Chapter 132 Issuance
"Overseas distribution?" Hearing Wang Shicong mention this, Gu Wenwu suddenly stopped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although "The Great Detective" is already making a lot of money in China alone, who would think that he makes a lot of money. In addition, it is also of great benefit to yourself to distribute the film overseas. Gu Wenwu naturally would not refuse such a thing.
"What, is there anything special about this overseas release?" Gu Wenwu asked. If it was a normal situation, Wang Shicong would not specifically mention it.
"In fact, it is still a matter of sharing and buyout, the results of "The Great Detective" are too good, so it would be too much of a loss if it was bought out, so when I talked to foreign companies, I insisted on sharing, and then the negotiation situation was deadlocked, and these companies decided to send a few representatives to visit the site." Wang Shicong said.
"Field trips, that's kind of interesting." Gu Wenwu said. "Doesn't that mean there's going to be a movie show?"
"That's still natural, maybe you'll have to attend then." Wang Shicong said.
"Which companies are coming?" Gu Wenwu asked.
"They are all companies that have worked with us before, such as Searchlight in the United States, Ranke in Britain, Sinas in Italy, Hushet Film in Germany and Europa Pictures in France." Wang Shicong said. The global market is so large, it is naturally impossible to take into account, so it can only be said that we can try to choose some large markets and strive to maximize benefits.
"The buyout is really a loss, this was the case with "The Hangover" last time, in short, when the time comes, they are willing to send someone to come, which shows that they still attach great importance to "The Great Detective". Gu Wenwu said.
"You can rest assured about this, it's a big deal to change a partner, without Zhang Butcher, don't you eat hairy pigs?" Wang Shicong said.
A few days later, foreign representatives came as scheduled, and Gu Wenwu also met with these representatives at Wanda Entertainment Company. A total of five companies sent representatives, and the number of representatives from each company varied, for example, the Italian company sent only two people, while the United States searchlight company sent four people.
These delegates all spoke Chinese, some spoke very well, others with strange accents. This is because considering that they want to watch the film, Gu Wenwu naturally won't say that they deliberately dubbed or subtitled because of them, after all, there are five companies, and they come from different countries and speak different languages.
"This is Mr. Wang Shicong, the president of our company, and this is Mr. Gu Wenwu, the owner of Wenwu Studio, and also the director of the film, Mr. Wang, Mr. Gu, these are the representatives of the United States Searchlight Company, Mars Furding, Arnold White, ......" The staff on the side introduced each other to several people, Gu Wenwu and Wang Shicong also shook hands with these representatives one by one, and kept saying hello.
"Gu, I finally saw you, my name has been admired for a long time." As the decision-maker of this representative, Mars held Gu Wenwu's hand and spoke authentic rice-style Chinese.
"Mr. Mars is so polite." Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, everyone loved to listen to the scene.
Then Gu Wenwu found that not only Mars, but also the decision-makers of each company's representatives were very enthusiastic about him, which made him feel strange in his heart. When did I become a sweetheart?
"We already know the meaning of your visit, and I believe you have learned about "The Great Detective" through various channels, and even some of you have already seen it, but since we have to make the most comprehensive assessment, then we should let everyone see how this movie is, so we have prepared a screening room for you, you can go there to watch this movie, after all, now that the movie has been drawn, you can't see it in the theater." Wang Shicong said.
What he said was in line with the hearts of the people. The reason why they came to the Great Xia Kingdom was not to see with their own eyes what this movie was like. Although the person in charge of their branch in the Great Xia Kingdom praised this movie to the sky, in the movie of the Great Xia Fire, it is not necessarily the case in their own country, and it is common for them to be unadaptable. After all, audiences in various countries have different viewing habits, tastes, concepts and other aspects.
Under the leadership of Wang Shicong, the group came to the screening room that had been prepared long ago. Everything was ready in the screening room, and when everyone was seated, Wang Shicong nodded to the projectionist on the side, and the film was officially presented a few moments later.
Unlike the Great Xia Kingdom, although the number of detective films in Europe and the United States is not large every year, there is a great market for mystery novels. Especially in the United States and Britain, there are many excellent mystery novelists, and there are many more readers of mystery novels than in Daxia. Therefore, as a detective film with the same line of mystery novels, it is so popular in Great Xia, so these companies attach so much importance to this movie.
The evaluation of the film is undoubtedly the most important part of the field trip. At the beginning of the movie, the representatives of each company quickly got into the mood, took out the paper and pen that had been prepared from their pockets, and recorded while watching, without blinking their eyes, and from time to time exchanged opinions with their companions.
Gu Wenwu and Wang Shicong naturally wouldn't watch a movie there with them, and it would be too stupid to sit there for more than an hour. The two of them drank tea in the living room, read magazines, and chatted, but they were also at ease.
Nearly an hour and a half passed quickly. Representatives of several major companies returned to the reception room, and the expressions on their faces were the same, as if they hadn't seen them. These are mall veterans, and if you can tell anything from his face, then don't mess around.
"How do you feel about watching the movie?" Wang Shicong asked with a smile.
"I have to say, you Gu is so amazing, I have never seen a rookie director like you." Brighton, the leader of the British Ranks' representatives, looked admiring. He is an out-and-out mystery novel fan, and spends most of his spare time reading detective novels, and he loves the logical and meticulous reasoning of mystery novels. And now, after watching "The Great Detective", he has been completely impressed by Fu Mo's deduction.
"Mr. Brighton has won an award, and it's really an honor for you to like my film." Gu Wenwu said.
Not only Brighton, but other representatives also expressed their love for the film. But when Wang Shicong mentioned negotiations, they unanimously said that they wanted to spend more time on the inspection, and there was no hurry to negotiate.
"A bunch of old foxes." Seeing off these representatives, the smile on Wang Shicong's face was immediately put away.
"Haha, how can you say that people are also old rivers and lakes, how can it be so easy for you to see the hole cards." Gu Wenwu said.
"They want to dry me, but I want to see who's in a hurry." Wang Shicong said.
"That's right, now we're the one who takes the initiative." Gu Wenwu said.
He believes that after watching the movie, these people are still acting like this, and they must be just disguises. If you show a strong interest in negotiations, you will definitely fall behind in the next negotiations. However, since the two of them have insight into the minds of these people, will they still let them get their wish?
Well, it's already so late in the first chapter, and I don't know when the second chapter will be, and I feel a little sleepy now.
