Chapter 181 Arrangements (5/5)

"First, you have to have a concept. Although the domestic market is developing rapidly, it seems that everyone has a concept that we are about to surpass the United States, but I will tell you the truth that it is unlikely to surpass the United States in terms of films. Even if we develop into the world's largest market, we are just engaging in the whole film industry chain, the highest end and the most basic ones, we are not as good as others."

"Second, let's build a good domestic market first, don't always think about going out. If you can't go out, the world market share of American movies is an unshakable default. We can only compete with world movies in the remaining less than 10% of Hollywood's market share."

"Third...Don't think too awesome. How much is the return rate of "Painted Skin"? It's not double!"

Fat Chen on the other end of the phone was very upset: "...No, I'll ask if you are coming to the celebration banquet, where do you have so many opinions?"

Chen Mengxi: "I'm assigned to... Don't show off, I've seen you brag in the Boston News!"

"ah?"

"...Ah what, if you didn't brag too hard, could the Americans know? Be low-key and develop in a vague way!"

After instructing him, Chen Mengxi sighed. He had indeed seen the information about "Painted Skin" in the Boston News, but Chen Liming's name did not appear...

Also, the North American distribution rights of "Painted Skin" were very unsuccessful. Only one IFC Midnight Film Company was willing to bid $400,000 to buy the North American copyright of "Painted Skin". They were not ready to be released, but only were preparing to release DVDs...

If you just want to release DVDs, Chen Mengxi would have asked Netflix to cooperate with him long ago!

Although Chen Mengxi is filming here, he is in North America, so of course he has to solve the problem of North American distribution...

Liu Yifei suddenly hugged him from behind: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's just that things are not going so well..."

"...You are already amazing. After filming a movie in half a month, don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

"Without stress, what's the point of living?"

Turning around, looking at her, "I'm back home soon, what do you do?"

"I still want to audition for "The Legend of Chunli"..."

"…Forget it, I'll introduce you to a crew!"

"What crew? The project you talked about with Li Zi that day?"

"You're thinking too much. It will take at least half a year for that project to be filmed. Where can I have time?"

Liu Yifei's expression was a little dim, but he still asked: "What kind of project is that?"

"Wolverine...I contacted Hugh Jackman and Lauren Donner, and they agreed to let you play Agent 0..."

"Agent No. 0?"

"…The villain of the X-Men series, the master of firearms, is proficient in various firearms... Later, he was killed by Wolverine..."

Liu Yifei thought about it for a while and then asked, "Lauren Donner?"

"She is the producer, supervised producer of the X-Men series and has the right to cast..."

"How did you convince her?"

"Then you just leave it alone..."

How to convince?

Just use emotion to move it with reason, okay, this sentence is nonsense, Chen Mengxi invites her to serve as the producer and producer of "The Difference"...

"You go to the audition the day after tomorrow, remember to wear a suit, and it's a men's suit!"

"…good!"

"Or, you can wear it now!"

...

Chen Mengxi said it very easily, but David made a lot of effort for this role!

First of all, there is an original comic in "X-Men". Agent No. 0 is an Asian man. This thing has been set up long ago. Did you suddenly change your gender?

What should I do if the comic fans are not satisfied?

Fortunately, Agent No. 0 is only Asian...

If it is a black man, wait for protest!

Secondly, Liu Yifei really has no reputation in Hollywood, and she has an agency, and is asking her to make every effort to prepare for "The Legend of Chun Li"...

Finally, it’s Liu Yifei herself. She needs to undergo at least two months of physical training in advance!

By the way, Chen Mengxi has finished filming "Manchester by the Sea" and has been edited. He is giving Yoko Sugito the soundtrack...

He thought the original soundtrack was a bit inappropriate, and many places seemed a bit overdone.

Yoko Suno's style is very suitable. She gave several movies that were played by Yuka Koreedo. The soundtrack in "Haijie Diary" is amazing!

Gentle and delicate...

"Manchester by the Sea" is already very disappointing, so let's have a slightly gentle soundtrack.

...

"Ali overwhelmed horses..."

A cinema in Japan, Yang Xiaomi and Zhang Hanyun bowed to thank the audience, and by the way, they said the only Japanese sentence they could speak...

It means ‘thank you everyone’…

"Painted Skin" is very popular in Japan, with 260 million in the first week, 380 million in the second week, and 360 million in the third week...

Three weeks after its release, the cumulative box office exceeded 1 billion yen…

It has been converted into RMB for more than 65 million!

It has undoubtedly become the largest overseas stock market!

According to forecasts, the total box office can reach at least 1.5 billion yen, which is close to 100 million RMB!

It surpassed "Shaolin Girls" produced by Zhou Xingchi and ranked among the top 20.

Looking at the crowd of movie fans holding posters of "Painted Skin" at the entrance of the cinema, Zhang Hanyun and Yang Xiaomi felt a little popular overseas...

In Japan, Zhang Hanyun and Yang Xiaomi stood in the C position of the poster of "Painted Skin", and the four protagonists stood around them...

"If I had known that "Painted Skin" would be so popular, I should have come to promote it earlier!"

“…What I regret now is that the copyright of Nibenzene is sold too low!”

"It's okay, there's "Painted Skin 2"!"

"Singapore's box office exceeded 1.5 million US dollars..."

“…Is $1.5 million a lot?”

"Three consecutive weeks of box office champion!"

Several propagandists were talking about the copyright transactions of "Painted Skin" and overseas situations. Li Yiping received a call and hung up and told everyone: "Let's go back the day after tomorrow to hold a celebration banquet, and then promote it again!"

Yang Xiaomi was anxious: "I'll go back the day after tomorrow? Didn't I say that it would be a week?"

"…The boss is back, we have to go and meet the boss. The script of "Painted Skin 2" is also released!"

"Painted Skin 2"…

Yang Xiaomi looked at Zhang Hanyun who was dozing beside her, and silently plotted against her in her heart...

...

In New York, Dream Creek Studio, David played the filmed "Human Purge Plan" to Shen Mengxi.

"What do you think?"

“…I think it’s OK…”

Chen Mengxi rolled her eyes and gave a positive answer...

Damn, the things sold for $1.5 million can only go in the direction of cult...

“Who do we ask for to cooperate in issuing?”

“…Don’t the Twentieth Century Fox pick up?”

"I think it's better to find Lions Gate to release new movies with such small size...they give more favorable conditions..."

"Yeah?"

"Of course!" David explained: "Liongate makes horror and bloody films all year round. They have detailed potential audience data and can arrange venues for these audiences. Fox will only spread the Internet..."

The meaning of this is that if Fox takes over the issuance, the promotion and distribution cost will be much more expensive than Lions Gate...
