Chapter 225 Return to China (3/5)
China Film originally thought that the market environment this year is not bad, and even "Painted Skin" can earn 292 million...
It doesn't make sense that Lao Chen can't do it.
Lao Chen's "The Promise" is 181 million yuan, the annual box office champion in 2005!
That year, A's "Riding a Thousand Miles" was only 30 million!
China Film Group has high hopes for "Mei Lanfang"...
Unfortunately, this movie...
According to later generations, the shortlisted for Berlin is a temporary quota for China Film Public Relations;
Later, I went to participate in an independent film festival like Seattle, USA, and didn’t even enter the top ten;
I went to several less-than-class film festivals such as Brazil and Belgium, and went to collect awards under the guise of Chinese Olympic bidding, but I still didn’t win a single award!
Mei Lanfang has a considerable investment and has a well-known movie star like International Zhang, but she can't win a small prize...
China Film Public Relations is certain - generally ranked among the three major European majors. The minimum requirement is that you have to come to me for the premiere. At least you can't get the award after it is released...
However, this movie will definitely make money!
Mei Lanfang’s biggest investment is Xiao Zhang’s pay and publicity.
It actually didn't cost money to build a scene, and it was a cooperation with Mei Lanfang's descendants...
The reliable news is that China Film Mei Lanfang only paid 10 million yuan for filming, and the protagonist's pay was produced by Boss Yu and Huanya. Since there was no harvest overseas, Boss Yu would definitely lose money.
However, Boss Yu is very rich. In 2003, he spent $150 million to buy the Shanghai Hilton Hotel, and in 2004, he spent another $8.2 billion to buy the operating rights of the Hangzhou Ring Expressway...
He doesn't care about this little money!
How can the movies be so clean?
One investment is $15 million. How much money does a serious movie maker have?
Do you think it's all Shen Mengxi?
What you cheat is the local rich man!
OK, receive it!
Back to the screening, "Mei Lanfang" accounts for 80% of the screening. What should I do with other movies?
What to do if you like in other movies...
But the distribution rights of "Wolf Tooth" are in the hands of Mengxi Company...
It will be released on December 10th, and it will be in the same schedule as ", Hey Lanfang"!
...
It was December 9th, and the first weekend of "Mobile Maze" was released.
North American Tuben won US$41 million and overseas reports closed at RMB49 million, of which South Korea contributed more than US$5 million in box office...
Ranked first in overseas areas!
Fox also attached great importance to it and arranged for Rain to lead the three leading actors to South Korea...
Shen Mengxi is preparing to return to China - South Korea. Whether he goes or not, it will have no effect!
The box office of "Mobile Maze" is within Fox's expectations.
According to their predictions, North American maps should have won about 150 million US dollars, and the world can almost exceed 400 million...
It's already very good!
You should know that Fox's box office was very good this year, except for "Hurricane Rescue", other movies either broke down or failed to meet expectations, especially "Australia's Troubled Times" and "The Day of Earth's Stop", a bunch of big names, and a box office defeat...
Let's put it this way, "Mobile Maze" is likely to be Fox's best box office performance in the year!
According to Hollywood rules, once a film makes a profit, of course it is impossible to wait for a sequel to begin.
What's more, "Mobile Maze" itself is created according to the trilogy...
"There is no need to give the actors too much salary increase. They signed a trilogy contract, which can add a little to Duncan Jones's salary..."
"The total cost of the second part is up to $40 million, and we must strictly control the cost..."
In the conference room, Shen Mengxi sat aside and watched David, Nancy talked nonsense with the person in charge of Fox.
"I think we need to rethink the issue of Shen's share!"
"David, 15% is already very high. You should know that Stephanie Mayer's share of the accounts in "Twilight" is only 10%!"
"...That's because she is stupid and doesn't know how to fight for herself. Anyway, the copyright of "Mobile Maze" is in our hands, so it's not too much for us to ask for a 20% share!"
That’s right, David wants to increase the copyright share, and in the second part, Mengxi Company will follow up on 20% of the investment...
Do you want shame?
Fox, from production to distribution, you are busy with your mouth, follow up with 20%, and then you need 40% of your income?
I'll ask you if you want shame?
You can choose not to agree. Anyway, Global is queuing up to cooperate with Mengxi Studio!
Just negotiating, slowly quarrel...
Chen Mengxi is not short of time or money, but Fox is eager to develop the second part...
Therefore, there is a high probability that I will agree.
After all, the first part of "Mobile Maze" can earn at least $150 million...
...
Third Master is also very concerned about the box office information of "Mobile Maze". After all, China Film and Television invested $5 million!
"It will definitely make money. How much money can be made depends on the final box office..."
"When will Fox make the bill?"
“…one month after the release.”
The secretary said: "Xiao Shen sent me a text message and told me that he could have at least $15 million in share accounts!"
"That's not bad, I'm making 10 million!"
"...But it's a bit difficult to follow up the second part..."
"How to say it?"
"Xiao Shen said that Hollywood attaches great importance to the investment rights of sequels and basically will not allow foreign funds to enter every year."
"…Can Xiao Shen vote?"
"It should be possible. After all, he is the original author and the producer's name is still hung!"
Hearing this, the third master nodded and said, "Talk to him to see if he can connect with Fox and see if he can make a co-production film. It really doesn't work. We just need China to distinguish the accounts!"
"Okay, I'll call him right away!"
“…Has he returned to China?”
"It shouldn't be, "Mobile Maze" is being released..."
At this time, Chen Mengxi, who was still promoting in the United States, had returned to China and went to see Wang Changtian as soon as possible...
For the release of "Wolf Tooth"!
...
In fact, Guangxian has released a few films this year, "The Bid", "Witness", and "The Big Search"...
"Seeing the Balance" is a theme of martial arts + main theme starring Zhang Weijian. Director Xu Xiaoming, director of the TV series "Huo Yuanjia", screenwriter...
The box office in mainland China did not reach 6 million...
Zhang Weijian, who colluded with Xie, forced Wang to fight Xiao Bailong, forced Wang to have the Emperor to protect him. It was nothing, but he was miserable and his business plummeted.
It's no longer the same as before.
Therefore, the box office failure of "The Bid" is understandable...
"witness"…
The same goes for the same thing, if there were no big names such as Andy Lau in Hong Kong dramas in those years, the box office would not be very good.
It's already very good to be able to achieve 18 million.
Think about it, "Informer" has not reached 50 million yet!
Don’t think that Chen Mengxi made a movie called "Painted Skin" and won nearly 300 million yuan, but it feels that the mainland film market has risen...
It's far from it!
The promotion of "Wolf Tooth" lacks one point.
It's something that makes people curious, that must be watched in the cinema...
You can't catch Wu Jing and fight one hundred propaganda, right?
Chen Mengxi directly suggested: "I think it can be created a slogan of Wu Jing VS Donnie Yen. Many people like to watch their "Sha Po Wolf" rival scene."
"…were all kung fu actors, one is considered a representative of Hong Kong, and the other is a mainland kung fu actor. Let them compete?"
