Chapter 352 [My Heavenly Ne (Asking for a Monthly Pass!)]
(Counted as yesterday's third shift...... Happy holidays to the babies!)
β¦β¦
At present, there is no concept of variety show movies in China, only a few years later, after a parent-child variety show became popular, an alternative method of money was opened, and a big movie was created, and after its release, it sold hundreds of millions of box office across the country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info At that time, people knew that movies made with the high popularity of variety shows were so rich.
Since then, various variety shows have made money. This kind of behavior has also attracted many filmmakers to boycott. And cheating money is only for a while, and over time, Chinese audiences are becoming more and more mature, and it will not work if they want to rely on variety shows and big movies to make money.
But now "God of Wild Food" is the first to eat crabs, although he is also using the popularity of variety shows, and he is not making variety movies but documentaries. It is completely a work of conscience and will not be afraid of criticism.
The episode of "Wilderness God of Food" has been launched, and the ratings have exceeded 8%. If he could convert one-tenth of so many viewers, he would have made a lot of money.
With such a strong audience base, in contrast, Chen Ergou naturally attaches more importance to the domestic market. So he said that he "doesn't care about the North American addition", and he is not bragging.
The fact that domestic films can be released in North America seems lofty, but in fact, looking back on the achievements of domestic films going abroad in recent years, we should not do that kind of extravagant hope.
Even if Chen Ergou's video is very popular in the United States, it is still unknown how many Americans are willing to watch a documentary about the adventures of a Chinese. Of course, as long as the results are not too bad to be released in North America, it will be advantageous after all.
You can raise the grade and let Chen Ergou be gold-plated. Then with the help of the high coercion of overseas releases, it will counter-promote domestic public opinion and promote sales.
With this consensus, the essence of this negotiation will not change.
And the Warner distributor, after reviewing the film, reacted similarly to Nikki.
"Wonderful!"
David said, "Looking at the editing and the pacing, it's a bit like Alfonso CuarΓ³n's style. β
"Alfonso, don't be kidding, that's an Oscar-winning director. Nikki was a little surprised.
They didn't know that Chen Ergou's [director] skills were derived from the works of the same great director in another time and space.
"But the other party still asks for distribution according to the commercial blockbuster?"
Director Kevin took the lead and said: "You can do market research first, there are very few documentaries of this type, and the topic is hot, and after the treasure auction is successful, there will definitely be another round of craze." Even the publicity saves most of it, and it is not necessarily that there is no market. β
Warner has basically reached a consensus, but the negotiations have not let up at all. They are the Big Six in Hollywood, and they must clearly tell the Chinese that this is Hollywood. After two days and six rounds of intensive negotiations, the arrogant Americans refused to back down, and the negotiations reached a stalemate.
Chen Ergou was inspecting the expedition route in the field at this time, while preparing for a new adventure, he also saw this negotiation in his eyes, and said in his heart: The Americans just want to drag me like this, seeing that we have nothing to do with North America, thinking that they are the only choice......
"Dog, it's time to get down to business. β
Xia Meng and Cai Yinong felt that they couldn't talk anymore, and Warner was playing with them. Just as they were about to come back, they received a call from Chen Ergou asking them to stay for one more day.
"What's the use of a day? They are grasping at our weakness and trying to make us compromise. The two will be skeptical.
However, it didn't take a day to get the news from another powerful giant buyer out of nowhere and join the negotiations. This is Universal Pictures!
They are beginning to prepare for the remake of "Jurassic Park", because of the "Congo Elf Dragon Handshake" incident, they also paid special attention to Chen Ergou. This time I accidentally received inside information, and I also watched a video of "Documentary", and I was immediately moved.
"Warner doesn't buy it, we buy it. β
And that's not all, Miramax and Columbia joined the inquiry.
Xia Meng and the others were shocked, what did Chen Ergou do.
This change caught Warner by surprise, because Cai Yinong had already begun to stop them. I don't know who came out of the news, a news called [Many big-name companies in Hollywood collectively robbed the documentary of Chen Ergou's treasure hunting trip], began to go viral on the domestic Internet.
"Really, what about this dream?" the domestic media was in a fog.
Isn't the "Barbossa" the name of Chen Ergou's treasure ship? Chen Ergou has never been out, he is preparing for his next wilderness trip, when will he have time to make a new documentary?
If you don't understand the spectacular, some people start to spray wildly, "a swelling batch", "I want to fly before I learn to walk", "It's easy to pull the egg when the step is too big", "I want to be crazy if I want to be famous." β
And the reporters who have the way to start frantically inquiring about the news, and the multi-party participation naturally can't hide it, and the news is gradually confirmed, and there is indeed such a thing!
"Oh my God!/Eat your hands"
At this time, the domestic media woke up to their senses, and their surprise turned into exclamation, "Have you quietly made a documentary?" It's no wonder that the previous Congo River adventure and this treasure hunt video were not played. β
"It's too hidden. β
Wanda saw the stitches and opened the first bullet of publicity, and jointly released the information with the Reservoir Dogs Studio, a documentary jointly distributed by Wanda and the Reservoir Dogs Studio, named "The Adventures of the Barbossa Treasure Hunt" in China, will be released nationwide during the summer vacation: "Completely reveal the bits and pieces of the treasure hunting process, the inspirational transformation of a fat boy to a big adventurer, the prologue of a legendary story, and the details of a treasure worth billions...... Told by the dog master for you, all on July 15. β
"Don't leave after school, let's talk!"
The first wonderful trailer of the documentary was also released, and although it was only 58 seconds long, the content inside was stunning. It's all unannounced. This includes encounters with pirates, shark fights, hand-to-hand encounters with mercenaries, and even shootouts and RPG rocket launcher bombing.
And Chen Ergou only relied on a flying knife to put down several murderous mercenaries in the jungle, and the dripping movements and the real bloody fight made countless sailors stunned, "Is this true? β
Only then did people know that it was really difficult to find the treasure this time.
"It's not a living Lord!"
After watching the first trailer, Huayi Feng Xiaogang said this sentence, "Fierce enemy!"
He has been without an opponent for more than ten years since he switched to commercial films, but he never thought that he would one day regard a domestic documentary as a fierce rival. And his new film "The Great Earthquake" will also be released at the same time, just a week later than "Treasure Hunt".
He has no way of knowing what Chen Ergou wants to achieve, but his movies are going to be the box office champion, and he will not be negligent with any opponent. As soon as his brain turned, he was going to talk to the Wang brothers. As for what measures Huayi wants to take to restrain his opponent, Chen Ergou does not know.
The negotiations with the United States have finally come to fruition.
After several days of negotiations, Reservoir Dogs reached an agreement with Warners.
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
In the Warner conference room, Cai Yinong, on behalf of Chen Ergou, exchanged contracts with department head Kevin Tsuhara, took the digital copy of "Barbossa" from Xia Meng's hand and symbolically gave it to the other party. After several rounds of tug-of-war negotiations, "Barbossa" was finally distributed by Warner, and the contract stipulated that Warner could spend no less than $10 million on the promotion of the film, and the maximum theater could not be less than 500.
Reservoir Dogs can get a 20% share of the global box office except China.
Twenty percent of the box office, this number is a bit pitfall, but when the movie is made and can't find anyone to show it, it's no different from garbage. Compared with the history of domestic films fighting in Hollywood in recent years, it is already a heavenly achievement to have a box office share. Even the best "Hero" of the year, isn't it also a buyout.
"Welcome to Chen's next visit to the United States. This is the first person to sell a documentary into the United States without ever landing on American soil. Kevin Tsuha stretched out his hand to shake the two of them, "I can't wait to meet him, please help me relay my greetings." β
Cai Yinong smiled back politely and said, "Yes." I think Hero is looking forward to meeting you, and it won't be too long. If you're in New York next week, you'll be able to meet him. β
"Oh yes, is that auction about to start? β
