Chapter 1177 Migui in Xinxiang is not easy to live in

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Many Korean, Chinese, and Japanese people gather here. Manhattan is just across the Washington Bridge, and many middle-class and rich people live along the Hudson. The main reason is that there are few friends...

On the side of the street, there is an open-air coffee shop with a dark green roof, white plastic chairs, a cup of quick coffee, and a half-bitten hamburger next to it.

Wu Xiaozu, who was dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans and had stubble, threw the cigarette butt into the paper coffee cup, lit another cigarette, and wrote and drew on the newspaper with a pen.

"Where are you going to fly to at night?"

Cheng Long, who was wearing a mop head, devoured the hamburger, and looked over his head. Beside him, Leonardo was lying on the table next to him to catch up on sleep.

13 cities in 30 days, even if it is only concentrated in the east and west coasts and key cities in North America, it is still too much for people.

The drama "Detective Chinatown" has begun to be promoted in major North American newspapers and media.

"Lon Howard: "Ambition of Fire" will be the best fire-themed work in the United States. For the real fire special effects, the film cost 4000 million US dollars!" - "New York Post"

"The best way back is to go to the unknown road of no return. At the end of the killing is the flower of evil blooming: "The Flower of Doom" is scheduled for the third week of May!"

Looking at the "New York Times" evaluation of the recently released movie, Wu Xiaozu drew two circles with a pen on the newspaper.

I remembered that two months ago, Miramax, New Line Films, and Touchstone Point signed a film distribution contract with Bowei Films Distribution Company.

Bowei Films will become the North American distributor of "Chinatown", and it will take 15% of the distribution fee and 35% of the distribution fee of North American TV and video copyright income.

At the same time, it enjoys the priority and joint distribution rights of overseas distribution rights (excluding Asia).This is a point that Zhang Jiazhen especially wants to emphasize.After all, Wu Xiaozu's box office appeal in Asia is really not on the same frequency as that in North America.

The film "Chinatown" will be paid in advance by Bowei Films for the promotion, marketing, production copy and other related expenses in the early stage, and this part of the expenses will be withheld and settled after the film is released.

In the release schedule formulated by Bowei Films, the number of trial screenings of "Chinatown" in the United States is clearly stipulated, and relevant film critics will be invited to participate in the film review to create momentum for the film.

Based on Wu Xiaozu's excellent performance in "The Seven Sins", the opening of this film will not be less than 2000 screens.

If calculated according to the $680 a copy at this time, the cost will be nearly $136 million, plus the previous film review screenings, copy transportation, storage, and media promotion, the cost of publicity and distribution will exceed $350 million!
This investment has reached more than half of the production cost of 600 million U.S. dollars, and the total cost of the film has also exceeded the estimated 800 million U.S. dollars, reaching more than 950 million U.S. dollars...

As for the pre-stage publicity effect of this drama——

Looking at the colorful flowers of the two movies released at the same time in the newspaper, Wu Xiaozu frowned and couldn't help but rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Obviously, the early publicity of "Detective Chinatown" was really unsatisfactory.

Bowell Pictures' distribution strategy is really... nothing new.Even if his last movie was a big hit at the box office, but in terms of influence, there is no way to compare with Ron Howard and Ridley Scott.

Don't look at the box office of Wu Xiaozu's "Seven Sins" before, but the problem is that the two directors and the producers behind them are equally well-known, not to mention that the two films are from Universal and MGM respectively. The publicity ability is even better than that of Bowei!

This is why Wu Xiaozu agreed to lead Cheng Long and Xiao Lizi to run a publicity campaign across the United States.

During this period, Harvey will also rely on his contacts to help the group receive a lot of radio and TV promotion opportunities.

It's like playing with a rock star.

However, it is clear that Harvey also understands that fans of Wu Xiaozu and Cheng Long gather around the Asian community and the cities on the east and west coasts where Chinese live, even if they are a little famous.

Therefore, in the promotional itinerary, it is basically the cities on the east and west coasts and some famous cities in North America.

As for the Midwest, the South...

I'm afraid that group of rednecks will not like such a movie starring a yellow man.

Inherent biases have always existed.

Otherwise, Cheng Long would not have explored this in Hollywood for more than ten years, and it was only a few years later that he began to truly become a very appealing action star!

Wu Xiaozu accelerated the process, but it is not sure whether the dragon-style action comedy will be liked by action fans.

This itself is an unknown.

"Everyone can sleep well in Miami at night." Zhang Jiazhen said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Little Lizi with red lips and white teeth couldn't help but waved his fist, "I can't wait to dive headlong into the sea water of Miami right now!"

I'm afraid you are playing with water guns on the beach unscrupulously!

Wu Xiaozu looked wryly at Little Li, who was as handsome as his own at [-].

"The premiere was set at an independent cinema in Brooklyn, New York. Harvey and Bo Wei contacted many media and famous film critics."

Zhang Jiazhen picked up the cigarettes on the table and knocked out a few cigarettes, distributed them to several people, and at the same time helped Wu Xiaozu light another one, looked around, and said in a low voice: "The company's financial accountant has calculated the box office of "Seven Sins" According to our calculations, the first box office share should be 330 million U.S. dollars."

The tobacco was burning deep red, Wu Xiaozu slowly exhaled the thick fog, flicked the soot, and signaled the other party to continue.

"However, the first share reported by the accountant yesterday was only 140 million US dollars. There was a loss of 190 million US dollars for no reason..."

Wu Xiaozu squinted his eyes, squinted at Zhang Jiazhen, picked up the cigarette and took another puff, "So you mean someone moved our cheese?"

Zhang Jiazhen nodded and said, "This is just the first share."

"..."

Wu Xiaozu supported his head with the hand holding the cigarette, and gently scratched the hair on the temples with his fingers, paused for a few seconds, took another puff of the cigarette, and repeated several times.

"The timing is very clever." He smiled lightly.

"That's right." Zhang Jiazhen said with a serious expression, in a low voice:

"The first part of "The Seven Sins" was supposed to arrive last month, but it was delayed until this point in time. Just before the release of "Detective Chinatown"."

It has to be said that the time chosen by the family is indeed very particular, which directly hits the weakness.

At this point in time, even if you notice some problems, can you really turn the table?
of course can.

But Kao never considered "Detective Chinatown".

What's more, if someone dares to do this, it is clear that they have nothing to fear!

"According to the report of the other party, the operating profit of this film is very low... I have compared and found that many expenditures have exceeded the normal budget of the industry. I suspect that it is New Line and Miramax. Tricked it up." Zhang Jiazhen added.

"Hey~~"

Wu Xiaozu glanced at the Hudson River not far away, and the famous Manhattan is on the other side.

It is not easy for foreigners to live in Xinxiang, an international metropolis.

What the hell came to trick myself, an honest and mediocre film director.

Too much not to talk about Wude!

Don't I just want to find a place to live before the decline of Hong Kong movies?
Why do you force yourself, a rich man with a net worth of more than one billion dollars?

After thinking about it, I'd better write a letter to Sister Wang and Auntie Wang first, to see if I can cheat... cross it out, and get some funds for buying a house.
