Chapter 182 I'm Not That Powerful (1/3)

"Ip Man" has been released in North America, with a cumulative box office of US$20.8 million. Fox has nothing to say about promotion and distribution!

In recent years, Chinese action movies have actually been less popular.

Otherwise, "Huo Yuanjia" would not have sold for less than $25 million...

In "Ip Man", Fox spent more than $4 million in publicity alone!

Not only did the poster say 'Who trained Bruce Lee', but also wrote a few words that George Lucas recommended...

The collaboration between Fox and Lucas, which began 40 years ago, raised $10 million to make the first Star Wars movie a reality…

Because of this, Fox has always been responsible for the release of "Star Wars"!

Follow the example of "Hero" in the past... However, when Quentin was on the show and helped "Hero" shout, Lucas obviously couldn't do it...

But it's enough, Lucas's name has indeed affected many viewers...

Otherwise, there wouldn't be too many people interested in Ip Man.

To be honest, this must be thanked to Fox.

But their release commission is indeed a bit too much. In North America alone, they drew $9 million!

Chen Mengxi looked at the bill, and the investment in publicity and distribution was as high as 6 million US dollars!

You know, the total box office share is less than 12 million!

Overseas account sharing, the proportion is already low, and they still draw 15%...

Even TV, DVD rental copyrights, they also cost 15%...

In short, Chen Mengxi only received less than 15 million US dollars for the first batch of accounts splits of "Ip Man"...

Making money is making money, and the first batch of accounts is close to the $15 million buyout fee proposed by McCana before...

Therefore, the choice of not agreeing to buy out directly was correct!

But I was still unhappy. Although I knew this was the rule, according to the adjective of some domestic filmmakers - borrowing a boat to go to sea.

David knew the sharing of the accounts of "Ip Man" very clearly, and he was a little unhappy. After all, "Ip Man" was released in North America and Chen Mengxi threw it to him...

Chen Mengxi's profit is low, which means his share of the accounts is also low!

However, he checked the bill and it was indeed no problem. The reason why Fox scored so high was that he really helped win more than 2,000 venues!

All of these cost...

Therefore, in this "Human Purge Plan", he contacted the Lion Gate at the first time...

Dawei continued to introduce: "The commission ratio of Lions Gate is 12%..."

"Then let's continue to cooperate with Lions Gate in the future?"

"...No, Lions Gate's influence is far less than Fox. If a movie has the potential to exceed 100 million, I suggest working with the six majors..."

...

Chen Mengxi came to New York, except for David who wanted to find him, the most important thing was that he had to accompany Liu Yifei to audition.

The project studio of "Wolverine" is in New York - because the filming location is in New York.

Chen Mengxi can only help her get an audition at most. She still has competitors, and another producer, Louis Friedman, insists on using men.

Original time and space are his persistence, and the crew used Daniel Heini...

Liu Yifei’s biggest problem is not the gender of the character, but the box office in the mainland has not yet been opened. Now when it comes to the Asian market, it is actually South Korea and Japan…

Compared with Daniel Heini, Lao Liu is really not popular in those two countries!

Why did Twentieth Century Fox open "Wolverine"?

Just want to make money!

"X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave" costs as much as US$230 million, the box office in North America is only US$230 million, and the global box office is 450 million...

I made a shout!

It is impossible to continue filming anymore, the actor's salary accounts for almost half of the production cost!

But in recent years, Hugh Jackman has become more and more popular, with "Deadly Magic", "Treasure Fountain" and "Scoop" collaborating with major directors such as Christopher Nolan, Woody Allen, and Darren Alenovsky.

Seeing that Sony next door made a lot of money with "Spider-Man", Fox has always wanted to bring out the most popular Wolverine in the X-Men and make a separate movie.

You should know that Wolverine is also the leader of Marvel Comics. She is the top five most popular American comics. She is fighting Superman with Spider, the master's character!

Hugh Jackman agreed, and then there was Wolverine...

In today's audition, Lauren Donner and Hugh Jackman both came. They just came to see Liu Yifei and evaluate whether she has a value-added effect on the market.

She didn't let her perform anything, she just simply asked her to do a few moves - Chen Mengxi said when she recommended that Liu Yifei's action scenes were particularly beautiful!

The action ends, Lauren Donner applauds:

"It's very exciting. You really make me look forward to this collaboration. But you know, our casting process is extremely rigorous, and the result is what it turns out, and we have to wait for the final news."

"OK, I understand!"

Liu Yifei said goodbye and left...

She understood what Lauren Donner meant: It’s not that you are not good enough, but that we still need to tear it up...

...

"The same is true for Hollywood casting. All forces are competing. Although Agent No. 0 is a supporting role, he is an Asian mutant, with first-class marksmanship and shooting skills, and is loyal to the general. His character is very likable!"

"You are glad that you didn't face domestic casting, otherwise you wouldn't be the turn."

In the hotel, Chen Mengxi gave her opinions while listening to the fairy sister talking about the casting situation.

"Then you said, will they use me?"

"…I don't know, it depends on whether Twentieth Century Fox dares to bet on the box office in the mainland!"

"What can we do?"

"...I'm not as powerful as you think. "Wolverine" is an A-level production and costs at least 80 million US dollars. For such a large project, it's impossible for me to make a character just by just one sentence!"

Chen Mengxi waved his hand: "We can wait for news now..."

In fact, it’s not that you can’t do anything. If you really spend 50 million dollars and stuff them, do you think it’s OK?

Not to mention anything else, "Inception" is a typical Japanese tycoon who spends money. The Japanese background in it is all the content of the revised script.

So, it’s because the fairy sister didn’t get that...

"Forget it, I don't want that much..."

Lao Liu leaned against the sofa and sighed...

Chen Mengxi sat over, hugged her, and whispered: "I will return to China tomorrow!"

“…When will you come back?”

"It's hard to say..." Chen Mengxi buried her head in front of her chest, sniffed deeply, suddenly remembered what she had pulled, and looked up: "I rented a house on Changdao. If you don't have a place to go, you can live there!"

"house?"

"It's not a big deal to stay in a hotel all the time."

"Where is the house? Go and have a look now!"

"…OK!"

David helped buy a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom single-family villa...
