Reborn Capital Madman

The excitement of the movie "Dragon and Tiger Fight" is undoubtedly. Li Xiaolong showed off his new skills including Shaolin Temple's Eyebrow Stick and Philippine Short Stick. When he played the villain played by Shi Jian, he was the ultimate showdown in a mechanism composed of a lot of mirrors.

Heart-wrenching and weird.

Gao Xian's eyes glanced left and right without notice, and saw Charles Bludoen and Prince Charles both enjoying the sight.

This is not a surprise. Charles Bludoen is a businessman and naturally likes things that are directly stimulating. Prince Charles seems to be polite and elegant to leave the public to demonstrate the nobleness of the British royal family, but he is concerned about the movie "007"

The Crown Prince, who has a special liking for the series, actually has a passionate heart of YY.

However, Gao Xian still vaguely felt that compared to the three kung fu movies starring Li Xiaolong before, "The Dragon and the Tiger" seemed to be missing something. Perhaps it was because he had to accommodate Hollywood rules and had to compromise.

As a Hollywood-made movie, "The Dragon and the Tiger" is not only the main actors and a large number of behind-the-scenes come from Hollywood, and cooperates with well-known Hollywood companies like Paramount, but also the release process is also a standard Hollywood movie mode.

In other words, Li Xiaolong, Zou Wenhuai, Gao Xian, Xiehe, Jiahe and Shanghua Culture jointly created a Hollywood movie in the true sense, and the protagonist is a Chinese.

In the end, four weeks after its release in the US theaters, "The Dragon and the Tiger" won a box office of 30 million US dollars.

On the surface, this data seems ordinary, but if you consider the shooting budget of only one million US dollars, you will know how successful it is in business. When Zou Wenhuai was so happy that when he reported the good news on the phone, he could guess the match based on his voice alone.

It looks like he can't stop.

The reactions of American audiences to "The Dragon and the Tiger" can only be said that those who are interested are fascinated by the infatuation and those who are not interested are too lazy to ask whether a movie ticket is sold.

In fact, this foundation is enough.

When "The Dragon and the Tiger Fight" ended in the United States, the electronic games of the arcade platform of the same name began to be launched on the market.

The game playability has been designed. Although it still has the simplicity of this era, it is already amazing enough and the sales are no worse than "Pong".

However, the price of the arcade platform electronic game of "Dragon and Tiger" is not as high as "Pong", only 2,000 US dollars, a total of 500 US dollars.

The reason is that some small companies represented by Atari are chasing hard in product research and development, and competition has begun to emerge in the market.

This phenomenon was completely predicted by Gao Xian, and he didn't care about it at all.

After all, the focus of the work in 1973 is not on video games. It is enough to have a good start. As for the rest, let the subordinates use their skills to play. When Gao Xian frees up his hands, he wants to deal with things like Atari.

How to deal with your opponent!

Compared to arcade machines, which have only been verified to be feasible in business models, Gaoxian is more concerned with finding easy microprocessors, and this task must be done by Intel.

Therefore, this time when I went to the United States, Gao Xian had to take a trip to Intel in person.

...

After the premiere of the movie "The Dragon and the Tiger Fight", Prince Charles, who was a little confused, reluctantly bid farewell to Gao Xian and returned to the UK.

Gao Xian smiled and said, "I will return to the UK after I finish my affairs in the United States. At that time, I can meet His Highness the Prince again."

"Then let's make up." Prince Charles held Gao Xian's arm and said in a low voice: "After I return to the UK, I will contact the BP people."

"It's time for you to be the prince." Gao Xian nodded.

After the end of World War II, Western European countries implemented nationalization in their economy to quickly cure the trauma of war and accumulate the necessary wealth foundation for social welfare that can be dispatched by the official government to ease social conflicts.

Take BP for example, the British Mansion is the major shareholder with more than half of the shares.

This situation will not change until in the 1980s, when Mrs. Thatcher, who believed in the free economy, came to power and promoted privatization.

Therefore, Prince Charles is a useful middleman for BP.

...

After seeing off Prince Charles, Gao Xian pulled Charles Bludoen and seriously appreciated George Lucas' fresh work "American Style Painting".

Seeing Gao Xian watch "American Style Painting" as scheduled, and there are also the president of Paranor Robert Evans and the boss of Robert Evans, Charles Bludone, who appears at the same time, feeling that George is about to turn around.

Lucas, very excited.

In fact, "American Style Painting" is not the first film directed by George Lucas, "THX   1138" is.

However, this science fiction movie invested by Warner failed at the box office, with only $2.4 million, which inevitably casts a shadow on George Lucas's career.

Of course, after the movie "Star Wars" was released in a shocking manner and after George Lucas became famous, "THX   1138" was picked up again and given various affirmations.

Gao Xian estimated that George Lucas should already have the concept of "Star Wars" in his mind, but under the pressure of survival, he had to work hard to come up with a "American Style Painting" to alleviate the urgent need.

"American Style Painting" tells the story of a group of 17 or 18-year-old middle school students in Northern California who went their separate ways at the end of the summer vacation after graduation and left.

At the beginning of the movie, a fresh atmosphere came to your face.

Within a few minutes, Charles Bludone made an old habit again and yawned boredly.

Gao Xian and Robert Evans have long been accustomed to it, while George Lucas was so embarrassed that his old face turned red.

Looking at the young version of Harrison Ford on the big screen, Gao Xian couldn't help but secretly admire him. This is a masterpiece with a shooting budget that is not as high as "The Dragon and the Tiger Fight", but the box office is over 100 million US dollars!

Charles Bludoen, the "big man" who did not see the value of "American Style Painting", but Gao Xian knew that "American Style Painting" accidentally stepped on the drum beats of this era and became a very popular young man in the United States.

My favorite "campus movie" pioneering work.

After the movie ended, Gao Xian asked, "How much marketing advertising budget has Paramount made for the release of "American Style Painting"?"

Robert Evans laughed and said, "It's enough for this movie to be available in theaters, what other marketing advertisements are needed."

"This is not possible." Gao Xian shook his head, "I think this movie is very popular. If Paramount has no marketing advertising budget for it, then I am willing to pay $500,000 to support it. By the way, the movie schedule will be

Must arrange it during summer vacation.”

Robert Evans was stunned when he heard this. The budget for "American Style Painting" was less than 800,000 US dollars, but you have to give $500,000 to market. Judging from this momentum, it is no wonder that you spend $50 million.

I took a photo of a subsea block that I don’t know if it can produce oil.

George Lucas couldn't get into this situation and could only watch it.

Charles Bludorn, who was still thinking about the cooperation of electronic game consoles, impatiently told Robert Evans: "David's vision will not be bad, just listen to him."
