There are three forms of domestic films: imported films, joint venture films, and domestic films.

Each form of film has a different box office split.

Now, "Covering the Sky" is going to be released abroad, which is considered an imported film for foreign countries, and the box office share given to the producer is much lower, which is also normal.

However, many countries are more strict about the introduction of films outside their own countries.

Huayi Company said that it has global distribution channels, but it remains to be studied in which countries it can be released.

It just so happened that Wang Lei was here now, and Zhang Yang wanted to ask clearly.

"Mr. Wang, if a contract is signed, in which countries will "Covering the Sky" be released?"

What he wanted to ask most was actually Europe and some powerful countries such as beautiful countries, bears, and cherry blossoms.

The majority of the global movie box office also comes from these countries.

Like many countries over there, they can't eat enough, so how much box office can they have?

"We have our own distribution channels in about 40 countries around the world, but to be honest, many Western countries are more xenophobic.

If you and I really sign a contract, I won't hide it from you, and I can only negotiate 2,000 theaters at most,"

Wang Lei pondered for a while, and said very sincerely: "And some theaters may not have such a good time slot, unless they themselves don't have any good movies at the time, so I can still operate it." ”

He looked directly into Zhang Yang's eyes and continued: "Of course, if Director Zhang is willing to give an extra part of the box office profits to the theater, this number can be raised a little higher, but it can only reach 2,500 hospitals at most."

And this is already all the power of Huayi, and it is even more difficult to increase it. ”

2500？

After listening to Wang Lei's words, Zhang Yang was a little disappointed.

That's not a lot.

In the past few years, the number of movie theaters in Dragon Country has reached nearly 10,000, and in recent years, the film industry has become more and more popular, and the number of theaters has also grown rapidly.

In such a big foreign market, dozens or hundreds of countries, the number of theaters that Huayi can talk about is less than the number of theaters in Longguo. Fifth.

It's a bit less!

"2,500 theaters, can't there be more?"

Zhang Yang asked a little reluctantly.

Wang Lei smiled bitterly, shook his head, and was helpless: "Huayi is a dragon company after all, rooted in China, not abroad." The cinemas of these Western countries are themselves more xenophobic, and their ZF also has regulations on the number of imported films per year, the time slot, and so on.

In order to protect the development of the country's film industry, unless "Covering the Sky" can find a local film distribution company, or a distribution company in a beautiful country, the number of 2500 is the cap. ”

Zhang Yang, of course, understands his difficulties.

However, when he signed a contract with Watermelon Video, what he was interested in at that time was that he could connect with foreign film distribution companies with his connections in Dousheng.

In this way, once he has any movies that need to be released abroad, it will be much more convenient.

As a result, I didn't expect Guan Mingyuan to find Huayi.

Although there are also foreign channels, the number is too small in comparison.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

He looked at Guan Mingyuan and asked, "Mr. Guan, you and I know how important the box office of "Covering the Sky" is. I wonder if I can contact a foreign film distribution company? ”

In order to avoid Wang Lei being unhappy, he explained one more sentence.

"Mr. Wang, I'm not saying that Huayi is bad, it's just that this movie is very important to me, the number of 2,500 theaters released abroad is a bit small, I ask more, I hope you don't mind."

Wang Lei didn't see any dissatisfaction, and said very frankly: "It's okay, just ask." ”

Seeing that he didn't care.

Guan Mingyuan spoke at this time.

"I also attach great importance to the box office of "Covering the Sky". It's just that the shaking sound is abroad, and there is really no relationship channel. The first two years may have been a little better, but with the beautiful country turmoil, these relationships have all been severed. ”

He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "There is nothing you can do!" ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yang remembered.

What happened in the beautiful country was very loud, and it was also on the front page of many news media websites at that time.

It even attracted the attention of the state's high-level officials, and at the same time caused dissatisfaction among many netizens.

The matter is so big that it is completely understandable that the shaking sound has been cut off from foreign channels.

Guan Mingyuan continued: "However, I also know what you said, but I don't think I need to worry too much.

In recent years, with the rise of our dragon country, the competition with those Western countries has become more and more intense, and various countries are constantly competing in the fields of culture, economy, ZZ, JS, etc.

As a leading Internet company in China, the group behind Sangua is facing no less pressure than us if they want to distribute the films they invest in abroad.

And the content of their movies themselves is more related to the Dragon Kingdom, even if they are released abroad, the box office is not high. ”

Guan Mingyuan's explanation made Zhang Yang feel very reasonable after listening to it.

And how much is the box office of "Covering the Sky", really speaking, Guan Mingyuan should pay more attention to it than him.

Compared with the box office, he pays more attention to how many people can see the movie and how much experience points he can get.

Since Guan Mingyuan felt that this was feasible, he didn't say more.

"Okay, since Mr. Guan thinks it's okay to do this, I won't say more, then arrange it like this, trouble Mr. Wang."

"As long as Mr. Wang investigates the situation abroad, you and I will sign a formal contract at that time."

"What do you think?"

Zhang Yang looked at Wang Lei.

Seeing that the two had talked, Wang Lei didn't drag his feet at all, and said directly: "In this case, I will immediately call back to the company to arrange the inspection of foreign theaters." ”

"The results will be available in a week at most, and then you and I will sign the contract."

"Okay."

......

......

Important things are done.

Next, Zhang Yang took the two of them to visit Xuanyu.

Then it was noon.

Zhang Yang took the senior management of Xuanyu as a companion, everyone got together for a meal, and the two left Haihua separately in the afternoon to prepare for the movie hairstyle, without any delay at all.

Inside the airport.

After Zhang Yang just put the two on the plane, he got in the car and rushed to the company, and he still had a lot of work.

The special effects of "Covering the Sky" are reaching a critical stage, and many places need him to check them.

However, these companies are all abroad, so they all use video to guide technicians.

Originally, his most important job today was to communicate with the technical staff, if it weren't for the arrival of Guan Mingyuan and Wang Lei, he wouldn't have time to pay attention to other things.

Go back to the car.

The driver was driving in front, and Wang Fei was sitting in the back waiting for him.

Both of them had just been at the dinner table, so they simply came together to send someone on the plane.

"Got on the plane?"

Wang Fei asked.

He smelled of alcohol, but he was still conscious.

"Well, let's go."

Both of them had just drunk a lot.

The car was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Zhang Yang frowned slightly, nodded, and opened the window.

Wang Fei also pressed the car window, greedily breathed a few breaths of the air outside the car, blowing the wind, and the smell of alcohol in the car dissipated a lot.

"What is the contract given by Huayi? Guan Mingyuan came forward in person, it should be a lot of discounts, right? ”
