Chapter 024 The film and television industry is already murky, and Su Nan is adding to the stakes.
On October 7th, 8th, and 9th, Su Nan met with a group of assistant directors, director's assistants, and behind-the-scenes talents such as cinematographers and art directors in Shanghai.
After finalizing the employment contract, he also showed everyone a portion of the storyboard.
In early September, he only had about 65% of the details in the written script.
At this stage, the entire script is 90% complete, and some storyboards have also been produced.
This includes clothing styles and comic-style dialogue.
With this kind of presentation, the photographers, art directors, costume designers, prop masters, and others basically have a good grasp of the project.
Knowing exactly what the requirements of southern Jiangsu are.
He spent more than 20 days studying in (the shady place) last month, and when he returns to Hong Kong in October, he will still be learning and working on more storyboards.
Rosamund Kwan privately complained that he was taking the project too seriously.
If he hadn't had a gun, others who thought this project would be a hit would probably have copied it and released pirated copies first.
With Stephen Chow cast as the male lead, the probability of the project making a profit is already extremely high.
Other ideas for pirated scripts? If they don't use mainland actors, they can still make more money by showing the film in Taiwan and selling it overseas.
Fortunately, there are guns and people in southern Jiangsu, so those who like to copy homework won't dare to do so.
After all, he also arranged for 10 bodyguards to operate in Hong Kong and join Skyworth's security department.
It continued until the afternoon of the 10th.
When the group from southern Jiangsu landed in Hong Kong and returned to their hotel, Rosamund Kwan laughed and said, "Bao Xiang's (The Dragon and Phoenix Thieves Catching Thieves) is still being filmed."
"After you've spent a few days screening information on child stars, you can go to study anytime you want."
"And the entertainment (exorcist police) was filmed by Uncle Ying."
"Golden Harvest has a drama called (The Story of Sai Wan) starring Win's Entertainment's Cheung Man as the female lead, which is fine too."
These are far more than just a few of the films still in production on Hong Kong Island.
These are people who can come and go freely through Hung Chin-pao's connections.
Whenever Su Nan had any questions while observing and learning, he could ask the director and assistant directors, who would usually share their experience with him.
Having formal training and a solid foundation is one thing.
This involves traveling to six or seven film sets a year to learn from different directors and receive their guidance on techniques.
It has also helped the development of southern Jiangsu Province very quickly.
As of now, the (money laundering) film has officially surpassed HK$1800 million at the Hong Kong box office.
The sale of the port was also very successful due to the high box office revenue.
In this day and age, both the trade in bones and the trade in organs are novel topics.
As the leading actress, Rosamund Kwan's film salary and endorsement deals have both seen slight increases.
Of course, Donnie Yen, the male lead, also became a huge star!
……
Around 7 a.m. on October 11, Su Nan had just finished having a buffet lunch and returned to her room upstairs at the hotel.
Unexpectedly, I saw Goryeo Hong wearing sunglasses standing quietly in the corridor.
He quickened his pace and stepped forward. "Sister Hong, are you here to see Zhizhi?"
This was the first time Su Nan had seen Gao Lihong in nearly a year, but since she was a celebrity, it wasn't difficult to recognize her.
After seeing this, Gao Lihong smiled and started to meet up with him, saying, "Su Sheng, I've come to visit you."
"My husband sent me to deliver 2000 million to you. He's also recruiting bodyguards in Beijing."
"If it's on our way this morning, shall we go straight to the bank?"
Su Nan chuckled, "There's really no need to rush into this money matter."
Do you think we need to borrow to make up for the 2000 million in cash flow?
Su Nan first brought Hong Jinbao to the trade route more than a month ago, but he didn't explicitly say at the time that he was looking for a front man.
But Hong Jinbao, who is 41 years old this year, immediately retorted, "I'll hand over a percentage of the profits!"
It's normal to save up the "tuition fee" in a little over a month.
Old Hong is past his prime, but his previous Five Lucky Stars series was a huge hit, and it's not impossible for one of them to earn tens of millions.
Eight out of ten films launched in the last two years have lost money? He's a minority shareholder.
It wasn't until 1995 that Lao Hongqian's debts were cleared up.
The two chatted and laughed in the corridor for a while, until Rosamund Kwan heard the noise and came out.
Sister Guan and Gao Lihong quickly got into an even more enthusiastic conversation.
Around 8 a.m., the three of them left home. Gao Lihong drove herself, while Su Nan and Sister Guan rode in another car.
As for Ah Hong, she can stay in the guest room and sleep in; she can wait to go to Skyworth together.
While the car was moving, Rosamund Kwan asked curiously, "With such a large bet this time, will the account manager copy our work in a few days?"
"Or leaks of information? The banking system boasts endlessly about its customer confidentiality."
"In reality, any operation by a human will encounter various problems."
Su Nan nodded, "There will definitely be a little bit leaked out, but Microsoft in the US stock market is such a big company."
"It won't have much impact on the overall situation. Even if I invest several million US dollars this year, I will only hold a maximum of one-thousandth of the shares."
Sister Guan's assessment is quite accurate; all sorts of problems will arise whenever people are doing things.
The impact of leaks or copying homework is minimal.
With the rapid development of Internet technology, it's not just one stock that has risen so quickly.
For example, there's Oracle, but Oracle suffered a major drop this year and almost went bankrupt.
The main issue is that a large group of people were exposed for collectively committing financial and sales fraud.
An 80% drop in market value is unprecedented; it's very difficult to short sell in this situation.
Oracle was already at rock bottom in October, with a total market value of just over $2 billion.
But you could buy at the bottom like Microsoft did!
Oracle's revenue returned to $20-30 billion a few years later, representing a tenfold increase.
The two cars arrived at a Citibank branch in Hong Kong Island and received VIP treatment. Gao Lihong then transferred HK$2000 million into Skyworth's public funds.
This money was tuition fees, and it was also invested in Skyworth under the guise of film and television investment.
For example, Xu Ke once spent 30 million yuan to play the Shushan Swordsman series with special effects that made him fall at his grandmother's house.
Regardless of how many years this project will take to complete, Hung Chin-pao has continued to invest more in Skyworth.
The fact that RMB transfers are expected to take place over the next year proves that there is nominally clean money available for spending in southern Jiangsu.
Skyworth only needs to go through Citibank and then a few rounds of visits to Chinese-owned banks like Wing Lung Bank.
Just continue buying Microsoft products from HSBC in a few days.
Investments can yield profits or losses, and this is especially true for investments made in the personal names of Hong Jinbao and Gao Lihong.
This is why Rosamund Kwan mentioned on the way here that HSBC's account manager might leak information in a few days.
The film and television industry is inherently murky, and a few years later, Hong Kong filmmakers who went north also swindled a lot of money from mainland coal mine owners and the like.
In a few years, Skyworth will also venture into Hollywood and work on super-large special effects.
After the money was transferred, the three of them left the bank. Gao Lihong said some polite words and welcomed Su Nan to visit the film crew of "Dragon and Phoenix Thieves Catching Thieves".
She then drove off to the film set to start work.
As Su Nan got back on the train and started it, he laughed and said, "Once Lao Hong's train is on the tracks, I'll come up with a script."
"The money has been transferred, so the project definitely needs to be launched."
This is to help Su Nan prove that his money has a clean and legitimate source.
But the project he casually picked out wasn't exactly a disaster; it was an attempt to snatch Hollywood's 2006 hit, "Remote Control."
The remote control project cost $7000 million to produce and grossed $1.37 million at the US box office.
The film grossed $2.41 million worldwide.
The box office alone broke even and made some profit, plus the television broadcasting rights, DVDs, and streaming rights.
Overall, it's not bad, and the reviews are passable.
Of course, the original (Remote Control) didn't have many special effects; it relied on makeup to rise to fame.
The biggest investment cost is the actors' salaries; the production cost of $7000 million and the total salaries of the star actors are close to $3000 million.
In addition, Hollywood's costume, prop, and labor costs are far greater than those in Hong Kong, which is why such a large investment is possible.
The production in Hong Kong is far less exaggerated.
