was even a news in a third-rate small newspaper that a new actress was slapped by her original partner in the street. The film and television boss didn't even mention it.

Gu Siwei, listening to the newspaper report, there seemed to be a shadow of a certain sixth uncle in what he said.

Then he copied Cheng Gangsheng and said, "Why do you want to be with a rich woman?"

In short, regardless of whether it is good or bad, new movies appear in newspapers almost every day, either in the scandal section or in other sections. In short, as long as you are literate, you will see the news about this movie.

It doesn't matter if you are uneducated. There are movie posters in small fruit supermarkets and small convenience stores all over Hong Kong.

It can be said that a million yuan was invested in a movie, and the cost of publicity was almost a million yuan.

"As long as it's good," Koo Siwei is very satisfied if it's good. He's not a Hong Kong movie channel. He can name every popular Hong Kong movie. He even doesn't know many actors from the peak era of Hong Kong movies. When it comes to Goldfinger

That's a bit much.

If the performance is good and no money is lost, Gu Siwei is quite satisfied with Weishi.

Yu Wei doesn't like the results of the three newcomers at the moment. It's pretty good for the newcomers, but for Yu Wei, who has self-requirements, these results are just above the passing line.

When a person does something seriously as a career, he will have very high requirements for himself. This is the case with Yu Wei. Although he is a combination of two officials and two rich people, he looks like a playboy.

That's true, but don't forget, he has received a far better education than others. His vision and world experience are not comparable to those of ordinary children, let alone the relationship brought by blood.

Already.

So Yu Wei worked hard to make movies, and he really has a few skills. Judging from the few movies he has invested in, it doesn’t matter how much or how little he makes, but they are all profitable. This is actually a bit like a heifer riding a wire -

—The bull coin has the symbol of lightning.

However, this is obviously not what Yu Wei is talking about at this moment.

Seeing Gu Siwei's calm face, Yu Wei said: "The investment in the United States has been completed."

"Um?"

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, but he soon figured it out. The new movie of Lucas, his enemy, seemed to be selling well.

"Oh, the movie hasn't been released yet, right? How much is the box office?" Gu Siwei asked.

Yu Wei pretended to be cool, crossed his legs proudly, took out a cigar from his pocket, smiled at Gu Siwei and said, "Guess what!"

After saying that, Yu Wei took out the cigar cutters and cut the cigar with a click. Then he took out the lighter, and then took out a wooden stick to light the article first, then put it close to the cigar and grilled it, looking at it proudly while doing so.

Take Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei didn't pay much attention to Yu Wei's coin-loading behavior. He was now wondering how much the box office of "American Style Painting" was now.

"thirty million?"

Gu Siwei told the biggest number he could think of.

An investment of one million, and now it has a box office of 30 million, it is definitely a profit. Not only a profit, but also a big profit. Although it has to take into account the costs of distribution, etc., but with a box office of 30 million, this investment is definitely

After making a lot of money, Gu Siwei can get at least two million.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wei shook his head and said directly to Gu Siwei: "Go higher! Be bold!"

While talking, the old boy took a puff of cigarette and spit it in the direction of Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei stretched out his hand to drive away the smoke, and then said: "Fifty million?"

Fifty million, that's a big surprise. The profit of about four million has almost wiped out half of the investment in "Star Wars".

"Yeah! Keep guessing"

Who knew that Yu Wei continued to wave his hand: "Be bolder!"

Gu Siwei said: "It won't be 70 million, right?"

Yu Wei laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha!"

"Um?"

At this time, Gu Siwei could only describe his heart as elated, and thought to himself: Lucas, the wronged man, is really awesome!

"Eighty-seven million, close to 90 million! Universal has decided to release it in Europe, and our old friend is also responsible for the two markets in Hong Kong and Bay Island..." Yu Weina exclaimed with excitement.

"Nearly ninety million at this point?"

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment. This kind of achievement was beyond his imagination. You must know that an investment of one million, in exchange for a box office of 90 million, is a hundred times return. Although it still has to be distributed, theaters

If you take away some of it, for example, the theater share of "American Graffiti" is 50%, which means that 90 million theaters will share 45 million.

The remaining 45 million will be divided among the production, distribution and other interested parties. Judging from Gu Siwei's investment, it can be divided into about 10 million US dollars.

Because Gu Siwei's Legend Pictures also participated in part of the distribution, the final income of Gu Siwei + Legend Pictures may be between 12 million and 13 million.

This also means that the income of Laoyou Company will be around 5 million US dollars. With an investment of 100,000 US dollars, a net income of 5 million US dollars will be obtained. How can Yu Wei be unhappy?

This almost immediately raised the currency of Laoyou Film Company by several levels. Isn’t it enough for a company that invests in Hollywood and makes a lot of money to win the currency of Weniu?

It's just that Gu Siwei doesn't know yet, but his happy things are yet to come, because the box office of "American Style Painting" in the United States has reached 115 million, not including overseas income, purely from the American market.

That's all.

At this time, Koo Siwei added additional investment to make the quality of the film even better, and Lucas also had more money to modify the film.

So many of the revealing shots have been modified, for example John Milner's classic car now has the correct license plate.

When Kurt was preparing to board the plane, one of the plane's engines had already started. This was obviously not true. The engine would certainly not have started when the passengers were boarding the plane.

We have to wait until many of the scenes that were exposed were restored. Of course, there are still those that should be exposed. This is a movie, not a documentary. It is impossible to make everything consistent with California in the early 1960s.

But even with its revealing scenes, "American Graffiti" is still an outstanding movie.

Let’s put it this way, without the success of “American Graffiti”, Fox would not have had the guts to spend ten million dollars on Lucas and make the gamble of the century with “Star Wars”!

It's a pity that Lao Gu didn't know anything. He had never even heard of this movie, and he didn't even know that it was because of this movie that Lucas had the courage to take a chance in Hollywood and then another.

Only after watching "Star Wars" can he achieve godhood.

From this point of view, "American Grace Painting" was the first step in creating Lucas's godhood.

"This makes you suddenly break into my office?" Gu Siwei glanced at Yu Wei.

Although he was extremely happy in his heart, Gu Siwei felt that he couldn't let this guy Lao Yu put all the coins in his pocket, and he had to put some effort into it. Suddenly, he put thousands of ten-thousand-dollar knives into his pocket. Originally, Lao Gu thought

I wasted money when I went to the United States. Who would have thought that the money I had thrown away came back? Not only did it come back, but it also filled my pocket again.

In other words, Lucas used his own movies to sell "Star Wars" to Ku Siwei.

You said that Gu Siwei's happiness could not be many times greater than that of Lao Yu.

As for whether Universal will play tricks, Gu Siwei has already prepared for it. If Universal still wants to play tricks on himself, then Gu Siwei will have to use legal weapons. At this time, the old Americans are not as good as later generations.

Shameless and still able to maintain a semblance of fairness in the law.

Otherwise, it would be nonsense to stand as a beacon of justice in front of Su Damao.

"I told you, be calm!" Gu Siwei raised his head and glanced at Yu Wei.

Yu Wei saw through Gu Siwei's disguise at a glance: "Just pretend, I don't believe you can be unhappy? I made a preliminary calculation and found that this time our old friend's income, including the final overseas box office, should be around 6 million."

Between six and a half million US dollars, looking at current market analysis, the final revenue of "American Gracious Painting" is likely to exceed US$100 million..."

In the past few days, Yu Wei didn't know how many times he had pressed the abacus beads, and he didn't know how many times he had calculated how much profit his old friend could gain from "American Style Painting".

In short, Yu Wei will be happy for hours every time he counts.

For Yu Wei, Gu Siwei asked him to go to the United States and throw out 100,000 US dollars in production costs. In the end, he got back an income of 6 million US dollars. What kind of business is this? What is the difference between picking up money?
