Chapter 40 Unexpected Visitors (2/7)
Early in the morning, Lu Xiaoran clicked on the Orange Ticketing App and looked at the box office rankings. The box office of "Donkey Deshui" was a bit unexpected...
The box office has exceeded 100 million!
Maybe the reputation of the movies in the same period was too bad, so they gave "Donkey Desert Water" space "Taiping Wheel" and "My Early Update Girlfriend"...
As expected, "The Wheel of Taiping" capsized.
The first-line actors in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places are all called a 300 million production, with a box office of less than 200 million...
Wuyu Sen has sharpened his sword for six years and found this ghost appearance?
It’s a pity that Xiaoma Ben Teng, who had originally expected the box office of "Taiping Wheel" to be a big hit, and washed away the argument that Big Dog Brother had to hold onto Xiaoma’s head after leaving...
Now I am embarrassed, there are two left in my inventory, "The Wheel of Taiping" and "Happy New Year"...
Teacher Lu pays more attention to "One Step Away"...
After all, it was Jiang Wen's movie. "Let the Bullets Fly" was so cool. He couldn't even copy this movie if Lao Lu copied it!
The Big Golden Retriever said, "This movie has not had a box office of 600 million, the plot is shattered, and the reputation is a mess."...
But what kind of scattered methods?
The funding and the actors are fine, how could he mess it up?
Lu Xiaoran really wants to see it with his own eyes...
In a sense, he can also consider Jiang Wen’s fans that others are bad movies, while Director Jiang’s bad movies are director Jiang’s style movies…
If you can’t understand other bad movies, it’s just the director’s rubbish, Jiang Wen’s bad movies, and the audience will read more books!
New York and Beijing were separated by 12 hours...
In China, "One Step Away" has just been released, and the reviews that Lu Xiaoran can see are all flattering: "A Metaphor of Comprehensive Interpretation of the Metaphor of Step Away", "Why This Step is Great"...
More interest...
...
When Lu Xiaoran wants to win the Oscar, the biggest obstacle is nationality...
Old white man is the most politically correct!
Or you might as well just take a letter of fame and say something about politics or axe...
Otherwise, it can be concluded that there is no chance...
This is an ideological issue, so the strategy of the PR team from the beginning is the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscar nomination is enough...
As for the level of "Georgement", no matter how awesome you are, can you compare with "War and Peace"?
That movie won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
But Lu Xiaoran felt that Alfonso Caron had won the Oscar for Best Director with "Gravity", maybe he could do it too...
Very iron-headed!
What if it's done?
On the 20th, Lv Xiaoran came to the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. A tea party will be held this afternoon... Well, it has nothing to do with winning the prize. It is not a public relations arrangement, but a division Hollywood conference held by a group of Chinese giants.
The process should be:
The old man held the cup and smiled at the corner of his mouth: Paramount, I want it. After I finished speaking, whoever agrees and who opposes it?
Well, I thought too much, Lao Wang didn't come at all. He was busy going to Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge and other world-renowned universities to promote his own success studies. Harvard and Yale are worse than to dare to do it, and Tsinghua and Peking University are worse than to be brave...
The previous one has no rhyme!
Well, Wanda is the host, and they invited Lu Xiaoran, as well as Xu Yuanxiang, the head of foreign strategic investment of Ali Film and Television, and Huang Kai, the head of Huayi International under Huayi...
The era of crazy has arrived. The domestic film market alone cannot satisfy the ambitions of a group of people!
Everyone is making a global layout...
Wanda is crazy about buying and buying, and the other companies are relatively stable, all of which are part of investment...
The problem is coming again. As an outsider, it is difficult for you to get high-quality projects!
Originally, Tengsuke participated in the investment in "Venom". In fact, Sony Pictures is not particularly optimistic about "Venom". It can be seen from the production cost of only $100 million...
...
Lu Xiaoran walked into the living room, and several people hurriedly greeted: "I'm waiting for you!"
“…I just got off the plane and rushed over…”
Xu Yuanxiang: "Congratulations, I won the New York Film Critics Award again. How about it, is the Oscar stable?"
Lu Xiaoran picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said: "...The possibility is not high, at most, I can hold a few nominations. This is an ideological problem!"
Huang Kai responded to the topic: "Hollywood's two missions are to expand market and value output. Now, the only Chinese movies are the ones who have the opportunity to break the fist with Hollywood in these two events!"
Lu Xiaoran looked at Huang Kai in surprise and nodded: "You're so right!"
Such an outstanding talent is actually Huayi’s?
Waste of natural resources!
Huang Kai: "The main participants in Gravity are Amberlin's partner, Spielberg's company. If it were replaced by Weinstein Pictures, there might be several awards!"
Lu Xiaoran frowned: "But Harvey is too greedy and has a bad reputation. We usually don't dare to cooperate with him."
"Is your PR team John Hotzes?"
"Do you know him?"
"I've heard of it, a24..."
A24's reputation is second only to orange manufacturing. They also firmly follow the R-level route, and the production cost is strictly controlled below 10 million US dollars...
They are very good at winning awards.
Lu Xiaoran and Huang Kai had a great chat, and they were quite impressed. Zeng Maojun was sitting by the table, and Xu Yuanxiang was a little embarrassed...
Especially Zeng Maojun, he was the initiator of this meeting!
"Ahem!" Zeng Maojun coughed, and then said: "We decided to acquire Paramount!"
"…Really?"
"Well, we've talked with Viacom almost the same. We will invest $3.92-4.9 billion to acquire 49% of Paramount's equity!"
In fact, Paramount has changed five Chinese buyers in media reports, such as Du Niang, DMG Yinji Media, Fosun Group, Ali Baba, and now Wanda...
They all targeted Paramount...
After all, it is the top six in Hollywood. Is it just so unstoppable?
A bunch of people want to be its new dad!
“Buying a well-known American company will help us seize the overseas market…”
When Zeng Maojun said this, he looked at Lu Xiaoran intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter was still chatting with Huang Kai...
Just make it clear: "I wonder what Mr. Lu thinks about Wanda's acquisition of Paramount?"
“…It’s such a big deal!”
This is the truth, it takes 4 billion US dollars to take action. Anyway, Lu Xiaoran would never dare to do this...
Not to mention 4 billion, even if he was asked to pay 400 million, he would have to analyze it in various ways...
"I wonder what the estimated price of orange manufacturing by Mr. Lu?"
"…Orange Manufacturing? Not estimated..." Lu Xiaoran understood: "You want to buy orange Manufacturing?"
"No, we just want to invest!"
"Haha, we are not short of funds!"
Lu Xiaoran's expression became cold...
Damn, before the six majors took action, Wanda had just started to think about it?
I really don’t know what to say, I have unique insights?
Chapter completed!
