Chapter 1067: A Crucial Step!

"Zhao Quan, help me contact Wan Tongtong!"

After chatting with Han Siping for a while, Menjie first made a call to director Li Case, and after hanging up the phone again, he gave an order to Zhao Quan.

When he was talking to director Li Case just now, Menjie also heard the anger in Li Case's words, but there was not much he could do.

Indeed, in the Chinese film industry, director Li's words are very weighty, but his roots are in Western countries, and his roots in China are not very deep.

Even the investment company for his new movie "Lust and Caution" is a little-known company!

If it is aimed at some filmmakers, directors, and actors, he can easily completely block the other party with his energy, but for Huaxia Film Group, one of the few top entertainment companies in mainland China, there is still a big gap, and it can't shake the other party at all!

So at this time, the anger in the heart of the director Li Case has nowhere to vent at all!

Then, after comprehending the anger of the Li case, Menjie didn't have the slightest nonsense, and directly left down the sentence 'Director Li, leave this matter to me', and hung up the phone directly.

Li Case also knows that Menjie currently has considerable energy in Huaxia, seeing Menjie's resolute attitude, he didn't say anything, and even reminded Menjie a few words.

Next, it's Menjie's crazy counterattack!

Of course, before counterattacking, Menjie also thought slightly in his heart.

This matter has developed to the present, if you don't want to be depressed in vain, you can only resist, but how to gain benefits in this battle is the fundamental problem.

In order to simply relieve anger, they will fight with each other, and Menjie will not do that, and get the maximum benefit from it. That's what Menjie really wants!

"Tongtong?"

At this time, the phone had also been dialed, and Menjie couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

Wan Tongtong on the other end of the phone heard Menjie's voice, and he also knew that Menjie's call was because of something.

"Brother Jie, what do you say!"

Next, Menjie explained what happened to Wan Tongtong, and Wan Tongtong did not hesitate and asked directly.

"It's very simple, just hold a press conference and severely condemn the other party's actions. At the same time......"

The voice was full of coldness, and Menjie commanded Wan Tongtong without hesitation, and at the same time, Menjie's eyes were also full of greed.

If all this is successful, the celebrity film and television company will reap quite a huge profit!

"At the same time. When we contacted Warner Bros., we said we agreed to their request. Even if there is no dime in the interest. Also talk about getting things in hand! ”

In the end, Menjie ordered another thing again, and after Wan Tongtong on the other end of the phone nodded in response, Menjie hung up the phone.

Then, Menjie waited for a while, and re-sorted out the next plan in his heart. After feeling that there was indeed no mistake, I put my mind at ease and boarded the plane with Zhao Quan and went to South Korea for the next period of work.

Although the movie "Lust and Caution" still has more than a month to go. During this time, Menjie should theoretically be on a 'vacation', but his work is just as busy.

Of course, in the next period of time, Menjie only needs to deal with his own affairs, and the company's affairs have basically been issued to Wan Tongtong, and there is no need for Menjie to worry about anything.

In the next few days, Wan Tongtong really lived up to Menjie's expectations and completed several 'big things'!

First of all, Wan Tongtong took advantage of Menjie's personal meager to directly release a message, and also @ a senior leader of Huaxia Film Group.

The meager news of Menjie is full of a feeling called 'provocation', and there is no mercy in the slightest.

"Comparison between the movie "Red Cliff" and the movie "Lust and Caution"? It is true that there is no comparison, one is a commercial blockbuster, and the other is a literary film, which should be compared and should be compared to the box office, not the box office of the movie! ”

"But if some people are willing, we can make a bet on the box office performance of my film "Spartan 300 Warriors" and the movie "Red Cliff" that I shot some time ago. In terms of investment, there are still more "Red Cliffs", and the cast is also advantageous, if you don't dare to bet...... Don't always compare a commercial film with a literary film for box office results, it's ugly! ”

"Of course, I don't bully you either! As long as the box office performance of the movie "Red Cliff" can surpass the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" that I starred in, or if it can surpass the movie "Lust and Caution" in terms of awards, even if you win, as a bet, I am willing to take out all the copyrights and film adaptation rights of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" and the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses"! ”

After such a remark was issued, the outside world was in an uproar, and everyone couldn't believe that Menjie, as the chairman of an entertainment company, was so easy to make such a child's decision!

Directly take out the copyrights of the only two works of celebrity film and television companies so far? What a huge piece of the cake!

Known as the most popular TV series in China in 2006, the ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" exceeded 10%, and countless film and television companies wanted to shoot "Wulin Gaiden 2", or the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden", but they were rejected by celebrity film and television companies.

And the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" has been on the air for a few months so far, just looking at the ratings trend of this TV series, combined with its total number of episodes, it is not difficult to imagine that next year, this TV series will become one of the most popular TV series in the whole of China and South Korea, and it is definitely an excellent work that can rank among the top three in the ratings of the whole year!

Even any of the eight remaining top entertainment companies in Huaxia definitely want to get this big cake, and Huaxia Film Group is no exception!

And......

Menjie's speech is indeed amazing, either fight with the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" for the box office, or fight with the movie "Lust and Caution" for awards, even if there is only one victory, it will be counted as the other party's win!

It's okay if you agree, but if you refuse, I'm afraid it will have a very huge impact on the box office of the movie "Red Cliff".

You this movie. Can't even compare to a small-budget literary film?

Your movie, can't even compare to a movie with a bad investment as yours?

So what's the point!

It is precisely because of this that in the face of Menjie's extremely sharp words, the high-level who regarded the movie "Red Cliff" as his only chance to take charge of Huaxia Film Group was forced to agree to this bet!

This is also due to the fact that the temptation of the 'cake' taken out by celebrity film and television companies is too great.

Of course, if Menjie's request is too much, for example, if he directly asks for some departments of the other party, Huaxia Film Group will not be able to agree.

Although Wan Tongtong, who negotiated with the other party, put forward a somewhat excessive request, it was also within the scope of the other party's affordability.

Wan Tongtong proposed that in the next three years. Celebrity Film and Television Company will take three scripts from Huaxia Film Group for free, and Huaxia Film Group must use its own channels to release five films for Celebrity Film and Television Company under the standard of 'main movie'.

In fact, even if you lose this bet, it will not have much impact on Huaxia Film Group. It's just a matter of contacting the theater chain, at best, it's just squeezing out a few of its own movies. And the benefits obtained are quite lucrative.

And in a state of parity. It will also be of great help to the box office results of the movie "Red Cliff".

In the end, after some discussion, Huaxia Film Group agreed to the bet.

The countless grievances and grievances before and after have made countless news media and people excited.

entertainment industry, but I haven't seen such a straightforward collision for many years. In the past, even if there were, it would not be exposed to the public, but this time it is different!

And the two parties that collide with each other are both super powerful existences!

Warner Bros., the world's No. 1 entertainment company, has the main movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", the strongest actor of the new generation in China, Menjie, the world's leading director, Li Case, the world's top director, Wu Yusen, the top Chinese actor, Liang Chaowei, the top company in the mainland, Huaxia Film Group, and the film "Red Cliff", which has the highest investment in recent years......

and so on. Placed on the two sides of this competition, it makes this battle more eye-catching, and at present, it seems that it has considerable benefits for the movies "Lust and Caution", "Spartan 300 Warriors" and "Red Cliff".

Even for a long time to come, these three movies will be the darlings of countless news media, even if some news is not very important, people will cheer.

Fans have also gone out together to support Menjie, Wang Lihong, Liang Chaowei, and Jin Chengwu......

Of course, there are more fans who are looking forward to it, and the three movies that can definitely be called 'world-class level' will inevitably bring a visual feast to everyone!

Of course, the first object of benefit is obviously the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", after all, among the three movies, the movie "Lust Caution" and "Red Cliff" have not yet officially started filming, and the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" has been determined and will be officially released in early March 2007!

Of course, when people were looking forward to it, Wan Tongtong was not idle, but directly launched a negotiation with Warner Bros. that lasted for a long time!

This negotiation can be said to be very important to celebrity film and television companies, and in fact, this negotiation has lasted for more than a month!

That's ......

Questions about the release of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" in China!

In fact, what Menjie didn't know was that Warner Bros. Entertainment had already begun planning for the simultaneous global release of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" a long time ago.

For Huaxia, a mature market, Warner Bros. naturally didn't want to let it go, and once described the content of the movie in detail through various relationships.

As expected, the movie is full of bloody and violent clips, and it will be graded in the United States, in China......

Unless you want to be cut to pieces, or invest a lot of money to make some 'transformations' to the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", and then dredge up the relationship between the upper and lower levels a little, you can make this movie officially released in China!

The former Warner Bros. is naturally unwilling, even if it gives up the Chinese market, Warner Bros. does not want the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" to be cut to the point that the donkey's lips are not right, as for the issue of investing a sum of money......

After careful calculation, if this is really done, I am afraid that the huge 'transformation fee' can completely offset the box office performance of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" in China!

In other words, the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" did a lot of work, took a lot of effort, and couldn't make much money in Huaxia at the very end, so he invested it all.

So in the end, after the high-level decision, give up the Chinese market!

Originally, this was the news that only the senior management of Warner Bros. knew about Lu Dao, but if it wasn't for Menjie's possession of the Heavenly King system, he wouldn't have been able to know, so he naturally couldn't act!

Then, Menjie naturally sent Wan Tongtong and Warner Bros. executives to negotiate, but the negotiations that lasted for more than a month were not happy.

Warner Bros. wanted to get a large amount of money from Wan Tongtong's hands, but this movie was released in China, and it was already good not to lose money, so pay Warner Bros. a sum of money......

Wouldn't it be a loss?

So all along, the negotiations between the two sides have not been successful.

Fortunately, this time Huaxia Film Group suddenly stood up, giving Menjie a good reason and excuse!

Even if it is to win over Huaxia Film Group and get benefits from them, this unprofitable deal, Menjie is willing to do it!

Winning bets can be regarded as profitable!

That is, after the bet with Huaxia Film Group officially took effect and was made public, Wan Tongtong once again started the final negotiation with Warner Bros., and finally successfully negotiated the deal with not a lot of box office shares.

At the same time, celebrity film and television companies also set up a special team and began to overcome the huge scissors hanging above the heads of the Chinese film industry!

In fact, after negotiating everything with Warner Bros., the celebrity film and television company has contacted the main creators of the movie, and after spending a small amount of money, they carried out the second round of shooting for as little as a day or two, as well as a week at most, and the second post-production.

Shape a healthier version of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" and submit it to strive to be released in China.

The reason why the special group was set up was just to preserve the style of the film itself to the greatest extent, and that's it!

Although the celebrity film and television company has invested a lot of money in the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", even if it is very popular, I am afraid it will not make much money, but this is the first film of the celebrity film and television company, and it is a crucial one related to whether the celebrity film and television company can officially enter the Chinese film industry, and it is absolutely impossible to lose!

Of course, these jobs were handed over to Wan Tongtong, and at this time, Menjie was enjoying a free and sumptuous dinner in a hotel in South Korea! (To be continued......)
