As soon as the party began, Li Rui got off to a big business.

Li Rui reached an oral agreement on behalf of Blockbuster and Starz to take over the online broadcast rights of Starz's film and television programs for $40 million a year. In addition to Starz's TV program resources, it also includes Sony and Disney and dozens of small and medium-sized

Film and television resources of film companies.

In this way, in addition to its old film library, Blockbuster has successively won the film library of Lionsgate Pictures and Starz, greatly expanding the number of film sources. Finally, it is no longer a pitiful little broken site.

After getting Starz, Li Rui met Matthew McConaughey and his friends again.

After the two hugged each other, McConaughey introduced the others to Li Rui.

"This is Clegg Bowden." McConaughey pointed to a man with a very tall eye socket and was deeply entangled. "He was the screenwriter of that movie."

He pointed to the woman who was very small, dressed in a black sweater, but looked a little panicked, and said, "This is Melissa Warreck, another screenwriter. They collaborated on the script, and that's really

A genius story, Hollywood cannot be without this movie!”

"And this one, Robbie Brenner, who is a lesser-known Hollywood producer, I mean, I don't stand on the Oscar podium like you did, but his professionalism makes

People admire him." McConaughey introduced his third companion.

Li Rui welcomed the three of them very enthusiastically.

Robbie Brenner should have attended many similar parties and his performance was quite normal.

Bowden and Warreck were very reserved and felt out of place at the party, as if two children were scrambling into an adult party and were shocked to see anything.

Seeing that they were a little nervous, Li Rui called the servants to give them a glass of wine, and then raised his glass and said, "I'm very happy to meet you. I've heard of your script. Now can you tell me in one sentence? That's it.

What kind of story?”

Warreck looked at Bowden.

Bowden hesitated, saying one word by one: "In summary, this story is a city-based, Hiv-affected, homophobic, racist cowboy, and a cross-dressed gay who becomes good friends

, The story of them all dying in the end.”

The atmosphere is very cold.

This is probably the worst story summary in history.

Fortunately, Li Rui has watched the story of "Dallas Buyers Club", otherwise if it were someone else, he might have left after hearing this.

McConaughey also looked dark and said quickly: "Li, don't get me wrong, the story is not that simple. Clegg... He was stimulated because he couldn't find the money for the script." He said and pointed at his head.

.

Li Rui nodded in understanding and smiled: "I think his summary is interesting, and I can't wait to see this story. So you think, how much money can you invest to shoot it?"

McConaughey and the other four were a little stupid.

Is it necessary to invest money?

Few people know how much effort they have spent to make this movie.

More than 20 years ago, Bowden heard the story of the protagonist Ron Woodruff, who drove for several hours to meet the other party. He interviewed him for three days and later with Warreck.

, based on the interview, a movie script was written and the movie was named "Dallas Buyers Club".

In 1996, they sold the script to a film company, and they were about to invite Dennis Hope to director, while the starring chose Woody Harrison. This was a pretty good combination that made them look forward to.

Who knew that the film company went bankrupt the following year after buying the script. Since then, the filming of the movie has become far away. For more than a decade, Bowden and Warreck have been looking for opportunities, but they have repeatedly hit a wall. Bowden has suffered from this.

He got mentally ill and was even sent to a mental hospital for seven months.

Fortunately, almost twenty years after the script was born, they met Robbie Brenner and contacted McConaughey through Brenner, and the four began to work together to make the film.

Even with McConaughey joining, it is still extremely difficult to find funds. They once wondered whether this story is as excellent as they imagined, or whether Hollywood still needs such a movie?

Just as they were about to lose confidence, Li Rui appeared like a savior and asked a question that shocked them: How much do you want?ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Bowden and Warreck didn't know how to answer, so they looked at McConaughey together, and McConaughey looked at Brenner again. Brenner was the producer, and he should know how much it would cost to make this story into a movie.

.

Robbie Brenner was quite nervous. He hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and giving a number that he thought was very scary: "Five...5 million magnesium, what do you think?"

Li Rui frowned. This expression fell into everyone's eyes, and it felt like it was cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. They saw too many such expressions, and they would give them disappointing answers every time. It seems that this

The same is true once.

Brenner immediately said: "Actually, if you save a little, or if Matthew asks for a little less salary, four million will be enough!"

McConaughey immediately promised: "I can star in the film with zero pay, as long as a certain proportion of dividends after release!"

Whether this movie can be filmed is a problem, and whether it can be filmed is even more problematic. No one knows how much it can be sold after entering the theater. In this case, McConaughey does not have to pay for a movie, but only pay dividends

, it is actually no difference from not having money.

Li Rui smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I mean, five million is not enough. If you shoot this movie according to the most perfect idea in your heart, I mean, shoot it according to the goal of winning the Oscars.

, There is no limit on shooting, how much does it cost?"

Li Rui remembers that the Dallas Buyers Club in his previous life seemed to be filmed with 5 million magnesium dollars. The entire crew was so poor that they were once in a situation where the crew could not afford the bill for three meals a day, but it was

Under such a difficult situation, they still made the movie, won three Oscars and two Golden Globes, and the box office that didn't sound too much more than 30 million magnesium.

It's simply a miracle!

So Li Rui was wondering, if they were given a sufficient budget so that directors and actors could realize their every idea, would they be able to hit more awards or would they be invincible?

Li Rui is not short of money or lacks Oscars. He just wants to do an experiment.
