Chapter 234: Invest in Zhou Yang!
"Our film is in China, and in the face of the crazy attack of "The End of the World", we did not fall, but won applause......"
"We are questioned, but we are still strong, we speak up for the unknown civilians, and we will not be silent in the face of discrimination and injustice!"
"With an investment of $200,000, we got $120 million at the box office!"
"Six hundredfold gain!"
"This is a miracle in the history of Hollywood films, and a brand new milestone!"
"I have asked Mr. Zhou Yang's consent to officially announce the full version of "Chainsaw" after the painting of "Chainsaw"......"
"The so-called full version of "Chainsaw" on the Internet is twelve hours, but the real movie is fifteen hours......"
"It's going to be all free! It's free! ”
It's hard to believe.
"The Lamb", which was supposed to start filming last year, still hasn't started filming.
The plot of "The Lamb" does not even see Christian's shadow.
He's busy!
These days, he seems to have become the spokesperson of "Chainsaw" in Europe and the United States, constantly leading the team to travel around Europe and the United States, promoting this artwork that he is most satisfied with.
When he arrived in every country, he was on the throne, with a smile on his face, and he said these words passionately, and he could hear bursts of applause after each speech.
He even signed up for the 79th Academy Awards at the end of February this year, looking forward to this "Saw Horror" being shortlisted for the Oscars.
Despite the fact that he is only the assistant director of the film......
He saw the huge popularity of this movie, and at the same time, he saw the crazy benefits behind these huge popularity!
This kind of income is not limited to movies......
More on something other than the movie.
Strictly speaking, although this "Chainsaw" is distributed by Warner, the production company is his Hollywood company "Sky".
Christian is both a director and a boss......
As the first film under the name of his Hollywood company, his dedication to the movie "Chainsaw" is naturally unimaginable.
In fact, since the filming of the movie, Zhou Yang has begun to become the most marginal character in this "Chainsaw".
Christian took over all the work that the director should do, not only paid out of his own pocket to cooperate with Warner to promote "Saw", but also planned every step of the movie from before and after the release to the release!
The shock of netizens, the explosion of Lao Mei, the madness of Hollywood, and the announcement of the election by black congressman Olson......
Everything seems to be a coincidence, as if they are verifying the old Chinese saying "no coincidence is not a book".
However, how can there be so many stories in this world of ascending to the sky in one step and becoming a god in a war?
Behind every seemingly coincidence, there is actually a high-level behind-the-scenes promoter......
They calculated everything, controlled everything, and with the help of the background of the times, weighed the interests and forces of all parties, and launched a huge gimmick, so that the audience was immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
And Christian, is such an amazing pusher.
"Chainsaw" is a very good movie in the eyes of fans, which makes people think about it.
But in his opinion, it is an opportunity, an opportunity to make "sky" famous in Hollywood!
"The Lamb" is a movie he has been preparing for five years!
But even if "Lamb" is released now, it will not be as terrifying as "Saw", and it is impossible to cause an astonishing income of 600 times!
…………………………
"Dear Mr. Zhou Yang, we have reached a preliminary agreement with the website of Tomato for the online broadcast copyright of the movie "Chainsaw", do you have anything else to add? This time, we split the revenue of the video site with Tomato......"
"No ...... for the time being"
"Oh, then if it's okay, I'll send you the contract by email, you see what the problem is, if it's okay, sign it?"
"Okay...... Mr. Christian. Can you, speak a little more normally? Your voice makes me a little hairy......"
"Dear Mr. Zhou Yang, Warner asked if you can hurry up and write the script of "Saw 2"? Actually, that's what I personally mean, everyone is looking forward to the second part after watching "Saw Horror" ......"
"Mr. Christian, Saw 2 is fine, but can you, speak a little more normally?"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I really want to kiss you now, you know? You are simply my lucky star, and the appearance of you and Saw is like God's gift to me for many years of prayer......"
“……”
Chinese.
Zhou Yang received a call from Christian.
Christie on the phone did not have the seriousness that Zhou Yang had when he first met him, on the contrary, Zhou Yang listened quite disgustingly!
Christian excitedly told Zhou Yang all his plans for the amazing IP of "Chainsaw", and after finishing speaking, he praised Zhou Yang unsatisfactorily.
This made Zhou Yang nauseous enough, and there was a faint feeling of acid reflux in his stomach.
Think about it, a foreign middle-aged uncle said that he wanted to kiss you in this tone......
Who can withstand this?
The two continued to chat, focusing on "Chainsaw 2", Christian revealed between the lines that he wanted to direct "Chainsaw 2", when Zhou Yang asked him what to do with "Lamb" and what to do with those investors, Christian felt that it didn't matter, it was a big deal to return the money to those investors, as for "Lamb", he continued to grind slowly......
When he heard this, Zhou Yang inexplicably had the illusion that "Chainsaw" had led Christian's path astray.
Next, the two talked about some future development issues, and after knowing that Zhou Yang owned an entertainment company, Christian naturally talked more deeply about the future cooperation between the two companies, and even talked about a "strategic cooperation" plan.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I'll be honest with you, Sky Company can't be just a simple small Hollywood film production company, do you understand?"
"Christian, you mean ......"
"Now it's just a production company, but in the next five years, ten years, it's going to be a film distribution company, and the eight major Hollywood studios are very strong, but ...... We'll be like them one day! ”
“……”
On the phone, Christian spoke very seriously, and there was no joke in it.
Zhou Yang was a little frightened by Christian's ambition.
He originally thought that the company "sky" was purely an ordinary company registered in Hollywood by Christian to make movies for himself, but he never imagined that Christian would have such amazing ambitions.
Zhou Yang was silent, he didn't know what to say, he even heard that Christian seemed to have something to say.
After hearing Zhou Yang's silence, Christian on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little embarrassed.
After hearing the news, he imagined that Zhou Yang should be shocked, amazed, and even excited.
But......
What does this silence mean?
"Mr. Zhou Yang, don't you believe me?"
"Mr. Christian, I think what you said is too far away for me......" Zhou Yang was silent for a long time, and then replied.
"It's not far away, how can it be far away, you have amazing talent, whether it's "Mine Bottom" or "Crow", or this "Chainsaw", I see your possibilities......"
"Well, thank you, Mr. Christian." Zhou Yang replied.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, why do I feel that you suddenly have a sense of alienation from me? Are you worried that my Sky company will ignore you now after it grows with Saw Horror? ”
"Well, I'm not worried......"
"No, you're worried, and you're worried, I don't think you're even confident in our cooperation!" Christian continued.
"Mr. Christian, I'm really not worried......" Zhou Yang shook his head violently.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, don't deceive yourself! You can fool others, but you can't fool me, I know that you are a very ambitious Chinese, you seem to be sincere, serious, and serious about everything, and under your eyes, there has always been a restless, unknown heart, if you dig your heart open, it is a beast that can devour people......" Christian's voice on the phone seemed to see through everything.
"I don't, I really don't have ......"
"No, you have, follow your heart, I know you've wanted my sky shares for a long time, you can't fool me! So be it, I'll give you ten percent of the Sky shares...... You originally planned to give me 20% of the box office share of "Chainsaw", and if you take out an additional 10% box office share, it will be regarded as your stake in my Sky company! ”
"I don't want it." Zhou Yang shook his head violently, he felt that Christian was fooling himself into joining the gang.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou Yang, I really didn't misread you, you are really a very greedy person, so let's give you 15%, anyway, you want to give me 20% of the box office, and it's the same if you get another 10%, right? And in the future, you will have a share of all the movies under my sky company, and you will earn a lot! ”
"Christian, I didn't mean that......" Zhou Yang shook his head again, this kind of cheap thing, Zhou Yang felt that he couldn't do it.
"Twenty percent! It can't be more, although Mr. Zhou Yang is very small and inconspicuous now, but in the future, Chinese directors can come to Hollywood to make movies, and they can use Sky's company to produce films, and resources can be shared, and more importantly, when Sky becomes a distribution company in the future, it will be more convenient for Chinese films to come to Hollywood in the future......"
“……”
……………………
"Mr. Christian, I really don't understand, why do you have to let that Huaxia director take a stake in our Sky company? Although he looks talented, he still doesn't have enough qualifications, right? ”
"Elusa, we invest in one person, we can't just look at him alone......"
"Mr. Christian, I still don't understand ......"
"The name of Mr. Zhou Yang's former boss of Huaxing Company is An Xiao, and An Xiao's family background is very mysterious, but as far as I know, she is very likely to be the most talkative figure in the Chinese film industry in the future...... Huaxia is a big market, and no one can give up this big cake......"
"Huh?"
"And "Chainsaw" is a very potential amazing IP, and it can even be developed into games, animations and other works in the future, if Mr. Zhou Yang does not invest in our company, no one knows whether the huge IP of "Chainsaw" will be licensed to other companies in the future, which is a huge loss that we can't afford......"
"......" Elus was in disbelief when she saw Christian smile and say this in the office.
"And more importantly, when filming "Chainsaw", Mr. Zhou Yang once went through another movie with me, the name of that movie was "Spider-Man", although he only talked about it in a few words, but I have a hunch that this is another movie that can be popular, if it is filmed well, it is no less than "Superman", I can't see such a movie leave me...... At the same time, from the occasional chat, I can perceive that this Chinese director has a keen insight into the future, which I have never seen in other people, even like a person from the future, I am keenly aware that I need to cooperate with him, I must invest in him, and while he is still a small person, I will press the future of our company on him......"
“……”
"I saw in him the king of Hollywood horrors, James. Bonthe's Shadow ......"
"What if, wrong?"
"God has always favored me and never let me miss a single time!"
in the office.
Christian's eyes narrowed.
…………………………
Huaxing.
There was a knock on the door in Zhou Yang's office.
After the door opened, Wang Jing silently walked in with the information of Sky Company, including Christian's.
"There is no problem with the information of the sky company, although it has not been established in Hollywood for a long time, but it has always been in a profitable state, it has always been Christian's single shareholding, and there is no problem with Christian's own information, he has become famous in the European international film circle in the nineties, his resume is very innocent, there has been no imprisonment, cheating, etc., in addition, he is not only a very talented director, but also a marketing genius who is very sensitive to the market and human nature, His first film "Ke Ke Xili" was originally a movie that hit the streets, but he made a lot of money by relying on movie merchandise and actor tickets......"
“……”
Zhou Yang flipped through Christian's detailed resume.
After reading it, Zhou Yang nodded.
"Sister Jing, what do you mean, can you buy shares?"
"I need to look at the other party's contract, and if there are no traps in the other party's contract, then I can buy shares......"
"It's a contract."
"Good!"
Wang Jing picked up the contract and looked at it for a long time.
After reading it, she looked at Zhou Yang: "My personal suggestion is that you can buy shares, but I always feel that Christian's contract is too lenient and too simple for us, and it doesn't look like a normal shareholding contract...... I'd better look into it again......"
"Hmm!"
