Chapter 112: Sincerity?, (5/5)
Lu Xiaoran and his orange line are close to dominating the Chinese film industry...
It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's also half the country!
Xu Guangtou became the owner of a listed company with a stake in 21 Holdings, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" sold 1.6 billion, and the market value of 21 Holdings rose by 20%, driving Xu Guangtou's worth to rise by at least 200 million...
At the same time as he submitted "Embarrassment", Orange announced that he had withdrawn the copyright of the Embarrassment series...
Then, everyone knew that Orange had broken with Xu Guangtou!
Even if Lu Xiaoran didn't say anything, such a big group as Orange has enough influence to extend its tentacles to all aspects of the circle...
Basically, except for Huayi, no other company is willing to cooperate with Xu Zheng.
But Xu Guangtou didn't want to join Huayi...
His first choice was always the Embarrassment Collection.
......
Lu Xiaoran ignored Xu Zheng, but discussed "Year Beast War" with Ning Hao...
"Year Beast" is the first loss-making film that Ning Hao participated in.
"The Return of the Great Sage" is a special case, and I estimate that at least three years, the box office of domestic animated films will not exceed "The Great Sage"!"
"So what do you say animated films can account for 15%?"
"I'm talking about a mature film market, where can today's Chinese film market be called mature?"
"However, don't worry, Cannes this year, let them bring "Year Beast Wars" to the trading market, the copyright of domestic animated films is very good..."
In 14 years, "Rabbit Man" sold in 65 countries, why is it so good?
How much does Disney cost to make an animation, from as little as 100 million to as much as 200 million or 300 million US dollars, if the Eastern European market or France wants to buy "Kung Fu Panda", it is not only expensive, but also has to be divided among others. But for our films, they can buy the rights for $100,000, so why not? And there are no cultural discounts for cartoons, they are all suitable for young audiences, and they are especially easy to sell.
"Rabbit Man 2" went crazy and had to stop selling later...
"The Return of the Great Sage" and "Fruit Treasure Special Attack" are the same, they are particularly popular...
"Fruit Treasure Attack" didn't sell well in China, but it was a big hit overseas, and the copyright sold for more than 3 million US dollars, and "Kuiba" was a little more miserable, selling for 2 million US dollars...
But also the cost recovery is guaranteed.
Don't look at domestic animation, it seems that the technology is not good, but there are not many animated films in the world.
Huang Bo pushed Xu Zheng, who said embarrassedly: "... Xiaoran..."
"Director Xu, do you have anything to do?"
"I..."
“... Oops, it's already two o'clock, I need to go to the set to play... Let's go first!"
Lu Xiaoran ignored him and walked out of the lounge directly...
Leaving Xu Zheng with an embarrassed face.
Ning Hao shook his head: "This thing is not easy to do!"
Huang Bo: "... How?"
"We're both here, and he's got the same attitude!"
“... They're all brothers who have come together..."
"So, after signing the contract, you won't abide by it the next day?
Xu Zheng sighed: "... I want to know that's going to happen, do you think I'll do it again?"
"Dong Ping didn't do anything?"
“... Orange is completely businesslike, and said that it is okay to ask for copyright, 50% of the income!" added: "If you don't pay a dime, the copyright investment will be divided into 50%..."
"That's what it means I don't want to play with you anymore!"
That's exactly what it means!
"Embarrassment" has been approved, and the script has found Yang Qing, starring Shen Teng + Allen, focusing on exotic cultural contrasts...
Lu Xiaoran personally grabbed the script!
With the "Embarrassment" series, as long as the plot is qualified, it can definitely sell more than 500 million!
Then it's easy to do, as long as the first part plays the signboard, the later story can be completely let go of playing!
You see, even if you leave Xu Guangtou, the embarrassing series can still be filmed, but Xu Zheng is without the embarrassing series, and he really can't film...
The film market is very cruel, without strong connections, as long as you don't have a movie at the box office, you will be kicked out of the first candidate immediately.
Xu Guangtou was originally ambitious, wanted to create his own circle of contacts, and started another Xu Zheng, and then found that everyone was respectful of him...
Of course, he knew how to get rid of this stubborn solution - the bell had to be tied to the bell.
So, he came with enough sincerity.
He feels 50% unacceptable, and his bottom line is 20%...
You see, this is the businessman's thinking, he really thinks that Lu Xiaoran took back the copyright because of the problem of money!
It's just that people from the two worlds shouldn't have intersected in the first place.
......
At the party that night, Xu Zheng was not there - Lu Xiaoran said that Xu Guangtou was there, so he would not participate!
Ning Hao: "I have done the script of "Moon-Clone Strikes Back", and I am ready to shoot it after the New Year!"
Huang Bo swallowed his saliva, and Lu Xiaoran suddenly laughed: "... Lao Huang also said that he wanted to take a break for two years, I will calculate it for you, the "Indian God of Medicine", "Nine Ghost Generals" trilogy, the first part of "Walking with God", and now there is the "Moon" series, just don't go to "Extreme Challenge"!"
"No, I've signed with them for three seasons!"
“... For the sake of milk powder money, you also fought hard!"
"Don't say anything, touch one!"
Ning Hao took a peanut and chewed it: "Eh, why did I hear Sister Zhong say that you are not optimistic about this year's film market?"
"The market was so hot in the first two years that there must have been a bunch of bad projects rushing to enter the market..."
Why is the market hot in the first two years, and bad projects entering this year?
Of course, it's because of the cyclical nature of the movie!
Ning Hao and Huang Bo are both knowledgeable and nodded...
"Also, the above may have to be rectified and the ticket will be supplemented!"
“... Huh? Why?"
"I can't afford to burn money..."
Belch...
It's mainly a group of people who are playing too high - the impact of the "Ip Man 3" incident is very bad...
Ticket supplement... How to say it.
Some people say that canceling online ticket subsidies can curb bad movies and is conducive to returning to content, how to say this, there must be a good impact in this regard, but the more impact is to make the audience abandon a lot of 'watchable or not' films...
"You can watch it or not" films, but they are not equated with "bad movies".
It doesn't have to be a particularly good movie!
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "Anyway, no matter what, the audience has developed the habit of watching movies, and besides, there is always a market for good movies, this is my opinion!"
Huang Bo got up, gave Lu Xiaoran a glass of wine, and then asked, "Xiaoran, you just keep hanging Xu Zheng?"
“... Why do you mention him again?"
"After all, we came together..."
"This kind of behavior of his person, at least it is called a chicken thief, and at worst, it is forgetting what is righteous, the front foot signed a contract with us, and the back foot does not care about the content of the contract, and throws us off to do it alone..."
"Even if I have no opinion, do you think the board of directors has no opinion?"
“... He just said that the copyright is 25% of the shares, and he has no opinion..."
"He has no opinion, I have to follow him, no opinion?Brother Bo, I'm not alone now, there is an orange image standing behind me, more than 2,000 people, if everyone learns from him, then do I still want to be a company?"
