Chapter 168: The Most Beautiful Leading Party
In the early hours of the morning, Ximen Xiong called again to report the latest box office results, "Moving Maze" was 150 million yen yesterday, 20 million more than the previous day.
"Bad Boy's Sky" still follows, but the box office gap has widened, and there is a danger of being overtaken by "Dragon Ball".
Japanese publishers also have obsessive-compulsive disorder, do they have to collect statistics and report at 3 a.m. every day?
Ximenxiong stared at the distribution and screening work day and night, hard and excited: "The distributor estimates that the final box office will be between 15 and 1.6 billion yen, which is quite good!"
If it can really reach the box office of 1.5 billion, according to the contract, the producer's income is equivalent to almost 40 million yuan, and "Moving Labyrinth" will basically protect the capital.
However, without a large part of the North American market, the final profit may be difficult to match with "Taiping", so the necessity of Su Changqing's hard work to win the award is further highlighted.
When Ximen Xiong called, Su Changqing had not rested, and had been revising the story outline of "The Undertaker" and "The Thief Family".
The day after tomorrow, he will go to South Korea to publicize, and it is best to finalize the cooperation with Ken Takakura and Takeshi Kitano in person, and let the family know the story first.
Ken Takakura's gift was a watch, a Vacheron Constantin tourbillon men's watch, worth a lot of money, Harumi Harumi Harumi Harumi said at least hundreds of thousands.
Looking at the cross mark on the shell white dial, Su Changqing was really a little surprised.
When the two met for the first time, Ken Takakura's hand was too big, surpassing ordinary human contacts, and he was ashamed of it.
This is the second time Su Changqing has received a watch, the first time was given by Ximen Xiong's sister Ximen Ying, who was short of money and sold it at that time.
Ximen Ying is paying in disguise, not really giving gifts, and Su Changqing has no interests with Takakura Ken.
This made him very uneasy, and he wondered how to return the gift, but Harumi Harumi Hachiman stopped: "The significance of the watch itself from Takakura-senpai is far greater than the monetary value, and it is offensive to deliberately return the gift." ”
Then I had to choose an unintentional way, in order to repay the love of my predecessors, Su Changqing hurried to do something serious while being low-level and interesting, and asked Harumi Harumi Harumi Harumi to help make an outline together.
After all, his Japanese is a surprise study, he can cope with daily conversations, and he is still a little hot when he writes something of a high level, and Harumi Harumi Harumi Harumi has to help grasp the grammar and choice of words, and a reporter should be familiar with this.
However, Su Changqing doubts whether she is still a reporter of the Red Flag Daily, and previously claimed that she would give up her acting career, which should be met by the family, so it is unlikely that her family will still let her retain a more sensitive identity of the Japanese Communist Party.
The battle game of a large family is no different from that of a small family, and most of it is related to property, which is really hard to ask.
It was early in the morning when the synopsis of the two films were ready, and Harumi Hachiman asked a question: "I can sense the ambition of Evergreen Jun, if you want to gradually expand beyond China, how will you operate locally?"
Su Changqing understood what she meant, and when Hollywood films entered the mainland market, its six major film and television companies immediately set up companies in China to facilitate the development of localized business.
Siwei will also face such a situation, if Su Changqing starts filming "The Undertaker", what name will it be produced in the future?
If it is produced in the name of Siwei Film and Television Company, it will have to be filed and reviewed by radio and television, and it will also be a Chinese film when it is distributed to the outside world.
This is not a good model, at least Hollywood's attempts in this area have not been very successful, such as "Memoirs of a Geisha", which was directly produced by Columbia, but was questioned from head to toe for misinterpreting Oriental culture and painting tigers instead of anti-dogs.
There are many successful cases, such as "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", "One Step Away" and "Megalodon", etc., are all Hollywood investments, and the most successful first launch of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has achieved a box office performance of 2 billion yuan.
The operation behind the film is Universal Pictures Hollywood, which is a remake of its 1985 work "The Winemaker's Million Windfall".
The success of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" lies in the fact that Chinese companies have come forward to lead the project, and the main creators are very down-to-earth, and there is no connection with Hollywood at all on the surface.
"You're suggesting that I open a branch office in Japan?"
Harumi Harumi Hachiman shook her head: "That's the way entrepreneurs do, and it takes a long way to get the business going. ”
That's right, if "The Undertaker" enters the preparations, the establishment of a company that is far away from quenching the thirst of the near will not play much role.
A movie needs a large number of actors and crew, and it is unrealistic to transfer all of them from the mainland, and they may not be able to recruit satisfactory ones temporarily.
"Then the only way to buy the right film and television company is to buy it, what do you suggest?"
"Many industries in Japan have been solidified, and it is difficult for new companies to gain a foothold, such as Kanno Performing Arts, which I signed with before, although it is not large, but it has been established for more than 50 years and has a wide range of businesses.
The current president, Takeo Kanno, is the third generation of the heir, a mediocre and incompetent person, lacking leadership, and the development of the entertainment company is getting worse, if you are interested in entering the Japanese market, the acquisition of Kanno is a good choice. ”
This should be the most beautiful leading party in history, Harumi Harumi Harumi Harumi should have quickly terminated the contract with Kanno, and now she will turn around and sell it to her lover.
Su Changqing didn't know much about Kanno Performing Arts, he only knew that this was an old medium-sized film and television company, and "Moving Labyrinth" couldn't control costs and couldn't cooperate with large companies, so he finally chose it.
The acquisition of an existing company is undoubtedly a shortcut, but now that the cooperation project has not been implemented, and the understanding of Kanno is not enough, it cannot be decided blindly, and people have to agree to sell.
In addition, we have to consider the issue of strength, how much does it cost to acquire such a Japanese company?
Su Changqing was very cautious: "Let's contact Takakura, Kitano seniors and Kanno Performing Arts at the same time, if the projects of "The Undertaker" and "Thief Family" go smoothly, then the acquisition should be accelerated quickly, otherwise don't rush in." ”
Harumi Harumi Harumi agreed: "Then I'll talk to President Jimmu about my intentions first, if I really want to buy it, it's also a cumbersome thing." ”
Saying that, she let out a long sigh: "These two days have been really difficult, I lost my job after the movie was released, and now I finally have something to do." ”
The eldest lady, who has only been unemployed for two days, doesn't know where the difficulty is.
Su Changqing had to ask: "Your family doesn't agree with your acting career, is it appropriate to continue to get involved in the film and television industry in the future?"
Harumi Harumi Harumi looked at Su Changqing for a long time, and finally said: "I know you will have some guesses, but this is a boring story, let's tell you later, in short, don't worry about me, you will not be happy." ”
The logic of the Japanese is really different from that of the Chinese, since this is the case, I don't ask, in fact, Su Changqing is more curious about what kind of contract she has with God, and actually pulled him down to Izu Shrine to do that kind of thing.
If you had chosen to go to Hakone, would the story have been different?
There's no curse in her contract, right?
I've watched too many Japanese movies, and this one is really a little scary.
After dawn, Harumi Hachiman was in charge of contacting Takeshi Kitano and Ken Takakura to send the synopsis of the two films.
Stories without copyright registration shouldn't have been leaked in the first place, but both of them are masters and there's no need to worry too much.
Su Changqing was about to go to South Korea, and Harumi Harumi Harumi Hachiman was a little reluctant: "I may be more urgent than you to promote cooperation." ”
Is this a confession?
