In the original intention, Li Xiang definitely wanted to stay in Hengdian, but "Genius Gunman" was about to be released, and Li Xiang had to say goodbye to his reluctant young sister and fly back to the capital.

This time, in order to promote the gunman, optical fiber can be regarded as a bloody investment, 15 million yuan was invested in the early publicity alone, and 15 million yuan is expected to be invested in the later publicity after the release of the movie, a full 30 million publicity, and a movie with the scale of the gunman is also considered a big deal.

After spending money, the effect is naturally good, and the trailer of the gunner can basically be seen in the stations, subways, and buildings of several major ticket warehouse cities.

At the same time, Li Xiang was surprised that Huaying didn't know what means, and also invested in the gunman's project, probably because the big boss Wang gritted his teeth and agreed, there was no way to provoke the boss in China!

But this is also beneficial, Huaying, like Wanda, has given the gunman the highest film scheduling rate, you must know that these two alone occupy 60% of the country's theaters, Li Xiang As long as this movie maintains its own level, it is almost certain that it will make money.

Li Xiang told Da Lao Wang at the beginning of the filming of the movie that this movie should not expect any good results in Europe and the United States, and when the finished film came out, it proved that what he said was true.

Lionsgate and Europa, two companies that have cooperated before, did not have very good box office expectations for the movie after watching the movie, and they were only willing to buy the rights to the videotape, and the price also made Fiber Optics and Li Xiang not very satisfied.

These two are still like this, not to mention other European and American companies, the little money given is like sending a beggar, which makes Li Xiang sigh that a businessman is a businessman, and friendship in front of interests is nonsense.

Fortunately, the West is not bright, the East is bright, and although the gunner is cold in Europe and the United States, it is still sold at a good price in the Asian market, except for other countries.

Needless to say, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, Yindu's base camp does not need to be bought out, just go directly to share the account, and I believe that Yindu will not pit a director who is obviously on the rise.

Wanwan contacted a newly rising distribution company - Prestige International, which is a company specializing in the distribution of commercial films, and the future gunman was also handed over to this company for distribution.

After negotiations, the two sides won the exclusive distribution right of "Genius Gunman" in Wanwan at a buyout price of NT$40 million (about more than 10 million soft sister coins).

In Korea, CJ and Dongbao were also contacted by Korea and RB, and won the rights to issue the shares in their respective countries at a buyout price of 1.6 billion won and 150 million yen, respectively.

At this point, "Genius Gunman" has not yet been released, and the total investment cost has been reduced to 15 million.

If you count product placement and placement advertising, this movie will return to its original cost before it is released, and every penny after the release is earned in vain, who don't like this kind of business?

The opponent faced by "Genius Gunman" this time is not weak, it is the magic movie "Painted Skin" from Factory Flower, Military Flag and Zhou Gongzi, a rare domestic masterpiece.

This is also reflected in the box office, with a mainland box office of 204 million, directly ranking third in the 08 mainland film box office list, ahead of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" directed by Xiaogang and "Red Cliff (I)" by Bai Ge.

However, the audience of the two movies does not coincide, and Li Xiang is still very confident in the box office prospects of the gunslinger.

On Monday, September 29th, Li Xiang did not meet his apartment, but returned to the villa where his parents lived in the capital, and today an important guest came to the house - Zhang Lin.

Speaking of this name, everyone may be a little unfamiliar, but when it comes to the company he is in charge of, everyone may be very familiar with this person, this person is the chairman of Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., which will be established next year, and later promoted to the president of Wanda Culture Group.

Now he is only the assistant to President Wang, but Dad Li is Wanda's second-in-command, and the core secrets of the group will naturally not be hidden from him.

Before Zhang Lin became the assistant to Mr. Wang, he successively served as the general manager of the group's Jinling Company, the general manager of Fengtian Company, and the general manager of Shudu Company, which means that Li Xiang has never met him, let alone friendship.

Therefore, the main reason why Zhang Lin came to visit Li's father was actually to use Li's father's mouth to find Li Xiang so that he could meet this young genius commercial director.

"This Zhang Lin has won the trust of the director, and next year he will be the chairman of the group's newly established film and television company!"

"Got it, Dad!By the way, what's the matter with him looking for me?" Li wanted to know Zhang Lin's future achievements, but was it a little too early to find himself at this time?

You must know that it was not until 11 years that Wanda Film and Television got the qualification certificate to enter the market, and participated in the investment of Lao Xu's "Intimate Enemy".

"I have two points in my analysis: first, I asked you for a good script, which is what you are good at, and second, I asked you to direct the company's first film, which you are better at!" Father Li is very confident in his son, after all, his previous achievements are there, and he only gave him a boost in terms of funds and connections, and the quality of the content is hard currency.

"Well, what you analyzed is reasonable, forget it, let's not guess! Yo, I heard the door knocking, it should be here!" Li Xiang heard the sound of Liu Ma opening the door, and it was estimated that Zhang Lin had arrived.

When they met for the first time, Zhang Lin's first impression of Li Xiang was very good, with a gold-rimmed eyes and a slightly higher hairline, not as exaggerated as Lao Liu, but it was also a Chinese face, and the whole person looked righteous and elegant.

"Hello Brother Zhang, when we meet for the first time, I am Li Xiang. After all, Zhang Lin was born in the 70s, Li Xiang hurriedly held Zhang Lin's hand and took the lead in saying hello.

"Director Li is polite, I have long heard that Mr. Li has a particularly good director son, and when I saw it today, he really showed a talent!"

"Brother Zhang, if you don't see the outside, just ask me to think about it. "I am also half a Wanda, and Li Xiang didn't take Zhang Lin as an outsider.

"Then I'm welcome, think about it, your brother Zhang has something to come to you!"

"Oh? ”

"I can't say anything about it, the group is going to enter the film production industry next summer, and the contemptible people are loved by Mr. Wang and become the chairman of the film and television company!"

"Congratulations Brother Zhang!"

"Thank you, but I'm worried about it, I'm good at it when you ask me to plan real estate and buildings, filmmaking is a new field, I'm not familiar with it!"

"What do you mean, Brother Zhang?"

"That's the case, didn't the king inject capital into your studio in the name of the company before?"

"Yes!"

"I want to buy your studio in the name of a film and television company, I don't know what you think?" Zhang Lin finally said his intentions.

“···” Li Xiang pinched his chin and thought about it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you absolute creative freedom, ask for money for money, ask for people to find people, it's not a problem!" Zhang Lin said eagerly.

"That's it, Brother Zhang, give me time to think about it, anyway, isn't the film and television company established yet?

"That's it... Well, I'm a little anxious!"
