Chapter 625: An Old Crybaby!

Why go to the United States?

It's very simple, because Wu Xiang's new film "Snowpiercer" is about to be released in the summer!

It's almost May, so I can't be busy announcing it at this time. On the domestic side, the status of 307 is definitely dominant, so Wu Xiang, the chairman, does not need to be involved in anything at all, and the difficulty is actually in the United States.

Well, in the final analysis, this movie is also a Hollywood movie, which means that China has to be handed over by China Film, which is okay, but there is no worry about film scheduling, but it is difficult to say on the American side, and things are much more complicated......

"MR Wu, we have always had a good cooperation before, and this time we have difficulties here, you should help, right?"

As a senior director of Miramax, Brown has not been very comfortable in recent years, it was still good a few years ago, and he cooperated well with Wu Xiang and some other companies, but after Wu Xiang acquired AMC American Cinema Line, Mira's financial data began to have problems.

It's normal, after all, the Weinster brothers who ran away before still have the ability, and many of his cadres have also gone to other companies, Brown is really not enough to see compared to them, and it is not surprising that the company was made like this by him.

"Then what do you mean?" Actually, Wu Xiang didn't come to Brown, it was this guy who took the initiative to find him, of course. Brown is also very clear now, and he also knows that Wu Xiang now has a new film to be released.

Therefore, at the beginning, it was still a matter of film scheduling. This is good, but with that, the two of them have changed a little.

This Brown has become a little tearful.

"MR Wu, we Miramax are really in need of money this time, and you know. Our holding company, Disney, is not willing to spend more money, so we hope to sell a certain amount of shares. We intend to ......"

Before Brown finished speaking, Wu Xiang understood, "Say, what's going on with your plan?"

"We hope that Mr. Wu's company can contribute $800 million. Then we sell 50% of the shares. ”

Ay. Wu Xiang was speechless, what is this Nima doing, I spent 800 million, and then I can only get half of it?

As far as the current Miramax is concerned, it's not a question of whether it's worth the price, but it's not very attractive to Wu Xiang at all, I have what you have, and you don't have it. I also have both, so let's talk about the production cost of this film. I make zuò in China, which is much cheaper than in Hollywood.

"If it's 800 million, I hope it's a wholly-owned acquisition!" Wu Xiang didn't hesitate, he thought about his offer, then he quoted directly, there was no need to make any twists and turns.

"800 million, that's too little, isn't it? We have a lot of copyrights in our hands!

That's right, Mira does have a lot of precious movie copyrights in his hands, that's right, many classic movies, "Kill Bill" or something, the key is that they have a lot of Hong Kong action movie copyrights in their hands, and there are also many film copyrights in our country, and more importantly, they are all bought out!

Oh yes, the Weinstein brothers did a few good deals back then, but.

"If it weren't for these copyrights, how could I have paid 800 million?" Yes, Wu Xiang is here for these copyrights, how much is your film company worth, right?

"This price is completely unacceptable to me!" Of course Brown quit, he originally totaled that the bargaining space was within two or three hundred million, but he didn't expect that Wu Xiang would directly cut it in half.

Hehe, bargain with us Chinese, where are you opponents?!

"800 million is not good, then the funds in my hand now are about 600 million, if 800 million is not good......" Wu Xiang is playing hard enough, this guy is just like buying cabbage in the market, and it has dropped by 200 million!

This is 100 million, it's a beautiful knife, not a piece or two, and Brown's careful liver can stand it......

"MR Wu, let's not talk about this for now, so let's talk about the schedule of your new film "Snowpiercer" first?"

Okay, then talk about quilts, you see, foreigners are so good, this business is so faceless, but it doesn't matter, we can do something else, right?

However, Wu Xiang felt very interesting in his heart.

You must know that these copyrights in the hands of Mira's company are actually a history of blood and tears in our domestic films, just for this overseas distribution, what a big loss, but back then, you had to be willing to let people cheat like this, and even have to take the initiative, otherwise, people ignore you, how old are you?

But now, the shape has changed, and everyone's status is completely reversed, of course, maybe not so neatly reversed, but now it's your turn to beg Lao Tzu, hahahaha......

Wait a minute, does this seem a bit like the plot of "Chinese Partner"?

This matter is completely inseparable from the development of the domestic film market, because now the world's largest box office is our China, well, although the United States is counting dollars, the number of tickets bought is not as good as ours.

Of course, it is better for us to enter the American film market, but if we can't get in, it won't give up a lot of interests like before, and even to the point of selling our self-esteem, right?

When Wu Xiang thought of this, he even had a feeling that he had thought for so many years, that is, with the Western art outlook and values, the state of the horse's head would change!

Yes, it will definitely change, maybe not very quickly, but it must be promising!

Brown's side of Mira, although he failed to sell the film company to Wu Xiang, this big deal was not made, but after all, he was in the release of the film "Snowpiercer". I found some sweetness, which is not bad, not in vain.

And there was Mira. That is, Disney's help, so with AMC, it can be said that Wu Xiang's new film is definitely in the American theater schedule, and it will not suffer.

"When the whole world is covered with snow and ice......"

"When the last human beings can only survive zài in a train that never stops......"

"When the poor civilians are oppressed and bullied......"

"When they have so little property left that they can't keep even their descendants......

"They took up arms. They're starting to fight!"

The trailer of "Snowpiercer" came out, and it was really tall and tall, and the picture was very good. When the words 'ice and snow in the world' came out, the screen was full of ice, as if there was a cold air about to hit the face. And at the end of 'Pick Up Arms', it's really a few protagonists who pick up their weapons. 'Fight'. Then it's really a fight, and the thunderbolt is not ambiguous!

"Adapted from a classic French animation, starring Oscar for Best Actor, Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Queen of Chinese Television, Hai Qing......"

Anyway, I have to introduce the actors in the end, right? As a result, Haiqing became the queen of Chinese TV.

All right. That's not bragging, is it?

This trailer first came out on the Internet, using the same kind of viral marketing technique that has now been used, but the number of hits is still good, and many American viewers are very interested.

Wu Xiang is very concerned about his "Snowpiercer", and he is going to have another global simultaneous release this time, so the United States is busy and ready to go to Europe.

Of course, in fact, he doesn't have to go to Europe in person, Li Yuncong and Mendes can handle this matter, but he, the director and boss, will personally press the formation, which is always good, but ......

"Woo woo, Wu, we're good friends, right?"

"Woo woo, Wu, you have to help me!"

"Woo woo, Wu, you know what? I was working in my father's tavern when I was ten years old, and I am here today because I want to fulfill my American dream! Wu, you must ......."

Who is this? Why are you crying?

Yes, Wu Xiang really wanted to pretend that he didn't know this guy, but this guy was crying on his shoulder at this time, you said that if a beautiful woman cries in this place, then it will be a good thing, isn't it?

Who the hell is it? Are you Wu Xiang going to make a foundation?

This person is really a big man, the key is a big man, he is none other than the Republican whip of the United States, John Boena!

Isn't it? John Boehner, this guy can cry? And cry so desolately?

Don't say it, this guy really cries, and he cries a lot, well, this is often a bit too much, the main thing is that this guy likes to fall uncontrollably when he needs to win some sympathy. This guy is famous in American politics for being able to cry and cry, anyway, the tear ducts are very developed.

Really, this is definitely a good foundation for an actor!

Spit and complain, Wu Xiang really can't stand this guy's expression, but there is no way, the status of John Bona is getting more and more powerful now, can you not give face?

So what's going on?

It's really a bit complicated, but to put it simply, it's ......

"Don't worry, in this way, I'll help you again, okay, I'll help you Republican again, help you make a movie, but you also know this, if I help you, then the Democratic Party will ......"

How come this is still about making a movie? (To be continued......
