Stay away from sick dogs [entertainment]

Jiang Yuan stared blankly and listened blankly.

"Director Wang," Shen Du said to Wang Jinfa again, "We first need a purchase contract from Hollywood, preferably... a purchase contract from a big company."

Wang Jinfa on the phone seemed to ask why, and Shen Du replied: "Think about it. Zhang Zhi just said that he asked those film studios, and found that times have changed, and non-Hollywood is very difficult to get out. This What does it mean? This shows that those European film companies only believe in Hollywood’s vision, in Hollywood’s analysis of the current market, and in Hollywood’s control of future trends. Sales in the past few years probably also prove this point.”

After a pause, he continued: "Therefore, as long as we can get a little favor from Hollywood, the rest will be easy. We don't even need to sell ourselves one by one. Agents from various countries will come to us automatically and consciously." .”

"In addition, we can cut profits and make concessions on this Hollywood contract. After all, its main purpose is to incite European film producers and to show Europeans. Therefore, the price that was considered too cheap, meaningless and unacceptable in the past All can be considered - a few days ago, for this kind of too cheap, we would want to find another publisher with a higher price, but now, at this juncture, we'd better change our thinking and stop putting the country Regions are considered separately, but planned as a whole. In the next few days, film studios from various countries will still gather in the 'market', which is a good time to start. If a loss-making North American contract can attract many other profitable The contract is beneficial in the long run. But if we are indecisive, when the film festival is over and the filmmakers leave, the news that "The Cabinet" has signed a North American contract will not be sent out."

"..." Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded.

Can it still be like this? !

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt that if he played tricks, Shen Du might not be afraid of Liu Zhaojun, but Shen Du just didn't bother to take chances and make money.

At the door, Shen Du was still smiling at Wang Jinfa: "Okay, you can discuss it with Zhang Zhi, but you'd better make a decision as soon as possible. If necessary, I can ask a few friends to introduce North American publishers... Cheng, um, Cheng .”

Hanging up the phone, Shen Du turned around, smiled, and said, "Okay, I'm going back. I want to contact a few friends who are close to Hollywood in advance and ask them to prepare. Everyone is busy, don't wait for the critical moment. Can't find anyone."

"Yeah," Jiang Yuan said, "You go!" He also knows that this world is very magical, and whenever you have something urgent, your friends are offline.

…………

The news about copyright that Jiang Yuan heard again was that "The Cabinet" was about to sign with Universal Pictures, on Thursday.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

This is too fast!

"Hush," Wang Jinfa held the contract in his hand, mysteriously, and put a finger in front of his lips surrounded by beards, and said, "Actually, the copyright is only 2.5 US dollars, so don't say anything."

"Well," Jiang Yuan asked, "is it Shen Du's friend who set up the bridge?"

"Yes," Wang Jinfa replied, "a director who brought Shen Du introduced him to Universal Pictures, and the North American copyrights of that director are all in the hands of Universal Pictures. I doubt that one of the producers of Universal Pictures So signing our "Cabinet" is entirely for the sake of giving Dao Xie a face, for the long-term cooperation with Dao Xie... Whatever you want, buy the North American copyright for [-], we agreed and agreed, two Wanwu is nothing to them, it’s not painful, if we don’t agree, we won’t agree, anyway, face has already been given.”

Jiang Yuan thought, it's too miserable.

"Hey, I heard that when Director Xie sold his first movie, he printed 1000 leaflets and said, 'Please come and see my movie! Please come and see my movie!' before it was done. Yes, we are already very happy."

"what……"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Wang Jinfa said, "The producer Zhongzhi Film and Television no longer exists, and Party A's signature is quite troublesome. It took us a long time to prepare all the materials. Wang Zhi just made an appointment with Universal Pictures People, now we are going to the trading market to formally sign the copyright contract."

"Yeah!" Jiang Yuan said, "I'll go too, okay? I want to see!"

"Hahahaha," Wang Jinfa hugged Jiang Yuan's neck, "Go!!!"

…………

When we arrived at the market, Universal Pictures was already waiting at their own booth.

Wang Jinfa explained to Jiang Yuan again in a low voice: "Shen Du asked Wang Zhi to tell the people from Universal to sign the contract directly at their company's booth. Shen Du said that the more conspicuous the signing screen, the better, and the louder the movement, the better. "

Jiang Yuan said again: "..."

Wang Jinfa asked Jiang Yuan to wait. He and the producer took out Liu Zhaojun's legal affairs and financial affairs, the contract he had signed with his former partner, and some necessary materials, and then went straight to the market center Universal Film booth.Universal Pictures is very popular, and the booth they rent is very luxurious. After all, they also have movies to promote to other regions.

After a few days, all distributors, large and small, in the market knew people from Universal Pictures. At this moment, they saw Wang Jinfa and others walking into Universal Pictures' booth with their heads held high and sitting in a table. On the opposite side of the table covered with red cloth, the people from Universal also opened their chairs and sat down, and began to check the copyright transfer contract for the North American region that Wang Jinfa had just handed over. There will only be one copyright contract in North America, and the distribution area includes the United States and Canada.

It took about half an hour for the signing ceremony to end.

Jiang Yuan saw Wang Jinfa shake hands with the people from Universal one by one, and then laughed out loud, with a black face full of satisfaction and happiness, as if what he was holding was not a contract of 2.5 US dollars, but a contract of 250 million US dollars .

"Great! Great!" Wang Jinfa's voice was so loud that it could be heard from all over the world, "Thank you! Thank you all! It's my big day!!!" The more he said, the more exaggerated he became.

In order to show that he sold the North American copyright to the other party, and also to emphasize that the name of the movie he shot was "Closet", Wang Jinfa turned around after walking more than ten meters, and shouted in English: "That's right! "The Cabinet" still needs to be edited and revised!!! I will send it as soon as possible!!! However, I will send you the marketing materials you want when I get back!!!" In order to promote, the producer of a movie will send materials to the distribution These materials usually include film outlines, scripts, posters, trailers, news reports, live videos and photos of marketing activities such as press conferences, relevant introductions to industry publications, film reviews, ratings, etc.

"..." Jiang Yuan thought, the directors are indeed all acting.

Zhang Zhi next to him is very bad at English, but he tried his best at this time and said, "Sang Ke oil! Sang Ke oil!"

In short, the policy of "the bigger the movement, the better" of Shen Yingdi was perfectly implemented.

No face at all.

…………

The copyright price of a film and television needs to be kept strictly confidential, and there are relevant clauses in all copyright transfer contracts.As one of the most well-known companies in the world, Universal Pictures will naturally not advertise the specific price of "The Cabinet". Therefore, few people know that the North American copyright of "The Cabinet" is only 2.5 US dollars.

But on the other hand, because Wang Jinfa walked into Universal's booth in a big way, word spread, and almost all European and Asian film producers knew that Universal Pictures had just bought Wang Jinfa's Chinese film "The Cabinet".

As Shen Du said, since the sale of the North American copyright, everything has become smooth.

Many companies took the initiative to find a few of them and asked to watch the film, and other companies no longer had the noble and glamorous appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

In the next four days, "The Cabinet" actually won distribution contracts in [-] or [-] countries/regions!Including Britain, France, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Australia... There are even some places that are usually difficult to break into!Several of them actually promised a larger-scale release, not just in the Chinese district!

Some large distribution companies may have heard the inside information and did not buy it. However, many medium-sized film and television companies have expressed strong interest.

Wang Jinfa really didn't expect Universal Pictures' contract to be so easy to use.

On the night before the closing ceremony and award ceremony, he was so happy that he got drunk. In the end, Shen Du and Jiang Yuan carried Wang Jinfa back to the hotel room.

"Phew," Jiang Yuan said back in his room, "Twenty or thirty countries and regions, it's unbelievable."

"Well," Shen Du was wearing a black shirt, very gentle, "Your debut as the male lead has been sold to [-] or [-] countries and regions, which is a very rare number for Chinese-language movies in recent years. I'm sure this will cause a lot of trouble. A lot of people's attention. Those big directors who are interested in the international market will know you soon and will consider you in the future."

"Shen Du..." Jiang Yuan knew that Shen Du, as the winner of the three major film festivals in Europe, did not need extra halos. He came up with this strategy for himself, and contacted Director Xie and the others for himself. Swollen and swollen, he raised his eyes, stared at Shen Du, and said very seriously: "Shen Du, thank you very much."

He didn't dare to look into the other person's eyes, but stared at Shen Du's tall nose.

"It's okay." Shen Du chuckled, "I'm very happy. After all, I..."

There was a heavy pause at the end of the sentence, and a word was hidden, before continuing for a second: "...you."

"..." Jiang Yuan felt that after he said to "think again", Shen Du seemed to be too cautious, so he lowered his eyes a little, fixed his eyes parallel to Shen Du's lips, and said, "Shen Du, you don't have to." That way, you can say what you want. Nothing. Don't worry."

Shen Du paused for two or three seconds, hooked the corners of his mouth, and his voice was as deep and magnetic as ever: "Okay, since you want to hear..."

Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand and lightly stroked two handfuls of hair on the back of Jiang Yuan's head, "I love you."

"........."

Jiang Yuan thought: I didn't want to hear it.

No, I want to hear it.

Uh, I don't know either.
