Among them is Hollywood's adventure blockbuster of the same genre, Atlantis!

Ye Qiu once had the myth of "Buried Alive" in North America, and "Transformers" was selling well overseas, so Dianjin Film and Television still has a little popularity among overseas film companies.

With the rush of tomb robbery in China, some overseas filmmakers have also set their sights on "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon".

North American Jushi Pictures can be said to be more famous in the Chinese film and television industry than those Hollywood giants, not because Jushi Pictures is strong, but because Jushi Pictures has a deep relationship with the Chinese film and television industry.

It can be said that almost half of the movies released in North America in China are related to Jushi Pictures.

Of course, Jushi Pictures also has a mixed reputation in the Chinese film and television industry.

Jushi Pictures' business philosophy is very special, they don't make any big productions themselves, but specialize in small and medium-sized costs, and the output is not much, but Jushi Pictures has a good distribution channel in North America, and Jushi Pictures' film companies travel to major independent film festivals around the world, specializing in the introduction of foreign films as the core.

The reason why it is said that the reputation is mixed is because Jushi Pictures is very good at cheating people.

Many film and television companies in China have been cheated by Jushi Pictures, but there are still many film and television companies that are still happy to be pitted by Jushi Pictures.

Arenas, the founder of Jushi Pictures, was once regarded as a "savior" by many people in China, but now, many Chinese film companies will angrily scold Arenas of Jushi Pictures when they mention Arenas of Jushi Pictures. ”

The reason why Arenas is mentioned is because Jushi Pictures has recently been very interested in Dianjin Film and Television's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", and is in contact with Dianjin Film and Television, hoping to cooperate with Dianjin Film and Television on the North American distribution of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon".

I don't know much about Ye Qiu of Jushi Pictures, or rather, the current Ye Qiu doesn't know much about most Hollywood companies.

When chatting with Feng Gang, Ye Qiu mentioned Jushi Pictures, but Ye Qiu didn't expect Feng Gang's reaction to be so big.

"Boulder Pictures?Arenas?" Feng Gang asked.

"Well, it seems that it is, it is Fang Yibai who is currently in contact with the other party, what's the matter?, you know this Giant Stone Pictures very well?" Ye Qiu was puzzled.

"No, I don't know anything about Boulder Pictures, but I know this Arenas very well, this guy is a liar!" Feng Gang said disdainfully.

"What do you say?" Ye Qiu was a little gossipy, listening to Feng Gang's tone, there was a story in it.

"You don't know?" Feng Gang asked as he looked at Ye Qiu with a surprised expression.

"Should I know?" Ye Qiu was also at a loss.

"Actually, this matter is not a secret in the circle, anyway, that guy is an out-and-out liar. You have to be careful, don't be fooled by the other party. Feng Gang said angrily.

"What do you say?" Ye Qiu became more and more interested.

"I have made a 'Palace' before, you know?" Feng Gang asked.

Ye Qiu nodded, "The Palace" can be said to be Feng Gang's transformation work, but it is a pity that this film finally hit the street, and it also made Feng Gang completely die of "literature and art" and concentrate on commercial films.

"At the beginning, when this Arenas was filming in "The Court", he came to the door and said that he wanted to buy the distribution rights in North America, you know, at that time, our film market in China was not so prosperous, and our films, the big studios in North America couldn't look at them, so they often couldn't sell at a good price. ”

"Arenas was buying out the distribution rights in North America for $5 million at the beginning, you know, but the production cost of "Palace" was less than $10 million, but at that time, it was already a big production in China. ”

"5 million US dollars? That's very sincere, right? I remember that Huaguo's movies don't seem to have more than 50 million US dollars at the box office in North America, right?" Ye Qiu was a little puzzled.

"It's not much, but there are only 2 Chinese movies that have grossed more than 50 million US dollars in North America, but that's just an example, and when it comes to this, I have to say that Jushi Pictures, these 2 and two movies are operated by Jushi Pictures in North America, so at that time, Jushi Pictures was once called the 'savior' by Chinese filmmakers. Feng Gang touched his somewhat bald head and said.

"5 million US dollars, it is indeed very sincere, or rather, it is already a very high price, I was a little flattered at the time, but I was a little high-spirited at that time, so I felt that my movie was worth the price. Feng Gang said again.

"Then how can you say that he is a liar?" Ye Qiu was even more puzzled.

Two Chinese films have been successful in North America, one of the most recent films, "Assassination of Qin", the performance of the court scene in it, has been unanimously praised in North America, and because of this, after "Assassin Qin", North American film companies began to introduce some Chinese films about the ancient court, although there are no very good results, but they also have good performance. ”

Because of this, I believed the other party, Arenas was very sincere at the time, and before the film was finished, he directly left a deposit of 200,000 US dollars, and other filmmakers saw the price of 5 million US dollars, so it was naturally impossible to grab Arenas. ”

"Isn't that great?" Ye Qiu became more and more puzzled.

"Hehe, yes, if you really sell the North American distribution rights for 5 million US dollars, of course it is very good, you must know that if you want to get a profit share of 500 US dollars in North America, the box office must reach at least 30 million US dollars to be able to do it, of course, this 5 million US dollars, including the distribution of video tapes in North America and so on. ”

"So this number is really sincere, even crazy, but when the movie is finished, guess what?" Feng Gang looked at Ye Qiu and asked.

"What's the matter, he doesn't want it?" Ye Qiu asked.

"But isn't it? We are preparing for a global simultaneous release, but when we found Arenas, he said, don't want it, ask for a return, but at this time, it's too late to sell it to others, if Arenas, the person who was originally interested, releases the news that he is not optimistic, then no one will want it at all. Feng Gang was a little annoyed when he mentioned this.

"What happened later?" Ye Qiu asked again.

"Later, after waiting for a while, we were also anxious, although it has always been difficult to sell at a good price in the North American market, but the distribution rights, including videotapes, how can a film like "The Palace" be sold for two or three million dollars, in fact, the North American film companies that were interested in this film earlier offered a price of almost more than 2 million. ”

As a result, Arenas showed up again and said that he could, but he could only pay $800,000, and it was up to us whether he could sell it or not. ”

"Then you accept it?" Ye Qiu was surprised.

"What can I do if I don't accept it? If I don't accept it, I can only take the $200,000 deposit, and in the end, when it comes to $1 million, he refuses to increase the price. Feng Gang said with an indignant face.

"Although the box office of "The Palace" in North America did not have 30 million, it also had a box office of nearly 20 million, even if it was a 15% share, it was at least 3 million US dollars, plus the videotape was at least a million US dollars, but we had to sell it for 1 million US dollars. So this person, when talking about cooperation with him, you must be careful, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" should not lack interest from filmmakers now, so if you can not look for him, don't look for him, save being pitted. Feng Gang persuaded.
