"Sorry sir, I think you dated my girlfriend in front of me, so rude to me, you should apologize to me!" Chen Chumo didn't wait for Xiao Xiao to answer, he responded first.

"Oh? You're Shandy's boyfriend, but I've heard she still doesn't have a boyfriend. Jon is a famous director, and many paparazzi can't wait to see the scandal of him making a fool of himself, and they can't help but be cautious when they hear Chen Chumo say this.

"Yes, Shandy was single an hour ago, but now, she does have a partner, so please gentleman can take care of himself." Chen Chumo said.

"Shanti, is it true? If this gentleman really said it, then I really feel heartbroken. Jon turned to Xiao Xiao and asked. He is not a fledgling hairy boy, but he does not easily listen to Chen Chumo's family.

"Mr. Jon, introduce me, this is Daniel, my boyfriend." Xiao Xiao said a little embarrassed.

It doesn't look like a couple, how can a couple be so restrained, it should still be in the dating stage, right? Seeing that the two of you are quite right, Lang Qing concubine, ok, then I won't get involved.

An introduction is naturally inevitable.

"Mr. Jon, please stay, I want to talk to you about a business, I don't know if I'm interested?" Jon was just about to turn around and leave, when Chen Chumo suddenly said.

"Daniel, I'm just a director, an artist, I can't do business, I'm sorry I can't help?" Jon thought that Chen Chumo was a salesman of which company, and immediately rejected Chen Chumo's proposal.

"I like the work "Iron Man" very much, and the 1.3 billion people in China also love it very much, and I am very much looking forward to the early release of "Iron Man 2" directed by Jon in China." Chen Chumo complimented.

"Thank you, thank you very much for the recognition of the Chinese people, and we are very much looking forward to seeing the audience as soon as possible." Jon politely replied.

Whether it is a foreigner or a Chinese, everyone likes to listen to good words, and Chen Chumo's compliments made Jon very useful.

"Here's the thing, Mr. Jon, I have a friend in China, and he is very optimistic about the Chinese film and television entertainment market in the next 20 years. Some time ago, he just took over a cultural and entertainment media company and injected billions of dollars, aiming to lay out the film and television entertainment industry and seize market opportunities. My friend is different from most film and television culture companies, in addition to investing in films, he attaches great importance to the layout of the cinema line terminal, and so far, he has directly or indirectly held forty percent of the Huaxia cinema line terminals. Chen Chumo said.

He doesn't have any friends, in fact, the person Chen Chumo said is himself. Previously, VSTART Fund's investment in Hengda, Yida, and Country Yuan's three real estate companies was overinvested due to the reluctance of their controllers to sell more shares. Chen Chumo asked Tao Wei to invest all the remaining funds of the Cayman Fund in Xinyicheng Film and Television Entertainment and Lekshu Pharmaceutical, and designated that the funds invested in Xinyicheng Company could only be used to establish and acquire cinema chains.

In Chen Chumo's view, the cinema chain is an important part of the film and television entertainment market, and the introduction of high-quality films, through flexible film scheduling, without bearing the market risk of the film, can often increase the income of the cinema chain, and ensure income during drought and flood, which is really much more cost-effective than making a few movies indiscriminately to buy.

"Iron Man 1 has been so successful, and I think Iron Man 2 will be even more successful as well. I have a little bit of equity in that company, so what I say counts. On behalf of the company, we now request to establish a strategic partnership with Paramount and Marvel Studios in the film industry, and in the future, all films produced by Paramount and Marvel will be sold by our company in China, and we promise that the rebate will not be lower than the market estimate. Chen Chumo continued.

"Daniel, are you really from Huaxia Film and Television Company? Does your company own cinemas that account for 40% of China's market share? I'm just a director and can't give you any answers and promises. Jesse, the president of Paramount, is over there, please come with me and I'll introduce you to you. Jon said excitedly.

I didn't expect an opportunity to eat and greet beautiful women, to be able to meet a film and television producer and distributor with such strength in Huaxia, if it is really as he said, then Paramount and Marvel will have a huge film market in Huaxia that is not inferior to North America, and these two companies will be more competitive than other Hollywood film companies in the overseas market in the next few years. Competitiveness is money, and director Jon, a commercial director, is naturally full of interest in Chen Chumo's proposal.

"The protagonist of "Iron Man 2", Robert Downey Jr., my best friend, will not surprisingly star in future sequels." Walking over to the table of the group of people who had just come in and ordered, Jon introduced.

Robert Downey Jr., 175 years tall, is not very tall, with a stubbled beard, coupled with mature and steady words and deeds, he is very attractive, no wonder he can become a Hollywood superstar who fascinates everyone.

"Scarlett, Gwyneth, and Mickey Rourke are all the main creators of our work." Jon went on to introduce the others one by one.

Scarlett is petite, blonde and blue-eyed, and has an extremely beautiful figure, Jon has a good eye, and this heroine is very well chosen.

And Gwyneth and Mickey Rourke are both tall actors, although their appearance is average, they have a good temperament, they belong to the type of people who are good-looking, and they are more than enough to play supporting roles in "Iron Man 2".

After a lot of work, Chen Chumo found that everyone is not simple, no wonder the previous work "Iron Man" was so successful, it turned out that the selection of actors was already perfect.

Finally, I solemnly introduce these two, this is Jesse, the president of Paramount Pictures, and this is Robin, the president of Marvel Studios. Friends, this is Huaxia Film and Television Producer and Distributor, Daniel. Jon continued.

The person who can be introduced by the great director Jon will inevitably not be an ordinary person, and after the introduction, everyone will of course have a pleasantry.

"Daniel, Robin, Jon, let's go to the private room and eat and talk." Paramount President Jesse said after listening to Jon's whisper.

The guests were as they pleased, and everyone naturally readily agreed to go to the private room.

"Daniel, you are the distributor, according to you, how much can the total box office of Huaxia movies reach this year? And how much will the box office of "Iron Man 2" be released next year? China has a large population, how many years do you estimate that the total annual box office of movies will surpass the North American market? After a brief bite to eat in the private room, Jesse asked Chen Chumo.

"Mr. Jesse, first of all, I don't know anything about films, and I'm a film distributor who doesn't know anything about film. I can't answer any of your questions. If you want to know the answer to this, I can give you the phone number of the person in charge of the company, and he will naturally explain it to you well. Chen Chumo said truthfully.

Of course, Jesse will not make this call, he is the president of a Hollywood film giant, and he already has the answer in his heart, and the question just now is just to investigate Chen Chumo's cognition of the film industry.

"I heard Daniel that you want to introduce our "Iron Man 2", so how high does the box office in China do you estimate that the film will be released next year?" Robin asked.

Marvel is Paramount's production partner, and the higher the box office, the more dividends they will pay. As the head of Marvel Studios, Robin is of course most concerned about profit.

"Mr. Robin, as I said earlier, I don't know anything about the film industry, and I still can't answer your question, sorry! As for the box office estimate, I would like to hear what Jesse and Robin think. Chen Chumo said.

"This year's box office in Huaxia is expected to be 13 billion Chinese coins, we are a big production, using the average box office of Hollywood in China in the past, how can the box office of "Iron Man 2" next year be 300 million." Jesse said.

"Mr. Jesse, I don't think this film can reach a box office of 300 million in China. I checked it on my phone just now, and Hollywood blockbusters are very popular in China on the surface, but there are not many successful Hollywood blockbusters. The successful films in China are either films with a deep mass base, or films with Chinese elements, such as Transformers and Kung Fu Panda! The box office of the first part of "Iron Man" is less than 100 million in China, and the mass base is still thin. Therefore, in my opinion, the box office of "Iron Man 2" will not show a significant increase next year, at most 150 million Chinese coins. Chen Chumo said.

Nima, didn't you say you didn't understand movies? How come you can calculate the same data as the box office estimate we asked a professional company to make such a rough calculation? Hell yes!

"Daniel, what you said is also very reasonable, we don't expect "Iron Man 2" to bring us much box office revenue next year, but now it is still in the stage of capturing the masses, laying a good foundation for the success of the third and fourth parts in the future!" Jesse saw that Chen Chumo was not easy to fool, so he had to explain truthfully.

"If everyone here can trust me, I am willing to win the priority distribution rights of the Iron Man series in China, and still change the market, and sign a minimum box office guarantee with Paramount." Chen Chumo said.

He just took a cursory look on the Internet, and now the cross-border distribution of films, the popular reserve price buyout dividend system, in order to achieve the maximum benefit of the film company in the market.

The so-called reserve price buyout dividend system means that the distributor must ensure that the box office of the film can negotiate the box office reserve price, if the final box office cannot be reached, then the distributor has to pay out of pocket to subsidize the difference between the actual box office and the reserve price. Once the total box office exceeds the reserve price, the film party can get a small amount of dividends beyond the reserve price in addition to the share of the floor price. This not only protects the interests of the filmmaker, but also takes into account the distributor's pursuit of high box office.
