Shen Mengxi's idea of playing "Avatar" is not a day or two!

But he knows that direct investment is no fun!

Even if he is allowed to invest, he will give a maximum of 20% of the income - it is better to buy a house and stock up.

China Film's buyout of "Moving Maze 2" gave him a hint - we can also buy out the copyright!

If you weren't a time-traveler, who would have known that "Avatar" had set off a global movie-watching frenzy?

Can it win a box office result of 1.306 billion in China?

You must know that in 09, the box office of China's box office champion "2012" was only 466 million, and "Avatar" was released the next year, which actually tripled the data!

Cameron is a brute...

Global box office, North American dividends, Shen Mengxi can not be wool, the box office in China, why not?

"We watched the clip and felt that "Avatar" has the potential to break a billion dollars in the world!"

it...

Aren't you stupid...

"I'm talking about the box office in China!"

“... It should be able to get $100 million..."

A hundred million dollars...

Who gave you courage to step on a horse?

Shen Mengxi rolled his eyes, he originally wanted to say that he would buy out the domestic rights and interests of "Avatar" for $15 million...

You're expecting $100 million...

What a?

"We have studied the Chinese market, and your audience is very picky about directors and sci-fi films, Cameron's appeal plus the quality of "Avatar" itself..."

"However, "Transformers", the highest-grossing Hollywood imported film in recent years, has a box office of only 280 million, which is only $37.23 million when converted into US dollars, you are too optimistic!"

"Shen, if you want to invest in "Avatar", please show sincerity!"

Shen Mengxi was a little speechless and choked...

How can he be sincere?

In fact, buying out the copyright of "Avatar" is a huge bug in itself - because "Avatar" will definitely be on the list of imported films.

Introductory films can't be made into batches!

"The copyright to the Divergent series!"

Shen Mengxi thought thoughtfully: "What do you mean that I will hand over the adaptation rights of "Divergent" to Fox, and Fox will agree to my investment in "Avatar"?"

“... That's right!"

......

"Divergent", like "Moving Maze" and "The Hunger Games", is a dystopian sci-fi action series!

The Divergent is divided into five factions – "friendly", "honest", "erudite", "fearless" and "selfless" – all of whom have distinct styles of doing things, each performing their own role in the city, and being independent of each other.

At the age of 16, each person chooses which faction they will choose in the future, and a test is organized to test which faction they fit into.

So for choosing a faction, it is a person who chooses what kind of life they want to live.

Only these five types of people can have a good life, and if they fail to meet the standards of these five types of people, they will become non-factional, and if they are labeled as "non-factional", it will be worse than death.

The selfless, selfless service to all factions, is the faction that holds the ruling power in the plot setting.

The heroine of the story and one of her older brothers were born in such a family, a family of servants of the people and civil servants.

Under the influence of such an environment, my brother is naturally accustomed to selflessly helping others, but the heroine is not so comfortable with this, she will hesitate, she will think a lot, and she will think why.

She is a divergent.

The so-called divergent is someone who can think for himself!

It's not difficult to guess the plot later, the heroine upgraded all the way, and finally announced: Human beings are divided into 369 and so on, which in itself is meaningless, and anyone's existence will have his shining points and shortcomings, and there is no so-called pure person...

The basic setting of the dystopia of the United States: it is the end of the world, and human beings in the future have made strange settings, and the plot is to see how the protagonist subverts this setting.

It's normal for Fox to take a fancy to this series, after the big hit of "Moving Maze", the adaptation rights of "Divergent" have become sweet, following the global offer of 20 million US dollars, Sony directly increased the price to 26 million US dollars + 25% of the account!

Shen Mengxi...

has been waiting for the price to sell, and the sales of "Divergent" are even higher than that of "Moving Maze".

But the series is messed up!

Because the direction of this plot is actually from dystopia to reality - there is the appearance of the heroine, there is resistance, there is struggle, there is betrayal, there is emotion, and there is also the opportunity to shape the real human world, this is the real world.

You see, is this story filmed, is it good?

Of course, if cost control is in place, there is still a probability of profitability.

Now invest in Avatar with this thing as a condition...

Of course Shen Mengxi was willing.

He agreed, and the rest of the matter will be easy to handle, and David and Nancy will help negotiate the specific investment amount and so on.

......

"What is the maximum share we can invest in Avatar?"

“10%？”

“... That's it?"

“... OK, I voted, "Divergent" will be operated by Fox, this play, we don't follow... 20% of the account will do..."

Hanging up the phone, Shen Mengxi stretched out in satisfaction.

Okay, now that things are done, you can film with your heart.

It's time to show off Shen Yingdi's superb acting skills.

Of course, this is something to be done tomorrow, and now, it's rare to have time, brush up the news, take out my mobile phone, and check the evaluation of "Mobile Labyrinth"...

The evaluation is okay: a qualified teen movie, the rhythm is well controlled, such a sci-fi adventure story is told to a climax even if it is a little young, and there are several suspense layups that are quite similar to "Lost".

The advantage is that the suspense is not bad, and it also has a bit of game flavor, and you have to keep exploring to trigger new conditions and lead to new plot twists, which is very good!

Of course, there are also complaints: the appearance of Chinese in Hollywood movies always feels a little embarrassing...

Shen Mengxi is very angry with this kind of remark, what happened to Hollywood movies by Chinese actors?

It's like Yao Ming is playing in the NBA, and everyone shouts, 'Come back quickly, don't be embarrassed!'

Ma Dan, where is the shame of people?

All of them were selected based on their strength!

Da Tian Tian also has the ability to make money!

Liu Yifei saw him holding his mobile phone, and couldn't help asking, "... Why don't you read the script?"

"No, you don't!"

The script was written by Lao Tzu, read the script?

What are you doing, will Lao Tzu still forget the words?

Shen Mengxi is very confident in his acting skills - he is an actor who has played seven or eight roles in "Underground Traffic Station"!

"I haven't seen you act yet!"

“... It's all about talent, and for me, whether it's the main shot or the close-up, my performance is the same. Because I'm here to perform, to push the story forward, not to achieve my own sense of achievement!"

Actor Shen is full of confidence!

"Really, let's have a show!"

Liu Yifei was very interested, put down the script, and got up from the sofa.

“... There's no need, it's all about freshness..."

"Just accompany me to find a feeling!"
