Chapter 712: Pick-up
"Wake up, sir! Wake up! ”
A soft call pulled Sun Peng out of his sleep. Then, as soon as I regained consciousness, I heard the announcement on the plane repeating: "Ladies and gentlemen, our plane is about to land, please sit in your seat and fasten your seatbelts......"
"Thank you!"
Subconsciously said thank you first, and Sun Peng sat up with a yawn.
"You're welcome, do you need anything else?"
maintained the most gentle smile on her face, and the beautiful flight attendant's eyes were full of spring water, which kept falling on Sun Peng's face.
"Oh, no need, thanks."
Shaking his head, Sun Peng was desperately driving away the sleepiness in his head, and he didn't look at the other party at all.
waited until this beautiful young lady left with disappointment, Liu Chang next to him suddenly smiled and said, "You slept all the way this time, and that girl also came to see you all the way...... Tell me, why don't you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade so much? ”
"Ha ......"
In response to Liu Chang, there was a big yawn, Sun Peng turned his head to look at the assistant, and was suddenly startled: "Sister Chang, what are you ...... It can't be that you haven't slept all the way, right? ”
"Well, I can't sleep."
Blinking vigorously, as if this could drive away the sleeping demon, Liu Chang nodded a little listlessly. I don't know when it started, Liu Chang has never slept on the plane, even if it is a long-distance trip across the Atlantic, so at this time he can only cheer up and whisper: "Okay, hurry up and clean up, the plane is about to land." ”
"Oh, okay."
Sun Peng immediately rubbed his face dryly and waited for the plane to stop completely.
But just when he was about to wait quietly, Liu Chang didn't mean to take a break, but cheered up and continued to whisper: "By the way, Jiajia arrived at the Beijing International Airport two hours ago, and her brother took her home...... Xiaoya came with the news, that Mr. Howard was very generous, and directly offered a high price of five million dollars, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the song "E ill rock you......"
"Huh? So high? ”
When he heard this, Sun Peng couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Five million dollars, at the current exchange rate, isn't it more expensive than that advertising song?
"Price is not the problem, the key is the sensational effect!"
Covering his mouth and yawning, Liu Chang, who had been surprised not long ago, blinked and said: "You must know that spending five million to buy a song itself is not a problem for that rich man at all, but it is a good publicity for the Knicks...... Besides, people can't always lower the price than Feiming Technology, right? ”
Looking at Liu Chang, who was blinking vigorously, Sun Peng was speechless for a moment.
"E ill Rock You" is undeniably excellent, and it is also recognized as one of the most suitable songs on the planet for use in the arena, so last night, Candace's singing voice conquered the audience so quickly that everyone sang and sang together, and the fourth quarter was forced to be delayed by five minutes......
But in any case, five million dollars is a bit too high.
On the song "E Ill Rock You" alone, Sun Peng certainly doesn't think it's worth five million, in fact, if you count all the subsequent earnings of this song, let alone five million, maybe it can be earned back even if it is ten million dollars! But what we are talking about here is the income after the release of the song, including the income of the singer who takes it everywhere, commercial performances and other aspects, but the five million people gave Sun Peng this time is just to buy the copyright!
Five million is undoubtedly a sky-high price!
Of course, because of the experience of Niu Yunsheng paying money last time, and then after Liu Chang's explanation, Sun Peng roughly understood that for Mr. Howard or the Knicks, the five million bought was actually a propaganda, especially a propaganda on the other side of the Pacific. You only need to look at Niu Yunsheng's decision more than half a year ago......
"Sure enough, are the business tycoons all over the world so bold?"
The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Sun Peng nodded with a strange expression.
At this moment, I am afraid that the name of my 30 million songs is really going to be confirmed - if you count it, 5 million US dollars is more than 30 million Chinese coins! And if you think about it, the Knicks, who have spent a lot of money, will definitely not deal with it in a low-key manner, and when the time comes, it will definitely be a lot more lively......
"Boom ......"
Just as Sun Peng was finishing packing, the plane landed at Tokyo International Airport with a roar.
According to the original plan, the four of them should have flown to the capital together, but because of the song Sun Peng wrote on the court, Sun Ya could only stay temporarily and negotiate the follow-up with the owner of the Knicks. But Sun Peng's side changed his plan temporarily because of the strong invitation of the Japanese side, and flew to Tokyo with his assistant - the release of "Spirited Away's Hidden Spirit" in Japan is about to end, and he really needs to come over.
Of course, he can't forget his "Kill Bill", which will be released at the end of the year......
"By the way, be careful when you get off the plane."
Just when Sun Peng was leisurely distracted, Liu Chang suddenly said: "This time is different from the previous times, I'm afraid you can't keep a low profile......
……
"This old white teacher is really big-hearted."
At the exit of Tokyo International Airport, Ichiro Yamada couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "The Japan of "Spirited Away" has created such a brilliant box office, but he has never been here? Haha, you must know that in the investment in this animation, his dream factory is the largest! ”
For the reporters around him, Yamada Ichiro turned a blind eye.
"Perhaps, that's his pride."
Thinking about it for a while, director Kenji Matsumoto said thoughtfully: "For us, Spirited Away is the company's most important project this year, especially when the box office of the movie easily broke through 20 billion, we are only staring at the box office record of Japan!" But for him, there is also the new movie he made, the new album of the Chinese diva, and of course, his most important job is to write a book...... Hehe, even if it's animation, I'm afraid he cares more about "Frozen" in the United States, right? ”
"Uh......"
Although it sounded very uncomfortable, after a moment of silence, Yamada Ichiro nodded.
Not reconciled, but I have to admit it!
"Spirited Away's Hideaway" has set off an unprecedented wave in Japan, breaking a decade-long box office record and now reaching a peak of 29 billion yen with more than 100 million yen a week. In Huaxia, Lao Bai's stronghold, Spirited Away also made a great deal of effort and won a super high box office; Of course, there are also South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places, which have also set one brilliant record after another.
But in other regions, Spirited Away's influence has been greatly diminished.
Although it has the momentum of a box office hit, this kind of Japanese animation has performed mediocre in several other big markets, such as Europe, North America, and even South America. It was just released in the United States last week, and the box office in the first week was only a pitiful more than $3 million, and the total box office is expected to be only more than 10 million, which is not at the same level as the performance in East Asia.
Compared with Hollywood, the influence of Japanese animated films is still smaller.
So even if one record after another is set, both Kenji Matsumoto and Ichiro Yamada actually know very well in their hearts that if "Frozen" really has the quality of "Spirited Away's Hide", then the global box office is definitely not comparable to their own animation, and the gap between distribution and publicity alone is enough to make people desperate!
So for the director's opinion, Ichiro Yamada can only be silent.
However, after a moment of silence, Yamada Ichiro's eyes became firm again: "Because of this, we must continue to cooperate with this old white teacher!" Not only because of the scripts he wrote, the music he wrote, but also because of his influence in China and North America today! ”
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Kenji Matsumoto was slightly stunned, and Kenji Matsumoto quickly nodded.
The news of yesterday's basketball game spread much faster than he imagined, on the one hand, because Chen Feifei's new album is now sweeping the world, and on the other hand, because Spirited Away is in Japan as it is in full swing!
Looking at the arrival information of the flight on the big screen at the airport, Kenji Matsumoto took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly......
