Fly to Nice first and then transfer to Cannes, a day early.

Warren Buffett Zhao is very busy, and in addition to "Painted Skin", he also has to help the platform of "Red Cliff".

That's right, Lao Wu also brought "Red Cliff" to Cannes to catch the scene...

It's all about selling films, and no one should look down on anyone!

Of course, the investor of "Red Cliff" is Lion Rock Pictures in the United States, in fact, Lao Wu's personal film company in the United States, Zhang Jiazhen is responsible for taking care of it, and their experience in selling films is much stronger than Shen Mengxi's, at least they have sold a lot of poster booths...

Shen Mengxi and the others drove to the hotel, passed through the streets of Cannes, and even saw the poster of "Red Cliff" hanging there!

"Damn, I don't have experience this time, next time we have to buy a poster booth!"

Li Yiping comforted him: "It's okay, I've already contacted us, and we will set up a booth for "Painted Skin" tomorrow night..."

Shen Mengxi just said it casually, and soon saw the biggest poster, and couldn't help but exclaim: "..."Kung Fu Panda"!"

It's really "Kung Fu Panda"!

The poster of "Kung Fu Panda" occupied the largest and tallest booth on the streets of Cannes!

“... How much does it cost to hang this thing for seven days?"

"Why don't you get 800,000 euros!"

"Tsk, it's still Hollywood bigwigs who are rich, and compared to them, we're hillbillies. ”

With a little emotion, the car arrived at the hotel, the Intercontinental Carlton Hotel.

Not too luxurious, medium-sized, the total cost of accommodation during the festival is 100,000 euros...

......

Shen Mengxi finished taking a bath and was about to go downstairs for a walk, maybe he could meet one or two big Yanmars...

He wasn't as interested in the Great Yanma ...

There is no duplicity, and it is not a needle in the sea, but...

How to say, in the European and American series, the actress let out a howl like killing a pig, and the sentence "Oh, God!" was repeated over and over again.

There is no beauty at all!

But this is not coming to Cannes, when I used to mix in circles, I heard that during the Cannes Film Festival, exotic girls kept coming forward to promote themselves, just to be able to live on the side of the road!

One shot for a night's stay...

Shen Mengxi just wanted to verify if this was true!

Maybe it's the seniors who are bragging!

On the one hand, it is verified, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as promoting the exchange of bodily fluids between China and the West...

Before getting dressed, Zhao Jinsong and Li Yiping knocked on the door and walked in

"Boss, I inquired, and the advertised price of the house catalogue ranges from $50,000 to $500,000..."

Shen Mengxi swallowed his saliva, and then asked, "The cover is half a million dollars?"

"Yes!"

"That's... Buy the inside pages, half a million dollars is too expensive. ”

I wanted to pretend to be forced, but I was really reluctant.

Half a million dollars, why not?

"We held a press conference around the 18th, focusing on the promotion of "Painted Skin"..."

"Will anyone come?"

“... You can rest assured that we will contact the media and reporters!"

"Okay..."Shen Mengxi originally wanted to ask, 'Why don't you leave', but when the words came to his lips, he changed them to: "What are you going to do next?"

"Let's trade!"

“... That... Where's Zhou Xun? Do you want to bring her with you?"

"I just asked, and her assistant said that she was not feeling well and rested..."

......

Q, what is it like to go to Cannes with a workaholic?

No, the problem should be changed, it should be with two workaholics...

Shen Mengxi is really, helpless!

The Festival de Cannes itself includes a multifaceted event such as the Marché du Film Festival, the Palme d'Or, the Cinema Fund and the Film Critics' Symposium, making the city feel more like a big bazaar during the festival...

The Marché du Film is on the first basement floor of the Palais du Cinema. Not too much.

It's even a little deserted!

Li Yiping spoke proficient English and inquired about a random white uncle, and came back to report: "The price of this year's booth is too high, and the rent of any showcase is 3,000 euros a day... I think we'd better focus on the cocktail party, don't we already have potential studios..."

In fact, the best-selling films in overseas markets are still animated films with "Chinese characteristics" such as "Havoc in Heaven" and Cheng Long's movies that are always good sellers. ”

"Many large international companies are staying in the Carlton Hotel, and mature buyers are more accustomed to this model of separate inter-company transactions, so let's rent a few private rooms... I inquired about the price, about 8000 euros a day, we rent it for three days..."

“... Go ahead and do it!"

Shen Mengxi listened to the two of them sing and talk about a bunch of things, and after a little analysis, he knew that what they said was right, and asked by the way: "For Mao's "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" is very good?"

Li Yiping: "What do you think, how much does Disney cost to make an animation, from as little as 100 million to as much as 200 million or 300 million US dollars, if the Eastern European market or France wants to buy the copyright, it is not only expensive, but also has to be divided among others." But for our films, they can buy the rights for $100,000, so why not? And there are no cultural discounts for cartoons, they are all suitable for young audiences, and they are especially easy to sell. ”

"There are also ethnic genre films, such as "Court on Horseback", "Tuya's Marriage" and the like, although the copyright of a single country can only be regarded as three melons and two dates at most, but it can't stand up to small profits and quick turnover!"

Shen Mengxi subconsciously thought that Zhao Jinsong wanted to settle for him again, and waved his hand: "... Come on, I don't want to go to the world at all, I just think about the domestic market, and when the domestic market grows bigger, and a film sells more than a billion box office, who cares about the so-called overseas market?"

Zhao Jinsong just wanted to say something, Li Yiping interrupted him, nodded and said: "Actually, I also settle the account, this trip to Cannes, plus the round-trip air ticket, our total cost is at least 3 million euros! To be honest, I really don't think it's a good deal!"

“... Is it so high?"

"Yes, we have a lot of people, accommodation, transportation, food, tips, booth plus at least 400,000 euros, but also publicity, posters, house magazines, press conferences, cocktail parties... 3 million euros, I calculated according to the consumption of the previous years, and the situation should rise a lot this year!"

"It's okay, I forgot to tell you, I invested a quarter of "Uninvited", and the profit was at least 10 million US dollars!"

This sentence translates: your boss has money, don't care about these basic expenses...

It's all here, and you don't have to save the money you should spend!

But it's still so distressing to step on the horse!

Three million euros, no, four million euros, converted into RMB, close to 33 million...

If the copyrights of "Painted Skin" and "Ip Man" can't be sold for this money, this trip will be considered a loss!

After walking around and understanding everything, Shen Mengxi proposed: "Let's go, go to Menadiyah Street?"

Zhao Jinsong suddenly asked, "Do we want to pick a few movies to go back?"

Shen Mengxi's eyes lit up: "Buy out the copyright, make a batch of films, and go back to the release?"

"yes, that's what I thought. ”

The two looked at Li Yiping at the same time, and the latter sighed: "How can it be so easy for you to pick up the leaks? For example, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", I just asked, the mainland copyright is at least 3 million US dollars, do we want to buy it?"

"$3 million isn't a lot of profit margin..."

Shen Mengxi calculated the account, with Will Smith's appeal and the quality of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", it is not difficult for the mainland box office to exceed 50 million, but the 50 million share account is less than 20 million yuan, and 3 million US dollars is less than 20 million yuan...

No matter how you look at it, this business is a loss.

"Let's go, no one who can trade in the market is a fool!"

"That's not necessarily, isn't that one over there a fool!"

Shen Mengxi and Li Yiping looked in the direction of Zhao Jinsong's mouth, it turned out to be China Film Haitui Company...

The receptionist was looking at his phone while impatiently chatting with a spectacle vendor, not knowing what he was talking about, and the latter left the booth with a red face in anger...

This attitude!

Do you like to buy it or not, don't delay Lao Tzu to swipe your mobile phone!

Awesome!
