Chapter 442 This Nima is not quite right!
Hansen has actually been following Chinese movies before.
However, Hansen feels that few Chinese movies can really make achievements abroad. No matter how powerful the box office in China is, they can only pretend to be in front of their own people. If they go abroad, it is basically a pit. After all, culture and history are completely different, customs and habits are also different, and there are corresponding differences in many aesthetic aspects. It is normal that Chinese movies cannot be accepted by the Americans.
But after watching "Futu" this year, Hansen suddenly felt that "Futu" might have some explosive points in the United States.
"Futu" is different from other Chinese movies. "Futu" has really strong expressiveness, and the tension makes people have nothing to say.
At least as the director, Hansen was deeply impressed by Zhang Fa's expression and acting skills in the movie after seeing this movie, and involuntarily followed the rhythm of the male protagonist. In the end, he felt worried about whether the male protagonist could live in this world.
Therefore, he really wanted to introduce this movie to Paramon, hoping to buy out the overseas distribution rights agency distribution. As for "Jiangshan", the person in charge of Yixing contacted Paramon Company, hoping to cooperate.
One is to actively seek cooperation, and the other is to passively request cooperation. The difference between Yixing and Yinghui is already revealed.
Hansen did not come to Yinghui Media first but went to Yixing. After all, in terms of size, Yixing is basically one of the several giants in Huaxia Media, and has had several collaborations before. Although the collaboration between the previous films was really not very successful, "Battlefield" was quite popular in China, but when it went overseas, it was a mess and couldn't even get the money back. But after all, it was an old cooperative relationship, right?
After Hansen brought this young man named Fries to Yixing, Yixing warmly welcomed Hansen and Fries. Feng Yuming and Yixing's diplomatic director Li Chong shamelessly boasted about "Jiangshan" and said it seemed to be very powerful, hoping to sell it at a good price, and specially took out the sales report of "Jiangshan" in China.
Hansen watched the box office report of China's movies, then watched "Jiangshan" again, and finally came to the conclusion that "Jiangshan" might indeed have a chance in the United States. As for whether "Jiangshan" can be a big hit, Hansen is not sure.
Then the two sides discussed the promotional methods. Li Chong was very good at promoting movies. After all, Li Chong was responsible for the first few overseas movies. He came up with more than ten sets of plans, and he thought each set was more excellent, either giving away movie vouchers, holding events, or promoting videos...
However, these propaganda plans were denied by Hansen.
"I am sorry, Mr. Li, your promotional system is outdated."
"Ah?" After Li Chong, who was excited, heard that his propaganda plans were denied one by one by Hansen, his face was obviously not very good-looking. After all, Chinese people speak tactfully, but Western people speak...
So direct!
"Chu Qing, yes, Chu Qing has a strong role in "Jiangshan" and there is a fighting scene. I think we can start from Chu Qing's perspective."
"Chu Qing? Is Chu Qing popular in the United States?"
"You don't have to worry about this. This is what Yinghui Media and I should discuss. What you have to do now is to give up your outdated publicity techniques. I'm sorry to say bluntly again. You have invested so much in "Jiangshan" and the real box office is actually the same as "Futu"? Moreover, the director of "Futu" is still a young man who has just graduated. What do you think of this?"
“…”
Feng Yuming, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned gloomy and not very good-looking when he heard this.
This was indeed an insult to him.
A young man who was a fledgling man made a movie, but the box office exploded like this. It was a miracle.
"Mr. Feng, I'm not trying to mock you. I mean, Chu Qing should have absolute appeal in the Chinese entertainment industry. This appeal is incomparable to other people. The reason why this movie has such achievements is that the plot of the film is one aspect and one aspect is Chu Qing's personal reasons. Chu Qing is talking about Chu Qing everywhere on the Internet, and Chu Qing is also on the headlines. I believe you should understand what I mean, right?" Feng Yuming, who looked directly at Hansen, showed a wise smile.
"..." Although Feng Yuming didn't want to admit it, that's the truth.
"Also, the recent movies in China have the shadow of Chu Qing. Don't tell me that this is accidental. It's okay to cheat children, but it's not okay to cheat me. In fact, you have lost control and confidence in the box office of the movie. I hope to use Chu Qing's popularity to stabilize the wave!" Hansen continued to smile and looked at Li Chong and Feng Yuming. There was a deep meaning in his smile. Some things don't need to be explained thoroughly, as long as they are explained clearly.
If Chu Qing had not starred in this movie "Jiangshan", what would the box office of "Jiangshan" be like?
neither knows.
After all, there is no if in this world.
But Hanson is right.
At first, Yixing did have this idea.
After all, Chu Qing’s number of fans is amazing!
After determining the direction of cooperation, Hansen left Yixing and then walked towards Tianyu non-stop.
Tianyu's "The Most Youth" and "The City of Killing" have also contacted Paramont Company, hoping that Paramont Company can also distribute these two movies overseas on behalf of the agency.
Hansen, Xu Chaoge's "The Most Young" was not very interested at the first time. He felt that "The Most Young" was going to be a hit in the United States. Instead, Hansen, who seemed to be a bit disappointing in the box office in China, was more optimistic and felt that he should be able to do something.
"The Most Youthful" and "The City of Killing" also quickly finalized the distribution cooperation of overseas channels, but the price was not very high. The two movies combined just the same as "Jiangshan".

"What? This is Chu Qing's Yinghui Media? It seems that the layout is too small, right?"
"this……"
When Yinghui Media sent someone to bring Hansen and Fries to Yinghui Media's headquarters, Hansen stood at the gate and was stunned.
suburbs!
Yes, Chu Qing's company, which is so famous in China, is actually in the suburbs, and it looks a little desolate around it.
This made it difficult for Hanson to accept the suspicion that he was taken into the trap.
The storefronts of Tianyu and Yixing are both very brilliant and tall, but the storefronts of Yinghui Media are...
It's so LOW!
Before coming to China, Hansen always felt that even if Yinghui Media was not bad, it would not be so bad. After all, there shouldn't be too ordinary with a star like Chu Qing who is very popular in China, but this appearance really shocked Hansen.
After Hansen saw Chu Qing coming out of the company with dark circles open, Hansen was sure that it was Chu Qing's company.
"Chu Qing, your company is really too..."
“Does it look a little old?”
"Um."
"The company was originally an old office building. Last year, the company only rented one floor, and now it has basically rented all the office buildings. Oh, by the way, Yanjing is a place of wealth and land. If you want to build your own site, our strength is not enough for the time being. However, we have already made preliminary plans for the new company address. It is expected that our Yinghui Media will change a lot next year." Chu Qing shook his head dissatisfiedly and did not hide anything.
"Yeah." Hansen nodded.
Fries next to him had a very good impression of Chu Qing's frankness.
Fries has seen too many Chinese people. The first impression these Chinese people gave Fries was that they were very smart, unyielding, and very vain. Things that obviously didn't have were imposed on him, and even made Fries have the illusion that Chinese people were such people. However, after seeing that Chu Qing did not hide the current situation of his company, Fries felt that Chu Qing was a tradeable person.
Yes, interactions between people are all about the first impression. If you have a good first impression, then many things will be easy to talk about next. If you have a bad first impression, then many things will be difficult to talk about next.
This is a very subtle phenomenon in itself.
Several people walked into Yinghui Media and came to a special conference room. At the same time, Jiang Xiaoyu also came to Chu Qing.
This is the first time that Paramont Company and Yinghui Media have cooperated. Fries originally thought that Yinghui Media did not understand the direction of cooperation between the two parties and wanted to make a little profit by squeezing the price. However, when Chu Qing changed to Jiang Xiaoyu, Fries realized that he could not make any profit at all, and he might have to suffer a small loss.
The contract talk was really not very pleasant. Jiang Xiaoyu and Fries had a full afternoon and finally the conversation froze.
Jiang Xiaoyu has always dominated the market and has never given up. He requires that the buyout fee be higher than "Jiangshan" and also get some box office share.
This condition was naturally unacceptable to Paimon and others. After being stiff for half an hour, Hansen finally took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu.
"We can agree to your request! But the premise is that Chu Qing promises to participate in my "Machine Demon" and cooperates with our publicity..." Hansen finally stared at Chu Qing and said this.
In fact, Hansen was actually a bit troubled by Chu Qing's refusal to participate in his "The Devil of Machines".
In fact, after Chu Qing returned to China, Hansen also found several actors to audition, but it always didn't taste like that.
It seems that something has been missing.
"Brother Qing, what do you think of this condition?" Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head and looked at Chu Qing who was yawning.
"Uh..." Chu Qing hesitated, "What is the salary?"
"The salary is three million, US dollars!" Hansen stared at Chu Qing, not letting go of any expression on Chu Qing's face.
"Just play one role?"
"Yes, not enough. I hope this character has a martial arts plot. After all, I have watched your "Jiangshan" and I found that your fighting scenes in "Jiangshan" are not bad."
"Okay." After hesitating for a while, Chu Qing finally breathed and nodded.
When Hanson saw Chu Qing nodding, his heart, which was slightly hung up, finally relaxed.
Others may not realize anything, but Hansen has actually realized the huge commercial value hidden behind Chu Qing.
Just say that!
In this way, Ivy's album became popular, and Chu Qing would also be popular, and the song "Take me to your heart" seems to have some indescribable potential in Europe and the United States.
This is a gamble.
Hansen bet that Chu Qing can become as popular as China in the United States!
After finalizing the cooperation and signing the contract, the tense atmosphere of the two parties just now disappeared and was very harmonious.
After leaving Yinghui Media, Hansen felt something was wrong!
After getting on the plane, Hansen couldn't help but slap himself in the face!
"Bang!"
"What's wrong?"
"Am I crazy? Other Chinese actors begged me to give a role, but when they meet Chu Qing, why do they seem to beg him, and then... take this as a negotiation condition?" Hansen's voice revealed a smell of just eating Xiang, and even a little bit of aggrieved.
Chapter completed!
