Big director

Larry Crowe.Sting offered to buy the North American distribution rights to "Atlantis" for $500 million.

This number, if it is to buy a low-cost independent film, will definitely make investors jump up excitedly!It's a pity that "Atlantis" is definitely not a low-budget film that relies on plot and creativity to win, and Zhu Zimo is not the kind of fool who is easy to fool.No one knows the value of this film better than him, $500 million?Outright buyout?What a joke!

"Atlantis" claims to have an investment of 5000 million RMB, but in fact the investment is only a few million because of the director's cheating.If you think about it this way, Zhu Zimo can make a lot of money just from the distribution rights in North America, but this is definitely not the case.Calculating according to normal logic, Zhu Zimo's investment in this film will definitely be astronomical, but in fact, if a film of the same quality is to be shot in Hollywood, the investment must at least exceed 500 million US dollars!This is the same as a domestic publisher waving [-] million yuan to discuss with Cameron about buying out Avatar's distribution rights in China. See if the tyrant will make him drool every minute?

Zhu Zimo's condition is very simple, he does not accept the buyout, only accepts the share.

The two sides set out their chariots and horses, and began to negotiate with every penny.In fact, Zhu Zimo doesn't have many skills, but he has a spirit of "hold on to the green hills and not relax". He used the data processing function of the optical brain to roughly calculate a price distribution bottom line that he and the other party can accept, and then Started to hold on.First, the lion opened his mouth wide and asked the other party to grind down the price bit by bit. After reaching the position near the bottom line, he refused to let go. The other party either accepted it, or everyone broke up.

His rough negotiating strategy can only be used in a seller's market. If the buyer doesn't care about the movie at all, the negotiation will break down in minutes.But the question is, is Larry Crow willing to give up?

Larry Claw hated this young director so much, he was so appetizing!Just disappeared for a whole day after the premiere, so calm!If I could have found him in the first place, I would definitely be able to seize the opportunity in the negotiation!But now the situation is different. Apart from him, several other colleagues have also heard the news. If he can't reach an agreement, there are still several companies waiting to take over... Besides, the conditions proposed by the other party are not unacceptable...

For now, the film festival has just begun, and it is best to finalize the issue of distribution rights before the results of the final awards show. Otherwise, if "Atlantis" has a few more awards and small awards, this director Zhu may be Will increase the price...

Larry Crow called the president of the company Shay for instructions, and then decisively signed the contract with Zhu Zimo.

The reserve price of 500 million won’t change, and then the producer will also participate in various follow-up splits, including box office splits, peripheral splits, and video tape splits. The split method adopts a hierarchical system. 5000% here, 5.00 million to 5000 million, 15.00% for Zhu Zimo, 30.00% for more than 50.00 million, and [-]% for more than [-] million.

The content of the contract was read by a gold medal lawyer, and both parties signed it with satisfaction.

It was also at this time that Larry Crow found out that Zhu Zimo, who he thought was a Chinese, had an American nationality.

Before leaving, he sincerely suggested to Zhu Zimo that he should come to Hollywood to develop, because the stage here is more suitable for him.

Zhu Zimo smiled noncommittally, and then he began to negotiate with publishers from Japan, South Korea and other countries one by one.

And just when they were so busy, the sensation caused by "Atlantis" finally spread.

In addition to the average attendance rate on the second day of the opening ceremony, in the following days, as long as "Atlantis" is scheduled to be played, the venue will be full of seats, and even when tickets are purchased for a single film, there will be a queue here. Get up the dragon!Because this film is not considered popular after all, the allocated venue is only medium-sized, and the film schedule is relatively not intensive, so many famous audiences have no time to enter the venue!After a few times, the complaints finally started.

Larmor.One of Dan's wonderful film reviews was selected for publication in the special issue of Film Week. Because there are many film critics during the film week, all those who can be selected for publication are of a high level, so this special issue is very popular during the film week. It is almost equivalent to a "game strategy", and everyone who wants to come to Taobao at Movie Week gets a copy, which is very influential.

Larmor.Here's what Dan's review says:

Promise God, I went to this movie to relax with a joke.

Then, this little-known Chinese director slapped me hard on the face!

Here, I want to apologize to Zimo for my arrogance and prejudice.Zhu apologizes, you are a very talented person and your talent is underestimated by all of us.

In terms of classification, this movie should be sci-fi-thriller-action. If you only read the synopsis of the plot, I have to be honest, it is easy to think of another classic series of movies "Alien".It's also about space, adventure, parasitism, but it's a completely different story if you can watch it once.

The world view inside shocked me!They appear huge and trivial, and because of these huge and trivial, they appear extraordinarily real, as if they are really stories that happened hundreds of years later—including the weapon system, the composition of the human regime, and the living conditions of the protagonist team—it is difficult to Believe it, you must know that even if the background of the story is hundreds of years later, the people who created them are hundreds of years ago, we will always leave some traces of "imagination" in it, maybe people who will see it hundreds of years later Those so-called 'future movies' will make our stomachs ache from laughing at the silly cuteness of us at this time, you know, just like we did when we watched the works of decades ago.

But this movie has a shuddering sense of reality!

I heard that the director was still underage when he made this movie?Oh, God……

In particular, it should be pointed out that the special effects of this movie are really superb!

Yes, this is a 3D stereoscopic movie.

When seeing this vocabulary, will many people have the same reaction as I did at the beginning, showing a disdainful expression?Stop it!Because the 3D effect of this movie will definitely make you jump in shock!

It's unbelievable!I mean, in that regard, Hollywood is pretty much nothing compared to...

All the details in the movie are extravagant and outrageous!It is no exaggeration to say that when I watch a movie, I hear the sound of burning money all the time... But I am thankful that the director is a wayward guy, which is great, because he has his waywardness , we can enjoy this overly luxurious visual feast!

……

There's still a long way to go.

In fact, according to the formal film critic routine, Lamore.Dan's film review is really too "unrestrained", which probably has something to do with his "part-time job" on the Internet. Whenever he is too emotional, writing film reviews will be overwhelming , The things written in this way will appear less serious, but the advantage is that they are more appealing. Since the films he reviews are already biased towards commercialization, and he is quite famous, so the special issue was published for him, and this is the This "non-mainstream" film review has caused huge repercussions.

First of all, many ordinary viewers who have read film reviews are known to have gone to see the film.

The attracted people, together with the past relatives and friends of those who have been seen, quickly filled the medium-sized venue that can only accommodate more than 200 people. After that, as many people as snowballed never entered the venue For this reason, the official phone call of the film festival was almost blown up.

These angry, dissatisfied audiences, full of protests, had nowhere to go, and all ended up touching Larmor.The forum where Dan is resident—yes, his film review [full version] for "Atlantis" is published here... Only those who go there will know, even if the special issue has Lamour's film review No matter how non-mainstream, it is also the result of his restraint and deletion as much as possible. In comparison, how normal are those sentences!The full version looks much fancier, okay?

These tourist groups, who had nowhere to vent, left all kinds of footprints in the comment area of ​​that film review post.

And this post, together with the photos of the red carpet of the opening ceremony taken by Zhu Zimo, were all over the Internet and posted on a newly established national forum in China.

All the texts are a combination of foreign language + Chinese translation, and the pictures are all carefully post-processed by Zhu Zimo, all dissatisfied ones are deleted, and only those high-quality goods are left to ensure that the characteristics and charm of each participant can be highlighted—— Zhu Zimo's director level may still need to be honed, but his picture processing ability like this is definitely at the level of a master. Even from the perspective of more than 300 years later, there is "no trace of PS", Zhang Zhang is natural, but if the original If you put the photos up for comparison, you can immediately see the difference.

This newly established national social forum is naturally the first work result of Kunpeng Company under Zhu Zimo.

In fact, this forum not only published the Cannes trip of the "Atlantis" crew, but also promoted the other two Chinese films together, and then various summary posts, various popular science posts, and all kinds of true stories of the actors. Gossip and gossip, true and false... are overwhelming, and there seems to be a trend of swiping the screen.

Another achievement of Kunpeng Company—the Kunpeng portal website, after many days of hard work and advertising regardless of cost, the traffic has already been considerable a few days ago because it seized the opportunity in China. Put it in the most prominent position of the website, most of these greedy netizens will click in to have a look, and then they will be bombarded by the information on it...
