Huaxia Movies' overseas distribution is basically all buyouts. Except for a few blockbuster movies released domestically, the buyout prices are pretty good. The other buyout prices are on the low side. In recent years, Huaxia Movies has been running smoothly.
The price of overseas distribution is getting lower and lower, and even a movie that sells 30 million domestic box office, the buyout price is only 2 million US dollars...
There is no way, who has made Chinese movies become more and more unsatisfactory in the past two years?
Five or six years ago, Chinese kung fu movies could still bring in some box office revenue and win glory for the country when they went abroad. However, in recent years, with the gradual rise of young actors, established kung fu stars have become older and turned behind the scenes. Many so-called kung fu movies have become
After becoming "dance films", Chinese films began to gradually decline overseas.
Five or six years ago, when overseas movie fans talked about Chinese movies, they always talked about Chinese Kung Fu. But in the past two years, when talking about Chinese movies...
What?
The big iron rod was replaced with an embroidery needle?
Are you sure you can kill someone with this light punch?
Some people in the industry just shook their heads after talking about this, criticizing and criticizing, lamenting that they did not argue, and lamenting that they did not argue...
But, what can be done?
With the gradual rise of the traffic era, the Internet is becoming more and more developed year by year. A batch of fresh meat appears in front of the big screens, attracting boys and girls. As long as they make movies in the past, they will basically be stupid fans without saying a word.
, after bragging, he also attacked other movies, saying that other movies are rubbish and are not worthy of giving us so-and-so shoes. Some younger fans even think that the stars of Kung Fu Tough Guys are too ugly, and uncles should look like uncles.
Wouldn't it be nice for a Kung Fu movie to serve as the backdrop for our idol?
These comments are extremely common online!
Therefore, in this traffic environment, few new generation kung fu stars have emerged...
Nonsense, everyone with good looks has become a fan of the little fresh meat circle, who still suffers so much to make so-called kung fu movies? Kung fu movies, are kung fu movies so easy to make? How many people have been injured in kung fu movies?
And the kung fu movie that I really wanted to make but didn’t have good-looking actors couldn’t get the support of the company. The plot was very dry, and it was a loss when it was released...
Therefore, in the past few years, Chinese movies have gradually begun to show a sense of deformity, and no one knows how long this deformity will last...
Perhaps, this is the beginning and end of an era.
These are all fates.
The price paid by Pamount for "The Man from Earth" was not high, only three million US dollars...
Three million U.S. dollars, equivalent to about more than 20 million yuan.
This price is actually acceptable to other companies. After all, most of the first movies sent overseas are not to earn box office but to increase their presence and reputation internationally. This is also the general trend of domestic movies...
However, Lu Yuan did not accept the price and rejected it outright.
Although more than 20 million yuan is a large amount, Lu Yuan feels that it is of little significance.
Although he loves money, he really has no intention of selling it cheaply.
Unless a part of the share is added on the premise of a buyout, it is impossible for Lu Yuan to accept it.
Paimon Company was surprised by Lu Yuan's rejection.
Although the price is not high, as a small company without any reputation in China, the price I give you is already quite generous. Why do you refuse me?
Are you sick?
divided into?
Why should I give you a share?
Just because you're a pianist and you wrote the theme song to "California Nights"?
You may be arrogant in China, but if you leave China...
What the hell is your movie?
Of course, Paimon couldn't agree to Lu Yuan's request.
This put James, the middleman, in a very embarrassing situation for a while. He wanted to help Lu Yuan with his activities, but Chinese movies were generally like this in overseas markets. In the early days, Paramount did spend high prices to buy out several popular Chinese movies.
Movie, unfortunately, Pai Meng lost money at the box office and went to his grandma’s house, and even the top management directly asked the responsible manager to resign...
James initially persuaded Lu Yuan to sign the contract, but after hearing Lu Yuan's decisive voice on the phone, James knew that no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
This person was determined not to accept the buyout.
Of course, James doesn't think Lu Yuan is wrong. After all, everyone has his own ambitions, right?
He felt that someone as talented as Lu Yuan must have an extraordinary amount of pride in his heart.
This kind of pride does not allow him to bow his head.
He admired Lu Yuan's pride, but...
In this environment, is your pride a good thing or a bad thing?
James closed his eyes silently.
This incident made him slightly embarrassed...
………………………………
The box office of No. 9 movies has begun to decline to varying degrees.
"Future You" dropped 3 million, with a box office of 7 million in one day.
"The Extra-Terrestrial" fell by two million, with a box office of five million in one day...
"The Man Came From Earth" declined more, directly down by five million, but compared with the box office of 25 million, this decline rate is actually relatively slow.
Of course, when it comes to the movie with the best box office decline, "Stray Pig" is the movie.
The decline of "Stray Pig" is very small, with only 250,000 box office...
But his downward curve is scary. After all, the decline from 500,000 to 250,000 is really a fall off a cliff. It's really...
amazing!
Yes, this movie that followed the trend of "Wanderer" did not follow the trend of "Wanderer" at the box office. It only took in 250,000 at the box office that day, and it got worse and worse, and it became a domestic bad movie...
The box office figures of this figure have indirectly shown that this movie is over, and major theater chains have also canceled this movie together with the other two movies...
On the 10th, it was directly replaced by two other domestic suspense movies, "Cat Controller" and "August".
There is really no suspense for "This Man from Earth" to win in this box office battle, and it even makes me feel like I am standing on a high mountain overlooking you...
The 10th is Monday.
Of course, after Monday came, all movie box office data fell again, and this time the decline was generally severe.
"This Man Came From Earth" dropped to 16 million at the box office, and directly dropped to 9 million...
"Future You" dropped 4 million at the box office to 3 million...
"Alien" dropped only 1 million, and its daily box office actually began to overtake "Future You".
This made them feel comfortable for a long time. After all, "Breaking Bad Alien" was produced by their company. In a sense, they felt a sense of accomplishment after defeating a Hollywood movie...
Director Xu Qifeng is as happy as an idiot. Almost every day as soon as the box office comes out, he posts various documentaries on Weibo about the filming process and exposes many ups and downs, sadness and difficulties. He also appears on some variety shows from time to time to talk about the director's mentality...
…
Of course, whether intentionally or not, he would not talk about "This Man is from Earth".
after all……
He is still a human being, but this movie is completely inhuman.
The box office for the 10th is finally out.
As of the early morning of the 11th, "Future You" had grossed 72 million at the box office, while "The Extra-Terrestrial" had grossed 45 million!
As for "The Man from Earth"?
Everyone was shocked speechless after seeing this data!
Over 100 million!
right!
It directly exceeded 100 million!
The total box office for the ten days, no, from the afternoon of the 5th to the 11th, in about five and a half days, the total box office exceeded 106 million!
The average box office is 20 million per day!
Although this data is nothing during those peak box office seasons, you have to remember that this is April, not May!
Is this achievement incredible enough?
It simply made a hole in the sky.
While everyone was paying attention to the movie, a Weibo account called "I Am Little Bird" broke the news.
This incident directly brought "This Man is from Earth" to the forefront...
"What? Ergouzi actually rejected Hollywood?"
"Is this true or false? The global distribution rights of "This Man from Earth" were not successfully negotiated?"
"Really or falsely? Is this fake news?"
"It must be fake news. It's hard for Chinese movies to have the opportunity to go abroad. Who would give up this opportunity unless they have a bad brain!"
"Yes, a genius like Ergouzi will definitely not do such stupid things!"
"I agree too."
"Report it, fake news!"
This article titled "Lu Yuan refused to authorize the company to Paramount Company and insisted on guarding his so-called pride!" Once it was posted, all netizens were dumbfounded.
Of course, netizens thought this Weibo was completely fart!
How could Chinese films refuse the opportunity to go abroad? Moreover, it was Paimeng who came to the door and gave him enough face!
What a good thing this is, how could Lu Yuan refuse? Everyone knows what it means after going abroad...
After a movie goes abroad, if the next one is a box office hit at home, it will not be difficult to go abroad.
After all, once there is a cooperation, there is a second cooperation. Isn’t that how Joaquin Company started?
so……
Netizens all thought this was eye-catching fake news.
But……
Subsequently, many well-known media, including "China Entertainment Weekly", "Movie Daily", etc., successively published news that Lu Yuan rejected Paimon...
After this news was released, netizens thought that Lu Yuan was out of his mind!
reject?
You turned down such a good opportunity?
What do you think? Don’t you want to become famous internationally?
Are you crazy?
At noon on the 12th, Lu Yuan's Weibo went viral again. Countless people who thought they were Weibo celebrities began to point out Lu Yuan on Lu Yuan's Weibo...
"Lu Yuan, don't be too arrogant. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be that store anymore!"
"We all recognize that you are very talented, but you have to connect with the world. You can't stubbornly think that you are the whole world!"
"I don't know what the contract is, but I know it will only be good for you and not bad!"
"Lu Yuan, I have always admired you. You can't be confused at a critical moment. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. Do you know the history of Joaquin's rise?"
Such comments kept coming one after another, and countless comments were posted on Lu Yuan’s Weibo.
It seems that overnight these people have become strong men who know how to manage, standing on the highest point of truth and guiding the country.
When Fatty Wei, the bitch No. 1, saw these instructions, he just smiled coldly and spat.
"Short-sighted!"
"You don't understand Ayuan at all!"
"Ayuan has never wanted to compete with companies like Tianyu and Joaquin..."
"His eyes are on the whole world!"
"Paimon is indeed awesome!"
"But in the future, my "remote" will be worse?"
Shen Zhiwei, the number two loser, also nodded, even a little angry. If Lu Yuan hadn't stipulated that no one should interfere in this matter, he would have wanted to go to Weibo to have a fight with these defenders!
