Lu Xiaoran came to participate in the Golden Globe Awards, and by the way, he invested in several projects.

Then, I was met by a group of bigwigs...

There is no way, Lao Wang has continued to make big moves, giving Chinese capital the prefix of being stupid and having a lot of money.

$2.6 billion acquisition of AMC Cinemas!

In fact, except for Wanda, the early cooperation between Chinese capital and Hollywood started with co-production of a single project.

New Plains invested $10 million in "Cloud Atlas", becoming the second largest shareholder among the film's investors and obtaining the distribution rights in Chinese mainland.

Later, "Ring Messenger" and "Iron Man 3", which were invested by DMG Entertainment Media, "The Expendables 2", which was joined by LeTV, which was in the limelight at that time, and "Transformers 4", which was participated by China Movie Channel, were released one after another, setting off a wave of co-production at that time.

Although none of these films were eventually released as "co-productions" and could only receive a 25% share of the account in the form of imported films, these films did become a way for Chinese capital to go out and participate in Hollywood's industrialized system. As a result, Chinese film companies have been able to get a glimpse of Hollywood's operating model, rules and experience that have been established for more than 100 years.

However, due to the cultural differences between China and the West, Chinese elements are integrated into the stiffness, resulting in most co-productions being unadaptable, and most of the co-productions in China have not been satisfactory in terms of reputation and box office.

"Mission Impossible 4" is an exception, generally speaking, this kind of A-level production is unlikely to let outsiders get a piece of the pie, but Lu Xiaoran invested 15 million US dollars, as long as the income in China...

After a little total, several investors agreed-15 million US dollars, according to 13% of the account, the mainland box office needs 115 million US dollars to recover the cost.

At that time, the "Memorandum of Understanding on Chinese and American Films" had not yet been signed...

Fosun International and Sony Pictures are also eyebrow-raising...

Huayi and Bona have attempts...

Ahri and Fujitsumi have plans to enter Hollywood!

Why do all the people who engage in the Internet make movies?

Because they have users!

Directly convert users into content payers, and continue to collect wool.

Regarding the North American market, Lu Xiaoran's idea is to invest, and then make money, don't think too much, think too much, it's just obscenity!

......

Universal is short of money!

They were going to develop a dark cinematic universe.

Probably because Marvel is making a lot of money in the market, not only Warner's DC, Universal has also started the cinematic universe plan: they will launch at least 5 movies in the "Dark Universe" in the next 3 years, including "The Invisible Man" starring Johnny Depp, "Doctor Avatar" starring Russell Crowe, "Frankenstein" starring Javier Bardem, and "The Bride of Frankenstein", which has not yet been confirmed to star.

Of course, the first part is called "The New Mummy", and Tom was invited, and the "Mummy" trilogy was restarted...

Universal has been very close to Tom in recent years.

"American Operation" and "Abandoned Battlefield" all starred Tom.

However, Lu Xiaoran is unlikely to invest in Universal, unless they are willing to take out "Fast and Furious" and "Jurassic World"...

So, there is no interest in the platter investment proposed by Jeff Hill.

He came here to make money, not to do charity!

......

Orange Images – North America is located in Santa Monica, just north of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), California's most attractive coastal city.

Lionsgate's headquarters is here, and Orange Reflects Lionsgate is just two blocks away.

"Lao Mei's house is so cheap, such a large piece of land is only 6 million US dollars!"

“... Do you think $6 million is a lot?"

"Compared to Beijing, you know how cheap it is to buy a small three-story building for $6 million!"

"'Human Eradication Plan,' "Hold Your Breath," "Happy Death Day," "Fifty Shades of Grey," you like R-rated so much?"

“... No, it's just that these films are easier to make money!"

Sitting in front of Lu Xiaoran was Wen Ziren.

The art director of his Orange Imaging North American branch is Wen Ziren, and Wen Ziren holds 20% of the shares...

In order to tie Wen Ziren to this boat, Lu Xiaoran also calculated a lot of strength...

"You're so optimistic about thriller genres?"

"You watch Marvel every day, and you're tired of it, I think the next few years will be the world of R-rated movies!"

Wen Ziren nodded: "However, our distribution power is too weak!"

“... That can't be helped, I'm an outsider after all, and I still have to rely on Universal's publishing team..."

It is not for nothing that the six major Hollywood companies can stand at the top of the industry, not that they can acquire a company with distribution rights at will, and they can achieve the level of the six or even second-tier distributors in terms of publicity and distribution.

The distribution problem is not easy to solve, otherwise Pixar Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios would not go everywhere to find distributors, the former is aggrieved under Disney, and the latter even wants to sell themselves to distributors...

If you want to establish your own distribution channel, you must first sign a contract with the theater chain to produce 10-15 films per year...

Do you think it's easy to produce 10 movies a year?

Once you lose money, just play it out!

You have to pay the issuance fee yourself!

MGM is the failure of three consecutive films and directly declared bankruptcy...

Why can the Six Majors stand?

Behind them all stand large conglomerates, which can implement the Great Waterfall model - the production of more than fifteen productions per year ...

"Okay, I've brought over $100 million this time, and these films are ready to start... By the way, did Warner agree to transfer the rights to Return of the Joker to us?"

“... No, they are resolute ... There should also be plans to create a horror film. ”

"Then forget it, by the way, I'm going to Silicon Valley later, you come with me!"

How can things be perfect, "Return of the Joker" is a very famous IP, and Stephen King's works have always been valuable for development.

He asked Wen Ziren to open the price to $35 million, but people just didn't sell it...

“... Silicon Valley?"

"Talk about an investment!"

"Then I'm not going..."

"Come on, and talk to me about your brotherhood by the way!"

Wen Ziren has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, so he naturally has his own circle: Splat Pack, a horror film brotherhood!

This is a film group that advocates making "brutal horror genre films in a modern style".

Darren Lynn Bausman, Eli Ross, and of course Ray Warner, Gary Doberman...

The latter two are Wen Ziren's friends...

If Wen Ziren is not famous at all, why are there so many high-quality horror film scripts for the orange subsidiary?

"The Conjuring series can be developed more, maybe it can be made into a movie universe or something!"

"Aren't you going to shoot "Killing God"? and say that that is the foundation of the company!"

“... I'll talk about it casually, and I'll shoot it in the second half of the year!"

"Why the second half of the year?"

“... Because Keanu Reeves' salary is too high, I have to wait for him to reduce his salary a little more. ”
