Chapter 70 Closing (5/5)
MK2 decisively did not follow the price, and then "Love has a Next Life" was taken down by See-Saw!
I still have European agency rights!
What is this?
Digging a hole to bury yourself?
Before Zhang Junsheng could speak, Emil Sherman explained: "I think this drama can be promoted as a Chinese version of the 'human and ghost love', and the box office of 5 million euros is no problem!"
“…so sure?”
Zhang Junsheng is a little suspicious...
Then Emil Sherman went out, took a wine glass and wandered around for a few times, and came back and told Zhang Junsheng directly that he had sold the copyrights from five countries...
“…”
Such an exaggerated?
"Sweden, Finland, Norway, Hungary and the Netherlands, 300,000 euros!"
“…OK!”
Zhang Junsheng knew that in fact, selling movies and buying movies has to be done by professionals!
Emil Sherman has been rooted in Europe for many years, and how could Zhang Junsheng understand his connections?
Speaking of the European film market, it is mainly concentrated in Britain, France and Germany, and the rest is just playfulness, which can be ignored.
Those film merchants in small countries are like picking up leftovers every year, buying some small-cost movies, going back and fiddling, making some hard-earned money, and barely enough to live.
Emil Sherman didn't target these small countries at all.
Basically, I just shouted the price and sold it!
It’s really not that I don’t want to bargain. If you want too much, they won’t have money either.
The biggest profits are still in the box office share in Germany, the United States, South America, Australia and other places, as well as theaters in France and the United Kingdom.
...
On the last day of the film festival, the reporters left behind in Berlin were like spies who were in charge, asking everyone about "Is there any news" or "Is the jury's results come out"?
Some even want to know the information about the ownership of the award in advance through various relationships.
Tang Ningyu received calls from several reporters asking whether "Pulp Novel" had received a notice from the organizing committee.
So far, all twenty movies in the main competition unit have been screened, and only the biggest suspense of the awards left in this film festival.
In fact, the overall quality of participating films this year's Berlin Film Festival is relatively low, and there are not many truly excellent works...
Except for "Pulp Novel" that has won the audience and critics like it, most of the movies really have no fans!
However, the Berlin Film Festival has begun to vigorously support South American films in recent years. "Sad Milk", "Messenger" and "Sigant" are all works of the South American Legion!
It is normal that the Venice Film Festival has begun to support movies from some small Southeast Asian countries, and Berlin is biased towards South America...
They are all fighting against Hollywood!
Tang Ningyu was very angry, not because of "Pulp Novel", but because of some domestic film manufacturers!
After losing "Good Girl is a Big Star" and "Return to 17", Tang Ningyu couldn't help but complain: "I really don't understand what these people want to do? A movie like "Return to 17" actually called out a mainland copyright fee of 2 million US dollars. If you want to make a profit, you have to sell at least 30 million yuan in box office... No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for the movie to sell for 30 million yuan. Do you think they are losing money and making a profit? Or are they brain-related?"
“…Where is “Good Girl Is a Big Star”?”
"It was also bought out by Xiyi Pictures for $1.8 million!"
"Xiyi Pictures?"
Tang Ningyu doesn’t know much: “A new company that specializes in purchasing copyrights and doing international pre-sales and movie distribution, the boss is from Wall Street!”
“…is it a listed company?”
"No, it's just a newly established family!"
"... Then don't worry about him..."
"No matter how bad it is, I haven't even won a single movie yet!"
Tang Ningyu felt a little wronged...
Originally, the characters who came to Berlin bought batches of movies. This time, they prepared a cost of $3 million, and thought that they could buy ten movies no matter what!
The rise is too fast!
A bunch of domestic film merchants do not consider making a return on their money at all...
Let’s create the momentum first!
In fact, most of the film buyers in the mainland are the film purchasing department managers. What kind of film they choose is just to explain to the boss, and most of them follow the trend to buy...
After thinking about it, Zhang Junsheng suggested: "...Don't focus on North America, there are also good British movies, Japanese..."
"Piracy Radio" and "My Robot Girlfriend", both of these two films are pretty good!
Especially for "Pirate Radio", the behind-the-scenes production is gorgeous: the director of "True Love First", the screenwriter of "Notting Hill", "BJ Single Diary", "Four Weddings and One Funeral", and the producer of "Bean's Golden Week"... is still inspirational, still happy Ending, still full of introverts.
Great music! Long live rock!
"Sewing Machine Band" is a bit imitating "Pirates Radio", but unfortunately the difference between the two is too big. The former is a bit like a popular song crosstalk, but "Pirates Radio" is a real tribute to rock...
(If you haven't seen it, you can go and see it...)
"Okay, I'll go and have a look," Tang Ningyu thought of something and asked, "Have you received a notice from the organizing committee?"
"…Well, the invitation is here, do you want to take a look?"
...
Getting an invitation means at least there will be awards!
It's hard to say whether it's the Golden Bear Award...
However, judging from the current situation, the call for "Pulp Novel" to win the award is very high!
In any case, "Pulp Novel" has already set off a craze in the United States and Europe, and the box office will definitely not be bad.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the crew of "Pulp Novels" appeared on the closing red carpet on time.
There are not many people on both sides of the red carpet, and they are even a little less than the opening ceremony...
Wow, has the Berlin Film Festival fallen to this point?
In the original time and space, Zhang Junsheng has not paid much attention to the Berlin Film Festival. I can't remember the winner of this year's Golden Bear Awards. Anyway, it's not "Mei Lanfang"...
Moreover, the overseas copyright of "Mei Lanfang" has not been sold for several stores, so North America has not been released at all!
The crew of "Pulp Novels" is very relaxed. To put it bluntly, these people don't value Berlin very much. It is good to win awards, but it doesn't matter if they can't win...
The main battlefield of others is Hollywood!
In recent days, Natalie has been asking Zhang Junsheng a question, why does she refuse Hollywood!
That's right, Miramax, Universal, and even Di Baby have extended an olive branch to Zhang Junsheng, hoping that he can come to Hollywood to develop...
"Dark Green" has already reached the top ten best-selling list in North America. The projects are all ready-made. Find a screenwriter and adapt it to use it.
But Zhang Junsheng was never moved!
Natalie doesn't understand Zhang Junsheng...
In her opinion, Hollywood is the most dream place for filmmakers around the world. After receiving Director Zhang's firm answer, Natalie was obviously not as enthusiastic as before!
Sure enough, it was still a deal!
It's quite normal. After all, the main battlefield is in Hollywood, while Zhang Junsheng is developing in China. The intersection between the two is too small.
Give up the whole forest for a stick?
Natalie can't do it!
Chapter completed!
