"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

With the sound of worship like a tsunami of mountains, the big screen flashed and came to the Tangcheng Palace.

Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, and the era name was Yongwei.

Xue Rengui was ordered to appoint the governor of Mobei and lead the army to sit in Tianque City to deter the heroes of the Western Regions and Mobei.

The camera came to the sky above the army, waving flags, magnificent, and the 100,000 Tang Iron Army was murderous, like a mighty torrent.

An unprecedented sense of excitement filled everyone's visual senses.

Three minutes.

The layout of the first three minutes of the movie can be described as vigorous, and the visual picture is strong to the extreme.

is not weaker than those super blockbusters that are preemptive and quote the beginning of the exciting narrative.

Under the billowing red dust smoke.

The camera is pulled up, and the 100,000 army is like a long dragon in red and black, galloping and soaring between the heavens and the earth.

Whining..

The bugle sounded.

As soon as the picture was rolled, there was a sky map of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The panorama is blessed by special effects, using a one-to-one miniature of Chang'an City, the imperial capital of the original Tang Dynasty, and using special effects modeling to enlarge the scale and present the original appearance.

The camera pulls to a beacon platform in the center of the imperial capital, with red dust billowing below, dense crowds, and shouting one after another.

Rumble..

The pillar of light of the beacon tower flashed, and a sky-high light shone out.

With the illuminated light, the opening parchment blueprint reappeared.

The light rose from the imperial capital, across the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, first to Tianque City, lit the beacon fire and then came to the Anxi Protectorate, and finally fell to the westernmost Anxizhou Prefecture.

Next door to the state of rest, and beyond that is the Persian Great Food Country!

The camera directly enters the Great Food Country, appearing in a short and rubbed ancient city.

A squad of cavalry appeared.

A young white man led a dozen escorts out of the city on horseback, and happily prepared to go out of the city to hunt.

At this point, the plot of the movie slowly unfolds.

The young white man soon encountered a small group of strange beasts, and more than twenty people were bitten by the strange beasts in less than two clicks.

The way back to the city was blocked, and he could only ride a frightened horse and flee east with his wounded body.

The strange beast chased all the way, and the white man ran all the way.

Eventually, the whites passed through Anxizhou and became safe as the merchants on the Silk Road fled to Tianque City.

Along the way, the white man is like a disaster star, and strange beasts chase him wherever he goes.

The caravans on the original route and the tribute teams of the countries of the Western Regions were considered to have fallen into blood mold, and they were beaten by the army of alien beasts and suffered heavy casualties.

Whining..

The bugle sounded again.

The army of the Celestial Empire arrived, and outside the city of Tianque, the leader of the alien beast stopped the crazy beast dynasty and retreated unwillingly.

........

Two hours later, the movie was finished.

In the screening room, everyone sat still, staring at the producer's subtitles on the big screen in the blink of an eye, deep in thought, reminiscence, and measurement.

The movie is exciting enough, the plot is full, the scenes are real and vast, and the war shot in 3D is even more exciting.

Especially in several big battles, the army attacked, struck thousands of miles, and slashed strange beasts like chickens, and the shocking pictures made their scalps numb.

Cool!

Han Dong breathed a sigh of relief, showed admiration, stood up and took the lead in applauding.

Bang bang..

Bang bang..

Rapid and fierce applause rang out.

More than 30 people applauded and smiled excitedly.

"Fang Dong, cow!"

"Haha, it's so burning, I thought it was a historical narrative film, but I didn't expect it to be a battle movie to exterminate alien beasts!"

"Yes, those strange beasts are too real, they have god forms, and their mouths are exactly the same as the wild wolves and tigers in reality."

"Okay, good, I didn't expect that our domestic special effects level can reach this point, and it is not inferior to Haolaiwu at all!"

"Those Tang Dynasty troops should be troops participating in the exercise, the order is forbidden, murderous, wearing armor is completely the revival of ancient elite soldiers, the picture is too shocking."

There is no need for Chen Yu and Song Gedangtuo, and several people in charge of the trial film theater discussed and boasted on their own.

Fang Ziheng showed a pleased smile and said to Han Dong, Wang Jianlin, and Deng Wendi: "How do you feel, the movie didn't disappoint you, right?" ”

"Not only was it not disappointing, it was a big surprise!"

Wang Jianlin was full of joy, gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Fang Dong, it is the most correct decision for Wanda Film and Television to cooperate with you in "The Great Wall"! ”

"Yes, this time China Film has picked up another good project, and I thank Fang Dong and Wang Dong for their sharing."

Han Dongle let out a loud voice, smiled, and took the initiative to take out a cigarette and distribute it to everyone.

Compared with Wang Jianlin, he is happier that Chinese movies can produce big-budget costume movies like "The Great Wall".

Costumes, war.

It means that "The Great Wall" can be exported overseas, allowing global audiences to see the style of China.

For Han Dong, he can't wait to export several films a year.

It's a pity that Fang Ziheng has only one, that is, he is tired to death, and he will shoot one a year at most, and it depends on whether he is willing or not.

With that in mind.

Han Dong remembered the new costume project of Hengyu mentioned earlier, and he had to find a time to chat with Fang Ziheng and settle the project as soon as possible.

There is also Lao Mouzi, two movies are big hits, and the momentum is like a rainbow, I don't know if he still has the idea of making another costume blockbuster.

His mind wandered, he lit a cigarette and took a puff, then looked at Deng Wendi with a smile on his face: "Ms. Deng, what do you think of "The Great Wall"?" ”

"Very good, it's hard for audiences in other places to say, the North American market will definitely eat Chinese films with this theme!"

Deng Wendi blurted out and said with great certainty.

She is not worried about revealing her love for movies, which causes Wanda and Hengyu to increase their offers.

As long as "The Great Wall" is powerful, why not make less.

She has other ways to recover more benefits from other sources.

Han Dong's eyes lit up with a smile, and he stretched out his hand to lead: "Ms. Deng, please, let's go to the lounge to talk about distribution and copyright?" ”

"OK, that's exactly what I mean!"

Immediately, several people beckoned to Fang Ziheng and took the lead out of the screening hall.

Fang Ziheng asked them to go over first, and he and Song Ge also had to communicate with a group of theater directors to discuss the scheduling of "The Great Wall".

is still the same sentence, with the increase of domestic movie screens, even if Wanda Cinema Line tops the first place in the country, in the face of the production cost of "The Great Wall" of up to 150 million US dollars, it must be cautious and cautious.

After the movie is released, in addition to publicity, film scheduling is the main thing to publicize.

Wanda Cinemas alone can't meet the volume of "The Great Wall", so they have to seek the support of other cinemas.

"Dong Fang, Xingmei can give 70% of the film schedule, only 10% less than Wanda, it's interesting enough."

"Fang Dong, Mr. Song, don't worry, Hengdian Film and Television will not be less than 65% of the film schedule."

"The movie is too good to watch and tired, and our Dadi Cinema Line will definitely support it, and we can give 60% of the film schedule."

"Thank you all for your support, thank you!"

Hearing everyone's support, Fang Ziheng and Song Ge thanked them again and again with satisfaction.

Except for the joint cinema chain under Magic Shadow, which is not against China Film, which only gives 50% of the film schedule, the other fourteen theater chains have given the lowest 58% of the film schedule.

On the whole, on the first day of the release of "The Great Wall", at least 65% to 69% of the films were scheduled.

Enough is enough!

Fang Ziheng felt a little relieved, and personally sent the group downstairs with Song Ge.

Back in the elevator.

Song Ge was still very excited, Baba was smoking a cigarette, and he looked impatient.

"Fang Dong, in your opinion, how much is the total global box office of "The Great Wall"?"

"3 billion soft girl coins, it should be okay, right?"

"It's not certain, it's going to be more, it's going to be in the streets."

Fang Ziheng calmed down and didn't pick up the other party's stubble.

Which part of "The Great Wall" will eventually go, to be honest, he really has no bottom, and it is difficult to make predictions.

It's good to say that after the box office comes out on the first day, you can make a basic judgment on the total box office.

It is difficult abroad, at least the box office must come out in the first week, and through the publicity lineup of 21st Century Fox, the final box office can be slightly speculated.

Besides!

Song Ge, this guy, will secretly ask him to talk at a glance, and when he goes back, he will shoot Wang Jianlin's ass.

He's not going to be fooled!

Even if he wants to brag, he has to wait until the premiere of "The Great Wall" to brag to the media and the audience, and that day is his moment of pretending.

........

Medium Shadow.

In a luxurious lounge, the atmosphere is smoky and solid.

Fang Ziheng, Han Dong, Wang Jianlin, Deng Wendi and her assistants, Song Dynasty, Chen Yu, Song Ge, Vice President of Legendary Pictures.

A total of seven men and two women, nine of them sat in a half-circle on black leather sofas, engaged in heated negotiations.

The subject of the negotiation.

Naturally, it is the distribution ratio and overseas full copyright!

"The Great Wall" has a total of five investors, Wanda Film and Television, Hengyu Media, China Film Group, 21st Century Fox, and Legendary Pictures.

Among the five companies, Wanda Film and Television is the main control and the largest investment, accounting for 40% of the film with 90 million US dollars.

China Film, 21st Century Fox, and Legendary Pictures each invested 20 million US dollars, with a premium of 5 million US dollars each, and obtained a 10% share.

Hengyu Media Group didn't pay a penny, and enjoyed a 30% share as the director and screenwriter of the film producer and Fang Ziheng.

Among them, Hengyu Media accounts for 10%, and Fang Ziheng personally accounts for 20%!

In other words, "The Great Wall" is invested by five companies on the surface, but in fact, only four companies paid for it.

There are six parties who share the benefits, and Fang Ziheng alone has to be counted as one party's income.

China Film, 21st Century Fox, and Legendary Pictures are willing to pay a premium, looking at Fang Ziheng's name.

Wanda Pictures alone, that is, breaking the sky, the three will not pay at a premium.

The problem now is that Wanda and 21st Century Fox want to control the distribution of the film.

During the global release of "The Great Wall", it occupied a dominant position in order to seek more benefits.

In this regard, Wanda is the most intense and does not let go at all.

"Ms. Deng."

"In order to shoot "The Great Wall", Wanda Pictures was busy, it took more than half a year just to prepare the set, and the real money took out 90 million US dollars, and now you tell me that Wanda can't become the main control distributor of the movie, are you telling a joke?"

Song Ge's face was red, his words were fierce, and he stared at Deng Wendi and her white female assistant with bad ideas.

Just now, it was this white female assistant who proposed that the global distribution should be dominated by 21st Century Fox, with a distribution ratio of 20%.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jianlin and Song Ge were instantly annoyed.

Damn.

A foreign old is a foreign old, and when he sees fat, he is very red-eyed.

"No, Mr. Song, it's not a joke!"

The white woman shook her head lightly and said righteously: "Before coming, we did a detailed investigation, and Wanda currently does not have the ability to release an A-level production, only our 21st Century Fox Film Company can unimpeded the promotion of "The Great Wall" to the global film market!" ”

The meaning of her words is very clear, you Wanda can't do it.

If you want "The Wall" to be a big hit, you have to rely on them 21st Century Fox.

Hearing this, Song Ge laughed angrily, patted the coffee table angrily and scolded: "That's not good, Wanda must have the right to co-publish!" ”

"If you insist, Wanda has the right to change investors, isn't it 20 million US dollars, and Wanda Pictures can send the money to the account of the 21st Century Company tomorrow.

I still don't believe it, if there is no Zhang Butcher, I will eat pig hair! ”

The angry words resounded in the conference room, which showed how angry Song Ge was in his heart.

As the person in charge of Wanda Pictures, he knows very well that he must not admit it at this time, and these words can only be said by him.

Otherwise, he would have to report his resignation like Wang Jianlin when he went back.

As Song Ge spoke, the white woman seemed to be stunned, frowning and not choking.

She didn't say anything, and others wouldn't be in a hurry to make a statement.

The atmosphere of the conference room was just solidified.

Fang Ziheng, Han Dong, Wang Jianlin, and Deng Wendi smiled, as if they hadn't seen the picture of Song Ge arguing with a white woman just now.

At this time.

Chen Yu's eyes flashed, and he wanted to speak to ease the atmosphere, and by the way, he helped Wanda say some good things and express his position on behalf of China Film.

Fang Ziheng discovered Chen Yu's intentions, and with a glance, he stopped the other party alive.

At this time, there is no need to say more.

It is impossible for the two sides to really talk about it!

If Fang Ziheng guessed correctly, Deng Wendi is just taking the opportunity to be reserved, paving the way for the next joint distribution ratio and copyright fee of "The Great Wall".

Whoever knows that Wang Jianlin is present in person, he will never give up the distribution right of "The Great Wall".

Moreover, once the overseas distribution rights of "The Great Wall" fall into the hands of 21st Century Fox, Wanda is angry and is likely to take back the distribution rights in the mainland market.

Source change app】

In this way, Hengyu and Zhongying will definitely not agree.

"The Great Wall" is obviously a movie with the potential to be a big hit, and the box office volume in the mainland is at least 1 billion.

Hengyu, China Film, and Wanda set the distribution ratio as early as the beginning of the project, and the three jointly issued it, with a 10% distribution fee.

According to expectations, there must be at least 100 million issuance profits, and Hengyu and China Film will make a profit of at least 30 million soft sister coins.

Domino effect!

Whether Wanda faces 21st Century Fox, or Hengyu and China Film face Wanda, none of the three will give up the distribution rights of "The Great Wall".

Really.

After only being silent for a while, Deng Wendi took the initiative to break the deadlock, pursed his lips and smiled: "Han Dong, Wang Dong, Fang Dong, my subordinates don't understand the rules of the country, so let you see the joke." ”

"In this way, the decision on overseas joint issuance remains unchanged, and the issuance fee is also reduced to 18%, what do you think?"

Deng Wendi's expression was sincere, and his tone of voice was casual and tepid, but the meaning of his words made people's faces twitch.

When they first cooperated, she personally said that as long as the film is powerful and has the potential to be a big hit, 21st Century Fox Film Company only needs 15% of the co-distribution fee.

Now it's a good thing, she made a backhand elbow and took advantage of her subordinates' nonsense to raise the issuance fee by 3%.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Wang Jianlin's face, and he stared at the other party and said in a deep voice: "I remember, the previous verbal agreement was 15%, could it be that Ms. Deng wants to go back?" ”

As soon as he said this, Song Gemeng nodded and raised his head: "Ms. Deng, Wanda has already shown great sincerity, you cross the river and demolish the bridge like this, try to ask who else will dare to cooperate with Fox in the future." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Ziheng, who was silent.

Damn it!

See what I'm doing?

Lao Tzu can't get the overseas distribution rights!

Fang Ziheng scolded secretly, and had to speak: "Ms. Deng, I think so, the distribution ratio is calculated according to the box office, if the total box office in North America does not exceed 100 million US dollars, the 18% you said shall prevail."

If the total box office exceeds 100 million US dollars, it will be calculated at 15%, what do you think? ”

"200 million!"

Deng Wendi's eyes were bright, and he raised two fingers to bargain.

"120 million!"

"180 million!"

"130 million!"

"170 million!"

After several quotations, the final box office of 150 million US dollars shall prevail.

The North American box office exceeded 150 million US dollars, and Wanda and 21st Century Fox jointly enjoyed a 15% joint distribution ratio.

If it is less than 150 million US dollars, the issuance ratio will be increased by 3 percentage points to 18%.

The three points may not seem like much, but they represent the distribution rules of the industry and illustrate the rights and interests enjoyed by blockbuster movies.

Furthermore, it symbolizes the doxxing offer of Wanda Pictures going abroad, and it will also have an extra bargaining chip to cooperate with Hollywood giants in the future.

You must know that Hollywood giants help the general film distribution, starting at least 15%, and some even soaring to 20%.

Speaking of which, Wanda suffered a little loss this time.

If it is the main control of Hengyu Media, Deng Wendi will never be so careful, and the distribution ratio can be at least 12%.

Fang Ziheng's last "Looking for the Dragon", because 21st Century Fox pre-sold in advance, the results were very good.

Deng Wendi took the initiative to reduce the distribution ratio to 12%, although there were follow-up moves to lower the price of the film's overseas full copyright, but she looked more at Fang Ziheng himself and was sure that "Looking for the Dragon" would be a big hit.

And today is just the first viewing party of "The Great Wall", Deng Wendi has not returned, and the pre-sale of the North American market has not yet been carried out.

In this way, Fang Ziheng intervened and decided the distribution ratio of the movie.

The vice president of Legendary Pictures on the side nodded vigorously and did not express any opinions.

This guy has long been bought by Wanda, and he is willing to be a pawn of Wanda Film and Television to become the owner of Legendary Pictures.

Subsequently, Deng Wendi quoted the overseas full copyright price of "The Great Wall".

$30 million!

Nothing more, nothing less!

Fang Ziheng didn't open his mouth again, and let Song Ge pull with the two women, anyway, Hengyu couldn't get a dime of the copyright fee for "The Great Wall".

Even, I had to pay Wanda Film and Television a sum of money to buy the movie to Tudou Video as a film library.

Damn it!

It's still cool to be the main controller!

In addition to the box office share, other profits are Hengyu's own, and others only have a share of the red.

In the end, Wendi Deng won the overseas copyright of "The Great Wall" for 38 million US dollars.

This price is only 2 million US dollars lower than "Dragon Quest".

Whether it is Song Ge or Wang Jianlin, they are all satisfied with this price.

Before the movie was released, it recovered nearly 4,000 US dollars.

This is a deal!

........

At noon, everyone used to have a light meal in the China Film Canteen.

Not to mention, the small canteen used by the high-level of China Film to entertain guests tastes very good, and the chef's skills are no worse than those of star-rated hotels.

Fang Ziheng wanted to invite the two of them to Hengyu Media to improve the food of employees.

However, the big canteen of Baoli Group is also good, Fang Ziheng has eaten a few times, and he has also asked the employees, but he has not heard any remarks about not eating well, not enough to eat, and expensive prices.

Meal.

Everyone gathered and left, Wang Jianlin shook hands with Fang Ziheng before leaving, and said that there would be more cooperation in the future.

Deng Wendi was also very happy and was picked up by Li Lianhua personally.

She gained a lot this time, and before getting in the car, she told Fang Ziheng that she was going to travel in China for two days to relax and relax.

Chen Yu and Song Ge boarded Fang Ziheng's Maybach, and Song Ge said that it was rare for the three of them to get together and find a place to have a good time.

In the car.

Song Ge sat in the co-pilot, and while giving Fang Zhongxin directions, he smiled and said, "Fang Dong, Mr. Chen, a new high-end entertainment venue has opened nearby, let's take a look?" ”

"Entertainment venues? Old Song, Brother Yu is a public official, don't make trouble! The corners of Fang Ziheng's mouth rose and helped Chen Yu nod.

He knew that Song Ge wanted to improve the relationship between them, and he was willing to give each other a face.

But play is play, and you must not go overboard.

Song Ge understood and explained: "Please rest assured, it is a newly opened leisure club nearby, and we used to take a bath to relieve fatigue, which is a serious project." ”

"Oh, I know that place, the name of the store is Bai Jinhan, many colleagues from China Film have been there, and I heard that it is not bad."

As Chen Yu spoke, the joyful laughter of the men sounded in the car,

In less than ten minutes, the destination arrives.

The black Maybach turned into a fork in the road, and a puff of smoke stopped in front of a glittering store.

Platinum Han Leisure Club!
