Chapter 180: I like crazy people
The boss of Avan Entertainment is called Avance, and he is a man in his fifties.
When his secretary relayed Tang Feng's words to him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a shallow smile: "What a crazy person." ”
When the secretary heard this, he thought that Avance was not going to meet the director from the East, so he said, "Sir, I'll push him." ”
Avance shook his head: "No, I like crazy people, because crazy people are often more capable, and if we want to open up the market in the East, we really need to cooperate with capable people." ”
Seeing this, the secretary already understood what to do, and quickly got in touch with Tang Feng and made an appointment.
After the time of the appointment was up, Tang Feng went to the hotel that Avance said, he thought he would have to wait for a while, but when he entered, he found that Avance was already waiting.
This made Tang Feng's impression of Avance a lot better, he didn't approve of someone coming early when dating, but if someone could arrive early, then this person would naturally be worthy of his trust.
"Hello Mr. Avans, I'm Tang Feng, a director from the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Tang Feng made a self-introduction, although it was not much, but it was enough to explain that Avans had checked Tang Feng's information on the Internet before he came, and when he checked it, he was a little shocked that Tang Feng had such an achievement at a young age, but now he is very calm.
"Mr. Tang is a famous person in your country, please don't be polite, please take a seat."
Tang Feng bowed, sat down opposite Avans, and then said directly: "I made a kung fu movie, and I hope to get the support of your company to release it in North America." ”
Seeing Tang Feng straight to the point, Avance also liked it a little in his heart, because such people are efficient and will not waste too much time on each other.
"This is negotiable, can I take a look at the finished film?"
"This is natural."
Tang Feng played his copied movie on the computer he carried with him, and after watching it, Avance couldn't help but be a little amazed by the oriental kung fu and that kind of artistic conception, and he liked it tightly, but he didn't show it.
I like to like it, but it's still about profit when doing business.
He needs to use Guò Tang to realize his layout in Asia, and if he agrees too quickly, he will win less benefit.
"Yes, but if it's just a movie, I don't have much interest, because not all people in North America like this kind of oriental art in the East."
Tang Feng had expected this, what he told Avance was to help him realize some markets in Asia for Avan Entertainment, and with Avance's cleverness, he couldn't agree to cooperate just because of a movie.
"Mr. Avance can state the conditions, and we will discuss with each other."
Seeing that Tang Feng was so happy, Avans did not hesitate, and said his conditions very quickly, after he said this, Tang Feng had to bargain, and so on until both parties were satisfied.
The two sides will help each other in the future, and they will cooperate with each other.
After the two sides said this, they immediately signed a contract, and Afan Entertainment Company promised to help Tang Feng release "The Grandmaster" in North America, including publicity and other matters.
After discussing with Avans like this, Tang Feng was not in a hurry to return to China, but waited for the release of the movie in North America, as well as some related matters related to cooperation with Afan Entertainment.
During this period, Dissmith did not look for Tang Feng again, probably because he did not say anything after getting the situation, and he was not very optimistic about Tang Feng's kung fu movies.
He knows too much about the situation in Asia, where kung fu movies have long since declined, and there is no market for kung fu movies, which is why he is not so positive.
Only Tang Feng cooperated with Avans, and he thought it was just a blind choice made by Avans in his eagerness to open up the Asian market.
"The Grandmaster" began to be promoted in North America, and half a month later, it was released.
The strength of Afan Entertainment is very strong, as long as they are willing to promote, they are still very appealing in North America, and when they were promoting, Diss Entertainment also released a movie, a science fiction film that they put a lot of thought into.
And the two movies can be said to be released at the same time, and it is clear that Dis Entertainment intends to use such a movie to hit Tang Feng and Avans.
On the first day of the release of "The Grandmaster", the box office was not low, with 20 million US dollars, which is almost 100 million if it is counted as a large Zhou coin.
However, $20 million is not particularly high in North America.
And because it is a local movie, the sci-fi film of Diess Entertainment has a large audience, and the box office on the first day reached 80 million, which is four times that of "The Grandmaster".
This made Diess Entertainment very proud, and it was rare to attack Tang's "The Grandmaster" in the media, either explicitly or implicitly, and hint that Avance was blind this time.
But just when Diss Entertainment was so sarcastic about Afan Entertainment and Tang Feng, the box office of "The Grandmaster" suddenly rose the next day, reaching 5,000 US dollars at once, even if it was still not as good as the sci-fi movie of Diss Entertainment, but the second day was more than double that of the first day, which
It is rare in North America.
At the same time, a lot of comments on "The Grandmaster" suddenly appeared on the Internet in North America.
Everyone likes this kung fu movie full of oriental colors very much, of course, there are some places they can't understand, such as when people from other sects feed Ip Man, they don't know why these people do this?
Aren't they adversaries?
There are some things that are unique to Chinese people, they don't understand, but after someone on the Internet explains, they understand, and after they understand, they suddenly feel that Chinese things are very connotative.
Netizens in North America are similar to netizens in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and when someone comments on a movie, they naturally want to see how this movie is, and with such word of mouth, the box office of this movie will naturally rise.
And on the fourth day, the box office of this movie has reached 80 million, and at this time, the sci-fi movie of Diss Entertainment, because of the initial stimulation, has been weak, and the box office is only 50 million.
After this contrast appeared, the people of Diss Entertainment Company were dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that this was true, how could it be that the movie that was not very good before, but the box office suddenly increased so much at this time, and the box office of this movie has been increasing every day, how is this possible?
It's abnormal, it's so abnormal, Diess Entertainment has to attack Afan Entertainment, saying that they are fake at the box office, but even so, it still can't stop the increase in the box office of "The Grandmaster".
And how many North Americans love this movie.
In almost 20 days, "The Grandmaster" swept the box office of one billion in North America, which is unattainable by other foreign films. (To be continued.) )
