Chapter 253 Overseas copyright sold, and the box office of the zero point stall broke the record

........

At the dinner, guests gathered.

Fang Ziheng responded and took China Film Han Dong, Chen Yu, Andy, Deng Wendi, Mo Xiangwan, Wang Zhongjun, and Jiang Zhiqiang to a small conference room.

Everyone sat down, Fang Ziheng instructed Mo Xiangwan to take out a legal document and said to Deng Wendi: "Ms. Deng, take a look, this is a new agreement on the overseas distribution of "Looking for the Dragon", and the distribution share is 12%, which is three percentage points lower than last year's "Edge of Tomorrow"!"

"12%, Fang Dao is so calculating!"

Deng Wendi smiled, took the agreement and read it roughly, and then took out a pen and signed his name.

Before returning to China, she was already prepared, and "Edge of Tomorrow" sold 160 million US dollars in the North American market and nearly 100 million US dollars in other overseas regions.

Twentieth Century Fox siphoned off 15 percent of half of the box office revenue, earning nearly $20 million in distribution alone.

Where to find such a good thing!

Fang Ziheng definitely does not want to be wronged, and it is necessary to reduce the distribution share.

12%, which is just stuck at her expected price, she can only accept it.

However, Deng Wendi's purpose for coming here today is not just for the release of "Looking for the Dragon".

The full overseas copyright of the film is also in her pocket for this trip.

"The Four Famous Catches" and "Edge of Tomorrow" made Twentieth Century Fox make a lot of money, and also allowed her to completely gain a foothold in this Hollywood giant company.

For the copyright of "Looking for the Dragon", she is bound to get it!

After signing the distribution agreement, Deng Wendi also took out a document from his bag, pushed it to Fang Ziheng, and said confidently: "Director Fang, look at this offer, I believe you will not refuse."

Oh.

Fang Ziheng's eyes were surprised, he didn't expect the other party to come prepared this time.

Han Dong, Chen Yu, and Wang Zhongjun also looked surprised and a little incredulous.

It stands to reason that Twentieth Century Fox will not make the decision to buy the rights until the weekly box office of "Dragon Quest" comes out in the North American market.

Deng Wendi's move is undoubtedly very confident in "Looking for the Dragon".

Where did her faith come from?

It will never be Fang Ziheng's fame, two movies with a box office of over 100 million in North America, it will not make her make a decision in advance without looking at the weekly box office!

On Fang Ziheng's right, Mo Xiangwan lowered his head and pondered, and muttered a few words in his ear.

"Dong Fang, the results of the pre-sale of "Dragon Quest" in the open sea are very good!"

In a word, the key is clear!

Fang Ziheng secretly said that this is the case, "Looking for the Dragon" will be released in North America and European countries tomorrow morning, and Fox Film Company opened the promotional pre-sale half a month ago, and collected a large number of American knives in advance.

The pre-sale results are satisfactory, and Deng Wendi certainly has the confidence to win the overseas copyright of the film in advance.

Bidding in advance is definitely lower than waiting for the weekly box office to come out.

!

What a shrewd woman!

Fang Ziheng quickly figured out the key, opened the document in front of everyone, swept through the Chinese and English versions of the legal provisions at a glance, and finally looked at the string of data that was difficult to refuse.

$40 million!

Fixed price, full copyright of overseas movie peripherals, home digital cinemas, and DVDs!

10 million less than "Edge of Tomorrow".

Deng Wendi gambled again, betting that the copyright value of "Looking for the Dragon" was not weaker than "Edge of Tomorrow", and he ate 10 million US dollars by purchasing it in advance.

If Fang Ziheng is unwilling, she will not be unkind, and she can wait for the overseas weekly box office to come out and re-quote.

The box office was a big hit, she increased the price to 50 million, the box office hit the street, she couldn't help but buy it, Fang Ziheng lost 40 million US dollars in vain!

"The ancients have landed in peace, Ms. Deng, you have won!"

The corners of Fang Ziheng's mouth rose, gave Deng Wendi a thumbs up, and pushed the contract to Andy, who had been silent.

Andy's expression was surging and careful

Check the authenticity of the contract, the contract of 40 million US dollars, don't dare to be sloppy.

Finally, Fang Ziheng also signed his name on the second document.

The two sides reached a new cooperation, Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, with a 12% distribution share, won the overseas distribution rights of "Looking for the Dragon", and at the same time purchased the overseas full rights of the film for 40 million US dollars.

Han Dong, Chen Yu, and Wang Zhongjun smiled very happily, China Film and Huayi were at a premium when they invested, and they inherently enjoyed a share of the global film market.

Although they don't have their share of the $40 million dollar royalty, they can earn millions more dollars with just 3% less distribution share.

Wang Zhongjun is both happy and envious, happy that Huayi is about to participate in the production of a blockbuster movie, and the company's stock price will usher in another surge.

The object of envy is naturally Hengyu Media.

Because of Fang Ziheng's existence, the cost of a movie was recovered as soon as it premiered, and there was no need to worry about the risk at all.

This is still a high-risk film industry, it's just picking up money!

No!

Faster than picking up money!

.......

After the contract was signed, Deng Wendi raised an elegant smile and said, "Dong Fang, I heard that you are going to make a costume blockbuster called "The Great Wall" next year?"

Nima!

This is a sperm!

Fang Ziheng is drunk, Deng Wendi's appetite is really big mouthful!

"Yes, it will be on in the next year!"

"However, this movie Hengyu Media only participates in the investment, the main prosecution is Wanda Film and Television, if Ms. Deng is interested, she can talk to Song Ge, the person in charge of Wanda Film and Television, he is outside."

"I will."

Deng Wendi smiled, took out a lady's cigarette and lit it.

After sitting for a few minutes, she and Jiang Zhiqiang got up and left, and Andy and Mo Xiangwan sent the two out.

As soon as a few people left, Wang Zhongjun opened the conversation and said with admiration: "This tiger girl, she is so bold, she dares to offer 40 million US dollars in copyright fees before the movie is released!"

"Dong Wang, your news is lagging behind, the pre-sale results of "Looking for the Dragon" overseas are very good, Ms. Deng must have seen more profit margins, so she will buy the copyright in advance!"

Chen Yu shook his head with a smile, and said what Mo Xiangwan meant to Fang Ziheng just now.

Fang Ziheng scattered a circle of cigarettes, and chuckled: "This thing is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer, from my point of view, as long as the price is not too outrageous, of course, it is the priority to get the money back, the production cost of "Looking for the Dragon" is 300 million, counting the publicity and distribution costs of at least 360 million soft girl coins, and the mainland box office must be at least 1 billion to make money!"

"Haha, Director Fang is right!"

He didn't speak, and Han Dong, who was watching it, spoke up, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He saw Fang Ziheng's operation, sought victory in stability, and walked quite steadily, without making a mistake.

"Looking for the Dragon" is a fantasy adventure, a large-scale production with a mysterious color, good is good, it is a big hit all over the world, everyone who belongs to it laughs haha, and there is money to be made.

Once the follow-up box office is not strong and the influence is insufficient, the film copyright fee will definitely be greatly discounted.

The copyright price of 40 million US dollars is not low, Uncle Long and Brother Jie's "King of Kung Fu" did not sell at this price!

In the last life, it was also this year's Lunar New Year, and Zhang Weiping, the boss of the new picture, made a commotion operation.

This guy relied on Lao Mouzi's overseas box office without missing out, kicked the matchmaker Jiang Zhiqiang away, and signed a separate distribution contract with a film company in England, resulting in the defeat of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" in Maicheng.

Gee..

The film was released at Hollywood, and instead of cooperating with local companies, they found European film companies.

I don't know who gave Zhang Weiping confidence, even if Haolaiwu Films entered China, he knew that he would worship the dock of China Film and give up the high distribution profits to Huaguo.

He Zhang Weiping, how old is he!

It can only be said that the new picture of the previous life is not unjust!

After a while, Andy and Mo Xiang

came back late, along with Song Song, the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Yindu Organization.

The Song Dynasty is a big acquaintance with everyone, and as soon as he came in, he got straight to the point, and said with a kind face: "Dong Fang, the issuance share is falling by 2 points, and Hong Kong Island Yindu Institution won the distribution of "Dragon Quest" in Asia with an 8% issuance share, what do you think?"

"Song Dong has spoken, if you can't do it, you have to do it!"

Fang Ziheng stroked his palms and smiled, and responded happily.

As for the surrounding copyrights in Asia, the two tacitly did not discuss it, the Song Dynasty was not Deng Wendi, and would never buy the copyright in advance.

.......

At 11 p.m., the dinner ended.

Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian, Concubine Lin, Zeng Li, Song Yi, Andy, Da Tiantian and a group of seven people returned to the duplex building.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Qianqian muttered.

"Come on, let's fight to the end tonight, this girl has recently achieved great achievements, I must kill you without leaving a piece of armor!"

"Hey, Sissi, have you forgotten the tuition fees you taught before?"

Concubine Lin changed into warm slippers, untied her black and beautiful hair and shook it, looking like a female gambler.

Andy pushed Tian Tian and said with a smile: "I'm partnering with Tian Tian tonight, I can't be too late, I have to go to the company tomorrow!"

"Then I'm partnering with Tiezi, I've been a little tired lately, and I want to go to bed early!"

Zeng Li took off his windbreaker, smiled *** and hugged Song Yi's shoulder, and also found a little friend.

Suddenly, among the six beauties, only Liu Qianqian and Concubine Lin fought alone.

Liu Qianqian's eyes rolled, her jade fingers went up to the top floor, and she said to Concubine Lin bewildermently: "Sister Concubine, why don't we also work together and pull Ziheng over to cushion his back, and everyone will join forces to slaughter him first tonight!"

The words of the young lady made the beauties' eyes shine.

Song Yi immediately came up with an idea, showing a little fox-like smile: "Brother Ziheng will watch the zero box office first, and he will definitely be in a good mood after the box office comes out, and when we make an invitation, he will be embarrassed to refuse."

Scare..!

Everyone's eyes flashed, looking at Song Yi strangely, and Qi Qi gave her a thumbs up.

That's a great idea!

Fang Ziheng walked into the bathroom, not knowing that he was being remembered by the beauties.

A group of goblins downstairs were sharpening their knives, wondering how to bleed him.

After taking a hot bath, the time came to the early hours of the morning.

There was the sound of mahjong machines and the laughter of beauties in the living room, and Fang Ziheng went downstairs to be a dog-headed military advisor for a while.

This one pointed out twice, and the other one cooed twice, and was finally driven out by the beauties.

Of course, Fang Ziheng was unwilling, he was questioned by a beautiful woman, and he was very popular as a man.

Immediately, he put down his cruel words, "I will come and torture you later."

When he went upstairs, the six girls laughed, and the first step of digging the pit was surprisingly smooth.

........

In the study.

Fang Ziheng held a cup of hot tea, leaned back on the boss's chair, and leisurely browsed the reports of major media on "Looking for the Dragon".

Two hours after the premiere, the media and film critics took the money to do things, and the news about the movie came out.

"The World Premiere of "Dragon Quest"! The CPPCC auditorium was packed!"

"China's first fantasy adventure 3D blockbuster, directed by the famous director Fang Ziheng, premiered tonight at the Imperial Capital CPPCC Auditorium.

"The high-profile fantasy blockbuster "Looking for the Dragon" landed in the Chinese New Year stalls and premiered in the imperial capital.

The film and television company boss, film and television director, film producer, and producer all attended the scene and watched this wonderful super blockbuster with thousands of fans!"

"Dragon Quest! The real underground world, the vast and mysterious submarine cave, the half-immortal and half-immortal blessed land, Fang Ziheng is still the admirable director, from

Not to disappoint the fans who like him, the editor was fortunate to attend tonight's premiere.

It's so real, it's so shocking!

The real 3D special effects scenes, the wonderful and mysterious plot, and the excellent acting skills of the actors, until the end of the movie screening, the editor, like all the audience, was shocked and full of joy, and until this time I was still immersed in the movie and couldn't extricate myself!"

The flowery articles were uploaded to the Internet, and they did not need the guidance of Hengyu Media, and they were on the hot search for the first time.

Under the article, there are also fans who have watched the screening and the premiere.

"Produced by Fang Ziheng, there must be a number of high-quality products, this adaptation of "Looking for the Dragon" is really good-looking, and it is not inferior to the original plot at all!"

"Haha, I heard that Tianxia Ba Sing has joined Hengyu Media, good guy, now he and Fang Ziheng have joined forces, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has a total of eight sections, and we book fans will be blessed in the future!"

"The number of roads adhered to in the plot is silky and smooth, and you can score 95 points, although the 3D real shooting does not achieve the effect of "Avatar", but there are also 90% of "Avatar", actors Liu Ye, Huang Bo, and my favorite young lady, I give Fang Ziheng 95 points in this wave of "Looking for the Dragon"!"

"Little sister, tsk, brother, you are so nice to call me!"

"To be honest, Fang Ziheng is really good to Liu Qianqian, big productions one after another, which girl is favored by this kind of bombardment, anyway, I can't stand it, I will definitely like Shang Ziheng."

"Alas, this is also where I feel sad, Fang Ziheng, this dog thing, in order to pick up girls, he can really smack resources, but it's a pity that my fairy sister!"

"This guy said that the box office on the first day exceeded 100 million, I think he is a little floating, 80 million is possible!"

"Upstairs, do you think 80 million is low?"

"Whether it's 80 million or 100 million, "Looking for the Dragon" is a good movie, and the total box office will definitely not be low!"

"Ma Dan, I have already sent Fang Ziheng a screening box office, do you still want to send it once?"

"The girlfriend I just talked about likes Fang Ziheng, and I have already bought two middle seats in the AIM cinema hall, and I hope to be able to go to the base tomorrow!"

"Dude, you can be bold and book a room in advance!"

Fang Ziheng drank wolfberry tea, browsed a lot of news and comments, and the time soon came to half past 12.

Bite..

The mobile phone text message rings,

The China Film Distribution Department sent a data table with a rough count of the box office of the zero point field.

At present, in the film market of China, cinemas are not interconnected with each other, there is no special APP to connect, and the box office cannot be counted in real time.

Only the official institutions under China Film can see the approximate data in the backstage of each theater.

The number of cinemas in China is as many as 40, and thousands of cinemas are counted together, and it is difficult to get accurate numbers in a short time.

The zero-point box office reported was somewhat different.

Fang Ziheng swiped his mobile phone, swept the numbers reported by the major theaters online from top to bottom, and finally saw the total zero box office.

11.2 million!

On December 29th, the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" exceeded 10 million, rushing to the height of 12.2 million in one fell swoop!

It's a record breaker again!

Call...

Fang Ziheng exhaled softly.

Leaning back in his chair, his eyes were dim, and he secretly gave himself a vaccination.

Can't float, can't float.

His film road continues, and the road behind is still far away, and it must not be floated.

Now he has a really terrifying box office appeal!

The more the audience watches it, the more they watch it, the more satisfied they are, as long as they maintain the standard of the movie they deserve, fans who like him will never let him down.

12.2 million!

Such a height is beyond the reach of other movies.

He bragged to the media on the red carpet, breaking the record of "Transformers 3" at the box office on the first day, and now it seems that there is a lot of hope.

Tomorrow during the day, at least 80 million must be bombarded

box office!

At this moment, Fang Ziheng was inexplicably excited.

Kill "Transformers 3" and regain the box office record of Chinese-language films.

Even if it's just a first-day box office record!
