Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 63 Overseas Distribution and Screening of "Terminator"

After the five-day shooting mission at the base was over, Xu Nuo was going to participate in an urban science and technology fair held in Yuzhou at the end of the month.

This has been confirmed with the city government building long ago.

The purpose of participating in the City Science and Technology Expo is not to display the advanced technology of real media technology companies at the Expo, but to participate in the "Smart City AI System" bidding conference held during the Expo.

At that time, many domestic Internet technology companies will participate.

In fact, this bidding meeting is just a process.

The city government building in Yuzhou has basically decided to use Xu Nuo's AI system, but such a large project cannot be directly decided by default.

Therefore, a bidding meeting for smart city projects was held, and companies such as Goose Factory and Byte Luantiao also participated.

For them, results are not important, but participation is important.

After all, there has been news from the city government building that Xu Nuo's AI system has not only been ordered by the space agency, but also by the military.

Therefore, the Yuzhou City Government Building knows that only by using Xu Nuo's AI system can Yuzhou be truly built into a smart city.

And if Xu Nuo's AI system is successful in building a smart city pilot in Yuzhou, then major cities across the country will have to buy AI systems from Xu Nuo if they want to build smart city projects.

Sell ​​a set to Yuzhou.

Sell ​​another set to Shucheng next door.

If these two cities want to establish a twin-city economic circle, they will definitely need the Xunuo AI system.

In this way, the money to build a large hydropower station with a total installed capacity of 30 kw is enough.

Xu Nuo's calculations can be said to be rattling.

"Okay, Guan Ju, then increase the hydropower station with an installed capacity of 10 kw originally planned and designed to a scale of 30 kw."

Xu Nuo decided to adopt Guan Ju's suggestion.

Afterwards, Xu Nuo found the number of Secretary Wang of the City Comprehensive Management Office in the address book of his mobile phone, and called him.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, is your company ready for the bidding meeting at the end of the month?"

After Secretary Wang answered the phone, he immediately asked about it.

"The bidding document and the AI ​​system are all ready on my side. Don't worry, Secretary Wang. I'm looking for you to ask about another matter."

"President Xu, what are you talking about?"

"That's right. Our company is considering the future development, and now we need to apply for the construction of a hydropower station. Do you think it is difficult for the city hall to approve this matter?"

"Hydropower station?"

Secretary Wang was a little puzzled, wondering what the hydropower station has to do with a media technology company of yours.

But soon, Secretary Wang thought of something, could it be because of Xu Nuo's AI technology development needs?
"Yes, our company wants to build its own supercomputer, and the future development of the company will also need a lot of electric energy resources. Considering the cost of industrial electricity, we plan to build a corporate hydropower station, and have already submitted an application to the Water Resources Department. intention."

"So that's the case, then I think the city government building will definitely support you, Mr. Xu, and I remember that if private enterprises build hydropower stations, as long as they reach a certain scale, they will also have preferential support in terms of policies. .”

"It would be great to have a lot of support from the City Hall."

While Xu Nuo was talking about the hydropower station with Secretary Wang, a phone call came in from his assistant Wen Ruohan, but Xu Nuo ignored it for the time being and continued to talk about things with Secretary Wang.

"Then Secretary Wang, thank you for the city hall building."

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome. We'll see you at the City Science and Technology Expo at the end of the month. Oh, by the way, our office will discuss it with the City Hall Secretariat. Maybe we can arrange a short meeting between you and City Lord Li at the fair. .”

Secretary Wang has a premonition that although Xu Nuo's company is not large at present, it may become a representative high-tech enterprise in Yuzhou City in the future.

"Really? That's really thanks to Secretary Wang."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo sat on the bed and thought about it.

This Secretary Wang really has vision and knows that his company has unlimited potential.

After a while, Xu Nuo called his assistant Wen Ruohan: "Xiaowen, what's the matter?"

"Boss, there are some company matters that need to be reported to you. You are too busy during the day, so I can only ask if you have time at this moment?"

"Hmm, what's the matter? Tell me."

If it's just some small matter of the company, then Wen Ruohan can handle it by himself.

Since he is calling himself at this moment, it is probably something more important for some companies.

"It's such a boss, the company has made some progress on the overseas distribution and release of "Terminator"."

Wen Ruohan reported very skillfully.

The overseas distribution and release of "Terminator" is indeed more important for real media technology companies.

Because this is Xu Nuo's first work to enter the overseas film market.

If the films shot by Xu Nuo were only released in China, it would be a real loss. After all, there is still a gap between the domestic film market and the global film market.

What's more, this kind of sci-fi blockbuster shot by Xu Nuo belongs to the mainstream movie genre all over the world.

There is definitely competition.

Many film companies in Hollywood also often make various types of commercial blockbusters, which are screened globally and harvested at the box office. There are not a few Hollywood movies with a box office of more than one billion US dollars.

So Xu Nuo naturally wants to open the door to overseas markets.

Besides, the "Terminator" I filmed and the "Transformers" I am filming are also Hollywood movies on the original earth.

It's just that Xu Nuo made some localized adaptations.

"Which company did you find for distribution?"

Xu Nuo asked curiously, turned on the speakerphone by the way, and asked He Feiyang to listen to see if he had any good references.

After all, his experience in distribution and release must be much richer than his own.

I am mainly responsible for making movies.

Therefore, Xu Nuo handed over the overseas distribution and release of "Terminator" to the company's overseas operation department from the beginning.

"Boss, this is where the problem lies. Overseas Operations Department reported two proposals."

"Two options?"

"Yes, the first plan is to find Huashi Media, which has rich experience in distributing domestic films overseas."

At this time, He Feiyang on the bed next door suddenly said: "Old Xu, I know Huashi Media, in the past ten years or so, most of the domestically produced films that went overseas were released and released overseas by Huashi, but you also know that domestic movies The film's overseas box office harvesting ability is still very poor at present, and the scale of Huashi's distribution and release cannot be as large as that of large overseas companies."

After Xu Nuo heard the words, he probably understood: "Does it mean that if we ask Huashi Media to be in charge of overseas distribution, the scale of release will be relatively small?"

"For the boss, the plan submitted by the overseas operation department is just like this. Due to the small scale of the show, it is estimated that the box office results will not be too optimistic, but Huashi signed with us to share the overseas box office."

Wen Ruohan said.

"Actually, it doesn't matter even if the release scale is small. We can use "Terminator" to test the waters to see how popular the commercial films we make are for gringos, because relatively speaking, overseas attendance may be more important. .”

He Feiyang analyzed it.

Xu Nuo felt the same, so he asked again: "That means that if you find a big overseas company, like Warner and Sony, it will be a copyright buyout, right?"

"Almost like that."

He Feiyang nodded and said, "It depends on whether you choose to share the overseas box office, or choose a one-off deal."

"Boss, the second plan is to sign an overseas distribution agreement with Warner Corporation. They are willing to spend a sum of money to buy the overseas distribution rights of "Terminator."

"how much is it?"

"One million dollars."

When Xu Nuo heard it, he immediately said with disdain: "Bah, Garbage Warner, where are you going to send the beggar?"
