Chapter 488 Buy One Get One Free

Grosvenor has just taken over the family for less than three years, and he is a rookie in the real estate industry. It is normal for him to be inexperienced and underestimate his opponents.

As a family that owned a large amount of land in London more than 200 years ago, once Grosvenor made efforts in real estate, it would be equivalent to breaking into a super player in the real estate industry who was dressed in magic but not yet high-level.

If Li Changheng encountered such a potential competitor, he would of course use public opinion, business, and even shady means to slander and suppress him.

In the end, it extinguished his idea of ​​entering the real estate industry.

It's a pity that these people's methods are still a bit rough and too impatient.

A small investment of only 6 million pounds not only failed to defeat Grosvenor, who only invested 3 million pounds, but also misjudged his enthusiasm for this industry.

Li Changheng can be sure of Grosvenor's opponents, but he didn't know that he had already cooperated with Li Changheng on the project in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Grosvenor, who saw the benefits and his reputation in the family business, could not back down so easily.

I would rather be in debt than to make my first successful project in England, not the one my family has had in the past.

On September 15th, the production team officially started in the small town of Hadar.

Li Changheng smiled and said to Grosvenor, "If I were you, I would build a huge billboard saying 'Welcome to Hadar Lake' next to the community.

After the image of the slogan of two seconds appears in the movie, at least if you transform the remaining villas into private houses and rent them out to Londoners who come here with their children to play.

Should be able to attract those hotels to visit. "

"Residence changed into commercial real estate?"

Before Grosvenor could speak, Andrew hurriedly asked, "Henry, do you really think your movie will have such a big influence?"

Li Changheng gave Andrew a white look, and patted Grosvenor's shoulder who was in a tangle.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, there is also a big lake about 200 meters away, which is more than ten meters shorter than the one built on the hillside.

There was a feeling of surprise in my heart.

"Your vision is actually good. At least if you are willing to sell each house for only 500,000 pounds, personally, I would still buy one here as a leisure place for vacation, lake tour, and mountain climbing."

Grosvenor shook his head, "It's not that easy."

Li Changheng immediately knew that this guy would rather choose between losing money and making money than just getting his money back and being laughed at in despair.

Nodding with Andrew, he left the two of them alone and went back to the crew.

There is Horn, who is the assistant director in name but is actually the director, or the executive director.

Li Changheng's role is only to confirm the performance of the actors, and whether the various scenes are the same as his own memory.

As for the lighting, photography, costumes, props, shooting plan, how to schedule, etc., he just asked questions.

Then it's all handed over to the director, producer, and other people in charge.

Of course, Horn and others are willing to be puppets, except that Li Changheng's salary is based on the director, producer and other standards.

He also promised to invest 1 million U.S. dollars in them to make a script called Melody, a translation of Qingwuzhu, which he bought from a screenwriter.

This movie is about the pure love story of two boys, one girl and three children.

After reading the script, Li Changheng immediately thought of this movie, which will be remade by the French in the future, and it is also called a childhood movie.

Since it will be remade, it must be a high-scoring movie.

Moreover, in Europe in this era, art films are the mainstream. As long as they can touch people's hearts, the probability of losing money is actually very small.

In addition, the protagonist of Home Alone is a child. Horn, who has been holding the script for several years, is relatively better at dealing with young actors than other directors.

As for the style issue, that is the problem of the boss Li Changheng.

He said that he wants comedy, and if he wants the audience to laugh, Horn and the entire crew have to do what he thinks.

Making a movie is definitely a super unfamiliar job for Li Changheng, but he has all the plots in his memory, and he can easily know what kind of result he wants.

Therefore, without interfering with the operation of the crew, only the actors are required to meet their own standards, and the shooting progress is surprisingly fast.

Of course, it's not that no one has a problem with him.

After all, actors are not puppets, and directors have their own ideas.

If we really follow his ideas, then everyone is really just a tool.

But in the end, he was directly suppressed by him.

So there were a lot of bumps and bumps at the beginning, and some people even gave up on themselves. The boss said that what effect he wanted, he would try it one by one.

However, three days later, the entire crew saw that the two stupid thieves hadn't entered the villa yet.

After being turned on his back by people playing tricks from various institutions.

Immediately, I felt that it was reasonable not to talk about it. If I didn’t talk about artistry, it seemed really funny to see two adults being played like this by a child in a movie theater.

A week later, Li Changheng took Anne, and the main members of the entire crew, to sit in a villa in the small town of Hadar provided by Grosvenor, watching the rough cut.

In just 5 minutes, a movie clip that didn't even match the sound, Annie just watched the picture and laughed and fell into his arms all the time.

After the screening, Li Changheng was very serious and reached out to shake hands with the two stupid actors.

"Gentlemen, perhaps we can discuss the sequel.

Of course, you can also wait until after the movie is released to discuss the salary with my lawyer.

In principle, I am willing to use three times your salary in this film, which is 30,000 and 24,000 pounds, to sign a sequel contract with you. "

Two stupid thieves Hawkins, Scree's eyes lit up.

The film's salary of 10,000 and 8,000 pounds is considered a high salary for these two actors who are only a little famous in the drama industry.

Now facing a triple price increase, even if he knows that the young man in front of him is likely to lower the price.

But even one-third of the film was not finished, and no one could guarantee the release of the film.

First get one-third of the advance payment, for the two of them, they can solve the pressure on themselves and their families in life.

As for whether the movie will be a hit at the box office in the future, and if there is a sequel, it will be at least one or two years later, or even a few years later.

For those who are short of money, this choice is actually not difficult.

And if the filming is carried out according to the current progress, there is still one month at most, and the filming will be almost finished.

Compared with those directors who take a year or even two years to finish filming at every turn, the price/performance ratio is simply super high.

Besides, who is this young man in front of him?

Between befriending him and offending him, no one would choose the latter.

"Thank you, my lord, for any questions from our side."
