After talking about the movie script, Sun Hao and Quentin Tarantino stood side by side on the podium.

The judging method for who wins and who loses is very direct. Representatives of several Hollywood film and television companies sitting in the first row under the rostrum make bids. If your company wants to invest in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" or "District 9"

》How much budget can be given?

Then, whoever gets the bigger budget wins!

The first bidder was Universal Pictures, whose representative was Donna Langley, president of the film division. However, she did not bid immediately, but looked at Sun Hao with a smile.

"Sun, will you direct this movie yourself?"

"certainly!"

“When can this project be launched?”

“Next month!

Because props, special effects, and the visual design of the film all need to be prepared in advance, and the official start of filming will probably be in the second half of next year." Standing on the stage, Sun Hao explained in detail.

"Well..." Donna Langley nodded, raised her hand and called out a number.

"If there is an opportunity to invest in the filming of "District 9", the initial budget given by our company is US$50 million."

"Pa bang bang..."

As soon as this sound fell, the audience burst into applause!

Because according to Hollywood's investment standards, an investment of more than 50 million U.S. dollars will reach level A, and this is still the preliminary budget.

Perhaps next year, he will start cooperating with Sun Hao on the "Batman Trilogy", and Time Warner President and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Bewkes' bid is much more favorable.

"Sun, 70 million US dollars, if you think this budget is a bit low, our company can give you two opportunities to increase the budget."

"Pa bang bang..."

Liu Yifei was particularly excited. Although she did not feel that the film scripts written by Teacher Sun were outstanding, she believed that these professionals had better vision than herself.

Time Warner and Universal Pictures definitely know more than me!

But in an instant, Quentin Tarantino made a comeback. Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation Division, didn't even look at Sun Hao, but directly raised a sign with the sign above it.

In big bold letters he wrote:

【90 million US dollars!】

Well…

No one applauded this time.

How come no one applauds?

As the host, Han Shanye saw that the scene was a bit cold, so he made a guest appearance as the usher in the Spring Festival Gala.

"Pa bang bang..."

"good!"

But the embarrassing thing is that no one at the scene agreed.

Because everyone saw the second sign held up by Jeffrey Katzenberg.

[Condition: Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz must appear in this movie at the same time]

Damn...

The salary of these three people alone can exceed 60 million U.S. dollars. Calculated in this way, the investment of 90 million U.S. dollars in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is not much at all.

The bid for "District 9" just now was much clearer, and I was attracted to the plot, story, and Sun Hao's ability to shoot movies.

"Mr. Han, how should we calculate this? Because DreamWorks' bid comes with conditions."

At the scene, Wu Tianming, the director of Xiying Film Studio who was doing statistics, was a bit confused.

"Of course, only the budget amount is calculated, because you have never said before that Hollywood companies are not allowed to raise conditions." Quentin Tarantino, who was standing on the podium, crooked his elbow when he said this.

Turn around Sun Hao.

"Director Sun Hao, do you think what I said is right?"

"right!"

"Look!

Director Sun Hao is still very impressive."

Quentin Tarantino looked quite proud.

Next, it was 20th Century Fox's turn to bid.

"Director Sun Hao..."

"Um?"

"The question I just asked is to turn an ordinary story into a thriller with just one reply. Can you tell me the answer in advance?" Mike Dunn, chief marketing officer of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, apparently asked Sun.

Hao was more interested in the story just now.

"Director Sun Hao, if you can announce the answer in advance, I can provide a budget of US$80 million for the movie script "District 9" on behalf of the company."

"Excuse me!"

Sun Hao simply refused.

"Because I want to use this small topic to help my company find some very good film screenwriters."

"Well, that's good!" Mike Dunn smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand to greet Han Shanye who was standing at the corner of the podium:

"President Han, our company is willing to provide a budget of US$80 million for the movie script "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", and it is an unconditional budget."

"Pa bang bang..., good!"

As soon as Mike Dunn finished speaking, Quentin Tarantino applauded at the scene.

"Paramount is willing to provide a budget of $70 million for the screenplay "District 9."

"Columbia Pictures is willing to provide a $50 million budget for the screenplay "District 9."

………

"Sony Pictures is willing to provide a budget of US$100 million for the movie script "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

With Sony Pictures President Hiroshi Takahashi making an offer, the duel between Sun Hao and Quentin Tarantino also came to a close. Sun Hao lost with a budget of US$10 million.

.

"How about it?

Are you satisfied?"

Quentin Tarantino was very happy and used his elbow to turn Sun Hao next to him.

"Sun, let me state in advance that this is a friendship dispute between the two of us and has nothing to do with the movie "This Man is from Earth" that you shot before. I am not because you invited so many famous Hollywood directors but didn't

Please let me hate you!"

Damn...

Sun Hao almost didn't curse.

I said that my brother had no issues with Quentin Tarantino, but he wanted to challenge him... It turns out that the crux was here.

James Cameron, you invited.

Steven Spielberg, please.

You even invited the French director Luc Besson, but you refused to invite me, a film director who is very friendly to China...

Haha, Sun, if I don’t teach you a lesson, who will I teach you?!

Quentin Tarantino was even happier when he saw an expression of enlightenment on Sun Hao's face.

"Forget it, Sun, you're pretty good too, you're still proud of yourself in defeat.

How about this, I buy you a drink tonight, just to comfort you, a loser?"

"fail…"

Sun Hao turned to look at Quentin Tarantino.

"Mr. Quentin Tarantino, how could I fail?"

"How come it didn't fail?"

After hearing Sun Hao's words, not only Quentin Tarantino opened his eyes wide, but even everyone sitting under the podium looked at Sun Hao in confusion.

What's going on?

All eight film and television companies have submitted their bids, and your "District 9" is indeed $10 million lower than the budget bid for Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"?

Just when everyone was confused, Harvey Weinstein, who was sitting in the first row by the window, suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Oh, I almost forgot.

My company, Miramax Pictures, has not yet submitted a quote for the movie script "District 9". Our company's quote is US$40 million..."

"How is that possible?" Quentin Tarantino shouted from the stage.

"Harvey, you old gangster, your company is not qualified to make a quotation at all, because according to the agreement, both parties only recognize the budget quotations from the eight major Hollywood film and television companies."

"Yeah, that's right!" Harvey Weinstein shrugged.

"But, Mr. Quentin Tarantino, have you forgotten? My Miramax Pictures is actually a branch of Columbia Pictures. Now, I put 40 million US dollars in the budget quotation given to the parent company.
Chapter completed!
