Today is the 27th of the lunar month, and it will be the Spring Festival in two days.

A year has passed, and a lot of things are waiting for Tang An to deal with and wrap up, and Tang An will return to China this afternoon.

There is nothing to worry about here in the United States, there is 20th Century Fox, and it is not a heavyweight schedule such as summer and Thanksgiving, and there are basically no super blockbusters released.

As for the movies to be released in the next two weeks, Legend of the Night 4, Man-Wolf War, Super Runaway, and Woman in Black, none of them can break 100 million, most of them are around 50 or 60 million, which is not an opponent.

In terms of publicity, Fox also did his best, and the big sales of the movie also drove the hot sales of the original book, and the sales on Amazon e-book sales were gratifying.

Moreover, the publishing house that originally bought the copyright of the physical book is already doing market evaluation and preparing to start publishing.

Everything is going for the better, except for some neuropathy.

It turns out that every country has a brain, and adapting your country is like robbing your family of money.

Fortunately, it's not very famous now, and there aren't many nitpicky original parties.

However, there are also people with rhythm, and those who don't know think that Tang An is a foreigner who ruined some of their classic works.

At noon today, before leaving, Fox held a banquet for Tang An, which was regarded as seeing him off.

Before the banquet, Tang An was interviewed by a local reporter and was asked a similar question.

"When I chose to adapt the Martian, I liked the rigor of the plot and story, which is very rigorous, and at the same time, the plot does not tell some big truths throughout, but it is full of fun......"

"I don't think the adaptation of this is any so-called "bandit" and "invasion", Disney also adapted my country's famous folk tale Mulan, as long as it is filmed, it is a respect for the story and itself. ”

"I think the adaptation has been a success, and the box office data in dozens of countries around the world is enough to prove that the current Martian market in North America is very popular, and the audience response is very good. ”

......

It's a big deal, and I didn't sleep with their goddesses.

If Tang An took down the Chinese rights of Harry Potter and Star Wars movies and remade them into Chinese movies, then the people of the United States would not have to kill him.

Entering the banquet site, Wendy Deng, who had been busy all this time, finally appeared.

"Hello Ms. Deng, The Martian is really thanks to you. ”

She didn't worry much about the promotion of this movie, and Tang An really had to thank her.

However, no matter how much she did at Fox, it was in vain, and once she didn't have Murdoch's wife, she couldn't interfere with Fox anymore.

"Director Tang is polite, cooperate with each other, and your movie is also good. ”

Wendy Deng and Tang An had a drink and took him around to meet some people.

There are executives of film companies, producers, directors, actors, everything.

Elizabeth, the global vice president of Columbia, came up and said with a little regret, "Congratulations to Mr. Tang, but it's a pity that we couldn't cooperate this time." ”

Tang An smiled, "Lady Elizabeth, there will be opportunities to work together in the future." ”

"We've always wanted to work with Mr. Tang, I wonder what Mr. Tang has in mind for the next movie?"

She asked very directly, regardless of Wendy Dun being next to her.

The Martian was rejected by the Colombian hierarchy, and the conditions of 20th Century Fox were too good for them to match.

If it's as big as the edge of tomorrow, I'll definitely accept it, but the Martian is completely the actor's personal performance, and most of the whole scene is on Mars, there are no wonderful special effects, all static special effects.

After all these considerations, Colombia gave up.

Tang An shook his head and said, "I don't have any plans yet, I need to rest for a while." ”

Wendy Deng next to him frowned without a trace, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and chuckled, "Colombia is short-sighted and doesn't trust Director Tang at all, what else is there to cooperate with." ”

Elizabeth was not annoyed in the face of this woman who was about the same age as herself, and said with a smile, "Not all the top management of Fox are optimistic about Mr. Tang's movie, and there are some people inside who are attacking each other, this kind of thing cannot happen in Colombia, as long as Mr. Tang cooperates with us, the whole company will support your movie." ”

Although Tang An's movie box office is less than 100 million US dollars, it can't be compared with Hollywood blockbusters.

However, the distribution fee earns 10 million US dollars, and other physical media copyrights, network copyrights, TV copyrights, etc. can earn a lot.

Don't look at these two or three hundred million dollars, compared with the global box office of some Hollywood blockbusters, six or seven billion, it is also a huge profit for several giants.

The two women were-for-tat in their words, they made money here in Tang An this year, and naturally they didn't want to miss it next year.

Also wanting to cooperate is Jason Constantine, the purchasing and production chairman of Lions Pictures, who came to China at the beginning of his tenure to win the distribution rights of the Shocking Demon Thieves, allowing the Lions to make a small profit.

These three have all worked together in the past, and executives from first- and second-tier Hollywood companies such as Sony Classic, Warner, and Paramount have come and more or less put forward their intention to cooperate.

After a round of coping, Tang An and Wendy Deng came to a small conference room in the hotel to discuss the various royalties of The Martian around the world.

Wendy Deng needs results, she wants not only the copyright of the Internet, TV, and physical media in North America, but also the copyright of all markets including Europe and Asia, in addition to China.

Tang An is no problem, as long as the price is fair.

"Tang Dong, the Martian's performance in the overseas market is a little better than that of Tomorrow's edge, so I am willing to give a high price of 23 million US dollars for other overseas copyrights, what do you think?"

Wendy Deng gave a number, and the assistant next to him also handed over the contract.

Zhang Yi reviewed the contract with a colleague from the legal department, and Tang An shook his head with a smile.

"Ms. Deng, the North American box office of Tomorrow's Edge is more than 50 million, and some box office agencies estimate that the Martian is about 90 million, and the original book is also preparing to be published, which will definitely drive the income of videotapes, online videos, and TV on-demand. ”

"25 million, which is more than the production cost of the movie. ”

Tang An smiled and shook his head, "The profits it can create are far more than that, and the cost of the items in the luxury store is not worth the price." ”

"26 million. ”

"The Martian is far more popular in the videotape market than Edge of Tomorrow. ”

Tang An handed over a copy of the statistics.

Wendy Deng was not angry, and asked with a smile, "How much does Tang Dong think is appropriate?"

"30 million. ”

"Okay, deal. Wendy Deng agreed after a little thought.

The price negotiation went very smoothly, Wendy Deng needed results, and Tang An did not open his mouth too much.

$30 million in various royalties, 11 million more than the 19 million on Edge of Tomorrow.

It is equivalent to 200 million yuan, and the production cost and publicity cost are only 240 million.

With a domestic box office of more than 1.4 billion yuan and at least $150 million overseas, this movie can bring him at least more than 1.1 billion yuan.

It will also be the most profitable of these movies made by Tang An.

The contract was quickly reviewed, and Wendy Deng was relieved after signing the contract.

"Tang Dong, I am looking forward to your next movie, and I hope to continue to cooperate. ”

"Happy working together!"

ps: There are only two shifts today, and I've been thinking about the next movie all night, which was originally conceived, but then I thought it wouldn't work and overturned it.

A few days ago, I thought about the original one again, and I watched it again, but today I still don't think it's good.

The time period has reached 12 years, and there is no overhead, and there are not many films that can be used.

Hollywood doesn't have a few original movies that you can watch every year, either superheroes or series.

In the case of domestic movies, there is nothing to copy.

However, after sorting out the ideas of one night, the follow-up four or five movies have been completed, and the box office reputation is good, and it has not reached the level of rotten streets, so there should be no mistakes.

At least I can write 2 million words, so I won't be unable to write

Good night everyone.
