Chapter 63: God's Chance to Get Rich!
The award ceremony had to wait until the evening.
During the day, Han Zhou and Wang Xiya planned to go to the movies.
After all, it is a film festival, and the movies sent over are all on the air.
When he came to the park, Han Zhou saw a movie poster and was directly stunned.
"It's ......"
"Dragon?"
The name of the movie is a dragon in Russian, and I can't tell why I look at the name, but on this poster, a lonely boat floats on the blue sea like a sacrifice, the heroine in a white dress sits on a boat, and a dragon flies in the air.
That's not what He's a Dragon is.
Han Zhou suddenly remembered something interesting, and immediately: "You ask them, has this movie been released in the country of hairy bears!" ”
Wang Xiya communicated directly with the conductor.
Soon, Wang Xiya got a reply: "It's just been released for a week, and the box office is dismal. ”
"Steady! That's it! Han Zhou: "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”
Wang Xiya was stunned when she heard Han Zhou's words.
What the hell, the box office is dismal, I can't go back to the original kind, go and see?
"I may not be too clear, the investment in this movie is about 14 million US dollars, and the box office in the first week is converted to almost 700,000 US dollars, and it is estimated that even one-tenth of the cost will not be recovered."
Han Zhou: "Let's go, let's buy a ticket to see it." ”
The more you say it, the more it looks like "He's a Dragon"!
"He is a Dragon" on the Chinese Internet, a hit, the film is widely praised by domestic audiences, and on the short video platform, the number of likes and comments of more than 10,000 commentary videos, no less than fifty.
This kind of popularity, if it had been postponed in China, it would have at least more than 500 million box office!
However, the fact that this film was born in the country of hairy bears is a tragedy.
Because the audience of the Mao Bear Country is only keen on war movies.
This "He is a Dragon" is so bad that the bottoms are gone.
In the previous life, "He Is a Dragon", I heard that it was a romance film based on their mythology, and finally won more than 50 million box office in China in one week, and the box office was screened in the local country of Hanging Hammer Bear.
The most important thing is that the copyright of Huaguo was only introduced with 300,000 US dollars.
This yield is higher than robbing a bank.
Moreover, the publisher didn't dare to market at the beginning, so it was thrown out directly, and this box office result was smashed!
"It's based on the mythology of my country, and it's a romance film, as long as it's beautiful enough, the effect should be not much different from the one in the previous life."
As long as you can have a ninety percent level, you can buy it, and it will definitely be a gold mountain!
Wang Xiya bought the ticket and walked into the cinema with Han Zhou.
At the same time, Timo Pushkin and his assistants were on the spot looking at the list of foreign films for the competition.
"How much did this movie gross?"
Of course, Timo was asking about the box office at the festival, not the market box office.
"Seventy-eight percent attendance for three games."
Timo was a little surprised: "This? Seventy-eight percent? ”
"Why?"
Timo looks at the cover poster of the movie.
Slipshod.
A man in a funny suit, a red sweater vest, with a scruffy beard and loose hair.
Running in the field, with snow in the back and green grass in front.
At the boundary grows a tall, leafless dead tree.
Dead trees occupy 70 percent of the poster's space.
Just look at it, you can see that the green grass in front is P, which is very fake.
And the name of the movie is called, "Hello Ah Tree".
What the heck? Why is there a 78 percent attendance rate?
Timo was angry: "It's up to him." ”
Recently, Timo Pushkin's new film was launched, and the box office was extremely dismal, and now I see such a shoddy thing, and the attendance of the hammer is three of his own, so be sure to see what he shoots.
Actually, Timo Pushkin was a little unlucky.
But it can also be said to be a bit tough.
He just doesn't want to make war movies.
Decades ago, Da Mao disintegrated, and the Mao Xiong people who were fooled and broke their legs by the United States came back to their senses and understood.
Subsequently, the people of the United States made movies all over the world to snatch the results of the Second World War.
After watching the audience, there was only one sentence in the hairy bear country: 'Fuck your fart, you captured Germany?' Then why don't we have tens of millions of troops in the woolly bear country? Why did you go? Hit the aliens went? ’
Therefore, the audience of Mao Xiong Country especially likes to watch war movies, especially war movies that fight Germany.
The country's own citizens are not wealthy, and although the government tries to keep prices down so that they can try to meet the demand for high-calorie food to overcome the cold winter, the price of things other than eating and drinking is high.
Especially recreational activities.
It's been 22 years now, and on the streets of the Woolly Bear Country, one in five people are still wearing fake Adadis and holding a black and white screen Lokia.
In addition, the rapid development of the TV industry in Mao Xiong Country in recent years, and even the TV series that dominate the list in the United States, so that the living space of the film industry has been extremely compressed.
Their film market was not developed in the first place, and the audience strongly supported war films, and other films were miserable.
Timo Pushkin's level of filmmaking is very high, and he was once recommended by a friend to go to the United States.
As a result, in the United States, the movie received was ...... "Vampire Slayer Nata", Nata is a president in the history of the United States, in other words, he received a spoof movie.
As a result, Timo Pushkin was not convinced, so he forced the spoof film to make it a serious drama as much as possible.
In the end, the box office was also good.
However, Timo Pushkin can only receive some small-budget films after that, after all, Hollywood does not like a disobedient director.
Even if you are talented, but you are a hairy bear countryman, don't you have a B number?
Therefore, Timo Pushkin earned enough commissions in Hollywood, so he returned to the country of hairy bears and paid for the filming of "Dragon" himself.
Outcome...... Miserable, worse than Wangcai and Xiaoqiang and their masters combined!
……
Coming out of the cinema, Wang Xiya was a little surprised: "The quality ...... Very high. ”
Arguably, top-of-the-line.
If you don't tell the story, just talk about the sense of picture and atmosphere, and you won't lose to Hollywood.
If you talk about the whole, at least it is an eight-point movie.
After all, it is a film in which a well-known director who has achieved a small success in Hollywood has gambled half of his net worth.
"Why is it so bad at the box office?"
"That's it!" Han Zhou's laughter was numb, and his smile stopped.
In front of him, two people walked towards him.
On the other side, Timo Pushkin and his assistant walked out of the cinema and were depressed.
Regardless of the assistant's dissuasion, he directly took out a cigarette and lit it.
It's indoors!
Teemo: "That actor, I'm going to make him my lead actor once!" ”
"Hollywood can't count five of this kind of acting."
The assistant was shocked: "Hollywood can't find five?" Is it so exaggerated? ”
Timo was very serious: "Five are too much. ”
At this point, Teemo stopped, looked ahead, and asked, "Am I mistaken...... Isn't that ...... Tree?! ”
The two teams met unexpectedly.
"Hello Shu'er, I'm Timo, I'm going to sign you as the lead actor of my new movie!"
"Director Pushkin, hello, my name is Han Zhou, I am the president of Huaguo New World Entertainment Company, do you have the overseas copyright of "Dragon" in your own hands?"
Teemo said to Han Zhou.
And Wang Xiya helped Han Zhou translate this sentence.
Timo was surprised: "What!?" ”
Wang Xiya translated for Han Zhou, Han Zhou: "Huh?!" ”
In the end, Timo proposed to invite Han Zhou Wang Xiya to drink coffee and have a good chat.
Arriving at the café, Timo was very excited: "I love your performance so much, without your performance, this movie is nothing." ”
Han Zhou: "......"
Teemo: "The film is probably trying to convey an emotion? It's true that very strong emotions, but more so through your performance, the script can be said to be unclear. ”
Han Zhou: "I wrote the script. ”
Teemo: "......"
"No wonder you have mastered this role to such an extent, it's just too good, then you must have a very good original script, the director's level is too low, we can cooperate!"
Han Zhou: "The director is me. ”
Teemo: "......"
slapped the horse's ass and slapped the horse egg, and hit the key point directly.
Han Zhou smiled: "Don't be so excited, I know this movie won't be high at the box office, but I still made it." ”
Timo's eyes lit up: "The hero sees the same thing!" ”
"My "Dragon", I also knew that the box office would not be high, but I still insisted on filming it and spent a lot of money, but I don't care!"
After all, he is a director who has been in Hollywood for several years, although he is not famous, but he makes a lot of money, which can make him waste two or three movies.
Even if everything goes wrong, it's a big deal to go to Hollywood to make a spoof film for a few more years.
Han Zhou laughed: "I like this sentence, in order not to let you lose too much, I decided to buy the Chinese copyright of your "Dragon", I opened a new film company, and I want to operate the introduction of movies for release." ”
Wang Xiya whispered: "There are only eight film companies in the country that are qualified to introduce films, and you don't." ”
Han Zhou looked at Timo with a smile, and turned his head sideways at Wang Xiya: "Buy it first." ”
Wang Xiya translated it again.
Timohaha laughed: "Chinese people just like to be polite so much, no, I can accept my loss." ”
Han Zhou was very sincere: "If you don't accept it, you don't treat me as a friend, if you are not a friend, you don't speculate for more than half a sentence." ”
Wang Xiya translated it again.
Timo Pushkin was stunned.
The assistant next to him: "The Chinese people are very face-conscious, if they don't accept it, they don't give face, and in their place, face is much heavier than ours." ”
The word face is also present in Europe and the United States, but not to the extent of China.
They prefer to use the word dignity, and face is backwards compatible with the word 'dignity'.
Timo Pushkin: "I can promise you to sell you the copyright of China, but you can't bid too high, and if the price is too high, you just won't give me face." ”
"Since we're friends, don't be too polite."
Wang Xiya translated it again.
Han Zhou laughed: "How about the 300,000 American knife?" ”
Timo Pushkin: "Fifty thousand dollars means yes." ”
Assistant: "??? ”
Han Zhou: "That's not good, 200,000 US dollars!" It couldn't be any lower. ”
Wang Xiya: "??? ”
Timo was anxious and pressed Han Zhou's hand: "100,000 American knives, don't say it again, I won't sell it if I say it again!" ”
Han Zhou was a little angry, and then turned to a compromise: "Since you are so sincere, brother, then I ...... Well, 100,000 dollars is 100,000 dollars. ”
Wang Xiya was not sure if the other party's assistant could speak Chinese, so she whispered very quietly: "How do you talk about the price?" ”
"Buyers go up and sellers go down?"
Han Zhou whispered: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will turn his face and beat me after seeing the box office of "Dragon" in China...... After all, I'm going to eat with my face at this stage. ”
"He may think that his film will not be high at the box office in China, and he doesn't want to trick me, after all, he still asks me to be the leading actor in his movie."
Wang Xiya: "......"
Wang Xiya didn't know why Han Zhou was sure that this "Dragon" would be taken to China and make money.
But Wang Xiya knows that she also thinks "Dragon" is good-looking.
I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and my judgment of movies is not under those professional film critics.
Much more than them.
Professional film critics can only judge whether the movie is good or not, not the market.
Wang Xiya can judge the market, know what kind of movie, and what kind of publicity routine to match, which may stimulate the box office.
Seeing "Dragon", Wang Xiya felt that if this movie was promoted with a lot of money, it would definitely be able to hit a high box office.
But...... Wang Xiya knew that Han Zhou had no money now.
Therefore, Wang Xiya is very curious about how Han Zhou wants to operate this movie when he gets it.
Or simply, how to hype.
A movie that was made and pounced as a dog in his home country, wants Chinese fans, especially passers-by, to buy it?!
"Han, the starring thing ......"
Han Zhou smiled: "I just released a movie now, and there is another movie that has just been filmed and has not yet been released, and there is a shooting plan, there are variety shows in China, and there will be no time for at least a year." ”
The rejection is obvious enough, right?
Timo Pushkin: "Harm?! It's only been a year? I'm going to be working on my next movie for at least two and a half years! ”
Han Zhou: "??? ”
Han Zhou: "Maybe my price is a bit high at that time!" ”
Timo pondered: "This is indeed a problem, with your talent, after two years, I'm afraid the salary will be very high, why don't you sign it today?!" ”
Han Zhou: "I'm sorry I'm not going to lock myself into something that I haven't planned yet, I have a lot of things to do. ”
Teemo: "What's the matter!?" ”
Han Zhou: "In three years, I have won all the actors that countries around the world can get." ”
"All...... Actor ...... "Teemo:"????!!!! ”
"That'...... Today's actor, are you sure? ”
Han Zhou smiled slightly and took out his mobile phone: "Do you know Russian!?" Help me see what the text message sent to me by the organizing committee means? ”
Teemo: "!! ”
You brute...... Kid me!
retarded......
Timohaha laughed, "Congratulations. ”
Han Zhou pressed his hand: "Calm and calm, I won't believe this is true until I get it." ”
