Chapter 337 Target DC Comics
Regarding Robinov's request, Peng Yichen thought for a long time before secretly making a decision in his heart.
He finally faced Robinov for the first time and told part of his plans to enter the North American film market.
"Mr. Robinoff, I would love to work with you and the legendary pictures behind you. But I value the rights to those comics that DC Comics have in their hands very much. If you have a way to get DC Comics to be divested by Hua Na Sale, then there is no obstacle to our cooperation. Peng Yichen thought for a long time before saying to Robinov.
Luo Bingnov pondered for a long time, he couldn't figure out what Peng Yichen's real intention was when he made this request.
After all, in the eyes of Hollywood filmmakers these days, comic book movies are not a very promising option.
The only two previous successful comic book adaptations were the "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" series.
And the success of these two films has not reached the point of changing the entire film market pattern, but is more like a short-lived accidental success.
Although "Iron Man" released by Didshini last year was an amazing box office, it was just an ordinary commercial movie.
At this time, no one in Hollywood thought that in the next ten years, under the concept of the Marvel Universe, "The Avengers" has become a superhero movie in this series of movies, which has set off a big storm in the global film market and reaped such huge benefits.
Until Peng Yichen crossed into this world, "The Avengers" and Marvel's superhero movies were still the most profitable movie series in the world.
It can be seen how huge the energy and potential of manga films in the international film market in the future are.
Unfortunately, none of this was foreseeable by Robinov. After all, in the past 20 years, all of DC's manga movies have lost money.
If it weren't for the fact that the two superheroes of "Superman" and "Batman" still have some popularity, Hua Na would have sold DC Comics clearance fire long ago.
"I can satisfy you with this thing. Since last year, the young director Bix has been looking for, the Englishman named Nolan, who has always wanted to make a "Batman" movie.
But I kept pressing on this project and didn't let him shoot it. It's the fear of a major investment failure.
Since you said so, then I will immediately find a way to find someone to make a DC Comics superhero movie, the investment will not be too large, but I will do enough in publicity.
When the time comes, as long as the film fails. I'm going to find a way to convince Bix to sell DC Comics.
I want to remind you that even though DC Comics has been losing money for the past few years, if you are to be prepared for at least $1 billion. ”
Robinov quickly agreed to Peng's request.
His words made Peng Yichen breathe a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know why Nolan appeared in the Hollywood film circle so late in this world.
And he is no longer friendly with Legendary Pictures, but Bix has pulled it up.
But as long as he hasn't touched "Batman" now, he has a chance to get DC Comics.
"Okay, I'll be sure to have the relevant funds ready. Peng Yichen quietly waved his fist on the other end of the phone, but when he spoke on the phone, he didn't have any excitement or excitement at all.
He didn't want Robinoff to show how much he valued DC Comics.
"I agreed to your request, so in return. I ask you that the next sci-fi film will still be distributed by Legendary Pictures in the North American and international film markets. That's the premise for me to hand over DC Comics to you, and it's also the premise for us to work together. Robinov didn't make Peng Yichen happy for long, he replied on the other end of the phone.
Sure enough, there is never a free lunch.
"You know, if I do, I'm going to fall out with Bix. The investment in this sci-fi movie is also a blockbuster in Hollywood. It's impossible for Bix not to care about the release of the film and the surrounding revenue like he did with "Double Treasure Fighting Demons". Peng Yichen reminded Robinov.
"Director Peng, do you think that according to the character of the Wall Street gang and Bix's temper, they will allow you to dominate the cooperation all the time?" Robinov seemed completely sure that he could convince Peng Yichen, and he asked unhurriedly.
"No way. I'm just a springboard for them to enter the Chinese film market. Peng Yichen replied very self-awarely.
Robinov smiled lightly, and he liked to talk to smart people:
"You're a real filmmaker, and Bickers and the Wall Street he represents are businessmen.
You will always be people of two worlds, how can you maintain a long-term relationship?
Now, I and the legendary film industry behind me need you and the Huaxia film market you represent.
But you can also get the key to the North American film market through us traditional Hollywood filmmakers. Isn't that the perfect combination?
After all, we are people who respect the laws of film art, compared to those behind Bix who only know how to make money.
We are the ones who can establish a stable cooperative relationship with you!"
Peng Yichen pondered for a while, and soon replied firmly: "I understand what you mean, then we will decide." If Twin Treasures Fights the Devil is a success in North America, you're going to help me get DC Comics. As soon as DC Comics is in my hands, I will talk about my next sci-fi movie to be distributed by Legendary Pictures. ”
"Well, it's a very fair deal. I believe that we are all full of people, and we know that people who do not keep their promises will not be able to survive in the market, right!" The firmness and threat in Robinov's words let Peng Yichen know that this old fox who is crawling around in Hollywood is definitely not easy to mess with.
Of course, he didn't even think about breaking the agreement between the two parties.
So, he smiled and agreed, and hung up Robinov's phone.
In the end, Peng Yichen and Robinov reached an agreement and decided to hand over the distribution of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" in the North American and international film markets to Legendary Pictures.
As for how Robinov persuaded Bickers to agree to the agreement, it was not something that Peng Yichen needed to worry about.
The distribution of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" in Huaxia will be handed over to Huimin Film and Television Group this time.
These are the two most important jobs of Peng Yichen and Chen Jing Film Company in the first half of 2010.
In Huaxia, we will make every effort to do a good job in the publicity and distribution of "Infernal Affairs".
In North America, we will do our best to do a good job in the publicity and distribution of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", as well as the Oscar selection and public relations of "Beautiful Life".
If everything can be according to Peng Yichen's plan, a phased success will be achieved.
And DC Comics can also be held by Peng Yichen as scheduled.
Then Peng Yichen will really gain the capital and potential to reach the top in the international film market.
This is crucial for Peng Yichen to realize his dream.
It is also crucial to whether Chinese films can enter the international film market and eventually occupy a mainstream position.
