Chapter 30: The Producer (part 2 of 6)
Keanu Reeves, after "The Matrix", fell five in a row...
The salary is not high, 3 million can be done, but he takes on the drama very casually, depending on fate...
Forget it, wait a few more years, Dingfeng will produce "Who Killed My Dog, I Will Kill His Whole Family", and then contact him!
“… Is Nicolas Cage broke? Let's look for him!"
Natalie nodded, "Boxer, who are you looking for?"
"Jason Statham!"
“… What about the killer?"
"Jamie Fox, what do you think?"
Natalie estimated the salary and filming period, and then said: "... That's at least more than $60 million!"
“… Is it that expensive?"
"Jamie Fox is an Oscar winner, and his salary starts at 10 million!"
“… No, the production cost must be controlled below $40 million, and I'll discuss it with Wen Ziren!"
Zhang Junsheng has no roots in North America, although there is Natalie Portman, but her popularity is just like that, she is a Jew, a Tianlong person in the United States, and the range of friends is not very broad...
……
The time has entered the middle of September, and there are already a hint of signs of war in the National Day file...
"The King of Kung Fu" vs. "Painted Skin"...
The former has two kings of kung fu, as well as Liu Yifei, the most popular little flower!
The latter only has Brother Xun plus Li Yuanyuan and Nie Yuan, all mainland actors...
The former has a production of up to 70 million US dollars, and the latter is less than 80 million yuan...
No matter how you look at it, it's not a grade!
Of course, Yuehua itself already has a "A Chinese Ghost Story" taken from "Liao Zhai", and there is a part of the successful experience that can be learned, plus Zhou Xing...
It's not like I don't have the strength to fight...
Hehe, there is a Mao fighting force, and Dongyang Media directly proposed to protect five and fight for eight!
In other words, their expectations for the box office are a minimum of 500 million!
How dare you think!
And Brother Xun's brokerage contract is still in Dongyang Media!
The Film Bureau wants to release the two movies separately, but last year, when "Painted Skin" started filming, it was already said that "Painted Skin" was scheduled for September 28, and "The King of Kung Fu" belonged to the latecomers, and it was a temporary schedule!
Dongyang Media made it clear that it was playing unequal PK!
"I can't lose the National Day file, in this way, I will contact several theaters, and we will release it at the same time in the mainland of North America, and also, the midnight file will be moved, and the box office will be bought on the first day... 8 million!"
“… But that's Fang Shilong plus Li Lianjie!"
Two kings of kung fu join forces...
"Hack them!"
"No, you asked An Yugang to answer the phone!"
Tang Ningyu was probably a little flustered, and he even forgot the most basic means of competition...
"Li Lianjie is not Chinese anymore, he caught the nationality to give me the death black, as for the house dragon... I know Fang Zu's name, you find someone to shake this thing out!"
I don't care if it will affect the course of history, the prince of Fang absorbs the degree, the son is not the fault of the godfather, and he must pull the Fang Shilong into the water...
“… Also, the Huang family brothers have been eye-to-eyeing with Long Qiuyun recently, Old Tang, do you know what to do?"
"Long Qiuyun?"
"Yes, pull them to our ships!"
"Roger!"
TV and radio media, the full name is Hu* South TV and Radio Media Co., Ltd., Mango Satellite TV is its TV station, not only that, the seven major media of Mango TV are all under the umbrella of TV and radio media!
Recognized as "China's No. 1 Media Stock"!
The original time and space, Huayi can be listed, thanks to the support of Zhejiang * Jiang Film and Television, "Assembly Number", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "Tangshan Earthquake", "1942" The main control investment is Zhejiang * Jiang Film and Television...
Of course,Yuehua has reached a strategic cooperation intention with Zhejiang*Jiang Film and Television、Media and Radio Group (East*Fang Satellite TV),Originally,TV and radio media and Yuehua are also in the same line,Last month,Mango TV was established,Compete with Yuehua video in business...
At this time, Dongyang Media took the initiative to surrender...
……
""Painted Skin" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" both funded "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", there is no reason why "A Chinese Ghost Story" is popular, and "Painted Skin" can't be sold!"
“… How much money are you going to invest in publicity?"
"$6 million!"
“… Too little!"
Wen Ziren shook his head: "Before the release of "Twilight", we invested 20 million in publicity!"
“… That's because "Twilight" has a mass base, "Painted Skin"..."
Zhang Junsheng stopped talking, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be regarded as laying a good foundation, but...
The original time and space, "Painted Skin" grossed $6 million at the North American box office...
You asked Zhang Junsheng to spend 20 million to smash publicity, he was a little reluctant.
"Only when the box office is good, can the peripheral benefits go up!"
Commercial films, box office is king!
No matter how good the reputation is, it is useless.
"The Shaw Shengke's Redemption" will take ten years for Mao to become profitable?
Isn't it just a bad box office...
If the box office is not good, the TV rights will not be sold, and the DVD rental will not be much better...
"You can do it..."
Zhang Junsheng sighed.
Although he is already a son of the plane, he still can't change the childish spirit in his bones.
If you lose, you will lose, $20 million, and you can't afford to lose!
"Twilight" is a movie, and it earned at least 300 million at the peak!
Wen Ziren nodded, and then changed the subject: "...How is the casting of "Vulgar" going?"
"Not good... I want to use celebrities who have become famous, but their salaries are too expensive!"
"Do you know the CAA?"
"You know... Aren't you the contracted director of CAA?"
"If, I mean, you're willing to report the Vulgar project to the CAA, they're going to take a package approach and help you with the casting problem!"
There's a Hollywood saying, "If you can figure out how to get your hands on Brian Lorde's phone address book, you can do anything." ”
Of course, this is an exaggeration, there are too many things that Hollywood agents can't handle, but it also reflects Brian Lorde's status in the CAA and even in the entertainment agency world.
CAA has high-quality customer resources in its hands, and cooperating with CAA can save a lot of trouble, if "Vulgar" is packaged to CAA, at least in terms of actor casting, there is no need for Zhang Junsheng to worry about it...
"Forget it, I don't have much affection for CAA, it's better to go to Harvey to cooperate with them!"
Wen Ziren's eyes lit up: "Harvey Weinstein?"
“… yes, he loves Crazy Stone, and if I give him the Vulgar project, he'll be interested..."
"He's a good PR player for the Oscars, if..."
"Forget it, I've heard this guy is greedy..."
For a moment, Zhang Junsheng was very moved, but after thinking about Harvey's fate, he still dispelled his thoughts...
It's not that he's worried that profits will be eroded, but he's a type of person in a sense with Harvey, and he's worried that he won't be able to withstand the sugar-coated shells of capitalism, and that it would be miserable if he fell into the red couch deal with him...
Out of the window...
Wen Ziren thought for a while and proposed, "I'll introduce you to a producer!"
"Who?"
"Mike Madavoy!"
