Chapter 068 is very rewarding
A ray of afternoon sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, Gu Weiqi rubbed his swollen head and slowly opened his eyes.
At this time, the ** Masadina was lying on his soft muscular body and was busy - it turned out that after the two came out of the bar yesterday, they returned to the hotel where Gu Weiqi is staying now. I tossed and turned for most of the night that night, and I didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
It's just that what Gu Weiqi didn't expect was that as soon as she woke up, the woman began to toss again, which was really speechless.
When the woman saw that he opened his eyes, raised his head and smiled seductively, she lowered her head, and her seductive red lips slid down his forehead, the bridge of her nose was straight, and the corners of her lips were evil, and then she went all the way down her neck, kissing his chest, winding down, greedily sweeping back and forth on the angular abs.
"I'll you!" He couldn't help but gasp, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that this woman was really a terrible stunner, and then he turned over and pressed the other party underneath, launching a violent impact like a storm.
To say that this woman's appearance is extremely beautiful, her face is like a full moon, her skin is like mutton fat and jade, fair and soft, and she does not have the roughness of European and American women; The straight nose bridge is delicate, as if it is carved in powder; The fiery red lips are delicate and red, and the breath is like an orchid; The white teeth are as smooth as pearls.
After tossing for a long time, the woman let out a scream suddenly, her chest rose and fell proudly, her crimson cheeks were full of intoxicating flushes, and her eyes were full of misty color. The feeling of fluttering fairy made her so beautiful that she was bubbling, and Gu Weiqi, the owner of the building, was reluctant to let go.
Gu Weiqi stroked her pretty face and chuckled, "Baby, you are so beautiful!" ”
The woman reminisced about the aftertaste, hooked his neck and said charmingly: "Honey, you are so good! ”
Gu Weiqi smiled and suddenly said, "Honey, how about coming over and helping me take care of my business?" I want to invest in a film company here in the United States. ”
Recruiting Mathadina was by no means a whim of Gu Weiqi, but a deliberate one. It must be known that this woman can become the host of a TV company as big as 20th Century Fox, and she must have her own merits. If Oriental Hollywood International Film Company wants to become bigger and stronger, it must have its own branch here in the United States.
"Oh." Marthadina thought in her heart that Gu Weiqi was a young and promising movie genius, and his kung fu was also good, and it might be a good choice to follow him to do things, so she changed her mind and agreed: "Okay, I earn $150,000 a year at Fox TV to help you take care of the branch, how much annual salary do you plan to give me?" ”
"I'll give you $300,000. You will be responsible for the distribution of the films produced by Oriental Hollywood International Pictures in Europe, the United States and Africa, and then invest in some films with box office potential......"
Jingle bells! The two were talking, when suddenly the phone on the bedside table rang.
Gu Weiqi picked it up and listened to it, but it was actually Davis calling: "Zachary, let me tell you good news, since you went to Fox TV last night to record the show, the box office of 'Guoshu Grandmaster: Starting from Scratch' has increased a lot today." ”
It turned out that as soon as the performance kung fu and song he sang and the show showing the space dance steps that he went to record last night were broadcast, they immediately became popular, almost breaking the ratings record of the Fox TV program. Subsequently, it also caused a box office chain reaction of "Guoshu Grandmaster: Starting from Scratch". The attendance rate, which had already declined, immediately showed an upward momentum.
After the episode spread to Europe, it also stimulated the growth trend of the box office. With curiosity about oriental kung fu, everyone walked into the cinema again and again. Originally, the box office in North America was slightly higher than that in Europe, but with the broadcast of this episode, the box office has come from behind.
Especially the two songs he sang live, with the broadcast of the show, they quickly spread all over Europe and the United States and became popular. Coupled with his kung fu performances and all kinds of cool street dances and incredible space dance steps, he has become an idol that many young people compete to imitate for a while.
"Oh, is it? That's great. He laughs.
Davis added on the phone: "In addition, our music company under the 20th Century Fox Group wants to buy the rights to the two songs you sang live last night and the four songs in the movie. What do you mean? ”
"I'm sorry, but I don't plan to sell the rights to these songs."
Gu Weiqi muttered: "Mr. Davis, as far as I know, when it comes to distribution capabilities in the music industry, Fox Music is far inferior to Polygram and Universal. But who makes us close partners now? So though I can't sell the rights to Fox Music. But they can cooperate. ”
"Oh, how to cooperate?" The other party asked.
"What I mean is this, I made a movie album of the same name, including the music in the back, and put it on the market, just in time for the movie that is being screened and quickly distributed and released. As long as we do it properly, we will definitely make a lot of money. What do you say, Mr. Davis? ”
Davis exclaimed: "It's a really good idea, and maybe it can spur the box office growth." ”
"If the film is not drawn in the short term, the box office should increase. It's still the old rule, this movie album is handed over to you Colombia to distribute. In terms of the Asian market, I developed it myself under my own name, Tian Lai Legend International Music Company. It's okay to split the profit by 55, right? ”
"As you wish, I will immediately order someone to do it, and you can take the time to come and sign the contract. Bye-bye-bye ......."
"Wait Mr. Davis, I'm not done yet. In addition to the film's self-titled album, the songs 'Billiejean' and 'ItisMyLife' that I sang live on Fox last night could also be made into two singles. ”
Davis agreed: "That sounds like a great idea. ”
The two said a few more words, Gu Weiqi put down the phone, and took Mathadina to the bathroom to take a shower. After it was over, I went straight to Davis to sign a contract. As for Masadina, she also went to Fox Television to handle all kinds of resignation.
After signing a contract with Davis, Gu Weiqi received a call from Xia Xuerong soon after returning to the hotel. He said that with the hot release of "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch" in Europe, the United States and Africa, the news spread to Asia. Now the film is also very popular in Yueben, Taiwan, Nanyang, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Even the book has only been released for 20 days so far, and it has already received 8 billion yen, sweeping the entire market. And Taiwan's side has also received NT$100 million, beating the Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time, and the box office in other regions is also very good. The number of moviegoers in South Korea even reached a staggering 4.8 million, and it is still being screened everywhere.
Gu Weiqi was overjoyed, the impact of this film was too great. Three days later, Xia Xuerong called again, and with the fermentation of this film being released in various regions, Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei and other countries have introduced this film. Even in South Asia, countries including Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan have a small number of studios coming to the film. However, these countries and regions do not agree to share, and they are all one-time buyouts.
But even so, South Asia sold for $4.9 million. However, Western Asia, including Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other countries, sold for a full 6.8 million US dollars. The reason why it sells higher than in South Asia is because these regions are rich in oil, and they are simply rich in oil.
But in Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan, a few countries bought a measly $1.3 million. But no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is a piece of meat, and it is unexpected to be able to buy it for 1.3 million US dollars.
After nearly 40 days of release, "The Grandmaster of National Art" was released for nearly 40 days, and it was finally painted in Europe, America and Africa. The North American box office of 113 million undoubtedly sat on the third place at the box office in 1981, and the box office champion was undoubtedly taken away by the blockbuster film "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which received a box office of 209 million US dollars, which can be described as a violent mess.
The runner-up was "Golden Pond" starring famous Hollywood stars Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda, which was released in January and received $119 million at the box office. However, "Superman (Episode 2)", which was full of momentum as soon as it was released, only had a box office of 108 million US dollars, ranking fourth at the annual box office. However, for an Oriental, the first film released in Hollywood can get such a high box office, and Gu Weiqi is proud enough.
The European box office of up to 151 million US dollars became a well-deserved box office dark horse champion in Europe in 1981, and directly took down the "Raiders of the Lost Ark". In addition, Africa also received an incredible $43 million at the box office. Don't think it's an exaggeration, you must know that "Enter the Dragon" starring Li Xiaolong in 73 sold 230 million US dollars at the global box office.
When Spielberg's "E-T" alien came out in 82, it grossed more than 790 million and nearly 800 million US dollars at the global box office (Japan alone contributed 15 billion yen). Coupled with Gu Weiqi's enthusiastic movie, the combined box office of Europe, the United States and Africa is as high as 307 million US dollars.
Major TV stations and mainstream media in Europe, America and Africa have reported this shocking news, all of which are called the incredible Oriental Boy, creating a box office miracle. Some people also shouted "The wolf is coming", and for a while, Gu Weiqi became famous in Hollywood and became a rising star in the East!
However, since that day I went to Fox Television to record the show. Most of the time, he stayed in the hotel in a low-key manner and continued to tinker with novels. These days, when the movie was released, he kept tinkering with ten novels, "New Bridge Lovers", "Love Letters", "Ghost Love", "The Age of Innocence", "Big Nose Love Saint", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Leaving Las Vegas", "Dream of the Covered Bridge" and "Love Seriously Hurts", which became a collection of romance novels.
That is, in order to register Oriental Hollywood International Pictures' branch in the United States, "Oriental Mythology International Entertainment Pictures", and to buy cameras (after all, Donglai Company has been officially opened for several months, it is impossible to always rent equipment from Phoenix TV) and other shooting equipment, special effects production computers, and then went to Fox Records to take the "Guoshu Grandmaster: Starting from Scratch" album of the same name and the "Billiejean" single album back to Xiangjiang several times.
