Chapter 303: Recommendations (4/5)

The cost of "Latent" is $1.5 million, which is considered to be Wen Ziren's proof of his own gadget.

After "Saw Horror", Wen Ziren quickly won an olive branch from a blockbuster studio after becoming famous, and both Universal and 20th Century Fox offered him invitations, and he took over the work, choosing two new projects to direct.

One is "Dead Silence", which is also a horror film.

The film was invested by Universal and cost 20 million, and it was the first time that Wen Ziren had so much money to make a movie.

The other is "Death Verdict", a noir action film about an honest middle-aged man who takes bloody revenge on his innocent dead son.

Then, both plays made him mess up!

I messed up two plays, what should I do?

He tried his hand at crossover, making short films for the video game Dead Space.

But what next?

Dream Creek approached him to direct "Human Removal Project 2", with a cost of 8 million, a box office of $93 million in North America and $140 million worldwide...

But this was not his own project, so there was "Latent"...

To be honest, when David allocated money to her, he never thought that "Latent" would be successful, $1.5 million.

Where in the world are there so many "Saw Horror"?

The film is complete...

Fox decided to release...

To briefly introduce it, Fox did not perform well in this year's summer file, and "Wolverine", as the first blockbuster in the summer file, was slightly mediocre and was overtaken by "Star Trek" released in the second week;

Paramount has "Transformers 2", which grossed $400 million at the box office;

Warner Bros.'s "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" grossed more than $300 million;

Disney has "Flying House"...

Sony bets on Sandra Bullock's "Fake It Comes True" and "District 9", with the former trading 40 million for 164 million and the latter $30 million in cost for $90 million;

Of course, the worst is Universal, the only unlucky guy in the summer file, and the main films such as "Public Enemy of the People", "Funny Characters", "The Lost Continent" and "Into Hell" are all dumb fires.

Fox's ace project "Museum Adventures 2" failed to continue the big bang of the first part - it won a fabulous result of 250 million with a 30 million premiere in the Christmas stall that year!

Then release a few more, "Latent" and "Ip Man 2" are all arranged...

"Ip Man 2", let them bid $35 million to buy out the overseas rights, which is not a small amount of money, and arranged for 2,800 theaters to open the film.

The overseas share of the first part of "Ip Man" is almost 30 million US dollars, so the second part is priced at 35 million US dollars, Shen Mengxi hesitated for a moment and agreed...

Mainly, this money Fox can be paid in a lump sum!

The account distribution of "Ip Man" lasted intermittently for a year before it arrived...

First weekend results... $12 million.

It is basically unrealistic to expect the North American box office to recoup its costs.

They were originally going for the global box office...

However, "Latent" exploded!

18 million in the opening weekend...

......

Shen Mengxi is also very happy, the project "Latent" is a gold mine that can be further developed...

"Let's make an announcement..."

"Is "Ip Man 2" also released?"

“... What's the matter? "Ip Man 2" doesn't perform well in other places overseas?"

Zhao Jinsong shook his head: "The performance is similar to the previous one, the total overseas results, close to 35 million US dollars in the first weekend..."

"Then announce it!"

"But our overseas rights were only sold for $35 million..."

"Borrowing a boat to go to sea, it's all borrowing a boat... Who let us not have our own distribution channels!"

"How can the distribution channel be so easy to build..."

Shen Mengxi: "It's over throwing money..."

"Do we have that much money?"

After pulling the egg for a while, Shen Mengxi remembered that the fat man was still waiting for him somewhere...

......

After going back to his hometown for a year, the fat man feels that the whole person is about to be wasted!

It's so comfortable...

Li Yunlong once said: People can't be too comfortable, if they are comfortable for a long time, they are prone to accidents!

So, he decided to start a second business!

But what can be done?

Smash a theater to play?

It's too low, it's a money game, and there's no technology at all!

Don't do it!

Do you want to be a film and television company again?

He was sick, so he left Mingxi behind...

The troubles of the rich second generation - how to spend money!

Or how can you prove yourself?

This kind of thing is not good to say to Nan Nan, after all, she is a first-time mother, and she is now busy nursing her baby...

Then come to Shen Mengxi!

Moreover, he knew that Shen Mengxi should be quite annoying!

Zhou Yang and Liu Yifei's affairs, even if he didn't want to know, Nan Nan would occasionally complain about a sentence or two, and when the official announcement was made, Nan Nan often complained about Liu Yifei:

'I really didn't expect Qianqian to hook up with Mengxi!'

'I really don't understand, what kind of person Mengxi is, doesn't she know?'

That's right, as Zhou Yang's best friend, she is standing on Zhou Yang.

I can't blame her for this, the main thing is that Shen Mengxi's college life is too profligate...

The prodigal son turned around and didn't change this kind of thing, she didn't believe it would happen to Shen Mengxi!

However, recently, Sister Nan's position has obviously shifted towards Liu Yifei...

The reason is very simple, she can see that Zhou Yang is a little deliberately taking advantage of this news to get to the top, and the media is overwhelming...

She has done brokerage business and knows that this is Chiguoguo's hot behavior!

It's obviously just a private matter, but if you expose it, it's not as simple as a private matter, and you have to use the hype, the drama is a bit too much...

......

Sure enough, after meeting, Chen Liming immediately asked Shen Mengxi about Zhou Yang and Liu Yifei.

Shen Mengxi looked at him, and then said, "My grandmother is now in her nineties, she is still in good health, and she is not sick, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"My grandma was never nosy!"

The fat man raised his hand in surrender: "My fault!"

Shen Mengxi returned to his normal tone: "I'll take care of it, you don't care about me!"

"Also, you're a master of time management, I remember on Sophomore Valentine's Day, you dated three girls a day!"

“... That's because they don't know they exist with each other... Why are you talking about this, the heroes don't mention the courage of the year!"

Shen Mengxi looked at the surrounding decorations, and the waitress who poured the tea nodded, and then asked the fat man, "What kind of place is this?"

"My sister's club!"

“... Only to drink tea?"

"This is a vegetarian shop, you have Liu Yifei, and you are still eating game outside?

Shen Mengxi was speechless: "... No, I mean there's nothing to eat, I'm a little hungry!

Chen Liming scratched his head: "I really don't know this, I'll help you ask!"

I called the waiter, asked, and learned that there was really food available...

That's easy to do, eat and chat!

"What kind of project?

"I'll tell you that it's the right time to do group buying, it's called Meituan!"

"Is there a future for group buying?"

"Of course there is a future, you think, there are two kinds of Internet marketing models, the first is the web portal, the profit model is advertising, the target customers are large enterprises that can place expensive advertisements; the second is the search engine, serving small and medium-sized enterprises, tens of thousands of dollars can buy keywords for advertising. ”

"Is there a third type?"

"The third type?"

"Local small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have the financial strength to advertise on portals and search engines, but have always had promotion needs, such as catering, entertainment and hotels..."

"Your target customers are like this, you can get three discounts, two discounts, or even less than one discount at the merchant, consumers buy on Meituan, Meituan returns Meituan coupons to consumers, and after consumers consume, merchants take Meituan coupons to Meituan to checkout. ”

"In essence, group buying helps merchants promote, and part of the advertising costs saved are given to consumers, part of them become the profits of merchants, and the rest is the interests of the website itself. ”

Chen Liming savored this plan, and felt more and more feasible...

But he still hesitated: "Why don't you do it yourself?"

"How can I have the time and energy? You do it, I'll invest in an angel round, accounting for 30% of the shares..."
