Chapter IX Proposals for Cooperation
Artists never fight alone, behind them is the competition of the entire industrial chain of agents and affiliated companies.
There are good ones, such as Wang Jinghua and the like, of course, more of them have encountered unreliable brokers and brokerage companies.
Our Shuang Meizi's agent is her father, so no matter how Shuang Meizi lets go, her father thinks it's okay!
Even if she picks her feet on the street...
The most obvious example should be the prince Wen girl, she followed Wang Shuo at the beginning, but she didn't get any benefits, and then attached the brokerage contract to Xin Baoyuan, uh, it's still not good, after starring in "Ode to Joy", she changed her brokerage company and changed her contract under Taiyang Chuanhe!
Taiyang Chuanhe is Xiao Mingge's brokerage company, and he is well-connected!
Even the agent found Nini's previous agent, Chen Po.
Then, the hotly searched airport street photography and "Men's Wear" were on the scene, and many fashion brands came to the door, and the money was rolling.
Wang Ziwen has become the ambassador of L'Oreal and Guerlain in France!
also filmed an advertisement for Nescafe with Li Yifeng, don't think it's just a simple cooperation, Li Yifeng's agent signed Zhao Shan and Yang Ming, Zhao Shan is Huang Xiaoming's propaganda backbone for many years...
Han Xiting has good looks and a good starting point, but unfortunately, he looked away and actually signed the brokerage contract to the new crown...
Tut, saying that she is not Zhang Weipin's 'friend' probably no one believes it, on the poster of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", there is actually a photo of her...
……
"Thirteen Hairpins" was not selected for the Golden Globe Awards, which is expected.
A series of issues such as war, massacre, strong women's, sex, and Lun Li were mixed together and dealt with by Zhang in a rash and entertaining manner, which was completely vulgar. History, war, massacres and other serious propositions that even masters dare not touch easily, but Zhang Yimou shot it head-on!
Moreover, Thirteen Hairpin's Hollywood-style shooting techniques, plot design and the crappy Western values it promotes are to foreigners, just like "The King of Kung Fu" is to Chinese audiences.
The Golden Globe Awards are essentially an entertainment award, and the Oscars are industry awards and union awards, which cannot be compared!
Another point, the public relations of "Thirteen Hairpins" is very poor!
Zhang Weipin claimed that 2,000 theaters in North America opened at the same time, and only 30 were demerited...
The publishing company is two small companies that are not well known, where do they have the experience and money to deal with public relations?
The North American distribution of "A Farewell" is handled by Twentieth Century Fox!
One of the six major Hollywood companies, people's publicity and distribution methods are all kinds of mature, plus the artistic depth of "A Farewell" is enough,
So, it's normal to only nominate and not win awards...
However, for Zhang Yimou, this defeat made him suffer a lot.
Originally, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was determined to be an award-winning movie at the beginning of the project.
For the sake of the box office, Bell was specially invited, but the Chinese audience didn't buy it at all!
He was very frustrated, during the public relations of "Thirteen Hairpins", Zhang Yimou was on the scene, and ordinary public relations companies will consider the possibility of winning awards when choosing a work.
For example, critics' reviews, political correctness, popular discussions at film festivals, in the media and even on social networks, or box office successes, and master directors!
The public relations team of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" looked for a local public relations company in North America, and the local public relations team should have considered it and told him that it was unlikely that he would win the award...
But you still have to try, after all, it's all a lot of money!
And then spent millions of dollars and got nothing...
……
Los Angeles, in the afternoon, the sun is just right.
The warm spring breeze on the west coast blows the whole city, and it is quite bright...
Leaning on the beach chair, Xu Hui held a glass of ice... Watermelon juice, while drinking, chatted with Huang Wen who was lying on another chair.
Sisi and Chen Farong play beach volleyball with a few Chinese girls...
"It's time to go see Zhang Yimou, right?"
"Don't worry, wait for the Oscar nominations to be announced!"
“… You are so confident that "Thirteen Hairpins" will definitely not be nominated?"
Huang Wen was puzzled.
In fact, in the past few days, the whole of Los Angeles is full of public relations posters for some movies, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is also among them, and there are also people who help wave the flag and shout...
Nonsense, of course you have to do things after receiving money!
“… Didn't you hear from you? I heard that I was eliminated in the second round!"
Xu Hui took off his glasses and looked at Huang Wen suspiciously.
“… Where did you get the grapevine? How do I not know?"
"Didn't Cook Dick tell you? ”
Xu Hui gave him a strange look.
Huang Wen is the chief operating officer of Huiwen World, generally speaking, this kind of thing should be reflected to him first, and then relayed to Xu Hui...
"Maybe he thinks I also have the idea of winning the prize!"
Xu Hui thought of a more reasonable explanation, and then changed the topic: "Does Disney know that we are going to cooperate with Twentieth Century Fox?"
"yes, got it!"
The final negotiations have come out, Li An's "Youth Pi", Huiwen World invested 30 million US dollars, and the income of the film in Greater China belongs to Huiwen World...
"What do they say?"
“… I don't say much, by the way, they want to further strengthen the cooperation..."
“… Don't be official, say, what do they want to do!"
Further strengthen cooperation and carry out good exchanges...
Damn, these are all words in the 'news network'!
"The Chinese market is getting more and more attention from Hollywood, and Disney wants us to use the location to help promote their films..."
"This is the way it should be..."
"On top of that, they want us to fund a couple of films together..."
"Is it their anime?"
"No, it's a live-action movie!"
“… Don't tell me it's a movie like "Alien Battlegrounds"!"
“… No, it seems to be called "The Lone Ranger" and "Tomorrowland"..."
Xu Hui suddenly didn't want to speak!
He knew about these two movies because of the mess of losses.
"The Lone Ranger" set the second loss record in Disney's live-action film history...
almost took all the popularity that Johnny Depp had saved for "Pirates of the Caribbean".
As for Tomorrowland, it's not far behind...
“… Forget it, let's be steady, it's not good for your health to take steps too fast!"
"By the way, you just mentioned Alien Battlefield?
Well, the production cost of "Alien Battlefield" is $250 million, the announcement of a big production with an investment of 100 million US dollars, and a global box office of 283 million...
is not only the most loss-making work in Disney's film history, but even surpasses huge loss-making works such as "Future Water World" and "Cut Throat Island", "Alien Battlefield" brought Disney a huge loss of about 200 million US dollars, becoming Hollywood's "most expensive failure" in recent years.
directly lost the CEO of Disney...
By the way, the two biggest productions in the world in 2012, "Alien Battlefield" and "Super Battleship", both of which lost more than $200 million, have a very magical commonality!
The male lead in both movies is Taylor Ketch!
Tsk, that's awesome!
The first strange person in film history!
