my time as a director

For Iron Man 3, DMG Media, one of the top five 4A advertising companies in China, worked with Wang Xueqi and Fan Binbin. When it was decided to play the role, it was overwhelming publicity, and those who didn’t know thought it was the heroine.

The action crime blockbuster Loop Messenger is also a co-production film operated by DMG, and Xu Qing plays soy sauce in it.

In Yuntu starring Lao Tang, Zhou Xun played a supporting role in it.

In The Expendables 2, apart from Li Lian, Yu Nan also played soy sauce in it, which is Leshi's participation.

Huayang Media heard that it is also discussing with Columbia about a war movie about World War II, and plans to make a co-production film.

Columbia was miserably cheated by Huayang Media, and they dared to cooperate. The capital really didn't care about anything for money.

There are also Snow Flower and Secret Fan. These co-production partners are either big companies such as Huayang and Moying Group, or companies with extensive publicity channels such as DMG. Leshi.com has a market value of several billion. Video sites are also a form of promotion.

It was somewhat problematic to find Li Qian here, so Li Qian called Han Sanping in advance and asked about the relevant policies.

There are really changes. The higher authorities intend to rectify this situation of fake co-productions, and have formulated three more stringent requirements.

Domestic producers accounted for one-third of the investment, and Chinese actors played the main roles, and they had to be filmed in China.

Almost cut off the tricky way of co-productions.

Li Qian said with some embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Thomas, there have been too many things going on recently. Columbia and 3th Century Fox have come to talk about the copyright of Jaws [-] every day, so I almost forgot about this important event."

"Ha ha..."

Thomas laughed dryly. Although Li Qian did it on purpose, he couldn't expose it. Now he has something to ask Li Qian.

At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly, no matter how high the threshold for co-production was, he must achieve the purpose of this trip.

On the contrary, the higher the threshold set by the Chinese government, the more vigilant they are about co-productions, and the greater the threat of co-productions.

If you don't let me do it, I will do it!

"Director Li, if this is the case, it's actually not impossible. We can accept one-third of your investment. In addition to the 50% of Huaguo's box office revenue, we can also enjoy a share of the overseas box office. What do you think?" Thomas asked. made a plan.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qian smiled.

Mary, the production director of Legendary Films, who had been silent all this time, also laughed.

Li Qian smiled meaningfully, "I don't need overseas box office, I think Ms. Mary has a deep understanding of this."

No one knows the virtues of Hollywood distributors, and the group of capitalists on Wall Street have been cheated.

Legendary Pictures, which has been cooperating with Warner for a long time, heard that they were all cheated. If they hadn't signed an eight-year contract, they would have given up with Warner a long time ago.

There are too many examples where the movie sells well, the production company loses money, and the distribution company makes money.

There are also some movies that have to be paid to the actors and directors. In order to save some money, the distribution company will make the accounts. They will find that the movies are very popular, but the overall profit is not much. If you are more ruthless, you will make a loss on the account and do not have to pay. The box office is divided.

Otherwise, the major Hollywood giants will have their own production companies. Their production companies will invest together with other investors, and then the group will distribute it. In the end, even if the production company does not make money, it will be fine, and the distribution group itself will make money.

Was broken.Thomas wasn't embarrassed at all, it's a well-known fact.

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "We can guarantee one-third of the amount through the accounts."

Make false accounts?

Li Qian shook his head, "Well, what projects does your company have recently, can you show me?"

"Of course." Thomas readily agreed. Li Qian had already said so, so he should have thought about it.

Thomas took out a copy of the project that Warner's production company and other production companies that have been cooperating with, such as New Line, are preparing.

Mary also showed Li Qian the general situation of Legendary Pictures' recent projects.

"Three, wait a moment."

Li Qian gestured to them, opened a copy to read, and handed a copy to Du Yang.

When Du Yang accepted the project, he had an incredible feeling. When did a Hollywood film company take the initiative to seek cooperation from domestic and foreign film companies.

The blockbuster films of major companies have to rely on these Hollywood giants if they want to sell overseas copyrights.

In the past, which Hollywood producers were not superior to domestic companies.

And now, the vice president of distribution of the dignified Warner Bros. actually traveled thousands of miles to China to seek cooperation with them.

Moreover, Du Yang opened the file and looked at it.

Jack the Giant Catcher, the production cost is 1.95 million, super big production!

As the general manager of a film company in Huaguo, this kind of super production with an investment of hundreds of millions or even [-] million can be easily participated in?

This kind of battle gave Du Yang an irresistible urge.

Seeing Du Yang's excited look, Thomas felt a little complacent.

Warner Bros., a Hollywood giant, has a lot of big productions, and if any one is placed in Huaguo, it will make them tremble.

You've never seen a bastard in the world!

Thomas' inner sense of superiority came back again, and he turned his head to look at Li Qian again.

Well...

Li Qian's actions immediately made the pride in Thomas's eyes disappear, and he just looked at the information of the big-budget movies that Li Qian flipped through page after page at will.

Thomas swore that the man in front of him never stayed on any page for three seconds.

It's as if these big productions don't have the slightest attraction to him.

It's really not attractive to Li Qian, what are they all about?

Superface hacker starring Uncle Depp, a suspense movie cost [-] million dollars to make?

The investment in the hurricane disaster movie Not Afraid of the Storm is only 5000 million.

The Great Gatsby starring Xiao Lizi is obviously an Olympic film, forget it.

Chinese-American director Wen Ziren’s horror film The Conjuring, with an investment of 2000 million US dollars, Li Qian remembers that there are several of them, and if they can be released as a series, they must be a big hit, but they cannot be released in China.

There were not many films that could make money in China, so Li Qian casually threw a few copies on the table.

Thomas stared, not interested?

But then he laughed, and Li Qian pointed to one of the major productions and said, "This sci-fi film Pacific Rim is good, maybe we can discuss cooperation?"

Pacific Rim?
