Chapter 231: Closing
Even though Chu Qing was moved, he didn't agree immediately, but went back to discuss it with Li Yu.
The distribution of "This Summer" is very embarrassing, it seems that there are many buyers, but in fact, there is no dry goods, and they are stuck at the price of 400,000 yuan, and the attitude is very scummy, all of them are special: reward! Give! Don't hurry up and kneel and lick Shane's fucking virtues.
The two of them couldn't stand it anymore, so they simply sold it in total, but who knew that another MK2 would appear, which was a savior.
Although Li Yu felt that there was no problem, for the sake of safety, he still looked around. Chu Qing harassed all the circle of friends, and focused on consulting Ichikawa Shozo and Ge Wen, two buddies, and successfully learned about MK2's family background and ethics, which is quite trustworthy.
Since it is feasible, then the rest of the matter is simple, just how much the agency fee is.
Generally, film distribution agents have to take 6% to 12% of the net profit as a commission, even if the other party is strong, they have made the worst estimate, less than 15%, which is acceptable.
Another day passed, and on the 20th, Chu Qing and others met with Lauren Dutron again to discuss the details of the contract. Quite surprisingly, MK2 is really sincere, there is no sky-high asking price, no overlord clause, just a price within the standard range, 12%.
The two sides reached a consensus very quickly and said that the cooperation was pleasant.
Overseas issuance is often a long-term operation, and it may take a year or two to recover all the profits, but at least it is an idea, which has given Li Yu a variety of buffs, so that he will not be depressed all day long.
They pondered it like this, and as a result, that night, Duteron came with the news that he had sold the distribution rights of the four countries.
Chu Qing was all blown up here, and he thought that he had entered the black store and was properly played to death. But as soon as I heard the follow-up addition, which four countries? Netherlands. Sweden, Hungary, Argentina......
Well, wronged people.
In other words, the European film market is mainly concentrated in Britain, France and Germany, and the rest is just fun, which can be ignored. Their film dealers are like picking up leftovers every year, shopping for small-budget movies, going back to tinkering with them, and making some hard-earned money. Barely enough to live.
Duteron didn't target these cowards at all, fifty thousand? OKοΌ Forty thousand? OK too! You take it. It's not that you don't want to bargain, you want more, and people don't have money.
The real profit is the box office share in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Japan and other places, as well as the theater release in France. MK2 has the third largest theater chain in the local area, and it is too easy to make a movie popular.
So, these four film companies. I gave a total of more than 100,000 US dollars, and my heart was full.
Of course, you have to be optimistic, plus 60,000 in Norway. There are more than 200,000 yuan, not only to return to the capital, but also to earn a small one million. So, these poor slings who have never seen money. It's a high tide in an instant.
Night, hotel.
Chu Qing leaned on the head of the bed, pretending to be a TV series. This kind of gurgling language is much more mellow than English, and I am used to listening to it.
After watching it for a while, he saw that his girlfriend hadn't come out of the bathroom yet, and couldn't help shouting: "Okay, don't stink!" β
"Oops, I'll try to see if it fits." The girl said.
"Sister, you've tried eight times in one night."
"What's wrong with eight attempts?"
She poked her head out and said dissatisfiedly: "It's going to end tomorrow, wouldn't I dress up better to give you a long face, nag a fart!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Chu Qing knew that he didn't pay attention to it, so he consciously shut up, so he listened to the inside and took it off, and after a long time, it flashed out.
"Do you think we'll win a prize?" Fan Xiaoye carefully hung up the dress and asked.
"How do I know, it's just like that if you don't take it, it's all an agent for others anyway."
"You're relieved!"
She put on a mask, slowly climbed into bed, sat cross-legged opposite her boyfriend, just like the bride who checked the gift money at night in the cave room, and asked, "Hey, what are you going to do when the money is in hand?" β
"Don't do it, it's all up to you."
"So good?" She blinked the big eyes that were showing on her white mask.
"You've almost spent your money, of course I'll have to make it up to you."
This is the truth, the five of them even have food and shelter, all relying on her card, it is easy to save some money, and there is not much left. Listening to her boyfriend at this moment, the girl smiled and said, "You don't have to give it to me, it's all your own, and I can still earn it in the future." β
"That's not good, our family has to take care of the money."
Chu Qing's face was full of righteousness and awe-inspiring, this kind of principled issue, he would not make mistakes, who knows if she wants to get away with it.
Sure enough, Fan Xiaoye was comfortable and said with relief: "Okay, since you are sincere, then I will accept it." β
It's dangerous!
He is also very pleased, my brother is not in vain to fight wits and courage with you.
However, this thing scratched his head, and suddenly remembered one thing again, and said, "Hey, you say, how should I be separated from Li Yu?" β
"Huh?"
Fan Xiaoye was slightly stunned, and only later reacted, forgetting about this stubble, the film still has Li Yu's investment.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the 21st, the 54th Cannes Film Festival closed.
In fact, critics have long had a footnote to this year's film festival, that is, it was a failure. Because the shortlisted films are not worthy of any admiration and praise, it can be seen from the score of the house journal that only one "Piano Teacher" has more than 3 points, and the rest are entangled between 2 and more 2.
None of this has anything to do with the spectators.
The night is slightly cloudy, and there is already a hustle and bustle in front of the movie palace, with the red carpet spreading from the gate to the roadside, and reporters and fans lining up on both sides to welcome the arrival of the highest tide.
The red carpet in Cannes is not as hot as the Chinese media YY, but it is extremely strict:
First of all, you have to dress impressively, but no one really cares what you're wearing.
Secondly, elegance and decency are the self-cultivation skills of A-coffee stars, and those female artists with bells and whistles are just to send a press release to the domestic audience.
Finally, don't steal the limelight from the movie.
Just like a film festival in later generations, Brad Pitt first walked the red carpet with the crew, and then turned back to accompany Angelina Jolie and walked again. This is considered one of the most romantic things to do in Cannes because they respect tradition.
is also a couple, Chu Qing doesn't have to worry about being sprayed, he doesn't even have to deliberately pretend to be low-key. Those who have the ability are called low-key; If you don't have the ability, it's inconspicuous at best.
He's a bit of a talent, but he's ...... Brad Pitt Well, let's take a look at the red carpet.
Anyway, Fan Xiaoye feels great now, she finally officially put on this dress, and she also cooperated to make a child's flower head. The bangs are neat, and the hair on both sides is hanging down, and the petals are like lining the little face.
It's a Chinese doll, it's so cute.
Zhang Jingchu was a little simpler, just wearing a white long dress in ink style, slender and graceful, and her temperament matched very well. They don't understand the rules of the red carpet, but fortunately, they came with their works, and they are still newcomers, so it's not too overstepping.
Due to the influence of "This Summer", the treatment of the crew has also been improved, from the garbage time of the opening to the first half of the appearance.
The conference seems to have deliberately arranged the two groups of Chinese-language films close to each other, and it was Hou Xiaoxian's "The Name of Rose" that walked in front of them, and the heroine was the glamorous Shu Qi.
This is really a coincidence, her battle robe was also designed by Zhang Shuping.
Chu Qing only glanced at it, and didn't dare to turn his head again, it was too terrifying! Not to mention the flesh everywhere, whether it is a Paramount style hairstyle or a third-class lower red and white makeup, there is a strong sense of "I am on the front".
He sincerely thanked Zhang Shuping, and his brain was not opened on his girlfriend.
βHsuChiοΌβ
βHsuChiοΌβ
As soon as the crew of "The Name of Rose" appeared, fans began to applaud and scream, shouting Shu Qi's English name. The French actually like this kind of dress, and the emcee of a TV station in charge of the broadcast praised it twice, "Extremely beautiful!" β
The red carpet is only twenty meters long, and each group of presentations lasts about forty seconds. Shu Qi estimated that he was too hilarious, forgot about this stubble, and kept poking in the middle, which made Hou Xiaoxian very helpless, so he had to stand with him.
But then, a louder shout rang out, and it continued and became more and more neat.
"Chu!"
"Chu!"
"Chu!"
ββ¦β¦β
As soon as Chu Qing took a step, he was startled, his expression was very innocent, and he waved his hand stiffly, not like he was receiving cheers, but as if he was trying his best to clear the relationship, "I didn't let them shout!" β
Fan Xiaoye and Zhang Jingchu had experience, so they were much calmer, and waved their hands with a smile. Then stepped on Shu Qi's tail, stood still, twisted his body, and was slapped violently with a crackle.
Red carpet, gorgeous costumes, dreams, glory, palaces...... This kind of scene, even Zhang Jingchu's safe temperament, can't help but boil, it is a trembling feeling from the inside out.
For many filmmakers and many stars, these few tens of seconds may condense the excitement of a lifetime.
(It's the Spring Festival, there are a lot of things, and the ideas are incoherent, which makes this plot a little dragged, and it doesn't write the expected effect.) Well, Cannes tomorrow. (To be continued......)
