Overseas copyright, in this era, means fragrant and sweet, means an irresistible temptation. Confuse.

After all, the current market of the Chinese film market is not too high, and many people have not really made up their minds to seek revenge, and they also want to learn from Zhang Guoshi and make a lot of money in foreign markets.

However, not everyone has that diamond, and not everyone can get the porcelain job.

And now, The Raid has its chance.

This is not a small opportunity!

The Toronto Film Festival, a major film festival in the world, is also the most influential and far-reaching film festival in North America.

There are really a lot of people who want to talk about copyright issues with the film "Raid".

"So far, we've got three companies buying the rights." Chen Xi was listening to Xiguang's people introduce him to this matter.

"The way they are proposing at present is a copyright buyout!"

Hearing this copyright buyout, Chen Xi's heart actually felt a lot less excited and relieved before...... After all, the copyright buys out this thing, and then it is purely handed over to the other party to operate, although it is more convenient, but in fact, it may also cause big losses.

It's as if "Hero" was indeed promoted to the boiling of the year, and after its release, it also got a horror box office of 50 million in the North + the United States, but the copyright of that film has actually been sold to Americans, which makes Americans promote it so hard......

So the $50 million box office didn't really fall into the pockets of Chinese filmmakers.

However, if you don't sell the copyright, you can run it yourself...... How would you run a movie in the United States, where you are not familiar with the place? And how should it be promoted? In fact, these are all big problems.

If you run it yourself, you really need too many things......

However, Chen Xi himself still prefers to run it on his own, because it can maximize the benefits and also provide experience for future films, of course. A Chinese directly said that he wanted to operate a movie here, which of course was very unremarkable, so Chen Xi reached a cooperation agreement with Xiguang at the beginning and even directly acquired them, which is for the current strategic layout.

Of course, if someone can buy the copyright at a good price, these things are more negotiable.

But what Chen Xi really saw was a big surprise to him.

"200,000, 300,000, the highest one is $400,000!"

When Chen Xi saw the copyright purchase price given by these foreigners, he could be said to be stunned.

Because these prices are really low to the point that Chen Xi can't tolerate it.

Of course. If you let some other directors and producers of Chinese-language films see this number, they may think it's okay, it's good......

Since North America is not a major market, it is okay to have these figures.

Even if it is only 200,000 US dollars, according to the exchange rate of this year, it is almost more than 1.5 million yuan, which is enough for them.

If it's $400,000, it's even cooler! 3,000,000 RMB!

However, for Chen Xi. This qiē is not what he wants! What he wants is to run the territory of "Raid" according to his own plan, and under his management, "Raid" will allow him to get the first pot of gold in the overseas distribution market, and at the same time bring Chen Xi a lot of soft power progress. At that time, more people will know him and know deep space film and television......

Besides, if he continues to sell the copyright all the way, it will be difficult for him to recover the cost...... Based on these considerations. Chen Xi has to defend "Raid" no matter what.

"No, we don't have to think about these hundreds of thousands of dollars for the time being! I decided that we would try to do the operations and distribution on our own. Chen Xi said to the person who had just made a report to him: "Let them not have to work for the time being!" ”

The man seemed to want to say something, but thought about it. Still nodded and withdrew.

At this time, Chen Xi suddenly received a notice, saying that someone came over here, talking about the copyright of "Raid", and Chen Xi also followed Chris, who had gone down before, to that person's side, although Chen Xi basically didn't want to sell the copyright now, but since there is such a person, you can still take a look.

There was a man in a straight suit standing downstairs, about forty years old, probably because Xie Dingli had a bald head, about 1.83 meters tall, and his appearance was also a typical American, he said directly: "You are the director of "Raid", right?" I have to say you look a little younger. ”

Chen Xi's first impression of this person is still okay, at the moment he stretched out his hand and planned to shake hands with this man, but this man did not mean to shake hands with him, just said directly: "Okay, I know you Chinese prefer to talk around the bend, but I am willing to get straight to the point, my name is Johnson, I am the Lighthouse Film Company, I haven't watched your "Raid" before, but we saw the comments and someone in the company has seen it, thinking it's okay, we plan to give you a chance to buy "Raid" North American release rights and DVD rights! What do you think? How do you feel? ”

Chen Xi's first impression collapsed a lot in an instant.

At first, he thought this guy was pretty good, but when he said this, especially the kind of condescending and aggressive tone in his tone, Chen Xi suddenly felt uncomfortable.

However, if you are unhappy, business is business, so Chen Xi forcibly suppressed her mood, and then said, "Okay, then how much price are you willing to give?" ”

After Johnson heard this, the smugness on his face became more profound, and he said: "Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars!" What do you think? I think it's a great price! ”

Chen Xi wants to smack him in the face!

This price, not to mention Chen Xi's own psychological price, even if it is the offer given by others before, it is not as good, after all, someone has already offered a price of 400,000 US dollars before.

At that moment, Chen Xi also straightened his face, with a little coldness in his smile: "I'm sorry, we can't agree to this." ”

Johnson seemed to have some doubts, and the meaning of this doubt was obviously, you would refuse our request? It's really...... It feels incredible, or he wants to ask, why did Chen Xi refuse his request.

At that moment, he said, "What, do you think this price is low?" ”

Chen Xi said: "I don't think the value of 'Raid' can be summed up by 350,000 US dollars. ”

Johnson glanced at Chen Xi again at this time, and there was an expression in his eyes that seemed to want to laugh: "Hey, man, I don't think you have figured out your movie and your situation, indeed, you have a little praise now, but Chinese movies have become less and less popular in the past two years, not to mention your current action type, there are few people watching it, and the copyright price we give is actually very high." ”

In fact, this price is indeed not too bad, but Chen Xi's pursuit is not this, and this man's expression is really bad, which makes Chen Xi feel very unhappy, and at the moment, Chen Xi's tone has become so hard: "But I still don't want to, so, sir, in fact, if you don't mind, you can go first now!" ”

When Johnson heard such an eviction order, he actually knew what Chen Xi meant, and he just felt that it was really incredible that Chen Xi refused like that.

"Dude, you certainly haven't thought it through now, but well, since you turned down such an opportunity, I don't have the need to help you recognize reality, reality will let you know what it looks like!" Johnson was still standing in front of him when he said this, and Chen Xi frowned: "Okay, Mr. Johnson, are you finished?" When that's all said and done, I think the best way for you is to leave for a while, after all, I'm a little embarrassed because of you. ”

Johnson's face was already full of clouds: "You young man who doesn't know the height of the sky! Well, I'd love to see what your movie looks like after being slapped in the face by reality! Good bye! Oh yes, I tell you that the lighthouse will never give you such a chance again. ”

Chen Xi had already ignored him directly, so Johnson's footsteps left in a hurry, and Chen Xi looked at his back and even had an urge to give him a middle finger.

This guy suddenly appeared, and then was taken away by himself, but this made Chen Xi feel violent several times, even now, Chen Xi's anger has not completely calmed down, and for a while, he felt very angry.

Chris walked over, but the guy said with a little anxiety on his face, "Man, you just did a good job, you should have kicked that faggot's ass like that, but, in this way, we offended him too...... Of course, this is not a big deal, but the real big thing is that our next situation is actually not much better than what he said, and the current praise is indeed there, but it is difficult to become a climate, and the resources on my side are not particularly broad, so our future is not bright......"

Chen Xi glanced at him, saw his worries, and felt a little helpless, but he couldn't help it, at the moment, he could only say: "A little confidence, buddy, we are not here to complain, nor to be depressed, we are here to let "Raid" have a path, our current evaluation is not bad, this is a beginning, isn't it?" ”

Chris also nodded, but Chen Xi felt that his confidence was not very strong, and Chen Xi's heart became a little worried because of what had just happened, and because of Chris's preoccupied nod.

Could it be that "The Raid" will still be tragic?
