Chapter 380 Ah, Falken Kedimi

"Hello, Fred, by the way, my yard is full of your dog's poop, I don't like it very much!" Fu Luo calmly greeted Fred on the screen in front of him.

Well, he's not crazy, he's not crazy, he's just dubbing another animated movie.

"Oh, Gru, I'm sorry, but dogs are like this, they like to wander around." Soon, there was a middle-aged white man with a big beard, sitting beside him, reciting lines with Fu Luo's dubbing.

"It would be right if the dog died? Haha, hahaha!!! OK, just kidding!!!"

Following the rhythm, Fu Luo leaned forward a little, and quickly finished the first half of the sentence with his head tilted, then paused for a second, then laughed exaggeratedly, completely following the animation character. This is also more vivid with the starting sound.

"Very well, Fu, let's try another tone again."

"OK!"

When he heard the voice of the animation director Pierre Coffin on the other side of the glass, Fu Luo responded with an "OK" gesture.

By the way, the animated film he is dubbing at the moment is called "Yang Ying's Me", uh... "Despicable Me", that's right, the animated film that created the minions.

He was quite surprised to receive this dubbing invitation suddenly. In addition, Fu Luo himself liked this animation movie very much, and he was able to get a reward of 200 million US dollars. In the end, he rushed to the United States temporarily in his own private jet , preparing to dub the protagonist Gru.

And the dubbing salary of 200 million US dollars is estimated to have reached the peak in Hollywood. It is more cost-effective than making a movie. For example, this time, he will dub the voice for about three days, with an average of more than 60 per day. USD remuneration.

If it is a movie, even if you can get a salary of 2000 million US dollars, and based on the 90-day construction period, you can only get 22.22222222... unlimited 2 US dollars in salary every day, which is about three times lower.

As for why Universal asked him to dub the protagonist, Fu Luo had faintly heard the investigative report on him from Hollywood, probably the works with his dubbing, generally bring 10-30% of the total box office in Asia. The growth rate, the current benefits, and the fact that dubbing is only a behind-the-scenes job don't have too many limitations. You just need to be able to speak English, so it doesn't seem surprising that he will be found.

Not to mention, Fu Luo is cooperating with Universal to film the movie "Crime", and the relationship can be said to be in the honeymoon period. No, when he spent three days dubbing "Despicable Me", the chairman of Universal Adam Ferguson asked him to have dinner together and talked to him about a new deal.

"So, Chairman Ferguson means that he wants to sell the screening rights of "Despicable Me" in China to our sand dunes?" After putting down the napkin in his hand that wiped the corner of his mouth, Fu Luo asked the Universal Chairman Adam very unexpectedly - Ferguson.

"Of course, Mr. Fu, I heard that the relationship between Sand Dune and China Film Group is very good. I believe that after some operation, you should be able to easily get a spot, right?"

In fact, even if the deal is concluded, it is estimated that there is not much money. It seems that Adam Ferguson, the chairman of the world, does not need to personally act, but the status of the person in front of him is not low. Not to mention that the other party is now a Hollywood star. Well, just because the other party has invested tens of millions of dollars in "Union of Crimes" at one go, he can completely sit on an equal footing with him, the chairman of the world.

After all, he only works for Universal, and the president and chief operating officer Lang Meyer is under pressure, not to mention the parent company behind him. In fact, Adam Ferguson is actually an executive, and his wealth is in front of Fu Luo Also a piece of shit.

In the end, he still has to face the competition from co-chairman Donna Langley, that hottie. The pressure is still great. Maybe the position of chairman will be lost. No matter how small it is, you can always get a little meat.

Then it was also because "Despicable Me" did not get the quota for importing from China this time. Just taking advantage of the opportunity that Fu Luo came to record in the United States this time, he played Xiaojiujiu. After all, this is a pure Chinese, and he is still a The Chinese who have great influence in China, as he said, have a good relationship with China Film, so they should be able to easily get an import quota.

"Ha, it seems that Chairman Ferguson knows quite a lot, so how much do you plan to sell me the screening rights?" Adam Ferguson asked directly, and Fu Luo answered directly. To communicate with Westerners, you need to be direct. .

To be honest, Fu Luo really doesn’t know if the movie "Despicable Me" has ever been released in China, but judging by Adam Ferguson's posture, it should not be. It is "Despicable Me 2" in China has sold more than 5000 million US dollars at the box office, which is not particularly good, but it is not bad either.

Then Fu Luo naturally knows what Adam Ferguson said about the quota. Imported films in China are generally divided into two types: "account split" and "batch film". The movie bought by the Chinese film studio is that movie. Of course, these movies must also consider the issue of review, otherwise they will be ruined.

Among the "reviewed films", the more famous ones are probably "Iron Man 3" and "The Expendables" series. As soon as "The Expendables" was mentioned, Fu Luo also felt a little nervous. The first part of this series was screened in China. Quan seems to be only 20 US dollars, the absolute price of potatoes, if you don't get involved, you are simply inhumane. It just so happens that you are in the United States this time, so maybe you can go find out the news.

To be honest, Fu Luo really didn't expect to come to these places before, and now he heard Adam Ferguson mentioning it, and he found a new way of making money, but doing the "approval" business is still risky. Every film can get a high box office, and there are not too many examples of hitting the street.

He can be regarded as a foresight, among other things, "The Expendables" must not be let go, and this time "Despicable Me" can also be considered, as long as Adam Ferguson's bid is reasonable.

"500 million!" Adam Ferguson said without hesitation when he heard Fu Luo's words.

"Ah, there's Falken Kedi Rice!"

Fu Luo really wanted to utter this sentence, but as a civilized person, he changed his words when he was about to say it: "RMB?"

"NO, Mr. Fu is really humorous, of course it is US dollars!"

It is said that 500 million yuan is less than 100 million US dollars, Adam Ferguson thinks that Fu Luo is simply joking.

"Chairman Ferguson, $500 million is too much. I can offer $50 at most!" Hearing this, Fu Luo shrugged indifferently, and directly reported the expected figure in his heart.

In other words, this "Despicable Me" has never been released in China, and it is the first movie to appear, and it is not a sequel to a blockbuster work. The series of movies sold very well in memory, and even made the minions famous all over the world.

"300 million, Mr. Fu, this is already the lowest expected price in my heart!"

The offer of 50 US dollars made Adam Ferguson almost twist his beard. Although he didn't grow a beard, did he come to negotiate a deal as high as 50 US dollars?
"One million, this is also the highest price in my heart."

Seeing that Adam Ferguson's price cut is still relatively large, Fu Luo also simply increased it to 100 million, not a hundred thousand or one hundred thousand.

Although it is not a problem for him to really give 500 million US dollars, spending money and investing are two different things, and they must not be confused. After all, business is business, and one dollar must be fought for.

"Oh, my God, Mr. Fu, you are really good at bargaining, 200 million, this is really the last time I give in!" Adam Ferguson felt a little "stomach pain" at the moment, and he seemed to have encountered a particularly difficult situation. The entangled guy is really tired.

"1000 million...RMB, Chairman Ferguson, I can only increase the price to this point!"

Here, Fu Luo played a trick. The psychological impact caused by the figure of 1000 million must be much greater than the proportion of about 150 million US dollars.

"Cheng... President Fu, you are really... well, just 1000 million yuan, let's make a deal."

After hearing the figure of 1000 million, Adam Ferguson almost uttered the word "deal", but it turned out that the unit was RMB. The Chinese people are too cunning.

But after thinking about it, he decided to sell the screening rights of "Despicable Me" in China at a price of about 150 million U.S. dollars. In a place where it is impossible to make money, there will be an accident of 150 million U.S. dollars The income is already considered good, and it is better than no money at all.

"make a deal!"

In fact, Fu Luo also wanted to say that he himself was still a little too impulsive, maybe he should take it easy and insist on the $100 million price.

But now that he has spent 1000 million RMB, he has to earn at least 3000 million RMB at the box office in China to make a profit. Otherwise, it is a loss-making business, and he has to bear the risk of whether he can pass the trial, but they have all been sold. It seems that We can only look at the results, presumably it works properly and should not lose money.
