"Chinese movies do not have their own channel network, so they can only borrow boats to go to sea... This is equivalent to giving up the initiative. We can cultivate our own distribution channels, but we must make plans that it is difficult to make a profit within ten years..."

“Didn’t your company work with Disney very happily?”

After saying this, an expert immediately raised objections...

"Is it very pleasant? We did it ourselves from the creativity to the production of "Kung Fu Panda", but Disney accounts for 70% of the profits!"

"Just because they have the ability to publish globally, we must rely on them. So far, "Kung Fu Panda 2" has not yet been launched. Why? It's just because we can't reach an agreement. We want higher returns and want to invest ourselves. Disney only needs to be responsible for the issuance, but it still doesn't work. People want 60% of the returns. If you don't agree, it won't work, because the copyrights are shared!"

The expert looked a pity: "Isn't it enough if you didn't give them the copyright at that time?"

Zhang Junsheng really wanted to slap him in the face, but he was still patient: "...Is it possible that he would not hand over the copyright if he invested 80 million US dollars?"

"You can invest yourself, 80 million US dollars, you can't get it..."

“…”

Are these experts really studying movies?

Can't even calculate something as simple as market supply and demand?

"We have a special overseas promotion company that tries to build ourselves into a national platform for future Chinese film exports. In addition, the State Administration of Optoelectronics has participated in film festivals, held film exhibitions, and used various platforms to recommend excellent Chinese films to the world..."

“…”

Finally found the reason!

Using the power of the country to recommend this thing, this thing is the most unreliable, because the profits created cannot flow directly into your own pockets!

And policies are changing every day...

In addition, the mainland market has risen year by year in later generations. The mainland market alone is enough to complete the KPI plan. Who is willing to invest his energy in overseas markets?

When I came back to my senses, I realized that Goryeo movies had occupied the market that originally belonged to Chinese-language movies. Not only Goryeo movies, Southeast Asian movies and other Asian movies have already risen!

Confused...

Keep closing the door and playing with your own!

"There are too few works sold by film festivals alone, and there are too few film merchants who come to participate in Chinese film festivals... We must have our own distribution company!"

Minister Luo spoke: "Your idea is very good, but there is no possibility of realization now. Haitui Company only has 3 million yuan in funds every year, and it is difficult to hold film festivals, and it is impossible to run a distribution company."

"Then please authorize me by the Minister, I will do it!"

"…Let's talk about this!"

Minister Luo glanced at Zhang Junsheng.

This is not a matter of one sentence. What Zhang Junsheng wants is not the right to start a distribution company, but the monopoly on the export of Chinese-language films...

Thinking about it, I know it's impossible...

This right is given to you, China Film and Chinese Film, what should I do?

...

After the seminar ended, everyone walked out of the conference room in groups of three or three.

"...Old Tang, the North American issuance company must be established. If it really doesn't work, just acquire a small company with issuance capabilities!"

"knew!"

Tang Ningyu nodded. Disney took up a large part of the profit share of "Kung Fu Panda". Not only Zhang Junsheng felt frustrated, but Tang Ningyu was also depressed...

The right to distribute "Despicable Me" must be in your own hands!

"The last two movies of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be launched. We should try our best to drag the global requirements. The overseas share must be at least 30% and the profits of North America... we can not do it!"

“…No?”

Old Tang almost jumped. The box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in North America exceeded 100 million. You don't want DVD copyright or online copyright?

"It's not that easy to talk about. People spend money to promote it, but they also want to make money..."

The third master came over and said, "Junsheng, Ning Yu, do you have time?"

"…certainly."

...

Zhongying and the Film Archive were separated by a wall and entered the Third Master’s office within a few minutes.

The assistant made tea, and the third master picked it up and took a sip: "You Yuehua wants to set up a distribution company?"

“…Yes, I have plans for this!”

“Specially responsible for North American marketing?”

"Well," it's good to talk to people who understand it, and Zhang Junsheng didn't beat around the bush: "The overseas sales of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are about 200 million US dollars, and the local box office in North America is almost over 100 million US dollars. This part of the box office has nothing to do with us, because there is no distribution channel, and I'm jealous!"

“…You guys release the sequel yourself?”

"I think it's a pity that there are all copyrights!"

Zhang Junsheng shook his head...

The third master sighed, and after a while, he spoke, "Huayang is going to film "Red Cliff", do you know?"

"Red Cliff"?

What does it have to do with Yuehua?

Tang Ningyu said: "I know, it is said that he has found director Hu Zongming..."

"What do you think?"

Tang Ningyu glanced at Zhang Junsheng and then continued: "It's very interesting. The entire East Asia belongs to the Chinese cultural circle and is of the same origin as ours. We can appreciate the same story. The theme of "Three Kingdoms" has always been very popular in Japan!"

"I also think it's good. The TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was exported for more than 5 million US dollars, which caused a sensation in the entire literary and artistic circle. We will definitely make more money when filming "Red Cliff"!", the third master continued: "...Is it possible to connect with Hollywood?"

Without Zhang Junsheng speaking, Tang Ningyu replied: "...It's hard! They can't even figure out the names of the characters in the Three Kingdoms, so what can they use to understand this story?"

"Then if I hand over the North American sales rights of "Red Cliff" to you, how much box office can you achieve?"

Zhang Junsheng thought for a while: "...There are almost 5 million Chinese in North America, and there are about 100 cinemas where Chinese people live. They can achieve a box office of up to 3 million!"

"Okay, then I'll sell you $1 million!"

Damn, take advantage?

How easy is it to release a movie? It can be released just by touching your mouth?

Why do you want to attend the theater?

Director Hu Zongming's face has long been thrown away by him...

Original time and space, "Red Cliff" North America's total box office of $600,000 is terrible!

Why can "A Chinese Ghost Story" sell well?

Because the entertainment effect is very good, and the fighting inside highlights the kung fu settings!

The only Chinese movies that Americans prefer are kung fu movies. They are the first in entertainment. They will not play deep and are particularly interested in epics unless there is a strong entertainment component in it. This is the success of "Troy", and then "King Arthur" and "Dynasty of Heaven" that followed the trend were defeated. The films they produced themselves are like this, let alone "Red Cliff".

Tang Ningyu explained: "...No, Sanye, if "Red Cliff" is the first independently released Chinese film, the publicity funds required will be at least 2 million yuan. If we use 1 million yuan to buy the copyright, we will definitely lose money!"
