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

Chapter 64 Borrowing the Hand of Warner to Promote the Name of Domestic Movies

"So, Xu, are you going to choose Huashi Media to be in charge of overseas distribution and screening?"

He Feiyang asked.

"A little tangled."

Xu Nuo couldn't help frowning.

Warner only wanted to buy the overseas distribution rights of "Terminator" for US$1000 million, which was really too little for Xu Nuo.

But Xu Nuo had to consider another problem.

That is, if the overseas distribution rights of "Terminator" are given to Warner, with Warner's energy, it will naturally be unmatched by Huashi Media. When "Terminator" is released overseas, there will be a large scale of release.

In this way, more foreigners can know about the domestic sci-fi film "Terminator", as well as the producer Real Media Technology Company and director Xu Nuo behind it.

"Confused about what?"

He Feiyang was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Just now, Lao Xu gave Warner a piss, saying that the 1000 million dollars was for beggars, why are they getting entangled again now?

"Come on, A Fei, Guan Ju, Xiao Wen, let's hold a temporary meeting to discuss and see if my idea is right."

Xu Nuo called the three of them and prepared to hold a meeting to discuss.

To be precise, it was not three people, but two people, plus an AI Guanju.

"Boss, what is there to discuss? I think it should be Huashi. The key is that the money given by Warner is too little. "Terminator" has a box office of 20 billion in our country. Overseas The bigger the market, the more money you can definitely make."

Wen Ruohan expressed his thoughts on the phone.

"I think Old Xu may have deeper considerations."

He Feiyang knew Xu Nuo well.

Since there are entanglements, it means that even if Warner chooses to win overseas distribution, there are certain benefits.

And this benefit is definitely not limited to the $1000 million.

"Guan Ju, what is the box office data of our commercially-oriented domestic films released and released overseas?"

Xu Nuo consulted Guan Ju.

"Let me check. Sir, according to the box office data of domestic films released overseas over the years, 1 has a box office of more than 0 million U.S. dollars, 8000 has a box office of more than 1 million U.S. dollars, two have a box office of more than 5000 million U.S. dollars, and There are 2000 movies that made $5 million, and 1000 movies that grossed more than $15 million.”

He Feiyang also said at this time: "I know the three films with a box office of more than 5000 million US dollars. Two are the films of Li Mou, the national teacher, and the other is the film of Wang Zi'an."

"From this point of view, the performance of our domestic films in overseas markets is indeed not very good."

Xu Nuo touched his chin and muttered.

Only a famous national director like Li Mou can get a box office of more than 8000 million US dollars.

It can be seen how weak the competitiveness of domestic films in overseas markets is.

"Old Xu, do you mean that you are worried that "Terminator" will not perform well at the box office in overseas markets?"

"I actually believe that "Terminator" will definitely be much stronger than the performance of previous domestic films overseas, but our domestic films did not gain a foothold in overseas markets before this."

"Wait, I seem to understand, old Xu, you are thinking about "Transformers", right?
So you want to give the overseas distribution of "Terminator" to Warner first, and use Warner's energy to let "Terminator" help us expand overseas markets first, so that domestic films can have a foothold in the overseas film market? "

He Feiyang thought deeply for a moment, and suddenly understood what Lao Xu meant.

"Ah? Boss, Mr. He, what are you talking about?"

Wen Ruohan was almost dizzy by the words of the boss and Mr. He.

"Xiaowen, you are so stupid." He Feiyang said with a smile: "Lao Xu's thinking is indeed a deeper level than what we just did. We only see the immediate benefits, and if we take a long-term view, it will be clearer." .”

Wen Ruohan: "Emmmm I still don't understand."

"Guan Ju, if "Terminator" is released to Warner, if the overseas box office is at least [-] million US dollars, you can help me make a mathematical function model based on the overseas movie market development index, and predict the [-] million US dollars that "Terminator" will pass. How much box office market can it expand for "Transformers" when it is released overseas in the future?"

Xu Nuo gave Guan Ju a calculation task instruction.

"Let me try."

"Old Xu, Guan Ju can really count anything?"

"Didn't I give Guan Ju a hypothetical data? You are also a mathematics student. Given the data, it must be no problem to build a mathematical function model."

Xu Nuo rolled his eyes at He Feiyang, forgetting all his previous professional studies.

"That's true."

He Feiyang nodded, and at the same time defended himself: "It's been a few years since I graduated, and I don't use mathematics anymore."

"Boss, so you want to use Warner?"

At this time, on the phone, Wen Ruohan's belated voice came again.

Xu Nuo suddenly smiled and said, "Xiaowen, you have realized it."

Xu Nuo really wanted to use Warner's hand to let "Terminator" broaden the overseas market of domestic films.

Because if "Terminator" is released to Huashi Media, with the energy of Huashi Media, the scale of "Terminator" in overseas markets such as North America will definitely be relatively small.

In the past, Huashi Media was responsible for the overseas distribution of domestic films, which were basically based on the circle of overseas Chinese audiences, and it was obviously not enough to radiate to the gringos.

And if more foreigners want to see the domestic movie "Terminator" in cinemas, it really has to be a big Hollywood company.

1000 million US dollars will be given to Warner for the overseas distribution of "Terminator", although it does seem to be a bit of a disadvantage right now.

But from a long-term point of view, it is obviously beneficial to Xu Nuo.

Using "Terminator" to open up the overseas market of domestic films, then the "Transformers" I am shooting next will have a better overseas environment, and then I will let Huashi Media release it and sign a box office sharing agreement , with the market space established by "Terminator", it will be able to earn more box office for foreigners.

In the future, more films shot and produced by Xu Nuo will naturally be released around the world much more smoothly.

Anyway, Xu Nuo believes in the quality of his "Terminator" movie. Even if it is compared to Hollywood, it is at least above average.

Sell ​​it to Warner to expand overseas markets. Although it may lose some box office accounts, Xu Nuo is not short-sighted. A "Terminator" has opened up the reputation of domestic movies. When the next "Transformers" is released overseas , then it is estimated that the momentum is like a broken bamboo.

Conversely, if Huashi Media is only responsible for the distribution of "Terminator" this time, although it can sign the box office split and avoid buyout distribution, the scale of overseas releases will definitely not match the power of Warner.

If Xu Nuo is not famous as a director and works, what should he do when the next "Transformers" is released overseas?

Under the balance of the two phases, Xu Nuo had to make a choice that was more beneficial for the future.

"Sir, after establishing a mathematical function model based on the hypothetical data you gave, it is calculated that the overseas market size of "Transformers" will be at least 3.7 times larger than that of "Terminator".

Therefore, it can be concluded that choosing Huashi Media for distribution can take into account immediate interests.

And choosing Warner will have more long-term benefits. "

Guan Ju's voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

"It seems that Warner really has to take advantage of it once."

After Xu Nuo heard the words, he spread his hands.

"Boss, then I'll let the overseas operation department talk to Warner about the overseas distribution rights of "Terminator"?" Wen Ruohan asked the boss for confirmation.

"Well, yes, remember to tell Warner that the 1000 million dollars has been searched for a little bit, and you have to pay more."

Xu Nuo agreed.

Anyway, when it comes to overseas distribution, if you can add more money, it is still money, and no matter how few mosquito legs are, it is still meat, not to mention the money earned by Warner's grandson.

"Good."

"Talk about Lao Xu." He Feiyang suddenly came over again: "I've always been curious about how good Guan Ju is in arithmetic."

"Ok?"

When Xu Nuo heard this, he just replied calmly: "Just be very powerful."

"Then let Guan Ju do the math, how can our national football team win the World Cup?"

Guan Ju:.
