Chapter 720: Super Generous
"The seven-year itch, how to transfer love?"
"On Valentine's Day, go to the theater for a 'love lesson'!"
"A movie that is very happy and enjoyable when you watch it, and a little sad when you think about it after watching it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"In the early hours of yesterday morning, after the release of "Love Call Transfer", it attracted a large number of audiences. In some theaters in Yangcheng, there is even a situation where it is difficult to find a ticket for a zero-point show......"
“…… One of the details I appreciate the most is that Xu Lang's female classmate also threw out the same women's mobile phone at the end. It shows that she has also met angels before, and she has also had N sex encounters that have also been unsuccessful, and she has already seen where she belongs this time.
What's more, this detail permeates the audience with such an awareness: Xu Lang is not a special case, but an ordinary one among N more than one case, and the person who gets this kind of mobile phone is not only him, but also many other people, and it can even be you, it's me, it's him or her......"
"This is an excellent comedy film, and it is rare that there is no regional difference between the north and the south that other comedies have. On the occasion of the beautiful day of Qixi Festival, an excellent comedy movie will be presented to the national audience...... This movie is not only about sexual encounters, but also about the eternal meaning of love......"
On the weekend of Qixi Festival, "Love Call Transfer" became one of the hot spots of public opinion, with many media, film critics, audiences, and ...... The water army, praise each other.
Well, there are different voices as well.
This is a movie suitable for men; the characters shown by the twelve actresses in the film do not match the corresponding zodiac signs; the film lacks coherence after being cut by several short stories, and it is left to watch beautiful women; there are too many product placements in the film......
In any film and television drama, some people like it and some people don't like it, some people applaud and some people scold garbage, it's normal.
How to guide and use the discussion in public opinion is the job responsibility of Liu Xiaoli, the CEO, and Mai Xiaoyu is holding a meeting at the moment - the plenary meeting of the shareholders of Hualong Pictures.
Liu Junhao's efficiency is very fast, on August 18, that is, the day after the release of "Love Call Transfer", he contacted the other six shareholders of Hualong Pictures and CEO Shi Hao on the big weekend to hold a remote network video conference.
In the United States, "This Man is from Earth" has not yet been offline, and the box office has broken through 100 million and has begun to attack the 150 million mark.
In other countries, the film was released in early August, because of the good box office performance in the United States, it was valued by distributors in other countries, and aroused the interest of audiences in other countries.
At present, the total box office results outside the United States have exceeded 30 million.
According to the general rule that the total box office of North America and other countries is close to 1:1, the industry generally expects that the global box office of "This Man is from Earth" has a high probability of exceeding 250 million US dollars, as for the box office of 300 million...... It's more difficult.
Whether it is $250 million or $300 million, the filming cost and selection cost of this film together do not exceed $2 million.
Because it is a domestic film, according to the contract, Meng Ren can only get 16% of the box office share, and most of it falls into the hands of the theater company and Hualong Pictures, an international agent and seller.
This is also a helpless thing, the rules are like this, who made this movie not be released in China?
Hollywood blockbusters in China, regardless of the box office, the producer can only get a dozen points of box office share, and the majority of the money also falls into the hands of Huaxia's distribution companies and theaters.
Liu Junhao was able to organize this remote meeting so quickly, in addition to his connections, but also because of this movie.
I think that at the beginning, when Mai Xiaoyu proposed to shoot this movie, none of them were optimistic.
Now that I heard that Mai Xiaoyu is going to continue to show his strength and make big moves in the United States on the basis of this movie, he naturally attaches great importance to it.
They are all predators, time is precious, except for Liu Junhao, the proposer, who said two opening remarks, the others were not polite, just waiting for Mai Xiaoyu to speak.
As soon as Mai Xiaoyu spoke, they were taken aback.
"I'm going to make three movies next year. ”
Three?
Either don't do it, or do it three!
That's not a small move.
Shi Hao asked: "Mr. Mai, in addition to "Twilight", what are the other two?"
"Alice in Wonderland and The Mirror of Wonderland. ”
The copyrights of these two movies were bought from Disney by Mai Xiaoyu and Shi Hao, and others did not know.
Now I heard Mai Xiaoyu mention that several other people have fried the pot.
"You're going to follow Kung Fu Panda and make an animated movie?"
"Animation effects are our weak point. ”
"What about copyright, Disney and Warner Bros. will agree?"
"How much are you going to invest?"
"Isn't it too much to get three movies at once?"
……
When the discussion was quieter, Mai Xiaoyu coughed lightly and answered everyone's doubts at one time.
"Twilight" is invested and filmed by Hualong Pictures, with the participation of Meng Ren, and the production cost is expected to be about 40 million US dollars. ”
"Last year, I asked someone to buy the rights to "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Wonderland" from Disney...... Well, in the name of Meng Ren, he bought the adaptation rights of the Chinese version. ”
"These two movies are live-action versions, and the future filming will be dominated by cute people. The heroine of the two movies will be starring Liu Yifei from our company, that is, my sister. ”
"In addition, I plan to ask a professional special effects company in the United States to be responsible for the post-production of special effects, with an investment budget of about 100 million US dollars for each film, if you are interested, Hualong Pictures will give priority to participating in the investment ......"
After Mai Xiaoyu finished his words in an orderly manner, the meeting fell into a deep silence, and everyone was thinking deeply.
"Twilight" is good to say, the novel has been selling well for many years, accumulating a large number of fan groups, providing a huge guarantee for the box office. They were willing to accept Luo Xing's saying that one of the reasons for cooperating with Mai Xiaoyu's cute people was because of this.
Hualong Pictures is an American company, invested and filmed by Hualong Pictures, which is a Hollywood movie that can enjoy the box office sharing model of local movies in the United States. The investment of $40 million is not too high, according to the North American box office sharing model, as long as the North American box office exceeds 60 million in the first two weeks, the cost will be recovered.
The problem is with Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Wonderland.
Even if Mengren bought the adaptation rights of the Chinese version, the content of these two movies is a famous Western fairy tale, adapted into a Chinese version, starring Chinese, can the audience accept it?
Just like the traditional Western food hamburger, the Chinese delicacy meat sandwich bun, although the essence is flour and meat, with some vegetables in the middle, the taste is completely different!
What's more, each film invests about 100 million US dollars...... It's 100 million dollars, not 100 million Chinese dollars!
How much does it take at the box office to pay for itself?
If it had been placed before July this year, they would have rejected Mai Xiaoyu's proposal without thinking.
But now it's different, they have just seen Mai Xiaoyu's professionalism, seen the cute golden signboard, and just missed a great opportunity.
Because of his unprofessionalism and lack of enough trust in Mai Xiaoyu, he just missed the movie "This Man is from Earth"; if he rejects "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Wonderland" this time, will he miss the opportunity again?
For a while, everyone fell into deep thought, including Liu Junhao, who knew in advance.
Only Mai Xiaoyu and Shi Hao are exceptions.
The corners of the former's mouth were slightly upturned, and the latter looked at the former through the monitor, his eyes flashing......
