China Film originally thought that this year's market environment was not bad, and "Painted Skin" could get 292 million...

It doesn't make sense, Lao Chen can't do it!

Lao Chen's "Wuji", 181 million, the annual box office champion in 05!

That year, A's "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" was only 30 million!

China Film has high hopes for "Mei Lanfang"...

It's a pity that this film...

According to later generations: being shortlisted for Berlin is the public relations of China Film, and the quota is temporarily added;

Later, I went to participate in independent film festivals like Seattle in the United States, but I didn't even enter the top ten;

I went to Brazil, Belgium and other non-mainstream film festivals, under the guise of China's Olympic bid films, to ask for awards, but still did not win a single award!

Mei Lanfang's investment is not small, and there are well-known movie stars like International Chapter, but she can't get a small award...

China Film Public Relations is certain - generally shortlisted for the top three in Europe, the minimum requirement, you have to come to me for the premiere, at least not after the screening, and then use it for awards...

But this movie, China Film is determined to make money!

Mei Lanfang's biggest investment is Xiaozhang's salary and publicity.

In fact, it didn't cost money to set up the scene, and the cooperation with Mei Lanfang's descendants...

Reliable news is that China Film Mei Lanfang only paid 10 million for filming, and the protagonist's salary was from Boss Yu and Huanya, because there was no harvest overseas, Boss Yu would definitely lose.

However, Boss Yu has money, and in 2003 he paid $150 million to buy the Shanghai Hilton Hotel, and in 2004, he paid $8.2 billion to buy the right to operate the Hangzhou Ring Expressway...

He doesn't care about this little money!

How can the movie be so clean?

One investment is 15 million US dollars, how much money is there for a serious movie?

Do you think it's all Shen Mengxi?

The pit is the big money!

Okay, receive!

Back to the film schedule, "Mei Lanfang" accounts for 80% of the film schedule, what about other films?

What do you do with other movies...

But the distribution rights of "Wolf Teeth" are in the hands of Mengxi Company...

will be released on December 10th, and it will collide with ", Elanfang!

......

The time is December 9th, and the box office of "Moving Maze" is released in the first weekend.

North America won $41 million, and overseas revenue was 49 million, of which South Korea contributed more than $5 million at the box office...

No. 1 in the overseas zone!

Fox also attached great importance to it, and arranged for Rain to lead the three leading actors to South Korea...

Shen Mengxi is preparing to return to China - South Korea, whether he goes or not, it doesn't matter!

The word-of-mouth and box office of "Moving Labyrinth" were all within Fox's expectations.

According to their predictions, the North American map should have won about $150 million, and the world could almost break 400 million...

It's already good!

You must know that Fox has a very good box office except for "Hurricane Rescue" this year, other movies have either smashed or failed to meet expectations at the box office, especially "Australian Troubled Times" and "The Day the Earth Stopped", a bunch of big names, and the box office failed miserably...

Let's put it this way, "Moving Maze" has a good chance of being Fox's best-grossing movie of the year!

According to the rules of Hollywood, once a film is profitable, of course, it can't wait to start a sequel.

What's more, "Moving Labyrinth" itself is built according to the trilogy plan...

"There's no need to give the actors too much raise, they just sign a trilogy contract, and you can add a little bit to Duncan Jones's salary..."

"The total cost of the second part is up to $40 million, and we have to strictly control the cost..."

In the conference room, Shen Mengxi sat on the side and watched David, Nancy and the person in charge of Fox talking nonsense.

"I think we need to reconsider Shen's sharing!"

"David, 15% is already very high, you must know that Stephanie Mayer's share of the account in "Twilight" is only 10%!"

“... That's because she's stupid and doesn't know how to fight for herself, anyway, the copyright of "Moving Labyrinth" is in our hands, and it's not too much for us to ask for 20% of the account!"

That's right, David wants to increase the copyright share, and in the second part, Mengxi Company will also invest 20%...

Do you want face?

People at Fox, from production to distribution, are busy, you move your mouth, follow 20%, and then ask for 40% of the income?

I just asked if you want a face?

You can choose not to agree, anyway, Universal is lining up to cooperate with Dream Creek Studio!

Negotiating, slowly arguing...

Shen Mengxi is not short of time or money, but Fox is in a hurry to develop the second part...

Therefore, there is a high probability that I will still agree.

After all, the first part of "Moving Maze" can earn at least $150 million...

......

The third master is also very concerned about the box office information of "Moving Maze", after all, China Film invested 5 million US dollars!

"It will definitely be earned, and how much it can earn depends on the final box office..."

"When is Fox going to call in?"

“... One month after the release. ”

The secretary said: "Xiao Shen sent me a text message to tell me that there will be at least about 15 million US dollars in account!"

"That's not bad, I made 10 million!"

“... But it's a bit difficult to follow up with the second part..."

"How?"

Xiao Shen said that Hollywood attaches great importance to the right to invest in sequels, and basically will not let foreign funds enter the year. ”

“... Can Xiao Shen vote?"

"It should be possible, he is the original author after all, and he still has the name of the producer!"

Hearing this, the third master nodded, and then said: "Talk to him, see if you can get through the connection with Fox, and see if you can make a co-production, it's really not good, we just need China to distinguish accounts!"

"Okay, I'll call him right away!"

“... Has he returned home?"

"Probably not, "Moving Maze" is being released..."

At this time, Shen Mengxi, who they said should still be in the United States, had returned to China, and went to see Wang Changtian for the first time...

For the release of "Wolf Teeth"!

......

In fact, Guang Xian has released a lot of films this year, "Winning the Bid", "Witness", "The Big Search"...

"Winning the Bid" is the theme of martial arts + main theme starring Zhang Weijian, directed by Xu Xiaoming, director and screenwriter of the TV series version of "Huo Yuanjia"...

The mainland box office did not reach 6 million...

Zhang Weijian teamed up with Xie to force Wang to fight Xiaobailong, and forced Wang to have the emperor to protect him, but if nothing happened, he was miserable, and his industry plummeted.

It's long gone.

Therefore, it is understandable that "Winning the Bid" failed at the box office...

"The Witness"...

is still the same sentence, if there were no big names such as Andy Lau in Hong Kong feature films in those years, the box office would not be very good.

It's already good to be able to do 18 million.

If you think about it, "The Informant" has not yet reached 50 million!

Don't think that Shen Mengxi made a "Painted Skin" and won a box office of nearly 300 million, just think that the mainland film market has risen...

Far from it!

The promotion of "Wolf Teeth" lacks a point.

It's something that makes people curious, something that must be watched in the theater...

You can't catch Wu Jing with one enemy and one hundred propaganda, right?

Shen Mengxi directly suggested: "I think we can create a slogan of Wu Jing VS Zhen Bullet, their "Kill the Wolf" rival drama, many people like to watch it." ”

“... are all kung fu movie actors, one is a representative of Hong Kong, and the other is a mainland kung fu actor, so let the two of them get on the bar?"

"yes, that's what I meant!"
