The three issuing companies are all pressing step by step, but Hong Chen is unwilling to let go.

Hong Chen's position is very clear, this kind of publicity treatment and box office sharing will definitely not work.

"It's good that Chinese movies can be released with us. The head of a company sneered.

"This is the country of rice, will you be too arrogant? Our films are so developed, what good films can you make?"

Only one issuing company, the head of the Confederate Corporation, did not say anything.

"Guys, then we don't have much to talk about. Hong Chen said coldly.

When the heads of the two distribution companies heard this, they both left decisively and walked very resolutely. Before leaving, he shook his head disdainfully.

They are really reluctant to release a film produced, starred in, and directed by Chinese people. They know that there is no market for such a movie!

But the head of the Confederate corporation did not leave.

"Mr. Reed, are you interested in this movie?" Robert asked curiously, seeing that someone was staying.

Reed is a middle-aged man, who seems to belong to the upper class of the United States, with shrewdness in his eyes, he said: "Yes, I am very interested, I watched the synopsis of this movie, it is very attractive." ”

"I can give the highest price in my heart, the publicity level is positioned B-, and you need to pay $10 million for the publicity and distribution, and the box office is 64 percent, how about it?"

"Mr. Reed, the minimum requirement for dividing us is three seven, and it will not change. Hong Chen's assistant said.

"Have you thought it through? I like Mr. Hong Chen's works very much, but I also know that Mr. Hong Chen's film style cannot control the aesthetics of our Westerners, not to mention, how much do you think this film can have such a big response with such a small investment?"

Reed still betrayed his businessman nature, with a faint contempt in his words.

This guy is the same as the gang just now.

It's just that he wants to stay and see if he can get some benefits from here while they are desperate now.

Hong Chen knew that although he was very famous in Huaxia, he really had no foundation when he came to the United States. It is certainly unrealistic to ask others to give him the best treatment as soon as he comes up.

However, he also does not tolerate films in which others insult him.

Eventually, Reed stood up and said, "Mr. Hongchen, my time is limited, and I have other things to do next. The film we gave a rating of B-, divided into four or six, is already the best we can offer. ”

"If Mr. Hong Chen is willing, he will bring the contract to my company tomorrow to sign a contract with me. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to. ”

Reed said calmly, and after speaking, he walked straight away. His words and deeds revealed that he didn't take this movie seriously.

Robert looked a little embarrassed, he couldn't imagine that these companies were so arrogant.

A hint of coldness flashed in Hong Chen's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hong Chen, I didn't expect them to be so demanding. Robert said apologetically.

Hong Chen was very polite and said, "Mr. Robert, I am very grateful for your help in organizing this matter." ”

At this time, Robert suddenly thought of something, and said: "Oh, by the way, there is also a distribution company that said that it would be late, and this company is taking the route of science fiction films, maybe it will be interested in this movie." ”

Hong Chen was originally going to leave, but when he heard that there were still people who hadn't come, he planned to wait.

About fifteen minutes later, the person in charge of the issuing company hurried over, and as soon as he entered the house, he quickly apologized to everyone, saying that the meeting was a little late, and there was a traffic jam on the road, so it was delayed for some time.

This distribution company is called Hill Pictures, and the person in charge is called Seaver.

Then, the two sides began to talk.

Silver's initial opinion, like several others, gave a C+ level of issuance, and the division was also 64.

Hong Chen's bottom line is seventy-three.

Thinking of this, Seaver suggested: "How about we add a few contracts, that is, how much the box office reaches, our share of the account will be changed, and at the same time, the announcement will be announced according to the treatment of B-grade movies, how about it?"

Hearing this, Hong Chen's eyes lit up, which is equivalent to a gambling agreement in disguise.

"In this way, if the total box office exceeds 100 million US dollars, the score will be changed to 73 open, and if the total box office is over 200 million US dollars, the score will be changed to 82 open, how about it?"

Seaver said again.

When Hong Chen was chatting with Seaver, he felt that the suit was full of sincerity, and they really wanted to reach this cooperation.

In other words, the suit treats them as normal business partners.

And the three families just now felt that Hong Chen had something to ask them for, so they put on a lofty posture.

And Seaver's hand is also very smart, the higher the box office, although the share is less, they make more. This is the mind of a businessman.

This is already a very good condition.

There is also a way to make any distribution company of this film rush to publicize it, and the treatment can be mentioned to the highest level.

That's the minimum agreement.

That is to say, Hong Chen promised that the box office of this movie would at least exceed 400 million US dollars, and the little money would come from him, so this kind of steady profit and no loss business must be willing of all distribution companies.

Of course, Hong Chen will not take this kind of risk, and self-confidence cannot be blind.

There are many examples, such as "Sewing Machine Band" in the greenhouse, in fact, the film has a very good reputation, but because the previous drama is too bad, the box office of this drama is not high.

And Dapeng signed an agreement, and the box office of the movie was not enough, so he lost a lot. At that time, in order to increase the box office, he commented on his movies under the Weibo of all the stars he knew, begging the audience to watch them, which was also very miserable.

There is also Xingye's movie, which has just been reported recently, because the box office of "The New King of Comedy" hit the street and did not meet the requirements of the guarantee agreement, a mansion on the top of Xingye's mountain was auctioned.

The headlines of the reports written by the media are all written with the words "bankrupt" of Xingye.

It is certainly unlikely that a superstar who has made dozens of movies and lived for many years will go bankrupt because of the failure of one movie. However, this also shows how much the loss of the movie affects the boss.

Therefore, it is very good that Hong Chen can sign this kind of contract now.

"Mr. Seaver, I agree to sign the contract, it's a pleasure to work together. Hong Chen and Seaver reached a consensus, stretched out their hands, and said in a friendly manner.

Seaver smiled: "Okay, in that case, I will arrange the release of this film after I go back, and it is expected that it will take more than a month to land in major theaters." ”

"That's great. ”

Then, there is the matter of the assistant signing a contract with Seaver.

Hong Chen and Yan Chi came out of the hotel, and there was no expression on their faces.

"The prejudice against us in the United States is really big. Hong Chen said indifferently.

Yan Chi nodded and said, "Normal, this situation already exists, especially in this kind of field involving the leading position of the United States, they look down on other places, not only Huaxia." ”

Yan Chi has studied abroad for many years and knows this situation very well.

"But there is also a characteristic of the United States, that is, if you can really show real skills and be recognized by people, you will also be respected. It's a world where the strong are respected. Yan Chi said again.

"I understand. Hong Chen looked into the distance, the corners of his mouth rose, and then asked Yan Chi: "How is it, do you have confidence in this movie." ”

"I was full of confidence, but now I am a little apprehensive and have no confidence. Yan Chi shrugged.

"Haha, wait and see, I'm sure we'll make it. Hong Chen looked confident.

After that, everything was ready, and Hill Pictures officially distributed the film.

The promotional video was released on the online platform of the United States not long after, but the response was mediocre.

The reason is very simple, there are no international celebrities in this movie, nor is it a big production or a big IP, and the plot doesn't look very exciting, and it's normal for the response to be mediocre.

Of course, the publicity work is also very effective, and many sci-fi fans and suspense fans have expressed their interest in this movie after seeing the synopsis of the plot.

"The encounter between myself in the parallel world, this theme is very novel. ”

"yes, I just don't know what the effect will be. ”

"It's kind of interesting, I've seen the story of superheroes uniting in parallel worlds before, but I haven't seen ordinary people meet yet. ”

"Judging from the promotional video alone, the suspenseful atmosphere is very strong. ”

"It's worth checking out. ”

Sci-fi fans have expressed their opinions, and the novel theme has attracted the attention of many people in the sci-fi circle.

It's just that domestic public opinion is much worse than foreign public opinion.
