Chapter 17 Dismal (5/5)
In fact, the most glorious ones in Cannes this year are Huayi and Uncle Long!
He holds the "Twelve Zodiac Signs" in his hand and is said to sell copyrights from more than 100 countries.
I don’t know the specific transaction number, but it will definitely not be lower than "Nine Tails"...
After all, Uncle Long is really a global leader.
On the plane, Chen Mengxi was summarizing the experience of selling films with Song Hang: "Action movies are still the business card of Chinese movies leading abroad..."
"I agree, but... pure action movies are not very popular in the domestic market!"
"This is a problem..."
"And, there are only a few popular action stars now, and they are very expensive!"
"yes…"
Chen Mengxi sighed, then thought of Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, and by the way, he thought of "Quick Chasing"...
This story can be grafted into a Chinese kung fu film, with the identity background set as a retired mercenary, and the occurrence location is set in Thailand.
As for passing the review.
Let's put it this way, the latter one is seriously guarded against by bloody violence and eroticism. Otherwise, there is no possibility for movies like "Drug War" and "Slaying Wolf 2" to release you.
Song Hang waited for a long time but didn't see him talking, so he asked, "What are you thinking?"
"nothing…"
For overseas sellers, foreign films buy the distribution rights of a country or region and the copyright.
But not many people actually go to theaters because there are also considerations about issuance fees.
Films that can win awards at the three major European film festivals are usually in art theaters and will not be released on a large scale.
Even blockbusters like "Walking with God" and "Nine Tails" are only a few theaters, although they are screened in mainstream theaters.
Taking the French market as an example, these movies will enjoy a schedule and take the commercial operation route, Mengxi's movies, the best-selling one was last year's "Big Man", with a box office of up to 4 million US dollars in France!
The box office of "Hero" in France was only $5.1 million;
To put it in, the Chinese-language movie with the highest box office in France is "The Dragon and the Tiger", which has a box office of nearly $32 million!
Generally, movies with a box office of more than 1 million US dollars will have a relatively good TV copyright. Internet copyright. It is a bit regrettable. The French box office of the "Painted Skin" series is basically around 110,000 viewers. If it is converted into a box office, it is less than 800,000 US dollars...
The box office in Germany is OK? It basically exceeds $1 million? Similarly, "Big Man" hit a box office of $3.6 million...
So, it’s still the most popular overseas action movies!
...
Airport? Chen Mengxi appeared? He was immediately surrounded by reporters...
Ask about "Walking with God".
The promotion and promotion have begun. The press releases are "Walking with God" in Cannes? Chinese-style fantasy impacts Hollywood", "Walking with God" copyright is sold in 97 countries and regions, setting a record for Chinese-language business sales", "Walking with God" Cannes promotion is concluded? The film festival chairman supports it"...
It is to create a feeling of blooming overseas!
Chen Mengxi had to pause for a moment? After accepting an interview, he was basically asking about the overseas sales data of "Walking with God"...
This is considered a commercial secret and is not easy to publish.
Chen Mengxi didn't talk about the data in a stupid way, but just said it simply: "It's a little better than last year's results..."
"The distribution model of Chinese-language films in overseas markets is different from the past? The distribution companies of overseas films are also changing."
"What we need to do next is to set up branches in several major European countries? Break the overseas sales agency market monopolized by European companies such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and independently represent the overseas distribution of Chinese-language movies."
"It's hard... but if you don't do it, the issuance will always be in the hands of other companies..."
"Wanda...I'm not convenient to evaluate my peers..."
After getting rid of the reporter's entanglement, Chen Mengxi got into the car.
[Biquge www.biqugew.xyz] After seeing the boss, the driver Xu Muyang licked his face and said hello: "Boss? You are back!"
"…Um."
“Back to the company?”
"Um."
Through the perspective mirror, he looked at Chen Mengxi? His face was like a red peach-like eyebrows were like willows...
In a sense, the driver of Chen Mengxi is the closest person he is.
He was also valued by many tabloid reporters because of this? He wanted to ask him about Chen Mengxi.
Of course, can he be chosen as the driver by Chen Mengxi? The most important thing is: honest and honest.
And Chen Mengxi is very generous!
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay!" Xu Muyang quickly changed the topic: "Many people on the Internet say that domestic movies are over..."
"How can it be so easy to end... "The Desperate World" was imported from China back then? Many people said that Chinese movies are out of the blue? Isn't it good now?"
“Yes, yes…”
Xu Muyang hurriedly continued driving...
Chen Mengxi took out his phone and searched it. Sure enough, there were a bunch of similar remarks - "Big Box Office, Who is the Main Ups and downs", "Hollywood is Better Than Tiger, Chinese Movies Collapse in Full", "Avengers", "Titanic" 3D and "Super Battleship" were in the theater, domestic films were so miserable that they accounted for less than 20% of the box office output"
What is most annoying is this pessimistic argument!
Why did you go on a horse early?
"Avengers", since the launch of "Iron Man" in 2006, Marvel has been planning for six years, and it makes sense that others can make a big splash!
During the same period, what domestic movies are on the market?
"Chasing the Murder", "Shadow Lover", "Fifteen-year-old Smiling Face", "Me 11"…
What are you using to compete with blockbusters with $200 million invested?
...
It's really miserable...
As of June, the box office was 7.4 billion yuan in the first five months of 2012, and domestic movies accounted for only 3.2 billion yuan - even if "The Guy in My Body" was a big hit...
If Love Has Will" final box office was 390 million, ranking sixth, with Titanic 3D, Mission Impossible 4, The Guy in My Body, Hunting, and Avengers ranked in the top five;
Especially in May, the monthly box office output was 1.7 billion, of which "Avengers" accounted for more than 600 million. "Man in Black 3" was released on May 25, taking over "Avengers" and produced 260 million box office in five days...
In addition to the "Titanic 3D", "Super Battleship", "Three Musketeers", "Soul Chariot 2" that received the extension key, several Hollywood movies have won 1.3 billion box office...
In other words, "If Love Is Will" won a box office of 130 million yuan in a single month, which retains a trace of dignity for domestic films.
But it's just a little bit, because May is more of a movie like "Letter to Wife" that has almost no market effect...
Let me add: "Letter to Wife", Tong Dawei + Xu Qing, a one-day tour of the theater, the box office is not 150,000...
This movie is very famous, at least in the industry - it was so bad that Hairun was afraid to make a movie for a while, and even caused Hairun to fail to hit the IPO!
Huang Zhonglei directly posted on Weibo and said: "I can't beat Hollywood..."
There are also many filmmakers who sighed: "Fortunately, the movie was not released in the first five months"...
What’s worse is that the price of online copyrights, which account for a large part of the surrounding income, also fell - a video website last year was launched for 1 million yuan, but this year it was only 200,000 yuan.
——Because your movies are rubbish, no audience watches...
It is a good thing for potatoes. You can take the opportunity to include a few more domestic movies to enrich the film library...
