Zhang Xixi, as the person in charge of this project, was dispatched by Tianhong Pictures to personally go to the largest rice market in order to be responsible for the buyout price of 200 million, and negotiate related matters related to the release of "The Prequel to the Condor Heroes".

The largest film company in the United States, called Fox, has also cooperated with Tianhong Pictures many times, and the relationship is quite close.

"Haha, old Brown, you're still so young and handsome!"

Zhang Xixi knows the temper of this old Brown, although he is close to the age of six, he likes to be praised by others for being young and handsome. In this case, such a favor without costing money, what is there to be stingy, I will give you as much as you want!

"Dear Zhang, I feel that you have brought me good news, please sit inside!"

Old Brown was a white man, and his hair was more than half gray, but his eyes shimmered with shrewdness and sharpness, and he was by no means as kind and kind as he appeared.

The guest and the host sit down, Zhang Xixi doesn't have much time to talk nonsense, in fact, for the rice people, they can't understand too many turns, like the style of Huaxia must eat first, if the other party eats that set, usually have to arrange a one-stop leisure and entertainment, and finally talk about business.

This time, Zhang Xixi not only came with the mission of the United States, but several countries were going to run, and directly followed the straightforward style of the United States, and went straight to the point: "Old Brown, I brought you a movie this time!" A good movie! I can't afford to give this opportunity to others! ”

"The Prequel to the Condor Heroes?"

As an industry insider, Old Brown obviously has a keen sense of smell, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he broke through the sky, looking at Zhang Xixi's gaze, but he didn't seem very eager.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Xixi was not in a hurry, took out a form that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it over, "Look, this is the box office situation of this movie as of last night, and the pre-sale alone has exceeded 1 billion, which is unprecedented in the history of Chinese films!" Our company speculates that this film is likely to break through the 3 billion mark and reach the peak data of 5 billion, breaking the box office record of all domestic films in one fell swoop and reaching the top with glory! ”

"Well, I watched the film you sent last night, and it's good."

Old Brown said nonchalantly, "It is a very wonderful oriental martial arts drama, which seems to be better than the previous "Eight Heavenly Dragons", which was also filmed by Feng. ”

"Then look at our cooperation this time......"

"No problem! Dear Zhang, you have come all the way over, what you didn't say, according to the old rules, the box office is divided into 5 achievements, and the rest is left to you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xixi wanted to smile bitterly.

Originally, at this time, about 50% of the theater share was deducted, and the production company should have taken the lion's share of the box office profit.

However, this time Tianhong Pictures can only be regarded as an intermediary at most, Haoxue, as a producer, has controlled all the copyrights of this film from the beginning, but because he is not familiar with the film shooting process, Tianhong Pictures has helped a lot.

Now, people first bought out the domestic box office with 360 million, and now they use the high price of 200 million to borrow the overseas channels of Tianhong Pictures, to be honest, this money is already very generous, but Zhang Xixi can't be happy when he thinks of the soaring data in China.

In the overseas market, according to the collective resolution of the previous internal meeting of the company, it is believed that it is impossible to exceed 5 billion, so it is better to take a buyout of 200 million.

But now that the 200 million has been settled, hearing Old Brown's words, Zhang Xixi still feels inexplicably a little uneasy.

Will you fall for that kid again?

Don't...... Is it really possible for the overseas box office to explode like at home?

It's too early to think about this, the most important thing in front of us is to finalize the details of the cooperation with Fox first, the film market in the United States is developed, and it is an important support point for the overseas box office.

The five-to-five sharing ratio can be regarded as a consistent benchmark for the cooperation between Fox and Tianhong Pictures, and Zhang Xixi does not intend to change the inertia over the years.

The focus is on the film scheduling rate.

The film scheduling rate represents the importance that film and television companies attach to the film, and it also directly affects the box office performance.

The competition in the film market in the United States is more intense, and after arranging the film scheduling rate, although it will also be fine-tuned according to the subsequent market performance, the amplitude is usually not as large as in China. Therefore, the initial positioning of the scheduling rate is a crucial data.

"Old Brown, what do you think of this film being a big hit in our China and the scheduling rate?"

Old Brown was obviously prepared for this question, and smiled without thinking: "15%, the same as the "Eight Heavenly Dragons" back then. ”

Yes?

Zhang Xixi was stunned for a moment, and a dissatisfied look suddenly appeared on his face.

Only 15%?

This must not work! The 15% film scheduling rate, even if the attendance rate is overwhelming, is limited by this huge bottleneck in the early stage, which greatly affects the performance performance. Later, even if the reaction was raised, the impact on the final box office was extremely bad.

The film scheduling rate of "Eight Heavenly Dragons" was criticized back then, but helplessly, the later performance was indeed not particularly competitive, not enough to slap the arrogant Chinese people, so they could only accept such tepid results.

If the advance scheduling rate is in place, in fact, the final global box office of "Eight Heavenly Dragons" can be at least twenty or thirty percent higher.

"Old Brown, you have also seen this film, it has already led the box office in the Chinese market, breaking many records in a row, just give 15%, isn't it appropriate?"

Old Brown smiled, shook his head confidently and said, "Dear Zhang, Huaxia is Huaxia, and this is the United States!" I know better than you what kind of films people like! The theme of Chinese kung fu, even when it is the most popular, is just a freshness for everyone to eat. Now this freshness is gone, and there are very few people who are willing to eat it. What's more, the so-called magic of Chinese kung fu is now up for debate, and in the world's major fighting competitions, Chinese people seem to be completely invisible! So, I'm not optimistic about the future of this film, even though it's a good movie, but ...... The market is the market! ”

"You know what!"

Every Chinese person has their own national complex, looking at the old Brown understatement, it seems to sneer at Chinese kung fu, and even faintly accuses it of relying on hype and has no real ability, Zhang Xixi was a little angry, his face changed, and finally he didn't shoot the case, but retorted unceremoniously:

"The real Chinese kung fu, I think you should also know something after watching this movie, what a fighting match is!"

"Hahaha!"

Old Brown laughed and said, "Oh my God, aren't you confusing movies with reality?" I don't know what you guys shot yourself, and even though the special effects are so beautiful that I don't even see any traces, you say it's true? That's kind of ...... Lie to yourself! (To be continued.) )
