Chapter 220 "Inception" Released (4/5)

Getting into Wen Ziren's car, Zhang Junsheng told him what he had just encountered, and then added: "I thought we were talking about feelings, but I didn't expect that it would be a deal in the end!"

"…Ha ha…"

Wen Ziren stared at him for a long time, then laughed heartily...

"why are you laughing?"

"In Hollywood, 80% of actresses do this kind of thing part-time. You are just now in this way and are very lucky!"

"…What kind of behavior do I do? I'm very clean and wear condoms every time!"

Wan Ziren gave Zhang Junsheng a blank look: "...I'm too lazy to tell you, by the way, I'm very interested in the 'Horror Universe' series you mentioned, but "Luxing" is not suitable for this big picture. Let's do this, I'm going to try this next "Summoning"!"

"The global box office of "Luxing" is close to $200 million, are you not going to shoot a sequel?"

"…The sequel will definitely be filmed, but I'm not going to shoot it. I'm going to give it to Adam Robertel. I'll just be a producer. Horror movies are gold mines! The DVD copyright of "Luxing" has been sold for $30 million!"

Wen Ziren was a little happy...

Speaking of "Dead Silence", Wan Ziren was silent for a long time and did not dare to shoot new works again. She was busy dealing with the matters of the peak. In April this year, "Luxing" was released. The investment of 2 million US dollars was exchanged for a global box office of 200 million US dollars, and she won 60 million US dollars in North America alone!

Shocked the whole of Hollywood, especially Lionsgate Pictures!

"Saw" was also low-cost and high-income, but the Lions Gate did not trust Wan Ziren and limited him to the "Saw" series.

Since "Saw 2", Lionsgate Pictures has stated that as long as he participates in the production of another "Saw", he will support him in filming new works. As a result, "Saw" has been filmed with the sixth part, and Lionsgate Pictures' promise has not been fulfilled.

During this period, the investment he filmed "Dead Silence" was still attracted by other companies.

Perhaps it was also because "Dead Silence" was not very successful, which made Lions Gate Pictures worry, so Wan Ziren left Lions Gate...

Then a movie "Luxing" announced the return of the box office bomb!

How much does "Saw" cost?

How many box offices are there?

How many video tapes and video discs were sold later?

How much does TV copyright cost and revenue come from?

It can be said that "Saw" guarantees the capital chain of Lions Gate!

Such a director would abandon it if he abandoned it. It can only be said that the boss of the Lions Gate has "foresight"!

Last year, the two films "Human Purge Plan" and "Silent Land" produced by Wan Ziren were sold globally for US$400 million, and the cost was less than 20 million...

Wan Ziren has proven his position in the horror film field!

As for the "Luxing" series, we must continue to do it. Hollywood has always ruled that an IP must drain its entire value.

"It's a pity that your horror movie can't be released in China. If you are interested in other types of movies, you can try it!"

“…There will be a chance!”

Wan Ziren sighed...

...

The Hollywood Chinese Theater is located in the heart of Hollywood Walk of Fame, adjacent to the Dolby Theater.

By the way, it has a handprint ceremony similar to the Avenue of Stars. Of course, this handprint is different from the Handprint of Stars.

Because the Avenue of Stars is on the road and its area can almost extend infinitely, it sends thousands of them to the people in front of the stage and behind the scenes, and dozens of new people are added every year.

The handprints in front of the Chinese Theater are very small and difficult to climb, and there are only about 200 of them.

In fact, these are things that Hollywood people have self-crowned or promoted each other, trying to immortalize themselves in history. If you have something to do or not, don’t pay too much attention to it when you are optimistic about gossip news.

Of course, in recent years, in order to generate income, operators have carried out many purely commercial handprint activities, and they just need to pay for money. Therefore, many movies will spend money on such activities in order to create topics to attract attention.

As for the handprints, they should not be placed next to the stars who are legitimate or invited to press their handprints, but will be placed elsewhere, so the handprints of these stars will not be included in the roster!

This is like holding a concert on the red carpet and a golden hall. It is foreign gilded and brought back to show off. It is understandable for the sake of movie promotion...

However, the China Grand Theater is indeed the place where many blockbusters premiere!

"Inception" chose to hold its premiere at the China Grand Theater, a very conventional choice...

In the screening room, Wen Ziren whispered to Zhang Junsheng: "This is the president of Warner Brothers, Jeff Robinoff..."

"open!"

"Hello, I have long admired Daming!"

Jeff Robinoff is a very experienced filmmaker. Under his leadership, Warner Bros. opened the Harry Potter series.

Unfortunately, he met Doug Walter, Nolan's loyal fan...

How did Doug Walter step by step into the CEO of Warner Bros.?

His method is very simple, just hold Nolan's thigh tightly!

"Inception" was given the peak opportunity because of Jeff Robinoff's opposition...

So, although Jeff Robinoff agreed to Warner to release "Inception", it is very doubtful how much Warner Brothers contributed to it...

If Inception sells well at the box office, it means that Jeff Robinoff has no vision...

After chatting with him for a few simple words, Zhang Junsheng said goodbye.

After all, I'm not a whole person!

In fact, Jeff Robinoff did not do well in his later generations. His investment vision was very problematic. Li An's "Billy Lynn's Midfield War", "Alpha", and "White Boy" were not very good at the box office!

"Warner Bros. is particularly powerful..."

"It's normal. There are frequent internal strife in large companies!"

Zhang Junsheng replied in a low voice, smiling at the arrival of the guests...

“…Does Yuehua also have internal strife?”

"What do you think?"

Yuehua's senior executives fought very well, especially in the variety show department. After the broadcast of "Where Are We Going, Dad", it directly triggered a reality show frenzy and caused friction between the five major variety show teams...

"In-fighting" in large companies is a normal thing.

It's not because I can't manage it, I'm too idle or anything.

There will naturally be closeness and distantness when there are too many people, and then there will naturally be factions and camps, and there will be conflicts of interests. This is an inevitable thing.

Since ancient times, the art of management has not eliminated internal contradictions, but controlled contradictions and even used them.

Moreover, as a professional manager, Tang Ningyu is not only responsible for the company, but also for the team and for his career. These three goals do not always overlap and sometimes even differ.

So, many times, in the face of internal disputes in the company, Tang Ningyu can only mix with the...

Fortunately, Zhang Junsheng always controls the overall situation, and the company's key business is movies!

The film department is safe and sound...

However, it is not a solution to fight like this. After returning to China, Zhang Junsheng prepared to reorganize the company.

"Okay, the movie is released, stop talking!"
Chapter completed!
