Chapter 106 Speechless
Ambitions of Hong Kong filmmakers all want to enter the United States.
After all, North America is the world's number one entertainment market, so Zhu Wenhuai is a Hong Kong film tycoon!
Not only did it push Cheng Long into Hollywood, it also filmed many English films, among which "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" achieved a box office of US$130 million in the United States, breaking the box office record of Hollywood independent films!
Of course, this record was later surpassed by "Lord of the Rings"...
For Mao to enter North America?
Because the most deadly thing about Hong Kong movies is that the local market is too small, and it is difficult to support the huge film industry with only 7 million people in Hong Kong...
So, they are going north!
Relying on the huge market in the mainland to support Hong Kong movies...
But now, a huge opportunity is in front of you - participate in the investment and production of "Mobile Maze"...
I don’t know where I received the news, saying that “Mobile Maze” has sales exceeding “Harry Potter” and will be the next big IP…
As for "The Secret of the Three Kingdoms", Lao Yang has forgotten what the Three Kingdoms are now!
"…Boss Yang, let me be honest, "Mobile Maze" is just "Mobile Maze", which is different from "Harry Potter"..."
Even Harry Potter, it’s a loss on the books...
Shen Mengxi didn't want to cheat Lao Yang. After investing money, they could make a profit even if they could make a profit!
There are three things in this world that cannot be believed: the conscience of a capitalist, the chastity of a prostitute, and the righteousness of a traitor.
Moreover, "Mobile Maze" is not a super hit. The original time and space, the first one cost more than US$40 million, and the global box office was 360 million...
Compared to "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight" and so on, it's not enough to watch it.
Yang Shoucheng waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I just need to divide the accounts in Greater China, and I will participate in the maximum investment of 15%..."
Shen Mengxi was stunned at first. Fifteen percent, that's $6 million. Is the box office in Greater China enough to make a profit?
Then I thought that what people might care about is not the issue of recovering money, but raising the stock price and cutting the leeks!
Really, very calculating!
"Then I'll introduce the project leader to meet you. Dreamworks is short of funds recently..."
Shen Mengxi doesn't care. He only has a cooperative relationship with DreamWorks. Anyway, his account sharing is clearly signed in black and white.
By the way, "The Secret of the Three Kingdoms"?
Shen Mengxi asked decisively: "The Three Kingdoms..."
Yang Shoucheng didn't think about it: "You make the decision..."
“20%?”
"Can!"
“Don’t participate in casting?”
"...You are not talking about the white soldiers..."
"Oh, she can, I'll arrange a female number three..."
Old Yang glanced at Shen Mengxi and lowered his voice: "…White soldiers are in Beijing..."
Shen Mengxi quickly said, "No, she and I are fellow villagers..."
Damn, are you going to deliver the goods to your door again?
There have been a lot of Hong Kong seafood these days...
...
As soon as Lao Yang left, Liu Yifei came over again: "Are you the author of "The Maze Runner"?"
"Yes... don't say you're a book fan."
"I haven't read this book yet, I've just heard of it."
Shen Mengxi was very surprised: "Where did you hear it?"
"The North American bestseller list... This book has always been in the top five bestseller list. Later, it was reported that Spielberg bought the adaptation rights and served as the producer!"
Liu Yifei explained it very thoroughly.
Shen Mengxi nodded: "I said I didn't send much news in China, you'll know, so that's it."
"Then can you tell me what "Mobile Maze" is about?"
"The story of a group of people trapped in a maze and killing each other, and everyone was dead..."
Chen Mengxi's words are concise and concise...
The main reason is that Liu Yifei is a little close to him, and the perfume smell on his body makes him unnatural...
Quickly change the topic: "When will your next drama?"
Liu Yifei replied: "Martial Arts Liang Zhu..."
"Liang Zhu? Still martial arts?"
"Well, it's the work of director Ma Chucheng. Do you know "Starry Wishes"?"
"I know, Zhang Baizhi played it."
"The director told me that "Martial Arts and Blessings" is a martial arts version of "Star Words and Stars"..."
Chen Mengxi wanted to say something, but she still smiled and wished her blessing: "...Come on!"
What kind of martial arts version of "Star Word Wishes" is just "Sword Butterfly", and Lao Hu plays the villain.
This drama is a work invested by Huayi Brothers. Liu Yifei and Huayi Brothers immediately had a feud. How could you let you play the heroine?
“…When will you go back to Beijing?”
"tomorrow."
"So fast?"
"Lost in the Road" will be released in one week, so I have to go back and have a few interviews!"
This time, Liu Yifei was embarrassed. "Lost in the Road" was just the drama where she invited her to make a guest appearance and was rejected...
...
The whole banquet lasted to the extreme, and Chen Mengxi didn't know that he had handled the investment in "The Secret of the Three Kingdoms" and immediately returned to the hotel.
Except for Liu Yifei and Lao Yang, I didn’t communicate with anyone…
When he came out, no one stopped him. After all, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Chen Mengxi was just a trivial mainlander!
When he returned to the hotel, he immediately called Zhao Jinsong and asked him to prepare for the project "Three Kingdoms Secret"...
Emperor Yingying, Yingyi Entertainment, and Mengxi Studio, each invested 20% of the investment, and the remaining 20% of the investment is left to the TV series production center - this TV series must be on CCTV!
As for Yingyi Entertainment, Yu Weiguo had already changed his words and no longer talked about Liu Dehua's value, and honestly invested 20% - he saw that Chen Mengxi was not so superstitious about Hong Kong stars.
"By the way, find a few websites to reveal the news that "Mobile Maze" was adapted by DreamWorks. I must add a sentence that I am also a screenwriter of "Lost in the Road"..."
"Mobile Maze?"
"It's my new book, and the Chinese version will be available next month..."
Zhao Jinsong immediately asked: "Boss, give me more information, when did you write it? How much adaptation fee does DreamWorks spend, who is the director, and who is the starring..."
Chen Mengxi honestly replied: "I don't know whether the film and television adaptation fee is 5 million US dollars, director and starring..."
"That won't work, you have to provide some amazing content!"
“…Is it counting to be Spielberg as producer?”
"He..." Zhao Jinsong lowered his voice: "Spielberg has made some injustice recently..."
"ah?"
Is there such a thing?
"Some time ago, he resigned as an art consultant at the Beijing Olympics, on the grounds that he was dissatisfied with certain policies in China and called on everyone to boycott the Beijing Olympics..."
"Damn, the old man is very idle. Why don't you care about the human rights issues in the United States when you have time? I 't breathe!"
Chen Mengxi was speechless. Why did this happen at this time? So it’s unreliable for the Americans to be really a chicken?
“…What should I do now?”
"Let's change one, I'll ask David to contact Warner Brothers, are they not fooling around, are they?"
"No…"
"Okay, I'll contact David immediately and ask him to talk to Warner Brothers. All of them have agreed with DreamWorks. This is the case at this time!"
After looking at the time, Chen Mengxi called David.
David quit his job at DreamWorks and is now responsible for Chen Mengxi's business in the United States. Specifically, it is to sell books and copyrights...
"Dongdong...can I come in?"
Chapter completed!
