Chapter 249: Flicker, Flicker!

Luo Yaoxiang had tea with Zhang Weiping, and it turned out that this guy wanted to talk about the North American release of "Hero", and then he opened a 500,000 US dollar, which was ......

He also said that he had made a high offer, so how could he fool him?

Okay, it does seem to be flickering, but is it a flicker, but is it reasonable for Luo Yaoxiang to really flicker?

Don't you really say it......

"Brother Zhang, you have to know, these 500,000 knives, it's a beautiful knife......" Luo Yaoxiang said......

"......" Zhang Weiping was speechless, but he scolded to death in his heart...... Fart isn't it? Who doesn't know it's the dollar?

Well, Luo Yaoxiang actually wants to say something else.

"That's more than 4 million RMB, and I can directly transfer it to your company's account in China." Luo Yaoxiang's statement is interesting, because if you do this, as long as you establish another name, then you can save a cost of funds.

The dollar becomes RMB, from the United States to China, there is a big cost in the middle, not you want to change it, it's not so easy, millions, and the bank has to take a lot of money in the middle.

So, this is really a favorable place, Zhang Weiping is also a big boss, how can he not understand?

So, Zhang Weiping's expression was really not as bad as before, and he listened to it......

Luo Yaoxiang flickered!

"Brother Zhang, let's look at it again, these 500,000 US dollars, I want to find a company in the United States to do distribution, and American channels to do other markets, such as DVDs, such as all kinds, anyway, there are a lot of costs in this, I took out 500,000 dollars for you directly, and the other costs have not been counted."

Hey, that's right, Luo Yaoxiang is telling the truth, this is the normal way of a buyout. And this is also a common mode for Chinese films to go overseas.

It should be said that Hollywood films came to our country, and now they are called account-sharing films, and they used to be bought out, but they can't make much money by sharing accounts, because the shares are very low.

Why?

Because a movie goes overseas, there is a lot of cost in it, and there will be many companies and people involved in it, and it is strange that there is no cost. Therefore, whether it is a split account or a buyout, in fact, the gap is not big, but one has a relatively large upfront investment, and the other has no upfront investment.

To put it bluntly, buyout and account sharing are all gambling, but if the buyout is done correctly. Then make a lot of money, and share the account to make a lot of money, but it may not be much, but at least it will not lose too much. That is, the risk is much less.

But it's not without risk, because as long as you actually do business, you know that it's easy to say anything, and it's just a matter of money!

That's right. When your stuff makes money from someone else, but you go to ask for the account and you try it, it's hard. It's no easier than murder and robbery, sincerely.

Therefore, the account sharing is not necessarily so good, and the advantage of the buyout is here, I took the money first.

But......

"These 500,000 dollars are too thin!" Zhang Weiping said that he still felt a little guilty.

"Brother, you have to let me not take such a big risk, don't you? I won't say anything else, I'll give you some examples......" Luo Yaoxiang still had a sad face, "You know all the films directed by Feng Xiaogang, right?" ”

"This ...... I know. "When it comes to Feng Xiaogang, what else does this Weiping not know?

"That's right! The Wang brothers' films, can there be investment from Columbia, right? Luo Yaoxiang pointed out the key.

is to say this, because of the investment of Columbia, several of Huayi's movies, "Big Names" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", are all going to be released in the American market, but this box office is ......

I only heard Luo Yaoxiang say: "Brother Zhang, have you heard of it?" Then Director Feng's "Big Shot" was released in the United States, right? ”

As soon as Luo Yaoxiang's words came out, Zhang Weiping immediately ......

Got it! Of course I do!

How can you not know? And Zhang Weiping also laughed at Hua Yi at the beginning!

The box office of "Big Names" ...... I don't know!

The secret, anyway, no one knows, even if you go to check the website in the United States, there is no such record, I don't know, I just don't know!

Didn't release it?

Up! Absolutely, so why don't you know?

But I just don't know, so this box office ......

What else do you not understand in your heart?

Thankfully, Colombia is a big company, really, the average company has to cry.

But to talk about this matter deeply, it is particularly simple, that is, the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, "Big Names" and films like this, the witty humor of the East, and the American humor are huge, so huge that you can't close this hole!

Let's just say that the one who is now well-known in the eastern United States is named Huang Xi, this person went out of China, Luo Yaoxiang knew that he became more popular in the United States later, but his talk show, what is it?

This guy speaks strong Northeast Chinese English, and this is his signature joke, the accent itself makes Americans laugh, he has lived and studied in the United States for so many years, can't he change it? Absolute!

And I often joke about my own ethnicity, let's just put it this way, it's basically stinky and shameless, it's the lower limit of the show!

But the Americans are buying it. But what does such a thing say in our country?

A lot of people are criticizing Uncle Benshan or something, taking advantage of the shortcomings of our Chinese low-level characters for fun, right? So what is Huang Xi? Isn't it more intense than Uncle Benshan? directly scolded his motherland, ridiculed his background, and went to college all the way, but he made himself clean up in his own paragraphs, as if he had been persecuted in the country......

So why are so many domestic people licking people's Huangxi? Isn't it because people are successful in the United States? But have you really heard his jokes? Do you know what those things in it mean in the United States? That accent is the point of discrimination.

Don't blush? Don't you want to beat him up as a Chinese?

Forget it, anyway, Luo Yaoxiang didn't want to go anymore after hearing it, and he really didn't understand, why so many people in China liked this person later, and there were people who washed the floor for him, hey~

Luo Yaoxiang's thinking is a little far away, but that's the thing, Chinese movies are not adapted to the soil and water in the United States. That's true for most of the time, especially funny movies, but ......

"Luo Zi, isn't this a martial arts movie...... Americans should like it more, right? Zhang Weiping grasped a key point, "The previous "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is good. ”

By the way, there are successful precedents, it seems that Americans still like martial arts movies more, and not only "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but other martial arts films are also good, and even sell that videotape. DVDs, they're all good, so it seems......

This Zhang Weiping is not too easy to fool!

Okay, Luo Yaoxiang still has to work harder, so he said: "Brother Zhang, look, our movie is not doing well at the box office in the United States, what is the key to this?" It's still the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, we are different from foreigners in our bones! ”

"......" Luo Yaoxiang's words. Zhang Weiping nodded unconsciously.

But, what does Luo Yaoxiang want to say?

"So!" Luo Yaoxiang suddenly raised his voice, "What is the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in our country? ”

Ay! Here's the key point! "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has ...... at the box office in our country

"It's not good......" As soon as these words came out, Zhang Weiping's face turned a little red.

Why is it red?

Because I don't need to say anything more. It's pretty obvious.

You see, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a martial arts movie, and the entire lineup is similar to our "Hero". Big directors, big stars, and even Zhang Ziyi. But yet, this movie is very average at the box office in our country!

That is, more than 10 million, which is still a lot of false reports, and it didn't make much waves, but it was just that people became on the side of the US imperialists, and they broke 100 million all of a sudden!

But what about our "Heroes"?

At this time, seeing that it is already 200 million RMB, this domestic box office is an absolute success, it is the best movie in China's domestic film market for many years, at least the best at the box office, it has been confirmed!

So, what can we conclude based on all the above theories?

"Hero" will definitely fail miserably at the box office in North America!

That's right, as long as it's a normal person, as long as it's a guy who doesn't have a big problem with logical thinking, then you can definitely come to such a conclusion, that's right.

So......

"Brother Zhang, my brother, the reason why I bought the North American distribution rights of this "Hero" movie is because of this movie, I am the male number one! I especially like it! If I don't like it, can I pretend to be dumb for that long? Can I follow the crew for half a year without leaving? I can...... No more, no more. I did this because I wanted a chance! An opportunity to prove in the United States, to prove that our Chinese own films can achieve a relatively good result in the United States! I bet! I'm willing to bet that! Just to fight for a breath! ”

Luo Yaoxiang's words were simply arrogant, and they were really sincere, and what he said was still a little dry-mouthed, and he drank wrist tea......

That Zhang Weiping's side?

"......" I have to say, just now this Weiping was told by Luo Yaoxiang that a mouthful of blood in his chest was about to erupt, and he wanted to agree, but!

Zhang Weiping is a big boss after all, and his experience in the mall for so many years is not fake, and at the last moment he still kept a trace of enlightenment, and he felt that he should still ......

"In this way, brother, let's take a look, wait, you will believe my brother and me once, my brother will definitely take your words to heart, the copyright you want, my brother doesn't want to give it to others, I just want to wait and see...... In this way, my brother and I made it clear, I just want to wait and see the box office of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth......"

Originally, Luo Yaoxiang had just poured all his acting skills into it, and when he heard Zhang Weiping's words, he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, because he couldn't really fool around, but it was ......

Look at the box office of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth"? Of course, it's the North American box office, but in this case......

Hahahaha......

Isn't that the same as that?
