Fly to Nice first, then transfer to Cannes, a day in advance.

Buffett and Zhao are very busy. In addition to "Painted Skin", they also have to help "Red Cliff" stand on this trip.

That's right, Lao Wu also brought "Red Cliff" to Cannes to catch up...

They are all selling movies, so don’t look down on anyone!

Of course, the investors of "Red Cliff" include Lion Mountain Pictures in the United States, which is actually Lao Wu's personal film company in the United States. Zhang Jiazhen is responsible for the management. Their experience in selling films is much better than that of Chen Mengxi. At least they have sold a lot of poster booths...

Chen Mengxi and the others took a car to the hotel, passed the streets of Cannes, and even saw the hanging poster of "Red Cliff"!

"Damn it, I have no experience this time, and we will also buy a poster booth next time!"

Li Yiping comforted him: "It's okay, I've already contacted you. We will build a booth for "Painted Skin" tomorrow night..."

Chen Mengxi just said casually, and soon saw the biggest poster, and couldn't help but exclaim: "…"Kung Fu Panda"!"

It's really "Kung Fu Panda"!

The poster of "Kung Fu Panda" occupies the largest and highest booth on the streets of Cannes!

“…How much does it cost to hang this thing for seven days?”

"It's going to cost 800,000 euros no matter what!"

"Tsk tsk, it's still the Hollywood rich guys who are rich, and we are just rural guys compared to them."

I sighed a little and the car arrived at the hotel, the InterContinental Hotel in Carlton.

Not too luxurious, medium-sized, during the film festival, the total accommodation cost is 100,000 euros...

...

After taking a shower, Chen Mengxi was about to go downstairs and take a walk. Maybe he could meet one or two ocean horses...

He is not as interested in ocean horses as strong...

There is no right or wrong, nor is it a needle in a haystack, but...

How to say it, in the European and American series, the actress let out a pig-killing howl, and tossing and turning the sentence "Oh, God!"

There is no beauty at all!

But this is coming to Cannes. When I was in the circle before, I heard that during the Cannes Film Festival, exotic girls kept coming forward to promote themselves just to avoid staying on the roadside!

Change to a night's accommodation...

Chen Mengxi just wanted to verify whether this is true!

Maybe it’s the seniors who are bragging!

On the one hand, it can be verified, and on the other hand, it can also be regarded as promoting the exchange of body fluids between China and the West...

Just after getting dressed, Zhao Jinsong and Li Yiping knocked on the door and walked in

"Boss, I asked, the price of the advertisement for the magazine ranges from 50,000 to 500,000 US dollars..."

Chen Mengxi swallowed and asked, "Is the cover half a million dollars?"

"right!"

"Then... buy the inner page, $500,000 is too expensive."

I originally wanted to show off, but I really couldn't bear to let it go.

For $500,000, what's wrong?

"We held a press conference around the 18th to focus on promoting "Painted Skin"..."

"Will anyone come?"

"...You can rest assured that we will contact the media and reporters!"

"Okay..." Chen Mengxi originally wanted to ask, "Why are you not leaving yet?", and the words came to his mouth and changed to: "What are you doing next?"

"Go and trade!"

"…what...what is Zhou Xun? Do you want to bring her with you?"

"I just asked, and her assistant said she was feeling unwell and had a rest..."

...

Ask, what is it like to go to Cannes with a workaholic?

No, the problem should be changed, it should be with the two workaholics...

Chen Mengxi is really helpless!

The Cannes Film Festival itself includes multi-level activities such as the film market, the Palme d'Or series awards, the film fund and the film review seminar. The entire city of Cannes is more like a big market during the film festival...

The movie market is on the first floor of the underground of the Movie Palace, and there are not too many people...

Even a little deserted!

Li Yiping asked a white uncle in English skillfully and asked for a briefing. She came back and reported: "The price of the booth this year is too high. The rent for any showcase is 3,000 euros a day... I think we should focus on the cocktail party. Don't we already have potential film dealers..."

"In fact, the best-selling films in the overseas market are still very "Chinese-style" animated films like "Making a Fight in the Heavenly Palace" and the Cheng Long movies that are always easy to sell."

"Many large international companies are in the Carlton hotel where we live. Mature buyers are more accustomed to this separate inter-company transaction model. Let's rent a few private rooms... I've inquired about the price, about 8,000 euros a day, and we rent it for three days..."

"...you guys go and do it!"

Chen Mengxi heard them talking about a lot of things together. After a little analysis, he knew that what they were right. By the way, he asked: "For Mao's "Mao Dashi Tiangong" is very good?"

Li Yiping: "You think, how much does it cost to shoot an animation in Disney? It costs at least 100 million to 200 million US dollars. If you want to buy copyrights in the Eastern European market or France, it will not only be expensive, but also have to share the accounts with others. But for our films, they can buy copyrights for 100,000 US dollars, why not? Moreover, cartoons have no cultural discounts, they are suitable for young audiences, and they are particularly easy to sell."

"There are also ethnic films, such as "The Court on the Horseback" and "Tuya's Marriage". Although the copyright of a single country can be considered at most three or two, it cannot stand the small profit but the price is too high!"

Chen Mengxi subconsciously thought that Zhao Jinsong wanted to help him again, so he waved his hand and said, "...Come on, I didn't want to go to the world at all. I just thought about the domestic market. When the domestic market grows bigger, a movie will be sold for more than one billion yuan. Who cares about the so-called overseas market?"

Zhao Jinsong was about to say something, but Li Yiping interrupted him and nodded, "Actually, I have settled the bill. This trip to Cannes, plus the round-trip air tickets, our total cost is at least 3 million euros! To be honest, I really don't think this is a good deal!"

“…so high?”

"Yes, we have a lot of people coming, including accommodation, transportation, food, tips, and a booth with at least 400,000 euros. We also need to promote, posters, magazines, press conferences, cocktail parties... 3 million euros. I calculated based on the consumption in the previous few years. The situation this year should increase a lot!"

"It's okay, I forgot to tell you, I invested a quarter of "Uninvited" and shared the profit at least 10 million US dollars!"

This sentence is translated: Your boss has money, don’t care about these basic expenses...

I’ve come all the time, there’s no need to save money you should spend!

But I still feel so sorry for stepping on the horse!

Three million euros, no, four million euros, converted into RMB, close to 33 million...

"Painted Skin" and "Ip Man" can't sell the copyright of this money, this trip will be considered a loss!

After walking around, I almost understood it. Chen Mengxi suggested: "Let's go and go to Menadier Street to take a walk?"

Zhao Jinsong suddenly asked: "Do we want to choose a few movies to go back?"

Chen Mengxi's eyes lit up: "Buy out the copyright, make it into batches, and go back to release it?"

"Yes, that's what I think."

The two looked at Li Yiping at the same time, and the latter sighed: "How can you get a bargain? For example, "When Happiness Comes Knocks on the Door", I just asked, the copyright in the mainland is at least 3 million US dollars, do we want to buy it?"

“There is not much profit margin for $3 million…”

Chen Mengxi calculated the accounts. With Will Smith's appeal and the quality of "When Happiness Comes Knocks", it is not difficult for the mainland box office to exceed 50 million, but the 50 million yuan account was less than 20 million yuan, and 3 million US dollars were less than 20 million yuan...

No matter how you look at this business, it's a loss.

"Let's go, no fool can be in the trading market!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Isn't that one over there a fool?"

Chen Mengxi and Li Yiping followed the direction of Zhao Jinsong's mouth, and it turned out to be the Chinese Film Haitui Company...

While looking at the phone, the receptionist impatiently chatted with a glasses vendor. I don’t know what he was talking about, but the latter was so angry that his face turned red and left the booth...

This attitude!
