Chapter 144 Return to China with a Load (3/5)

At the cocktail party, Chen Mengxi and Li Yiping, Ye Weixin accompanied several major film dealers to talk nonsense.

According to the established strategy, we will first solve "Ip Man" and then talk about "Painted Skin"...

The genre of "Ip Man" ensures the market for the movie itself!

"You know Bruce Lee."

Several white men nodded, and Chen Mengxi said, "Ip Man, it's Bruce Lee's master!"

"Our story is based on "Jingwumen" and "Huang Feihong"... The starring Donnie Yen, the previous "Iron Monkey" sold for $16 million!"

McCanna, the head of Twentieth Century Fox, asked: “…is it a costume drama?”

"The Republic of China drama..."

She said again: "I just watched the trailer and felt that the fight was not very intense, and there was no sense of compulsion in "Raider"... In recent years, Chinese action movies have no longer been as popular as before. The box office of "Huo Yuanjia" and "Kung Fu King" are not considered successful..."

Li Yiping interrupted: "But DVD sales have always been stable. Hasn't Huo Yuanjia's North American DVD revenue exceeded US$40 million... The DVD revenue of "Roomer" even reached US$70 million. These data will not cheat people!"

"Kung Fu films have always been the representative type of Chinese films. I can guarantee that "Ip Man" is more than one, but our plan is to be a trilogy, and there may be a finale..."

McCana seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "...Okay, you have successfully impressed me, give us the right to issue!"

"What do you think?"

After getting the North American market, Chen Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the other people...

McCanna interjected: "…wait a minute, aren't we talking about global issuance rights?"

"worldwide?"

"We help publish and draw a certain distribution ratio... Twentieth Century Fox's distribution network is enough to cover all parts of the world. I don't think there is still a need to continue talking about it!"

This is so domineering!

But she was telling the truth...

However, in the subsequent "Painted Skin", her attitude was obviously not as strong as before...

It is similar to what Chen Mengxi expected, and the sales of "Painted Skin" are almost concentrated in Southeast Asian countries. MK2 has won the French distribution rights with a hesitant price, and the offer is not high...

Thanks to the 10-minute trailer of "Painted Skin", there were nearly 30 minutes of trailers, which touched many people on the scene...

Diego Harabi of the Pan-Latin American film distribution rights company and Canadian distribution company RCV are interested in buying it, but the price is very low...

Next, it’s not their participation. It’s time to stop and leave everything to the negotiators.

...

At the corner of the cocktail party, Li Yiping found Chen Mengxi and whispered: "Mccarna proposed two plans, one is to buy out the overseas distribution of "Ip Man" for $15 million..."

"15 million...we can share 60%, that's 9 million...what is the second solution?"

"They helped issue it and charged a 30% issuance fee..."

"The second type!"

Li Yiping disagreed: "Hollywood is not a good person. What should we do if they make fake accounts?"

Chen Mengxi smiled: "You think too much, I still have to work with them on "Mobile Maze". They still have two major projects, "Differences" and "The Hunger Games". They won't do it so much for the time being!"

“… Then why don’t they contact you directly?”

"I mentioned "Painted Skin" before, and they didn't seem to be interested. "Ip Man"...I forgot!"

Li Yiping left speechlessly. Chen Mengxi held the wine glass and found the lobster, picked up a piece and put it on the plate. Then she thought of putting down the wine glass and taking a bite. Jiang Nan came over to her: "Why are you so leisurely?"

"…I'm hungry, can I eat something? It's also called leisure?"

"Aren't you talking about copyright transactions with people in the salon?"

"The talk is almost done...you should care about your artist..."

Chen Mengxi breezes in the direction of Zhao Liying and the other three - the three of them are surrounding the barbecue chef, and the freshly fried octopus is immediately taken away...

While walking, howling...

Have you never eaten anything?

This is Cannes!

It's really embarrassing to France...

Jiang Nan's face turned blue and then he hypnotized himself: "I don't know them..."

Having said that, she walked over and thought she wanted to teach them what table etiquette is!

Chen Mengxi looked at the three people with their heads down and trying hard to be quail-shaped, and couldn't help but smile...

"Dream Stream!"

Chen Mengxi turned his head and it was Xu Renhou!

I feel so good when I meet an old friend in a foreign land!

"…Why are you here too?"

"The company sent me here, mainly responsible for the copyright sale of "Three Guys"..."

"Three Guys?"

"The Good Guy Bad Guy Strange Guy", starring Song Kang-ho, Jung Woo-sung and Lee Byung-hun..."

“…How is it sold?”

"It's not bad, I barely achieved the goal..."

Speaking of this, Xu In-hou seemed to have thought of something: "Tomorrow night, we will hold Xijie's movie night, and you must come then!"

“Tomorrow night…”

Chen Mengxi's expression was a little awkward...

"What's wrong?"

"We are going to leave tomorrow afternoon..."

"So urgent?"

"We're just selling movies..."

Unlike Xijie, Xijie has to buy some in addition to selling movies this time in Cannes, so they should wait until the Cannes closes...

In a word, it seems that it is one of the leading actors of "Three Guys" in Cannes. Zheng Yusheng and Lao Wu have a crush on each other. After two years, they found the latter to star in "Sword Rain"...

...

On the morning of the 18th, Chen Mengxi was packing and preparing to return to China. Li Yiping walked in excitedly: "You are right. Now the whole world is short of money, and "Painted Skin" has picked up a bargain!"

“How many have you sold?”

"US$11 million, plus the copyright of Japanese benzene, Korea, a total of 15 million!"

“…so high?”

The reason is very simple, it is nothing more than the global economic crisis, but the audience's demand for movies has not decreased. The quality of "Painted Skin" is here, the copyright fee is relatively cheap, and the risk of the buyer is also very small.

For example, in Norway, it bought the issuance rights of its own US$100,000. It looks very small, but it can't stand many European countries. There are only five Nordic countries. I sold it for 600,000 yuan with one more yuan - Denmark is a little generous, with US$200,000...

Add one piece in total, and the cost has been recovered!

Of course, after deducting the cost of Cannes this time, there is still a little loss...

While listening, Chen Mengxi stuffed things into the suitcase. This time, he bought a lot of souvenirs and prepared to give them to the staff in the studio as gifts.

Li Yiping was confused for a moment and asked, "...Boss, we really don't go to "Red Cliff" to help support the venue?"

"...I won't go anymore, I won't deal with Wu Baige... Go back and prepare for it, "Ip Man" will be released in August!"

"After all, Buffett Zhao is there... Will "Ip Man" be released in August?"

"I watched the schedule and I have scheduled four movies in August this year. "Invincible Hulk" will be released on August 29. Such a good schedule cannot be wasted!"

"Where is the best place? There will be Olympics in August!"

"I have a proper position..." After pausing, Chen Mengxi changed the topic: "Indeed, we just returned to China like this, which is a bit unauthorized. There are also films in "Red Cliff"... Let's do this, stay, represent us, and accompany Zhou Xun. I feel that she has been in a wrong state these days!"

"…I stayed?"
Chapter completed!
