Chapter 153: The Battle of the Regiment Commanders

Chapter 153: The Battle of the Regiment Commanders

After the lavish dinner and leaving Rachel and Jessica at Julia's house, Liang Xiaolong went straight to the company, found Carl, and told everything again: "What now?" ”

"What to do? Cold salad. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Carl doesn't care at all, in his opinion, this kind of thing can't be curbed at all, it's better to let them quarrel, the more noisy, the higher the box office." Just like the Golden Sour Plum Award, in the first year it was introduced, all filmmakers avoided it, for fear of being nominated, but now it is not the case at all, winning the Golden Sour Plum Award, and even promoting the box office of the film, CD, etc. Similarly, there are many people praising "My Leader, My Group" now, and there are many people scolding, and the more noisy it is, the more lively it is, which is definitely conducive to the box office exhibition.

As for fame, Carl doesn't care even more, movies are movies, movies are entertainment, if you have to give Ann something that doesn't exist, then how can you contain it? No matter how much you refute, others want to scold you, are you afraid that you won't find an excuse? So, you have to keep an eye on the box office first, as long as the box office goes up, then it proves that you are successful. In addition, "My Leader, My Group" is indeed a profound film, in fact, as long as the audience watches it with their hearts, they can naturally see his profound side, and there is no need to refute it at all, and everyone will feel good.

Liang Xiaolong thought about it carefully, let people scold, Zhang Yimou was scolded even worse in his previous life, but he is still the first brother in the national director industry, and he is also the chief director of the Beijing Olympics, is his career not successful? Moreover, it is precisely because of the loud quarrel that those who have never even watched the movie know Zhang Yimou.

In fact, Liang Xiaolong didn't know that not only the big 6, but also the Taiwan side was divided into two camps, on the one hand, the film fully affirmed the merits of the ** frontal battlefield during the Anti-Japanese War, and on the other hand, it scolded Liang Xiaolong for smearing **, because although the final total was successful, the reason why the cannon fodder regiment suffered heavy losses was because of high-level political problems, otherwise why did the cannon fodder need to hold on for 8 days?

In short, "My Captain, My Group" is now being discussed all over the world, and the popularity of the film has been known to the whole world, and the box office is also rising, steadily pressing "Black SWAT Team".

"Okay, since everyone likes to quarrel, then I'll break some more news and make everyone more noisy." Liang Xiaolong is ruthless, "My Leader, My Group" was originally adapted from a novel and a series, and now that the film has achieved a good box office, it is better to shoot a TV series, which can not only build momentum for the film, but also make another profit for the series: "Carl, spread the news immediately, "My Leader, My Group" will be adapted into a series and start filming tomorrow." ”

"It's adding fuel to the fire." Carl couldn't help laughing, now all over the world, there has been a lot of noise because of "My Captain, My Group", and suddenly announced that the film will be adapted into a series, which will definitely make everyone even more noisy. However, this is beneficial to the company, and can only bring another income to the company.

After agreeing on this matter, Liang Xiaolong took out the script of "Notting Hill" again: "I don't want it again, I almost didn't get mad by her." Carl smiled: "I sympathize with you, this ** woman is overwhelmed by trivial matters at home, so she has to take your anger out." Liang Xiaolong said angrily: "Then she should be angry with Danny." ”

After joking for a while, Carl asked again: "What about the director, the hero and heroine?" Who are you going to put in the role? Liang Xiaolong shook his head: "You can do it yourself, I have to go back to write a script for the dead mouth, I have a headache." ”

"My Captain, My Regiment" is going to be adapted into a serial, which will start filming next year, and once the news is released, it will undoubtedly throw another ** in the furious sea, causing a crazy tsunami. Heated discussions immediately ensued between the various camps, and the major media outlets also reported on it frantically. Most people are still looking forward to this series, of course, people who don't like "My Leader, My Group" still scolds more than once, and the most ugly thing is that Liang Xiaolong wants to go crazy for money, and when he sees the box office of the film, he wants to make a lot of money.

But does it matter? The important thing is that the series will start filming next year, and no one can change it. Of course, the major TV stations that are most concerned about this news, fools can see the potential business opportunities in it, and if they can win the screening rights of "My Leader, My Group", there will definitely be a rich return. The major TV stations immediately took action, and within an hour after the news was released, Carl received dozens of calls from major TV stations, which made Carl very depressed, is it necessary to grab the land so much?

In contrast, Shirley was more direct and sincere, and drove directly to Yanhuang Film Company. In fact, Shirley is also in a hurry, she sees it better than anyone else, Yanhuang Film Company has two strategic partners, that is, Paramount and Disney, and both companies have their own TV stations, so this matter can basically be determined to be a competition between the two companies. So she had to get things done before Mark.

But as soon as she arrived at Carl's office, Shirley was stunned, Mark was already sitting there, shaking his wine glass leisurely: "Shirley, I have already negotiated with Carl, I will invite you to drink and celebrate in a while." Shirley gave him a blank look, turned her gaze to Carl, and motioned for him to understand.

"I'm not ready for this, let's sit down and talk." Carl could only smile wryly, and the reaction was so fierce that he was a little caught off guard, and he didn't even have time to hold an internal company meeting. However, it is certain that in the end, it will definitely cooperate with Paramount and Disney, which are strategic partners after all, and it is impossible to let the fertilizer flow to outsiders.

Shirley sat down and directly pointed the finger at Mark: "Mark, all the paid on-demand rights of the films produced by Yanhuang Film Company are in your hands, should you give them to us this time?" Mark smiled: "Shirley, we have always had a good time working together on TV, so I believe that we can have a happy cooperation in the future." ”

"Two, stop for a moment." Carl smiled bitterly again, the public said that the public is reasonable, and the mother said that the mother is reasonable, so these two people can't be allowed to quarrel in their own company, right? After thinking about it, he still decided to push this matter back, at least wait for his side to be ready, so that he could start negotiations with these two people: "Shirley, Mark, why don't we discuss it within the company first, and I will ask you to discuss it in detail tomorrow, and see how to cooperate in the end, okay?" ”

Mark and Shirley nodded, and then did not delay Carl's meeting, but as soon as she walked out of the company's door, Shirley snorted: "This broadcast right will definitely be our Paramount." Mark smiled: "We at Disney have an advantage in this business, so you just wait to eat the ashes." Shirley said: "Whoever kills the deer, we'll talk about it later." ”

Carl also has a headache, although business is business, but both companies are strategic partners, and no one can't say anything about it. In desperation, Carl could only call Liang Xiaolong and tell everything again: "Shirley and Mark are about to fight, who are you going to give it to?" Liang Xiaolong was also a little speechless, if it is according to the business field, it is not conducive to future exhibitions, after all, in the early days of the Yanhuang Film Company, both companies gave great help, at least in the distribution plan of the theater chain, it has always been given priority to Yanhuang Film Company, otherwise "My Leader, My Group" will not be released in theaters at the same time in the United States.

After thinking about it for a while, Liang Xiaolong could only smile bitterly: "Carl, do you want the three companies to cooperate?" Karl said: "It's not impossible to co-produce, but how to allocate resources?" In particular, which company's TV station should be released, this is the most critical, and the distribution of benefits is secondary. Liang Xiaolong said: "Then throw the problem to them and let them negotiate." ”

Carl agreed, and then asked, "What about our company?" And what resources will be allocated? Liang Xiaolong said: "Our company doesn't have its own TV station, and the series doesn't mean much to us, we just want to make extra money, and the rest is secondary." Therefore, our company took a stake in the script. Karl said: "That's okay, in addition, many of the special effects technology of the movie can be directly applied to the TV series, which is also our capital for investment." Liang Xiaolong said: "How to cooperate, you can draw up your own plan, and the most important thing is to maintain the relationship with Paramount and Disney, don't be estranged because of a series, it's not worth it." ”

Liang Xiaolong is not wrong, Yanhuang Film Company focuses on films, and is not ready to show in the serial, it is not worth offending two strategic partners for a serial. However, for Paramount and Disney, the series is important. First, the film is a big hit, and the ratings of the series are guaranteed; Secondly, the movie has a high reputation all over the world, and once the series comes out, it may also be promoted to the world, and its profits are very huge. Finally, there is the issue of the reputation of the TV station, the TV stations of the two companies are not only for the United States, but also for many countries in Europe and the United States, and a good series can greatly promote the exhibition of the TV station in Europe and the United States, which is also what Mark and Shirley value the most.

After determining the general direction of cooperation, Carl was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and immediately notified all departments of the company to hold a meeting to discuss the interests of all aspects of cooperation. At the same time, Liang Xiaolong, Rachel and Jessica have already boarded the plane back to China, preparing for a new trip, targeting Shennongjia. When Rachel was about to get on the plane, she smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Julia will chase you?" Liang Xiaolong snorted: "I don't care about chasing and killing, who made her so picky, I want to stay in the United States, and if I am not satisfied with another script, I have to write it again, and our travel plan will be in vain." ”

was played twice by Julia, Liang Xiaolong was also ruthless, left the United States directly, while traveling, while writing the script, and when the script was written, fax it to Carl, and let Carl talk to Julia, when the time comes, Julia can't think about it, anyway, she can't find Liang Xiaolong, and Liang Xiaolong will never answer her call.

There are many legends about Shennongjia, some people say that it is the place where the immortals once lived, and some say that it was the place where the heavens once climbed, and there is a ladder in a mysterious place, but only people who are destined can see the ladder and become immortals. Of course, the legend is not credible, but Shennongjia is indeed a well-preserved primeval forest, with a wealth of wild species, and there are even many rumors that they have seen wild people in the forest.

After Liang Xiaolong and the three of them settled down in Shennongjia, Carl called again: "Man, it's so scary, I never thought that Shirley and Mark would have such good eloquence, arguing, and scolding the shrews on the street have to retreat." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help laughing: "Then how are you talking now?" Karl exhaled: "They're still arguing inside, I'll take refuge now, and I'll go in when they've negotiated, otherwise they'll ask me if I'm right or not, and I won't be able to answer." Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "Okay, then you can let them quarrel, and when it's time to eat, let people send more food in, and only when they are full will they have the strength to continue arguing." ”

"I'm getting worse and worse for you kid." Carl couldn't help laughing, what Liang Xiaolong said was exactly what he thought, anyway, no matter how noisy it was, it was a problem between Paramount and Disney, and it had nothing to do with Yanhuang Films. Liang Xiaolong chatted with him for a while, and finally said, "When they are done, call me again." ”

Like this kind of cooperation involving many interests, quarreling is definitely not much different from a shrew scolding the street, the only difference is that the shrews scolding the street is scolding, while their quarrels are based on facts. Of course, they are actually quite good, the United Nations meeting is even better, there is no side can be discussed for you, and then quarrel for two or three days, unhappily dispersed, and then quarrel again in a few days, it seems that the United Nations exists for quarrels, or for the politics of various countries. The government provides a platform for quarrels.

Paramount and Disney negotiated for two days before finally deciding on the plan, the screening rights belong to Disney's ABC TV station, but the distribution of benefits Paramount is more, Yanhuang Film Company takes 30%, and the investment is in the script, special effects and the promotion of the film, because the promotion of the series is mainly due to the movie "My Captain, My Group"; Paramount did not get the right to screen, but it took the lion's share in terms of interests, forty percent, but it also invested more; Finally, there is the Disney Company, which also takes 30% of the profits.

The three companies are still quite satisfied with such a distribution plan, of course, the investment in the TV series will not be small, according to Carl's estimates, at least 50 million US dollars will be invested to create the strongest TV series.

Time passes day by day, because it is in China, so Liang Xiaolong can also understand the domestic news in the first time, the discussion of "My Leader, My Group" has not ended, but because it was announced that it will be filmed into a series, the people who like it still like it, and the people who like it still spit on it, and as far as Liang Xiaolong is concerned, he has successfully recruited more fans in China, and it has also made more people hostile to him.

On this day, the box office of "My Leader, My Group" came out again in the third week, and it is still a dumbfounded value, and the United States swept another 750,000 US dollars, which is higher than the box office of many American blockbuster weeks, and the total box office in the United States has reached 90 million US dollars, and it continues to retain its lead in the box office list and continues to win the box office list. The overseas box office this week was also very stable, sweeping $90,000, and the total overseas box office was as high as $800 million. The total global box office has reached $490 million.

Major media have written that it is a natural phenomenon that "My Leader, My Group" is crazy and strong at the box office, but after 6 days of crazy hits, there will be a large gap in the box office in the next week, and then it will stabilize, and the release cycle will be relatively long. Liang Xiaolong also agrees with this view, in the previous life, whenever you watch those movies that are big sellers, the box office in the first week or two is frighteningly high, but then there will be a large gap, tend to stabilize, and achieve long-term benefits. In this regard, Liang Xiaolong's deepest memory is naturally "Titanic", as soon as it was released, the box office was frighteningly high, but after three or four weeks, the area was stable, tens of millions per week, and it took 18 weeks to be released, and finally won a high box office of 800 million.

Obviously, this will also happen to "My Captain, My Regiment", of course, the box office cannot be like "Titanic", because the box office of "Titanic" is a myth and legend.

For such a box office, Liang Xiaolong was a little speechless while being satisfied, and the box office in 6 days actually reached his expectations, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

In addition, the script that Liang Xiaolong prepared for Julia has finally been completed, and this time he is not choosing the films that Julia has acted in in his previous life, anyway, he has a feeling that Julia will most likely refuse directly. In the end, Bruce Leung chose "Love Chocolate", believing that this film can make Julia, who has just paid, quickly recover her fame.

"Love in Chocolate" is a love story that can make people tangled, but behind the story can make people think deeply: the young Pedro breaks into an otherwise peaceful and declining family, and he is passionately in love with the family's smartest and most capable young daughter, Tita. But there is a rule in this family that the youngest daughter must not marry until the old man returns. In desperation, Pedro married Tita's sister in order to have a chance to get close to Dita. Tita is heartbroken, but her mother's fate is irreparable, so she can only melt her enthusiasm into food and convey her joys, sorrows and sorrows in silent words.

So we saw that at my sister's wedding, the cakes mixed with tears made everyone miss the lost love, and the scene of celebration was suddenly sad; The rose petal quail attracts the psychology of diners, and the desire for indulgence arises spontaneously; The chili turkey made everyone excited, and the laughter and joy that they had never had were overflowing; There is also the miraculous oxtail soup that cures silence, the walnut sauce chili that attracts everyone's ** explosion, and the chocolate drink that is delicious because it is added with a lot of love...... The plot that unfolds from this is that the movie becomes a splendid legend.

In the decades that followed, Tita experienced the death of her nephew who had been fed with her virgin juice, the strange and bold marriage of her second sister, the endless confrontation with her mother, the hostile words of her eldest sister, and the guilt in her heart, knowing that on the day of her niece's wedding, she was able to break all obstacles and unite with Pedro. But their original youthful appearance is no longer what it used to be, and the flame of their life has been burned out......

Liang Xiaolong faxed the script, and then called Carl: "Remember, if you are not satisfied, you will stab her with a knife." ”
