I want to make headlines

Chapter 715
"Transformers 4" is Paramount's signature work, with a global box office of 10.87 billion US dollars, a North American box office of 2.45 million, and a Chinese box office of 19.79 billion Chinese dollars.

"Love What I Love" didn't pursue the benchmark too much at the beginning, because its domestic box office was really amazing, but with the green light all the way in the North American market, both Paramount and Fox were surprised to find that, In terms of global box office performance, "Love What I Love" has relatively sufficient stamina.

Although China's box office is far behind the opponent's box office, North America's catch-up still makes people look forward to it. Maybe the world can break one billion US dollars?Maybe, if you work hard, you can surpass "Transformers 4"?
Unfortunately, the final box office stopped at $10.3 billion.

Well, this is the number announced to the outside world. In fact, this number should be 9.8 million, which is 4 million dollars short of "Transformers [-]".

Even so, Paramount and Fox are still overjoyed. Although the box office is unmatched, the production cost of "Love What I Love" is lower than that of "Transformers 4", and the profit is almost a tie .

Paramount, as the co-producer of the two works, is most aware of this point, and it was they who actively proposed to hold a meeting with the management to exchange the gains and losses this time.

Paramount, Fox, Huayi, and Hundred Days Red, the four companies held a closed-door high-level meeting at the Hilton in Beijing. This cooperation is quite pleasant. The two Hollywood giants provide global distribution channels, and Huayi guarantees that Through domestic channels, Hundred Days Red provided Forrest Gump, and everyone was happy.

A billion-dollar performance at the global box office can be said to be an achievement. As of now, there are only 20 films in total that have achieved this achievement in film history.

Now, that number has moved up a bit to 21.

The official Weibo of the four companies had already announced the box office results, and Gan Jing also reposted his company's Weibo, which once again attracted congratulations from many colleagues.

A box office of one billion is an honor.

Of course, Gan Jing himself was relatively calm when looking at this result. The box office of film history must take inflation into account, like "Star Wars Episode 1", which received 1999 billion US dollars in 10.27, like "Titanic", that was $1997 billion in 21.86, which is amazing.

The meeting of the four divisions went relatively smoothly. This time, both Paramount and Fox have provided dry goods, disclosing some in-depth data other than superficial data, such as the feedback from European countries on the film, and the expectations and evaluations of actors from East Asian countries. and so on.

Every billion-dollar movie is a phenomenon. Paramount has not performed very well in recent years. Paramount even thought about whether the global market still has expectations for themes like "Love My Love". The company A team was specially set up internally to analyze this matter.

At about the same time, Hundred Days Red also established an analysis team for box office markets in Asian countries.

The meeting lasted for two days, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves at the Beijing Hilton. After that, Mr. Tom, the executive vice president of Paramount, visited Forrest Gump's Hundred Days Red Film and Television Company.

"Forrest Gump, we must strengthen cooperation. The potential of the Chinese market is still great." Tom inspected it very seriously, and he was most impressed by the unique corporate culture of Forrest Gump Company. Two lines of long strips full of Chinese characters were pasted on them.

"Of course. Regarding the script that will hit the Oscars next year, I still hope that you can provide some more realistic stories." Gan Jing mentioned the intention to cooperate with Paramount.

There was no accident, Tom nodded: "Don't worry, we are already collecting materials."

The script about the funding of the film and television industry is not very easy to write, and the stories with realistic themes can often be boring and complicated. It is not easy to create a good story line that can impress the Oscar judges.

"The script will probably be finalized by April. As for the location you mentioned..." Tom was a little hesitant when he said this. Previously, A-Gump asked for the location of the location to be set in Italy without confirming the story. No specific reason was given, but in view of the demand for this film, Paramount has already agreed.

"The environment in Italy is more suitable. There may be a rebound in filming in the United States or in China." Gan Jing thought for a while, and then said, "There are more... family businesses over there."

He paused a little for the word family business.

Tom hesitated, and didn't have time to think about it for a while, so he just kept this detail in his heart.

After the visit, Paramount and Hundred Days Red jointly held a press conference, saying that the two companies will carry out in-depth development and cooperation, which is actually the main purpose of Paramount's trip to China.

Gan Jing was happy to see this matter. He took advantage of the opportunity and expressed his desire for Paramount’s research and judgment on the Asian market when the two companies were discussing cooperation—this request was made in front of Lao Chen and other high-level executives. Although A-Gump still didn't mention his plans for the company's development at this time, everyone understood his choice after seeing this action, and Li Juan was especially excited.

"Old Chen, I think what Li Juan said is very good." Many business matters were temporarily over, and Gan Jing had a heart-to-heart conversation with his manager and company president.

"Which point?" Lao Chen actually felt a little uncomfortable, not because of Forrest Gump's choice, but because he gave the answer first with his actions.

"Hundred Days Red can become a great company." Gan Jing said what Li Juan said before, and added, "It can become a banner of Chinese movies, as long as there are two films a year, no, as long as one can sweep the whole of Asia In five years, we will be able to compete with Hollywood in the Asian region. The Asian region should still be used to seeing yellow skin."

Old Chen Moran, this is actually a bit of going against the trend, far less smooth than following the trend.

"Last year, I made an appointment with Huang Bo for a collaboration. He is a new face in Hollywood, but it will be better in Asia. This work can be used as a test of the water. I will communicate with him about the schedule first. This year I will The main body is these two films, one is from Paramount, and the other is from Huang Bo. Others in the company still follow the plan. Dongyu needs to strengthen its commercial appeal.”

Gan Jing continued methodically: "Five years, I think this time can be given."

Old Chen sighed: "It's really exciting."

Gan Jing ignored Old Chen's weak resistance, and said with a smile: "It's Huang Bo's side, what do you think of bringing his studio over to join us?"

"Huh? Will he?" Old Chen's eyes widened. "It seems that I have to unify the thinking within the company."

"Well, I think it can be coaxed, no, just persuade." Gan Jing was more confident.
