Chapter 38 Confusion Operation (4/5)
Director Timo understands Chen Lin’s concerns!
He is not a novice, he knows that film film production projects worth over 50 million US dollars are supported by the original works...
Hollywood has done this in recent years!
Big investments, either have IP, or long-standing stories, fairy tales, etc.
No one knows risk control better than Hollywood.
The original film project, except for those directors, the other directors have no chance at all.
Timo is not a great director. Apart from "The Wanted Order", he has not had any works in recent years.
There is also a short music collection called "Christmas Tree"...
These things are not enough to gain the trust of investors.
He knew this very well.
In fact, he has found the investor of "Vampire Hunter Lincoln", timburtonprodus and bazelevsprodu...
timburtonprodus, translate it: Timburton Film Company!
In fact, "Lincoln, the Vampire Slayer" was originally planned to direct Tim Burton, but he was busy producing two movies, "Dark Shadow" and "Frankenstein", and he couldn't get away with the time.
Just so Teemo is interested...
As for bazelevs, it is Timo Beckmanbetov's own company.
Director Timo himself does not expect Chen Lin to participate in investment, he has another purpose!
That's right, Russian films such as "The Baby Guard", "The Super Gamer", "The Password Suspicion" have all achieved box office of about 15 million in China...
Not much 15 million?
Yes, compared to the Chinese market, it is definitely nothing. For the Russian market back then, there have been many Russian film markets that have been severely squeezed by European and American blockbusters in recent years, and the proportion of local film markets has declined year by year. Last year, the box office share of Russian local films dropped to 12%!
What does it mean? Russia's total box office in a year is about one billion US dollars, which means that the box office of Russian local movies is less than 100 million US dollars...
Recently, the Chinese market has risen rapidly, and Russia has also noticed that they also want to enter and get a share of the pie.
The form of dividing the account is a bit difficult...
We have to negotiate with China Film, so let’s criticize the film!
He wanted to talk to Chen Lin about Russian films entering the Chinese market in batches.
To be honest, Chen Lin is not very optimistic...
Russian films are small batches and small languages for the Chinese market!
The highest-grossing box office seems to be "The Killing Munich", which is 91 million. It's not that I didn't give a chance. I scheduled 6% of the films, and nearly 20,000 films are scheduled every day...
Then there is "Stalingrad", "He is the Dragon"...
These are all movies after 2014!
Moreover, the price of Russian films is too low, and Chen Lin doesn't want to talk about it at all. Timo is talking about the Chinese copyright of 20 works that are packed with 1 million US dollars...
“…even if it cannot be released, the copyrights of the Internet and TV should ensure that you can get your money back!”
"Let's do it, "Wanted Order 3" is released in China. I'll introduce you to a person in charge. If you talk to her, I don't care much about these things!"
Don’t talk to me about something below a small goal!
Time is precious!
...
"Transformers 3" North American box office scored 97.4 million US dollars in the first week of the weekend, without any suspense.
The total box office in the first week reached $162 million, including $64.6 million from midnight on the premiere day to Thursday.
Without Megan Fox, the movie is still a big hit!
So the role of the vase is ignored. You think you are the heroine. In the eyes of directors and producers, just change one...
Supermodel Rosie Handington-Whitley completed the mission well, and it is said that he served Michael Bay well.
"Twilight" fell badly, with a drop of 62% the next weekend, but the cumulative box office still reached US$180 million...
This movie has already been paid off on its first day!
After all, the cost control is very good. The two consecutive films of "Twilight 4: Dawn" cost $125 million, which is equivalent to more than 60 million per movie...
The worst thing is "Green Lantern". Ryan Reynolds thought he was finally going to become a big star. He starred in a big production with an investment of 200 million yuan. The box office was suppressed by "Twilight" in the first weekend, with only $27 million, and the next weekend was even worse. He encountered "Transformers 3", a drop of 65%...
Thank you little kid, everyone is scolding "Green Lantern", but few people scold "Twilight". Except for a few film critics who have been persisting, they said in the column, "Thank God, there is finally only one movie left in "Twilight"!'
It is July 11th. The box office of "Transformers 3" was 47.03 million on the weekend, with a cumulative box office of 261 million, exceeding the 250 million Hangover 2, and temporarily becoming the annual box office champion of North America.
Why temporary?
Because "Harry Potter 7 (Part 2)" has not been released yet!
The final chapter of the most popular movie series in history.
Shen Lin just paid attention. After all, after all, after the filming, he was on the plane back to Los Angeles, and only these newspapers could read them!
He went to Los Angeles just to go to the company, stayed for one night, and returned to China the next day...
Let’s discuss with Meghan about the release date of “The Legend of the Wicked”.
"Burning" does not require negotiation, it has been decided to start pre-screening and awards in November!
"The Legend of the Wicked" is quite suitable for the summer season. The problem is that next month there will be three movies: Captain America, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and "The Smurfs".
Universal also has a movie called "Cowboys and Aliens", science fiction + West!
The cost is $160 million, the starring lineup is Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, and the director is the director of the famous Jon Favreau's "Iron Man".
In terms of priority, Global is definitely more willing to make efforts in "Cowboys and Aliens"...
However, he promised to help him get 3,081 screen paintings.
For an R-level action movie, the treatment is not bad!
After all, the Chinese version of "The Legend of the Wicked" has a good reputation and box office...
...
"Virus, Global is preparing to invest $120 million to make a big production!"
"How do you make this thing into a big production?"
David smiled: "You can add a star. In addition to Leonardo DiCaprio, you are also ready to call Jamie Fox..."
"Tsk, I think you are going to watch the sea ark!"
Shen Lin waved his hand indifferently...
This thing has no effect at all!
The key to "Virus" is family affection, love and humanity...
Is it meaningful to be so big?
However, the cost of Little Lizi's performance is not worth 100 million!
After a pause, Dalinzi continued to ask: "Who is the director looking for?"
David: "Mark Foster..."
“…Who is that?”
"A German director, his masterpiece "Dance of Death Prisoner"..."
"…have no idea."
"Not very famous, but very capable..."
Megan brought a cup of black tea and came over: "Come on cup of tea, Chinese tea!"
"…Thanks."
Dalinzi doesn’t like drinking black tea very much, so he still likes green tea, even Ukrainian flower tea is fine…
Megan sat down and said directly: "The adaptation rights of "Virus" are $19 million, I think it's sold low!"
“…I didn’t expect Global would rather spend $19 million to buy the copyright than we intervene in the production.”
This is a confusing operation and has increased the cost by 19 million in vain...
Isn’t it said that what Hollywood studios hate the most is that their early investment is too high!
The cost of $19 million is increased in vain. Isn’t this money?
That's right, Time Media proposed two cooperation methods: one is to buy out US$19 million, and the other is to convert the adaptation rights into investment, accounting for 8%...
All fools know how to choose two!
Global chose one and bought it out directly.
David smiled: "They are afraid of you!"
Chen Lin was a little confused: "Afraid of me? What's the scary thing about me?"
Chapter completed!
