"Ambush on All Sides" brings together many big-name actors in the Chinese-speaking circle, such as Jin Handsome Guy, such as Liu Tianwang. However, these people are a little famous within the Chinese-speaking circle, and they are really not well-known when they go out of that circle.

When it comes to Europe and the United States, the really decent ones are Lao Mouzi and the International Chapter.

This can be seen from the international version of the promotional poster.

In the poster, the center is the international chapter, and the other two male protagonists can only serve as a background board for changing corners.

It's just that this Miss Zhang, why is it a bit aimed at Tang En?

It's as if Don had slept with her, lifted his pants and walked away, turning his face and not recognizing anyone.

Director Zhang also noticed that her tone was wrong, so he quickly explained: "When I was in Cannes, I met Harvey, and I talked about the North American copyright of "Ambush on All Sides". ”

Tang En looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Director Zhang, didn't I tell you, he's a liar!"

That year, Harvey Weinstein bought the North American rights to "Heroes" for only $3 million. Then, "Hero" became Miramax's money-absorbing weapon.

The box office market accounted for $25 million, and the DVD/videotape market sold another $20 million, plus cable broadcasts and subscriptions to on-demand on various platforms...... A "Hero" that created a fortune of $50 million for Miramax.

The company that worked hard to make a new picture of the film only got a buyout fee of $3 million......

Director Zhang hurriedly said: "This time is different, he offered a buyout fee of $15 million!"

"Oh? That's not bad. ”

Don blinked and bowed slightly.

$15 million is not a small amount.

"Ambush on All Sides" is much worse than "Hero", although the reputation in North America has always been good, and it was even selected as one of the top ten movies of the year by Time Magazine. However, the box office figures speak for themselves.

"Ambush on All Sides" grossed only $11 million at the North American box office.

Counting the sales of discs and peripheral copyrights, the value that "Ambush on All Sides" can create in North America is about 15 million US dollars.

It is very cost-effective to sell the North American rights at this price.

"Since it's been sold, you guys are ...... today"

"But something happened to Harvey Weinstein!"

Miss Zhang's words suddenly made Tang En suddenly realize.

It turns out that this is the reason!

After Cannes, Donn immediately made a move, using powerful media power to directly take down Harvey Weinstein. Miramax also suspended all the projects he was talking about, and went all out to get rid of Harvey Weinstein's residual poison, and even his team went to Warner with Dygate Pictures.

The project that was originally negotiated naturally fell through.

In the previous life, it was actually similar.

After Cannes, Harvey Weinstein's ambitions were undoubtedly revealed, and he and Michael Eisner broke out again in a fierce conflict, insisting on releasing "Fahrenheit 911".

Michael Eisner could only imprison Harvey Weinstein's power in Miramax and put the termination plan on the agenda.

lost power, what Harvey Weinstein promised to do, naturally he couldn't do it, and he became a "liar".

Fortunately, Lao Mouzi's fame is really loud, and producer Jiang Zhiqiang has a very good relationship with Sony Classics, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had a very pleasant cooperation back then.

"Ambush on All Sides" was sold to Sony Classics for $15 million, and Sony Pictures was responsible for distribution.

However...... The Sony Pictures of this life is not the Sony Pictures of the previous life.

Spending $15 million to buy out the North American distribution rights of a film is too risky! Not to mention that Sony Classic is just a very inconspicuous small independent film company under Sony Pictures, even Sony Pictures is difficult to come up with such a large sum of money now!

"Ahem......"

Tang En finally understood the meaning of Miss Zhang's resentful little eyes, and dared to rely on himself? He said: "Even if Miramax cancels the cooperation, there are so many independent filmmakers in the United States, and they will not collectively refuse, right?" Director Zhang, your film ...... It's very popular in the United States, especially in the video rental market. If I'm not mistaken, Netflix alone, Heroes has been borrowed more than 700,000 times. ”

"We were approached by a few independent studios, but their prices were ...... The highest opened at $8 million. ”

Director Zhang shook his head.

has passed the unjust behavior of "Hero", and he knows how to fight for the greatest benefits.

Take a look at the Tribeca Film Festival and introduce "Ambush on All Sides" to every American studio.

The highest price wins!

Miss Zhang suddenly popped out again, "Focus Pictures only offered $5 million, and it can be killed!"

Focus Pictures is an independent film company owned by New Universal.

Don had a black line in his head.

Your sister!

In terms of the quality of "Ambush on All Sides", $8 million is more, and $5 million is just right!

"Ambush on All Sides" in North America, a total of 15 million US dollars can be created, it is impossible to give all the profits to the producer, right?

How can there be such a good thing!

Harvey Weinstein was able to offer a sky-high $15 million buyout because he was carried away by the victory in "Heroes".

In the previous life, after the release of "Ambush on All Sides", the North American box office was only $11 million, which calmed Harvey Weinstein at once.

Originally, Harvey Weinstein also agreed with another Chinese director, Kaige Chen, to buy out the North American rights of "Wu Ji" for $5 million. As a result, the box office failure of "Ambush on All Sides" poured cold water on him, knowing that the American audience was tired of China's mysterious and mysterious martial arts, so he could only act as a liar again and refused to buy out "Wuji".

Anyway, "Ambush on All Sides" didn't sell for a high price, whether it was Miramax or a Sony classic...... There's a reason for Don behind it.

Moreover, "Ambush on All Sides" encountered difficulties in distribution, and Tang En always felt that he had to help somewhat, otherwise, he would not be able to pass the psychological hurdle.

He really hasn't made any contribution to Chinese films, so it's a little bit to help!

"So, I booked a suite on the top floor, let's go over and talk about it, there are too many people here. ”

Donne's current location is the Fuquet Hotel in the Tribeca District, a 100-year-old and celebrity-rich restaurant that is the main organizer of the Tribeca Film Festival.

Director Zhang couldn't help but be stunned.

Too many people?

Going to the penthouse suite?

His mind flashed, and he reacted instantly, glanced at Miss Zhang hesitantly, and asked tentatively: "Ziyi, why don't you accompany Director Walker...... Let's talk?"

Miss Zhang's face was slightly red and she bit her lip.

found that Don saw an acquaintance, it was the famous Hollywood actress Julianne Moore, who was smiling and nodding at her.

Not to mention Julian Moore, the smile on her face is like a blooming flower, how bright and how brilliant it is. It's just that in this smile, there is always a sense of flattering compliment.

Miss Zhang gritted her teeth, nodded at Director Zhang, then took a deep breath and said solemnly to Tang En: "Mr. Walker, can you really help us solve the distribution problem of "Ambush on All Sides"? This is really a good movie!"

Tang En turned around and apologized first: "I'm sorry to see an acquaintance." ”

Next, I felt the expressions of Director Zhang and Miss Zhang...... It seems a little weird that can't be explained.

For a while, Tang En couldn't find anything, so he followed her words and said: "There will always be a solution, didn't I say it before, if you encounter difficulties, you can come to me directly." ”

Miss Zhang didn't believe it!

If you're really willing to help, Focus Pictures will only offer a $5 million buyout?

Hum!

Still not looking for benefits?

Even Miss Zhang, who is fluent in the United States, thinks so, and Director Zhang, who knows nothing about the United States, thinks even more.

After all, the rumored Don ...... It's like thunder!

"Let's go!"

Miss Zhang seemed to be out of the way, her face was slightly red, and she walked in the direction of the elevator.

Tang En didn't move, with a strange look, "Director Zhang, aren't you going up?"

Miss Zhang almost exploded, what was he going to do?

Pervert you!

"He's not going!"

Miss Zhang couldn't turn back, her tone was not good, and she resolutely refused.

Don frowned, puzzled.

I have seen Miss Zhang a few times before, and every time she is gentle like water, she has the graceful charm of an oriental woman. What's wrong this time?

Director Zhang hurriedly gave her a look, and explained with a forced smile: "I'm really sorry, I've already made an appointment over there, and I'm ...... I really can't spare the time, so it's the same if I don't let Ziyi talk to you. ”

Don was a little unhappy in his heart.

But it's not hard for the strong.

He knows the difficulties of a foreigner in the American film industry, every film company, every producer, must be careful to deal with, and everyone represents an opportunity.

"Alright then, you can call me if you have something!"

Don took out a personal business card from his bosom and handed it over.

After receiving the business card, Director Zhang was immediately overjoyed, looked excited, looked at Miss Zhang's eyes, and appreciated and encouraged a little more.

Well done!

Promising!

Miss Zhang glanced deeply at the private business card, and her eyes also showed a bit of burning, and nodded firmly at Director Zhang.

Don didn't care about eye contact between the two.

This kind of scenario is all too common.

Every time he handed over his personal business card to an ordinary person, the other party almost always had such a grateful expression, which was normal.

……

The Fuquet Hotel has six floors.

However, on the roof of the sixth floor, there is another layer of extremely luxurious suites!

It belongs to the upstairs layout.

Here, there is a swimming pool, an open-air terrace and even a top-notch Fouquet restaurant.

That's the essence of Hotel Fuquet.

As Donne, of course, he will not encounter a "full" situation, and he has already booked the most luxurious presidential suit.

Miss Zhang had been to the Fukai Hotel a few times before, but this was the first time she had gone up to the top of the roof.

It is inevitable that my heart will throb a little.

I also deeply felt Donn's unique identity and transcendent social class.

Thinking of this, Miss Zhang's psychological burden was much less and much more relaxed.

The tension is gone, too.

Until I heard a sentence from Donn.

"Go and sit on the balcony. ”

Tang En spoke in Chinese, and Miss Zhang was dizzy at once.

Go to the balcony to do?

Damn!
