Chapter 707: American Pie

"Boss!"

"Jerry, how are you doing, has Tom been bothering you?"

"I have to say, the joke wasn't funny at all. ”

Cactus Company, Xu Fei hugged the chubby Jerry. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and this product is a bit red-faced, fat and red.

He has poured $50 million at Hollywood, and Cactus has changed office space and rented a small three-story building.

"To be honest, we don't have experience in developing derivatives, and sales are a big problem. At the moment, we can only work with retailers to add our clothes and toys.

Roy has a great idea, Roy, we're talking about you!"

A thin black young man waved his hand, Xu Fei smiled back, and asked, "Tell me more about it." ”

"For example, in "Mulan" released a while ago, the gifts of McDonald's children's package were all replaced by Mulan overnight. We don't have these resources, so we might as well use the copyright to join in and authorize other parties to develop them, including the one you said, uh, sex products, ......"

"Boss, you're a genius, American Pie and sex are a natural pair!"

"I can't wait to give it a try!"

"Condoms must be printed with some chicken soup for the soul, such as 'Growing up is not only about moving forward, but also about safety'. ”

"When you get in the way, stop and lubricate. ”

"Verbal skills are also very important. ”

"Girls are really like apple pie, and you don't want to make a rude sausage!"

A female employee finishes up, and the office is filled with a cheerful air. You drive, I drive, everyone drives, it's really good to drive together.

"Mr. Xu, what are they laughing at?" Xiao Mo wondered.

"You don't understand?"

"Nope. ”

"Why don't you understand?"

"I don't know English. ”

β€œ......”

Xu Fei scratched his head, straightened out the logic and gave up.

The biggest advantage of engaging in derivatives in Hollywood is that copyright protection is effective. Not in China, not even now, just like "Let the Bullets Fly", how many online stores sell bandit masks?

And "Monster Hunt", how many of them sell Huba?

After talking about derivatives, Jerry reported on the issuance.

The Hollywood distribution process is complicated, and most theaters don't show up in person, but instead hire "movie buyers" who have excellent eye-catching and negotiation skills.

Because distributors don't sell just one film, they often bundle the movies that theaters want with those they don't interest in, and balance the number of films that different theaters in the same region get.

This needs to be discussed, exclusive interviews, premieres, meet-and-greets, etc., are all conditions that can be exchanged.

However, "American Pie" is a film, which is relatively relaxed. It didn't have enough money to spread across the United States, first on hundreds of screens in the greater Los Angeles area.

This is followed by a cooperation model, which usually includes: buyout at a fixed price, guarantee, and share.

The score is stepped, the first week is the highest, the second week, the third week is decreasing in turn, and the specific score depends on the discussion.

At the beginning of this year, the theater line was weak, and it was squeezed by the filmmaker, and a large number of them closed down at the beginning of the new century, and later the filmmaker gave in. The weekly ratio is relatively fixed, giving the cinema chain a minimum profit standard.

Cactus pulls hundreds of screens, and in the first three days, takes 75% (distribution, producer). Large companies are amazing, and they can get 90%.

As for overseas distribution, audio-visual products, television channels, etc., we can only cooperate with other companies.

............

At the end of August, the summer season is coming to an end.

After the indiscriminate bombardment of various films such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Peerless Tribulation", "I'm Crazy for Mary", the enthusiasm for watching movies has declined, and it is better to take a look at "Titanic", which is still being released.

In fact, no matter which country it is, there are mostly bad movies, you think Hollywood is awesome, you think Korean movies are amazing, that's because you can't watch bad movies!

What you see is all the essence.

Early this morning, Jessica Alba woke up groggily, physically tired and in high spirits.

She ran to the bathroom, took a decompression shower first, and then washed as fast as she could, reflecting a young and beautiful body in the mirror.

She has always been very satisfied with her capital, debuted at the age of 12, filmed several dramas, and is still a small role. But "American Pie" is different, I will be happy when I read the script, and it should be popular...... Oh no, it's definitely going to be on fire!

Hurriedly ate breakfast and went out to a nearby cinema.

After waiting at the door for a while, Brettney Murphy also arrived. The two don't have much to do with each other in the play, and they don't know each other well outside the play, but there is really no one to make an appointment.

"Jack, what are you going to do over there? Are you going to jump ship?"

"Shut up, I just saw a poster. ”

"Do you want to watch a movie? Please, now that there are no girls with us, you let us two boys go to the movies?"

"American Pie, I think I've seen its commercials, it's funny. Oh, there's a ** woman on the poster!"

"Jack, I don't think it's fun for two boys to go shopping, it's better to go to a movie. ”

"Of course, we're 17 years old!"

Two teenagers with pimples on their faces sneakily bought tickets and sneaked in.

"American Pie" is rated R, and children under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a guardian to watch it.

Jessica couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fortunately, I'm also 17 years old, otherwise I would have to call my dad along, it would be too embarrassing." ”

The two of them then went in, and she looked left and right, and said, "I thought we could have a premiere." ”

"Movies that can hold premieres won't ask us to be heroines. "Breitney Murphy showed no mercy.

Ga!

Jessica's smile froze, and she instantly regretted asking her to join her.

Brettney didn't care, and the two of them shouted in their hearts at the same time, Bichi!

In American education, sex and love seem to be completely separate. The first time, while important, is more of a necessary process of growth.

And in the movie, it becomes the ignorance and longing of high school students.

At the beginning of the film, Jim, who has a naΓ―ve face, does needlework on the restricted channel with blurry images, and even takes out a pair of stockings.

Follow your parents in.

"Is there something wrong with the reception?"

"Uh, yes, I'm watching a wildlife show, and I can't even see the sparrows. ”

The mother shrugged her shoulders and was about to go out when the TV began to call:

β€œDo me! YES!”

β€œOH!BABY!”

Father also came in.

"He's watching a restricted channel!"

"It's just that I can't get it right, give me the remote control. ”

As soon as my father took it, he removed the pillow that was blocking his leg, revealing a stocking that stood upright.

"Hahahaha!"

The audience laughed.

The story of "American Pie" is simple, four virgin high school students promise to become adults together on the eve of graduation.

So all kinds of jokes were born, drinking drinks mixed with rice green, and raping an apple pie...... The whole film is filled with a wave of adolescent hormones.

Xu Fei engaged in "Color is Empty" and deleted some passages, but this one was not deleted at all. It doesn't matter what kind of film the United States plays, let alone look at the live effect, it is 100% excellent.

Of course, "American Pie" is more than just a dirty film.

The youthful atmosphere in it is very appetizing to the audience, and it also carries a little bit of sadness of growth.

For example, Kevin and his girlfriend finally did it once, but faced with the reality of going to college in a different city, the first time it turned out to be a breakup cannon......

Jessica and Brettney are dedicated to two things, watching the film and watching the audience at the same time.

Seeing that there was no urine spot in the whole process, the atmosphere was warm, and even at the end of the discussion was still full of interest. The two couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes:

It's really going to be on fire!
