Chapter 183: Take Your Money and Do Your Business!

Peng Fa actually deserved to be beaten.

He uses Zhou Chen to attract beauties, and uses beauties to attract filmmakers!

He's just an iron bastard!

But this bastard's method is really effective.

"Chasing the Murderer" was only screened for four screenings, and at the time of its premiere, there were very few film dealers who came.

But in the next four shows, the number of film companies began to slowly increase.

Especially in the third scene, those beauties who were going to see Zhou Chen didn't rob those filmmakers.

Although the film company was a little disappointed when he entered the screening hall and saw the big men around him, the movie did not disappoint them.

Although thrillers are niche films, they are more marketable in Europe and the United States than movies like "The Great Wall".

Coupled with Zhou Chen's attraction to female audiences, the filmmakers present were even more moved.

Since they are filmmakers, they have a more accurate grasp of the market.

They don't care if the movie is good or not, they just see if it can be sold for money!

Therefore, after the movie ended, many people found the producer to talk about copyright on behalf of Lao Liu.

This is not good for Lao Liu.

Peng Fa was also very excited in the ward, shouting that this beating was not in vain!

Zhou Chen looked at him like this, and shook his head in his heart, how old is he, and he still looks like this.

Walking out of the ward, a somewhat bald middle-aged man leaned over very obscenely.

"Is it Mr. Zhou?"

"You are?"

Zhou Chen looked at the middle-aged man, a little vigilant.

After all, this is a foreign country, and vigilance is necessary.

The bald man hurriedly handed out a business card.

"I'm the person in charge of Corelli Images, and my name is Saul~!"

"Our company specializes in discs, and we have our own distribution channels throughout Europe!"

Saul said that his company is still somewhat confident.

"Mr. Zhou, can we talk?"

Zhou Chen looked at the business card in his hand, and then at the somewhat humble middle-aged man.

He felt that he should have nothing to talk about with someone from an imaging company, after all, the other party does not make movies, only releases videotapes.

What does this have to do with Zhou Chen as an actor?

But he nodded eventually.

With a look of surprise on his face, Thor immediately walked to the bench outside the hospital with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen handed over a can of cold beer before asking:

"Mr. Thor, you can tell me now what's the matter with me."

Saul gulped down half a can of beer before he could relax.

Call~~

He exhaled deeply before he said:

"Mr. Zhou, it's like this~"

Saul elaborated on the situation in the European film market.

Europe and the United States are different from China, in addition to the release of movies in theaters and the Internet, they will also be distributed on videotapes and Blu-ray discs.

There are even small studios that specialize in filming films for distribution in the videotape market.

And the tax on videotapes is not high, and there are not so many people who share it.

The income in this is sometimes not much lower than that of the theater chain.

In fact, Huaxia also had the possibility of taking this road at the beginning, but it was damaged too badly by pirated discs.

Speaking of Saul, his film company specializes in buying film rights and making videotapes.

But the current videotape market is not easy to do, after all, there is the Internet, there are movie theaters, and few people choose to use DV machines at home.

And because the company is too small and the ability to distribute goods is not strong, it is becoming more and more difficult for Saul to buy the rights to make video tapes.

At this Cannes Film Festival, he begged people everywhere, just to buy the rights to a good movie.

But how could a good movie choose Saul's small company.

Zhou Chen took a sip of cold beer, and the cold feeling shook his spirit.

"Three questions!"

He looked at Thor, who looked pitiful next to him.

"First of all, why do you think our films can make money?"

"Secondly, why do you think we're going to sell you the rights?"

"In the end, I'm just an actor, why are you looking for me?"

After speaking, Zhou Chen took another sip of wine.

Don't blame him directly, he's such a person!

Thor also took a sip of wine and looked at Zhou Chen with burning eyes.

"Am you going to help me after I answer your three questions?"

Zhou Chen spread his hands.

"Probably! But the possibility of me helping money is greater than helping you. ”

is not related to the family, why does Zhou Chen want to help a foreigner in a foreign country?

Thor understood this, and he nodded and said:

"First of all, I think this movie can make money because the mainstream movies in the European and American video tape markets are thrillers!"

Videotapes are a small market, and thrillers are niche films, but they are the mainstream in videotapes.

This combination seems a little weird, but many people just like to watch some horror ghosts and strange movies at home.

In order to argue his point, Saul also took out sales records from previous years, and the top ones were thrillers.

The best selling video film in Europe was the horror film "The Legend of the Blood Wolf".

Zhou Chen has never heard of this movie, but it has sold more than 100,000 discs.

In other words, this disc alone can make millions of euros!

There is also the American market, which also contributed to similar sales.

In addition to it, there is another place that Zhou Chen can't think of without looking at the documents.

Africa!

The world adds up, and it is still possible to earn tens of millions!

Zhou Chen was also a little moved after reading this.

That's when Saul continued:

"Now I can answer your second question, this is my last chance! I'll do everything I can to release this movie! ”

He stared at Zhou Chen, and his tone became more serious than ever.

"I know that Mr. Zhou's status in the crew is not low, I hope you can help me reach an agreement with the producer!"

"As long as you can achieve a 5% share, I am willing to give it to you!"

Even though the profitability of the videotape market is high, a 5% share is also a considerable share.

It can be seen that Saul really wants to win this movie.

Zhou Chen finished drinking the cold beer in his hand and said lightly:

“10%! I promise to get it for you! ”

Sol looked at Zhou Chen's handsome side face and gritted his teeth!

10% of the time, he can't guarantee how much money he will make.

Zhou Chen looked at it but said with a smile:

"I'm not asking for your money, I'm going to do your business with your money!"

"Mr. Thor, do you understand?"

Sometimes these foreigners just lack a kind of wisdom, and such a simple truth still needs to be pointed out by Zhou Chen.

5% is what Zhou Chen deserves, and he can't take money out of what he should get to do things for others.

It's very simple.

Thor was stunned for a moment.

"Is this the wisdom of the ancient kingdom of China again?"

"No!"

Zhou Chen shook his head and said confidently:

"It's human sophistication!"

Thor was also fooled by Zhou Chen's appearance at the moment.

"Okay! 10%! ”
