【Drunken Pillow Xiangjiang】Welcome to the 296774999 of the bar friends-
Red blood seeped through cracks in the floor into the coffin sealed underground, and the sleeping zombie suddenly opened its eyes, and the scene froze.
The ups and downs of the plot and the excellent special effects made everyone forget that this was a two-hour movie, and at the end of the film, most of the audience still had an unfinished expression on their faces.
Several leading actors performed very well in the film, and Zhen Zidan and the second-generation zombie leader of the Jiangchen clan had a very exciting fight at the end of the film, but these could not hide Zhong Chuhong's wonderful beauty in this film.
As soon as I think back to this movie, everyone will immediately think of her one-piece black tights, the reflective effect of the rubber material makes this dress look more shiny in the picture, like a layer of skin, making the characters more vivid, coupled with Zhong Chuhong's own devilish figure and agile skills in the film, making her image more charming.
In the film, Zhong Chuhong's pale complexion forms a strong contrast with the black tights and unkempt hair, and the two colors with the greatest contrast between black and white are skillfully integrated, making her look both capable and feminine as an actress.
Most of the filmmakers present today are filmmakers in the circle, and Zhong Chuhong's character style makes them all praise, let alone ordinary audiences.
As soon as the movie ended, some people came around to congratulate Zhong Chuhong, and some people even made an appointment directly, when Lin Youlun came over, she was surrounded by a group of people, and she was so busy that she could hardly get out.
Lin Youlun was about to go over, but he met several acquaintances.
"Mr. Pan is going to leave?"
Lin Youlun took the initiative to greet with a smile on his face, and Pan Disheng was unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't just brush his sleeves away.
"What advice does Mr. Lin have?" His tone was cold, and his speech was also cold.
The smile on Lin Youlun's face did not decrease, "Mr. Pan is the big boss of Debao. I'd like to ask you to rate this movie. ”
The corners of Pan Disheng's mouth twitched involuntarily, and his eyes were gloomy. said coldly: "There's nothing to say, I hope you can keep laughing like this, and don't cry one day!" ”
After Pan Disheng left, Cen Jianxun followed him to Lin Youlun, arched his hand and said: "Mr. Lin has good means and good skills, and it is indeed gratifying to shoot such a masterpiece." ”
Lin Youlun returned the salute with a smile, "It's my honor to be able to enter Mr. Cen's eyes." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Cen Jianxun was afraid that Pan Di would misunderstand. only dealt with Lin Youlun casually. Then he took his leave and left.
After watching the movie, Yang Ziqiong originally had many questions in her heart that she wanted to ask Lin Youlun, but Pan Disheng and Cen Jianxun were gone, and it was inconvenient for her to stay longer, so she could only say goodbye to Lin Youlun in a hurry.
Wang Jing looked at Yang Ziqiong's back. joked Lin Youlun and said: "You snatched the theater that Pan Disheng was determined to win, and then abducted the woman that Pan Disheng had been pursuing for a long time, do you think he would be so angry that he vomited blood?" ”
For this fat man who suddenly came out of his side, Lin Youlun was really speechless, "Please, I only met her for the first time today, okay?" ”
"So you haven't even seen her face, so designate her as the heroine, don't tell me there's no inside story here, I won't believe it!"
"Xiaoxian is gone?" Lin Youlun didn't bother to explain. Then he asked about other things.
Wang Jing shrugged, "She left with Doudou only halfway through the movie." ”
"She doesn't think the movie is good?"
"Nine times out of ten, women don't go to the cinema to watch movies, and if you don't come, of course she'll leave." Wang Jing saw that Zhong Chuhong had finished dealing with the people around him, and walked towards this side, and hurriedly came to Lin Youlun's ear and added: "I think she should be jealous, and she is not jealous of a person." Miss Zhou and Honggu can't run, maybe the Miss Yang who just left also has a share. ”…,
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Chuhong had already walked closer.
"What are you talking about?"
"Honggu is so beautiful today!" Wang Jing grabbed the conversation, but he wanted to divert Zhong Chuhong's attention.
Lin Youlun immediately interjected on the side: "Honggu is beautiful every day, okay?" ”
"It's so numb, I can't stand it." Wang Jing quietly handed Lin Youlun a look of "You resist, I'll withdraw first", and the soles of his feet slipped away with oil.
Lin Youlun turned his head and joked to Zhong Chuhong: "Okay, the people who are in the way are gone, should we find a room where no one is there to exchange our experience of watching the movie?" ”
"Death!" Zhong Chuhong's eyes were like silk for a while, although she and Lin Youlun had not yet broken through the last step, but every part of her body had been explored by Lin Youlun's hands, and she felt that Lin Youlun's hot eyes were staring at her, and her body was unconsciously warm.
Lin Youlun took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: "At this time, there is no one in the box!" ”
Zhong Chuhong hesitated, and the ghost nodded in agreement.
Lin Youlun pulled her upstairs to the box, and then closed the door, and suddenly Zhong Chuhong turned around, threw herself into his arms, put her mouth up, and gave him a long kiss. The two hugged each other tightly, eager to merge each other into each other's bodies, and for a long, long time, she let go of him and whispered softly: "Enough, you are not allowed to make any more bad today!" ”
Lin Youlun patted his thigh after sitting down, and motioned for Zhong Chuhong to sit up, Zhong Chuhong refused, so he took her hand and dragged her over, Zhong Chuhong pressed Lin Youlun's hand at first, not letting him touch him, and when Lin Youlun was honest, she leaned on his arms.
The two talked intermittently for a while, and Zhong Chuhong suddenly remembered something.
"Do you know the big boss Lei of the Golden Princess Cinema Line?"
"Lei Juekun?" Lin Youlun looked thoughtful, "I've heard his name, but I've never seen him." ”
"That's weird, someone came to me just now, let me help invite you out to dinner, saying that it was Boss Lei who was the boss." Zhong Chuhong hugged Lin Youlun tightly and muttered in his mouth.
"If I take over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line in the future, I will inevitably have to fight with Princess Jin, this meal is not delicious!"
Lin Youlun's idea of plotting the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, only Wang Jing was the only one around him, Zhong Chuhong heard the news for the first time, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "The Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is the foundation created by the sixth uncle's hard work, and I am afraid it is not so easy to buy it." ”
"You asked me before why I was so disagreeing with Pan Disheng, but in fact, I didn't have anything to do with him. It's just that Debao also wants to take over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and everyone stands in the position of competitors. Destined not to become friends. ”
Zhong Chuhong was worried that Lin Youlun's acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas would not have enough money, so he said that he still had more than 6 million in his bank account. Lin Youlun hugged Zhong Chuhong's body tightly, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "I can't wait to be the boss lady?" ”
Zhong Chuhong was shy, and Lin Youlun took the opportunity to kiss her white neck.
"You can rest assured, as long as the box office is not too bad after the release of this movie, the money I invested will be recovered, of course, now I can say more ambitiously, the recovery of costs is far from enough, I want to tell everyone with facts. The film is not only capable of making money. And it's in dollars! ”
——
"Mr. Zou, I've decided that I'm going to bring this movie to the United States, and I think the American audience will definitely enjoy it." Thomas had a pair of rimless, oval-shaped gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose. But he wore it very low, and always looked at people through his glasses, as if it were an ornament, not a necessity. …,
"I can understand your eagerness, Mr. Thomas, but Mr. Wade of AMC Cinemas has also shown a strong interest in the film, saying that it can be released in 500 theaters across the United States at the same time, and if it does well at the box office, the number of theaters can be further increased...... Based on the good cooperation experience in the past. I'd rather hand over the film to United Arts Cinemas, which Mr. Thomas represents, but AMC's offer is very generous, so I'm having a hard time right now. ”
Thomas lifted his glasses, "Mr. Zou, AMC does have a better advantage than Lianyi in terms of the number of theaters, but our strength in media and public relations is better than AMC's. For the American audience. The only way to attract them to the movie to see an imported movie is through media promotion, which is very important in the early stage of the film's release. First open up the popularity of the film, and when the box office results improve, I will persuade the company to expand the scale of screening. ”
Zou Wenhuai didn't answer, and the word "Sichuan" formed by the two thick eyebrows kept trembling, as clear as a knife carving.
"There is no point in verbal promises, Mr. Thomas should give us a clear commitment that can be written into the terms of the contract, such as how much the film will need to box office to expand the scale of the screening, and how long the screening period will be." Lin Youlun sat on the sofa, put his back, head and hands comfortably on all parts of the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the serious Thomas with interest.
Only then did Thomas pay careful attention to the young man sitting on the sofa, and he pushed his eyes upwards to see the other party's appearance, and only felt very faced.
Zou Wenhuai introduced to Thomas: "This is Mr. Lin Youlun, the screenwriter of "Legend of the Night", and he is also the producer of this film. ”
""Baby Wisdom and Stars" is also Mr. Lin's work?" Hearing Lin Youlun's name, Thomas suddenly became interested. When Golden Harvest recommended "Baby Wisdom and Stars" to him, he felt that the screenwriter of this film had a deep understanding of Hollywood movies, as if he was "his own person" who had been immersed in Hollywood all year round. And this time, "Tales of the Night" is completely based on the usual Hollywood narrative method to construct the content story, and if he doesn't tell him who the author is, he will even suspect that this is a story written by an American.
"So Mr. Thomas is the stubborn Yankee who refused to bring "Baby Witty" to Hollywood?"
Thomas didn't expect Lin Youlun to say so directly, so he had to hide his embarrassment by drinking water, and when he raised his head, he found that Lin Youlun's eyes were still on him, so he had to explain: "Please forgive me, although the story content of that movie is very Westernized, the film style does not meet the taste of American audiences, so I suggested that Mr. Zou sell the film adaptation rights to an American company." ”
Lin Youlun nodded, accepting this explanation, and then asked, "So did Mr. Thomas seriously consider my suggestion just now?" I know that when introducing foreign films, the theater chain will take a lot of risks, so the box office sharing will be the most ideal way to cooperate. ”
Thomas didn't speak, box office cooperation can certainly share the risk of the theater, but the proportion of the share is a difficult problem.
"If Mr. Thomas can get the film to be released in 500 theaters at the same time, if the box office is less than $10 million after release, we will take 30% of the box office; At the box office, between $10 million and $50 million, we take 28%; If the box office is between $50 million and $100 million, we take 25%; If it exceeds $100 million at the box office, we only take 20%. ”
Lin Youlun proposed a specific sharing plan, Thomas couldn't believe his ears, he had heard that the better the box office results, the more the demand for more shares, but he had never heard of the better the box office results, but instead lowered the requirements of the sharing ratio. …,
"Did I hear me right?" He asked uncertainly.
After receiving an affirmative answer from Zou Wenhuai, Thomas happily got up from the sofa, clasped his hands together, and said excitedly: "I believe this is a very sincere cooperation plan, and I will try my best to convince the company's senior management based on this, but it will take a little time." ”
Zou Wenhuai quickly exchanged glances with Lin Youlun and said, "I promised Mr. Wade to give him an answer in three days, and before that, I will wait for Mr. Thomas's good news." ”
Seeing Thomas away, Zou Wenhuai said to Lin Youlun with some concern: "Do you think Lianyi will willingly accept our conditions?" ”
"As long as the film can exceed $100 million at the North American box office, we can make at least $20 million, and if we want to make more money, we have to take a higher risk. If we don't adopt the method of getting a lower box office and a lower box office, Americans will not do their best to promote this movie, all we have to do is to tie the interests of the other party to us, and the 20% share ratio is not low for an imported movie. ”
AMC bid $13 million to directly buy out the North American exhibition rights, Lin Youlun and Zou Wenhuai both feel that it is too low, but the rest of Golden Harvest Company does not see it that way, 13 million US dollars is equivalent to 100 million Hong Kong dollars, not only can fully recover the investment in this film, but also can have a profit of 20 million, in contrast, there are too many uncertain factors in the way of taking the share, Hollywood produces so many movies every year, and there are very few movies with a box office of more than 100 million, and it is even more difficult for an imported film to achieve such results. Zou Wenhuai accepted Lin Youlun's suggestion, but withstood a lot of pressure within Jiahe.
