Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1994 Fuck Stallone
Zhou Buqi had contacted Stallone twice before. His "Expendable Squad" series is a film that Jieyu Media participates in assortment investment and Universal Pictures participates in distribution.

Recently, Stallone has even directly cooperated with Summit Entertainment Films, a subsidiary of Ziwei Star Universal, to launch the "Escape Plan" movie series.

Behind this, the domestic market is particularly important.

Because "The Expendables 1" entered the domestic market, it followed the "batch mode", which was actually a buyout, and the buyout fee offered by Jieyu Media was only US$50.

After the movie was released, the market exploded.

Domestic movie fans like Stallone very much.

Then, this movie made Jieyu Media earn more than 1 million yuan in the domestic market.Jieyu Media's priority in approving Hollywood films is also one of the reasons why it is currently recognized by the capital market and its stock price is strong.

Of course, Stallone is not reconciled, limited by the contract and the special domestic system, "The Expendables 2" can only follow this film approval mode in the future, and most of the income in the domestic market will also fall into the pockets of Jieyu Media.

This is one of the reasons why Stallone started the "Escape Plan" series.

Just want to make a lot of money through the domestic market.

He wants to start a film series, aiming at the domestic market, and then find a way to get the quota of imported films and get a share of the box office.

Stallone is no ordinary actor.

He is a powerful figure in Hollywood. He led the production of the "Rocky" series in his 20s and has a great reputation.If Summit Entertainment wanted to reach a cooperation with him, it had to solve this crucial problem.

How can "Escape Plan of the Golden Cicada" get an import spot in the mainland market?It would be even better if I could get the quota for a joint venture film, thank God.

After going around, the report hit Zhou Buqi.

If we can establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with Stallone, it will be a huge business supplement for Ziwei Star Global.

Especially related to the future streaming media business.

Stallone's movies are a bit retro. In today's era of high-tech blockbusters, it is difficult to make waves in the box office market.But on the streaming media platform, Stallone is still the top superstar.

On a streaming media platform like Netflix, viewers can only watch movies through computers, TVs, tablets, and smartphones, and the beautiful special effects of Hollywood blockbusters will not be effective, and Stallone’s personal charm will be highlighted. Out.

In short, after some evaluation, the cooperation between Ziweixing Global and Stallone is very important.

Then, Zhou Buqi made a move, had a second meeting with Stallone, and started a series of operations.The result was very successful, "Escape Plan of the Golden Cicada" has been launched, and China Film has been introduced as an investor and producer.

This is not just as simple as getting an import quota, which means that this series of films will be co-produced by China and the United States.

The domestic box office share of co-productions can reach 35%.

With a total investment of US$5000 million, Ziweixing Global invested US$2500 million and obtained 100% of the film copyright and 40% of the film revenue. China Film Group invested US$2500 million and obtained 35% of the film revenue.

Because it is China Film Group and the face of boss Zhou is in it, Ziweixing Global is not too harsh on the terms. In addition to retaining 100% of the streaming media revenue, it has given them some benefits to a large extent. .

Don't look at China Film's 50% investment and only 35% profit sharing, but this is already the best treatment in a co-production.

For most of the co-productions, the Chinese investors can only get a share of the domestic revenue, and the international market revenue is taken away by the United States.

Stallone does not pay, but this project belongs to him, which is equivalent to the founder of a start-up company. He has personal stock, joins with a low salary of 400 million US dollars, and receives 25% of the movie revenue.

The interests of all parties have been satisfied, and everyone is happy.

This time in Formentera is the third meeting between the two parties.

When Stallone heard that Boss Zhou was here, he led his family and brought gifts, as if he was meeting an old friend, and came here in a hurry.

Seeing that he brought his wife and children here, Zhou Buqi was not very happy at first.

Unexpectedly, this Stallone is an old man in his 60s, his wife is so sexy and enchanting, she looks like a supermodel at first glance, and she seems not as old as Aunt Xue.

The children are even more extraordinary, they are three bright and charming daughters.

After a simple exchange, and taking a photo with Mai Feixue, and leaving his signature, Zhou Buqi suggested that everyone go to the beach to swim, sunbathe, and talk about work.

Of course Stallone was delighted.

However, Sun Guanran, Mai Feixue and the others don't have to follow. Wearing swimsuits for other men to admire is really not Zhou Buqi's style.

To appreciate, is to appreciate other people's women.

Stallone's wife is pretty good, she is a supermodel, tall, with a lordosis and a warped back, and her skin is well maintained.Those three daughters... forget about the youngest daughter, who hasn't developed yet, and is probably only eight or nine years old.

The other two daughters are both slim and handsome, so they are more attractive.

When they changed into their swimsuits and played together at the beach, Stallone's eldest daughter named Sophia came here enthusiastically and cheerfully.

A few casual physical contacts are really provocative.

Sophia also quietly approached, "Zhou, you are the big boss, are you rich?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "It's almost like your father."

"Are you my father's friend?"

"Ah."

"You look so cute, I like it very much."

Sophia's beautiful eyes were shining with joy.

Zhou Buqi was slightly taken aback.

It was also the first time someone praised him as "cute".

"Then... let's go on a date then?"

Sophia blinked her eyes, looking forward and curious.

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was startled, and turned to look at Stallone not far away.Fortunately, he was protecting his little daughter from swimming, so he didn't notice it.

Sophia said in a low voice: "I'll give you my phone number later, you're in Los Angeles, you can ask me out."

"Isn't this appropriate?" Zhou Buqi was very cautious.

Sophia covered her mouth and snickered, and squeezed her eyes, "Let's do it secretly, without letting my father know. Aren't you his friend? Even if he finds out, I'll just say... I'll just ask Uncle Zhou for advice on acting. thing."

Zhou Buqi was amused at once, and felt that this girl was quite eccentric, and looking at her figure... she was also very tall and handsome, with fair and delicate skin, really outstanding and lovely.

Sophia seemed to have noticed his gaze, and deliberately puffed out her chest, as if comforting him, "Don't worry, I've grown up. I'm a virgin, if you don't mind my inexperience, we can try it. Well, Sistine wants to try it too. But my dad is so strict that we won't let us date boys."

Sistine is her second sister, who looks similar to her. Apart from being stunningly beautiful, she also has a delicate and charming figure.

Zhou Buqi has seen the demeanor of American adolescent girls, "But I don't know how to act."

"Ah?" Sophia was very puzzled, "Aren't you the boss of the film company?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I am an investor."

"Oh, that's it..." Sophia thought for a while, and then her beautiful eyes flickered, "It's okay, if Dad finds out, I'll tell you to learn investment and financial management from Uncle Zhou."

"Haha."

Zhou Buqi thought this girl was very cute.

Stallone also seemed to have noticed the situation, and quickly swam over, very vigilant.

After landing, we went to the beach.

Sophia lay on her stomach, unbuttoned her underwear behind her back, and called out coquettishly, "Uncle Zhou, can you do me a favor? Can you apply sunscreen for me?"

"This one……"

Zhou Buqi was a little moved.

Stallone next to him decisively stopped him and said loudly, "Let Mom help you!"

Sophia sighed helplessly, sat up, spread her hands at Zhou Buqi, and said helplessly, "You see, this is my dearest daddy, an old antique."

The swimsuit on her upper body had been unbuttoned, and when she sat up, it immediately slipped off, revealing everything for Zhou Buqi to see.

Needless to say, it's exciting and exciting.

Sister Sistine laughed at her, "Sophia, idiot, you're gone!"

Sophia's eyes were a bit sly, as if she despised the second sister Sistine's low intelligence.

Her mother ran over decisively, blocking her daughter's spring.

Stallone has spent his whole life in flowers, how can he not understand what is going on, so he said cautiously: "Zhou, if you want to date Sophia, you have to wait a few more years."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, "When the child grows up, we still have to give her some freedom."

"She's still young."

"Ok?"

"Our vacation in Spain this time is to celebrate her 15th birthday."

"Cough...cough..."

Zhou Buqi almost died of fright.

15th birthday?

Is this too small?

Looks too mature, right?

He thought it was a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, she was slim and her waist and hips were well developed, but she was too young.

Such a young girl, not to mention he dare not touch it abroad, even in China he has never touched it.

After asking again, I found out that Sophia was born in 96, and Sistine was born in 98. She is only 13 years old this year, but she has grown up and is very feminine.

No wonder in the circle of rich people in Palm Beach, Miami, there are always rumors that many rich people like to associate with teenage girls... There is really a reason.

This time, Zhou Buqi couldn't covet his daughter anymore, and he and Stallone lay on the beach and chatted about work.

He received an email saying that Stallone had gotten close to Warner recently.

For some non-series films that have no expectations for the domestic market, Stallone seems to have no intention of cooperating with Ziweixing Universal, but chose Warner.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Buqi expressed his dissatisfaction.

Stallone's popularity back then was due to the "Rocky" series invested by MGM, and MGM is now a subsidiary of Ziweixing Universal.

Now, Ziwei Star Global helped him open up the domestic market... Well, he ran over to cooperate with Warner, isn't this revenge?

Stallone apologized again and again, saying that Warner had offered him an irresistible signing fee and wanted to sign him a contract for 5 movies.

"Sign with Summit Entertainment or MGM!"

There is no doubt about Zhou Buqi.

Depend on!
Can't get your daughter, can't get you?
