370 Financing

More than a week later, "1937" was officially released in the mainland.

March is not the peak season, but it still attracts countless movie fans to the theater to watch.

The movie has actually opened pre-sale on Maoyan tickets a long time ago.

With the Oscars, the pre-sale box office directly broke the record, and the online pre-sale box office came to 64 million, and the rest of the channels exceeded 30 million.

By the time it premiered on the 10th, the box office broke 100 million on the same day.

And after watching it, everyone quickly understood why "1937" could withstand so much pressure that the international community could not ignore it at all, because this movie is technically really good.

People who are more knowledgeable also understand it thoroughly after seeing it, and it is precisely because the movie cannot be ignored in terms of technology that the Oscars can be awarded to two Chinese filmmakers.

Otherwise, it is really too difficult for Chinese filmmakers to win the Oscar according to the ordinary number of movies, isn't this the case with "Brokeback Mountain", if it weren't for the sensitive subject matter, Lu Ping'an really wouldn't want to win the award.

After all, there are only a few who know the truth.

Nowadays, most people don't believe this.

Now everyone doesn't care about the truth of the Oscars, everyone just wants to watch movies.

Soon, the score on Douban came out, 9.2 points.

This score should be inflated, because it will bring a little bit of emotion to the small day in it.

In the future, it may slowly return to the normal score of around 8.6.

But now 9.2, that's 9.2.

So more people walked into the theater.

And with the popularity of "1937" and the Oscars, there is the popularity of war-themed film and television dramas.

Xingchen did not let go of this dividend, and the Propaganda Department directly started publicity.

"The original version of "1937" starred by Ning Hao, written by Lu Ping'an, Xingchen's new movie, the theme of the Anti-Japanese War "We Come from the Future", and I will meet you in June!"

"The production team of "1937", produced by Xingchen, and the military-themed TV series "Soldier Assault" will land on CCTV in April."

Two messages, simple.

But it also won the highest attention in the first place.

The original cast, produced, Lu Ping'an and Ning Hao have won the Oscar, and they are also war-themed, can they be bad?

For a while, the popularity of the two began to soar.

Huayi is very happy.

Because they also have a war movie this year, and it just happened to be finished.

So "The Assembly" also took advantage of this time to debut, announced its completion, and will be released this year.

"Casting Names" has a kind of example.

We are also a war movie, although it is ancient, but ancient is also a war.

This has attracted many media to join the hype, saying that this year is a big year with a war theme!

Small companies from all walks of life are also moving, and Hengdian is about to usher in another round of devil deaths.

In fact, at this time, Xingchen should promote "Pacific Rim" and "Kung Fu Panda" the most.

After all, these two are the works that truly embody the highest level of Xingchen's technology.

But Lu Ping'an finally decided to give way to the two war projects.

After all, "1937" is no longer just Xingchen's own project.

As a movie that speaks for the country, the top has also given strong support, so let it go down this path.

And these two films just happen to fit the tone.

In addition, the promotion of "Huantai" and "Panda" actually doesn't need to take any east wind.

As long as Xingchen says that the file is finalized, the media will definitely come up.

After all, who doesn't know that the movie with the highest cost and the most technical use in domestic film history is "Huantai".

The cost of six or seven billion yuan is more than much propaganda just by this number.

So don't worry, "1937" will be offline in theaters in April, and then it will be released in July, just right.

The domestic "1937" is hot.

The same is true here in North America.

A movie, as long as it wins the Oscar, will have some help to the box office of the movie.

Those that have already been released will take advantage of this shareholder wind to re-release, and theaters will also give the green light.

is the most comfortable in the release, because you can reap the dividends for the first time.

That's what happened with 1937.

After the end of the Oscars, the box office has come to a wave of increases, and the current North American dubbed version has been released for a total of two weeks, and the Oscars have been milking for a week, and the total box office has come to 51 million.

This number is much better than expected, and it is very likely to break 100 million after completing the release task in two to three months in the future.

This is still in North America, and the rest of the regions have also begun to be released one after another, although the box office has nothing to do with Lu Ping'an, but it will not be bad.

The media predicts that with the addition of Chinese mainland, the total global box office of "1937" will be around 2.2 to 250 million, which is a very good result.

Of course, there is also a regret during the period, that is, Xiaori has not yet decided whether it can be released.

Lu Ping'an is not hopeful about this, it was almost equivalent to tearing his face in the past few days, how can it still be released?

But things still took a turn for the better.

On this day, several people came to Watzberg.

"Lu, to introduce, this is Nordin, a distant cousin of mine and the main acquirer of this financing."

Watzberg introduced the lead Notting.

This is a white man who looks about 40 years old.

Well, looking at the hooked nose and facial features, it's very squid

"Hello Lu, nice to meet you, I'm your fan."

"Hello Mr. Nordin."

The two chatted briefly, and everyone sat down to talk.

After sitting down, Nordin got straight to the point: "Lu, I know that this time "1937" has encountered some trouble in the release of Neon, as a new shareholder in the future, leave this issue to me, it will definitely satisfy everyone." ”

In a big tone, Lu Ping'an glanced at Watzberg.

Watzberg replied directly: "He said yes, then it's basically fine." ”

Without waiting for Lu Ping'an to speak, Nordin stretched out another finger and said, "The premise is that this acquisition can be successfully completed." ”

After saying that, Nordin took out his cigar and began to snort, his eyes full of confidence.

Lu Ping'an is happy, this one named Nordin is quite stylish.

I just don't know if it's a pretend or something.

For him, this guy had better be on the same level as Watzberg.

A little background, a little means, can solve problems, and at the same time likes movies, but I don't have much ability, so I don't interfere in production.

This kind of gold owner is the most comfortable.

If you really like to interfere indiscriminately, then it's troublesome.

So whether the neon copyright matter can be solved and put aside for now.

The crowd then went straight to the matter of financing.

Financing is also simple.

Nordin is not a person, he represents a consortium behind him.

The financing plan is to acquire a 50% stake.

Appetite is huge.

If the shareholding is successful, he will be the majority shareholder.

But Watts, of course, they weren't happy.

Now the peak is actually not short of money, although the next step is indeed to develop bigger, but it will not cut off 50%.

It's not the little pony brother back then, at that time, the pony really didn't have the money to do this.

There is also disagreement on valuation.

Valuation is not as accurate as other industries because it involves project IP.

At the moment, Nordin thinks the peak is worth a maximum of $800 million.

And Watts thinks the peak is worth at least 1.2 billion.

So there's a lot to talk about next.

It was only when it came to the specific discussion that a scene appeared that made Watzberg smile meaningfully.

Notting held a cigar, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked Lu Ping'an very pretendly: "Lu, I like to gamble, Watts knows, the casino he frequents, our family has a little share, so I like to gamble since I was a child, I think that's it, let's gamble, don't you have three movies to be on next, let's bet on the box office, who guesses closely, listen to whom." ”

This tone is even more heroic than Watzberg's big money.

Lu Ping'an couldn't help but be curious, how much money does this guy named Nordin have?

Without thinking too much, Nordin directly analyzed the three upcoming movies.

"Chainsaw 4", "Happy Death Day 2", and the new series "Human Removal Project 1".

Nordin gave the predictions one by one.

After speaking, Watts on the side compared this number with the previous prediction of Lu Ping'an in his mind, and then his eyes lit up, as if a sense of pleasure arose spontaneously, and then he couldn't wait to clapp: "Okay, just do it!" ”
