Chapter 64 Reporter's Visiting Class Meeting

Yes, people from Fox are here too.

"Phone Booth" has a global box office of over 100 million, making Fox a huge profit.

They also took a fancy to "The Butterfly Effect" and heard that Colombia was also in talks, so they offered a price of US$4 million, which was better than Colombia.

Colombia is ready to curse. Originally, they were preparing for long-term negotiations, which could last for thirty or forty days at most.

As a result, Fox entered the market and directly raised the price to 4 million.

Don’t talk about martial ethics!

I had no choice but to ask Cheng Lingfeng to negotiate again.

Why don't the two companies join forces to lower prices?

"The Butterfly Effect" is a seller's market. Cheng Yu'an wouldn't lose anything if he didn't sell.

Cheng Yu'an still focuses on filming, and only participates in copyright negotiations after finishing filming.

It took until mid-March that all the outdoor scenes of "Warmth and Light Contained" were finished, and the three parties finally reached an agreement when it came time to move indoors.

In the end, Colombia, which came first, won the game and won the remake rights of "The Butterfly Effect" for US$5.63 million.

Exchanged into soft sister coins, about 46 million.

Cheng Lingfeng even held a press conference specifically for this purpose.

"The Butterfly Effect" remake rights signing ceremony and "Warmth Within" crew press conference.

The Colombian side is still represented by Chen Guofu, while the long-distance side is represented by Cheng Lingfeng in person.

""The Butterfly Effect" is a very mature commercial genre film with a clever setting and rich plot. This is what we like, so we purchased the remake rights."

Chen Guofu talked about the reasons for buying Colombia.

"We have noticed director Cheng Yu'an very early, but have never had the opportunity to cooperate. I think purchasing the remake rights this time is a good start. I look forward to our future cooperation."

Afterwards, Cheng Lingfeng said a few words briefly, praised Colombia, and expressed her expectations for future cooperation between the two parties.

Finally, a signing ceremony was held, and the remake rights of "The Butterfly Effect" were officially sold to Colombia.

This is the second time that a Chinese-language film has been remade by Hollywood after Warner bought the remake rights to "Infernal Affairs".

And the price is more than three times that of "Infernal Affairs".

To this end, People’s Daily Online specially published an article reporting the matter:

Hollywood purchased the remake rights of "The Butterfly Effect" for US$5.63 million and looks forward to good cooperation with Chinese-language films.

These days, it is a big deal for domestic films to go overseas. Although "The Butterfly Effect" has not been released overseas, it has won the favor of Hollywood and bought the remake rights, and the price is gratifying, and it is also very popular.

Cheng Yuan and his "Butterfly Effect" therefore occupied the entertainment headlines for several days.

Cheng Yu'an took this very lightly. He just concluded a business deal and made a lot of money. To say that it was not so noble to win glory for the country.

After the signing ceremony, there was a press conference for "The Light Within".

Cheng Yu'an and the crew sat on the stage to answer reporters' questions.

"Master Zhou, may I ask why you took on this play directed by Cheng?"

"The heroine of this drama is very similar to me. When I read the script, I decided to take it."

"There are rumors that the heroine initially invited Zhang Manyu. Is this true, Director Cheng?"

Distance Media has never responded to this question, and Cheng Yu'an will certainly not be stupid enough to admit: "We planned to invite Sister Xun from the beginning, and Lingfeng went to France for other official business, so please don't make wild guesses."

You have to save enough face for others.

The reporter turned to Zunlong again: "Mr. Zunlong, how did you feel about filming on Director Cheng's crew?"

"Director Cheng's crew is very professional. They are fully prepared for every day's shooting, and there are very few unexpected situations. I also like this role very much. I didn't expect that I would be able to receive such a good role when I am over 50 years old. Thank you very much Director Cheng

of trust.”

After Zunlong finished speaking, he nodded to Cheng Yuan who was standing aside.

Of course, the scene is not all about friendly questions:

"Miss Yang Rong, this is the third time you and Director Cheng have cooperated. What is your relationship? Are you in love?"

Yang Rong plays the role of the female assistant at Wangqing Clinic, who was called by Cheng Lingfeng.

It is said that Yang Rong is the heroine of "The Butterfly Effect". After "The Butterfly Effect", she has been approached by many films. She can definitely take on a film as the heroine or the second heroine.

There is no need to play a female assistant with no sense of presence in "The Light Within".

This female assistant is also the second female lead according to her position, but the scenes in "The Light Within" mainly focus on the male and female protagonists. Although other characters also have their own stories, they are only supplementary.

But Yang Rong still accepted it.

Cheng Yuan took the initiative and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern about our personal lives, but Yang Rong and I are really just good friends. I think she is very suitable for this role, and we have worked together for so long, and we are familiar with each other, so I asked her to help.

Thank you."

"Director Cheng, there is speculation that the film "The Light Within" will compete for awards. Is it true? Which film festival are you planning to participate in?"

"Yes, "The Light Within" is indeed going to be tried in foreign film festivals first. As for which film festival it will participate in, I haven't decided yet. This will not be determined until the film is finished."

"Is "The Light Within" competing for awards any reason to be as angry as the Golden Rooster Award?" The reporters in the audience were not shy at all.

Cheng Yu'an smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing. I made such a literary film to prevent myself from getting tired of it. I made three commercial films in a row. I wanted to change my style and my brain. I have no other ideas."

Anyway, even Cheng Yu'an said the same thing to the end of the world, believe it or not.

Not to mention the reporters in the audience, even Cheng Lingfeng and Qin Ranqiu, none of them believed it!

But you have to write like this when you log in.

The interview was over, and Cheng Yuan hosted a group of reporters at the hotel.

After the banquet, Cheng Yuan asked Cheng Lingfeng about the status of several other plays. Cheng Lingfeng said:

"Everything is normal for the crew of "Sword and Sword", not to mention "Young Shunzhi". They are all old crews, and the filming is very fast. It will be completed in another month and a half, but "Eraser" is a little more troublesome."

"What's wrong?"

"The team that Guan Jingpeng brought from Hong Kong did not get along well with our crew, and the filming was very slow. Apart from watching "Lotus Lantern", I spend most of my time on the crew of "Eraser"."

"There wasn't any conflict, right?"

"That's not true. It's just that the two places have different shooting habits. When it comes to cooperation, the hands are not hands and the feet are not feet."

"The time given for "Eraser" is very sufficient. We just need to finish filming in April."

"I know this, and I didn't rush them. By the way, there is also the crew of "Lotus Lantern". The crew has almost completed the construction and will start work at the end of the month. Here is the cast list, take a look." Cheng Lingfeng said, taking out a piece of paper and handing it over

To Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yu'an took it and looked it up and down, basically retaining the original lineup of the original time and space.

Another one was replaced, and the Three Holy Mothers were replaced.

The original time and space is played by Park Si-yeon. From the appearance, the effect she presented is very good.

But this project was in the hands of Yuan Yuan. Sorry, she had no share in it. Cheng Lingfeng approached Zeng Li.

Zeng Li looks great with light makeup and heavy makeup, and can be both pure and sexy.

In her hands, the Three Holy Mothers will be no worse than Park Si-yeon.

Cheng Lingfeng smiled and said: "I heard from your classmates that you even chased Yan Danchen in school." She pointed to Chang'e's name on the cast list.

"This happened eight hundred years ago."

"How about I help you matchmaking again? I'm sure it will work this time. I've met Yan Danchen, and to be honest, she's prettier than the Gao Lu before."
Chapter completed!
