Chapter 591 Say it to yourself every time
(Third update)
"No, is it? Is it the "Despicable Me 2" that I dubbed?"
Speaking of which, in Fu Luo's memory, didn't this animated movie enter China in the form of a share film? Why did Adam Ferguson, the Global CEO, actually prepare to sell it to him as a batch of films like the first one? What's going on?
"Yes, the boss, that's the animated movie." Jiang Xiaoyu confirmed.
"You said Adam Ferguson asked for $10 million?" Fu Luo continued to ask.
Then he still vaguely remembers that the box office of this "Despicable Me 2" in China seemed to be only over 300 million yuan. If the copyright fee was spent 10 million US dollars, plus the promotion and distribution expenses, the final cost would not have soared to 100 million yuan.
If everything doesn't change in the end, the 300 million box office will just be paid off. Then why did he do this? Isn't he so full that he is full?
Is it a waste of time to make money for the world?
Jiang Xiaoyu naturally didn't know Fu Luo's thoughts, so he confirmed again: "Yes, Adam Ferguson offered $10 million."
"You said, is this foreigner crazy about money?"
Anyway, the four of them were the closest people at the scene, so Fu Luo started to complain without hesitation.
"Uh...will we just push it off?" Fu Luo's reaction really surprised Jiang Xiaoyu, so she tried to ask.
"It's not necessary to just turn it over. I'll give the other party a price first. I think 4 million US dollars can't be more. If Global cannot accept it, then give up directly. If you want to find anyone you want."
Fu Luo quickly made a calculation in his mind. If he could get the copyright for $4 million, he could control the cost to around 50 million yuan, and then he could get the box office of 150 million yuan.
The final net profit should be about $10 million, which is not in vain for the dunes to work hard.
"Okay, I'll handle it as the boss wants."
Hearing Fu Luo’s thoughts, Jiang Xiaoyu agreed without much hesitation.
…………
At the same time in the United States, when Fu Luo and Jiang Xiaoyu were discussing "Despicable Me 2", Universal President Adam Ferguson was also annoyed by the movie "Despicable Me 2".
If he could, he really wanted to rush into China's "mapp" with a machete, because he felt that China's "mapp" was simply a little business principle, and he said that "Despicable Me 2" is not suitable for children to watch.
But why could Fu Luo, that Chinese, easily bring the first "Despicable Me" to China for a smooth release?
Originally, Global originally wanted to use the second movie to make a quota for the account split film, but then I knew it was rejected by China's "mapp". Is this kind of local protectionism too obvious?
However, in the face of this situation, Adam Ferguson had no choice. After all, China's "mapp" is the nature of the government department. What can he do? He is also very desperate. Could it be that he will protest to the other party's foreign ministry?
Therefore, Adam Ferguson had to find Fu Luo in the end. As a capitalist country since childhood, he would not give up easily as long as he had a slight profit to make.
Then because "Despicable Me" won more than $30 million in box office a few years ago, he sold less than $1.5 million in copyright fees, which made the board of directors have a lot of opinions about him, the president. Of course, Adam Ferguson also wanted to make up for it, so he offered a relatively high price.
If Fu Luo is unwilling to accept the price of $10 million, he can also go to other Chinese film manufacturers. Anyway, Chinese film manufacturers in the past two years seem to like to buy everywhere, and he is not afraid of not being able to find the next one.
…………
Fu Luo naturally didn't know Adam Ferguson's little thoughts, and then that night, he suddenly received another unexpected call, which was called by Michael Bay from the United States.
After a total of ten minutes of completion, Fu Luo was really surprised because Michael Bei actually asked him to recommend a suitable Chinese actress to play the role of "Transformers 4", probably because he, a Chinese, knew the situation the most.
In the end, he agreed to this matter. Although "Transformers 4" was a bad one, he was scolded for forcing a plot related to China to please Chinese audiences.
However, Michael Bay himself strongly denied it and said that the plot was originally conceived, but can this person believe it?
I started saying that I would not shoot since "Change 3", but I still got to film "Change 5". It was exactly the same as Cheng Long's words that he would no longer shoot action movies. He always spoke seriously and didn't keep his word.
This is just like a masturbating person. Every time I tell myself that this is the last shot, the result is...
Anyway, the possibility of Qiangzhi pleading with Chinese audiences is really high. It can only be said that Paramount, the producer behind "Transformers 4", is really short of money and is directly kneeling in front of China's huge market.
But no matter what, no one can deny the influence of this movie in the world, which is a rare opportunity for any Chinese actress.
Then Fu Luo's first thoughts were naturally women or friends who had a relationship with him. These were all human nature, and there seemed to be nothing strange about it.
Gao Yuanyuan is definitely not suitable here. Not to mention English is a flaw, but with Qiqi Mom's personal temperament, it is really not suitable for movies like "Transformers 4", so she was excluded by the first one.
Zhang Zilin's English is actually good. Not to mention how good it is, but daily communication is still fine. She has no experience in acting and has great flaws. She can be put on the candidate list first.
Then, Liu Yifei's English is also good. After all, he has lived in the United States for a few years, and then he will not talk about whether his acting skills are good. After so many years of filming, he still has rich experience in filming dramas and can also be put on the candidate list.
As for Fan Bingbing, English is really a bit bad. This woman is unwilling to settle down. She may not be able to speak English well in this life. She is really not as good as Li Lianhua in this regard.
In addition, the number of lines in "Transformers 4" this time is not small, so Fan Bingbing can only be excluded. This is probably because of the lack of self-conditions. No one except the individual seems to be able to help too much.
Other actresses with good relationships, such as Yang Fan, uh... don't seem to find a suitable candidate.
It was barely okay for Zhang Jingchu and Tang Wei, but they were not familiar with him, so Fu Luo had no reason to be a good person.
After thinking about it all, he found that only Zhang Zilin and Liu Yifei were more suitable. They really couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they could only wait and try their own opinions.
Chapter completed!
