Chapter 720: Go up to the tall building alone and look at the end of the world

After two months of release, the release of "Passionate" in North America ended, with a total box office of more than 55 million, which was a great success, and the box office of "Passionate" in history was $28 million, doubling with the blessing of Jiang Hao.

In the global market, the number of countries has reached 17, and now the total box office has exceeded 30 million US dollars, and it is not over yet, and experts predict that the global box office of "Passion" is very likely to exceed the 100 million mark, which is definitely a gratifying achievement.

Not long ago, Monroe was named one of the most watched actresses in the United States and one of the sexiest actresses in the world, and her fame soared.

At the same time, Hall Films also received the box office of "Wars 2: Home Alone" from Warner, which was only the first batch of North American box office, totaling 13.7 million, which made the company's funds extremely abundant all of a sudden.

Now Jiang Hao has 20 million in hand, I have it in the world, what will I do next? Naturally, I continued to make movies.

Jiang Hao thought again.

He decided to release two movies at the same time, one is "Raccoon Wars 3: The Imp Fights Again", the plot is basically a sequel to the homeless home, this time with adventures in another city, and there are constant jokes.

On the other hand, Jiang Hao's eyes are aimed at a more famous movie in the history of film, his name is "Qinglou Yan Prostitute".

"The Prostitute of the Green House" was filmed in 1960 and starred the well-known actress Elizabeth Taylor at the time, and his other name was "Butterfield Eighth".

Jiang Hao aimed at this film because the film was a huge success at the 1961 Oscars, allowing Taylor to win the Oscar for Best Actress.

If you want to push Monroe, you have to make more films, Monroe is mainly sexy in "Passionate", and the Oscar may not be favored, but the actor Jack Lemmon won the best actor, Jiang Hao is ready to cast a wide net in case he catches a big fish.

Jiang Hao has watched this "Qinglou Yan Prostitute" and remembers every detail in the movie.

The heroine, Glia, is cynical and omnipotent, smoking, drinking, and indulging, and her ostensible identity is a radiant model, but in fact she is a high-class call girl in a secret prostitution liaison office, and her phone number is "Butterfield Eighth", which also becomes her nickname.

The dissolute Glia inevitably falls into depravity, and later she falls in love with her prostitute, a socialite, but ultimately fails, and when she is disheartened, she thinks of suicide and deliberately causes a car accident, and before she dies, she finally realizes that she wants to live a new life, but it is too late.

Truth be told, from his modern point of view, the film has a strong '60s feel, slow and long, with a certain lethargic feel to it.

But the core of this drama is very good, the conflicts are constant, and Taylor's acting skills are outstanding, which is also the reason why it can enter the Oscar vision, and it is also a box office blockbuster, Jiang Hao feels that if the image of the prostitute is played by Monroe, it may be more beneficial to Monroe's interpretation breakthrough.

Jiang Hao locked himself at home and began to write the script, "Raccoon Wars 3" is a popcorn movie, as long as there are enough jokes, Jiang Hao can just take out some movie jokes that he has seen in later generations is enough.

What, you said that you used it too much and then it didn't work?

Hehe, so many dramas, countless stalks, just copy it.

As for "The Prostitute of the Green Building", Jiang Hao is attentive, because he only borrowed the core of the story, and a lot of the content in it needs to be rewritten, and he wants to make this classic even more classic.

Hollywood movie script creation, later generations have a set of mature creative templates.

That's right, it's a routine.

Mature commercial films basically use this set of standards, and the harsh places are even measured in seconds.

The opening scene shows the tone, mood, genre and subject matter of the film, and usually introduces the main characters, shows the previous history of the protagonist, and finally leads to the theme, which will not exceed 5 minutes.

Then there is foreshadowing~

Nudge~

Dispute~

The second act is connected, and the B story and the plot echo ~~

Excessive entertainment~~

The bad guys are approaching~

The breath of death, the feeling of despair~

The third act is connected, so that the A story and the B story are connected~~

The final climax part ~~

Ending, warm and happy or cruel ending.

This set of formulas has been rigorously calculated, with audience psychology, of course, having a formula does not mean that it will be successful, and bad Hollywood movies in later generations still abound, what content to add to it, this is the skill of screenwriters and directors.

Jiang Hao has watched the original film of "Qinglou Yan Prostitute", took its essence and removed its dross, polished it with the latest formula routines, and stood at the height of the times, adding some content to it, and naturally getting twice the result with half the effort.

As the saying goes, "read all the world's god films, and life is naturally uncensored".

he

It has reached the realm of 'going up to a tall building alone and looking at the end of the world'.

Monroe came back, saw that Jiang Hao was still writing, took off his coat and changed into home clothes, approached the study and quietly opened the door, saw Jiang Hao reading the manuscript, with a wicked smile on his face, stepped on the floor on his toes and walked in, without making a sound, when he walked behind Jiang Hao, he stretched out his hand to hug Jiang Hao's neck.

"You're back." With Jiang Hao's keenness, he could naturally hear Monroe coming.

"Honey, have you got your script ready?" Monroe said in Jiang Hao's ear, her eyes looking over her shoulders at Jiang Hao's hands.

"Just got it done, do you want to take a look?" Jiang Hao raised the thick script in his hand.

Monroe jumped up suddenly, "Okay." ”

took the script in Jiang Hao's hand and read out the name, """Qinglou Yan Prostitute"? Do you want me to play a prostitute? ”

"After you finish the script, we'll talk about it."

“OK。”

After reading the script, Monroe was attracted by the story in the script, came to Jiang Hao's side and said, with a sad expression on her face, "Honey, this is a tragedy, Grea died in the end, why are you writing like this, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Jiang Hao asked her to sit down next to her and said: "Monroe, in fact, the identity of Gria in the story has been doomed, this is a story about love, at first she was bohemian, but when real love came, she became cautious about gains and losses, she wanted to maintain her self-esteem, and her heart was humble, when she encountered things, sometimes she naturally became hysterical, the past was not wrong, but he would decide his mentality." ”

Monroe seemed to understand, "Honey, I think I need to watch it again." ”

Jiang Hao smiled and pointed to the already dark sky outside, "Let's go out to eat something, you can continue to watch it when you come back, don't worry, have enough time, I'm going to help Carter get Raccoon 3 up, and then prepare for the drama "Qinglou Prostitute", select actors, form a crew, etc., it will take about a month before filming starts." ”

"Who are you going to let play the rich businessman actor in the movie?" Monroe asked.

"Of course it's me."

Monroe suddenly smiled, "I found out that you are a very domineering guy, whether it is in the movie or outside the movie, you have to dominate me and prevent me from having a chance to cheat." ”

"What, do you feel suffocated?"

"No, Jon, so that I will feel safe, and I would rather be strangled by love than ruthlessly abandoned." Monroe said with her arm around Jiang Hao.

......

On Wall Street,

Except for interests, everything is a floating cloud.

Everyone is chasing profit, a group of bankers meeting in a small room, no friends, no morals, no feelings, nothing but interests.

It is often the most greedy people who win.

Andy knew this very well, and looked at the busy staff in the hall outside the glass wall, he smiled, stood up and walked to the platform outside, and shouted to everyone: "Call, call everyone, tell them that our investment rate of return is guaranteed to be 15% to 20%, and investing in Andy Dufren Securities is definitely their best choice." ”

A month later, Andy absorbed more than 10 million investments through this lure of high interest rates, and then he used this investment to operate a stock, which nearly tripled from $0.45 per share to $1.18 now, and the company made a lot of profits.

After the stock is sold, Andy pays dividends to investors, and their investment income reaches 3.7% in a month, if it is calculated in this way, the return will reach 40% that year, and those investors laugh crazy, and some people make additional investments, and some introduce their relatives to Andy Dufren Investment Company, so that those introducers can get a commission.

That night, Jiang Hao and Andy said a lot, the financial market in later generations, the more mature the state and the more chaotic, especially after the rise of the Internet, just send an investment APP, get a few advertising pages, and then use WeChat and other ways to spread it, you can harvest a group of investors.

Then, the lower ones are to run away as soon as possible, and the more advanced ones are operated through finance, and slowly you will find that your funds are increasing, but they have set many conditions, and you can't get your money back no matter what.

Jiang Hao's point made Andy Maose, who is familiar with financial operations, suddenly open, as if a person with profound internal skills suddenly learned a set of unique skills, and has become a top master in the investment industry, often an operation is a combination of punches.

The good thing about combos is that he didn't really break the law, he just walked on the edge of the law, and it wasn't about morality, because on Wall Street, morality is never the standard of conduct.

As Andy himself said, the bankers of Wall Street have never been a good bunch of people.

Here, it is the 'capitalism' of Chiguoguo.

After three months of operation, Andy now has more than $40 million in funds, of course, there are 20 million of customers, and he is aiming for junk bonds.

Junk bonds are mainly issued by some small companies to raise funds for business development, his other name is high-risk bonds, and seeking angel investment is somewhat similar, because the credit of this kind of bond is questioned, there are few people who ask for it, and Jiang Hao told him how to operate junk bonds, and Andy was shocked and inspired when he heard it.

Andy has his eye on a pharmaceutical research company in the United States.

He was going to talk to their boss first, buy all the bonds issued at a very low price, invest money in publicity, and create a rumor, such as the research of a drug that can treat hepatitis, which is also one of the main research projects of their institute, through publicity, to inflate the value of the bonds, and finally sell them to make a five-fold profit.

As for the rumors, the institute can be said to have made great progress with the reporter at the time, but it was written as a success, but we did see the light of day, and even if it was investigated by the Economic Crime Investigation Division, they could not do anything.

This is the process that Andy has prepared for himself.

It naturally contains a lot of risk, but there is no risk in investment, if you want to exceed returns, you must dare to take risks.
