Chapter 591: Say it to yourself every time
The third more
"Isn't it? the despicable me I dubbed 2?"
In Fuluo's memory, didn't this animated film enter China in the form of a split-account film, why is Adam Ferguson, the president of Universal, ready to sell him as a batch like the first one, and what is the situation?
"Yes boss, it's that animated movie. Jiang Xiaoyu confirmed.
"You said Adam Ferguson asked for $10 million?" Fu Luo continued.
Then he vaguely remembered that the domestic box office of this despicable me 2 seemed to be only in the early 300 million, and if it cost 10 million US dollars in copyright fees, plus publicity and distribution costs, the final cost would not soar to 100 million yuan.
If everything remains the same in the end, the box office of 300 million will just return to its original cost, so what is he doing with all this effort, isn't he panicked when he is full?
Doing it for nothing just to make money for the world?
Jiang Xiaoyu naturally didn't know Fu Luo's thoughts, so he confirmed again: "Yes, Adam Ferguson offered $10 million. ”
"You say, is this gringo crazy for money?"
Anyway, the four people on the scene were their closest people, and Fu Luo complained without hesitation.
"Uh...... Then are we going to push it off directly?" Fu Luo's reaction really surprised Jiang Xiaoyu, so she tried to ask.
"Push it down to no, pay back the price to the other party first, I think 4 million US dollars can not be more, if the world can't accept it, then just give up, and go to whoever you like. ”
Fu Luo quickly calculated in his heart that if he could win the copyright for 4 million US dollars, he would be able to control the cost at about 50 million yuan, and then the box office of 150 million yuan would be able to return to the cost.
In the end, the net profit should be about $10 million, which is not in vain for the sand dunes to do a lot of work.
"Okay, I'll do what the boss wants. ”
Hearing Fu Luo's thoughts, Jiang Xiaoyu agreed without much hesitation.
…………
At the same time in the United States, while Fu Luo and Jiang Xiaoyu were discussing Despicable Me 2, Universal's president Adam Ferguson was also annoyed by the Despicable Me 2 movie.
If he could, he really wanted to rush into China's "mapp" with a machete and cut it indiscriminately, because he felt that China's "mapp" was not at all commercial principled, and said that the despicable me 2 was not suitable for children to watch.
But why is it that Chinese that Fu Luo can easily take the first despicable me to China for a smooth release.
Originally, Universal wanted to take the second part to mix the quota of the account-sharing film this time, but it was rejected by China's "mapp", and this kind of local protectionism is too obvious, right?
It's just that in the face of this situation, Adam Ferguson has no way, after all, China's "mapp" is the nature of government departments, what can he do, he is also desperate, is it difficult to protest to the other party's foreign ministry?
Therefore, Adam Ferguson can only find Fu Luo in the end, as he was born in a capitalist country since he was a child, as long as there is a trace of profit to be earned, he will not give up easily.
And then because of the despicable me who got more than $30 million at the box office a few years ago, he only sold less than $1.5 million in royalties at that time, so that the board of directors had a lot of opinions about him as a president, and Adam Ferguson of course wanted to make up for it, so he offered a relatively high price.
If Fu Luo is not willing to accept the price of $10 million, he can also go to other Chinese studios, anyway, in the past two years, Chinese studios seem to like to buy everywhere, and he is not afraid of not finding a home at all.
…………
Naturally, Fu Luo didn't know Adam Ferguson's careful thoughts, and then that night, he suddenly received another unexpected phone call, which was called by Michael Bay from the United States.
After a total of ten minutes, Fu Luo was really a little surprised, because Michael Bay actually asked him to recommend a suitable Chinese actress to play the role of Transformers 4, probably because he felt that he, a Chinese, knew the situation best.
In the end, he agreed to this matter, although Transformers 4 was terrible, and Michael Bay was scolded for forcibly implanting a plot related to China in order to please the Chinese audience.
And Michael Bay himself vigorously denied it, and said that the plot was conceived like this a long time ago, but can this person believe his words?
Since I changed 3, I started to say that I wouldn't shoot it, but I still filmed it in 5, which is exactly the same as Cheng Long saying that he would no longer make action movies, and every time he talks seriously, it doesn't count.
It's the same thing as a masturbator.,Every time I say to myself that this is the last shot.,The result is ......
Anyway, the possibility of Qiang Zhi currying favor with the Chinese audience is really high, and it can only be said that Paramount, the producer behind Transformers 4, is really short of money, and he knelt directly in front of the huge Chinese market.
But no matter what, no one can deny the influence of this film in the world, which is a rare opportunity for any Chinese actress.
Then Fu Luo's first thought was naturally the woman or friends who had a relationship with him, these are normal things for people, and there seems to be nothing strange about it.
Gao Yuanyuan in this is definitely not very suitable, English is a hard injury, not to speak, coupled with the personal temperament of Qiqi Ma, it is really not suitable for a movie like Transformers 4, so she was the first to be excluded.
And Zhang Zilin's English is actually good, not to mention how good it is, but the daily communication is still no problem, but she doesn't have much acting experience, and she also has a lot of flaws, so she can be put on the candidate list first.
Then, Liu Yifei's English is also very good, after all, he has lived in the United States for a few years, and then he doesn't talk about whether his acting skills are good or not, he still has a lot of experience in filming for so many years, and he can also be put on the shortlist
As for Fan Bingbing, his English is really a bit bad, and this woman is unwilling to precipitate well, if she wants to speak English well, she will not be able to speak English well in her life, and she is really not as good as Li Lianhua in this regard.
In addition, the amount of character lines in Transformers 4 this time is not small, and Fan Bingbing can only be excluded, which is probably the lack of self-condition, and no one seems to be able to help too much except for himself.
And other actresses who have a good relationship, such as Yang fans and the like, uh...... It also seems that there is no suitable candidate.
Zhang Jingchu and Tang Wei are barely okay, but they are not familiar with him, and Fu Luo has no reason to be a good person.
In the end, after thinking about it, he found that Zhang Zilin and Liu Yifei were more suitable, and he really couldn't make up his mind about which one to choose for a while, so he could only wait to go back and test the personal opinions of the two of them.
