Chapter 280 Billions of Little Bits!
Time is urgent.
Chen An took some time to go to Los Angeles.
"Jerry, thank you for your hard work and long time no see."
As soon as Chen An met the other party, he thanked him.
Jerry smiled and said, "You know I've been working hard, so did you bring what I wanted?"
"That's natural."
Chen An gave the other party the script he had specially taught him.
Jerry took the script with "Batman: The Dark Knight" written on the cover and stroked it carefully as if he were holding a holy relic.
"You're so disgusting, it's just a script," Chen An couldn't help but complain.
"You don't know, I've been waiting for this script for several months."
Jerry put away the script as if he was caring for his wife.
Only after putting the script away did he return to being a normal person.
"Chen, I don't understand why you chose those actors to star in the movie. They are little-known actors. I don't even know where you know them."
"Don't worry about it, just look for it, but it's still hard work for you."
During the time that Chen An was away, he asked the other party to find actors to produce the movie "The Hangover".
This is a series that can make a lot of money, so we naturally cannot miss it.
There is no need to take the photos yourself, just find someone to do it and keep the copyright in your hands.
"I've forgotten all the hard work I've put in just to get this script. The movie is halfway done. Why don't you go and see it? The director you picked is pretty good and he's also an expert at saving money. You really know how to choose."
Jerry smiled and didn't care. Since Chen asked him to be the producer, his own script was guaranteed, so it was not bad to accept it.
"No need for that. I trust you with me here. I have things to do in my country, so I won't delay you."
Chen An hurried to Los Angeles and planned to leave after finishing his business.
Jerry was surprised. Is it that urgent?
"What's the matter that has you so anxious? Why do you have to go back so soon? I haven't read the script yet. Do you have any favorite actors?"
The new script naturally has new characters. The villains in the first part have all been defeated, so we must find new people.
Speaking of this, Chen An slapped his head and almost forgot, "You reminded me well, I almost forgot, you have to trick Heath Ledger, the actor who was not found in No Country for Old Men last time, to play the Joker this time."
Although it is ultimately the excellent script that makes the characters full and superior, the other party is indeed quite suitable, and the performance is good enough to make the viewing experience even better.
"Him?" Jerry said speechlessly, "Chen, why do you always like to find these art film actors to play Batman?"
The same goes for Bale. If Chen An hadn't insisted on finding him, he really wouldn't have thought of asking him to perform.
"But I succeeded, didn't I? Bale is good. As long as his acting skills are good enough, I will have confidence, instead of looking for a big-name actor."
Looking at Jerry's appearance, Chen An couldn't help but complain in his heart, "You are the typical template of a villain. Every time I choose an actor, you question it and get slapped in the face in the end. Fortunately, I don't bother with you, otherwise some pretentious and slapped-in-the-face things would definitely happen."
Jerry nodded, unable to find an excuse to argue.
"Since you have something to do in China, you should solve it quickly. The preparations won't take long. Even the house that was burned and exploded before has been rebuilt by the company."
With the experience of preparing for the first shooting, the preparations for this shooting can be completed quickly, and the shooting can start soon after finding all the actors.
Chen An nodded, "Read the script first, and then we can discuss it. Let me know when the filming starts."
The shooting of the two films can be staggered.
It shouldn't take long for Warner to produce it, but it will be slower in China. Even the script is still being revised and the project hasn't even been launched.
"Ok, I was just about to take a look. I'll let you know when I get back to the company."
"."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Jerry got up and went back to the company with his things. Chen An did not stay and prepared to return to Beijing. He came directly from Hong Kong Island and was just preparing to return to Beijing.
Han Sanping already knew the news that Chen An had successfully dealt with the Space Administration.
Han Sanping also breathed a sigh of relief, and now he should think about how much he should eat.
It was obvious that the script was not cheap, with the starting price being tens of millions of US dollars. Even if he wanted to buy it all at once, he didn't have the ability to do so.
"I've lost a lot this year. It turns out that movie investment is a mystery. Only Chen An's is more reliable."
Han Sanping looked at the returns on this year's investment bill and felt his blood pressure rising.
Although it is said to be a profit statement, in fact it is a huge loss. None of the films made a huge profit, and it was only thanks to the distribution that it was barely a small loss.
Compared to when I collaborated with Chen An on one or two films a year, the world is completely different.
It's a pity that he is now obsessed with making money in Hollywood and can't even make one movie a year.
Now it’s a bit painful to look at such a big piece of cake but not be able to eat much of it.
As I was thinking, the door was pushed open, and this time I didn't even need to knock.
Chen An shook himself when he entered the room. The capital city was really cold and he still couldn't get used to it after such a long time.
"Brother Han, do you have any tea? Warm it up for me."
"I didn't take them all away from you."
Han Sanping looked at the guy in front of him who treated his office as his own home and said unhappily.
But he still got up and made tea for Chen An.
After entering the office and sitting on the sofa, Chen An felt a lot warmer. "Don't use me to settle the account. I only took half."
"How dare you say that!"
Han Sanping found that this kid was becoming more and more shameless. He only had that little, but he had the nerve to say this after taking half of it.
Chen An listened to the other party's complaints and laughed, indicating that they were on good terms with each other.
Han Sanping turned around and ignored him, concentrating on making tea.
After soaking, he sat on the sofa and asked, "Are you done? How come you haven't been seen for a few days since you went to Hong Kong Island and only came today?"
Chen An held up the teacup to warm his slightly cold hands, "I went to Hollywood and signed a contract with Warner to shoot the second Batman movie. I gave the script to them and dealt with some things before returning. As for the space agency, I've already dealt with it. I'll give them 10% in return."
After Hong Kong, I went to Hollywood. Although I didn't see the filming of "The Hangover", I still took a look at the post-production of "No Country for Old Men" and was quite satisfied.
"That's as it should be. What about the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
Han Sanping nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong with what Chen An reported to the Space Administration, but he seemed to remember that he also contacted the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"No news, but the Space Agency is enough. There is no need to involve the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
"Then you didn't tell me earlier!"
Han Sanping was furious when he heard what Chen An said. If you had explained it clearly earlier, I could have received less scolding!
Chen An looked at the man next to him and his face darkened instantly. Fearing that he would not be able to resist the violence, he hurriedly said awkwardly: "It's not because I see that you, Brother Han, are so powerful that I said a little more, hehe."
Han Sanping had a dark face and looked at Chen An angrily, wishing he could kill him. "But you treat me as a wishing machine, right? At the beginning you said that you needed the other party to do it, and now you say that just one is enough."
"Don't be angry. Now that things are settled, we can start filming. Just be happy."
Seeing that the other party was still angry, Chen An quickly persuaded him to think positively.
Han Sanping didn't want to pay attention to him, "Don't waste your time, just tell me how big you plan to make it!"
"I estimate it to be around 50 million US dollars. The exact amount still needs to be estimated by my company. After all, it is a large amount. It could be less or more."
Chen An immediately raised his right hand and used his index finger and thumb to indicate about 50 million US dollars, with an error of only a few hundred million.
But Han Sanping's face turned even darker when he heard the news!
