    "This is a photo of the Black Pearl. I didn't pay much attention to it before. After it was completed, I really saw it and realized that although the ancient warship was much smaller than the modern warship, it was also clean and tidy, and many aspects of the design were  It is quite humane. I think a few hundred years ago, if there was a pirate ship like the Black Pearl, it would indeed be able to roam unimpeded in certain waters. " Wu Yusen has been in charge of the preparations for "Pirates of Malacca" for a long time.  He kept an eye on almost all the props and filming locations, and he also learned a lot about Kazuma in the process.  At this moment, he was sitting in Mo Fei's office, talking to Mo Fei God: "In addition to the Black Pearl, we have built five large ships, including two armed merchant ships like the one you mentioned, boss. In addition, there are  It won't take long for a few simple ship hulls to be built. Even if you want to make a movie about ancient naval battles, it won't be a problem. The two water tanks have already been completed. The big one is on the side of Anaconda Bay.  The coastline is almost two miles long and extends to more than 600 meters. There is also a large section with a beach. Depending on the terrain, you can take pictures of various landscapes such as bays and seas. The smaller one is located at Che Wan, where you can take pictures.  Shots of ships coming in and out; the military port is built in Ant Bay, next to the big pool; a little further out on the sea is Huangmao Island, which has been booked according to your plan, boss, and the scenes on the small island can be filmed there. In addition, we are in Malaysia.  Kuching also borrowed local water storage facilities to build a pool. The coast is full of tropical scenery at a glance. There are also local characteristic buildings for rent, plus the scenery on the Phang Nga Bay in Thailand, this can solve all the problems.  The sponge shot has been filmed, but the prop ship needs to be towed over there by a tugboat. We don¡¯t have the ability to do that, and besides, some ships can only be seen, so you still have to take care of the tugboat thing.  I have an idea to see which company is better to cooperate with" After talking for a while, Wu Yusen was also a little thirsty.  He picked up the cup and drank half of it without caring about the image. Then he smiled again and said: "But, boss, you said we spent so much money on this movie, so I calculated it in advance. All the props and backgrounds  It is certain that the construction cost will exceed HK$400 million. The film will have to sell for at least 150 million US dollars before we can make back the cost. Don¡¯t tell me, the pressure is really quite big.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so.  What's wrong with spending so much money? You know how much the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie in the previous life spent on props and filming. What you spend now is really not too much.  After all, these props and scenery are actually visible.  It will be shocking when the actual filming of the movie starts. Two million Hong Kong dollars a day is considered a small amount of money. It is an invisible bottomless pit. It will probably make Lao Wu anxious by then and he will have to hold back his energy.  I have to finish filming as soon as possible.  Smiling and nodding, he said: "Old Wu, you think it's enough now. Then you really need to exercise more to help your heart. The cost of film production will continue to rise in the future. Maybe it won't take too long.  , we will invest in a movie worth more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, so don¡¯t be surprised when the time comes.¡± Wu Yusen still believes in Mo Fei¡¯s words. Mo Fei has never been stingy in investing in movies, and will try his best in every movie.  Make every detail the best, and of course money plays the most critical role.  But even so, Lao Wu was a little uncomfortable with it. A movie cost more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.  What a huge scene that was, I couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my god, more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, it is enough to catch up with Hong Kong's box office in a year." Maybe as someone who has been there, I have already become numb to this kind of big production.  He smiled and said: "As a director, you should also know that the investment in "Cleopatra" in 1963 was more than 40 million US dollars. Now it has at least doubled, which is almost more than 100 million US dollars.  As early as more than 20 years ago, people have already produced large-scale productions that we can't do now. We still have to catch up. Besides, the current film industry is developing too fast, and the addition of technological means is enriching films.  While improving the production methods and enhancing the viewing effect, it also brings greater investment. Good shots are all made with money. The film industry will soon enter the era of money. In addition to competing with actors and actresses,  In addition to technology, competition in technology and money will also become increasingly fierce. It won¡¯t be long before movies costing hundreds of millions of dollars are produced one after another. The pace will be so fast that we can¡¯t accept it. Recently, I am planning a science fiction movie.  , which is Philip K. Dick's "Total Recall". I have already bought the adaptation rights, and the planned investment will be more than 40 million US dollars. You have also seen "Terminator", and I plan to use Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Singer will star. If the effect is good, we will continue to make a sequel to Terminator. The investment by then is estimated to be more than 80 million US dollars, which will not be smaller than the investment in "Pirates of Malacca". Even so, our investment  It won't be the biggest, HollywoodThose companies in ?? are much more ruthless than us.  ??And the investments we are making now are not spent on one movie. My plan for this movie is to arrange it into a series of at least six to seven movies, and at most more than ten movies.  So our current investment is really nothing. It only costs tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars evenly spread over so many movies. This is much more money than what we will spend in the future.  "Wu Yusen already roughly knew the filming plan of "Pirates of Malacca". Although he was excited about shooting more than ten movies in the series, he immediately turned his mind when he heard that the movie had an investment of nearly 100 million US dollars. Song Zhe looked over his shoulder.  It sounded very uncoordinated and authentic: "Forty million, eighty million, and they are all US dollars, boss, I dare not think of any more, but in the Hong Kong film industry, this is definitely an unprecedented large investment.  I know how big the wind will be.  I've also noticed Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is indeed a good actor in action movies, but the boss didn't say anything about using him to play "Total Recall", but I only invested in the "Terminator" he starred in before.  It cost more than six million U.S. dollars. How come a sequel costs nearly 100 million U.S. dollars?  " "Haha, you may not know much about Lao Wu. When "Terminator" was filmed, James Cameron was just a small character, and it was too difficult to find investment.  In order to prove my ability as soon as possible, I shouldn't start working as soon as I have some money.  Therefore, many props and other things were not perfect, and only half of the original script was filmed, and the remaining half was cut due to funding and various other issues.  ¡± Mo Fei also said: ¡°If we want to shoot the other half, we must work more on props and post-production.  Only in this way can we make a good film that is much more perfect than the first one. A science fiction film like that must have an investment of tens of millions, otherwise it will really be impossible to make anything.  Of course, it is not without its benefits to invest such a large amount. The first film invested more than 6 million US dollars and won a box office of almost 80 million.  So a sequel with an investment of 80 million must have a box office of more than 400 million. The greater the investment, the greater the income. As the saying goes, 'a big banana has a big peel'.  " Wu Yusen can also see the trend of increasing film investment, but he has not thought that it will be so exaggerated. It seems that he is so sure. I mostly believe it in my heart. When I look back, think about the "Pirates of Malacca"  An investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars doesn¡¯t seem that big. He curled his lips and said, ¡°If I go by what you said, boss, in the next 20 or 30 years, I won¡¯t be able to invest hundreds of millions in a big-budget movie.  Dollars, thinking about it makes my heart beat, but I don¡¯t know what the box office will be like.  " I said it in my heart. You probably wouldn't have thought now that there would be nearly three billion US dollars in box office in the future. If you really want to say it out, you might have to call an ambulance. After thinking for a moment, he returned to the topic and said:  ¡°As the times continue to develop and progress, everything related to our lives will continue to advance. We don¡¯t know to what extent it will progress. In short, it is unimaginable to people today.  No one can say what will happen a hundred years from now. Let¡¯s talk about our first plan now. Which company we will eventually find to cooperate with to tug the ship? Don¡¯t worry now.  Just look for it when you need to take pictures. There are so many boats in Hong Kong and it¡¯s easy to find.  On the other hand, Lao Wu, now you have to put aside the matter of "Pirates of Malacca" and help me catch up on a movie to be released in the summer.  Then you will go back to shoot your "Pirates of Malacca", which will be able to coordinate the actors' schedules. After all, "Pirates of Malacca" is the biggest project in Phoenix Culture's history, so the more prudent the better.  " Phoenix Culture's current directors are a bit short, and Wu Yusen understands it very well, so he has no objection at all to letting him rush to make another film. As long as "Pirates of Malacca" is still in his hands, everything else is  Fuyun asked: "I have no problem at all. I wonder what movie you have arranged this time, boss?"  " Could it be that he changed into a cigarette, took two puffs and said: "There is a TV series in the United States called "French Open". I don't know if you have heard of it. It tells the story of a doctor's wife who was killed and the doctor became a major murderer.  suspect.  A doctor once found a man with a prosthetic limb running out of his home, but he could not prove it.  The judge and jury found the doctor guilty and sentenced him to death.  On the way to escort the doctor and others to the prison, the prisoners in the car tried to hijack the car and escape.  The driver was beaten to death and the prison car overturned on the tracks.  A train roared by, and at the critical moment, the doctor jumped out of the train and ran away.  Sheriff Gerard, who was in charge of the case, came to the scene and ordered a comprehensive search for the doctor.  The doctor can only prove his innocence by finding the real murderer.  He came to the hospital to treat his wounds and changed his image.  But someone still recognized him.  The doctor and Sheriff Gerard had a hard chase and finally escaped by falling down a waterfall.  The doctor found it??Hospital that customizes prosthetic limbs.  He obtained the information by disguising himself as a janitor.  Just as he was about to leave, he discovered a misdiagnosed child.  The doctor's professional ethics allowed him to save the child, but it also exposed his identity.  The doctor once again escaped from Gerard's hands, but this time his behavior changed Gerard's view of him.  He believed the doctor's words and began to search for the real culprit.  The doctor found the suspect Xiqi and searched his home. He found that his colleague Dr. Lin was related to the matter, and he also understood that he had been carefully planned and framed.  He attracted the police and Gerard discovered the clue.  But Dr. Lin also died in a suspicious car accident on the night of the doctor's accident.  The doctor pulled up Dr. Lin's file and discovered that Dr. Lin was responsible for the development of a new drug with toxic side effects, and that the doctor's report on the drug had been tampered with.  The doctor inferred from this that the mastermind behind the entire incident was Lin's superior, his friend Dr. Nigao.  The fact is just as the doctor speculated, Nigao is the main messenger of all this.  In order for this new drug to be put into production, he changed the doctor's report and wanted to get rid of him.  He ordered Xiqi to kill the doctor at all costs, and Xiqi intercepted the doctor on the subway.  The two had a vicious fight.  At the critical moment, the police arrived.  The doctor cleverly used the police to arrest Hitch and successfully escaped again.  The doctor began to fight back.  He came to the hospital.  Just as Nigao held a celebration and gave a speech for the success of the new drug as the chairman of the pharmaceutical company, the doctor suddenly appeared and exposed Nigao's crime.  Nigao desperately fought with the doctor.  At this moment, Sheriff Gerard also discovered the truth and rushed to the hospital.  In the chaos, Nigao knocked out a policeman and pointed the gun at Gerard. At the critical moment, the doctor knocked Nigao to the ground and saved Gerard.  The truth of the case finally came to light, and the doctor was cleared of his crimes.  I have bought the rights to adapt this TV series, and the script and actors have been finalized. I will give you one and a half months to get this movie, and I have also started to arrange the schedule of the actors of "Pirates of Malacca".  "
