Listening to Feng Gang's words, Ye Qiu nodded noncommittally. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"With the current topic of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Searching for the Dragon", as well as the gold fever set off by the previous "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City", I think that it is completely possible not to choose to sell out, isn't there that "Atlantis" is very good at the box office in North America? Isn't your film used by them to hype up the Chinese version of Raiders of the Lost Ark? I think that you can try to find a Hollywood film company to do the distribution, with the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Quest for the Dragon" in China, as well as the topicality, I believe that the share will not be less than 20%. Feng Gang suggested.

Ye Qiu asked rhetorically: "You have also watched the sample film of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", do you think this film has been accepted by the North American audience?"

"This should be no problem, right? Although there are a lot of Chinese elements involved, the main line is still very clear. Feng Gang was stunned for a moment and then said.

Ye Qiu shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about the domestic box office at all, on the contrary, I still have great expectations, but I am not worried about the foreign box office, Southeast Asia, after all, they are all radiation areas of Greater Chinese culture, but North America, to be honest, I don't have any expectations at all." ”

Ye Qiu didn't say it casually, but in fact he thought so, don't look at the same adventure films, but "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" can be said to have very unique Chinese cultural elements throughout the text, and these, Ye Qiu found it hard to believe that those foreigners could understand it.

And in the previous life, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" has proved this, and in China, it can be said that this film has killed all sides and broken several records, but in North America, it can only be hehe.

"Not really, right?" Feng Gang frowned.

"This is a lesson from the past, like the black hoof, the ghost gate, the other side of the flower, these things, you think foreigners can figure out what they are? ”

Moreover, it can be said that almost all of the protagonists and supporting roles in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" are Chinese, on the contrary, the villains are from North America, so it can be said that they will naturally be rejected. ”

"So I'm not optimistic about the North American market for this film. Ye Qiu finally concluded.

Therefore, if you want to enter the North American market, to be honest, some Chinese elements can only be interspersed in it step by step, and cannot become the main line, because even if you want them to accept it, there must be a process, so films like "Transformers" that do not have too many traditional Chinese cultural elements have a simple and crude plot, which is more in line with the taste of foreigners. ”

"As for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Searching for the Dragon", forget it. ”

……

"Ye Dong, this is Arenas of North American Megalith Pictures, Mr. Arenas, this is Mr. Ye Qiu, the boss of this Golden Film and Television. ”

"MR Ye, Transformers toys are so cool, and both of my sons are big Transformers fans. Arenas said enthusiastically as soon as he came up.

"Thank you! To Mr. Arenas, I have long admired the great name. Ye Qiu also said with a smile.

"MR Ye, you are such a genius, it is hard to imagine that you are not only so successful in business, but also able to write wonderful works like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in literary creation. It's unbelievable. Arenas slapped Ye Qiu's ass, obviously studying Ye Qiu's information.

"Mr. Arenas, it's over. Please!" Ye Qiu made a gesture of please.

After the three of them sat down, Arenas said: "Ye, I am very optimistic about the prospects of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", Giant Stone Pictures has good distribution channels and experience in operating Chinese films in North America, and Giant Stone Pictures has released the only two films that have achieved a box office of more than 50 million US dollars in Hollywood, so Giant Rock Pictures will definitely be the best choice for the North American market of Dianjin Film and Television." ”

"Then Mr. Arenas, tell me about your conditions. Ye Qiu was noncommittal.

Arenas's voice stopped suddenly, he didn't expect Ye Qiu to want to make his own price as soon as he came up.

Thinking of Ye Qiu's series of deeds, Arenas also became serious, he didn't underestimate Ye Qiu, Arenas did fool many Chinese film and television companies, but this time, he was really interested in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Because "Atlantis" has achieved a very good box office in North America, it has once again triggered a boom in adventure movies.

This is also the reason why he is interested in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon".

"If "Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Dragon's Quest" hands over the North American distribution to Jushi Pictures, we will only take 20% of the North American box office and the North American distribution rights of the videotape as distribution costs, and Jushi Pictures can pay for the upfront distribution costs such as publicity and marketing, and will be prioritized from the box office after the film is released in North America. ”

"Secondly, we at Jushi Pictures will get the first round of test screenings of no less than 100 screens for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon......"

It can be said that the cooperation conditions proposed by Arenas are not bad, which is basically equivalent to Dianjin Film and Television being able to get about 20% of the share, of course, after deducting the advance publicity and marketing expenses, it may not reach this number, but if the movie performs well, then it may also exceed this number.

For a Chinese film, this is already a very good treatment.

After Arenas finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qiu confidently, in his opinion, it was impossible for Ye Qiu to be dissatisfied with such conditions.

But what made Arenas depressed was that after Ye Qiu heard this, he smiled, but shook his head.

Arenas frowned and said, "Ye, this is already a very good condition for cooperation, I believe that no one can offer better conditions than our Giant Stone Pictures." ”

Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Mr. Arenas, to be honest, before I came to see you, I once talked to an old friend about you, and the answer I got was very unfavorable to you. ”

Arenas's face changed and before Arenas could speak, Ye Qiu continued: "Mr. Arenas, there is no need to explain, there are some things that I don't have to find out, so, Mr. Arenas, I'm sorry, with your past behavior of Giant Stone Pictures, it's hard for me to believe you." ”

Mr. Ye ...... This ......" Fang Yibai on the side was also a little confused.

Arenas frowned and said: "Ye, I admit that when we cooperated with some Chinese film and television companies, we did use some commercial means to make the other party have a bad impression of us, but those were some necessary commercial means, and this time our Jushi Pictures is very sincere, all the terms of cooperation can be written into the contract, and it is impossible for us to do anything that violates the contract." ”

Ye Qiu looked at Arenas and smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arenas, it is impossible for the contract to be perfect, especially Mr. Arenas, you don't seem to have violated the contract before, right?"

"But maybe we can work together in a different way. Ye Qiu said with a smile when Arenas changed his face and was about to speak.
