328, On the issuance
A dream of Huangliang Film and Television Company.
Of course, Huang Liang and Huang Yu's father and son also saw Shen Qiushan's Weibo for the first time, Huang Liang's beard was pouted, and he slapped it on the table, spilling out the tea in the teacup above.
"It's just too arrogant! Shen Qiushan really thinks that he is the only one in the entire film industry who can film?! If he doesn't participate in the awards, okay, then his films will never think about winning awards again!"
Huang Liang scolded angrily.
"Shen Qiushan, this guy is really getting more and more crazy, and he has even begun to openly shout for the Jinhua Award, but it is a good thing for us that he is doing this. Huang Yu sneered and said: Because, he offended not only our family this time, but also offended the other judges of the Jinhua Award at once, and in the future, his road in the film and television industry will be even more difficult. ”
"Hmph, this is also his own fault!" Huang Liang rolled his eyes: "I heard that the release of his new film has not yet been decided?"
"No, I asked the senior management of Starlight, they should have given a guarantee of 550 million, but Shen Qiushan was still not satisfied, and the price of other companies did not even exceed 500 million, so his new film has been hanging. Huang Yu replied.
"A martial arts film, it's not enough to give a guarantee of 550 million, is it possible that he still thinks that a martial arts film can also sell it for 10 billion? It's really whimsical!" Huang Liang pursed his lips disdainfully: "Go to the media, add another fire, and spread the news that his new film is a big bad movie." ”
"Well, I'll contact the media in a moment. Huang Yu nodded and sneered: "Speaking of which, Shen Qiushan is also his own death, he doesn't shoot a good urban theme, but he wants to shoot a martial arts film, now it's okay, even the release is a problem!"
Huang Liang snorted coldly and shook his head: "This is inflated, the box office of the two films is good, I think I can do anything, I want to see how much the box office of his new film can be!"
……
A western restaurant in Yanjing.
Shen Qiushan was drinking coffee slowly, and opposite him was a blonde and blue-eyed foreign beauty, her facial features were very Westernized, but there was a faint meaning of an oriental beauty between her eyebrows and eyes.
This woman is none other than Tiana, vice president of Asia at Columbia Pictures and Television Productions.
"Miss Tiana seems to be half-blood. Shen Qiushan opened his mouth.
"That's right, my grandfather is Chinese. Tiana smiled: "So, I have a special affection for Huaxia." ”
"I didn't expect it to be half a fellow. Shen Qiushan smiled.
"Fellow?" Tiana was obviously a little unfamiliar with the term.
Shen Qiushan shrugged: "I mean to say that there is a part of blood in our bodies that is the same. ”
"It should be, and I'm happy to close this deal. Tiana had a smile on her face, and she looked kind: "I have already seen Mr. Shen's works, and from my personal point of view, this movie is very well made, with a strong Chinese color, and I think it should be a blockbuster in North America." ”
"I hope that's the case too~!" Shen Qiushan smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then we'll talk about the price. Tiana put on a serious face: "Normally, our company buys the distribution rights of Asian films in North America in the form of buyouts, and Mr. Shen's film is of good quality, I think it can be sold for about 2 million US dollars." ”
Tiana directly opened the price range, she was right, usually, Columbia's films in Asia are buyouts, because, the box office of Asian films in North America has always been not optimistic, so they often use the lowest price to "Taobao", in case they find a film that can sell tens of millions of dollars, they will make a lot of money, of course, this probability is very low, when Asian films are released in North America, they have won about 70 million US dollars.
"I still want to work together in a different way. Shen Qiushan said lightly.
"You mean to sign a sharing agreement with us?" Tiana reacted quickly, and then shook her head repeatedly: "If I want to sign a sharing contract, I need to ask the company's headquarters for instructions, and even if I do, the final result may not be optimistic." ”
"Mr. Shen, you should know the North American market, it is very inclusive, and there is no problem with all kinds of electronic music being screened there, but the genre of this film like yours has not been released in North America before, so we have no way to predict its prospects. Tiana continued.
"In that case, Miss Tiana should help me apply, I still want to divide the distribution into a cooperative way. Shen Qiushan took a sip of the coffee in front of him and said.
"OK, of course that's fine, but as I said, it's very unlikely, but it looks like you're confident in your work. Tiana smiled softly.
"Of course~!" Shen Qiushan spread his hands.
"Okay, then I'll call right now. Tiana said and directly dialed a number with her mobile phone, because the next conversation involved Shen Qiushan and his work "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so Shen Qiushan didn't wait for Tiana to leave, so he went to the bathroom very interestingly.
By the time Shen Qiushan came back, Tiana had already hung up the phone.
"You're lucky, the headquarters has agreed to share the contract model, but if you want to split 6:4, we will 6, you take 4!" Tiana directly "reported" the results of her phone call.
"Six-four points?" Shen Qiushan rubbed his hands, hesitated slightly, and then nodded: "OK, that's it!"
The proportion of the box office is not what Shen Qiushan values the most at present, he mainly wants to try to open up the North American market, even if the final movie does not make a penny, it is a new experience for him.
"OK, then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Tiana smiled and held out her hand.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Shen Qiushan got up and shook hands with Tiana very gentlemanly.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, I just learned the news when I was talking to the headquarters on the phone, at present, our company is about to recommend the last batch of shortlisted films for the best foreign language film to the Oscar organizing committee, if we sign the contract immediately, we can catch up, of course, our company only has some recommended places, as for whether it can be shortlisted for the competition unit in the end, it still depends on those judges. ”
Tiana added.
And listening to her words, Shen Qiushan's eyes suddenly lit up, he was wondering if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" could make foreigners buy it like in another time and space, and Tiana gave him a glimmer of hope, which was really good news.
