After Shanda Network's account was divided, Wan Xiaohu's account became fuller. Now "Legend of Blood" has a turnover of more than one million yuan every day, which means that Wan Xiaohu is also a great man who is about hundreds of yuan in minutes.

"I don't pick up money when I fall from the ground. With the effort of bent down, I earn more than I pick up, and it's not worth the loss."

Clang, with one shot, Wan Xiaohu said to Su Ya proudly.

What he was even more proud of was still there. After going back in the evening, he received a call from Wang Zhonglei.

"Hey, Xiaohu, let me tell you a good news. The North American distribution rights of "Butterfly Effect" have been sold. New Line Film Company bought them and shared them. Give us an 11% quota."

"New line, new line below Warner Bros.?"

"Yes, the original new line meant buying out the copyright for $200,000, but I'm the same as you thought. Just share the money and don't buy out."

Hollywood is a mature film industry system. Every year, Hollywood film companies select films from all over the world and bring them to North America for release. These films are basically two ways of cooperation. One is to buy out the distribution rights and give a basic price. In the future, the movie will have nothing to do with the producer.

Another way is to participate in the share sharing. According to the internationally common share model, the producers are 35%, the publishers are 17%, and the screeners are 48%. Of course, just like Hollywood can only get a share sharing of 13% in China (referring to the current situation in 2001, which will be increased to 25%) at most, Chinese movies have also had a floating line in North America.

When discussing the price when watching movies, the price is basically between 7% and 15%. Except for several films that are recommended by major studios through relationships, the lowest is 7%. "Butterfly Effect" can get 11% share. It can be said that it is highly valued by new film companies.

"Brother Lei, has the new line said when will it be released? What is the scale of the release?"

"This is unlikely, the summer season, probably. I think it will be released in September and October's off-season, and it should not be released on a large scale. There is no way, Xiaohu, although Hollywood has caught the Chinese movie craze, after all, we are not "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and we can only act with the eyes of the new line."

"I understand." Wan Xiaohu expressed his understanding.

In fact, Chinese films, including mainland movies, Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, have been operating in Hollywood for many years and have achieved good results.

In the commercial film, in 1996, Brother Long, directed by Tang Jili, starred in "Simple Task", and was 15.32 million US dollars in North America. In 1992, Brother Long, directed by Tang Jili, starred in "Super Police", and was 16.27 million US dollars in North America. In 1995, Brother Long was also starring "Red Zone" directed by Tang Jili, and was 32.39 million US dollars in North America. Last year, Li An directed by Li An was 128 million US dollars.

In the future, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" will be $53.71 million, Yu Rentai's "Huo Yuanjia" will be $24.63 million, Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" will be $17.11 million, and Zhang Yimou's "Ten Faces" will be $11.05 million. They are all well-managed.

Among the art films, there are 16 movies with a box office of over one million. It is worth mentioning that six of the first 10 movies are films collaborated by Zhang Yimou and Gong Li. With the Chinese movie craze of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", just last year and this year, four movies, Wang Jiawei's "In the Mood for Love", Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother", Zhang Yang's "Bath", and Yang Dechang's "Yiyi" have all been in the United States, all of which have box offices of over one million US dollars.

In recent years, Chinese movies have become popular in Hollywood, which is a good opportunity for Chinese-language movies.

However, the real blockbuster treatment is only one movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and perhaps the "Hero" that Zhang Yimou is filming. It is already a blessing that "Butterfly Effect" directed by Wan Xiaohu can successfully enter North America with the east wind. The rest depends on how the new line film company arranges it.

If the new line is willing to promote it on a large scale, Wan Xiaohu will make a little more money. If the show is turned off after a few times, Wan Xiaohu will not be able to force it. After all, bragging at the beginning was more about giving himself and giving Huayi Brothers greater confidence. Whether it can succeed depends on God.

The box office is not good, and it’s nothing. There are so many Chinese movies that die in North America, and there are also many Wan Xiaohu.

If the box office is good, then you will make a profit!

In a good mood, Wan Xiaohu hung up the phone. He started packing his luggage. Tomorrow, he would say goodbye to the capital again and fly to the mountain city. He attended the opening ceremony of "Crazy Stone", then returned to his hometown to handle private affairs, then flew directly to Hong Kong, and began filming "Infernal Affairs".

"Infernal Affairs" is an A-level production and is also a new level for Wan Xiaohu to challenge. He must devote himself to it and no longer let trivial matters affect himself.

...

After arriving at the mountain city, Wan Xiaohu was pulled over by Ning Hao to drink.

"Tiger, the film will be on tomorrow, I'm a little nervous." In a small restaurant not far from the crew, several people sat around the table and waited for the food to come, Ning Hao said guiltily.

The few people here are none other than producer and screenwriter Wan Xiaohu, director Ning Hao, executive director Cheng Er, deputy director Liu Yang, photography director Chen Chong, art director Xu Ying, soundtrack, recording artist Zhang Yang, and Ning Hao's girlfriend Xing Aina.

Wan Xiaohu cheered Ning Hao up: "Take some confidence, I will go to Hong Kong to make movies naked and hand over the entire team to you. If you use this team well, you will be half successful. You should know that we have worked together for several movies, and we need experience and investment. The international directors are the producers for you. What else can we worry about?"

"Who is the international director?" Chen Chong asked in confusion.

"Tiger, which international director are you going to invite to our crew? Why haven't you heard you say it before?" Liu Yang also joined in the fun.

"Is it Spielberg?" Xu Ying giggled.

Wan Xiaohu was speechless: "You guys deliberately sang the opposite tune with me."

Eating and drinking, with the encouragement of Wan Xiaohu, Ning Hao gradually regained his confidence. He was not really confident, otherwise he would not have planned to make a movie. He was mainly nervous. The first time he was not nervous. Even Wan Xiaohu, the reborn man, was nervous, and the first time he was filming "Waiting Alone".

Drink, chat and chat. The night passed.

The next day, the crew of the mountain city was stationed in Luohan Temple, and the media in the eight directions welcomed.

Guo Tao, Xu Poe, Huang Bo, Yao Chen and other actors began to accept media interviews early in the morning.

As a small-cost investment for Dandelion, the movie did not promote it with great fanfare. After all, it still has to be produced and handed over to the distribution company for distribution. Dandelion's own channels have not yet been established.

Currently, it is just a meeting with the main creators and the media.

However, just the title of Wan Xiaohu's producer and screenwriter is enough to attract people. Nowadays, no one in the mainland media knows that Wan Xiaohu is the golden hand of the business. The three movies and three big sales, and they are all written by Wan Xiaohu himself, which is enough to prove Wan Xiaohu's screenwriter ability.

This made media people look forward to "Crazy Stone".

At the same time, Huang Xiaoming and Jun Ji-hyun, who were filming advertisements abroad, also rushed over to support the show in the morning. With the current popularity of "My Savage Girlfriend", the two of them immediately caused a local commotion. The entire outside of the Luohan Temple was surrounded and the reporter who was originally interviewed by Wan Xiaohu immediately turned the gun head and rushed towards the two.

At ten o'clock, the opening ceremony started. The Shancheng government sent a district mayor at the level of the department to support him. So the district mayor, local county mayor, Wan Xiaohu and Ning Hao, each delivered speeches.

The district mayor also said in public that the government would support filming, and if there is a need, look for the government, and if there is a difficulty, they would treat it with twelve enthusiasm. With the district mayor in front of him, it would be difficult for the county mayor to make a long statement. He just affirmed the district mayor's instructions and would do a good job of hospitality.

Then came Wan Xiaohu's speech.

"Dear District Mayor XX, dear leaders, guests from the news industry, and fellow villagers in the mountain city, good morning. Today, on this sunny and sunny day, the opening ceremony of China's first multi-line comedy movie "Crazy Stone". Here, on behalf of Dandelion Film Company, the producer of the movie "Crazy Stone", I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the leaders and friends who came to the scene! I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the leaders and friends who strongly support the movie "Crazy Stone" and relevant departments! I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the news media for their attention to the movie "Crazy Stone"!"

Wan Xiaohu was reading the microphone and had already written a manuscript.

"From the creation of scripts to the establishment of movies, Dandelion Film Company has always adhered to the theme of exploring Chinese commercial films, gathered a group of outstanding film talents, and completed three successful commercial works, "Waiting Alone", "Butterfly Effect" and "My Savage Girlfriend". This time, "Crazy Stone", directed by Ning Hao, will be Dandelion's fourth commercial film, and it is also a more mature and exquisite sincere dedication after exploring the market..."

The whole manuscript, which is just a few high-end topics, is nothing more than hype about past achievements and looking forward to future achievements. Five minutes later, Wan Xiaohu finished reading the manuscript.

Then Ning Hao also made a brief speech.

The emcee came on stage and said: "Several leaders and directors have made beautiful prospects and expectations for "Crazy Stone". We believe that the film will become another excellent production with the efforts of director Ning Hao and all crew members. Let us invite District Mayor XX to unveil the red cloth of the camera for us!"

Amid the applause, the district chief with a big belly stretched out his hand with a glorious look and uncovered the camera's red cloth.

Then Ning Hao, who had already prepared, got on the director's chair, Chen Chong mastered the camera, and Huang Bo began to perform the first shot.

A minute later, Ning Hao shouted: "Card, this one has passed!"

There was another round of applause. The opening ceremony of "Crazy Stone" was completed. It was already past eleven o'clock, and everyone moved to the restaurant to eat and drink.

Wan Xiaohu was worried that he didn't drink much at noon, but only had two drinks with the district mayor and county mayor. Ning Hao, who was the first time as a regular director, got drunk. In the afternoon, everyone left. The director was drunk and naturally couldn't make a film. The crew also parted. Wan Xiaohu also left the crew, and Jun Ji-hyun was also on his way.

After a long time no see, both of them are already hungry and thirsty, and they need to satisfy each other's needs!
Chapter completed!
