Chapter 101: The Next Plan

There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and as long as there are rivers and lakes, then there will never be a shortage of topics in this river and lake, and it will never be lonely.

Before the advent of the millennium, on the Hollywood blockbuster list, there were many heroes and heroes such as "The Mummy", "Star Wars Prequel 1: Phantom Crisis", "Tarzan of the Apes", "Ace Spy", etc., all of whom are performing their own wonderful and good shows, but the most legendary ones must be "Star Wars" and "Hacker"!

Although Lucas, the "father of Star Wars", is here, Star Wars has long been a legend, and there are no novelties and accidents. "The Mummy" has the temperament of a blockbuster series, but it does not have the topicality and trend of "Hackers". But if you talk about this short period of more than a month, who is the most famous and who is the most sharp, there is only one person - Chen Tiandu!

If domestic radio and television want to introduce "The Matrix", it is to find Chen Tiandu directly through the relationship, and Chen Tiandu is also desperate. Kong Yiji was directly dispatched to negotiate with them in person. "Lao Kong, you take it easy in this regard, try to meet what they want, whether it's editing or copying, in short, let me get the relationship network."

Kong Yiji disagreed, "The domestic box office, as for it." "The box office has risen again and again, and even he is a little fluttering, and he still looks down on people.

"As for!"

Chen Tiandu glared and said affirmatively: "Don't be careless, you kid. No matter how little the box office is, it's money, after all, it's my home base, and if we can't get along in Hollywood one day, we at least have a nest to retreat from. And the fans are slowly cultivated, can you guarantee that there will be no day when domestic movies will rise in the future. ”

Kong Yiji said: "Okay, I will be responsible for it myself." I'm not good at making movies, I'm the best at dealing with officials, and I make sure they drink well. Warner and DreamWorks' overseas travel channels, I have figured out the best of the best, and some companies are also willing to sign contracts with us. I reckon that with a few more lucrative deals, this overseas trip should be established. ”

Chen Tiandu nodded with satisfaction, this guy drank much more than him, and it had been tested in actual combat on countless wine tables before. And he is good at communicating, and he can rest assured that he will hand over the domestic business and the company's business department.

The mobile phone in his pocket rang suddenly, Chen Tiandu took it out and saw that the caller was actually Jeffrey Katzenberg, everyone was busy after the movie was released, they hadn't been in touch for a long time, Chen Tiandu answered the call, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Hello, Mr. Katzenberg......"

"Hey Chen, long time no see, how's it going?" Jeffrey's laughter rang out on his phone. Chen Tiandu couldn't help laughing and said, "Very good, it's a good time." My films are selling well, and my overseas work has expanded to nearly 40 countries and regions, so there is no danger of losing money. After laughing for a while, Chen Tiandu asked directly: "Mr. Katzenberg, is there something wrong?" ”

Jeffrey now regrets a little, including DreamWorks, when Chen Tiandu came to the door, they shouldn't have given away this gold brick. Now that it's in Warner, the profit is half less. And the most important thing is that the filming rights of the sequel of the movie are still in the hands of Chen Tiandu, which is the most important thing for the two companies. Looking at the current movie, Jeffrey couldn't help but imagine that if he enthusiastically wanted to cooperate with Chen Tiandu and launch "The Matrix" as a sole proprietor, then now, DreamWorks will add a new blockbuster series.

Fortunately, they didn't turn it away and still got involved.

replied with a smile: "Chen, I'm here to tell you that the DVD of "The Sixth Sense" is officially available, and the first issue is selling well. Moreover, the number of borrowers this year has climbed to 750,000 times, and it is estimated that the total number of borrowings will exceed 9ooo million times throughout the year, ranking firmly as the annual champion. ”

"Wow, that's a great thing." Chen Tiandu secretly pondered to himself, plus the on-demand cost of the TV station, he conservatively estimated that he could still earn about 4ooo US dollars from "The Sixth Sense" this year, just to alleviate the embarrassment of his empty pocket, "So, I hope to settle the share of the first half of the year, is it okay?" ”

"Of course, it's your right." Jeffrey said, "I'm coming to you to ask about the development of "The Matrix" peripheral products, and we should be looking for partners in the copyright of "The Matrix" clothes, toys and other peripheral copyrights. You know, Steven doesn't want to mess with too much business stuff, and you Matrix don't have a lot of experience. If you don't have a plan, DreamWorks can contact the company to open it earlier. And I think "The Matrix" could be a cartoon, what do you think? ”

Of course, Chen Tiandu knew the benefits, but the matrix had not been created for a long time, and he really didn't have so much energy. He could only explain briefly, and then go back and let Peck talk to them.

"Chen, listen to Steven, do you have a plan for the next movie?" Jeffrey suddenly said, "Can we continue to work together?" ”

"The next movie? Well, there are indeed plans. But Mr. Katzenberg, I'm afraid DreamWorks didn't have much interest in it, because it didn't invest more than 1ooo million, and it was a foreign language film, and he was filmed in China. Chen Tiandu shook his head and said, "The Matrix" is still in the release stage, and there are new promotional activities overseas, and many affairs need him to participate in and deal with, how can he have time to deal with the next movie?

And...... Chen Tiandu exhaled and said apologetically: "Jeffrey, in the past two years, I have hardly stopped working, and I have been busy every day. Even the last time I took a vacation, I let Kate go alone, I should give myself a vacation, spend time with my girlfriend, and then walk around the world to see ......"

"Well, if you need to cooperate, I hope DreamWorks will be your first choice." After chatting for a while, he hung up.

The third week of August, which is also the third week of "The Matrix", some people are happy and some are sad.

Even though the craze of "The Matrix" is fading, it is still among the top three in the top 12 box office.

This week, the new film Will Smith, Kenneth Bryner, Salma Hayek's sci-fi comedy "Hurricane" starring "Hurricane Warriors" was released, which became a box office relay, and Tom Hanks's Olympic masterpiece "Miracle in the Green Mile" is a box office hit.

Under the impact of such a new film, "The Runaway Bride" fell out of the top eight this week, but Julia Roberts is undoubtedly the most dazzling actress of the year.

"Blair the Witch" also fell out of the top 12, and "The Matrix" fell by 55% at the end of three days this week, and also collected another $2.34 million, second only to "Hurricane Cop" to occupy a role model position, and the cumulative revenue in a week was $38.85 million, and the North American box office reached $188.23 million, and the $200 million threshold can be successfully broken before entering September.

And the overseas box office did not suddenly shine until this week. The response from overseas was slightly slower than that from the United States, and it gradually caused a boom in movie-watching at this time. Since last week, "The Matrix" has been featured in Europe, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and other places, and this unique sci-fi action blockbuster has lived up to expectations and immediately set off a new movie-watching craze around the world.

That's nearly 7.25 million U.S. dollars a week, reaching a box office score of 12,960 million, which is a real dollar. In this way, the overseas box office accumulated to 2o, 21o dollars. The biggest contributor to the overseas box office this week is still Japan.

Chen Tiandu was a little puzzled, the Japanese actually admired this Chinese kung fu movie so much, maybe they could find the spirit of bushido in it.

In this way, the global box office of the film has accumulated to 39,000 o330,000 dollars. Thanks to the momentum and popularity in North America, the box office of the movie is much better than the original.
