Among the people Xiao Yao knows in the United States, most of them are singers, actors, and models, and the senior management of fashion companies knows some because of Chen Xuan and the identity of the photographer, but Xiao Yao really doesn't know a few of the senior executives of film companies and distribution companies, so he thinks of asking Mu Ying to help introduce and contact. But in practice, Xiao Yao found that this matter was far less difficult than he thought.

Not counting the film currently being filmed, Mu Ying has only made two feature films as a director, both of which are small-budget and small-scale productions, and the others are either short films such as BMW advertising films or assisting the director as an assistant director in the crew, and in general, he is still a rookie director in Hollywood. Although he did know many film company managers, he was not very famous, and he did not have much relationship with the top management of film companies.

After Xiao Yao told Mu Ying about Tong Luo and Fang still coming to the United States to sell films, Mu Ying agreed to Xiao Yao's help to contact the American film company, but he also stated that he was only an intermediary to introduce him, and he could not guarantee how much role he would play in it.

However, in this matter, in fact, Mu Ying does not need to play much of a role in the middle.

The United States does not have a quota system for imported films like China, and there is no quantitative limit when importing foreign films. "Wall-E" won more than 2.1 billion at the box office in China, and more than 300 million in US dollars. This box office is also quite considerable in the United States, businessmen are profit-seeking, and American film companies will naturally not turn a blind eye to this "fragrant bun".

Of course, due to different countries, different markets, and different cultures, it does not mean that a movie that hits the local box office will definitely achieve a good box office after it arrives in the United States, but the movie "Wall-E" is different, and most people who have really seen this movie are also very optimistic about the box office of this movie in the United States.

In a movie, the appeal of the stars in the film is an important factor affecting the box office. However, the appeal of stars in different countries and regions is different, even some well-known Chinese stars in the United States have a completely different box office appeal in the United States and in China. However, "Wall-E" is an animated film, and the lack of live-action performances shows that the film achieved such a high box office in China because it was not piled up by fans of the stars who appeared in the movie. In the first place, possible discrepancies in this regard are avoided.

Let's look at the content of the movie "Wall-E" itself. The scene is space and the earth, and the earth and human beings in the movie are as a whole, in which no country appears, and there are no sensitive issues such as ZZ or race, and the theme is about environmental protection and love, two common themes around the world. In this respect, there should be no difference in the acceptance of the two audiences in this regard, and perhaps even the American audience is even more receptive to the point of "robot love".

Finally, there is the quality of the film. Although it is a 2D animated film, the characters, scenes, color tones, artwork, lines, special effects, and soundtrack in the movie are all of a very high standard. Even in a Hollywood 2D animated movie, it is a rare masterpiece.

The release of this movie in China is basically over, and after the box office results of more than 2 billion came out, some well-informed American film companies knew about the film and became interested in this animated film.

Before Tong Luo and Fang still came to the United States to visit the class, some American film companies had already taken the initiative to contact them and expressed their intention to cooperate in the distribution and release in the United States, but Tong Luo wanted to come to the United States to bring Xiao Yao to talk with him, and he did not express his position easily.

Tong Luo and Xiao Yao want to sell the film and let the animated film be released in the United States, and the American film company wants to buy tickets and also want the animated film to be released in the United States, in fact, both parties have the intention of cooperation in this regard. It's just that Tong Luo's small special effects company has never cooperated with an American company, and Xiao Yao has never had much contact with an American film company, and both sides are very unfamiliar, so it is inevitable that he has some scruples. With Mu Ying as a middleman, it is easier for the two sides to communicate.

There are many film companies in the United States, and there is more than one company that wants to represent or buy the rights of this animated film in the United States, and it is natural that Xiao Yao and Tong Luo are in the seller's market. Since it was a seller's market, Xiao Yao and Tong Luo naturally took the initiative. In addition to allowing the other party to discuss Xiao Yao, who needs to be filmed in the crew, at night, Xiao Yao and Tong Luo can also strive for some better conditions.

When film companies introduce finished films, they generally have two forms: buyout and account sharing. For a person like Xiao Yao who wants to share the songs, he will definitely not choose to buy out the movie copyright, but will share the account. For film companies, it is definitely more convenient and cost-effective to buy out this kind of one-shot deal. The differences between the two sides in this regard have also led to the fact that the negotiations on this matter will not be too easy.

Xiao Yao: They are a seller's market, and when the other party has competitors, Xiao Yao, who insists on the form of account sharing, finally reached an agreement with a film company in the United States. It's just that Xiao Yao also made some concessions appropriately, and promised that the issuing company would cooperate with some related publicity activities.

Celebrity publicity is a very important way to publicize. Although this is an animated film, there are also stars that can be promoted.

During the publicity period before the release of this movie in China, the stars who ran the promotion were Xiao Yao, He Ying and Huang Shi. He Ying and Huang Shi are almost unknown among the non-Chinese community in the United States, and they are not celebrities, so naturally they do not need to come to the United States for publicity. But Xiao Yao has made a lot of popular events in the United States, and his popularity is not small, even as the film's director, screenwriter, producer, dubbing, soundtrack, and behind-the-scenes identity, he is also a very good publicity point, and adding these identities together, he is even more topical and interesting than a star actor in a live-action movie, and the American film company that got the distribution copyright will definitely not let it go.

Xiao Yao and Mu Ying planned to shoot the parkour movie for two months. The people who came to the United States from China came to visit the group in the fourth week of filming, and there will be more than a month of filming to follow, so it is obviously impossible for these people to stay in the United States until the end of filming.

Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting's parents returned to China after only three days in the United States, along with Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli, a pair of friends who lived in a hotel. Zhu Zitong and Sun Tingting, the two girls who did not have to stay in a hotel, and the two girls who lived with their boyfriends in the hotel stayed in the United States for a whole week.

However, Zhu Zitong and Sun Tingting are not the ones who have been in the United States for the longest time among the people who came to visit the class. The people who have been with Xiao Yao in the United States for the longest time are Tong Luo and Fang Yi, who came on business, as well as some business people in Tong Luo's company, who stayed here for almost three full weeks, only half a month earlier than Xiao Yao's film crew.

Tong Luo and Fang still stay in the United States for a long time, of course, because of the overseas distribution of the animated film "Vali". After negotiating the release with the film companies in the United States, Xiao Yao accompanied them to discuss the distribution and release with the film distribution companies of several European countries.

Since Hollywood is the world's largest film producer and exporter, many European film companies also have branches or offices in Hollywood, and American film companies are relatively closer to European film companies. When selling the rights to release films in Europe, Xiao Yao, who was filming in the United States, would definitely not fly to Europe, but invited those interested European film companies to send people to the United States for negotiations.

In addition to the rights to distribute and release films in Europe and the United States, Xiao Yao and others also reached an agreement with one of the largest online film rental companies in North America to sell the rights to the overseas online broadcast of "Wall-E" and the DVD rental and sale business. Since the business scope of this giant company covers more than 100 countries around the world, Xiao Yao did not cooperate with other European companies, and gave them only the copyright in the sale and rental of Internet broadcasts and DVDs outside of China. Of course, since it is exclusive, the conditions in this regard will naturally be better.

The launch of online broadcasting must be set after the movie is released. Although the movie in China has been released, it has not yet been released in the United States, and the overseas online broadcast must wait for the movies in the United States and Europe to be released.

The United States and European countries also have film censorship systems, but compared to China, film censorship in these countries is more about grading films. This animated movie doesn't have any problematic lines or shots, and the rating must be G for everyone to watch, but this process still has to be repeated.

The film must be submitted for review and classification, and before the release, it is necessary to make preparations and publicity work in terms of publicity, organize a theater viewing meeting, and strive for a series of things such as scheduling the film, so after negotiating the copyright of the film, the film will not be released overseas immediately. American film companies are expected to release in the United States in October, and Europe is expected to be around that time.

The movie is expected to be released in October, and it has not yet reached the publicity period, and the producer has no task for the time being, and Tong Luo and Fang are still returning to China.

After handling the copyright of the animated film, Xiao Yao can concentrate on parkour movies.

After Tong Luo and Fang still returned to China, the crew took another two weeks to finish filming. During these two weeks, the crew usually has one day off a week. And during the holidays, Xiao Yao was not idle as usual.

Xiao Yao asked Keith Craig to help him organize a MV filming crew, and used the two-day vacation to pull the members of the band "Immortals" to shoot some shots needed for the song MV. Since the final MV is to edit the footage of the band members and some scenes from the movie together, after these shots are completed, the band members will not be able to see the finished MV effect, so they can only wait for the movie to be filmed.

However, the band members didn't have to wait long, because four days after their music video shooting, the parkour movie was also finished.

The end of filming does not mean that the film is complete, and there is a series of post-production work to be done later, such as editing and soundtrack. However, these post-production jobs are the work of directors, editors, soundtrack musicians and others, so there is no need for these current crew members.

In some films, the crew is reconvened for various reasons during post-production. Since Xiao Yao and Mu Ying would go through the day's shooting materials after filming every day, the two felt that there was definitely no need for post-reshooting, so after the movie was completed, Xiao Yao returned to China with Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting.

By this time, it was already September, and the schools had already opened. Xiao Yao, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting, the three seniors, had asked for leave in advance, and had not yet gone to the school to report, and were ready to go back to school to report and cancel the leave, while Zhao Rui stayed in the United States to participate in the post-production of the film with Mu Ying.

The director also has to participate in the editing and soundtrack in the later stage, and he must play a very important leading role in it. Mu Ying and Xiao Yao, the two directors, are compared, Mu Ying's strength is the control between action scenes and movie camera switching, and Xiao Yao's strength is in plot design, character performance and music. So in terms of post-production, although both of them are involved, there is also a certain lateral division of labor. In terms of editing, Mu Ying's control is the mainstay, and the soundtrack is based on Xiao Yao's opinions.

The film's editors and soundtrack are hired from the United States, and the post-production location is of course also in the United States. Xiao Yao didn't see each other every day after returning to China, and it was definitely not possible to only communicate with the editor and soundtrack through the Internet, but because of Mu Ying's existence, Xiao Yao could understand the progress and results of post-production through Mu Ying, discuss post-production matters with Mu Ying, and then give the opinions discussed by the two to the editor and soundtrack through Mu Ying, which is barely feasible.

As an explanation to crowdfunding netizens, the official website of the parkour movie will update the production progress of the movie in real time. After the filming ended, the official website of the movie not only updated the production progress of the film, announced the completion of the movie, but also randomly selected some shooting materials as the film and put them on the official website, which was a reassuring pill for those netizens who participated in crowdfunding.

However, the time between the end of filming and the release of a movie is long or short, which is not necessarily, so there is no release date for the movie on the official website.

The filming time of the crew is relatively tight, because the filming location of this movie is in Los Angeles, and a few students such as Xiao Yao will come to the United States to shoot during the summer vacation. There is no expected release date for netizens on the official website, so there is no need to rush so much in post-production, and you can grind it slowly. This is also an important reason why Xiao Yao dared to go back to China and use the Internet and Mu Ying as a medium to participate in post-production remotely.
