Chapter 629
Filming had only just begun.
One disadvantage of Pirates of the Caribbean compared to other blockbusters was that there were many live-action shots.
There were special effects, but in reality, very few.
They were only needed when Barbossa and his men turned into skeletons under the moonlight.
So the filming time would be very long.
It was fortunate that the quality of actors in Hollywood was indeed much higher, and the staff Jason and Dai Lin found were all elites.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be finished in a year without overtime.
Qin Yu calculated that it would take at least eight months to film.
Three months for post-production.
However, they could film and edit at the same time; catching the summer release window next year shouldn't be a problem.
It wasn't too bad.
During the summer release window, students all over the world were on vacation.
For a movie of the Pirates type, it was pretty good.
Another point was that he still had to set aside a month to go to the Detective Chinatown 2 crew.
At that time, the crew would have to stop for a month.
This wasn't a problem either, because the Screen Actors Guild also required the crew to give a vacation after continuous filming for more than half a year.
Saying this was to protect the rights of the actors.
Regarding these regulations, Qin Yu was also drunk.
Really annoying.
"Alright, everyone rest for another half hour; after half an hour, prepare to film."
"Depp, Quentin, you two get ready, you have quite a few scenes this afternoon."
"Understood."
The crew members began to get busy.
And on the other side.
Qin Yu was angry, and the betting companies were also very angry.
Warner and Fox had already privately and quietly notified them of the demands.
To put it bluntly, it was: we see you making too much money, and we're jealous.
Without us, you wouldn't be able to make that much money.
So, you have to share the money.
We are also very fair; those with more bets pay more.
Those with fewer bets pay less.
Gathering sixty million is about enough.
Consider it a hardship fee.
And no matter how many times you appeal, you have to admit defeat in the end.
To be honest, admitting defeat didn't matter.
Anyway, it's betting, as long as you make money; their reputation wasn't that good anyway.
What did this count for?
But paying money?
What does paying money mean!
It has always been us betting circles taking other people's money; this bastard Qin Yu even wants to take our money.
Damn it.
Las Vegas.
MGM.
"Is there any problem on Qin's side?" Clover asked.
"No problem, many betting companies have already sent people; if there's danger, calling a few hundred people is no problem."
Clover nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
"But BOSS, there is one thing I need to tell you."
"Go ahead."
Gelie told Clover all about the demands from Warner and Fox yesterday.
"They said MGM has to share seven million in compensation!"
When Clover heard this, the corner of his mouth also twitched; damn, the money isn't much.
But it's very unpleasant.
Casinos have casino rules; when did you start collecting advertising fees from us?
That's going too far.
"BOSS, should we give it?" Gelie also felt it was very strange.
Is this guy Qin really not worried about us?
We aren't good people.
"No~ forget it, agree to them, Qin is a shameless bastard." After Clover finished speaking, he immediately laughed again.
"But he is also an interesting bastard; tell him later that he can come to Las Vegas to play when he has time."
"MGM can host him the whole way."
"..."
"I'm afraid Qin will worry that we'll play dirty."
"No, this little guy has a lot of guts, otherwise how would he dare to snatch food from a crocodile's mouth."
"That's true!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Soon after MGM agreed, although other betting companies were a bit unwilling, they also agreed one after another.
The money wasn't much, it was just that they felt very unpleasant.
It was the first time a casino had been forced to pay a hardship fee.
This guy Qin had set a precedent.
After they agreed.
Whether on the internet or in newspapers, both sides started a tacit war of words again.
Every little bit of deception counts.
As long as everyone knows it in their hearts, by the time the movie is released, it will be about time for the final judgment.
They didn't even need to say it out loud.
All smart people understand.
Unlike abroad.
Domestically on Weibo, a group of Weibo brothers had long seen through Qin Yu's routine.
After being on the headlines for a few days, everyone reacted.
What kind of person is Qin Yu, a knight of justice!
Justice my ass.
That guy only knows how to take advantage of young actresses all day long, is treacherous and cunning, and would use his own life to fight the betting companies.
Keep dreaming.
"Why are they still arguing on the foreign internet? Are they crazy? It's obvious that Qin Yu is working with the betting side to set up a game."
"One makes a reputation, the other makes real money; can't you see that?"
"..."
"To the person above, do you think only you are smart? Do you really think foreigners are stupid? Even if they see it, what can they do? They wouldn't dare to offend the betting companies."
"That's right, this guy Qin Yu is smart; the media doesn't say it, and no one on the internet says it either."
"By the time they react, Qin Yu and the betting companies will have already finished harvesting."
