Chapter 79 Senior Sister

"Myth" has an overseas box office of $7 million, and it has not yet been logged into North American theaters...

"New Police Story" has a box office of $8 million overseas, and has released DVDs in North America, but has not officially released;

"The Tang Dynasty" is a bit difficult. It is similar to these two, and neither of them is supported by overseas film manufacturers!

If no overseas film vendors participate in the investment, then you can only sell copyrights!

Thanks to the blessing of "The Unrest", costume blockbusters are difficult to sell.

"Night Banquet" has not taken over the copyright of North America so far, Huayi simply became a North American distributor, which was specially distributed and launched in 38 theaters;

The same is true for "The Crown of the Fame", which can only be released in dozens of venues...

"Mulan" and "Red Cliff" are the same...

"Myth" is a bit better. It should be the DVD that was sold in North America in 2007...

"The Glory of Tang Dynasty" costs RMB 180 million, and it can be released in Asia at present. In other regions, we really need to rely on local film manufacturers...

...

The media promotion meeting the next day.

Jiang Zhiqiang, including Jackie Chan, did not expect that Chen Lin was very popular among the media and the public in Cannes...

I watched him communicate with the media in English in surprise:

"Shen, when will you release your album?"

"I'm preparing for it, and an album will be released at the end of the year..."

"I heard that Hurricane Rescue was the director you named Pierre Morel?"

"Yes, I really like the fighting style in "Very Human Trafficking" and "Violent Block 13". I think "Hurricane Rescue" is suitable for this style."

"Do you often watch French movies?"

"Well, I like "Two Little Girls", "Angel Loves Beauty", "Long Engagement"... By the way, and "Shut up"!"

"Don't you watch art films?"

“…I also saw it, but I couldn’t remember it for a while.”

"Can you tell "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty" in words that the French understand?"

"Linny Battle, the final glory!"

This metaphor is not appropriate. The Battle of Linney was the last victory in Napoleon's life and the last glory in his military career. Two days later, in another small Belgian town, Waterloo, a generation of war gods and even the entire Europe will usher in a turning point in their destiny.

"The Glory of Tang Dynasty" has nothing to do with Linni's Battle...

In fact, it is difficult for the Western world to understand "The Tang Dynasty". They even don't even understand the kings, princes, generals and ministers, and they don't understand what centralization is!

I'm just to sell copyright.

Jackie Chan is of course also popular. He is a Chinese business card in the Western world.

And he is wearing Tang suit.

Chen Lin is wearing suits...

"The script was sent to me by Chen Lin. It was written very well. I was moved, so I decided to star in it."

"Where is the touch?"

"There is a line, 'Many businessmen, the people provide us with food and supplies, were caught by the enemy and chopped their heads. What they recognize is not money, but two words on money: Da Tang!' The spear guards the soul of the Tang Dynasty alone!"

"Then do you want to win this movie?"

"No, I think it's much harder to make a movie that the whole world likes than to win an award."

"Is Chen Lin going to Hollywood to develop?"

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment before answering: "I am the same as Jackie Chan. They invited me to film when I went to Hollywood, so I will naturally come back after filming. Movies should still be rooted in my own culture. I will definitely develop it in China."

"So, do you think Zhang Ziyi's approach is wrong?"

"No, Zhang Ziyi is my senior sister. Don't report it randomly. It is an honor for her to star in a Hollywood A-level production!"

...

Why do domestic reporters mention Senior Sister Zhang?

The International Chapter is one of the judges at Cannes this year.

At this stage, Zhang Ziyi has left behind several pieces of domestic actresses. Not to mention the pay, her endorsement alone is almost the combination of other female stars.

She was right at the right time!

This is considered good luck and bad luck...

The success of "Hero" makes people realize that in addition to winning awards in the film festival, Chinese-language films can also be used to make commercial films to market.

So ancient costume blockbusters such as "Ambush on Ten" and "Night Banquet" began to become popular, and Zhang Ziyi became the best candidate for such movies.

But she once focused on Hollywood and starred in the standard American awards season movie "Memoirs of Geisha", but she did not achieve the expected success.

By the time she returned to the Chinese film industry, the domestic market was already quite prosperous. Except for the sixth generation and younger directors, some directors, were still filming films in the film exhibition, the rest of the people focused on the market. Chinese films could raise funds and earn money without using foreign markets, and could gain a wider market by catering to the audience!

At this stage, everyone will not invite her to star in a movie.

One is that she is too expensive, and the other is that her image is not friendly enough!

The Chinese-language film market has exploded in the past decade, and Zhang Ziyi is actually a relatively embarrassing existence.

As an internationally renowned star, she has to maintain her character and value, so it is difficult to participate in low-cost art films. At the same time, the costume action films she is good at have not received very good market responses in the past ten years. As an actress who is persistent, she is unwilling to take on some bad books, so her film production in recent years has been very low.

However, at this stage, Senior Sister Zhang’s name is not something that is erected!

The beach banquet of "Night Banquet" is almost entirely up to her.

Internationally, Feng Xiaogang is not very famous, and Huayi doesn’t know many people. Almost all she has to lead the director to meet European and American celebrities and film merchants everywhere...

As for the effect, Huang Zhonglei boasted that he sold overseas copyrights for $15 million - with the pre-sale of copyrights in Europe and Asia, we have recovered $15 million in investment, and it will be a net profit after being released in China in the future!

Shen Lin ate quietly. When someone greeted him, he paused to chat with others for a while.

The crew of "Night Banquet" is here, Mr. Zhou and Daniel Wu are all here.

"The Night Banquet is still in the late stage, and it is expected to be released in mid-September... The summer season depends entirely on your "Da Tang"!"

"I'm going to be on "Baby Plan" at the end of September!"

"It's okay, leave it to Huayi to coordinate..."

Feng Xiaogang and Cheng Long had a very enthusiastic chat, and Cheng Long brought over to Shen Lin: "Director, this is Shen Lin, a very talented young man!"

"Of course I know him. Last year's "Crazy Stone" had a box office of over 100 million yuan in mainland China, which was the one he invested in and produced!"

“Good luck…”

"I heard you've started starring in Hollywood movies?"

"B-level films cost less than 20 million US dollars..."

"That's amazing, too..."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhang Ziyi came over and joined in with a smile.

"Senior Sister!"

Cheng Long was surprised: "She is your senior sister?"

"Well, we both belong to the Central Academy of Drama..."

"Not only that, their head teacher is also our head teacher!"

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Shen Lin and said, "I heard that "Hurricane Rescue" was a movie specially designed by Fox to keep you?"

“…No, they have done market research…”

"Save him?"

"He is amazing now. He wrote a script for "Juno". Fox is particularly interested in it. He is worried that he will be taken away by other companies, so he specially allocated funds to help him do "Hurricane Rescue"!"

Chen Lin waved his hand quickly: "It's not that exaggerated. Although action movies like "Hurricane Rescue" are not mainstream, there are still a group of fans. The market prospects are very optimistic..."

Senior Sister Zhang smiled: "Don't be modest. In Crazy Stone, Fox spent $5 million to buy out the North American copyright and then released the DVD..."

“Distribute DVD?”
