At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 853 The Sino-US co-production thing (24)

In the company, Shen Xudong pointed to the articles on the computer and questioned Chen Xi: "The navy you found is too bad, it's just these few contents!"

"…Let me see…"

Well, it's Shen Xudong and Chen Daoming again...

Many sentences in it are the contents of Shen Xudong's "Supplements 2", for example, "I feel that Chen Daoming, Jiang Wen and Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang are all the same kind of people, very direct, emotional, happy and unhappy are all written on their faces, Their goal is very simple, that is to make a good movie!
But the good show doesn't come out as soon as the two lips touch.It needs money, it needs people, it needs censorship...

After the seventh trial and the eighth trial, the good show has become mediocre!
After the marketization of film and television dramas, it is even more difficult to do a good job. You have to find investors, distributors, and run around the country to promote them.

These are unavoidable, since you want to make a film, you have to accept them all, so it creates a very strange external form: anger.Therefore, Chen Daoming is not very happy to deal with the media. He will shoot if he has a good script, and he will deal with the media when promoting it. If there is no good script, he will not shoot! '

'Every time he sees me, he always asks 'Is there a good script'! '

""Fame and Li Wan" was forced to come out... I finished watching "The Wind" and wanted to make a spy movie, but I was not capable enough, so I added a talk about the work..."

"...This is not what I was looking for... It should be a few paragraphs cut by the self-media, and then play..."

"Oh…"

Shen Xudong probably understood, just like the relationship between Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo, each paragraph begins with "Look up and see the Big Dipper." ', this sentence is actually from "I Dedicate My Youth to You"...

Chen Xi continued, "Men in Black 3 had a box office of 3 million in the first three days of its first week. What do you think?"

"...What was the box office of "Why Shengxiaomo" yesterday?"

"174…"

"Depend on…"

This is falling too fast...

It is estimated that breaking 4 million is unlikely.

No way, when Hollywood blockbusters are released, audiences don't watch domestic movies at all-this is called the dominance effect of commercial movies, also known as the head effect!

In consideration of the protection of cultural diversity, the French government stipulates that no more than one-third of a film can be scheduled in any theater...

But this model is difficult to transplant to China!

Most theaters in China adopt the real estate economic model. Operating costs, real estate, and rent are all practical problems that theater managers have to face every day.

Theaters are here to make quick money and get back their money...

Shen Xudong also has no solution - Golden Harvest Cinemas basically gave "Men in Black 3" the golden field...

Shen Xudong looked at the computer for a while, and then he noticed that Chen Xi was standing there...He raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Chen Xi asked: "...Should we invest in a few Hollywood blockbusters?"

"...do you have an idea?"

"New Field invested 1000 million US dollars in "Cloud Atlas", and DMG Entertainment Media participated in the investment of "Looper" and "Iron Man 3"...I heard..."

Shen Xudong interrupted her: "You don't need to hear that these films won't get the quota of co-productions, at most they will be batches!"

What Chen Xi meant was to invest in a few Hollywood blockbusters, cast a few Chinese actors, and make them into a co-production!
How can it be so simple?

And it cannot be made into a co-production, even if it can be made, it is difficult to co-produce a co-production!
If it is really that simple, there will not be only one "Megalodon" that will be profitable in the Sino-US co-production...

"The Great Wall" took so much effort, but it didn't make a profit!

Chen Xi was puzzled: "...how do you know?"

"...This is a Sino-US co-production, not a Hong Kong-Mainland co-production. It is impossible for people to take advantage of loopholes, and..." Shen Xudong said truthfully: "The Film Bureau is very dissatisfied with the application of these few films for co-production, and is going to set an example!"

Chen Xi pondered for a while, and then said: "This is what I think, you have connections in Hollywood... You can definitely come forward and organize an investment platter..."

"... How can I have such a big face?"

"Why don't you, you are the No.1 Chinese movie!"

Shen Xudong pondered for a while, then shook his head: "The Big Six in Hollywood are not simple. They cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. "Harry Potter" can make a loss on the books...I don't want to cooperate with them!"

"Didn't we cooperate with Warner?"

"...That thing has two or three movies a year, all of which I set up myself..."

"I heard that Hollywood has an investment platter?"

"...What's the point? Let's just make our own movie honestly!"

Chen Xi shook his head: "The market trusts Hollywood!"

Well, the market does believe Hollywood...

In other words, the investment institution believes that the DMG Entertainment Media mentioned by Chen Xi just now is considered to have something to do with Hollywood because of its participation in "Iron Man 3", and the various PPT film lists have caused the market value of DMG Entertainment Media to rise. 500 billion!
The same goes for Kimet Films, relying on its relationship with France's Europa Films (Luc Besson's company), it has also achieved a market value of 400 billion!
After the oil was cooked in a raging fire, all that was left was a field of chicken feathers.

But... what Chen Xi said makes sense. At this stage, whether it is mainland stockholders or investment institutions, there is a kind of blind trust in foreign film history companies!
Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll raise [-] million US dollars first, invest in a few movies and see how it goes..."

"It's only [-] million dollars? Then our company can solve it by itself!"

"...2000 million U.S. dollars is a lot!" Shen Xudong was a little speechless: "According to [-] million U.S. dollars per share, that's ten movies... Do the math yourself, how many movies can Hollywood make money in a year?"

"...Then what movie are you going to invest in?"

"Illumination Entertainment signed ten film contracts with me, and I will add another 30 million US dollars to expand the share to about [-]%. In addition, some people in Universal have been wanting to restart "Jurassic Park", but everyone has no idea about it. I’m not optimistic, I can increase the stake and invest half of it...Dreamworks Animation is short of money, and Warner also has some projects that I think are good..."

"Why don't you pitch in a Warner movie?"

"Warner will not easily attract foreign investment in the DC series, and I don't like the rest of the movies!"

"...Then you can figure it out, five hundred million dollars..."

"Correct!"

"Ok!"

……

It's understandable for Chen Xi to do this - to drive up the stock price!

I heard that Wang Jianlin bought Legendary Pictures back then, and then rented a private equity fund, which was endorsed by the richest man in China. One can imagine the scale of this private equity fund!

Shen Xudong's current status, at least in the film circle, is not weaker than that of the later Lao Wang.

If he is willing to bet on his reputation, he can easily raise a private equity fund worth tens of billions.

Again, there is no need!

He does not lack that little money.

Ghosts and snake gods can jump out, but Tianmei can't, Tianmei is the leader of entertainment stocks, if he does this, then...the effect will be followed, and the capital will not invest in mainland movies at all, and invest directly in Hollywood!

How can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch!

You have to know, how can Hollywood capitalists, who own the most advanced film industry of mankind, have the most capital, technology and talents, be willing to share this market with Chinese local films for a long time?

Therefore, Guo Fan said, "Hollywood is trying to learn how to make movies that Chinese audiences like, and they have a huge industrial background as a foundation, so when they learn this trick, we have no resistance, capital It knows no borders, they just need to invest in Hollywood.If things go on like this, it won't take long for anyone to invest in Chinese films.
