China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 65 Premium, Partners

"It is reported that Guan Ling will join forces with China Film Group and [-]th Century Fox Film Company to create a true Hollywood-style blockbuster! The investment amount is [-] million!"

The comments below are all very interesting.

"Twenty million dollars, what do you call a blockbuster? It's really funny."

"Is there a possibility that when a film is made in the United States, the company will pay for it?"

"Two hundred million dollars? Can Guan Ling make such a blockbuster? It's really funny."

There are a lot of news on the Internet, but everyone has no idea about the various contents and news about the movie.

The plot has not been revealed, and Guan Ling is on guard.

Before the film was shot and released, one of their promotional points was to spread rumors around the world.Let doomsday theories have an audience.

In fact, it is not a complete rumor. The purpose is to publicize the doomsday predicted by the Mayans around the world. As long as there are trolls, this is not difficult.

Just like a lot of 1450 in later generations, it is too easy for big and wealthy companies to spend some money to spread the word of doomsday on the Internet around the world.

Thousands of years ago, the Mayans of Central America predicted in the Mayan holy book "Pop'u" that the end of the fifth solar period would be December 2012, 12.

Now this rumor has appeared, but there are relatively few people saying it, but the closer to this time in the previous life, the more people believed it.

Guan Ling vaguely remembered that because of this doomsday rumor in his previous life, he went to the two girls in the morning and afternoon to applaud each other to welcome the doomsday, adding some "courage essence" to them to resist fear.

Guan Ling felt that if he participated in spreading rumors in his life, he would be providing moral support to many young girls who dare not take action.

This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and is also conducive to film promotion.

"I'm such a good person." Guan Ling feels that he is quite great. Maybe this rumor can reduce the pace of China's aging.

During the movie review, Guan Ling asked the radio and television to keep the review project confidential for the time being. With Guan Ling's current level, it is relatively easy to avoid leaking the plot of a project.

On the portal website, this message was pinned to the top.

Fox has actually had in-depth discussions with China Film. As the only major company in China with import rights, Fox does not want to make enemies, and China Film is relatively certain that Guan Linglai will direct this movie.This was obtained by Han Sanpin's hard work. He saw the script and the storyboards. Han Sanpin needed a major commercial film director from the mainland to control this Hollywood drama, and Guan Ling was the best choice.

Fox agreed, but let Guan Ling resolve the investment issue first.Their investment may not be paid out until a month or two later.

Guan Ling knew that the other party wanted to see the feedback on "Hearing Girl".

Once "Hearing Girl" hits the market, Fox will not necessarily breach the contract.

After China Film confirmed that they wanted to invest, they held meetings for two more days. On the third day, Han Sanpin called Guan Ling.

"China Film Group will invest one-fifth of the US$[-] million share." Han Sanpin was a little tired. "From my point of view, I want to take more, but the group does not agree. This is the largest amount I can strive for. "

After a pause, he said: "Guan Ling, if nothing else happens, I will be promoted to the chairman of the group soon. If you mess up, that's pretty much it for me. Do you understand what I mean?"

"From now on, if you want to contact people to participate in investment, you can talk to them yourself if it's convenient for you. If it's not convenient, China Film Group will help you talk to them. But don't worry, you will be given the green light in every aspect of this movie. I only hope that you Do not disappoint me."

Guan Ling didn't expect Han Sanpin to have such a gambling spirit.

It seems that this guy is really thinking hard about the Chinese film industry. He dreams of making a blockbuster movie appear in Chinese films!
He didn't know that the reason why Han Sanpin had so much confidence in the current domestic film industry was because he saw the potential. RB's "Spirited Away" in 2001 took in a box office of 17.4 billion yuan. This was only RB's domestic box office. !

Although the subsequent Japan-US co-production of the Final Fantasy movie version invested US$1.37 million, it ultimately failed miserably.

But that's also RB's ability. They have the courage to vote, but Mainland China has not made such an attempt so far!

"I'm going to attract Shangying and Shanying at the official level, as well as private companies. Let's see whoever pays the highest price gets it." Guan Ling and Han Sanpin said.

"You're so brave, you're trying to get the government to sell tiger skins, and you want to pay a premium with private companies. Aren't you afraid that they don't have the guts?" Han Sanpin guessed what Guan Ling wanted to do on the other end of the phone, "But most of the investors in Shanying are Why do you think of bringing them to art films and TV series?”

"Isn't this giving back to my hometown? There are too few art academies in Shandong Province, and there is no experience in making commercial films. Ask them if they want to do it. If they don't want to, I won't go there."

Guan Ling actually took a fancy to the potential of Shanying. Although Shanying is not outstanding now, it has a lot of talents. Every year, CCTV's high-quality dramas have elements of Shanying. Ling Yun will definitely borrow it into the field of TV dramas in the future. That means With a steady stream of cash flow.

In many dramas, it is impossible for Guan Ling to do it himself.

Therefore, choosing a partner is necessary.

Shanying is a good choice, but once the cooperation is good, Guan Ling will definitely seek to set up a joint venture with Shanying and list it separately, just like the noon sunshine in the previous life, so as to maintain Guan Ling's own interests.

In fact, Guan Ling was planning to make a fool of himself.But he wouldn't say this to Han Sanpin.As a young director from Lu Province in his previous life, Guan Ling had constraints in everything he did.It's purely because it's a one-man gang and can't get into the big circle. If you mention that it's from Lu Province, it will ask for more money from you.

China's literary and artistic circles can be mainly divided into BJ literary and artistic circles, northwest circles, northeast circles, Hong Kong circles and Taiwan circles.

Although there are many celebrities in Shandong Province, there is no Lu circle. Most of them work alone or integrate into various existing circles.

At this time, Guan Ling wanted to pull the mountain shadow, which really served multiple purposes.

Guan Ling called Mr. Ren from Shanghai Film Festival. Last time at the Shanghai International Film Festival, Mr. Ren took him to drink a lot of tea.

"Director Guan, I was just about to call you when your call came in. What is said on the Internet is true. Do you have a project in Hollywood?"

The Shanghai Film Group, now led by Ren Zhonglun, is a partner of Hollywood Warner and has always cooperated. Wang Jiawei even went to Hollywood to shoot English-language movies, and there were more than one, with box office sales of between 2000 and [-] million US dollars.

Wang Jiawei is the first person to make money from art films at the box office and copyrights, and I really don’t know who the second one is at SIPG.

"Really, I called just to talk to you."

Guan Ling finished the news with China Film Group, and then talked about the general content of the movie. Ren Zhonglun was stunned for a while. At first, Ren Zhonglun took the investment cost as a joke, but at the moment, he was a little confused.

Judging from the way Guan Ling talks, the cost of [-] million US dollars is not groundless.

After getting the exact answer from Guan Ling, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time from Mr. Ren, "Is it okay for Shanghai Film to participate in a share investment of US$2000 million?"

"Mr. Ren, the maximum is 1000 million." Guan Ling said, "There are also some private film companies that I would like to cooperate with."

"China Film invested 4000 million, and Shanghai Film can only invest 1000 million." Ren Zhonglun couldn't laugh or cry, "You are making me feel itchy."

But Guan Ling was very determined. He, Ling Yun, would definitely invest heavily in this movie, and he would not be able to share much with Shanghai Film.

He contacted Shanying again, which was still called Shandong Film and TV Series Production Center at this time. Shanying's director Jin Liang answered Guan Ling's call.

Guan Ling's famous name Shanying had heard about it, and he was very surprised. Jin Liang went to find the leader in a panic.

The leader was a little excited.

"Ah, Director Guan, are you from Shandong Province? Blame me, blame me. If I had known that you were from Shandong Province, I would have contacted you first. I'm so sorry, Director Guan has a good project and still misses us Shanying. Thank you so much . We will cooperate more in the future. If you have any movies, director, please contact me at any time. We will definitely work hard to cooperate."

The two parties got to know each other in Shandong dialect for a long time, and finally settled on an investment of 500 million US dollars. Shanying was quite poor, so he said he had already gritted his teeth with this money.

"Director Guan wants to have more cooperation in the future? Of course, we also need an excellent director like Director Guan as a partner. Shanying is too short of talents. This is caused by the talent problem. What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent!"

The leaders there were very enthusiastic about Guan Ling, and they were really looking forward to making movies with Guan Ling.

In fact, Shanying is quite strong, but it mainly focuses on TV series. It has been a long time since they started making movies. They made "Kong Fansen". At that time, they thought that 6000 million party members would watch it and it could create a box office of 1.2 million. Later, they only sold it. 3600 million.

TV series are quite famous.

"The Great Dyestuff", "I Am Not a Hero", "Butterfly Transformation", "Railway Guerrillas", "The Change of Time", "The Prodigal Son Yan Qing", "Crossing the Guandong", these TV series have been released and completed. The top quality is good.

Do they not want to invest in movies?No channel!

Those who work in production know that TV dramas do make a lot of money, but their status is low.This cannot be changed.

So Guan Ling took the initiative to cooperate, and Shanying was pleasantly surprised.

Wang Changtian of Guangxian Media was the first private enterprise CEO to call Guan Ling’s mobile phone. The loss of Liu Yan made Wang Changtian realize a problem, Guan Ling’s ability to turn stone into gold!

So this time Guangxian was very decisive.

Guan Ling did not refuse to die, he said that there would definitely be a premium, so everyone must be mentally prepared.

The Emperor also called. Rather than fighting in the ring with Guan Ling, they felt that cooperating with Guan Ling might be a better way.

Not to mention Bona’s Yu Dong, he had already prepared for it. Regardless of the premium, Bona would also have to take a share. Yu Dong tasted the sweetness of the investment in "Hearing Girl". The investment of 200 million US dollars has doubled. three times!It was as fast as grabbing money.

When Bona was asked to exchange the 600 million U.S. dollars directly for a 400 million share, Yu Dong didn't bat an eyelid, and it was his grandson who blinked.

There are also two new investment targets, one is Ye Ning from Wanda Cinemas, and the other is Yan Yu from Dadi Cinemas.

The two men came to discuss cooperation.
