Big names rise

In Oda Ikeuchi's view, as Chinese-language historical blockbusters are gradually cast aside by the international market, discovering new themes and cultivating international stars are definitely the two most important things to inspire domestic films, and "Zi Bu Yu" has both. The story of "No Words" is unique, unique and sincere in today's Chinese films.He has seen the grand occasion of "Leng Xin" a few days ago, and he has reason to believe that He Mu after "Leng Xin" is absolutely different from He Mu before "Leng Xin". The title of "Big Star" is remembered by Americans, and a Montreal actor is remembered by Canada, then he will definitely become the new spokesperson of Chinese stars in Hollywood, and his self-directed and self-acted "Zi Bu Yu" will definitely rise.

Before He Mu became famous, "One Shot 147" still had a box office of 300 million US dollars in North America, but after he became famous, "Zi Bu Yu" made with painstaking efforts must be more worth looking forward to. Can rely on the box office to recover the cost, Japan or the United States is not the box office accounted for a small part, v, movie channels, website authorization and other derivatives are all important links in the film industry chain, and the value they can create is not worse than the box office, so " "Zi Bu Yu" is still worth taking a gamble.

"I'm willing to pay $800 million!" Oda Ikeuchi gritted his teeth, "but I also want the copyrights of Asian countries other than mainland China and Hong Kong." No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat, and the copyrights of those small Asian countries can still recover some capital.

Jeff played the spoiler again, "I also paid 800 million, and I still only want the copyrights in Japan and North America."

"You!" Oda Ikeuchi was a little annoyed, "Mr. Stark, as far as I know, your Rubik's Cube Films has just been established. I'm afraid you can't afford the money, and you don't have the ability to distribute overseas."

Jeff smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about this. If you can't distribute it overseas, we can find other companies to cooperate with. I believe it will be profitable. As for the funds, don't worry about it. Our company's "Cold Heart" and Touchstone Publishing Company The only way to cooperate is to share the accounts, I believe that the 800 million US dollars in box office share can still be obtained."

When Jeff mentioned "Cold Heart", Odachi paused in his heart, if "Cold Heart" became popular in North America.He Mu will definitely become popular in the United States like a rocket.At that time, "Zi Bu Yu"... "1000 million, I will pay 1000 million US dollars! But I hope to get the copyright of the film in Japan, North America, Latin America and Asia except China and Hong Kong." Oda still wants some relief. First, Oda is very determined to spend such a large sum of money.At the beginning, the copyright of "House of Flying Daggers" in North America and Japan cost more than 2000 million yuan, and I thought it was a bargain. Now I only spent 1000 million yuan to win so many regions, but I am still worried that I will lose money. It’s not the same thing over there. Moreover, the times are different, the mainland market is developing rapidly, and Chinese-language films are becoming more and more dependent on the mainland market.However, the overseas performance is getting worse and worse, and it turns out that Chinese-language movies are harder to sell overseas.

At this time, Jeff winked at He Mu, indicating that he is almost done. From the $500 million global (except the mainland) buyout, to the current $1000 million copyright transaction for only a few regions, in just a few minutes, "Zibu" Language" more than doubled its value.With this money, He Mu can now directly shoot "Zi Bu Yu" 2 and 3.

He Mu also felt that it was almost done, and he had recovered all his investment and made so much money. It seemed that he really made a good movie, and it seemed that movies were indeed a very lucrative industry.But the next moment He Mu changed his mind again. [

Zhang Meng just answered a phone call, and then said a few words to He Mu, and then He Mu apologized to Oda Ikeuchi, "Sorry, I decided to keep the Japanese copyright, and the rest of North America, Latin America, and most of Asia I can sell the copyright to Sony for only 500 million."

"why?!"

"Because "Zi Bu Yu" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of Tokyo International Film Festival in your country, I hope to find a company that is willing to cooperate with our company in Japan on a sharing basis and is willing to help promote the film during the film festival. "

……

He Mu attaches great importance to this year's Toronto Film Festival. During the ten days of the festival, he has basically been in Toronto. He not only promoted the Hollywood thriller "Cold Heart" he participated in for the first time, but also promoted and sold the Chinese fantasy film "Zi Zi" he directed and acted in. Silence", and also helped to sell the copyright of "Girls in Art School" in several countries, including Japan and South Korea, which can be regarded as a small gain. Lao Tao is busy filming "Girls in Art School 2", so naturally he came to No, he can only do it for him.

Toronto did not come in vain this time. Sony bought the copyrights of North America, Latin America, and most countries in Asia at a price of 500 million US dollars, which in He Mu's view, was handed over to Sony Classics for distribution, and reached an agreement with Sony in Japan. In the film accounting agreement, Sony is solely responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film in Japan, including the promotion at the East Film Festival, which means that He Mu does not need to invest a penny in the distribution in Japan, and of course the corresponding share ratio will be low Not a lot, only 25%, which is lower than the minimum 30% share of Hollywood movies in Japan.

After leaving Toronto, He Mu did not go back to China directly, but went to the United States to visit Mr. Doug Lawrence, the vice president and general manager of the production department of Universal Pictures. As one of the six major Hollywood film companies, Universal Pictures The industry has "The Mummy", "Fast and Furious" and other blockbuster series, and is one of the most powerful companies in Hollywood. He Mu came here this time for "Fast and Furious".

He Mu, who has food in his hands and does not panic, decided to start the "Big Card" project ahead of schedule in Toronto. "The object of drag racing has been changed from a sports car to a variety of trucks. This will be a unique movie, a real big-budget movie.Shuimu Senlin and his family alone can’t make it work. The production cost is not the main problem. Several of the company’s films are box office hits, especially "Zi Bu Yu" has already paid off. Don’t worry about money. The biggest problem is technology. , How to focus on the focus of drag racing movies, how to make the audience's adrenal glands soar through overtaking and impact, how to ensure the safety of the actors during shooting, there are too many ways to learn, and there are too many things to learn.

There are very few domestic teams that are capable of producing the effect He Mu wants. Even the relatively successful "Initial Character" at the beginning was more skillful than passionate, and did not meet He Mu's requirements. If you want to make progress by yourself, The price to be paid is too high, why not cooperate with Universal Pictures, which has a lot of experience in filming this type of film, to achieve great things with the least cost...
