In Odaike's view, in today's Chinese historical blockbusters are gradually spurned by the international market, discovering new themes and cultivating international stars are definitely the two most important things to inspire domestic films, and "Zi Bu Yu" accounts for both, and the story of "Zi Bu Yu" is maverick, unique and sincere in today's Chinese films. He has seen the grand occasion of "Cold Heart" a few days ago, and he has reason to believe that He Mu after "Cold Heart" is absolutely not the same as He Mu before "Cold Heart", if he only had the title of "Chinese Giant Celebrity" before being remembered by Americans, and a Montreal actor was remembered by Canada, then he will definitely become the new spokesperson of Chinese stars in Hollywood, and his self-directed and self-starred "Zi Bu Silent" will definitely rise.

Before He Mu became famous, "One Shot 147" could still have a box office of 3 million US dollars in North America, and after he became famous, the painstaking production of "Zi Bu Yu" must be more worth looking forward to, and in addition to a movie in China that can basically only rely on the box office to recover costs, Japan, the United States, which is not a small box office, DVD, movie channels, website licensing and other derivatives are all important links in the film industry chain, and the value that can be created is no worse than the box office, so "Zi Bu Yu" is still worth betting.

"I'm willing to pay $8 million!" Oda Ikeuchi gritted his teeth, "But I also want copyright in Asian countries other than Chinese mainland and Hong Kong." "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and the copyright of those small Asian countries can still recover some capital.

Jeff once again played the role of spoiler, "I also pay 8 million, and I still only need the copyright of Japan and North America." ”

"You!" Oda Ikechi was a little angry. "Mr. Stark, as far as I know, your Rubik's Cube Pictures has just been established, so I'm afraid you won't be able to come up with the money. And it does not have the ability to distribute overseas. ”

Jeff smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about this, we can't distribute it overseas, we can find other companies to cooperate, I believe it is still profitable, and as for the funds, don't worry, the cooperation between the company's "Cold Heart" and the touchstone distribution company is to share the account, and I believe that the box office share of 8 million US dollars can still be obtained." ”

Jeff mentions "Cold Heart". Xiao Tianchi paused in his heart, if "Cold Heart" became popular in North America, He Mu would definitely become popular in the United States like a rocket. At that time, "Zi Bu Silent" ...... "10 million, I will pay 10 million US dollars!" However, I would like to get the rights to the film in Japan, North America, Latin America and Asia, except for Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. Xiao Tian still wants to spare his head a little, and he is willing to take out such a large sum of money Xiao Tian is very determined, and the copyright of "Ambush on All Sides" in North America and Japan spent more than 20 million. I also feel that I have taken advantage of it. Now I only spend 10 million to win so many areas, but I am still worried that I will suffer, after all, He Mu's lineup is not the same as Lao Mouzi's, and the era is different, the mainland market is developing rapidly, and Chinese films are becoming more and more dependent on the mainland market, but the overseas results are getting worse and worse. Chinese movies are becoming more difficult to sell overseas.

At this time, Jeff winked at He Mu and signaled that he was almost fine. From a $5 million global (excluding the mainland) buyout, to now $10 million is just a copyright transaction in a few regions, the value of "Zi Bu Yu" has more than doubled in just a few minutes, and with this money, He Mu can now directly shoot "Zi Bu Yu" 2 and 3.

He Mu also felt that it was almost over, he had already recovered all the investment, and he had made so much money, it seemed that he had really made a good movie, it seemed that the movie was really a very gold-absorbing industry, but the next moment He Mu changed his mind again.

Zhang Meng just answered a phone call, and then said a few words to He Mu, and then He Mu apologized to Oda Ikenai, "I'm sorry, I decided to keep the copyright in Japan, and I can sell the copyright in most of North America, Latin America and Asia to Sony, for only 5 million." ”

"For what?!"

"Because Zi Bu Yu was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Tokyo International Film Festival in your country, I would like to find a company that is willing to cooperate with our company in Japan on a share-sharing basis and is willing to help promote the film during the festival."

……

He Mu attaches great importance to this year's Toronto Film Festival, he has basically been in Toronto for ten days, not only promoting the Hollywood thriller "Cold Heart" for the first time, promoting and selling the self-directed and self-starred Chinese fantasy film "Zi Bu Silent", but also helping to sell the copyright of "Art School Girls" in several countries, including Japan and South Korea, which can be regarded as a small harvest, Lao Tao is busy filming "Art School Girls 2", naturally he can't come, so he can only do it for him.

This time Toronto did not come in vain, Sony won the copyright of North America, Latin America, and most of Asia at a sky-high price of 5 million US dollars, in He Mu's opinion, and handed over to Sony Classic for distribution, and reached a film account sharing agreement with Sony in Japan, Sony is fully responsible for the publicity and distribution of the film in Japan, including the momentum at the East Film Festival, that is to say, He Mu does not need to invest a penny in Japanese distribution, of course, the corresponding share ratio is much lower, only 25%, This is lower than the minimum 30% share ratio of Hollywood films in Japan.

After leaving Toronto, He Mu did not return to China directly, but went to the United States to visit Doug Murphy, vice president and general manager of the production department of Universal Pictures. Mr. Lawrence, as one of the six major Hollywood studios, Universal Pictures, which owns many blockbuster series such as "The Mummy" and "Fast and Furious", is one of the most powerful companies in Hollywood.

He Mu, who has food in his hands and does not panic, temporarily decided to start the "Big Card" plan in advance in Toronto, which is a comedy, a road movie, and a blood-pumping drag racing film and action movie, and creatively changed the object of drag racing from sports cars to all kinds of trucks, which will be a unique movie, a real big-budget movie. Shuimu Forest alone can't play at all, the production cost is not the main problem, several of the company's films have been box office hits, especially "Zi Bu Silent" has returned to its original cost, there is no need to worry about the problem of money, the biggest problem is the technique, how to make the drag racing movie catch the heart, if the audience's adrenal glands soar through transcendence and impact, how to ensure the safety of the actors during filming, there are too many doorways and too many places to learn.

There are very few teams in China that have the ability to shoot the effect He Mu wants, even if the more successful "Initial D" is only more skilled than enthusiastic, which does not meet He Mu's requirements, if you want to make progress in your own exploration, the price you need to pay is too great, it is better to cooperate with Universal Pictures, which has a lot of experience in shooting this type of film, to do great things at the minimum cost...... (To be continued......)
