Regarding Universal Studios, people spent 300,000 US dollars at the beginning, but Bai Shiqiu didn't want a penny, which seems to be a very bad deal, but in fact, it is a small loss and a big advantage.

There are some things that exist that are reasonable.

For example, when the movie "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was made, why did Columbia give up the box office in the mainland?

This movie is all their money, but they have lost an important market.

According to Bai Shiqiu's analysis, there must be some reasons why they must give up, of course, the undercover agents, He Ping and Chen Guofu must have played a considerable role.

However, is there only an undercover reason?

Today, Bai Shiqiu is going to smash it into Hollywood, and he has somewhat experienced the mood of Colombia at the beginning.

First of all, if you want to go to an unfamiliar market, you need to find some relationships, and the cooperation between Colombia and Huayi is probably more important than the advantages of Huayi at that time, that is, some of Huayi's relationships.

This is often more important than money, foreigners have to come to our China and value these, and we have to go to foreign countries, of course, we must also pay attention to these, otherwise those who are not familiar with life will die.

Secondly, there are some regulations, if the Colombian company does not find a company to cooperate with in the mainland, and they make a movie on their own, then this movie is an overseas film and needs to be introduced.

There are a lot of restrictions, and even if it is introduced, it can be released in the mainland, and what about the box office share after that?

According to some regulations on imported films, Columbia can only get about 10% of the mainland box office.

That's it, 10% of the box office.

Take the mainland film market at that time, that is, a movie with a box office of more than 100 million, and the box office of Columbia Company was only 10 million, and then converted into dollars to the United States, that is, more than 1 million US dollars.

This is still an algorithm with a box office of over 100 million.

It would be much better to cooperate with domestic companies to turn the film into a co-production, but in terms of box office sharing, there will still be various constraints, and the revenue may not be able to exceed 10%.

Bai Shiqiu is now a Columbia company that wants to break into the American film market, what will he do?

Although there are not many hard and fast rules here in the United States, but an intruder will never be welcome, and want to take a share of the money from Hollywood companies?

It's definitely not that easy.

Bai Shiqiu is not a naïve guy, so he chose to simply sell all his interests in the North American market and exchange these for the interests of the domestic market.

There is a completely different thing about this than Columbia.

North America can't watch our Chinese movies, and the film scheduling is not good, and the fan acceptance is much worse.

But what about a Hollywood movie in our country?

This is the essential difference.

Moreover, he doesn't want the box office in North America, but maybe this movie can help him increase his popularity in North America.

In fact, before the negotiation, Bai Shiqiu had already thought about this exchange, but it would be too boring to meet Ron, an American pretending criminal, and not to educate him.

As for this, this Ron really doesn't know who he Bai Shiqiu is......

Whatever.

Lao Tzu also made all kinds of random offers, didn't he also propose to be a director, hehe......

However, there was an incident, that is, whether "Assembly" could become the No. 1 domestic film box office was given more significance.

Breaking the domestic highest box office record of "Golden Armor", isn't it simple?

It's a big deal!

To tell the truth, it is definitely a good way, and even Bai Shiqiu thought of this method before.

You must know that it is of great significance to create such a record, and in terms of the cost of brushing the box office, the momentum of "The Assembly" is so good that it doesn't cost much money at all.

The budget will not exceed 10 million.

Now, however, there is more to it.

Bai Shiqiu summed it up......

"Damn, do you mean that in order to cooperate with the Yankees, we still have to play this method?"

Thinking of this, a righteous spirit rose in my heart, Lao Tzu didn't brush it anymore!

I don't know why it's very fulfilling.

Bai Shiqiu's visa still has some time, and he is not in a hurry to go back now, especially the old drunkard Keaton has been impressed by Bai Shiqiu at this time, and he gave him a thumbs up as soon as he saw him, calling him a genius in negotiation.

No way, this old guy thinks that "Assembly" will definitely break our domestic box office record.

If you want to say that this reason is also interesting, after going back, Keaton asked Bai Shiqiu, what is your domestic box office record?

Bai Shiqiu said that "Golden Armor" is 330 million RMB.

It's RMB, and this number is a little more, but the old Keaton keeps asking, how much if it is converted into dollars?

Bai Shiqiu wanted to give him a kick and let him check it himself, but out of respect for the old and love for the young, and out of the principle of not wanting to be blackmailed by this guy, he still said that it was more than 40 million US dollars, less than 50 million.

As a result, the old Keaton laughed and said that such a simple record was not necessarily broken.

Damn, this old Keaton is a landlord and old money mentality.

This record is really nothing in the United States, but it is different in China.

But Keaton doesn't care, anyway, he thinks this thing is done, so this guy is awesome, and he tells others everywhere that he is going to star in a blockbuster movie and that he wants to make a comeback, which has attracted the attention of many Hollywood snobs who were very DISS before, and I really want to contact this former Batman, the current comeback old man.

How do you connect with feelings in the U.S.?

PARTY.

……

"It's not going to be that kind of popping, is it?"

"Of course not, at least not on the surface, as far as ...... Do you think a group of people together might not do something? ”

"You foreigners are just too messy."

"What are you talking about, Kid White?"

"Oh, nothing."

There was a huge letter B at the door, and Bai Shiqiu had some strange associations with this letter, so he asked.

When I drove a rented BMW inside, I saw fountains, green meadows, and rows of luxury cars, and the BMW was really dwarfed.

If you want to say where you can see luxury in this world, except for the home of the Middle Eastern oil boss, that is the Washington circle, and then here, Beverly Hills, California, where there are many stars and mansions.

When I came here, I realized that the money was so not enough to spend, and the celebrities here bought a shopping bag casually, the kind that they carried in the supermarket, and they had to come with more than 5,000 US dollars, kraft paper, and a LV printed on it, which is pronounced as a donkey, and it is environmentally friendly to the outside world.

Nima's environmental protection.

The owner of this mansion is also interesting, he is a comedy star, Bill Morey, so there is a big B on the door, this guy ...... It's similar to our ancient Chinese Li Mansion and Liu Mansion, but such a big B can be loaded.

Of course, the above are the views of Bai Shiqiu, a Chinese, and many people also think that this B is a bit dazzling, but they will not think like this, and they will generally have a relationship with the owner of the mansion.

"Hello sir."

"This pretty lady ......"

"Can I give you a drink?"

Today's PARTY, Bai Shiqiu asked before, and old Keaton said that he was not familiar with this Bill, but it didn't matter, anyway, it was a party, everyone mixed up, and it was good to be familiar.

Old Keaton is not bad, he keeps introducing people from all walks of life to Bai Shiqiu, to be honest, he can't remember what kind of person this is, and what kind of screenwriter of the film company he is.

It seems that there are countless guests.

Not only men, but also a lot of women, chatting and drinking one by one, this party is still very quiet, and there is no messy music, after all, it is high society, so, it is slightly dull, as for whether anyone is boring, and then find an opportunity to sneak into a certain room to release himself, Bai Shiqiu is really ......

I seem to have seen a few.

"Hehe...... Keaton smiled slightly when he saw this, "Don't worry, there will be a lot of women rushing over." ”

Bai Shiqiu shook his head, indicating that he was a righteous gentleman.

In fact, this kind of occasion is a good opportunity to establish contact, there are many people who can't come, it is very difficult to squeeze into this level, if it is not for the good foundation of the old Keaton, just with the two of them The rented BMW, there is no door.

For Bai Shiqiu, what Keaton said is that this handsome young man, he is a star of China's NO1, and he also has his own film company, in short, how awesome to say.

"Wow!"

"It's amazing."

Compliments like this are endless.

"It's over." Bai Shiqiu has to maintain his demeanor, and he also tells the truth, especially what Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li are talking about, then our masters also tell the truth, they have all cooperated, and they are also our good senior sisters.

That's all kinds of admiration.

This kind of occasion, to be honest, made Bai Shiqiu a little tired, and felt that it was not interesting, but he also had to deal with it, in case which relationship would be useful in the future.

"I'm going to smoke a cigarette." Bai Shiqiu said hello to Keaton.

"Good cigars in the living room." Keaton reminded him that the old guy had already seen the white boy's annoyance.

Bai Shiqiu gave a sharp look back.

……

Finding a place with few people, Bai Shiqiu took out a cigarette and took a puff.

To say that this is also communication, he is not a junior brother, but in this circle, he is too strange, and the races are different, which is very uncomfortable.

But in order to make Yankee money, and to broaden the way for yourself, no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to hold back.

"I'll go back after smoking this." Bai Shiqiu muttered to himself.

"What are you talking about? Can you tell me? ”

But at this moment, a woman's voice sounded behind him.

Bai Shiqiu turned around and saw a beauty, wearing a bright red sundress with heavy makeup, but it didn't block the little freckles on her face.

The skin of white people in Europe and the United States is generally not very good, and most of the women have freckles, such as Lindsay Lohan, which looks like a panic.

The one in front of her is not bad, and besides, her eyes are really big, and her mouth is so big, so big that Bai Shiqiu can see who she is at a glance.

"You're Emma......" blurted out, but was immediately alert to something was wrong.

"You know me?" This beauty was very surprised, and looked a little confused.

"I've heard, that, Keaton told me who is here today, and what is the last name? I forgot. Bai Shiqiu hurriedly covered it up.

"Emma Stone." The beauty replied.

"Call me White."

Emma Stone, yes, that's her.

Bai Shiqiu was actually a little surprised at first sight, but fortunately, he had watched the "Too Bad", that is, Emma Stone, who was not yet twenty years old, and the later Emma Stone, the appearance was very different.

Later, the 'Sister Stone', compared to her now, is definitely disabled, at this time Emma, her face is quite fleshy, there is a sense of youth, not the one later, the eyes are indeed very big, but the collagen on the face is almost lost, although it is also beautiful, but it is really incomparable with now.

The previous gaffe, because of this, he was a little surprised.

"You're here to smoke too?"

"yes."

"Give."

“3Q。”

Bai Shiqiu handed over one, and he also came to one, and started a new round of swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

It's quite interesting, and it feels like I was secretly smoking on the roof of the school building.

"This cigarette ......," Emma Stone frowned as she took a puff.

"What's wrong?" Bai Shiqiu is a little strange, the camels in the United States are okay.

"Nothing." Emma Stone didn't say much.

Then continue to smoke, the two are not familiar with each other, but we have to talk, otherwise it will be boring.

"You ......" Bai Shiqiu remembered.

As a result, Emma took it, "You really haven't seen me before?" ”

"No, I don't."

"Oh, that's good...... By the way, I heard that you are a very powerful star, from China. ”

"Sort of."

Seriously, Bai Shiqiu's English is a little struggling to cope.

"White, you're going to make a big movie with Michael Keaton?"

Big-film, the meaning is very simple, but there is actually a company with this name.

Bai Shiqiu nodded.

Emma pinched her cigarette at this time and asked directly, "What do you think of me?" Can you play a role? ”

"Huh?" Bai Shiqiu didn't expect that the other party would be so direct.

"What's wrong?" Emma Stone was curious, "What's the problem?" Do you think I'm bad there? By the way, still have to audition? ”

"This ......" Bai Shiqiu was a little hesitant, because he had promised Tangtang to arrange a role for her in this movie.

In fact, "Trevor" is a men's film, and there are definitely not many female characters, but it is good for Tangtang to be able to show her face in Hollywood films.

His hesitation turned out to be something different for Emma.

"What do you want? Do you want that? ”

"What?"

Bai Shiqiu was very confused.

But at this time, Emma came over, approached him and said, "Don't pretend, you've been eyeing me for a long time, and you already recognize me, right?" ”

“？？？” Several question marks instantly popped up on Bai Shiqiu's head at this time.

However, the girl was action-oriented, squatted down directly, and said, "Give me a role, and the rest is up to you." ”

After speaking, he only moved his hands...... No, it's also mouthful.

Bai Shiqiu was shocked, "Is there a misunderstanding?" ”

Misunderstood?

People don't talk to Bai Shiqiu at all, and there is already room to speak......

Hiss~~
