Chapter 63: Teacher Lu Is Not Home (Part II) (5/5)

Regarding Sino-US co-production, the SAMR has "three principles": 1. It must be filmed in China, 2. The amount of Chinese investment is not less than 1/3, and 3. There is at least one Chinese star.

Of course, this was stipulated after 2012!

The first to eat crabs was a company called DMG Entertainment Media Group, known as 'the recognized leader of China's entertainment industry'!

They also made batches of movies at the beginning, "Twilight", "Mystery Code", "Operative Integration", "Resident Evil: God of War Reborn", "Red Flame Battlefield" and other movies were all introduced by them!

Really invested in the first Hollywood blockbuster "Ring Messenger", invested 17 million US dollars, and enjoyed all the copyrights in the mainland...

It's embarrassing, the mainland box office of "Ring Messenger" stopped at 129 million yuan, and this deal is a loss!

To keep up the good work, the production cost of "Iron Man 3" is 200 million US dollars, and DMG's investment accounts for about 15%, or 30 million US dollars - one of the rewards that DMG enjoys is all the rights of "Iron Man 3" in the mainland!

It is said that "Iron Man 3" will have Chinese actors join the filming, which has attracted high attention in both the media and the entertainment industry.

Andy Lau is indeed the first actor to be photographed by the film, the experienced Andy once immediately asked to see the entire script of "Iron Man 3", this unfulfilled request allowed him to avoid being involved in this embarrassment - the so-called Chinese actors joined, only appeared in the special version!

Then Fan Xiaopang and Wang Xueqi were trapped, and they acted for twenty minutes, but finally failed to appear in the finished film...

Disney is notoriously arrogant about China, but it's strange that when they pull investment, they are very flattering...

"Mission Impossible 4" is different, first of all, it is a reboot of the film, and it has been five years since "Mission Impossible 3"!

Tom Cruise's reputation and reputation have declined in recent years.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have invited Lu Xiaoran to join...

Of course, oranges never make a cost-effective deal, 15 million US dollars, not a small amount, to recover the cost, no matter what, there must be a box office of 300 million yuan, the mainland box office of "Mission Impossible 3" is 82 million, even if the number of screens triples, it is still very doubtful whether "Mission Impossible 4" can get 300 million.

So, ask for an actress to be added!

And the weight can't be too low, at least it has to be a three-time heroine!

Paramount has no opinion, there is only one request, it must be able to speak English...

This news should have been top secret, but Lu Xiaoran and his group have been in Laomei for ten days, and they have finally gained something.

- The promised seven days have been extended...

As a result, Chen Zhixi drank a little too much, and inadvertently revealed...

There was no sound in an instant, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear the heartbeat!

Wan Qian swallowed her saliva and joked, "This character must be Tangtang!"

Tangtang shook her head: "No, Xiaoran didn't tell me!"

"He didn't tell you?"

Chen Zhixi: "This condition was put forward by Sister Zhong, and they were divided into two groups, and Xiaoran mainly talked about cooperation projects with Lionsgate..."

"What collaboration?"

"Xiaoran has a series of secret agent movies, the scale is very large, he wants to find an American partner, we are responsible for production, they are responsible for distribution..."

Da Tiantian: "Agent series?"

Chen Zhixi waved his hand: "I don't know the specifics, he didn't tell anyone... Do you know about Sugar Candy?"

Sugar Candy shook her head: "He rarely talks to me about this." ”

“...”

A few people were full of ideas, but none of them spoke...

......

Liu Shishi suddenly thought of a topic: "Eh, I heard that "Zhao's Orphan" stole the box office, how did you deal with it?"

Here's the thing, a few days ago, a video with a duration of 1 minute and 7 seconds was reposted a lot on Weibo.

The video taken by the mobile phone tells the story of a male audience member who came to the service desk of a cinema to ask for a ticket for "Laughing Jianghu", and the conductor took out a movie ticket from the cabinet instead of the usual ticket dispenser, and the ticket was shown as "Zhao's Orphan".

The ticket buyer repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to "laugh at the rivers and lakes", and the waiter said: "It's okay, it's okay." As a result, the two Chinese New Year blockbusters fell into the suspicion of "stealing the box office", and the "laughing" filmmaker Bona Film has reported to the relevant departments, and the film party of "Zhao Gu", Xingmei Group, issued a statement that it will conduct an in-depth investigation.

Chen Zhixi smiled disdainfully: "The producer of "Zhao's Orphan" is Xingmei, they steal the box office in Xingmei Cinema, what can you do?"

"And what if you steal it from Lone Agent?"

"You think we weren't stolen?"

"That..."

"We also sent a letter of condemnation, and we also offered a reward on Weibo, once we found that a movie theater stole the box office, you can get a reward of 100 yuan for taking photos and uploading them!"

“... 100 yuan, that's too little!"

“... It's a lot, and it should be the rules of the industry to put an end to stealing the box office, but now we have to contribute money and efforts, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it!"

"With the increasing influence of self-media, there will be less and less such things as stealing the box office, after all, you have to consider word-of-mouth when making movies!"

Tangtang got up and opened another bottle of red wine, filled it for a few girls, and asked casually: "Then do you say Director Chen knows about this?"

"I shouldn't know, this kind of thing is not a good thing, once it gets involved, it is black material that can't be erased for a lifetime!"

Wan Qian suddenly asked: "... What time is it in the U.S.?"

Liu Yifei understands this: "Los Angeles or New York?"

"Where's Xiaoran?"

Sugar Candy replied, "He's in Los Angeles..."

"It should be six o'clock in the morning!"

"Send him a video!"

"Now?"

"Why? Don't you dare? I'm afraid that there will be someone else in his house?"

"What am I afraid of?"

As he spoke, Tangtang clicked on the QQ on his mobile phone and sent a video invitation, but he waited for a long time and did not respond...

"He's supposed to be sleeping!"

"Don't bother him, I heard that he has to see different people every day..."

......

Teacher Lu was indeed sleeping, and he was the only one who slept alone.

He... He kind of felt useless.

Listen to the meaning of the auxiliary, the "Fast Pursuit" series is very exciting, and it is also a work that sells more than the other, why did he tell these people that no one is willing to invest?

Lu Xiaoran's original intention was to cooperate in the development of the first part first, and after the word of mouth is obtained, the negotiation of the second part will be easy to do!

However, Hollywood doesn't seem to trust him very much!

Today I'm going to Annapurna Pictures to see if I can convince Megan Ellison to invest, but it's really not good, he is going to buy an American film production company - anyway, there are more than 6,000 film and television companies in the United States, in addition to the famous six, there is no shortage of Lionsgate, STX, and of course, Annapurna Films...

According to the Husky, Megan Ellison is the biggest penman in the United States, on par with her brother David Ellison...

No, it should be said that the film company she founded is the most fanciful production company in Hollywood...

People don't want to make movies for money.
