How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 270 Proposing the purpose of co-production
"so……"

Han Sanpin was a little confused, so he looked at Zhang Nan, not knowing the specific meaning of Zhang Nan's words.

"Now [Spider-Man] is in North America, and it has won a box office of [-] million US dollars in the first week. Sony Columbia is already preparing to release [Spider-Man] in the global movie market and start promoting it. I plan to Taking advantage of this shareholder trend, let the Asian film market keep up with Columbia's pace and release it simultaneously." Zhang Nan explained somewhat veiled.

As soon as Han Sanpin heard Zhang Nan's words, he knew that Zhang Nan wanted to adjust the release date of "Spiderman" in China.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, Director Zhang, you just call someone over and say hello to me."

At present, the total share of the domestic film market is not large, so the competition is not fierce, and only one Lunar New Year file can be competitive if it is full of money. For Zhang Nan's request to adjust the schedule of "Spider-Man", Han Sanpin doesn't care.

Originally, Zhang Nan came to Huaying for only one purpose, and that was to discuss with Han Sanpin and adjust the schedule of "Spiderman" for the simultaneous release of "Spiderman" in Asia.

But after seeing Chenglong's new "Tuxedo" this year and "Universal Pursuit" starring Wu Jin in the list of twenty imported films, Zhang Nan suddenly had some ideas in his heart.

"Actually, Mr. Han, I came here to ask about [Spiderman]'s schedule on the one hand, and on the other hand... I wonder if you have any ideas about co-productions?" Zhang Nan followed his own thoughts and said.

When Han Sanpin heard Zhang Nan's words, his eyes tended to shine.

Any ideas for co-productions?
Very thoughtful.

Since Zhang Nan started with the "Wuguan" series, many Hollywood film and television companies have come to the mainland to follow Zhang Nan's "Wuguan" model to make films, Han Sanpin has always wanted to reach out to these projects.

However, the film and television companies in Hollywood only want to maintain an ordinary cooperative relationship with Huaying, and do not want to become an equal co-production cooperation relationship with Huaying.

That is to say, they are only willing to spend money to make films in the mainland, and they are not willing to let Huaying get involved in film investment.

They don't even want Huaying to get involved in investment, let alone co-productions.

Because the mainland has a clear definition of co-productions, that is, the mainland needs to occupy at least 30.00% of the investment share in a movie.

And it’s not enough just to meet the investment quota, it also needs to be starring mainland artists, and the movie must be filmed in the mainland.

As soon as Zhang Nan came up with this wave, he set the cooperation at the level of co-productions. It was true that Han Sanpin was so excited that he almost stood up.

"There are ideas, too many ideas."

Don't think it's a bit outrageous for Han Sanpin to be so excited when he heard the word co-production, but it's not outrageous at all.

In terms of co-productions between the mainland and Hollywood in the original time and space, when it is doing well, it is close to 2020.

And it's not doing very well. The projects that Hollywood is willing to release shares and starring roles are all rubbish projects that are not expected.

At this time, the mainland film market is still in the stage of being invaded by Hollywood.

Hollywood basically has an overwhelming advantage over the mainland film market.

It is a pretty good political achievement if it can be turned into a co-production project.

"What project?"

Although very excited, Han Sanpin cautiously asked what the project was like.

"If nothing else happens, it will be a spin-off of the [Wuguan] series." Zhang Nan explained.

After Han Sanpin heard the words, his eyes lit up first, because the series of "Wuguan" is a world-renowned series, and Zhang Nan, who is currently regarded as the leading star in the world, is playing the leading role.

But Han Sanpin also knew that such a good thing would definitely not be Huaying's turn, after all, if it really could be, it would be when Zhang Nan hadn't gained momentum.

So Han Sanpin grasped the key points in Zhang Nan's words, and asked a little puzzled, "Spin-off film?"

"It is based on the [Wuguan] series of movies as the world view, and shoot some movies with other characters as the protagonists." Zhang Nan explained a little bit.

Han Sanpin is also a figure who has been in the film and television industry for a long time. From Zhang Nan's short explanation, he can understand the general idea.

Knowing that this is a spin-off film called "Wuguan" series, it is estimated that Zhang Nan will not star in it.

I'm afraid it will break the sky, that is, Zhang Nanlai came to play.

The entire spin-off film is probably a project that uses the name of the [Wuguan] series and finds other people to star in it.

"The reason why I did this is because I have made three films in the [Wuguan] series, and now I want to withdraw slowly, but a successful series like [Wuguan] has a lot of fame and a lot of fans. It is also a waste of resources to leave it there and not make a sequel.

Moreover, Zhou Jie and Wu Jin, who I have signed, have been doing well in Hollywood for the past two years, so I plan to let Zhou Jie and Wu Jin take my place in it, give it a try, and see the two of them Who can top the [Wuguan] series.

At present, my plan for the derivative films of the [Wuguan] series is not to invest too much, and the amount of 5000 to [-] million US dollars is enough. "Zhang Nan continued to explain.

As for Han Sanpin, listening to Zhang Nan's words, he felt a little disgusted with the trilogy of "Martial Arts", a series of movies that have hit the global box office with a box office of more than one billion US dollars, and this person felt a little sour.

If Huaying can have such a series of films, don't rush to say that you dislike it and don't want to make three films.

Huaying can take pictures forever.

"Then...how much share can Huaying get?" Han Sanpin asked with focus.

In the definition of a co-production film, it is natural that mainland funds need to account for one-third, but... the spin-off film of the [Martial Art Museum] series was produced by Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan naturally wanted to have a hand in it.

Zhang Nan's money can also be counted as mainland funds.

"Then let's see how much Han can pay?" Zhang Nan asked rhetorically.

Han Sanpin was taken aback when he heard the words, what do you mean?No investment restrictions?

Zhang Nan continued to explain: "I plan to first create two films based on the situation of Zhou Jie and Wu Jin. This is 9000 or [-] million, a total investment of nearly [-] million US dollars. The current liquidity of Huaying, How much can you take out?"

Han Sanpin felt a little numb when he heard the words.

According to Huaying's current strength, if it really is desperate.

Not to mention 9000 to [-] million US dollars, even [-] to [-] million US dollars, it is not impossible to get it out.

But...if the movie fails, then he might not be able to sit in this position anymore.

"Anyway, the project is still in the preliminary stage. I'm here today to chat with you, Mr. Han, to see if you're interested, and the specific share. We can wait for a while to talk about it in detail. If you really have an idea , you can raise more money during this period, and then take more shares.”

Seeing that it was difficult for Han Sanpin to give a specific share right now, Zhang Nan didn't insist on Han Sanpin giving a figure right now.

"That's a good relationship." Han Sanpin felt a lot relieved when he heard the words, but he also secretly made a decision in his heart that he had to raise more money during this time.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Nan left.

After getting in the car, Zhang Nan leaned on the back seat and began to think about his actions just now, whether there was anything wrong.

After thinking about it for a while, he found that there was nothing wrong, so Zhang Nan stopped thinking about it.

Zhang Nan had already planned the [Martial Arts] spin-off film when Cheng Long gave him advice.

But originally Zhang Nan planned to make it himself.

Now change the plan and start to pull Huaying into the venue.

It is because of the distribution channel in his hand, with the growth of these years, the scale has increased a lot, but it has also caused a lot of pressure on Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan urgently needs a large number of film projects to make the distribution channel in his hand There are movies to play.

Otherwise, the scale and capacity of distribution channels in his hands will be reduced and reduced.

This is also why the Hollywood giants continue to open new projects even though sometimes the movies are not making money or losing money at all?
It is because of the theaters and distribution channels all over the world, but they cannot be idle for a moment.

If you are idle, it will be a huge waste of funds.

Zhang Nan's distribution channel is not bad.

Because the relationship between these distribution channels and Zhang Nan is like a franchisee and the head office.

Those 'franchisees' rent stores, decorate, recruit personnel, and sell Zhang Nan's goods (movies) by themselves.

And Zhang Nan, the main store, is responsible for providing or finding sources of goods for franchisees.

And the source of goods you are looking for can be different brands, such as Warner, Disney, Universal...etc.

However, the distribution channels of the Hollywood giants basically only distribute their own movies.

Because regardless of the Hollywood giants, everyone in front of the stage is hello, me, hello, everyone, but behind the scenes, they all want the other party to lose money and go bankrupt, and then dominate the market by themselves.
