Chapter 117: There are masters everywhere
"This place, see it, this place I think is particularly good with Xun, its timbre, can particularly highlight this vast, lofty, but also a little lonely, especially suitable for ...... Here, this has to use drums, this war, and the drums have symbolic meaning...... This place is so good ......"
Don't say it, this Wu Tong watched Wu Xiang's film, and he immediately put forward a lot of insightful ideas.
"Then what is Xun?" Wu Xiang really doesn't understand this aspect.
"That's it, as soon as I blow, the sound is a little whining, this musical instrument is our Han nationality, it is very ancient, and it is especially suitable for your play. "Wu Tong's words are very professional.
"Can you find a master in this area?" Wu Xiang asked again.
"You're asking. Wu Tong smiled, "The best one to blow this is my teacher, if you need it, I'll find my teacher for you." ”
"Your teacher?" Wu Xiang didn't know who your teacher was?
"Ah, alto, Cao Jianguo, I still have a teacher, Yang Shoucheng. Wu Xiang replied calmly.
"Alto's ......," Wu Xiang muttered, and that seemed to be fine. "Okay, let's try it. ”
"It's done!"
Wu Tong will go back to the teacher immediately, of course, this matter can't be so urgent, and it will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. Wu Xiang hurried up, he went to find the information of these two people, of course, Cao Jianguo and Yang Shoucheng.
"It's a big nest!" When Wu Xiang found the information of these two people, he realized that he had really found the treasure, and Old Master Wang did not fool him.
Yang Shoucheng, that's a performance artist who plays the sheng, it's very, very powerful, but not many people know about this instrument now, and this reputation is not obvious. And the other, Mr. Cao Jianguo, this is even more powerful, everyone who blows Xun, and is one of the top 200 artists in the world, much more awesome than Tanton.
These are all masters, and I am so lucky!
However, in total, too, how good is people's 'alto', in the circle of ancient music and folk music, she is not the first, so who else?
After Wu Xiang read these materials, he directly decided that the soundtrack of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" will be done by you Wu Tong, and you will do it with your teacher, how much it costs, that's no problem.
Of course, Wu Xiang is a bit braggadocio at the end, and the reason why he is so bright is because he feels that such an artist should not ask for a lot of money.
Sure enough, Wu Tong replied, I asked for 100,000 yuan, and then I shared the money with the teacher.
It's only 100,000!
It's really interesting, but people have a small request, that is, on the subtitles of the movie, can you introduce these musical instruments?
What else to say, Wu Xiang agreed at that time, rest assured, we will definitely carry forward the things of our nation!
Great, the soundtrack is so done, Wu Xiang can't be more comfortable in his heart.
The soundtrack has just been finalized here, and there's good news over there.
"First Close Contact" was released in Japan, and after three days of release, that is, one weekend, it achieved a box office of more than 100 million yen, which made the distributor very happy.
The box office of more than 100 million yen in three days is still quite good in 2001, especially if domestic films have such a performance in Japan, it is even more rare, and what is even more rare is that Wu Xiang's film is not a local movie, and the characters in it are not poor and earthy, or an action movie like "Shaolin Temple".
This is a love movie, a modern love movie, this kind of film has a market in the island country, but they have never seen such a film, the love story in the modern Chinese metropolis.
Anyway, the results are good, Wu Xiang is naturally happy, which means that there is money to take.
In addition, "Get in the Car, Let's Go" has also done other copyright treatments, but it is still the same old-fashioned, Hualu Company came to buy the distribution rights of audio and video products, and the movie channel came to buy the TV broadcast rights.
There's no way, there's almost no way to innovate, and that's all you can do now.
The box office of this film is not particularly good, so the price is so good, and Wu Xiang got another dividend of about 500,000 yuan. To be honest, people have increased their prices, which is not bad.
Of course, this mainland market has been released, and overseas markets must also be developed.
Hong Kong has already done it, the effect is average, it was released in March, and the box office is only more than 500,000 Hong Kong paper, which is honestly not performing well.
I'm afraid the reason is that the audience in Hong Kong can't experience some of the jokes in it, and they may not be able to hear anything interesting in the Shan D dialect.
This is normal, just like the film directed by Feng Xiaogang, it sells well in the north, but it is very average in the south, a reason.
It's just that Hong Kong's performance is not good, so the film companies on the treasure island retreated, and they can also analyze this reason, they also belong to the south, so forget about this film.
These two overseas markets are not good, but they do.
France is a very romantic country, with the Eiffel Tower, Sophie Marceau, and Peugeot Renault.
Generally speaking, this country has good diplomatic relations with our DPRK, and they like to implement unilateralist policies, but they do not follow the same path as your old powers.
It's like back then, when the United States wanted to fight for independence, France could help hard, and Britain was angry. Everyone knows that it was the statue that the French gave to the United States, the Statue of Liberty. But I am afraid that some people do not know that the French have done something more friendly, that is, they sold the Indiana to the United States for a very cheap price. (Indiana was larger than the U.S. at the time)
This is unilateralism, and now their target is to me, you are not happy, hey, good, I will have a good relationship with him, and I will be angry with you.
In particular, at this time, Chirac was still in power, which was much stronger than the later 'silly politeness'.
The French are very interesting, and this is why many of our big directors like to send their films to French film festivals. One is of a high level, and the other is that people are also willing to accept it.
Of course, they will also find opportunities to sarcastically mock some of your questions, such as Director Zhang's quarrel with that Jacob back time.
And this time, a company in France took the initiative to extend an olive branch, wanting to buy the distribution rights of "Get in the Car, Let's Go", and of course, the "First Close Contact".
The name of this company is very simple, it's called M6, why did they take the initiative to talk about it? This matter has something to do with a movie.
The people who run "Get in the Car, Let's Go" and "The First Time" are Yu Dong's Berner, and Yu Dong has made money from these two movies, and the profits are quite good. He is equivalent to a fallen master, right to the seam, but you have to turn it upside down, Yu Dong saw a film called "The Legend of Tianmai".
Wu Xiang also knows the truth about this film, to be honest, this film is very bad, this is really not afraid of offending people, it is true. But there is a big star in this film, Yang Ziqiong. Also, this is a Sino-US cooperation film, and there are relatively few films that have been cooperated in this year, which has an element of foreign culture in it.
With Yang Ziqiong, there must be action, foreigners, and novelties, and this film is estimated to make money.
Therefore, Yu Dong went to talk, and in the process of talking, he met this M6 company.
This M6, it's very weird, it's more deductible than Yu Dong, and I shouted out the buyout, I'm going to buy out the distribution rights of your "Legend of Tianmai" in France, people Yang Ziqiong naturally can't agree, she is battle-hardened, you're too picky, so what's the matter?
M6 didn't talk to Yang Ziqiong, but he talked to Yu Dong.
It's those two films, this M6 is also enough to lose, and it still has to be bought out!
If you want to say that Westerners do business, they are interesting, like a stick, and they don't bend.
But you won't turn, we'll turn. In this market in France, Yu Dong knows a little bit about it, and he has the experience of negotiating with little devils before, so he thought of a way, which is very simple, that is, to find another company.
Océan Films, which is also a distribution company, but they give a price of ......
Less!
That's right, the price is less than the M6, and there is a reason for this, because they have been cheated by filmmakers in Huaxia, and they have just been pitted.
That movie is called "The Devil is Coming", a masterpiece of the famous actor and director Jiang Cohen, but this film was banned in China because it went to the exhibition without censorship, but it can be listed abroad, and it also won an award in Cannes, so the company bought out the distribution rights of "The Devil is Coming" in France and Europe at a high price.
But it's a pity that this film made Océan Films lose money, "The Devil is Coming" premiered in France in March 2001, but unfortunately the box office is not good, the reason is actually very simple, you don't want to watch the film won an award in Cannes, but the problem is that ordinary people in Europe don't care about the anti-fascist war in Asia at all.
They really don't care, they don't care at all, because that's how they were educated, and there are very few people who know a little bit of Asian history, and they know that little Japan was subdued by the Yankees, and as for what the little devils did before, they don't care, and they don't know what to do.
There is no way to do this, because now Japan is an ally of Europe and the United States, and the position of Western public opinion propaganda is actually controlled by the United States, so how can they scold their allies? Therefore, even if it is a bad thing, it will be a big thing and a small matter.
So do you say that the box office can be high? Yes, people have been cheated so badly, this time Yu Dong went to talk to others, how could people give you a high price?
But that's okay, just talk.
The M6 company, they don't know how much price Océan Films gives, it's a trade secret, but what they do know is that there is another French company that is interested in Yu Dong's two films.
So, Yu Dong, who returned to the negotiation table again, easily got two account-sharing contracts, and both films were handed over to the M6 company, which was more picky!
(Don't forget to recommend the collection, thank you for the black car!)
