"Miramax acquired all the North American rights to 'The King's Man' for $200,000." Li Junyi smiled bitterly.

Because Li Lin didn't want the Korean people to find out that "The King's Man" was actually the reason for Huaxia Investment, Li Lin established a shell company in South Korea, and the funds were transferred to the crew through Guò, a Korean shell company, in terms of process, this is a local Korean film, but in fact, everyone knows that in addition to a small part of the money earned by this film falling on the director and staff, the other part falls into the hands of the South Korean government, and most of it falls into the hands of Li Lin.

Who asked the South Korean government to reduce taxes a lot for the development of films?

But he just thought about it.

If there is no investment from Li Lin, his "The King's Man" would not know where it is, not everyone can invest billions of won in excellence, and not everyone can invest a lot of money in publicity.

"Sue Sù Miramax, at least a million dollars, otherwise don't talk about it." Li Lin was very domineering and asked Li Junyi to tell Miramax.

"A million dollars." Li Junyi was shocked when he heard this, and he hesitated: "Will Miramax be willing to pay so much money to buy the copyright of our film?" ”

"They will." Li Lin said with a smile, "You don't know the virtues of American distributors, the first thing they choose a movie to see is not the content of the movie, but the box office of the movie." ”

"They firmly believe that fans around the world have something in common, and that a film that is an unprecedented success in any country will be a success in the United States."

Although this belief has been broken over and over again, Hollywood has mined many high-quality films. Even many of Hollywood's small distribution companies were born out of this. ”

Hollywood studios release foreign blockbusters and see the box office, and if a film can be sold in the domestic film market, they will buy it.

There are also award-winning works from major film festivals.

They are always loitering above the major film festivals. Look for the winning entries.

For them, the award-winning works also have losses, but they lose less and make more money, and the risks are always under control.

Film companies are not like the others. A big-selling work is enough to keep them entertained for years.

Like Fox, which invested in "Titanic", this is the case, a "Titanic" made them lie on the gold mountain for 5 years, after 5 consecutive years of losses. Fox was very thoughtful and created the Spider-Man series, but finally did not smash the Fox signboard.

"That's right, Li Linxi." Li Junyi talked about another thing. "Memoirs of a Geisha landed in South Korea this week. Aren't you worried about stopping us? ”

"We have achieved the momentum, and no matter how powerful 'Memoirs of a Geisha' is, it can't stop us." Li Lin's voice was brisk.

Soon, the memoirs of a geisha landed in South Korea, Spielberg's masterpiece, and Korean fans were full of anticipation, and on the same day, many fans poured into Korean cinemas. Want to see Spielberg's new work.

But when they came to the theater, they found that the theater was already crowded. A large number of girls dressed in neutral boys' styles duì at the door of the movie theater.

"Are all these people coming to see our films?" Zhang Ziyi was wearing ordinary long sleeves, with a big toad mirror on her face, and she always kept a smile on her face.

"Spielberg's masterpiece is an expectation for any country." Gong Li smiled faintly, the actress known as the 'muse' didn't seem to take anything to heart.

But also, as one of the best developed actresses in Hollywood among Chinese actresses, she has this capital.

Zhang Ziyi looked at Gong Li's face, and didn't know why a burst of jealousy suddenly appeared.

She has been wearing the title of 'Gong Li's face' since her debut, and the reason why her famous work "My Father and Mother" was selected by Zhang Yimou is also because she 'has a face that looks like Gong Li'.

In China, because of Gong Li's departure, she quickly took over Gong Li's position and became the first of the new generation of actresses in China, and also the first of the four little flowers.

In this era when Shuangbing has not grown up, Si Xiaohuadan can basically be regarded as the top actress.

But when she went to Hollywood and made a movie with Gong Li, the first of the new generation was suppressed by Gong Li, and a face that looked like Gong Li became her nightmare.

No one likes to be called Gong Li when the crew is filming.

"I heard that "The King's Man" is very popular in South Korea? And the starring role is also our Chinese king singer. Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.

"I've been following the situation at home for a long time." Gong Li said softly, "In Hollywood, you will only hear about Hollywood stars every day, and stars from other countries are too far away from Hollywood. ”

Feign! Zhang Ziyi was vicious in her heart.

Stars from other countries too far from Hollywood? Who doesn't know that Hollywood has a special section reserved for foreign stars, and now is the Internet age, and the Internet in the United States can easily go to the Chinese portal to get news.

It is clear that he wants to highlight his noble status, who would not know?

"Think you're going to Hollywood? The media said that you are the first actress in China, so you really think you are the first actress in China? After I gain a foothold in Hollywood, I will let the media know that it is not that I have a face that looks like Gong Li, but that Gong Li has a face that looks like my Zhang Ziyi. ”

Thinking like this, Zhang Ziyi showed a well-behaved smile on her face, "His albums in Huaxia have exceeded 10 million, and his piano music has also been sold all over the world." ”

"In Huaxia, he has filmed two TV series, and the ratings are good."

"I haven't followed TV series for a long time." Gong Li's voice was faint, "That pond is too small. ”

For stars of their level, they can hold up a TV series alone, and movies are their real stage.

His films have been hugely popular in South Korea, with last year's "Memories of Murder" topping the annual box office, and this year's "The King's Man" breaking a series of Korean records. Zhang Ziyi didn't care about Li Lin's achievements.

"It's just a red star in a country." Gong Li's voice was still flat, "If you don't go out of the circle of the country, you will always be just a red star of a country." ”

"Only Hollywood is where we will fight for the future."

Gong Li looked at Zhang Ziyi, "There is still a lack of a Chinese actress in the 20 million club. ”

Lack of Chinese actresses? That Chinese actress must be me! Zhang Ziyi swore in her heart.

The 20 million club is a paradise for the top superstars in the United States, although Hollywood once had actors' salaries exceeding 20 million, but the kind of salary without dividends is completely different from the actors with dividends in the 20 million club.

It can be said that if an actor can't join the 20 million club, it means that the actor is just a superstar, not a world superstar.

Only the actors in the 20 million club are the real world-class superstars, and they are the ones who stand at the top of the global actors.

What actor, what national actor, what superstar of a country, compared with the 20 million club, are just princes, not kings.

"Let's go in and have a look!" Gong Li walked up lightly and bought two tickets, "Go see our opponent." ”

"Also as a Chinese movie star, I don't want him to lose too ugly."

As soon as he walked into the movie theater, Gong Li's face was a little not so good-looking, the movie theater was very noisy and crowded, and it was full of people at a glance.

Crowds!

Zhang Ziyi then walked in, she was also stunned when she came in, and then she glanced at Gong Li, with a meaningful smile on her face, "Sister Gong Li, it seems that he is not as miserable as you say." ”

"It's just a theater."

Gong Li snorted coldly, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Unless a theater is chartered, it is the overall epitome of whether a movie is popular or not, and "The King's Man" was able to attract so many people to watch the movie after winning the Korean box office championship for four consecutive weeks, when facing the impact of "Memoirs of a Geisha".

She felt like she was underestimating the film.

"It's impossible for a Spielberg film to fail." Gong Li cheered himself up in his heart, Spielberg, as a big Hollywood director, is famous all over the world, and his fame can completely radiate to South Korea.

She believes that under Spielberg's call, "Memoirs of a Geisha" is only as popular as "The King's Man".

She still hasn't figured out what kind of movie she's going to play against.

"The King's Man", the refresher of historical records, it almost refreshed a record that can be refreshed, and is a well-deserved overlord of the Korean film and television industry.

Abroad, it may not be as good as "Memoirs of a Geisha", but in South Korea, on its home turf, let alone Spielberg's "Memoirs of a Geisha", even if Cameron's "Titanic" comes, it will sink.

You know, South Korea is notoriously xenophobic.

When "Titanic" swept the entire Korean film industry, major media joined forces to encourage Korean fans, asking Korean fans not to go to the cinema to watch it, and not to make money for foreign blockbusters like "Titanic".

believes that the appearance of "Titanic" is a high mountain that weighs on Korean films.

And such an argument was unexpectedly supported by fans, so "Titanic", which was rampant in the world, was completely tragic, and it was cut off after only winning the box office championship for five weeks, and almost no one went to watch "Titanic".

The unity of South Korea can be seen.

"This movie is so good."

Suddenly, there was a conversation of fans in front of me, "I've watched it four times." ”

"Four times is nothing, I've watched it six times, this "The King's Man" is really good, if I didn't buy a ticket, I would have come to see it tomorrow."

Suddenly, the smile on Gong Li's face stiffened, six views are nothing, the problem is that he didn't buy tickets, and if fans didn't buy tickets, it means that the tickets for "The King's Man" have been sold out. (To be continued......)
