At the cocktail party, in the salon area, Shen Mengxi, Li Yiping, and Ye Weixin accompanied several big businessmen to talk nonsense.

According to the established strategy, first get "Ip Man", and then talk about "Painted Skin"...

The genre of "Ip Man" guarantees the market for the film itself!

"Bruce Lee, you know. ”

A few white people nodded, and Shen Mengxi said, "Ye Man, it's Bruce Lee's master!"

"Our story is based on "Jingwumen", "Wong Fei Hung"... The starring role is Donnie Yen, the previous "Iron Horse", which sold for $16 million!"

McKana, the head of Twentieth Century Fox, asked: "... Is it a costume show?"

"Republic of China Opera..."

She added: "I just watched the film, and I feel that the fight is not very intense, and there is no sense of compulsion like "Raid"... In recent years, Chinese-language action movies are no longer as popular as before, and the box office of "Huo Yuanjia" and "The King of Kung Fu" is not a success..."

Li Yiping interjected: "But DVD sales have been very stable, isn't the North American DVD revenue of "Huo Yuanjia" already broken 40 million US dollars...The DVD revenue of "Ranger" has even reached 70 million US dollars, these data will not deceive!"

"Kung fu films have always been a representative genre of Chinese films, and I can guarantee that "Ip Man" will be made more than once, and our plan is a trilogy, and there may be a finale..."

McKana seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said, "... Well, you've managed to impress me, and we'll give you the distribution rights!"

"What do you think?"

After getting the North American market, Shen Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the others...

McKana interjected: "... Wait a minute, aren't we talking about global distribution rights?"

"Global?"

"We help with the issuance, and we draw a certain percentage of the issuance... Twentieth Century Fox's distribution network is enough to cover the whole world, and I don't think it's necessary to go on!"

That's right, it's very domineering!

But she's telling the truth...

However, in the subsequent "Painted Skin", her attitude is obviously not as strong as before...

is similar to Shen Mengxi's prediction, the sales of "Painted Skin" are almost concentrated in Southeast Asian countries, MK2 twisted and won the distribution rights in France, and the price is not high...

Thanks to "Painted Skin", a 10-minute film and nearly 30 minutes of film, many people at the scene were impressed...

Diego Halabi, a pan-Latin American film distribution company, and RCV, a Canadian distribution company, are interested in buying, but the price is a bit low...

The rest is not their involvement, and the negotiators leave everything to the negotiators.

......

In the corner of the reception, Li Yiping found Shen Mengxi and said in a low voice: "McKanna proposed two plans, one is to buy out the overseas distribution of "Ip Man" for $15 million..."

"15 million... We can divide 60%, that's 9 million... What about the second option?"

"They help with the issuance, charging a 30% issuance fee..."

"The second one!"

Li Yiping disagreed: "Hollywood is not a good person, if they make false accounts, what should we do?"

Shen Mengxi smiled: "You think too much, I still have to cooperate with them in "Moving Maze", and there are two big projects in my hands, "Divergent" and "The Hunger Games", they won't do so much for the time being!"

“... Then why don't they contact you directly?"

"I mentioned "Painted Skin" before, and they don't seem to be interested, "Ip Man"... I forgot!"

Li Yiping left speechlessly, Shen Mengxi took the wine glass, found the lobster, sandwiched a piece and put it on the plate, only then did he want to put down the wine glass and take a bite, and Jiang Nan walked over to him: "Why are you so leisurely?"

“... When you're hungry, do you want to eat something, also called leisurely?"

"Aren't you talking to someone at the salon about buying and selling copyrights?"

"That's pretty much it... You still care about your artist..."

Shen Mengxi pouted in the direction of Zhao Liying and the three of them - the three of them were surrounding the barbecue chef, and the freshly fried octopus was immediately snatched away...

As I walked, I was babbling...

Haven't eaten?

This is Cannes!

Really, it's a shame to be thrown into France...

Jiang Nan's face turned blue, and then he hypnotized himself: "I don't know them..."

Having said that, she walked over and tried to teach them what table manners were!

Shen Mengxi looked at the three of them with their heads down, trying to make quail shapes, and couldn't help but smile...

"Dream Creek!"

Shen Mengxi turned his head, it was actually Xu Renhou!

When you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, you feel good as a thief!

“... Why are you here too?"

"The company sent me here, mainly responsible for the sale of the rights to "Three Guys"..."

"Three guys?"

""Good Guys, Bad Guys, Strange Guys", starring Song Kang-ho, Jung Woo-sung and Lee Byung-hun..."

“... How's it selling?"

"Not bad, barely accomplished the goal..."

Speaking of this, Xu Renhou seemed to think of something: "Tomorrow night, we will hold a Xijie Movie Night, and you must come then!"

"Tomorrow night..."

Shen Mengxi's expression was a little embarrassed...

"What's wrong?"

"We're going to leave tomorrow afternoon..."

"In such a hurry?"

"We're just selling films..."

Unlike Cielgy, Cielge came to Cannes to buy some in addition to selling films, so they should wait until Cannes closes...

By the way, it seems that this Cannes, Zheng Yusheng, one of the leading actors of "Three Guys", met Lao Wu, and after two years, he found the latter to star in "Rain of Swords"...

......

On the morning of the 18th, Shen Mengxi was packing and preparing to return to China, and Li Yiping walked in excitedly: "You're right, now the whole world is in a money shortage, and "Painted Skin" has picked up a bargain!"

"How much did it sell?"

"11 million US dollars, plus the rights of Japan and South Korea, a total of 15 million!"

“... So high?"

The reason is very simple, it is nothing more than the global economic crisis, but the audience's demand for the film has not decreased, the quality of "Painted Skin" is here, the copyright fee is relatively cheap, and the risk of the buyer is also very small.

For example, on the Norwegian side, 100,000 US dollars bought the distribution rights of the country, which seems very small, but it can't stand many European countries, and there are only five countries in Northern Europe, plus a piece sold for 600,000 yuan - Denmark is a little more generous, 200,000 US dollars...

Zero zero total plus one piece, the cost has been recovered!

Of course, after deducting the cost of Cannes this time, there is still a little loss...

Shen Mengxi listened while stuffing things into his suitcase, this time, he bought a lot of souvenirs and prepared them to give to the employees of the studio, so they were used as gifts.

Li Yiping struggled for a moment, and then asked, "... Boss, are we really not going to "Red Cliff" to help support the field?"

“... If I don't go, I won't deal with Wu Baige... Go back and get ready, "Ip Man" will be released in August!"

"After all, Warren Buffett Zhao is over there..."Ip Man" is going to be released in August?"

"I looked at the film schedule, and there were four movies scheduled in August this year, and "The Incredible Hulk" was still released on August 29, such a good schedule, it can't be wasted!"

"Where's the Olympics?

"I'm measured..."After a pause, Shen Mengxi changed the topic: "Indeed, we just returned to China like this, which is a bit inauthentic, and the film in "Red Cliff" also participated... In this way, you stay, represent us, and accompany Zhou Xun by the way, I feel that in the past few days, she is not in the right state!"

“... Shall I stay?"

"You can't let Lao Zhao stay, right?"
