The filming cost of "Twilight" is $30 million, and the actors are very low. They are all newcomers. What are the pays for?

Moreover, Dingfeng signed a one-time payment agreement for the trilogy and packaged several starring actors.

Of course, the pay for the second and third parts will definitely increase, but it will definitely not be much higher!

In addition, the filming location and post-production are all in Vancouver, with 30% tax refunds, so the actual shooting cost is no more than 20 million...

The North American box office alone has already guaranteed a big profit!

Now we should consider the overseas release situation!

Should I sell it in packages or set up an overseas distribution channel yourself?

Data shows that movies with a box office of more than US$30 million in North America are basically higher than those of North America!

Moreover, the full copyright operation is running, and the TV copyright in charge of various countries is a huge income!

Global offers a price of $120 million, wanting the overseas copyright of "Twilight"...

Zhang Junsheng was very hesitant...

To be honest, 120 million is very sincere!

After all, if "Twilight" wants to sell well around the world, Tsuna has to spend less than 50 million US dollars in publicity. As for overseas box office revenue, it can only recover one-third at most. Tsuna also lacks offline distribution channels...

It would be great if we could acquire a media company with global distribution channels!

This can only be said to be a delusion. MGM went bankrupt and Wanda wanted to acquire it. The price offered was higher than Sony. However, the federal government finally passed Sony's offer!

Even if the Americans agree, this thing doesn’t have $6 billion, don’t think about it!

Is it possible to acquire a issuing company with a capacity other than the United States?

For example, United Artists, Baida, and Roger Pictures are all old European film distribution companies. They have their own distribution channels. The most important thing is that the scale is not too large, and Zhang Junsheng has enough funds to buy it!

After thinking about it, Zhang Junsheng called Wen Ziren: "The overseas sales of "Twilight" can be handed over to Global, but we will pack it for sale!"

"Pack the "Garage Shrine", "The Decisive Battle of Ira Valley", "Never Back", "Worry-free" and "Twilight" that were not sold before to Global. Just... 160 million, 150 million is OK, you can do it!"

Wen Ziren: “…”

This kind of packaged sales is not original to Dingfeng Entertainment!

Originally, when China Film introduced a popular film every year, it always passively bought a few bad movies.

So many times, there are always several floppy movies released in North America that have been released for a long time in the movie bag. These are the ones that forcefully stuffed into the movie bag.

But this deal is not free, you have to buy it with real money.

For film companies, taking advantage of the money can not only recover funds, but also effectively dilute the profits of profitable films.

"Give me a year, and I will open up overseas channels. Then we will release "Crescent Moon" ourselves!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng immediately called Tang Ningyu and several other executives, and we will study which company is more suitable to acquire...

...

After the first weekend, the performance of "Red Cliff" on the working day was speechless...

The decline reached 70%!

It closed at 28 million on Sunday, but only 8.5 million on Monday. It is obvious that in addition to the impact of working days, there is also the impact of reputation!

The sounds of mocking "Red Cliff" can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

"Do you know the movie?"

"Understand..."

"The rhythm is a mess, the scene is a mess, all is a mess, and I really understand it a little!"

"Why don't you ask Zhang Junsheng to take pictures? He can take pictures more funny!"

"This is also called "Red Cliff"?"

The bad reviews of "Red Cliff" made the audience who had not yet entered the cinema hesitate...

What's more, "Crazy Stone" has not diminished popularity, with a box office of 8 million on weekdays, which is only 500,000 less than "Red Cliff" which was released for three days...

"Compare "Crazy Stone", I found that Hu Zongming didn't know what Chinese audiences wanted to watch at all. No wonder the box office and reputation were all terrible!"

"Where is sincerity, we can see at a glance where the $120 million is spent?"

"Maybe "Red Cliff" (Part 2)..."

"Come on, I've taken a look, I don't want to see it anymore!"

On July 6, the latest report of "Sanlian" was released: "Red Cliff" was released in North America, and the box office of a single studio failed to exceed 3,000 US dollars, and the tickets in the first weekend were only 20,000...

The box office suffered a tragic Waterloo...

No film critic even specifically commented...

Hu Zongming, who was originally looking forward to the North American box office, gave up completely and put all his bets on the Japanese box office!

"Crazy Stone" has a cumulative box office of 280 million, but it is unlikely to break the record of "Titanic". High-definition pirated version has become popular...

...

In addition to the fact that piracy has begun to be sold on the street, "Crazy Stone" online is even more rampant!

There are people promoting the pirated version of "Crazy Stone" in various film and television forums and film download websites.

There is no doubt that this is a large-scale and organized action!

Pirated movies in China are common, and there is nothing to be surprised about. It is normal for the movie to leak high-definition versions for two weeks after it was released.

However, there are actually people who are promoting the pirated version of "Crazy Stone". Obviously, this is an organized and premeditated behavior.

Who is the mastermind behind the operation?

Haha, don't guess at all!

...

"The cinema people reacted, "Red Cliff" rebate three points!"

"...We will return three more! The screening must be maintained..."

“…What should I do if I pirated the papers?”

"Say them!"

"Who are you suing?"

"The country has either issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Internet Audio-Visual Programs". Pirates are illegal. All websites with pirated copies will be sued by the Internet Supervision Bureau and asked them to ban the source first!"

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng looked at Ye Ning: "Go and find someone to burn the motherboard of "Red Cliff". At 8 o'clock tonight, I will see the source of the high-definition pirated version of "Red Cliff" appearing on Weibo!"

"…Also, upload the high-definition version of "Red Cliff" to major video websites and promote Yuehua Video homepage!"

The last one was a little deliberate and directly exposed the target. Tang Ningyu advised: "...Isn't this good?"

"They all come to the door, what's wrong with it? At worst, I apologize and say the staff is slipping!"

"No, you can't do this!"

Tang Ningyu stood up directly: "We have to follow the minimum bottom line when making movies. Yuehua is the largest media company in China. Yuehua Video has always insisted on authentic versions. If we do this, the entire industry will be completely in chaos!"

"…Okay, okay, you have a bottom line, you are awesome!"

After thinking about it, let’s change the way: “Let’s go to the media to promote it, and just say that “Red Cliff” was subject to high-definition pirated version and suffered heavy losses. How about it?”

“How to report?”

"I'll give a detailed introduction to how to read pirated versions..."

"Will there be any problem doing this?"
