Chapter 162: Meng's
"Where Are You Going, Little Wolf" is better than the word "true", which is the evaluation given by a veteran film critic, and also reveals the reason why the film is so popular.
Just like the "Despicable Me" animated movie, everything else is lackluster, but the Minions in it have sprung up and become popular elements all over the world. And this movie of where the little wolf goes, people may quickly forget its plot and characters, but the vivid and vivid animal faces in it are forever engraved in the hearts of children.
The little wolf Tulu, the monkey Xiaoshuai, the Tibetan mastiff Dorjee - they have all become children's favorites. And there is a wave in the movie theater, that is, to shout the name of each animal to the fullest, so that after leaving the theater, the children's little voices are a little hoarse.
Even Brother Badou followed suit, and explained in detail in the movie viewing guide circulating on the Internet: As long as this character appears, he must shout "Lao Dou". Although the children didn't know why, they still shouted vigorously.
There are exceptions to everything, and when the Tulu monkey is being cheered by countless young fans, there is only one animal, as long as it appears, it must be booed. The one who can have this kind of treatment is, of course, a crow.
In the movie, Crow is a bit of a funny, villainous character who is always messing with the little wolf. For example, when the wolf is hunting, this guy will come to the throat and scare the prey away, so well, the children who have a clear distinction between good and evil always boo it.
In the second week of the movie's release, the box office has already exceeded 300 million. Some experts estimate that the box office of this movie will exceed one billion if it is not good.
After hearing the news. Brother Badou is a little stupid: this is simply a money grab, it turns out that the most profitable industry is making movies, and the cost of 10 million has directly increased by a hundred times!
After the shock, there is only joy left. You know, in this movie, fat people also account for half of the investment. Remove the division of the cinema chain. The income will definitely be hundreds of millions, which greatly alleviates the tight situation of Brother Badou's funds. Merely. This money is something that cannot be seen and touched, and it will take several months to fully settle it.
With the popularity of the movie, the main members of the crew also began to receive media attention, inviting them to participate in various programs. But at this time. The mustachioed director played disappearing, turned off his mobile phone, and didn't return home. This newly rising "billion director" seems to have evaporated from the world.
What no one could have imagined was that Director Hu was like a dream these days, he simply made a tent, and then went directly into Shouyang Mountain, looking at the forest and the blue sky and white clouds all day long, as if he was thinking about something......
The rest of the people can't run. Especially Shang Ziqi and Li Xiaonan, who have always loved to be in the limelight, this time they are too addicted. From time to time, when recording the show, he also brought out the monkey Xiaoshuai, or led the little fool, which caused the audience to exclaim.
The most borrowed light is still Shouyang Mountain Forest Park, because in the final shooting footage of this movie, there are some scenes filmed in Forest Park. At the same time, it is also the most popular few minutes with the audience. In particular, the final subtitles also say "This film was filmed with the assistance of Zhongzhou Forest Park" and "The animals in the film are all from Zhongzhou Forest Park". These two lines of big characters make the forest park famous and known all over the world.
How else to say that the fat man was prescient, these two sentences were added by him to Shang Ziqi. Originally, I had an attitude of "just in case", but as a result, there was really a miracle.
After seeing the final subtitles of the film, Zhongzhou TV Station was not far behind, in line with the principle of being close to the water, first served, they sent reporters to Shouyang Mountain Forest Park as soon as possible, together with the crew and the animals that appeared in the film, and jointly made a program "My Animal Companion".
In the program, the animals of Shouyang Mountain Forest Park are truly reproduced, showing a vivid picture of humans, nature and animals, and the problems exposed have attracted widespread attention from all walks of life and triggered a big discussion on how humans get along with natural animals.
Brother Badou is undoubtedly on the cusp of the storm, but he has no consciousness of becoming a "celebrity" at all, and he still soaks in the forest every day, doing whatever he wants.
And the final box office of the movie Where Does the Little Wolf Go have finally come out, fixed on more than 15000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 The fat man counted with his fingers, and finally fell into his hands with more than 200 million yuan, so much so that he woke up with a smile several times when he slept.
This is not the end, one morning, William led a few foreigners to appear in front of the fat man, and after they first walked around Shouyang Mountain Forest Park, they officially negotiated with Brother Badou: to buy the overseas copyright of the movie "Where Are You Going", Little Wolf.
After learning that this group of people was a Mi Guoyan, Brother Badou pondered in his heart: We used to buy Hollywood blockbusters, but why did they fall around now?
If you want to talk about domestic movies, even if you are in a mess in the big ~ land fire, entering Hollywood will definitely be a failure, and there are not a few big domestic directors who have fallen into the sand, for example, the Thai embarrassment in the first two years, but when it was screened in the United States, when the film was screened at 8 o'clock in the evening, the audience was only 15 people in the highest-grossing Chinese theater, which is where the difference between national conditions and culture lies, and it is inevitable.
It is really rare to take the initiative to wave banknotes to buy at the door like this, so even if Brother Badou doesn't know how to do it, he sharpens the knife in his heart.
The negotiations took place in a makeshift recreation room at a nursing home with 20th Century Fox, one of Hollywood's eight film giants. The negotiator was Stephen of the Asia Division? The elite team led by Mondstadt, while the composition of the other side is more complicated, led by Brother Badou, behind which there are many heroes, old and young, more than 100 men and women. Even Director Hu, who has disappeared for a long time, is also impressively listed.
To say that the change of Hu Dao is still obvious, the mustache has become a big beard, this is only a change in appearance, and the biggest change comes from his eyes, which are often in a state of afocus. Even Brother Badou couldn't understand him a little, suspecting that this guy was either a little schizophrenic or completely enlightened in the mountains.
Sitting in the middle is William and a team of lawyers, and part-time translators. Brother Badou only knew at this time that it turned out that William was hiding deeply and was a person with a lawyer's certificate.
After the audience was seated, Mr. Mondstadt looked at his opponent's side, and even he, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, was a little confused: could this be the national situation of this country, a big family with all the people in battle, this is really a big family!
William was just about to enter the negotiation process, but a thunderous roar suddenly exploded in the room, and he saw Old Man Lei stand up violently: "Our things are resolutely not sold to the devils of the United States!" ”
How did you forget this uncle - the fat man was so shocked that he almost fell off the stool. He also understands Old Man Lei's feelings, when he was resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, many comrades-in-arms died on the battlefield, so he has an unforgettable hatred.
So he hurriedly appeased, walked up to Old Man Lei, and whispered to him: "Don't be angry first, think about it, let's sell the movie to them and earn back green dollars, this is more relieving than beating them, isn't it?" ”
Old man Lei pondered for a while, and probably felt that the fat man's words were quite reasonable, so he sat down angrily again. The fat man secretly breathed a sigh of relief: I knew that I would have asked Doudou to lead the old Lei Tou and the old squad leader out for a walk.
Mondstadt and the others over there didn't know why, so they also asked the interpreter about the situation. The translation is a bit difficult, and I don't know if I should say it truthfully. But Brother Badou didn't care: "Translate truthfully, and let them know how powerful we are!" ”
To put it bluntly, negotiation is a game of psychological warfare between the two sides, and they must seize the upper hand in momentum in order to take the initiative in the next negotiations.
After listening to the interpreter muttering for a while, Mondstadt and the others all stood up and bowed to Old Man Lei in unison. Seeing this scene, the old man Bai said happily: "Foreigners are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, if you are not convinced, let's have a second anti-beauty, in this comparison!" ”
"Then you take the lead first-" Brother Badou laughed angrily, is it okay for people to express their respect for the veteran.
Old man Bai touched his big belly: "It's better to call Dorjee and Rhubarb to charge into battle." ”
Finally, William coughed and signaled that the negotiations had officially begun. Mondstadt's side was clearly prepared, and his assistants listed some of the overseas box office of some domestic films. Relatively speaking, the better box office films are kung fu films such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", which are called "martial arts fantasy" films by other people's proper nouns. Later, it became more and more miserable, for example, the big name made by a big-name director, only two movie theaters were released, and the box office was more than 800 US dollars.
The other party said this, just to emphasize the competitiveness of domestic films, and take the opportunity to reduce prices. But they don't know what Brother Badou is like and the particularity of this movie, for the fat people, it is already a mistake and an unexpected joy to have their current results. Fishing for money overseas is simply dispensable.
Their team is not like some directors in China, who want to enter Hollywood with a sharp head, so as to prove themselves, as the so-called no desire is no desire, so Brother Badou lazily leaned back in the chair, letting the other party's mouth be dry, but he only nodded occasionally, muttering softly: Mondstadt, Meng, run this Mongolian again-
Seeing that this guy was not in the mix, Mr. Mondstadt also began to make substantial experiments, proposing several cooperation plans, such as guaranteed box office, buyout, sharing, and so on. The fat man didn't understand any of these professional things, so he asked Director Hu to take the idea.
"Buyout." Although the mustache has undergone some qualitative changes now, he has no confidence to earn any box office share, and if he also sells 1,800 dollars, he can't afford to lose that person.
As for the price of the buyout, it was a bit difficult to determine, so Mr. Mondstadt confidently asked for the opinion of the fat man, he also knew the domestic market better, and the psychological price was a million dollars, of course, it would be better if the other party under-reported.
When it came to the price, the fat man was also a little confused, and his heart was even more unreasonable, so he glanced at William. I saw William intentionally or unintentionally, put a finger on his chest, and the fat man suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and reported a number in his mouth majestically: "One hundred million dollars!"
