Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 274: Laughing like a madman (600 monthly tickets plus more)

Chen Nuo's judgment was not wrong.

The next day, which was the fifth day after Nolan and his team arrived in China, President Han called him for more than 30 minutes.

On the phone, Han Sanping told him very apologetically that the investment ultimately did not pass the approval of the board of directors.

Mr. Han explained a lot on the phone, but Chen Nuo didn't hear a word he said.

Because it was all just nonsense to please him.

In the end, what Mr. Han meant was that even though he and the Nolan brothers had created one of the greatest villains in human film history and produced the most profitable movie in human history,
But, China Film,
No, Chen Nuo was even certain that it was this Han Sanping, who was on good terms with him, who hesitated because of Warner's attitude and finally decided to go back on his word, completely treating him as a fool and playing a trick on him.

Let him call Nolan happily. Let him fly halfway around the world to China.

In the end, there was only one meeting.

I got one word: sorry. I'm going home.

Yes, this is a movie that even the Hollywood giant Warner Bros. is not optimistic about. Does Han Sanping dare to put his official hat and future on the line?

In the end, it's just such a simple question.

The answer is not surprising.

He dare not.

Maybe if he dares,

He wouldn't be Han Sanping either, he should be called Han Xiaoping.

The next day, after learning the news from China Film, the people from Warner were very relaxed.

Although disappointment is inevitable, it seemed that I could find a rich man to share the risk with me, but now it seems that there is no hope.

But what can we do? Life must go on and movies must be made.

Warner's team flew back that day.

Nolan is going back to England, a little later.

When Chen Nuo went to the hotel to find him in person, the Englishman had not left yet and was running in the gym with his younger brother.

But apparently, both brothers already knew the news.

After Warner received the official response from China Film, the first people to be notified should be them.

Christopher Nolan got off the treadmill, wiped the sweat off his face, and looked very surprised. "Chen, why did you come to me? Don't tell me it was for that matter. My God, hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, there may be 100 million reasons why it can't be negotiated in the end. This is not terrible news for me, Emma, ​​or Jonathan."

"In fact, it just brings us back to square one. So don't feel sorry, OK?"

Jonathan laughed and said, "That's not the case. We traveled around China and ate delicious duck and lamb, as well as that spicy 'shaokao', which made me feel really miserable the next day. However, I still want to thank you and Chris for your hospitality. It was a wonderful trip. But next time we come, we will definitely not let you take off your damn mask on the Great Wall."

After saying this, the Nolan brothers all laughed, and Chen Nuo also laughed with them.

But his smile faded immediately, and his expression became very serious. His bloodshot eyes could be described as crazy.

"Christopher, Jonathan, please listen to me. I stayed up all night last night, and finally, I decided one thing..."

A minute later, the Nolan brothers looked at each other in surprise.

Finally, Christopher Nolan smiled bitterly and said, "Chen, I want to ask, are you crazy?"

……

……

Chen Nuo is crazy.

This is not just Nolan's opinion, Qi Yuntian actually thinks so too.

After guessing Mr. Han Sanping's intention in advance, Chen Nuo did not return to Pan Chengrong's home.

Instead, he went back with Qi Yuntian to his house next to the Asian Games Village.

This foreign-related villa community will be very famous in the future. It covers a total area of ​​1000 acres, 800 acres of which are green. It has an 8-square-meter ecological lake and 3 square meters of lawn.

The property here releases some cute animals such as alpacas, peacocks, and sika deer on the lawn every afternoon, and it is known as the Nara of China.

It is not difficult for outsiders to come in and take pictures or have fun.

As long as you book an afternoon tea for a few hundred dollars or a lunch for a thousand dollars at the hotel here, you can enter this private community to watch deer, touch alpacas and see swans.

The detached villa that Chen Nuo bought faces the lawn and the lake. The area inside the house is about 600 square meters, and there is a private garden of approximately the same area outside.

The owner was eager to sell the house at the beginning, and after knowing that Chen Nuo could pay the full amount in cash at one time, he agreed to sell it for 2500 million.

Including almost new decoration and furniture and appliances inside.

Chen Nuo wasn't that particular and didn't plan to redecorate the place. The Mediterranean style was acceptable anyway.

I only changed the furniture and appliances and moved in for one night on the third day.

Then he never lived there again.

Living there alone was even more frightening than when he was experiencing clown life in a hotel in LA.

Especially on the first night he moved in, he was completely unfamiliar with the room and didn't know which bedroom's window was not closed tightly. He looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it. As a result, the wind blew all night long, almost like a ghost.

He didn't get a good rest all night.

He swore at that time that he would just leave this damn place empty.

Whoever likes comes.

If he didn't have three wives and six concubines, it would be overcrowded and he would never come here to sleep again.

But that night he broke his promise.

Oh no, it can't be considered as breaking his promise. Because he didn't sleep all night.

He lay in the bedroom with the light on, listening to the chirping of insects and the barking of dogs coming from nowhere, and the whistling of ghostly wind, and stayed there all night.

I waited until after 7 o'clock the next morning and called Qi Yuntian.

In less than ten minutes, Qi Yuntian came over.

Because the villa Qi Yuntian bought was on the other side, more than 400 square meters, the location was not as good, there were not as many rooms, and similarly, it was not as scary.

Qi Yuntian used the key that Chen Nuo had left with him to open the door directly, and yelled at Chen Nuo, who was sitting on the sofa and preparing to make a cup of Pu'er tea, "Are you crazy?"

"No." Chen Nuo was concentrating on making tea. His eyebrows didn't even twitch when facing Qi Yuntian's roar.

His attitude made Miss Qi, who had finally gotten angry, suddenly lose her mind.

Qi Yuntian walked over quickly, and after about ten seconds, he finally walked from the door to his front.

I looked around and saw that everything was empty.
In addition to the elegant solid wood decoration and various leather furniture full of rich Mediterranean style, the first-floor living room of more than 200 square meters has nothing else.
Qi Yuntian shuddered, and his anger suddenly subsided.

He sighed and said, "Brother Nuo, please don't be like this, okay? I know Wen Yongshan has been very cold to you recently, which makes you a little sad. How about this, I will call Gao Yuanyuan tonight, or Fan Binbing? Or you can name a name, as long as it doesn't have a family..."

See, this is the disadvantage of using gays as agents, they often severely objectify women.

Chen Nuo said unhappily: "Shut up."

Qi Yuntian sat down on the sofa and said, "If you are not thinking about women, why would you want to do this? No matter how much you think highly of Nolan's movie, are you 100% sure that you will not lose? He will definitely make money?"

"The minimum investment is 2.6 million, and at least 5 million will be needed worldwide to make a profit. Have you ever thought about it..."

"I've thought about it."

Chen Nuo interrupted Qi Yuntian again.

"Investing in a movie doesn't mean you can only make money if it sells well at the box office, right? A Hollywood blockbuster like this is different from The Wind. It can have a huge North American and European market. Its subsequent copyright and sales of genuine audio and video products are all long-term profits."

"Besides, if I were to work with another Big Six company, I definitely wouldn't want to do this."

“But Warner is different.”

"This is not the first time we have cooperated with Warner. Lori Steiner has now become the publicity director. I haven't signed the contract for Batman 3 yet. I don't even believe that they are going to put JOKER on the shelf after finishing the Batman trilogy."

"We have investigated before how much US dollars it has earned from JOKER-related peripherals over the past year. It is tens of millions of US dollars per year. This proves the commercial value of the JOKER character."

"Even if this movie is successful, will Warner break up with me just because of the high profits of a single movie?"

"I don't think Warner is that short-sighted, and Barry Meyer is not that stupid. Finally, I don't think Nolan and his team will let him do this. Don't forget, Nolan's production company will also own 10% of this movie."

Qi Yuntian was a little speechless after hearing Chen Nuo's long speech, "Have you been thinking about this all night?"

Chen Nuo chuckled, "Of course, you think I'm thinking about women? What are women? They will only slow down my ability to make money."

Qi Yuntian gave a thumbs up, but then added: "But I think the risk is too high. You want to mortgage all of this. OMG, Brother Nuo, what kind of courage do you have? I, Xiao Qi, really admire you. You can just rest on your laurels, make some movies, and earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions every year. Isn't that good? Why do you have to make it so big?"

Chen Nuo shook his head. "Is it big? I thought it was big at first, but then I thought, it's not that big. We can afford it."

"US$1.6 million is the production fee Nolan quoted, and the remaining US$1 million is publicity costs."

"If our company contributes 45%, we only need to pay 7200 million US dollars in the early stage, which is about 5 million RMB."

"These houses are just a fraction of our last profit. Two houses in Shanghai, two houses in Beijing, four houses combined, we can try to borrow 100 million from a domestic bank."

"After that, I will take my Twilight contract to the bank as collateral. With my name and credit, I should be able to borrow 2 to million US dollars, or million, right?"

"And if I play the leading role in this movie, my salary will be one hundred million."

"Well, finally, add in my advertising fees from endorsements this year, and other miscellaneous company income, and it adds up to about 1 million."

"Isn't this almost certain? We'll think of a way to deal with the remaining 80 million. If that doesn't work, we can take on more advertising endorsements. Or we can use the company's shares as collateral to a bank. If that doesn't work, we can sell some shares and give them to the people who came to you. It's not impossible as a last resort."

"We need to spend 4500 million US dollars on publicity before the release. If we don't have enough money by then and can't figure out how to raise the money... then I'll help Lao Chen sell his house. I don't think the real estate market will be that bad by then. Isn't it getting better now?"

"That's what I think, what do you say?"

Qi Yuntian took a deep breath and stared at Chen Nuo for a long time. He saw him making tea and drinking tea with a calm face.

Qi Yuntian sighed: "What can I say? Brother Nuo, you have already made up your mind. Of course I will go with you, Brother Nuo."

Chen Nuo smiled, picked up a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, "Come, have some tea."

Qi Yuntian also smiled, picked up the tea and took a sip, then thought for a moment and said, "Let me confirm with you one last time. Do you really want to stake your entire fortune on this fight with Han Sanping?"

"Do you remember what you taught me? You should be steady in life and take your time to make money. Because things that come quickly, often go quickly."

"Brother Nuo, I have to say, this time, it's not your usual style."

Chen Nuo had just bent down and placed the teacup on the coffee table. When he heard Qi Yuntian's words, his hand froze in the air for a moment, and then he slowly sat up straight.

"Style, what's my style?" Chen Nuo smiled.

When taking photos with Nolan and others, he smiled foolishly like a fool.

Now, he was smiling with both of his canine teeth exposed, like a vampire hunting madman.

"I used to think that my style was to be steady and follow the beaten path. But last night I figured it out."

"My style is, if anyone hits me in the face, I'll hit him back with both hands."

PS:

Brothers, please give me more monthly tickets. You guys pushed me to 490th place in the monthly ticket list.

This ranking is too low. It's embarrassing to show it on the page. Please, help me move up a little bit.

How about getting into the top 400?
