Chapter 108: $5 million

PS: The cost was changed to 50 million, and I remembered that the original cost of "Super Body" was only 40 million US dollars, and the widow's salary was already very high at that time.

........

In this era, all domestic films exported to foreign countries were paid for by full copyright, including Zhang Yimou, the national teacher who was in full swing.

In 2004, the overseas box office of domestic films reached 1.2 billion yuan, more than half of that in 2003. , almost 5 times the domestic box office!

However, domestic producers did not get much profit, and most of them were made by overseas distributors.

Whether it is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won 210 million overseas box office, or "Hero", which opened the blockbuster era, it is all in the way of full copyright buyout.

Even with the precedent of the success of "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides", which was released last year, still obtained the overseas rights of the film by means of full copyright buyout.

200 million yuan, which is the final price offered by Colombia.

Even though "Hero" has received $143 million at the box office overseas, Zhang Weiping can only accept this price.

No way, he can't afford to take the risk!

The investment of up to 300 million yuan, the funds borrowed through loans and various ways involve people from all walks of life, forcing Zhang Weiping to choose the most secure way, otherwise once the overseas box office fails, the only way waiting for him is bankruptcy.

Even... Come on stage!

Zhang Yimou's film is still like this, let alone others.

However, if the method of sharing is really adopted, it is not certain how much resources overseas distributors can come up with, and the box office may be far lower than the buyout figure.

Tang An's "Super Body" has an investment of up to 50 million, and the mainland box office needs 150 million to be able to return to its original cost, which is almost the limit of the domestic film market today.

"Myth" starring Cheng Long has been released in China for half a month, and the total box office can only reach 80 million, whether it can break 100 million or not.

Originally, Tang An still planned to package the overseas copyright to Chen Guozhang this time, and with the successful cooperation in the previous two times, it could be sold at a good price compared to this time.

However, last week, Wu Bo brought the visit of the director of the distribution department of a film and television company under Ai Hui Group, which made Tang An a little shaken.

Although the box office of Tang An's first two films in Asian countries cannot be compared with those blockbusters and films starring several superstars in Xiangjiang, they are also very good.

Especially the horror film of the genre "Horror Cruise" has sold well at the box office and videotapes in Japan.

After learning that this is an action sci-fi film, not an imaginary sci-fi horror film, Nippon also gave up the idea of buying it out and proposed to act as an agent for distribution and video rights in Asia.

Tang An also agreed after thinking about it, and the final box office share was positioned at 25%, which was 10 points lower than the share of Hollywood movies.

However, there are too many places where video tape sales can be faked, and Tang An directly asked for a buyout fee of 400,000 US dollars.

The world is so big, Tang An's movie wants to go and see it.

This is also an initial attempt to move out of Asia, although the probability of success is not very high.

Tang An, who is not enough in Europe and the United States, does not dare to choose the mode of sharing, the water is too deep, and he will be drowned.

"7 million US dollars, what does Mr. Chen think?" Tang An reported a number.

"Horror Cruise" is 2.6 million, and "Super Body" directly called out 7 million US dollars, more than tripled, which is still the premise of getting rid of Asian copyrights.

"Director Tang, you're too exaggerated, I don't even know how to bargain!" Chen Guochang smiled bitterly.

7 million!

Hua Yi's "Night Banquet" is still stuck at 10 million, and it has been deadlocked, and such a Chinese science fiction film is 7 million as soon as it opens.

"Mr. Chen, the previous two films have already made Colombia a lot of money, and this price is not exaggerated to be honest!" Tang An said with a smile.

Chen Guochang shook his head, "Director Tang, let's not talk about those fictitious ones, 7 million is impossible, even if I agree, the headquarters will not agree!"

"It is said that the total investment of "Super Body" is less than 7 million US dollars, so let's do it, my personal maximum authority is 5 million, if you agree, you can sign the contract now, or I will report your offer and it will be decided by the headquarters!" he said after a moment of silence.

Well?

Tang An'an moved, looking at Chen Guozhang's expression did not seem to be fake, and he was a little unsure of what he meant.

silently calculated an account in his heart, the buyout fee of 5 million US dollars, equivalent to 40 million yuan, Tang Dao got 20 million, and the cost has been recovered.

It was not far from what he expected.

"That's okay, since Mr. Chen said so, it's 5 million!"

Tang An didn't care what he had in mind, so he agreed.

Tang An, Han Sanping, and Wang Zhongjun have discussed before, and this price is in line with their expectations, and Tang An, as the largest investor, can sign the contract on their behalf.

After signing, Tang An hesitated for a moment and didn't ask, anyway, he signed and stamped.

However, Chen Guochang sighed with emotion, which made Tang An understand a little.

"Director Tang, I don't know if there will be a chance to cooperate here next year!"

Yes, next year Chen Guozhang will leave Colombia to join Huayi!

Could it be that this is already happening?

......

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang An rushed to the studio of Huairou Film and Television Base.

Most of the movie "Super Body" is still an indoor scene, and the filming location is usually placed in the suspected film and television base, which is the industry of China Film, and it is also relatively favorable.

This film doesn't need to be too mysterious, on the day of the launch conference, the makeup photos and posters will be released again, and the warm-up will be warmed up first.

The goal of a box office of 100 million yuan is basically impossible without excellent publicity.

came to the studio, but Tang An didn't see Xu Yanyun, so he called the assistant director Zhang Yiping, "Lao Zhang, where is Mr. Xu?"

"Director Tang!" Zhang Yiping trotted over.

"The Normal University has agreed to borrow a large lecture hall for us to use, and Mr. Xu rushed over just now!"

"Hmm. Tang An nodded.

Originally, the crew planned to find Peking University and Tsinghua University, but they refused to borrow it, and they didn't pay for it, so they found Beijing Normal University in no way.

The college student film festival is held by Beijing Normal University, Optoelectronics, Beijing Satellite TV, etc., which is relatively not so "old-fashioned".

"Are you all ready?" Tang An asked, turning his head.

"They're still putting on makeup, I guess it's going to be soon!" Zhang Yiping replied.

"What about the group performance?"

"It's in place, ready to go!"

"Wait for that promotional video, Lao Zhang, you take a group of people to shoot, and hand over the poster and makeup photos to Lao Shi!" Tang An assigned.

In addition to some posters, two promotional videos will be released on the day of the press conference.

After careful consideration, Tang An chose the heroine Lucy, and finally after the brain was developed to 80%, she had the ability to travel through time and space, and scenes from the ape-man era to modern times flashed around him.

This section of the base special effects department has been working on it half a month ago!

and her face the pursuing gangsters in college, walking forward without changing her face, and every time she walked, there was a clip of a person floating in the air.

In less than 10 seconds!

The heroine's name Tang An didn't change either, anyway, it was set up as a mainlander working in Xiangjiang, and it was not impossible to use an English name.

Of course, the name is also a reason.

What's that, let me preview it first, it's estimated that it will be on the shelves on Friday, and I hope you will support it more, and friends who raise books will also subscribe first!
