Chapter 660: Working with Lionsgate

York's face was full of surprise, and he secretly said in his heart that this is 89 million yuan, and they just took it out?

In North America, it can be regarded as a medium-sized film with a production cost of more than 30 million dollars for 10 million US dollars, which is ridiculous for a foreign language film. 【】

Yes, Miramax used to spend so much money on the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but that was after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?

Could it be that this Gu Xiaofan thinks that he is more powerful than Ang Lee?

York looked at Gu Xiaofan suspiciously, wondering if this little director was deliberately teasing himself?

But when Gu Xiaofan directly transferred the money into the account of the insurance company as an intermediary on the spot, and let York see it, the Lionsgate distribution manager was really sure that Gu Xiaofan was crazy.

Does this little director really feel that he can be as invincible in the North American market as he is in China?

"Wait...... Look at...... Director Gu, I'll make a phone call to contact the company's senior management first. York looked slightly flustered, this is too much.

"Okay, please." Gu Xiaofan said.

York made a phone call directly to Hasson's side and explained the situation to him.

"Mr. Hasson, do you mean that they are spending so much money on publicity?"

If Hasen's side disagrees, York will not dare to take on this distribution project, no matter how bold he is......

"Is he willing to pay $13 million for publicity?" When Husson received the call, he also pondered for a while before he smiled:

"Isn't it great, York, to receive this project, just the commission is enough for you to pay two years of commission, right?"

"You mean, I can pick it up?" York's eyes lit up.

"Of course, why not?" Hasen said with a smile, he knew in his heart that Gu Xiaofan didn't just care about the box office, but wanted to create a momentum and show his strength to him.

It doesn't matter whether "The Undertaker" can achieve a box office of 34 million US dollars, the important thing is that it can be seen by more audiences and create a public opinion advantage for the Oscar judges.

At the same time, you can also show your strength to Warner's wait-and-see shareholders who are still suspicious of Gu Xiaofan.

Hasen couldn't help but smile even more happily when he thought of this, this little Chinese director is really interesting.

Hanging up the phone, York happily agreed to Gu Xiaofan's conditions, and at the same time brought the project to Lionsgate's senior management for review as quickly as possible.

Lionsgate's executives were amazed and at the same time, they all felt that they had caught a fat sheep this time.

On the project "The Undertaker", they don't need to use a piece of money, as long as they contribute manpower and channels, even if they don't expect to get much at the box office, but just with a commission of 20% on publicity, they can earn 2.6 million US dollars.

It's a pie-in-the-sky project!

But think about it at this time, with such a high investment in publicity, this is the standard of $2,500 for a single screen...... It shouldn't be too much of a problem, and it's a win-win situation.

After Chen Keer handled the contract with Lionsgate, she also began to officially join the Black Feather Studio, and her addition made the Black Feather Studio, which was originally a little chaotic internally, look new.

After the successful acquisition of Hummingbird Music, which belongs to Deng Ziqi, Black Feather Studios now has a team of more than 100 people, including film and television, music, post-production, and media promotion.

Chen Keer was surprised to find that although Black Feather Studio was only a first-class production company, it was flourishing.

In addition to the blood relationship with Shanghai Film Group, it is a strategic partner with CCTV, Zhejiang, and Phoenix TV stations, and at the same time, in terms of structure, Sina, Wanda, and Huawei also have a very strong complementary relationship with Black Feather Studio.

Sina's Weibo is in full swing, Huawei's Honor mobile phone is developing rapidly in the smartphone market at home and abroad, and Wanda's theaters are expanding rapidly, which is actually inextricably linked to Gu Xiaofan every step of the way.

These events seem to be scattered and irregular, and Gu Xiaofan seems to be doing all kinds of things without doing his business properly, but now that he looks at it as a whole, he finds that these sporadic small events are forming an invisible behemoth...... It seems to be growing vigorously.

At this time, Gu Xiaofan was also starting to carry out his next plan, he called Chen Ke'er to the office, asked her to sit down, and said with a smile:

"Miss Kerr, you've been working hard lately, do you want to drink something, coffee or coke?"

Chen Ke'er frowned slightly, glanced at him and said, "Can you change your name, what is 'eldest miss', I am not a eldest lady." ”

"Okay." Gu Xiaofan thought to himself, we are all so familiar with each other, and we are good partners, we can't always call you 'Miss Chen', and it seems too rusty to call Manager Chen, so I thought about it for a while, why not:

"That'...... That's called Sister Kerr? ”

Chen Ke'er listened to her chest sullen, she has grown so big, she has heard countless words of praise, and various nicknames, and foreigners in Europe call her 'Venus', 'Muse' and other goddesses, how did she become "big sister" when she came to Gu Xiaofan?

This "eldest lady" removed the small word in the middle, although it is not so weird, but it is even more unacceptable to Chen Keer.

Gu Xiaofan saw that her delicate little face was a little pale, and immediately said in embarrassment: "Look, I can't call you 'Miss', this title is also ambiguous in the mainland, and it is not suitable...... It's too ambiguous to call you 'Kerr' directly. ”

Chen Ke'er listened to the little face, which was red and white for a while, and finally said helplessly: "Then you call Gao Yuanyuan Sister Yuanyuan, call Liu Shishi Sister Shi, I am older than you, you can also call me sister." ”

"Okay then." Gu Xiaofan listened helplessly and handed Chen Ke'er a cup of coffee and said, "Sister Ke'er, your coffee." ”

Chen Ke'er just took a sip of coffee, and almost didn't spit it out directly when she heard this title, and said slightly angrily: "Why do you call it overlapping words...... Sister...... That's it...... Just one word. ”

"That's not going to work." Gu Xiaofan said with a straight face: "The meaning of a single 'sister' is different, how to say that there are some other meanings in it...... And my sister is my sister...... This title is more sacred. ”

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he said it, his name is Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Shishi is a sister, but the relationship between them and these two people is a 'special' relationship, if he wants him to call Chen Keer 'sister' again, this has been called for a long time, I'm afraid that it won't be confused......

Gu Xiaofan drew a line in his heart, Miss Chen has someone in her heart, so we must not be a bad thing to dig into the corner of the wall
