[Thank you for the 588 tip!] 】

The joining of AA has made the appearance of the film soar a lot.

There are pros and cons, as a Victoria's Secret supermodel, she has a lot of fame. Many fans congratulated on blogs and Facebook, and she seems to be well-connected in the Victoria's Secret supermodel camp, at least the angels who slipped away, including Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima, Du Chen Kolos, etc., have made congratulatory remarks.

But the real fans are serious, but it also directly gives them a clear impression, that is, don't expect acting skills or anything in this movie.

Inexplicably, Hu Yifei was also infected with a scandal. Just because he invited AA to go on the maiden voyage of a yacht, he was beaten into a scumbag. After all, Scarlett had only been giving birth for a long time, and he went to find another woman.

As you can see, he really didn't do anything to this model. For machismo people, people like Victoria's Secret Angel who strip at every turn should stay away.

After AA signed a contract with Hu Yifei, he did not stay on the yacht for long, but was taken back by Hu Yifei to find a good teacher to train and conduct secret training. Even if you grind the gun in battle, it's not bright.

AA is also a smart girl, and she cherishes this opportunity.

On some levels, supermodel fame is all about nothing. She knows very well that a supermodel like her, no matter how popular she is, will not make much more money than Gisele Bundchen. Gisele Bundchen is already a model myth on the planet, the most valuable supermodel, the chief queen model of Victoria's Secret, the spokesperson of international brands such as Chanel N°5 perfume, LV, Versace, Givenchy, DG, etc., and also has its own brand.

In these years, models walk the catwalk, even if they are accurate enough to make money by the number of steps, they are not as good as an endorsement of a big brand.

AA is popular and good-looking, but it can earn more than $5 million a year. Most of the female models are the girlfriends of rich people, or they are young to find a sports star to make a living, and spread some scandals or something. But those sports stars who were born in poverty, even if they are now paid tens of millions of dollars a year, few of them know how to manage money, spend money lavishly, and wait until they retire with an injury, and the final outcome is often unhappy.

Marrying a wealthy businessman is the best ending for them.

But now there is an opportunity in front of her, as long as she can act in this heavyweight movie well, her net worth will soar, how can she not cherish it?

……

In this era, Hollywood's major studios have long been absorbed into larger media and entertainment groups, and the globalization trend of the Hollywood film industry is becoming more and more obvious, and "high-concept" films characterized by "big investment, big production, big marketing, and big market" have become the mainstream of Hollywood.

MPAA has statistics that in 1975, the average production cost of American movies was $5 million, and by 1987 this figure reached $20 million, and by 2007, the average production cost of large studios had climbed to 70.8 million, and the average marketing cost had reached $45.9 million, with a total cost of more than $100 million.

With such a large scale of investment, it is difficult for even a large Hollywood studio to achieve large-scale production with its own funds every year.

Although their parent company is strong, it is reluctant to invest too much money in risky film production, and as a public company, no one wants to have too many debt records on their corporate statements, so bringing in outside investors has become an inevitable choice for major Hollywood studios.

When a big director like Cameron asks Twentieth Century Fox for an investment of 300 million, Fox will also be restrained.

That's why Cameron will find another way to find Hu Yifei, Hu Yifei is also very concerned about this matter, and soon sent a negotiation team represented by Erica to negotiate with Fox, and the two sides reached a consensus. The "Avatar" film will invest 300 million US dollars, 20th Century Fox will invest 160 million to account for 70% of the copyright, and the family film will invest 140 million US dollars to account for 30% of the copyright share and 30% of the peripheral share, which is a slight loss, but the digital special effects of "Avatar" will be contracted to the digital field production.

Erica has some complaints about this business. But where did she know Hu Yifei's abacus, if Fox was willing to give more, he would not hesitate to make a move.

The big order of 300 million US dollars, before Wall Street intervened, completed a heavyweight platter so easily.

Hollywood has mixed reviews of this news, but it also confirms one thing from the side, even if the economy is in recession now, it seems that it does not have much impact on this young rich man in China, and he still has an inexhaustible amount of cash in his hand.

"It's really enviable!" "Maybe it's a little arrogant, but as long as others are stupid and have more money, maybe there will be an extra money bag in the future." ”

The initial budget investment of "Transformers" is as high as 180 million US dollars, and it doesn't matter if Hu Yifei is a sole proprietor. But in this circle, it's not good to play alone. If he wanted to make "Transformers" released globally on a larger scale, he couldn't pass the distribution hurdle, so he opened a cooperation window.

Paramount has been eyeing "Transformers" for a long time, and just a little bit of wind has been revealed, and they can't wait to participate. After spending a huge price to win the distribution right, it once again snatched away 20% of the investment amount, and after a round of intense internal discussions within China Film, it also spent a huge price to snatch 10%.

This is another heavyweight platter.

Among them, the family film industry only paid 100 million US dollars, and gave up 30% of the share with an investment of 80 million US dollars, which is a big profit. But in the end, who would have thought that it was actually cheaper for participants.

With the addition of an 8% distribution share, Paramount already owns 28% of the copyright.

But this cake really has to be cut, because the movie uses a lot of military equipment, Hu Yifei has no intention of showing the strength of the US military, nor will he promote their force to the US army, but this kind of thing has a Paramount involved, and it will definitely be much more convenient than his purebred Chinese to find the army to participate in the shooting.

What's more, Hu Yifei will not lose anything, they will still enjoy the remaining 62% exclusively, which will be a huge gain.

After the film generates revenue, the family film will be the first to enjoy the share, followed by Paramount. As for Zhongying, it will be the last to get the benefits. According to the agreement between the three parties, the revenue to be distributed will not be limited to box office revenue, but also includes the income of the film from audio-visual stores, television stores, new media rights and even franchises.

Although it is more troublesome to involve multi-party investment, with Hu Yifei's current position, the dominance of the entire project is firmly in his hands.

After Paramount occupied a larger share of the investment, it was really more enthusiastic and took the initiative to contact the Pentagon on its behalf. The Pentagon office has worked with Hollywood for many years, and although the Chinese are the main players this time, as long as the script is okay, they still will not give up this opportunity to earn dollars.

They also wanted to hold on to the opportunity to put forward a few more conditions, such as publicizing the strength of the US military, and eliminating the role of uniting with the Chinese military, which was strongly rejected by Hu Yifei. "It's great not to look for you, I'm completely CG."

With Paramount taking the lead, the Pentagon's already unreasonable proposal naturally could not be established, and finally compromised.

After all, the audience watching the film is human, and the North American market is the heaviest, and in all the "Transformers" movies, American GIs will still play a certain role. However, the opening scene will not take place at a US military base, but at a Chinese military base.

With the official establishment of "Transformers", Erica, Michael Bay, and Cameron as producers, the members of Hu Yifei's team have returned one after another to begin preparations for this super commercial blockbuster with a production cost of nearly $200 million alone.

The amount of funding is quite large, and commercial sponsorship is another priority, in addition to the pre-sale and platter programs that have addressed most of the funding sources.

When the crew announced a series of Autobots and Decepticons at the investment conference held, as well as the approximate appearance scene and time, most of the Autobots became fat in the eyes of car manufacturers.

GM packed Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Ironskin, Hummer picked the ambulance, Lamborghini got the Jazz, and Gulfstream stole the decepticons.

In addition to cars and airplanes, manufacturers such as Burger King, Coca-Cola, Le Cordon Bleu, Apple, and many other companies from China such as Lenovo, Taobao, and Fox Video will appear in the film.

If nothing else, the scale of the product placement of this "Transformers" will set a new record in Hollywood.

But the protagonists are in modern society, and it is natural for these brands to appear in life, and Hu Yifei is not opposed to the placement of advertisements in the film, but he will not make that kind of particularly blunt implantation.

If you include the cost of GM's filming cars and the promotion of various brands, the product placement alone would save nearly $50 million in expenses. (To be continued.) )
