"Did you like this movie?"

"I like it!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

In Suzhou Light and Shadow Times Cinema, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei are thanking the audience who came to participate in the roadshow.

Because there are very few characters in the movie "Love Letter", there are only two of them running roadshows, which is a lot more shabby than the movies where more than a dozen other actors run roadshows together.

However, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei's fame and influence are a little higher than half of the entertainment industry tied together, but it is enough to attract the enthusiasm of fans from all over the world.

Starting from the capital, all the way south, and then west, this is the roadshow publicity route of "Love Letter", which is expected to run more than a dozen cities.

To be honest, Wu Yuan was not so active in running roadshows in "Gravity" back then, but this time he was very active.

After all, this is Wu Yuan's "first original" film.

is different from the unanimous singing of some media, whether it is Wu Yuan or Light and Shadow Times, they are very satisfied with the box office results of "Love Letter".

The box office of "Love Letter" exceeded 100 million in the first week, and it achieved good box office results in Hong Kong and Taiwan!

Yes, this time "Love Letter" got the opportunity to be released simultaneously on Taiwan Island.

On Valentine's Day, the film achieved a box office of NT$21.64 million on Taiwan Island, and the box office on Taiwan Island also exceeded NT$60 million.

On the first day of Valentine's Day on Hong Kong Island, it also won an opening score of 2.68 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be regarded as an outstanding achievement among mainland movies released on Hong Kong Island.

In the era of light and shadow on Taiwan Island and Hong Kong Island, there was no publicity, basically completely ignoring the publicity of these two markets, and it was directly released with a big grin.

was able to achieve such good box office results in the two places, and almost all of it was supported by Wu Yuan's personal charm and Liu Yifei's fame.

Especially on Taiwan Island, the last time I went to Jinma, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei became the hottest topics on the island, both of them are well-known actors and directors on Taiwan Island, but their film works have hardly been released on Taiwan Island.

This time, it was finally possible to have a "Love Letter" released simultaneously on Taiwan Island, which immediately aroused the enthusiasm of Taiwan audiences for watching the movie, and suddenly broke the daily box office record of mainland films on Taiwan Island.

Even the popularity of "Love Letter" on Taiwan Island is even higher than that of the mainland.

Because Taiwan Island prefers this kind of small, fresh, romantic-style romance more than the mainland, they eat this type of movie more.

However, there are good and bad, the popularity of "Love Letter" on Taiwan Island has made many local fans on Taiwan Island mistakenly think that Wu Yuan is a romance film director.

Although "Interstellar" did well at the box office on Taiwan, the media on Taiwan at that time deliberately did not publicize that the director of the film was a mainlander, so that many Taiwan fans had a small misunderstanding of Wu Yuan.

But this is not a big deal, anyway, Wu Yuan has never paid much attention to the Taiwan market.

The box office of Taiwan's Chinese film champion "Haijiao No. 7" is only more than NT$500 million, equivalent to more than 100 million yuan, which really can't enter Wu Yuan's eyes.

Even for this roadshow, he didn't plan the itinerary of Taiwan Island and Hong Kong Island, and the southernmost was Guangzhou.

"With such a small-budget film with an investment of less than 10 million, I am very satisfied with this achievement."

Leaning on the spacious back seat of the nanny car, Wu Yuan said in a relaxed tone: "Happy Twist's "One Thought of Heaven" doesn't even have a box office of 100 million. ”

"It's good that we can have 200 million."

"And the release in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia is also in full swing, and I think this movie can also achieve good box office results overseas."

The overseas distribution in the era of light and shadow is not like other domestic films, which are arranged in Hollywood to contact a few or ten or twenty movie theaters, which is called overseas release.

For overseas distribution in the era of light and shadow, either you can directly buy out the distribution rights of a country at a fixed price, and the price is not low, or you can directly negotiate with foreign distribution companies and theaters about the sharing and scheduling rate, and directly release it on a large scale.

For example, the Japanese market has negotiated the release of "Love Letter", and it is still cooperating with Toho, and at least more than 400 movie theaters will be arranged to release it together, and the release period will be at least 45 days.

The 200 million box office performance of "Love Letter" in China will definitely not be the end, which is also the biggest advantage of Wu Yuan, an international director, and the market for the films he directs will never be limited to one country.

"For overseas releases, we don't have to publicize them, this is not a blockbuster with high pressure to return to the cost, and we need to cooperate with the publicity."

Wu Yuan let out a long breath and rubbed the root of his nose a little tiredly: "It's really tiring to run a roadshow, and I don't know how Fan Xiaopang did it when he ran 79 roadshows in a month." ”

"Should I say it or not, in the area of dedication, Fan Xiaopang is really powerful."

I don't know why, Wu Yuan suddenly remembered Fan Binbin, not to mention anything else, in terms of the efforts of his acting career, Fan Binbin is indeed a model worker among model workers, the most desperate female star in the circle, and she travels back and forth at home and abroad.

It's a pity, why is there tax evasion.

Thinking about it, he thought about "X-Men: Future Past" again.

"Hey, Sissi, did Fox contact you?" Wu Yuan asked suddenly.

"Well, I've been contacted, and the contract of intent has been signed." Liu Yifei grinned, "By the way, WME and CAA have contacted me and want to sign a brokerage contract with me." ”

"But I refused."

"Actually, it's no problem to say yes." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said without mind.

WME, also known as William Morris Agency, is one of the three major brokerage firms in the United States, known for its strong resources and global reach, and is a century-old brokerage in the brokerage industry, so old that the other four of the five major brokerage families together are not as old as him.

CAA (Innovative Talent Agency) is also a giant, the world's No. 1 elite talent agency, representing the most creative and successful artists in film, television, music, theater, sports, video games, the Internet and many other fields.

In particular, CAA still has a bit of a monopoly, because the artists signed by it cover almost half of Hollywood's actors, singers, and well-known figures, so that when the Big Six are making movies, they can never bypass CAA, and always have to accept some of CAA's bundled cooperation terms.

If you don't agree to him, then you don't want to use any of the actors under CAA.

Most of the time, Hollywood Six had to compromise and accept the terms of the CAA's bundling.

The so-called bundling clause of CAA is that when you want to use one of his big-name actors, you must pack a few other CAA actors and let them star together.

The bundle routine that Yang Mi later did for Jiaxing to play, if you want to sign Yang Mi or Reba into the group, you must bundle and then use other artists under their company, all of which are routines played by CAA.

Even CAA played a lot more than Jiaxing.

This kind of behavior is really disgusting if you look at it from the producer's side, but it is very comfortable to look at it from the side of the signed artists under CAA, and it is so cool to be tied to the group with big-name actors.

This kind of brokerage company, if you can sign in, it's actually pretty good.

"WME is okay, a family-owned brokerage company has no future, but CAA can still consider it, if it is only to sign overseas brokerage contracts with them, it is no problem." (End of chapter)
