Chapter 679 is not expensive at all
Wu Wenlong was even more dissatisfied with the success of "Changing Face", which made his previous behavior of de-'Yao Ding' become a clown.
In particular, Wu Wenlong was dissatisfied with Lin Xiao taking too much in "Changing Face", and it was no secret that he wanted to renegotiate conditions with Lin Xiao many times but was refused.
But the result was a huge success for "Changing Face".
After being released in China for a month, it won a box office of 1.5 billion, and the box office in North America also successfully exceeded 100 million, and the global box office was also popular all the way.
The total global box office is likely to exceed $600 million.
It can be said that even if it is a profit sharing for Lin Xiao, Tianhua still earns it.
In this way, Wu Wenlong's previous behaviors have become clown-like behaviors in the eyes of people.
And the success of "Changing Face" also gave Tianhua's board of directors a taste of high returns after the success of blockbusters, and naturally had some dissatisfaction with Wu Wenlong's previous plan to reduce investment in blockbusters and switch to small and medium-budget films.
Of course, the biggest dissatisfaction comes from the fact that Wu Wenlong's behavior caused a rift in the cooperation between Tianhua and Lin Xiao.
In fact, the success of "Changing Face" has more than that, "Kung Fu Panda" is the exception, animated films, although they are successful, but the investment risk is actually greater than that of live-action movies.
Many domestic film and television giants have cooperative relations with Hollywood film and television companies, they don't want to engage in co-production, everyone knows that if the co-production is successful, it will not only earn Chinese dollars, but also US dollars.
And the key is the co-production, which is jointly funded by both parties, sharing the risks and being able to enter the foreign market, which is what the bigwigs in the Chinese film and television industry have always wanted to do.
Yes, "Changing Face" Lin Xiao is indeed a huge profit from it, before this, no one didn't think Tianhua was stupid, Yao Ding was stupid, especially if it was just a screenwriter, he actually offered such a high price, but after the success of "Changing Face", Yao Ding's sky-high script fee at the beginning became a reflection of his unique vision and courage in Tianhua.
Because although Lin Xiao took a lot of "Changing Face", Tianhua actually made a lot of money.
The video copyright of "Changing Face" alone, and the broadcast rights of North American TV stations alone allowed Tianhua to recover most of the investment.
In terms of box office, Tianhua has already achieved profitability.
"Kung Fu Panda" + "Changing Face" succeeded one after another, which made Lin Xiao's body once again bring a halo.
People offer high prices, that's because they have that ability.
After the box office of "Changing Face" was released on the first day, Ahri, Xuanhuang, ECCOM and others were tempted.
I'm not afraid that you will offer a high price, but I am afraid that you will not cooperate.
Money, Ahri and ECCOM, Xuanhuang, etc., are really not bad for money.
No, it was originally a celebration banquet for "Changing Face" held by Tianhua, but as a result, people from film giants such as Ahri, ECCOM, Dadi, and Xuanhuang came.
As the host, Wu Wenhua did not welcome them, but he still had to have a smile on his face.
However, these people did not come for Tianhua, but for Lin Xiao.
No, as soon as Lin Xiao and Yao Ding appeared, Shi Zhipeng of Ahri Pictures, Yan Wei of ECCOM Pictures, Li Xuan of Xuanhuang, and Zhou Houmin of Dadi Pictures all lit up.
Yes, they came for Lin Xiao.
Ahri and ECCOM are not to mention, they are originally the two major wrongdoers in the film industry, and they are tied with Tianhua.
I have money, but I always pay for my tuition.
But I never thought that Tianhua won the first place, with a global box office of more than 600 million US dollars, even if Lin Xiao took a bite of the fattest meat, it still made Tianhua no longer like before, shooting and smashing. Earn more.
"Mr. Lin, ECCOM is also a shareholder of Lingxiao Pavilion, you can't favor one over the other. ECCOM's Yan Wei walked faster, and was the first to come to Lin Xiao and said with a smile.
"Where did Mr. Yan start with this? When did I favor one over the other? Lingxiao Pavilion will not pay dividends in the next few years, it is for the better development of the company. Lin Xiao started Tai Chi and directly turned the conversation to the development of the company.
"Mr. Lin, you misunderstood, ECCOM's plan of not paying dividends within three years is 100% supportive, I mean, Mr. Lin, if Mr. Lin has any new ideas, you can consider our ECCOM. Yan Wei said with a smile.
"Yes, and our Ahri, Mr. Lin can't favor one over the other. Shi Zhipeng was one step behind Yan Wei, and when he heard Yan Wei's words as soon as he walked over, he couldn't help but interject directly.
It's just that this sentence, why does it sound so familiar?
Ahri and ECCOM, the two Internet giants, are really not bad for money, but the two film companies of ECCOM and Ahri are really embarrassed, and they have been paying tuition in the past few years, just like Tianhua.
has been cheated a lot, and there are even good deeds Cheng Tianhua, Ahri, and ECCOM are the three fools in the film industry.
Where do they put their faces?
In fact, several giants in Huaguo, although they are not as good as ECCOM, Tianhua, and Ahri, but they are also rich in capital, because they are all old film and television giants, all of them are listed companies, although they are not as good as the parent companies of the other party, but they are also tens of billions of market capitalization.
But whether it is Xuanhuang, the earth, or Tianxing, although people also make money and lose, but on the whole, they still make money, unlike the three of them, basically the annual financial reports are red.
At this time, the host, Wu Wenlong, also hurriedly walked over.
Just kidding, although he was dissatisfied with Lin Xiao before, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, it was impossible for him to really give up continuing to cooperate with Lin Xiao and Ling Xiao Pavilion, in front of interests, some personal perceptions were really not so important.
Shi Zhipeng, who was on the side, saw Wu Wenlong's figure out of the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then said: "Although Mr. Lin can rest assured, in terms of cooperation conditions, our Ahri will definitely be the best, I think the way of "Changing Face" is good, we Ahri are not like some people, who only want to make money themselves, but refuse to share the profits. ”
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Shi Zhipeng when they heard this, and then they all noticed Wu Wenlong, whose face had just become extremely ugly.
"You get what you pay for, as long as the project is good and the terms of cooperation can be negotiable. Yan Wei also echoed, all of them were nailing Wu Wenlong.
Who let Wu Wenlong make a stupid move before?
"Mr. Lin, it turns out that you are here, and today you are also the protagonist. I said, Mr. Yan, Mr. Shi, it's not kind for you to do this. Wu Wenlong quickly adjusted and said to Lin Xiao with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, Mr. Wu, I heard that Mr. Wu was very dissatisfied with the price of the script of "Changing Face" before, in that case, why not give the opportunity to cooperate to those of us who think it is worth the money?" Yan Wei said with a smile.
Wu Wenlong's face suddenly became ugly.
He didn't expect Yan Wei to embarrass himself directly in person.
Looking at Lin Xiao again, he was still smiling, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.
