Corazon is one of the strongest film distribution companies in Brazil.

In fact, the film industry of several South American countries is basically dominated by several major Hollywood film companies, which truly realizes the sentence of a certain domestic filmmaker: 'I think it is enough to have a Hollywood film production center in the world'...

Corazon's most famous film is probably "Borderland"...

"Do you know how to eat empty wages?"

"I understand, I understand!"

"OK, "Donkey Gets Water" is a work that revolves around eating empty salaries..."

"I think it's a good fit for Italy!"

Well, the Italian government is famous all over the world for its corruption and empty salaries...

Thanks to several satirical comedies: "Where Are I Going", "Sunshine Fierce"...

Therefore, jokes and movies are always the most powerful weapons to spread a country!

When you think of Italy, when you mention France, what comes to mind?

"Haha... The Italian side did buy the distribution rights for $500,000..."

"OK, I want the distribution rights..."

Shen Mengxi did not need to participate in the specific price negotiation after that, he only came to the film festival platform and was not responsible for selling.

......

"Hi Thomas!"

"Shen!"

The two found a coffee shop with fewer families and chatted about "The Great Wall"...

Mainly, Thomas Toole is telling how good Edward Zwick is, and the "Last Samurai" movie made more than $100 million...

"I think it's okay to give 'The Wall' to Edward, and he'll bring a masterpiece like 'The Last Samurai'!"

"Masterpiece?" Shen Mengxi smiled: "... Have the whites taken over the land and are there still women?"

“... But "The Last Samurai" sold $120 million in Japan!"

"So how much do you think "The Great Wall" will sell in China if it is filmed like this? Or in other words, will it be released in China?"

Thomas Toul: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, I'm going to shoot this movie, and it's already approved, if you want to participate, then invest, if you don't want to participate, I'll invest in the production with Bren House and Universal Pictures ourselves!"

“... Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"I absolutely didn't mean that, just to explain the objective situation... In fact, as early as two years ago, I was ready to shoot "The Great Wall", and the idea happened to coincide!"

Smiling, Shen Mengxi added: "... We have an old saying in China, if you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, two years ago, when I climbed the Great Wall, I thought, if a group of monsters march into the Great Wall, and then there is a garrison to guard it, how beautiful it would be!"

"The Great Wall is a legendary project!"

"Then I can call it "The Great Wall" or "Legend of the Great Wall"!"

“... Shen, I hope to make friends with you. ”

"Me too..."

"OK, I'll think about it..."

Thomas Toll got up with a dark face and prepared to leave.

"You'd better hurry up, because in March, I'm going to start shooting!"

“...”

That's right, Shen Mengxi decided to get rid of the legend and go it alone!

He has a story structure, a cost of up to 80 million US dollars, and a mainland box office of more than 1.5 billion, which can recover the cost...

Judging from the network he has built up in recent years, overseas distribution is not a thing.

You don't have to work with a legend...

Of course, the project "The Great Wall" was proposed by Thomas Toll, but so what?

Disney filmed "Mulan", but the mainland can't shoot it?

The light filmed "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World", "Nezha Rebirth", no, people call it "New God: Nezha Rebirth" immediately finalized... The publisher is PropNex!

It's hot for the fat man!

"The Great Wall" is also a public IP, Legendary Pictures can use "The Great Wall", but Shen Mengxi can't use it?

......

Nolan likes to use a cast of veteran actors.

"Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" uses Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon.

In fact, Warner wants Liu Yifei to also participate - for the Chinese market.

"Inception", the box office in China is close to 100 million US dollars, and the country with the highest overseas box office...

Although, only 13% of the account can be divided, that's a lot!

The problem is, "The Dark Knight Rises" doesn't seem to need much of an Asian actor.

In fact, there are no Asian superheroes in the entire DC Cinematic Universe!

Shen Mengxi met Nolan at a party at the Four Seasons Hotel, along with his younger brother Jonathan Nolan.

This party was invited by Studio S to the Foreign Correspondents' Association, including the cast of "Inception", "Carol", ...

It's kind of a small PR.

It's just that the movie is not shown publicly, and everyone is provided with afternoon tea or something...

This is what Nancy proposed, awards season, these judges are also tired, all kinds of public relations methods emerge in an endless stream, send money, send girls...

A lot of people like this casual party would love to participate!

Shen Mengxi and Jonathan Nolan have met a few times, and they didn't deliberately make friends, but they still appreciate each other...

Jonathan Nolan is important.

Nolan's movies, "Dunkirk" and "Creed", without the blessing of Jonathan Nolan, immediately fell in word-of-mouth!

"Interstellar?"

Jonathan Nolan nodded: "Yes, I took this project, it was originally written for Spielberg, but he was busy with the schedule and budget of "Robot Apocalypse" at the time, and he couldn't participate in "Interstellar" anymore... Recently we took out our notebook and looked at it and decided to do it ourselves!"

"About what?"

"Wormholes and time travel..."

Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment...

It's really Interstellar...

"You want to do it with me?"

"Yes!"

"Are you short of investors?"

Nolan's films should not lack investment opportunities, the original time and space, "Interstellar" Paramount, Warner, Legendary Pictures jointly invested and created...

Shen Mengxi doesn't attach so much importance to "Interstellar", for no other reason, there are too many investors in this film, and if he participates, he can not make much profit...

Emma Thomas whispered: "The Chinese market..."

"OK, I'll read the script and say... Don't you worry, the third part of "Batman" should still be in production?"

"Yes, it's in the early stages now..."

After a few words, Nolan and Emma Thomas walked over to one of the judges...

PR, don't chill!

"Inception" received four nominations for the Golden Globe and nine nominations for the BAFTA Awards in Nolan's hometown...

Although I know that the probability of winning the award is very low, I have been nominated, so I have to do something.

Shen Mengxi chatted with Jonathan Nolan...

The two of them were talking about crime-themed film and television dramas.

Jonathan Nolan recently worked on "Suspect Tracking," a series from the producer duo of "Lost," J. Brown. J. Abrams and Brian Burke co-created, Jonathan Nolan was the latter to join...

Later, Brian Burke went to do the "Mission Impossible" series, and Jonathan Nolan took advantage of the situation to take his place. J. Abrams collaborated on Westworld.

"Our company basically does dramas with relatively large scales, and you also know that in today's market, the bigger the scale, the better it sells!"

"Nikita is very good!"

“... Thank you..."
