Since Peng Yichen's lecture at the Film Academy ended, the Chinese film industry has become a mess.

Countless media flocked to those well-known directors in the film industry, and told those well-known directors the content of Peng Yichen's "arrogant" lectures over and over again.

And Cao Heyi of the Huaxia Drama Academy is the focus of reporters' interviews.

Cao Heyi held a special press conference at that time, and the matter of confronting Peng Yichen in Taiwan caused a lot of waves in the entertainment industry.

Now Peng Yichen is worthless to refute your views on Cao Heyi.

You don't want to tear each other apart?

It's a pity that the reporters were closed to Cao Heyi, and the school leaders of the Drama Academy obviously got instructions, and directly gave Cao Heyi, who was jumping up and down in front, an administrative punishment.

Cao Heyi is such a shrewd person, he immediately knows that he has set the tone for the direction of future film development. Peng Yichen's proposal is definitely more in line with the country's ideas and ideas, and if he continues to fight with him, he may not be able to keep his job.

Therefore, in the face of the swarming reporters, he came directly behind closed doors.

He even took a month's leave from the college and hid to travel abroad.

Fortunately, Peng Yichen also offended many directors during the lecture.

The reporters still got some criticism of Peng Yichen from several well-known directors in China.

It's a pity that most directors end up just talking about it, and as soon as the reporters mentioned that Peng Yichen was about to make a science fiction movie, they asked these directors if they dared to make a film to compete with him.

These directors immediately all had all kinds of headaches, brain fever, and stomach aches, and they didn't dare to speak out to reporters anymore.

……

Just when the Chinese entertainment industry was very lively, Peng Yichen had long forgotten about the lecture.

He still has a lot of important things to do now, how can he have time to care about these gossips and discussions.

"Dong Peng, why do you have to cooperate with Hua Na, their requirements are a bit excessive. ”

In Peng Yichen's office, Sun Yizou sat on the sofa opposite the desk and asked with some confusion.

Recently, Chen Jing Film Company has had more contact with Hua Na and 21st Century Fukesi.

The reason why the two companies took the initiative to contact Chen Jing Film Company is simple.

With the Chinese government easing market access restrictions for international co-productions, Hollywood companies must find a partner in mainland China to co-produce films if they want to make money in the rapidly expanding emerging film market.

Because the requirements of the Chinese government are very strict, it blocks the way for Hollywood companies to set up leather bag film companies in China to shoot co-productions.

Therefore, now they can only choose a partner among the existing old film companies in Huaxia.

Compared with large film and television companies such as CCTV and Huimin Film and Television Group, Chen Jing Film Company is undoubtedly a very good partner to work with.

Because of the single business structure, the content of cooperation with Chen Jing Film Company will undoubtedly be much simpler, and there is no need to consider too many factors other than the movie.

In addition, Chen Jing Film Company has Peng Yichen, a phenomenal film director in China in recent years, and relies on Huimin Film and Television Group to have perfect distribution channels in the mainland of China.

So many factors are superimposed, so that Peng Yichen has become the best object of their cooperation in the eyes of the seven major Hollywood film companies.

The reason why only Hua Na and Fokesi have taken the initiative to cooperate is mainly because the shooting plans of several other companies are still being adjusted.

Before the Chinese government's policy was introduced, it was very well kept secret, so that Hollywood companies were not prepared for it.

Hua Na and Fokesi originally had a film plan to co-produce with Heung Kong Film Company because of the past two years.

There is room for funds and personnel, and only the co-production target needs to be changed to Huaxia Mainland Film Company to ensure the smooth start of the project.

That's why I was so anxious to take the initiative to contact Chen Jing Film Company, hoping to reach a co-production intention.

It's a pity that there is only one Chenjing Film Company, and there is only one director who wants to cooperate with Hua Na and Foucault.

Therefore, in the end, Chen Jing Film Company can only choose one of the companies to cooperate.

Through nearly 3 months of contact and negotiation between the three parties.

The conditions given by FOCTUS are:

In the next year, he will co-produce at least one film with Chen Jing Film Company. Peng Yichen's science fiction films planned to be shot will be given priority. Peng Yichen has already provided Hua Na and Fokesi with the sci-fi movie scripts they plan to shoot, and filed them with the Star Flag Country Screenwriters Association in advance, so he is not worried about plagiarism from the other party

The funds for film shooting and post-publicity shall be funded by both parties 50 each;

The film's copyright income and global box office revenue are also equally divided between the two parties.

At the time of the film's release, Chen Jing Film Company was responsible for the publicity and distribution of the film in mainland China, and the publicity and distribution of other film markets in North America and around the world was handled by Fokesi Film Company.

The director and starring role of the film is Peng Yichen, and the opinions of Chen Jing Film Company are given priority in the selection of other actors.

However, the formation of the crew and the filmmakers had to be the sole responsibility of Foucus.

This condition can be said to be very fair, and even some conditions are more favorable to Chen Jing Film Company.

It can be seen that Fokkus attaches great importance to the Chinese mainland film market, and also attaches great importance to Peng Yichen's influence in the Chinese film market.

That's why such good terms of cooperation are given.

……

However, the cooperation method proposed by Hua Na is obviously not as sincere as the conditions of Focos.

In the plan proposed by Hua Na, in terms of investment and sharing, it is basically the same as that proposed by Focus.

The main difference is that Hua Na asks for full rights in the formation of the crew and the selection of actors.

And although Hua Na is very satisfied with the sci-fi movie script provided by Peng Yichen, he does not believe that Peng Yichen, a young director, can shoot a film that has been recognized by the international market, especially the North American market.

Therefore, Hua Na proposed that they could invest no more than $5 million, with Peng Yichen writing the script and directing, to shoot a low-budget film and release it in the Chinese and North American markets.

If the box office revenue of the film in North America can exceed the cost of investment and publicity, Hua Na not only agreed to Peng Yichen to be the director of the co-production film, but also handed over the right to form the crew and the right to choose the actors.

At the same time, he also promised to give Peng Yichen a personal 5 share of the global box office.

In other words, whether it is a low-budget film with a $5 million investment or a sci-fi movie co-produced by both parties, Peng Yichen can personally get a box office share of 5.

And Chen Jing Film Company can still get a 50% revenue share.

Peng Yichen's 5 points are all borne by Hua Na.

But if the North American box office revenue is lower than the cost of film investment, then Peng Yichen will have to withdraw from the filming of the co-production between the two sides and only serve as a consultant to the crew as a screenwriter.

You must know that the directors who can get a share of the box office in Hollywood are all first-line directors. It is almost impossible for a young director like Peng Yichen to get a share of the box office of a movie.

This is equivalent to an alternative gambling agreement, and Peng Yichen may get more benefits as long as he proves his directing ability.

But if it doesn't work, the control and initiative of the film co-produced by the two sides will be taken away by Hua Na.

You must know that in history, there has been only one successful Chinese director in Hollywood and the North American film market for many years.

Countless directors and actors who want to prove themselves in Hollywood have all come back in the end.

Hua Na's distrust of Peng Yichen's directorial ability is not that he is looking for trouble.

But if they agree to Hua Na's request, Peng Yichen and Chen Jing Film Company will have to take a very big risk.

Once Hua Na invested, the low-budget films shot by him did not perform well at the box office after their release in North America.

In the future, Chen Jing Film Company will become very passive in the film cooperation with Hua Na.

It is even likely that in the end, the company will help Hua Na open up the domestic market, but it will not get much benefit.

This is also the reason why Sun Yizou is very opposed to Peng Yichen and Hua Na's cooperation.

Hua Na put forward this condition, making it clear that he just wanted to use the influence of Chen Jing Film Company in China, but he did not want to share his resources with Chen Jing Film Company.

"Lao Sun, although Fokkus is also one of the seven major Hollywood companies, there are also high and low differences between the seven. As a veteran Hollywood film company, Huana has been able to maintain rapid development until the 21st century, which is inseparable from their film promotion channels and profitability around the world. This is something that cannot be compared to Fujis.

If our film wants to enter the film market all over the world in the future, we can't let go of this opportunity to cooperate with Hua Na.

Also, Hua Na has something that I really want, and I have to work with them to get the opportunity to acquire that thing. This is a key opportunity for our company to gain a foothold in the North American and global film market. ”

Hearing Peng Yichen's words, Sun Yizou gradually calmed down.

Peng Yichen lives in a simple house on weekdays, like an otaku who doesn't know much about the outside world.

But his analysis and foresight of the development of the film market is something that Sun Yizou also admires.

Now that he dares to accept Hua Na's conditions, it must have been carefully considered......

Peng Yichen's depth of knowledge in the film market, Sun Yizou knows better than anyone. Therefore, Sun Yizou is willing to believe that Peng Yichen did not make this choice because of a brain fever.

Moreover, he watched Peng Yichen step by step from a small group performance to today's famous Chinese director and famous actor.

He even has a blind trust in Peng Yichen's film works.

After all, as a director and actor who has shot so many movies in a row and has been a great success in each one, Peng Yichen now has the capital to make everyone trust him.

"Okay, now that you've thought it so clearly, I'll reach a cooperation agreement with Hua Na as soon as possible.

The first small-budget film is wholly owned by Hua Na, and we are only responsible for the publicity and release of Hua Na in China. Therefore, the problems of the script and filming still need you to go to the Star Flag Country and the people of Hua Na to discuss specifically. I'll arrange for someone to book you a flight to Los Angeles tomorrow morning. After you get there, Hua Na will have someone to receive you. ”

Now that he has made up his mind to cooperate with Hua Na, Sun Yizou immediately entered his due role and arranged all the work properly.

Peng Yichen also knew that time waits for no one, so he immediately said goodbye to Sun Yizou and returned home to prepare for his luggage to Los Angeles tomorrow.
