Chapter 1335: Rain and Dew
For Rainbow Pictures and Ger Hailan, Sun Peng really doesn't mean to look down on it, he just looks down on it.
If it is "Frequency of Life and Death", it doesn't matter which film company it is handed over, because the investment of tens of millions is not high, and Sun Peng is not looking forward to the future box office, and he has not even thought about it must be released abroad. But "The Martian" is different, it is an investment of hundreds of millions, and the return of the global market must be considered!
With the strength of Rainbow Pictures, I'm afraid that I need help from others when it is released to Southeast Asia, right?
So this movie can only consider the Big Four.
Although the distribution capacity in Europe and the United States is not as good as that of Hollywood's big companies, the Big Four have gained a firm foothold in Asia, and even developed countries such as Japan and South Korea do not need to rely on any external forces, which is the most important thing for Sun Peng and the most gratifying thing for him. And he also knows that even the big four in Europe and the United States are not without a little distribution power.
Among them, there is even Sun Peng's credit.
After all, the movies with Lao Bai's name in recent years basically represent the highest wave of Chinese films at the overseas box office, and even when talking about release, it will be easier for people to accept it when they see that the screenwriter is laobai. And after this year's summer vacation, this situation will become more and more obvious.
So in this case, Rainbow Pictures wants to take "The Martian"?
Even if the dividend ratio is twice as high as that of the four giants, Sun Peng will not agree.
But......
"Nanhai Pictures has a Little Wizard series, and they don't think about anything in a short period of time."
After the second sister called, Sun Peng shook his head with only consideration: "In addition, although the Forbidden City and Lotus have cooperated very happily, they will have "Terminator 2" next, and I also want to give them "Inception" ......"
"Galloping horses?"
"Well, I want to give the galloping horse."
After pondering for a moment, Sun Peng nodded with certainty.
"Mission Impossible" that year caused him to have a huge disagreement with Galloping Horse Pictures, which led to the fact that everyone never worked together again in the following years. But because of someone's matchmaking, Sun Peng finally gave Galloping Horse another "Die Hard" and restarted the cooperation with Galloping Horse Pictures.
This very cool action movie has won almost two billion in China and nearly $100 million overseas.
Although the overseas box office is a little shivering, it has nothing to do with the distribution ability of Galloping Horse Pictures, the key is the theme of the movie, as well as the box office appeal of the director and starring in general. And the most important thing is that this cooperation with Galloping Horse attaches special importance to it, including the follow-up negotiations of "Die Hard 2", which makes Sun Peng quite satisfied.
In this case, Sun Peng really intends to add another "common" option to himself.
The agent also deeply agreed with this, Sun Ya said with a smile: "That's fine, anyway, the more film companies tied to you, the better, especially these giants, who have too much influence in the circle, just like this summer's ......"
Sun Ya was chattering on the phone, and Sun Peng was listening casually with his mobile phone.
In fact, he didn't think about it so much, he just felt that film companies each had their own strengths, but he was not a picky eater when he watched movies back then, and he dabbled in almost every genre, action, suspense, animation, science fiction, magic, ...... It's all inclusive. And all kinds of movies on the planet also have a large number of classics!
In this way, it is necessary to divide the labor among the four giants. For example, a small wizard series, is it enough to make Nanhai Pictures a world-class company, and it will have a soft spot for fantasy or fairy movies in the future? For example, Lotus and the Forbidden City are particularly fond of co-shooting, and action movies are also their strengths, so it seems natural for them to have the action-oriented "Terminator 2" and "Inception" in sci-fi.
As for Galloping Horse Pictures, although they are also good at action themes, Sun Peng feels that they have to be labeled as "good at science fiction", and I believe that Lu Ganren will not disagree, right?
Everyone knows what a huge market science fiction movies are!
"Hehe, that's it!"
classifying the four major movie giants in China in his heart made Sun Peng feel an inexplicable sense of refreshment, and soon took advantage of the second sister's speech to smile and said: "Sister, it's such a happy decision, anyway, the conditions offered by several of them are similar, let's start talking about the details with the galloping horse......
……
"If you get Inception, you're unlikely to get The Martian, and vice versa."
When calling Zhou An, the boss of Lotus Pictures, Fang Lanshen said very distressedly: "That woman said, if you add a "Terminator 2", we will have two sci-fi blockbusters to be produced in the next two or three years, and there is no room for the third part in terms of funds or energy, so ......"
"Hehe, do you believe that?"
Before Fang Lanshen finished speaking, Zhou An had already asked with a smile.
Shaking his head helplessly, Fang Lanshen smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the important thing is that the woman said it like this!" So you can understand that Mr. Lao Bai thinks the same way! ”
I don't know when they began to use "that woman" to refer to Sun Ya, a powerful agent.
And if you don't have the funds and energy, of course, it is difficult to convince the two giants. You must know that both Lotus and the Forbidden City are now one of the four giants of Huaxia Film and Television, not to mention filming three major productions at the same time, even if the number doubles, they have this confidence - it's a big deal to find a few companies to cooperate, or go to the bank for a loan.
In these years, with Lao Bai's script, I am afraid that there is no cooperative company and no bank willing to lend?
It's just that this kind of talk is meaningless when negotiating with Sun Ya, because people don't like you at all!
So after being silent for a moment, Zhou An sighed and said, "It seems that even if the two of us join forces, it is not so awe-inspiring in the eyes of that old white teacher." ”
The cooperation between the Forbidden City and Lotus Pictures is, of course, purposeful.
Usually everyone plays their own game, but as long as there is a new script or a new one from Lao Bai, they will join forces to "bid" to ensure the maximum success rate! Because they know that Lao Bai may not care whether the final box office of the movie is 100 million more or 100 million less, but he cares very, very much about whether the film can be released overseas to more countries and let more foreigners see his film! The combination of the two companies will undoubtedly make the scale of overseas issuance larger and smoother!
And the cooperation between the two giants can indeed learn from each other's strengths, while also sharing costs and risks.
But Lao Bai's response made the two suddenly understand one thing: even if the two giants join forces, in the eyes of Lao Bai, it is not possible to get everything, or for that man, it is the best result to divide his script relatively evenly among the Big Four.
Rain and dew are even, and at the same time maintain a good relationship, which is undoubtedly the best choice.
Fang Lanshen, who now knows Lao Bai very well and understands that it is difficult to change once the other party decides, sighed again and said: "Mr. Zhou, it is difficult for us to change this result, so let's consider whether to "Inception" or "The Martian". Let's settle down sooner, so we might as well start preparing early......"
