0180 [Car Racing and Senior Sister]

In early April, "Infernal Affairs" launched a intensive promotion. Because the mainland signed the most favorable 35% share contract with China Film Group, Dandelion Film Company also invested a lot of money to promote the film. If the share of this kind of import sharing is too low, it will not be cost-effective for the producer to participate in the promotion. There must be hope to have motivation.

At the same time, Hong Kong and Taiwan are both handed over to Universal Film for promotion, and future sales in Southeast Asia will also be handed over to Universal Film for production. In the South Korea and Japan, Dandelion is connected with the Korean private dus company. The two parties have a happy cooperation on "My Savage Girlfriend". Naturally, this time they will continue to cooperate.

Originally, Dandelion's main work was placed on "Infernal Affairs", but something happened.

An exciting accident.

Fox Broadcasting Corporation from the United States is very optimistic about civilian talent shows such as "pop-idol" and "Super Girl", and has always wanted to introduce copyright. Unfortunately, because the two companies are fighting copyright lawsuits, they have never been able to decide the outcome, so naturally there is no way to trade copyright. It was not until the end of March that the International Court of Justice ruled that the copyright belongs to "Super Girl".

So, fox company found dandelions and proposed to buy copyright.

Whether it is Dandelion or Adventure Island, they are not familiar with the copyright transaction fees of entertainment programs, so they consulted Wan Xiaohu. Wan Xiaohu didn't understand it either. Based on the principle of bargaining, the company's people shouted out a copyright fee of $100 million. If the plan scares others, they will change their words and say it wrong, which is $100 million.

This move is ruthless or tricky.

But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the fox broadcaster on the opposite side was also fierce, cutting two-thirds directly, and only promised to pay $35 million to purchase the copyright.

At that time, the negotiators at fox may have been proud to think that they would be able to scare the Chinese company so hard that they would not dare to ask for a high price. But they never expected that when they heard about this price, Wan Xiaohu, Su Ya and the executives of Adventure Island were shocked.

"I'll choose $35 million, hey hey. Are you sure you are talking about the US dollar or not? "

"This American is so slutty, what's the point?"

"Mr. Su, Mr. Wan, you don't know. I was so scared at that time that this was faster than Mr. Wan, you made money for movies! I almost agreed. But then I thought that they were willing to pay 35 million US dollars, and there must be a higher price, so I resisted not agreeing."

"Talk, continue talking. Talk hard!" Wan Xiaohu gave the highest instructions.

Unfortunately, there are gains and losses. The first time was a mistake by fox company, which accidentally missed the bottom. However, the shock of the Dandelion negotiators also missed their own bottom line. fox company insisted on not giving up on $35 million. After more than a week of hard work, it finally bought the copyright of "Super Girl" for $40 million.

"Young. We're so young!"

Knowing the final result, Wan Xiaohu could only sigh so much. This time, both sides did not understand each other's market conditions. Fox looked too much at the copyright of entertainment programs in China, and Dandelion looked too low on his copyright. In the end, although they both gained a price far exceeding the expected one, they still felt that they had lost a lot.

Fox was thinking they could win it for $10 million, but it ended up costing $40 million.

Dandelion and Adventure Island lamented that the copyright that could have been sold at $60 to $70 million. It was sold at a low price of $40 million.

"After learning from one's mistakes, I know the copyright value of entertainment programs in the future, and I can't make such mistakes again." Wan Xiaohu summarized the company's executives at the copyright summary meeting of "Super Girls", "Take a while ago, the second season of "Super Girls" has not yet started. The company has made money again. I suggest that all executives spend a month visiting the market to see the market in the UK and the United States to avoid losing money internationally in the future. Especially the awareness of copyright should be strengthened!"

"What Mr. Wan said is very reasonable. We are all frogs in the well. If we don't go out, we will never know what the outside world is like. I will carefully organize the company management to go abroad for inspection and study."

"At the same time, we also need to expand the production team, invest heavily in hiring creative designers, and create more entertainment interactive programs!" Wan Xiaohu emphasized, "I will also take time to provide a few creativity."

When he said this, what flashed through Wan Xiaohu's mind was the entertainment programs he had watched, such as "China's Got Talent", "China's Dream Show", "The Voice of China", "China Star Jump", "Variety Show", "Dance Miracle", "Where Are We Going, Dad?"...

"Super Girl" sells copyright, although it makes money, it is not Wan Xiaohu's focus. His career focus is still on the movies.

Dandelion Film Company, Director Wan Xiaohu Studio.

Wan Xiaohu, Ning Hao, Xing Aina, Yue Xiaojun, Cheng Er, Liu Yang, discussed around the desk.

"The Crazy Stones are not digging deep enough. This multi-line narrative method still has great potential. Ning Hao, I think if you want to shoot a classic graduation work like Tiger, you still have to dig it out on this multi-line. The creative idea of ​​"Crazy Racing" proposed by Tiger is very good and worth digging in depth."

This discussion is nothing more than Ning Hao's new movie direction.

With the great success of "Crazy Stone", the stone phenomenon has triggered. Now audiences across the country are praising Ning Hao, and the box office and DVD sales are very good. Naturally, Ning Hao also has the taste of the artifacts and wants to continue to show his strength in commercial films.

So Wan Xiaohu took advantage of the situation to propose the movie "Crazy Racing".

The previous track is that this is Ning Hao's truly successful movie, with a box office of over 100 million yuan, making him the fourth director of 100 million yuan in China. In the eyes of later generations, racing may not be as good as stone classics, but it was very successful in commercialization. Wan Xiaohu naturally would not let such good movies get stuck.

After a while of discussion, Ning Hao's next stage work direction was basically determined.

Filming "Crazy Racing", prepare the script in the early stage, prepare for the filming in the later stage, and strive to complete the filming within two years. Ning Hao is not Wan Xiaohu, the fast gunman, and he has not graduated yet, so he needs to work and study half a while, so the shooting time will naturally be longer.

"Hey, Ning Hao has found the direction, it is to shoot a sequel to the stone. What about you? Do you plan to shoot a sequel to the barbaric girlfriend?" Cheng Er suddenly asked.

"My Savage Girlfriend". There is no plan for this at the moment." Wan Xiaohu shook his head, "I am busy with the release of Infernal Affairs now, and the pressure and inspiration that filming Infernal Affairs some time ago has given me too much. I am planning to digest it carefully in the near future and do some simple things. It is too tiring to make a movie."

In the past six months in Hong Kong, Wan Xiaohu came into contact with Hong Kong movies and learned a lot of things. "Infernal Affairs" brought pressure and motivation to Wan Xiaohu in controlling stars and portraying the plot. After successfully filming, he really gained too much. In the past, he still copied the script according to the script and added some of his own modifications.

It is now possible to do it. Shooting that is light and light is not limited to reproduction. It is more about innovation and breakthroughs.

In "Infernal Affairs", he modified the bad things he felt in his previous life, and felt more perfect. However, after filming four movies in the past two years, Iron Man couldn't bear it anymore. Wan Xiaohu wanted to relax and take a break before filming the movie. Now he went to do some relaxing work.

"So, you don't plan to make a sequel?"

"I never thought there would be a sequel."

Cheng Er rubbed his hands: "This. Tiger, I think it's a pity to not shoot the sequel if "My Savage Girlfriend". Even if you don't shoot it, at least you will have a sister piece like Ning Hao's racing."

Wan Xiaohu raised his eyebrows: "Cheng Er, you have an idea."

"Hehe, I don't hide it from you. I really have an idea. After the stone was over, I was thinking about what I want to do. To be honest, my talent may not be as good as you and Ning Hao. But I have worked hard for many years, and have been an associate director for you and Ning Hao. Now I want to make a movie myself."

"Tell me, look."

"It's like this. "My Savage Girlfriend" is so sensational, it's a pity not to continue to develop it. And Jeon Ji-hyun doesn't have any new plans, so it's a waste of her popularity. Why not make a movie of the same type? I just made a script idea called "Savage Sister"..."

When Cheng Er spoke out the general plot of "Savage Senior Sister", Wan Xiaohu was speechless.

This is really similar to the sister story of the Barbarian Girlfriend in his memory. It all talks about the process of how to heal yourself if the heroine is a policeman and her boyfriend dies. Basically, she can watch it together with "My Barbarian Girlfriend" as a prequel movie.

"What do you think of this script?" Wan Xiaohu didn't know much about the previous trajectory of "Savage Sister" and didn't know whether it was successful or failed, so he simply asked the people here. We have been exploring commercial movies for a long time, and have our own ideas and ways to look at problems.

Ning Hao thought for a while and said, "I think it's okay to use "My Savage Girlfriend" to hype it, otherwise it would be a waste of the strong topic and sensation brought by Savage Girlfriend. Hollywood's development of movies is very hierarchical and comprehensive. We cannot compare, but we should also explore more in this regard."

"I also think it should be filmed. After all, this kind of romance film is just a small investment. Jun Ji-hyun and Huang Xiaoming are both artists of Dandelion. If you lose more than much, you will make a good chess movie." Liu Yang expressed his opinion.

"...Since you all think you should shoot it, Cheng Er, you write the script well, we will hold a meeting to discuss it, and invest and establish a project for you."

Wan Xiaohu made the decision.

Cheng Er is a talented director and has also filmed many works with him, which is worth investing in this person. Moreover, Jun Ji-hyun also needs some tailor-made scripts to consolidate her position as the No. 1 Sister of the Flash Star and the effect of becoming popular in Asia now. As Liu Yang said, what if the movie is lost, it’s just a small cost of several million, and it doesn’t get in the way.

After confirming the preparations for "Crazy Racing" and "Savage Sister", Wan Xiaohu once again plunged into the publicity work of "Infernal Affairs".

It’s time to become famous in the world! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!

ps: I admit, another chapter is water.

However, some things must be explained. It is impossible to just write movies, otherwise it would be meaningless if you write too much.

To be honest, I originally planned to write more women's plays, but unfortunately I was born at the wrong time. I encountered harmony when I first wrote it, so I didn't dare to touch this bottom line. But until I clicked it, I don't know if it suits everyone's taste. I'm depressed!
Chapter completed!
