Chapter 166 The mouth of the capitalist, the ghost of deception

"Mr. Song, do you want to act as an agent for the overseas distribution of my previous four films?"

Listening to Song Ge finish his thoughts, Li Qian was also surprised.

Originally, I thought it was just for "The Moon", but I didn't expect to want four movies directly, including "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Jaws", two online universities, as well as "Jaws: Revenge" and "127 Hours", a total of six movies.

Of course, whether it is Song Ge or Du Yang, or Perfect Time and Space Culture, which has just been established for less than half a year, they do not have the ability to distribute overseas theaters and DVDs.

Song Ge meant that he wanted Li Qian to authorize him, and they would negotiate with overseas distributors, and finally collect a commission, the specific amount of which would depend on the situation at that time.

This makes Li Qian a little baffled, in fact, these movies are not very in line with the tastes of overseas filmmakers, they usually like costume productions, like some genres that are not available in the West, and make the audience feel novel and interesting genres.

And these movies, the same genre Hollywood is not lacking at all.

Not to mention that there are two big nets, which can't be released in theaters.

So, Li Qian asked, "So Mr. Song, do you plan to release DVDs directly?"

The two movies "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Jaws" are the standards of online movies, and it is obviously unrealistic to go to theaters, especially the latter, the more than one million special effects can be seen on the computer, but they can't be watched on the big screen.

Song Ge explained, "These movies all have a very strong suspense factor, I think the main goal should be on streaming media, and the distribution of DVDs, after all, Hollywood's DVD revenue accounts for a large aspect, and the box office of the two movies "The Moon" and "Frequency of Life and Death" exceeds 300 million, there should be overseas filmmakers interested, if Director Li trusts us, authorize us to negotiate with overseas filmmakers, and will definitely give Director Li a satisfactory price." ”

"In this regard, Mr. Du has been in contact with Huayang Media, Columbia, Warner, Universal, and some European film companies in the past, and is well versed in overseas distribution and marketing strategies, so he will not disappoint Director Li. ”

"Mr. Du single-handedly discovered "Ke Ke Xili" and sold it to various European countries, and I naturally believe in the ability. ”

Li Qian nodded, and then said, "But after the failure of many domestic blockbusters in the overseas market, the enthusiasm of overseas film dealers for Chinese films has decreased a lot, especially in Colombia, which has said in public that they will no longer believe in Chinese movies, how can you make overseas film companies willing to believe in my films, which can bring them benefits, after all, there is no familiar actor in the West, and they are all genres that are not lacking in Hollywood." ”

Du Yang said with a smile, "Director Li, in fact, don't look at these overseas film companies are shy away from Chinese films, but they have not completely given up the development of Chinese films, especially Colombia, which has the worst losses." ”

"How?"

Li Qian became interested.

Colombia is the first company to get involved in the overseas distribution of domestic commercial films, and the movie "Big Names" was Colombia that took the initiative to talk to Ma Xiaogang and Huayang.

In the 90s, overseas copyrights were generally bought out, and Huang Zhongjun had ambitions to share globally and not buy out.

As a result, more than 1,000 dollars in the first week in North America, I don't know if the box office is enough to copy, and Huayang basically has no income overseas.

failed once, and Colombia did not give up, especially the red Migmaras bought out the overseas copyright of "Hero", and cooperated with Huayang in "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".

With the lesson of "Big Names", this time Huang Zhongjun learned well, Huayang made a lot of money, and Colombia lost blood.

People say that there are only three things, and if you fall twice in the same place, how can Colombia be stupid.

Du Yang did not sell it, and continued, "It is true that Colombia has lost money, but often the more money is lost, the more it wants to make back the money it has lost.

Moreover, Colombia is negotiating the investment and overseas distribution of Jiang Wen's new film "Let the Bullets Fly", and the comedy film "Jump Out" produced by Zhou Xingchi has been confirmed to invest. ”

Zhou Xingchi has been working with Columbia, which is not surprising, but Jiang Wen's new movie ......

Li Qian doesn't know what to say, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" has only been a few years ago, and it is also starring Jiang Wen.

As for the truth or falsehood, it is not difficult to know that Tong Liya's brokerage company Happy Blue Ocean, and Jiangning Radio and Television behind it also invested in "Let the Bullets Fly", and it will be clear if you ask.

But after thinking about it, it is not impossible, just like the gamblers at the table, the more many people lose money, the more they refuse to leave the table, they want to win back the lost money, thinking that they will not gamble anymore.

Unless you lose, you have to leave.

Capitalists want to say that they are sensible, but it is possible to go crazy without brains.

Now that the other party is prepared, Li Qian doesn't mind giving them a chance, anyway, he just negotiates with overseas filmmakers on his behalf, and in the end he has to decide for himself.

And it's not their exclusive agent, if there are other overseas channels, there are more choices.

"Since Mr. Song and Mr. Du are so confident, then I will entrust the two of them to negotiate with overseas film companies for me, other films have been launched on major video websites, and resources are available, and tomorrow I will ask people to send a copy of the film copy and digital copy of "Moon" to Mr. Song. ”

Li Qian got up, shook hands with Song Ge and Du Yang, and initially reached an intention.

As for the copy handed over to them, it doesn't matter, there are already pirated copies on the Internet, but they haven't spread on a large scale yet, and it is estimated that it will only be these two days.

Piracy can't be prevented, this is a huge industrial chain involving both domestic and foreign countries, just like some well-known royal color websites, don't you know that the anti-pornography sweep is not done, some just can't be knocked out.

At the end of the year, China Mobile took measures to completely disconnect 626 royal website servers from the IDC computer room, of which 76% of the website servers were abroad.

For this reason, Mobile lost 0.2% of its traffic revenue, won word of mouth, and attracted angry scolding from netizens.

But there's still no way to prohibit it.,There's still a lot of royal color websites that are good.。

Piracy is still an unsolvable problem in China, and piracy is also rampant in Hollywood, but audiences there are used to going to the cinema to watch movies.

As for fines, there were, with the largest number of individuals who ordered 24 pirated songs and were fined $1.9 million.

However, heavy fines are very rare cases, and those prosecuted are very rare, and most of them are warnings.

Piracy can't be solved, but as long as the audience is cultivated to go to the cinema, the standard of living will come up, and it will gradually and naturally improve.

"Thank you Director Li for being willing to believe in us and give us this opportunity. ”

Song Ge also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was new to the film industry, even though the market value of Perfect Time and Space reached one billion US dollars, and the game industry was full of money... The profitability is still relatively good, but the most critical thing in the film industry is the product.

If you want to sell a movie to the audience, you must first have a good movie, otherwise it will be for nothing.

Being able to cooperate with Li Qian, a director with a box office of more than 200 million, can be regarded as a little relationship, and there is also the possibility of more in-depth cooperation in the future.

Song Ge shook hands with Li Qian heavily and said with a smile, "But Director Li, you also know that the current market price may not be too high, but if it is successfully issued overseas this time, it will also lay the foundation for long-term cooperation in the future." ”

"Then it's a problem for both of you. ”

Li Qian smiled and sent them out.

Hehe.

At the beginning, he said that the price would definitely satisfy Li Qian, but when he was finished, he said that the price would not be high, laying the foundation for the overseas distribution of the film in the future.

Just like many students who have just left school for internships and jobs, employers often say that young people should not pay so much attention to salary at first, and this time is mainly to accumulate experience.

And I will ask you rhetorically, at this time, the light-skinned students must also follow the other party's words, saying that they do not care about the salary, but hope to learn things and increase experience.

The mouth of the capitalist, the deceitful ghost.

Let them go to negotiate with overseas films on their behalf, and forget what they said at the beginning.

also has a long-term cooperation, a high-level student of Qinghua thermal engineering, who came to work in the film industry, and his major is not right.

Of course, if you really help Li Qian negotiate a good price, you don't mind continuing to cooperate.

Being disturbed like this, there is not much time to rest.

After sleeping for three hours, I was woken up by the alarm clock again, watched the news, and when the time was almost up, I went out and went to the place of the press conference.

The celebration press conference, just that set of processes, there is nothing new.

The big screen scrolls through the filming highlights of the movie, shooting from morning to early morning, and at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I am still watching the freshly washed out samples, showing the hard work of the crew.

Then there are some highlights of the movie, I made it so hard, the movie was so exciting, and I got such a high box office, it was not a matter of course.

There were also premieres, zero point screenings, and the enthusiastic response of audiences in some movie theaters. The pomp and circumstance of the queues at the prime-time cinema on weekend nights.

Although there are group buying cinemas on the Internet now, the vast majority of viewers buy them on the spot, and queuing up to buy tickets can still be seen occasionally in the summer and Chinese New Year stalls.

However, this situation should not last for a few years, Li Qian remembers that there are some film and television dramas in his mind, a full-screen mobile phone bigger than a palm, everything can be done on the mobile phone, and there is no need to make a call, just log in to a software.

Technology is becoming more and more developed, and it is estimated that there will be no need to queue for train tickets in the future, and the annual queuing event of the Spring Festival is gone.

I also talked about the filming of the movie and the mental journey after the release.

With the tidbits on the screen, Huang Bo also said some torture and emotion of one person playing two roles.

Finally, at the press conference, reporters must be interviewed, otherwise why invite them to come.

"Hello Director Li, "Moon" is your second personal theatrical movie, and the box office has exceeded 200 million, how do you feel now?"

The reporter arranged by Guangxian, very good question.

"Of course, I am happy, excited, and relieved, at least the film I made with time and effort has been recognized by the audience, and for me, satisfying the audience is the most important thing......

There are a lot of balabala, it doesn't cost brain cells at all, if only the reporters were so harmonious.

"Mei Lanfang" suffered a box office fiasco of "Moon", what does Director Li say of this film directed by Cheng Kaige?"

"The box office of "Moon" is currently the sum of the box office of all movies released in the past month, and the box office of the new films of Chen Kaige and Xu Ke is less than half of that of "Moon".

Beyond Nima.

There is no nutritious problem all day long, talk about life, talk about how good it is, and sow discord at every turn.

People didn't mess with themselves, Li Qian was full and went to find trouble.

These media want to hype up the duel between Li Qian and Cheng Kaige, but they don't look at who Cheng Kaige is, where he is the same as Ma Xiaogang, and it will have an effect if he stimulates him twice.

Cheng Kaige is a literati, he doesn't leak a drop in his speech, he doesn't give the media a chance, and Li Qian won't take the initiative to find trouble, so these reporters can only make things up.

However, not to mention, the media is really awesome, and the rhythm is brought to Ma Xiaogang.

I watched the news in the room before, and a well-known media person said that because of the poor box office of "Mei Lanfang", there are always some people who take the opportunity to belittle or even slander Cheng Kaige, which is extremely improper and immoral.

He said that Cheng Kaige is a great director he respects and admires, and he is a very cultivated person, like an elder, giving people a fatherly feeling.

Steady, deep, solemn, a hand, a throw, always so elegant, dignified.

is not like some directors, who are angry, like second-rate people and hooligans.

Although he did not name him, a discerning person knew at a glance that the second-rate director here was talking about Ma Xiaogang.

As soon as you look at this news, you know that it is professional.

Ma Xiaogang was watching the play on the side, and it was so difficult to pull him in before the movie was released.

The house next door collapsed, and I went to see the excitement, but there was a bang, and there was a loud noise behind me, and my house was bulldozed.

Adhering to the principle of not taking the initiative to find trouble, Li Qianli ignored similar problems.

Don't ask, ask is to thank the audience and media friends for their support.

After the noisy celebration press conference, he moved to the banquet hall next door.

The 200 million box office celebration banquet, all the heads and faces in the circle arrived, and Han Sanping was also surrounded by some people and became the center of the scene.

In addition to the government, the most powerful person in the film industry has half of the country's theater resources in his hands, and he is a proper big man.

"Hello Han Dong. ”

Li Qian stepped forward quickly and said hello respectfully, but he didn't call the third master like many people.

It's all a group of sycophants who are sloppy and slapping horses, and the new society is not a master.
